The leader smiled and said, "Comrade Yu left home to save me. Children are the future of the country, so we must reassure them. When the peanut nougat is ready, share some with me."
With the leader's support, Chen Tianyang bought back what Yu Rujia wanted. After half a day of hard work, with Chen Tianyang and others helping out, they finally finished making the peanut nougat.
Chen Tianyang tasted it and praised, "It's soft and delicious, and doesn't stick to your teeth. Your child is so lucky."
Yu Rujia: "Captain Chen, if you like it, please eat more. I'll have to trouble you to send someone to help deliver it back later."
Chen Tianyang: "No problem, no problem."
Yu Rujia brought a few peanut nougat candies to the ward. The leader glanced at them and said, "I just saw you made several big plates of them. Why did you only give me a few?"
Yu Rujia calmly replied, "A few pills are enough for the Chief's health."
Doctors: "Would you mind if I tried it?"
Yu Rujia generously said, "Please have some." She wasn't one of those people with ulterior motives.
Besides, the materials were purchased by Chen Tianyang's people, and all her actions were performed under the supervision of Chen Tianyang and his teammates.
At most, while cooking, I secretly added a drop of spiritual spring water to the ingredients. Eating it would only bring benefits and no harm.
Dr. Zhu picked up a piece of candy and tasted it. As soon as the candy entered his mouth, he was momentarily stunned, then said very naturally, "It's not good. I'll eat it for the commander." He then took a second piece.
After spending a long time together, the commander could tell what he was up to just by looking at him. He laughed and scolded, "You old man, you don't even blink when you try to fool me now."
After cursing, he took a piece of candy and put it in his mouth, nodding as he ate: "Rich in milk flavor, crispy peanuts, a top-notch dessert. No wonder Old Zhu would try to steal my food."
Doctors denied cheating on food, and said with a smile, "Heaven and earth bear witness, I'm only thinking about your health. Your injury hasn't healed yet, so you need to eat more carefully."
Commander: "It's not the first time I've been injured. I used to eat much worse food, and I was still fine. Comrade Yu is a highly skilled doctor; she certainly wouldn't bring me anything I can't eat."
Yu Rujia: "There is still some candy with Captain Chen. If Dr. Zhu wants some, he can give it to him."
Having made candy, they couldn't possibly leave none for the people here, so they kept some, which Chen Tianyang collected.
Chen Tianyang felt a pang of regret. It was the first time he, someone who didn't like sweets, had eaten a dessert he liked. He didn't even share many with his soldiers, hiding them all to eat slowly. Now that Yu Rujia had revealed this, he knew he wouldn't be able to keep many pieces.
Sure enough, Dr. Zhu immediately said, "Xiao Chen, you're still young, eat less sweets, and save them all for me."
In Shangfen Brigade, Duole, who had been crying all day, sat listlessly on a small stool, his little nose twitching, which was heartbreaking to see.
No one in the family dared to make a sound, for fear of waking up Duo Le and making him howl again.
Just as he feared, Dorje was still young and couldn't stand holding the position for more than a few minutes. He shifted his body uncomfortably and bumped into the stick that was placed to the side.
The sound of the stick falling to the ground startled Dole, and the little guy burst into tears again.
Gao Shujing hurriedly held the little one in his arms and tried to coax him. The little ones tried all sorts of funny tricks to amuse him, but as always, it didn't work.
Just then, a man in plainclothes poked his head out and asked, "Officer Gao, are you home?"
Hearing the shouts, Gao Shujing came out carrying the wailing little Duole.
As soon as the two met, Gao Shujing recognized the man as one of the armed personnel who had come to invite Yu Rujia that day.
Even though he knew that the place Yu Rujia went to was under a very high level of secrecy, he still couldn't help but want to know about her.
Gao Shujing hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Comrade, is Rujia alright?"
When the children heard his question, they all gathered around, eager to hear news about Yu Rujia as soon as possible.
Little Duole knew that the person his father was talking about was his mother. He stopped crying, pouted, and stared at the person with teary eyes, pitifully hoping to hear news about his mother from him.
Under the watchful eyes of the group, the visitor smiled and handed Gao Shujing a package: "Comrade Yu is a good person, you can rest assured; she was worried about the children at home, so she specially made some food for us to bring back."
He glanced at Duole, whose face was covered in tears and who looked listless, and at the other children who looked unhappy. He thought to himself, "Comrade Yu really knows his kids. They're really making a scene."
The children's eyes lit up when they heard that it was something Yu Rujia had sent back.
Little Duole blinked, trying to wipe the tears from her eyes, and strained to open her red, swollen eyes as wide as possible, wanting to see what her mother had brought back.
Gao Shujing took the package and said, "Thank you, comrade. When will Rujia be able to return?"
The visitor said, "Comrade Yu will return one day."
Aside from a bag of food prepared by Yu Rujia, the visitor left empty-handed without leaving any other information.
Gao Shujing and the other children could only turn their attention to the package.
Duole stretched out her little hands and rummaged through the package, her face turning red from exhaustion, but she still couldn't find a way to open it.
Seeing this, Gao Shujing put the package on the table: "Duole, don't rush, Dad will open it."
Duofu obediently stepped forward and took the package: "Uncle, let me do it."
Duolu sniffed his little nose and asked expectantly, "It smells so good and sweet! What delicious food did Auntie make for us?"
The other little ones gathered around the package.
Under the watchful eyes of the group, Dolphin opened the package and then opened the metal box inside, releasing a rich milky aroma.
Duolu, whose nose is the most sensitive, immediately said, "It was made by Auntie, and it tastes just like this."
Dole reached his chubby little hand into the tin box, trying to get the peanut nougat candy inside.
Gao Shujing tilted his small body into the tin box, and Duole successfully grabbed a piece of candy and put it in his mouth. Immediately, the familiar taste made the little guy squint his eyes with joy.
This was the first time Duole had eaten on his own in the past two days. Gao Shujing and the other older children felt a little more relaxed, as long as he was willing to eat.
Gao Shujing: "Let's start eating."
Duofu and the others immediately reached out to grab the candy.
Duolu ate the fastest. A piece of candy melted in his mouth after a few sips, and he reached out to grab a second one, but before he could even touch it, a chubby little hand slapped his hand away.
Duolu looked in the direction of the little hand's owner and saw Duole pouting and looking at him unhappily. The little guy's babyish voice was a little hoarse: "Mine, mine, candy, mine."
Duolu swallowed hard, wanting some candy, but when he saw Duolu's red and swollen eyes, the little guy stood there helplessly, not reaching out.
