After the call ended, Yingying's face was full of worry, and things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
"Mom, don't be sad!"
The little boy's sudden words of comfort brought Ye Wanying back to her senses: "Okay, Mommy isn't sad."
.........
It had been almost a week since they were discharged from the hospital, and the next day happened to be the weekend. That night, as they were lying in bed getting ready to sleep, the couple discussed it and finally decided to hold the dinner party the following night!
Fortunately, everyone can avoid working overtime tomorrow night.
The next day.
Before dawn, Gao Dan had already taken the menu that his wife had prepared in advance to the cooking team.
A few "papa" sounds...
A basket of washed chopsticks fell to the ground, the sound unusually clear in the quiet cafeteria.
"Commander...?"
The young soldier was almost in tears.
Dropping a basket of chopsticks on the ground in front of the teacher is clearly telling the teacher that you are not capable enough.
But how could people not be surprised if such an important person suddenly appeared in the cafeteria so early in the morning?
I was terrified.
The foreman in the kitchen heard the commotion and came out. His eyes widened when he saw Gao Dan, then he realized what was happening.
"Commander, do you want to get your food? The porridge is still cooking, it'll be ready in ten minutes."
The young soldier had already picked up all the chopsticks scattered on the ground, but he was still a little scared.
The old squad leader frowned and urged, "Aren't you going to wash up? You're so sloppy. After you're done, you'll have to run twenty laps."
"Yes, squad leader!"
Running laps is fine, at least I can finally leave.
After the young soldiers from the cookhouse left, the old sergeant took out a pack of cigarettes from his breast pocket, pulled one out, and offered it to the man in front of him: "Commander, have one."
Gao Dan didn't refuse. After taking it, the two sat on the stools behind them and asked, "Hasn't your purchasing vehicle set off yet?"
The old squad leader shook his head: "No, I haven't had breakfast yet."
"Please bring some things back for me, thanks." He handed the menu that had been prepared earlier to the old squad leader.
After taking it, the old squad leader quickly glanced at it and laughed loudly, saying, "Such a small matter could have been handled by having the guard come and tell us. You came all the way here in person, which really scared the soldiers in our cooking squad."
"By the way."
Fine, whatever, it's fine if it's just a side trip. You're the division commander, so you get to decide.
After the two finished their cigarettes, the porridge was almost ready. The old squad leader personally filled two buckets with a bucket of plain porridge, four eggs, steamed buns, and a small bowl of pickled vegetables.
After Gao Dan left, a soldier in the mess hall noticed a fifty-yuan bill and five ten-yuan bills, totaling one hundred yuan, that were pressed down on the table with a lighter.
The old squad leader had no choice but to accept the money and give the menu to the people who were going out to shop that day.
In the military, when superiors ask the mess hall to bring food, they often only provide the menu and don't give them any money. Everyone understands the reason behind this.
Only the division commander and his wife, whenever they asked someone to bring them something, always paid them well in advance, plus a small tip (some snacks, fruit, etc.).
Therefore, people really cannot be compared.
No wonder the entire division was united as one, obeying only the division commander's orders.
...........
When they returned with the prepared food, it was clear that the mother and son were still asleep. They ate breakfast quietly, kept the leftover food warm in the pot, and then took their things out.
