Morning
He Beichen got up, heated up the leftover chicken soup from last night, and cooked some wontons in it for breakfast.
Li Xin discovered that his bowl was full of chicken, while He Beichen's bowl only had wontons.
"That's all you have. Is it enough?" Li Xin took a few pieces of chicken from his bowl and handed it to him.
He Beichen eats much more than her, but it looks like the amounts in their bowls are about the same.
"We've almost finished the wontons at home." He Beichen explained, worried that Li Xin wouldn't have enough to eat, and wanted to give the chicken in his bowl back to Li Xin.
Li Xin also picked up a few small wontons and then opened his bowl, not letting He Beichen take back the food he had just picked up.
She asked Sanmao to make the wontons before she went to the research institute. Although she made a lot of them at that time, it was normal to finish them after so much time had passed.
Sanmao is in the space, so it's easy for her to pack some more in the space. But now she and He Beichen go out and come back together every day, so how to take it out without arousing suspicion is more difficult...
"Well...how about making some more when I have some time to rest?" Li Xin said after thinking about it.
"The weather is hot, the dumplings won't last long, and you're very busy at the research institute right now." He Beichen didn't agree directly. He thought it would be fine to buy some and bring it back, so Li Xin wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to make them.
Li Xin nodded without saying anything more, worried that if He Beichen asked for help, it would be difficult to explain if she couldn't wrap it up.
"I have a day off next week. I'll take you around the city. You haven't been to the city since you came here." He Beichen thought about it and said again.
A lot of things happened after coming to the southern border. He Beichen was busy with the mission and had not had a vacation.
When Li Xin first arrived in the southern border, He Beichen said that he would take her to the city during his vacation, but it was kept on being put off until now.
"Okay!" Li Xin agreed happily.
She also wanted to go to the city and was a little curious about what the city looked like in this era.
…
Li Xin came to the research institute and was surprised to see a pile of materials in front of him.
“Why are there so many materials?”
What's more, what was piled up were not raw materials, but finished fiber fabrics, as well as some other fabrics used for bulletproof vests. In the previous research institute, everyone worked day and night for three or four days to produce enough for two bulletproof vests.
Now there are so many of them here at once, as if they appeared out of thin air. It is really surprising.
"Xiao Li, you're here? The bulletproof vest you improved this time has received unanimous praise from the superiors. We discussed it yesterday and asked the research institutes of several nearby military regions to help and work together to speed up the production. These materials were rushed overnight by the nearby military regions and delivered early in the morning. Probably... we can make four bulletproof vests." Du Peng came over immediately when he saw Li Xin and explained to Li Xin excitedly.
The military district attaches great importance to bulletproof vests. After confirming their practicality, they are eager to use them as soon as possible.
Moreover, Li Xin suggested to He Yubo last night that He Beichen should use it first on this mission. Unexpectedly, the order was issued so quickly without any delay.
If it were just their research institute, at the previous speed, they would only be able to produce twenty bulletproof vests in the month before the mission.
But now with the support of the nearby military research institute, this time can be greatly shortened.
"What are we waiting for? Let's get started!" A researcher who had just arrived became excited when he heard the news and couldn't wait to get started.
The research institute became busy again. Except for the researchers who were rushing to work on the materials, the rest of the researchers were making bulletproof vests together, and Li Xin was among them.
A morning passed in a flash. Seeing that it was almost lunch time, Li Xin went to wait outside the institute in advance. Recently, lunch at the institute was delivered by the logistics soldiers of the kitchen team and eaten at the institute.
Otherwise, a group of people who are obsessed with research will most likely forget to eat.
"Just give me the food, I'll carry it in." Li Xin didn't have to wait long before he saw the young soldier coming with a lunch box to deliver the meal.
There were not many people in the institute. There were only two young soldiers coming over. One of them was carrying two large lunch boxes, which looked very heavy.
The two young soldiers looked at Li Xin, who looked so thin, and were a little worried whether she could lift it. They looked hesitant and worried.
"Then let me get one for you?" Li Xin probably saw what they were thinking. After taking a look at the food box, he simply changed his words.
The food boxes looked too heavy, and it would be difficult for her to carry two at once.
She is really useless!
The two young soldiers still shook their heads and insisted on sending the food box to the research institute. One of the young soldiers was carefully peeking at Li Xin the whole time. His movements were so small that one would not notice it if one was not careful.
"Thank you, you've worked hard." Li Xin saw them putting down their things and about to leave, and even felt a little embarrassed. He smiled and thanked them both.
When Li Xin smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and she looked very beautiful. The two young soldiers were not very old, and they looked at her smile in a daze, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. This meal is for you. Eat from here." The little soldier who had been secretly watching Li Xin pointed to one of the lunch boxes and told her to eat from this one, not knowing if it made any difference.
"Okay." Li Xin raised his eyebrows when he heard that, glanced at the lunch box that the young soldier pointed at, and then nodded.
Li Xin sent everyone out of the institute and called the busy researchers one by one. After much persuasion and dragging, he finally got them all to come out for dinner.
…
The two young soldiers who came out of the research institute stopped and started talking about Li Xin before they had even walked far.
"That one just now, is that Deputy Regiment Commander He's wife? She is really beautiful, the rumors are true." He had been secretly glancing at the young soldier and couldn't help but say to the person beside him, with an amazed look still on his face.
"That's right. It looks like it's malnourished and could be blown away by the wind at any time." Another young soldier nodded in agreement.
"Hehe, so I just pointed out a box with more food to my sister-in-law." The peeking little soldier scratched the back of his head and laughed twice.
