Xi Mufan walked out of the sanitation team's duty room, where Guan Wenru was sitting on a stone bench under a tree.
In front of her were several open aluminum lunchboxes, containing steaming braised pork, golden scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and snow-white rice.
Seeing someone approaching out of the corner of her eye, Guan Wenru looked up and saw it was Xi Mufan. She smiled and asked, "You finished your diagnosis so quickly?"
She had just seen two elderly people in his duty room.
"Yes, they came before, and they're here today to get their medicine."
Xi Mufan walked over to her, saw the contents of the aluminum lunchbox, and raised an eyebrow. "Just say what you want to say. Since when did we need to resort to bribery between us?"
"Look at what you're saying," Guan Wenru laughed. "Couldn't I just be here to catch up with you, my friend?"
"This isn't like you, Miss Guan."
"Get lost!" Guan Wenru handed him the chopsticks in her hand. "Let's eat first."
Xi Mufan sat down and took the chopsticks. "It smells so good. Thank you, Miss Guan. I can finally have a luxurious meal."
"If you shout again, I'll sew your mouth shut."
Xi Mufan chuckled and took the initiative to perform a stitching motion.
Guan Wenru then remembered something and looked down at his leg. "By the way, how's your leg injury? I saw Baiyun yesterday, and she said you still went to the production brigade for medical rounds."
"It's been over a month, and the injury is fine now." Xi Mufan picked up a piece of braised pork.
Guan Wenru nodded and was about to pick up her chopsticks when she saw Bai Yun carrying a net bag containing lunchboxes, walking briskly over.
She still had a sweet smile on her face.
"Sister Blue Sky, what brings you here today!"
Guan Wenru put down her chopsticks. She noticed what Bai Yun was carrying and raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly. "Xiao Yun, that's what I should be asking you. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the factory at this time?"
Some of the factory buildings have already been completed, and for the past two weeks, the factory workers have been studying there during their working hours.
The factory is about eight or nine kilometers away, but Baiyun can still rush over during her lunch break...
It seems...
Guan Wenru narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze sweeping over Bai Yun and Xi Mufan's faces.
Xi Mufan sighed helplessly, "Comrade Baiyun, I've already told you, you don't need to bring me food anymore."
He had refused countless times, but Baiyun was heartless and stubborn, insisting on giving it to him.
That day, he tried to be serious and told her to stop bringing him food. But she said he was being mean to her and even cried, which scared him so much that he had to shut up.
Bai Yun ignored Xi Mufan's words. She placed the lunchbox on the stone table, opened it, and found steamed buns and a plate of stir-fried shredded pork with greens inside.
At the same time, she also saw what Guan Wenru had brought, and her eyes lit up. "Sister, you're eating so well! Wow... Comrade Xi Mufan, are you upset that the food I brought isn't good, so you won't let me bring you food?"
"..." Xi Mufan said helplessly, "No."
"Oh, that's good." Baiyun sat down with a smile. "Sister, am I in for a treat today?"
Guan Wenru tapped her forehead. "Alright, you've never missed a week of eating. Hurry up and eat."
Xi Mufan hadn't touched the white rice in the lunchbox, so he pushed it in front of Bai Yun, saying, "I'll eat the steamed bun, you eat this."
Guan Wenru: "..."
She raised an eyebrow again, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Baiyun likes to eat white rice and doesn't like to eat steamed buns or other wheat-based foods.
But in this era of scarcity, Baiyun never said such a thing to anyone. It seems that Xi Mufan observed it himself.
She was worried that Baiyun's enthusiasm was one-sided, but now it seems...
These two... have a chance!
Bai Yun and Xi Mufan seemed to have developed a tacit understanding. When Xi Mufan pushed the rice towards her, she subconsciously pushed the lunchbox containing steamed buns towards him.
"Oh, right, sister." Bai Yun first ate a piece of braised pork, and then remembered, "Brother-in-law was urgently called away today. When he left the factory, he looked quite serious. Something might have happened."
Guan Wenru paused, her hand holding the chopsticks pausing. Something flashed through her mind, and her brows furrowed, but she maintained her composure. "It's probably some urgent matter at the military base. Don't worry, that's how they do their job."
Xi Mufan clearly sensed that Guan Wenru was acting strangely. To prevent Bai Yun from asking any more questions, he took the initiative to put a piece of braised pork on Bai Yun's plate.
Guan Wenru: "..."
So Xi Mufan is going to sleep with her sister?
Since she didn't know what the two were thinking, Guan Wenru didn't want to make any jokes.
She ate her meal in silence.
After the meal, Xi Mufan took the initiative to clean up the lunchbox, took it inside to wash it, and then took it out again.
After packing up the lunchbox, Guan Wenru immediately took out a piece of paper from her pocket. "Alright, we've eaten, let's get down to business."
Xi Mufan chuckled, "I knew it."
Before she got married, Guan Wenru was already very careful about the distance between men and women.
Now that she's married, and given that He Yanzhi is prone to jealousy, she'll be even more careful.
She wouldn't come to see him alone unless it was something urgent.
Guan Wenru chuckled, "I have a prescription; could you please take a look at it for me?"
Xi Mufan took the prescription, unfolded it, and quickly scanned it. "Foreign medicine, huh? I've never even heard of these scientific names. Where did you get them?"
“My parents brought these back from studying abroad. I don’t know what they’re for, and my parents have forgotten. They don’t know what they’re for, or if there are any special considerations. You know about this, could you help me figure out what kind of effect these medicines would have if they were combined like this?”
