Family compound.
Yao Hua took a car here early in the morning. On the way, she went to the morning market and bought a freshly killed old hen and some nourishing ingredients.
Upon entering the residential compound, Yao Hua went to Jiang Yue's house first.
Yesterday, Jiang Yue knew she was coming to take care of Political Commissar Yu, so she gave her the key to the place.
When she arrived this morning, Battalion Commander Lu told her to stay here and take care of Political Commissar Yu for the next few days, and that she didn't need to go to night school for the time being. He told her to call Yueyue to let her know when she could go back.
Yao Hua didn't know what had happened, but she was quite obedient.
Lu Jingnian has been preventing her from going to class for the past two days, and she didn't ask why; she readily agreed.
After opening Jiang Yue's door, Yao Hua first cleaned the room, then went to the kitchen to stew the old hen she had bought before taking the snacks she had bought for Commissar Yu yesterday and going upstairs.
Upstairs, Yao Hua had just arrived when she saw that Commissar Yu's door was open, and Commissar Yu himself was sitting in the living room, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the door.
Political Commissar Yu actually had someone drive him back last night. Because his leg injury hadn't healed, he didn't need to go to the battalion headquarters for the next few days and stayed in the family compound to recover.
Yao Hua said she would come to take care of him this morning. Political Commissar Yu woke up before dawn. Because he hadn't been back for a long time, the house was covered in dust. Fearing that Yao Hua would have to go through the trouble of cleaning for him, Political Commissar Yu dragged his injured leg and started cleaning before dawn.
He was injured, so he was cleaning rather slowly.
When Yao Hua came up, the floor that had just been mopped wasn't dry yet.
"Hua Hua, you're here."
Upon seeing Yao Hua come up from downstairs, Political Commissar Yu immediately stood up from the sofa.
"You have a leg injury, don't stand there."
When Yao Hua saw him stand up as if he wanted to come to the door to greet her, she quickly ran over and helped him up.
"It's not like this is my first time here, why are you so excited?"
With one hand supporting Political Commissar Yu, Yao Hua placed the snacks she was carrying in her other hand on the coffee table next to her and asked him with concern, "Does your leg injury still hurt?"
It was a bit hot while cleaning, so Political Commissar Yu took off his jacket, revealing that he was now wearing the shirt issued by the army, with the cuffs rolled up high.
Yao Hua supported him, her hand gripping his strong arm. The girl's warm palm made Political Commissar Yu's body stiffen slightly. He turned to look at Yao Hua, meeting her concerned and clear eyes. Political Commissar Yu pursed his lips, then looked away and said softly, "It doesn't hurt much anymore, you... don't worry."
After saying that, he pushed away Yao Hua's hand that was supporting his arm and quickly sat back down on the sofa.
Yao Hua didn't notice his unusual behavior. When he said his leg didn't hurt much anymore, she felt relieved and opened the snacks she had brought and placed them in front of him.
"These are some snacks I bought especially for you yesterday. How do you like them?"
After speaking, Yao Hua got up and looked around the room, her gaze finally landing on the still wet floor where she had just taken off her clothes.
"Did you clean up the mess yourself?" she asked Political Commissar Yu.
"no."
Political Commissar Yu dared not admit it, "I've been away on a mission for a long time and haven't been back. My house was too messy, so I had someone clean it for me this morning."
"oh."
Yao Hua nodded, but it was unclear whether she believed it or not.
"I really didn't clean it." Commissar Yu emphasized again, fearing Yao Hua wouldn't believe him.
"I heard you."
Yao Hua glanced at him and asked, "Do you have hot water at home?"
Why didn't you even pour yourself a cup of hot water?
The table looked like it had just been wiped clean; there wasn't even a water glass on it.
Hot water?
Oh no, he came back yesterday, took his medicine, and went to sleep. This morning he was busy cleaning, so he didn't even have time to eat, let alone get hot water.
"I...I..."
Seeing his hesitant manner, Yao Hua knew there was definitely no hot water.
"I'll go boil some water. Judging from your appearance, you probably haven't had breakfast yet."
Yao Hua sighed, "I've made some chicken soup downstairs. I'll go boil some water first, and then I'll make you some chicken soup and vegetable noodles with the chicken soup. It'll be quick."
The upstairs and downstairs houses have the same structure, so Yao Hua didn't need to ask to know where Commissar Yu's kitchen was.
When Yao Hua opened the kitchen door, she was stunned by what she saw inside.
She knew that Commissar Yu didn't cook, so he didn't have any cooking utensils at home. That's why she stewed the chicken at Yueyue's house, but she didn't expect that his house didn't even have a kettle to boil water.
The kitchen is probably as clean as the floors outside.
"Flower..."
Commissar Yu sat awkwardly on the sofa. It was only when Yao Hua walked to the kitchen door that he suddenly remembered that his kettle had been borrowed by someone before he went on his mission. He had returned late last night and hadn't had time to ask for it back.
"Um... the kettle was borrowed."
Yao Hua looked at him and sighed helplessly.
"I'll go downstairs and bring you a kettle of hot water."
Do all men live such rough lives?
...
The Jiang family.
Jiang Yue finished washing up and went downstairs when she saw Lu Jingnian returning from outside.
He was also carrying a snack and a breakfast, which were Jiang Yue's favorite crab roe buns and white fungus and lotus seed soup.
"woke up?"
Upon seeing Jiang Yue, Lu Jingnian immediately picked up the things in his hands and quickly walked towards her.
"Why did you wake up so early?"
I thought you'd take a little longer to sleep!
Jiang Yue was still a little upset because of what happened last night. This man forced her to say a lot of shameful things last night, and Jiang Yue was so angry that she cried.
