Just as she thought of this, Bai Yun noticed that Xi Mufan was not wearing the clothes he had worn yesterday.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, settled down again.
She was overthinking it. He had changed his clothes; he definitely hadn't been walking all night.
Xi Mufan could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her changing expressions.
He still had a gentle smile on his face. "I got up early today, so I went into the mountains to find some herbs."
Baiyun: "???"
Seriously? It's that hard?
Other military dependents also felt that Xi Mufan had worked very hard, and they all chimed in with their opinions:
"Dr. Xi, you are so dedicated. With you in the commune's health team, the commune members can feel much more at ease."
"Yeah yeah!"
"By the way, Dr. Xi, are you going to the commune health team now? We're going the same way up ahead, get in the car, I'll give you a ride."
“I’m strong, I’ll carry you, Dr. Xi, please get on.”
Xi Mufan smiled at everyone, "Thank you, sisters-in-law, but I won't trouble you. Xiaoyun doesn't like riding a bike, so I'll give her a ride."
"???" Baiyun blinked. When did she... stop liking riding a bike?
The other sisters-in-law all knew that Xi Mufan was a good friend of Guan Wenru's family, so when he said that, they actually thought it was reasonable.
Baiyun was completely confused; she didn't even know how she ended up in the back seat of the car.
When they reached the fork in the road, Xi Mufan didn't stop. Instead, he drove her to the factory gate and parked his car.
After Baiyun got off the bike, fearing he wouldn't have enough time, she offered, "You can ride this bike to the commune's health team, wait..."
"Okay." Xi Mufan didn't even give her a chance to finish. "I'm leaving now. Be careful at work."
After saying that, he patted Baiyun's head again and then turned the car around.
Just like that…
He rode off on his bike!
Baiyun stared blankly at his departing figure.
no…
no…
Is that correct?
Is this correct?
Hua Xiaoyu had already parked the car. Seeing Bai Yun still at the door, she couldn't help but walk over. "Everyone's gone, what are you still looking at? Hurry up and go in, the two deputy factory directors are about to have their morning meeting."
"Oh!" Bai Yun came back to her senses, too lazy to guess what was going on with Xi Mufan's sudden change in mood.
She took Hua Xiaoyu's arm. "Sister-in-law, let's go."
...
Bai Yun thought Xi Mufan would ride over after get off work in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, he arrived at noon.
As soon as the lunch break bell rang, the workers dispersed in twos and threes to eat.
Baiyun was about to go find Hua Xiaoyu and the others to have dinner together.
But as soon as she stepped out of the workshop, she looked up and saw Xi Mufan standing at the door.
Xi Mufan waved to her as well.
They were obviously there to see her.
Bai Yun looked puzzled. This seemed to be... the first time he had come to see her in the middle of the day.
In the past, she would always run to the commune health team to find him at noon!
After thinking for a moment, Baiyun turned around and said something to Hua Xiaoyu and the others, then ran out.
Xi Mufan was also carrying a cloth bag, which clearly contained a lunchbox.
"Brother Mu Fan, what brings you here in the middle of the day? Are you here to return the car? I'm not in a hurry to use it."
"It's not about returning the car. I'm just borrowing your car. I'll come back this afternoon to take you back to your family compound."
"Oh, okay, you can use it for now."
Baiyun knew that Xi Mufan and Doctor Chen often went to the production brigade to provide medical care, so perhaps they really needed a bicycle.
So she didn't think much of it.
Xi Mufan pointed to the big tree nearby, "Shall we go eat there?"
Bai Yun was also holding two aluminum lunchboxes. "Okay!"
As soon as the two reached the base of the big tree, Bai Yun was about to plop down when Xi Mufan stopped her, saying, "Wait a moment."
Then, he took off his thin coat and spread it on the ground. "Sit down."
"Huh?" Bai Yun frowned. "Isn't this a bit much? My work clothes aren't clean either. Let's just sit on the grass."
"It's okay, just sit here." Xi Mufan gestured somewhat forcefully for her to sit down, while he sat down not far from her.
Once everyone was seated, Baiyun didn't bother to say anything more.
I just thought he was a gentleman and took care of his female comrades.
She then opened her two lunchboxes; one contained rice, and the other contained two fried eggs and stir-fried vegetables.
Actually, she didn't know what her grandmother and sister's abilities were in getting that meat, but in any case, there was meat to eat at home every day.
However, she was having lunch with the military families, so it wasn't appropriate for her to bring meat.
But she gets to eat eggs every day, so her meals are much better than those of the military dependents.
Xi Mufan had already placed the cloth bag on his lap and opened it, revealing three lunch boxes inside.
A box of whole grain rice, a box of braised pork, and a box of scrambled eggs.
After opening it, Xi Mufan handed her the braised pork, saying, "Here, take this. Your job must be tiring, so eat more, or you won't get enough nutrition."
When Baiyun saw the meat in the lunchbox, she quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need! I have meat to eat, you can have this yourself!"
These days, it's hard for everyone to get meat coupons, but she's a factory worker and gets extra meat coupons every month.
Xi Mufan was in the medical team; he probably didn't have as many hostages as she did.
Plus, since she lives at her sister's house, she really doesn't lack meat to eat. She's even grown taller in the past few months!
Xi Mufan picked up the unused chopsticks and forcefully put the meat into her lunchbox. His tone was gentle but forceful. "I brought it all. Eat without worry. When I injured my leg, you made me a lot of meat. Today, the grocery store rarely has meat, so I grabbed some. There are also scrambled eggs. Eat more!"
Bai Yun didn't even have a chance to refuse. Seeing him about to put a box of braised pork on her plate, she quickly stopped him, "That's enough, that's enough. I don't have that much of an appetite!"
