Du Yuhan shook her head. Why was she thinking about these things? Anyway, it had nothing to do with her.
All she had to do was to improve Han Yixian's health and cure his leg; that would be enough to repay her debt of gratitude and allow her to retire gracefully.
Seeing that the logistics department of the sanatorium should be open for work, Liu Gang went to find Director Yao, who was in charge of logistics.
Upon entering the logistics department of the sanatorium, Liu Gang went to Director Yao's office and knocked on the door. There was indeed someone there.
As soon as he entered, Liu Gang said, "Director Yao, has our logistics department been buying cabbages lately? Could you help us pick some up?"
Upon seeing Liu Gang, Yao Jingsong asked, "Little Liu, how has your regimental commander been these past few days?"
Liu Gang said happily, "These past few days have been great. The regimental commander's aunt, Director Han, found him a caregiver. Although she's a bit short, she's very hardworking and an excellent cook. The regimental commander finally doesn't have to eat my terrible cooking anymore. He's been eating more these past few days."
Yao Jingsong was delighted to hear this, "That's wonderful! I was just worried about your regimental commander's health."
Then Yao Jingsong asked curiously, "Didn't your commander chase the people away this time?"
Liu Gang replied, "The regimental commander took pity on this little girl and kept her."
Yao Jingsong had been quite busy at the beginning of the month and hadn't had a chance to visit Han Yixian. He was delighted to hear from Liu Gang that Han Yixian had left behind a caregiver that Han Xiuqin had found for him. He was even happier to hear that the caregiver was an excellent cook and very diligent.
Liu Gang also mentioned the construction of the toilets, saying, "Now it will be much more convenient for the regimental commander to use the toilet and take a shower."
Yao Jingsong said happily, "That little girl has changed so much in just a few days, that's really impressive. By the way, what's her name, and how old is she?"
Liu Gang replied, "Her name is Du Yuhan. She's fifteen this year, but she looks like a child. Apparently, she's malnourished because she's been starving at home for a long time. But Du Yuhan's cooking is really delicious."
Yao Jingsong said with interest, "Then I'll have to go take a look another day, and bring you some vegetables while I'm at it. Don't worry about buying the cabbage, I'll take care of that."
Yao Jingsong used to be a bodyguard under Han Xiao, Han Yixian's father, and had been through thick and thin with Han Xiao.
A few years ago, he was wounded on the battlefield, and Han Xiao asked someone to arrange for him to work in the logistics department of the veterans' retirement home in Yao Jingsong's hometown.
This retirement home is designed for military officers to recuperate. The military has a much better supply of materials than civilian areas, so Yao Jingsong's position as the logistics director of the retirement home is a very desirable one.
Moreover, Han Xiuqin's family is here to take care of him, and Han Xiao has considered everything for Yao Jingsong.
Yao Jingsong was deeply grateful to his elder brother Han Xiao, so when he learned that Han Yi was coming to D province, he discussed with Yuan Fengshan about buying the small courtyard not far from the retirement home.
First, the courtyard is in a quiet and secluded environment, free from disturbance. Second, the courtyard is very close to the retirement home, making it convenient for him to take care of the residents.
Although Han Yixian's aunt's family is here, so Han Yixian won't suffer any grievances, he still wants to do his part.
Han Yixian can be said to have been raised by Yao Jingsong, and Yao Jingsong's feelings for Han Yixian are beyond what most people can compare to.
Yao Jingsong felt deeply saddened to see Han Yixian, once a prodigy, now confined to a wheelchair and unable to move freely. Later, upon hearing about the actions of Han Yixian's mother, Zeng Yufen, he felt even more heartbroken for Han Yixian and utterly disgusted by Zeng Yufen's behavior.
If Zeng Yufen hadn't schemed against her, how could someone from a humble background have married into a prominent family? That's why the old master of the Han family has always looked down on Zeng Yufen.
If it weren't for the fact that Zeng Yufen gave birth to a son for the Han family, and that she produced such a talented individual as Han Yixian, Old Master Han wouldn't have even given Zeng Yufen a second glance.
Before, with the old master keeping Zeng Yufen in check, she could restrain herself somewhat. But now that the old master Han has passed away, Zeng Yufen has become unruly, and her vanity and snobbishness have been revealed.
This incident, where Han Yixian was injured and disabled, made Zeng Yufen's true character even clearer. She was worse than a stranger to him, deliberately stabbing Han Yixian in the heart. Thinking of Zeng Yufen's actions, Yao Jingsong felt a burning hatred.
Now that Han Yixian has arrived in his territory, he naturally has to take good care of him.
Even if Liu Gang hadn't come to see him today, he was still planning to send some vegetables to Han Yixian.
Liu Gang didn't linger at the retirement home; he had to go shopping with Du Yuhan.
Du Yuhan has never gone shopping before, so he has to keep a close eye on her.
Seeing that Liu Gang would soon return on his bicycle, Du Yuhan quickly tidied herself up, greeted Han Yixian, and sat on the back of the bicycle as Liu Gang led her towards the city.
Du Yuhan had already seen the bicycle in the side room. It was obviously brand new, shiny and bright, and Liu Gang had been very careful when using it.
Liu Gang really cherished this bicycle. Although he had learned to drive from the regimental commander, he usually didn't get to drive the car. The regimental commander used to have his own bodyguards, and he usually drove himself, so he didn't need them at all.
But this bicycle was clearly bought for him. The regimental commander doesn't need it. Even the new young girl can't ride this big 28-inch bicycle. She's too short and probably can't even reach the pedals.
Sitting on the back of the bicycle, Du Yuhan was unaware that Liu Gang was secretly criticizing her for being short; otherwise, she would have definitely given Liu Gang a good beating.
Du Yuhan was sitting in the back seat of the car, enjoying the scenery along the way.
The city they were in was Luancheng in D province. The headquarters of the *th Army under the D province military region was stationed here, and Yuan Fengshan was the commander of the *th Army.
Luancheng has a great geographical location. Although it is not directly on the coast, it is very close to the sea, and you can often eat all kinds of seafood here.
Spring has arrived, the weather is gradually warming up, the trees are already showing some green, and soon new leaves will sprout.
Liu Gang rode his bicycle with Du Yuhan to Luancheng Department Store.
At that time, Luancheng was not a very large city; it was a prefecture-level city with only one department store.
Because of the military presence here, soldiers and their families constitute a significant consumer group, so public facilities such as shops, grain stations, post offices, and banks are relatively complete. Most common items can be purchased in Luancheng.
Liu Gang first led Du Yuhan into the department store to see what they wanted to buy.
Du Yuhan counted the coupons and money in her hand, and decided to buy all the cloth coupons first, looking at the items in the department store counter.
Du Yuhan didn't buy any high-end fabrics like wool; instead, she bought several pieces of cotton cloth and work cloth, as well as a piece each of corduroy and velvet. She used up all her fabric ration coupons.
She planned to make herself two shirts, one jacket, and two pairs of pants. Han Yixian and Liu Gang already had military jackets, so she didn't need to prepare any; she planned to make one shirt for each of them first.
