Chapter 30 When did their General become so stingy?



The campsite was bustling with activity early in the morning.

We can finally leave the asymptomatic camp.

They followed Qu Ming to cultivate the land, and everyone seemed very excited.

After all, the general said that as long as they cultivate the land, they can be allocated land and property in the future.

In the near future, they may have their own land and even houses, which would naturally make them happy.

Although some people still want to return to their roots and go back to their hometowns after the famine years are over.

However, after learning that the land here is fertile and can produce a lot of food, most people are filled with longing for this place.

After all, the purpose of living is simply to ensure that one and one's family do not go hungry.

Although this is a border region and there is still war, at least there is food to eat here.

Life is life no matter where you are. Here, this general, who looks fierce but feeds them and treats their illnesses, is much better than those corrupt officials who constantly embezzle their food.

Therefore, everyone was full of enthusiasm when they learned that they were going to cultivate the land.

Those lying in the intensive care and mild care wards were filled with envy: "When can we go back to work?"

They have been farmers their whole lives, relying on the weather for their livelihood; this has become ingrained in their very being.

Shulan said, "Soon, in a few more days, once you're fully recovered, you can go back to work together."

Everyone was very happy to hear that it would only take a few days.

Compared to the despair and pain everyone felt at the beginning, everyone is much more relaxed now.

Shulan has gone from working non-stop at the beginning to having a much easier time now.

Big Beard has been very busy lately; he's rarely seen, not even during the day, let alone in the camp.

That's normal, though; a general like him has a lot to do.

Little did she know that it was only after she had rested and left the tent that the bearded man would go to rest.

Wang Yaozhi arrived on the afternoon of the third day.

He was clearly exhausted, so Shulan said, "Senior Brother Wang, you should go and rest for a bit. I can take care of things here."

Wang Yaozhi was indeed tired, but he didn't refuse and took Huang Qi to rest.

Then Shulan saw the long-unseen bearded man.

He Fengmian went back to the military camp and, knowing that Chen Ma and the others were worried about someone, also went home.

Meanwhile, "Food stalls and medical clinics are ready."

We're just waiting for her to get back so we can open for business.

She was delighted to be starting her own business: "That's wonderful."

She looked noticeably thinner, and there were dark circles under her eyes.

He Fengmian's tone softened slightly as he said, "After this is over, you should get some rest. You've worked hard these past few days."

Shulan smiled and said, "It's not hard work, it's great to be able to help everyone. But after I'm done here, I really need to get a good night's sleep."

Fewer and fewer people are being transferred from the mild cases area, while more and more are leaving the severe cases area.

This means that, except for a few special wounded soldiers, the others will recover in just a few days.

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but admire him: "Fortunately, Senior Brother Wang separated everyone from the beginning to isolate more people from infection, otherwise it would not have been possible to end it so quickly."

In less than half a month, malaria was completely controlled. Even in modern times, it is not possible for anyone to do so well when there is such a large-scale outbreak.

Therefore, "Senior Brother Wang is truly amazing."

Looking at her adoring expression, He Fengmian sensed an unreadable emotion that even he himself probably didn't understand.

He simply gave a vague "hmm" and said, "He is indeed quite good at this."

Of course, it would be even better if he didn't cause trouble with his brother.

Thinking of his elder brother, He Fengmian recalled something.

He had someone bring her a bundle and said, "Uncle Rong said that these are things that Aunt Chen and the others brought for you."

Shulan could smell the aroma: "It must be roast chicken. Chen Ma's roast chicken is especially delicious."

I opened it and sure enough, it was there.

She couldn't forget the taste after just one bite, and as she looked at the still-warm roast chicken, her mouth involuntarily watered.

There's nothing I can do. Although I occasionally cook special meals for myself, most of the time we eat steamed buns and porridge, and I'm tired of it.

Seeing this roast chicken that smells so good, and looks incredibly tender and delicious, it's no wonder my mouth is watering.

She didn't even bother to wash her hands before tearing off a large chicken leg. The heat and aroma wafted over her, but she didn't rush to eat it.

He handed the chicken leg to the bearded man in front of him and said, "You should try it too. Chen Ma's chicken is delicious."

He Fengmian was taken aback, looking at her eager and expectant expression.

In the end, he took the chicken leg and, seeing her insistent expression that he should try it, took a bite.

The taste was indeed: "Very good."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "It's fresh and delicious, even better than the ones from Yuzhaifang in Beijing."

"Right, right? I told you it was the best." Now that it was just the two of them, Shulan tore off a piece of chicken, looking even happier than if she had praised herself.

"The chicken that Chen Ma makes is the best I've ever eaten. I knew back then that if the food shop sold roast chicken, the business would be great. They also sell braised meat and snacks from various parts of Beijing."

Life in this border town isn't as bad as people imagine.

When she was strolling around, she found that the city was very large and she saw many wealthy families who were clearly not short of money.

I heard that some of those people were wealthy people who came here to seek refuge, and finding it nice, they decided to stay and live here.

Some were exiled here, and although their homes were confiscated, some still had considerable resources.
