Chapter 158 Delicious Food and Hope
Everyone stretched their heads forward, trying to smell the delicious smell of the food.
The soldiers and medical staff present were also stunned. They couldn't believe that in this end times with scarce supplies, they could see so many delicious boxed lunches.
This, this is so precious!
So, even though they could hardly stop swallowing their saliva, they still forced themselves to refuse.
Han Xiaogang: "Mingliang, you should take back such delicious food. If there are any compressed biscuits, we can just eat those."
"Yes, yes, we can just eat compressed biscuits. They are quite delicious and can satisfy your hunger."
The soldiers and medical staff present also refused one by one, and even turned their heads away, not looking at the cart full of lunch boxes.
Looking at the soldiers and medical staff who were pale and skinny, Wei Mingliang felt as if his heart was blocked by a stone.
He didn't care how they refused, he just took out a box lunch from the cart and stuffed it into Han Xiaogang's hand.
Seeing Han Xiaogang trying to retreat, he quickly said firmly: "The base commander said, this is an order! If you don't eat, you are disobeying the base commander's order."
After saying that, he pulled and pushed the cart and delivered the things to them one by one.
The soldiers and medical staff holding the lunch boxes were shaking their hands.
Some medical staff couldn't help crying.
She didn't know why she was crying, but she felt her eyes were hot, her nose was sore, and her heart was warm.
The eyes of the others were also hot, but they just stared at the lunch boxes without touching them.
It seems that someone cares about them and feels sorry for them.
Their firm belief enables them to persist in selfless dedication in the face of suffering, but as human beings, they also hope to receive corresponding responses.
Han Xiaogang lowered his head and wiped his face vigorously, then looked up at his comrades and said, "Since this is an order, we must obey it. Let's eat!"
After saying that, he opened the lunch box.
Although they had expected that the lunch boxes would contain delicious food that they had never seen before, they were still shocked by the dishes in front of them.
The top layer is red and greasy braised pork, two fragrant fried skinned fish, two golden fried eggs with chives, and a bowl of beef and kelp soup.
There is no shortage of meat, fish, eggs and vegetables.
Below is a full layer of white rice, pressed tightly, as if to prevent them from not having enough to eat.
After distributing the lunch boxes, Wei Mingliang ran away.
A quarter of an hour later, he came back pulling the big cart.
Without waiting for them to ask questions, he took out bottle after bottle of iced herbal tea and distributed it to everyone.
"This is an order from the base station, you must eat it!"
Very good, this will block their rejection in advance.
When everyone heard this, they were both angry and moved, and then they all replied, "Yes!"
Whether it was food or cold drinks, everyone ate quickly but carefully, afraid of wasting a single grain of rice.
Wei Mingliang looked a little sad.
When I think back to when I was rescued by my sister, it was just like that.
As he watched, Wei Mingliang suddenly frowned.
"Doctor sister, I haven't finished eating yet, why did you put it away? There's no rush for work, you can do it after you eat."
Xu Hongmei, wearing a tattered military uniform, smiled and explained, "I have a small appetite and can't eat that much. I'll take the rest back to share with my comrades after our shift change."
When Wei Mingliang heard this, he realized that many people had put away their half-eaten lunch boxes and placed them carefully beside them.
In order to allow people outside to check in as quickly as possible and avoid being exposed to the scorching sun the next day, soldiers and medical staff take turns on duty.
In addition to the group of people who were called back, those who were seriously injured were also sent back to the dormitory to rest.
The half of the food they left was for them.
Han Xiaogang: "Mingliang, this meal is too much, we really can't finish it. The captain will be bringing back his comrades soon, so it's a good idea to give them some so that nothing is wasted."
"You're lying!" Wei Mingliang retorted without hesitation, "This meal isn't that big at all. Even I can finish one."
"Humph, the base has already prepared boxed lunches for everyone. Even if you have leftovers, no one will eat them. It's so hot, you won't be able to survive until tomorrow. If the food goes bad, you'll be wasting it."
When everyone heard this, they immediately showed embarrassed expressions.
"Ah, yes, is that so? Well, it's really not good to waste food. Let's eat the rest right away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of slurping rice began to be heard again.
The food-eating live broadcast made the disaster victims outside feel extremely distressed.
But no matter how painful it is, they force themselves to continue to endure.
During this period, no one was provoked to step forward and grab it.
The guards at the base have such good food, which makes them more confident about their future life at the base, and they are looking forward to the work promised by the base commander.
With those people on the blacklist before them, they would be fools to rush forward and steal things just for the sake of momentary pleasure.
But adults can bear it, but children can't.
Many children started crying because they were hungry.
Some adults were worried about angering the people at the base and not letting them in, so they could only try their best to coax the children. When that didn't work, they even tried to cover the children's mouths with their hands.
Han Xiaogang and others in front, as well as Wei Mingliang, saw the commotion.
Han Xiaogang's first reaction was to give away the remaining food, but he quickly restrained himself.
When the captain left, he reminded us that the base commander did not like saintly hearts and selfless dedication.
What's more, their own food is provided by the base commander, and they have no right to use the things in the base to realize their selflessness.
When Wei Mingliang saw this, his eyes curved slightly and he was very, very happy.
They really kept their sister's request in mind at all times.
With this in mind, he climbed up onto the scaffolding platform, held a loud speaker and shouted, "Children under sixteen, come to the front!"
The people below looked at each other, some worried that the children's noise had made them unhappy.
However, due to their fear of the base, they still walked up slowly.
"Comrade, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! The child didn't cry on purpose. He just felt a little uncomfortable. He will be fine in a while."
"Comrade, my child is very well behaved and has done nothing wrong. Please, don't make things difficult for him!"
Everyone looked at Wei Mingliang anxiously, their faces full of uneasiness.
Wei Mingliang didn't explain, but took out a piece of milk bread from the bottom of the cart and handed it to a three or four-year-old child.
"You are the food given to the children by the base commander."
Milk, bread, this, this is too good.
The woman holding the child looked at the food in the child's hand and knelt down with a thud.
