"Oh, Captain, we have limited accommodation here. Doctor Ma doesn't have a room yet, and it's too late to prepare one for her today. How about letting her stay in the family compound and find a place to stay for the night?"
A battalion commander suddenly thought of this matter and reported it to Jiang Ling, blaming him for not making arrangements in advance.
Jiang Ling heard this and said, "No need, just let her stay at my place."
As the regiment commander, Jiang Ling was allocated an apartment in the family compound by the army for his marriage.
After all, he is not young anymore, and the leaders of the army are worried about him and have introduced many candidates to him.
But Jiang Ling never cared about finding a partner, so the room remained empty.
He only goes back to the family compound occasionally and usually lives in the office.
"This...this is not good, right?" The battalion commander said hesitantly after hearing this.
"She's an unmarried girl. Do you want her to live in someone else's house and cause gossip? No one lives in my place anyway, so there's nothing wrong with arranging it this way." Jiang Ling continued to say to him.
Seeing that their regimental commander said so, the battalion commander had no choice but to do it.
On this side, Ma Xiao'e was preparing to go back to get her lunch box to go to the cafeteria, but she couldn't find her lunch box after searching in her backpack for a long time.
She was sure the lunch box was there when she put her luggage down, but now it was gone.
That means someone touched her luggage and took away her lunch box, deliberately targeting her.
Fortunately, she had all her money with her, so she could only go to the supply and marketing cooperative in town to buy a lunch box.
By the time she got to the cafeteria, the food was gone.
When Ma Xiao'e saw this, her expression changed slightly.
At this time, Du Mengyuan and other people from the military hospital were already sitting at their seats eating. When they saw Ma Xiaoe come in, they all showed disdainful expressions.
"Don't think that saving Captain Jiang will give her special treatment in the army. Does she really think she's a piece of cake and wants to see whether Captain Jiang will pay any attention to her?"
"Exactly. What if she doesn't have a lunch box? I heard she doesn't have a place to stay at night. She deserves it."
"Who made her steal Yuanyuan's limelight? Yuanyuan is obviously the only one who knows Captain Jiang. Who does she think she is? She doesn't really think Captain Jiang would be interested in someone like her, right?"
When the people around Du Mengyuan saw this, they started talking about it in order to curry favor with her.
"Okay, you are all boring. How could Brother Jiang like her?" Du Mengyuan said with a cold snort.
This time she came here not only to give physical examinations to the soldiers, but also to find a match for her cousin.
Her cousin is also a doctor in the military hospital, but she has something urgent to do and can only come tomorrow.
My cousin has liked Jiang Ling for several years and came here for him this time.
Their family and the Jiang family are a perfect match. My cousin is so outstanding that she and Jiang Ling are a perfect match made in heaven.
"Master, do you have any steamed buns left? It's okay without any vegetables, just give me a steamed bun." Ma Xiao'e was so hungry that she felt dizzy and dazed. She walked over and asked the chef in the cafeteria.
"I'm sorry, girl. The portion of our food is a little small today. We really don't have any left." The canteen chef said with an embarrassed look on his face.
He originally thought that everyone had received their meals, but he didn't expect that Ma Xiao'e was left out?
Seeing this, Ma Xiaoe had to leave the cafeteria on an empty stomach.
At this time, the Second Battalion Commander saw Ma Xiao'e as soon as he arrived at the door, so he said to her, "Doctor Ma, I have moved your luggage to the family compound for you. There happens to be a room vacant there. You can stay there for the next few days. Just let me know if you need anything."
"Thank you." Seeing this, Ma Xiao'e said to the second battalion commander.
"By the way, do you have any place selling things here? Do you have instant noodles or something?"
Since there was no food in the cafeteria, she could only find a way to buy some herself.
Otherwise, how could she survive the long night on an empty stomach?
"Ah... do you want to buy something? This place is quite far from the town. Usually there are shops in the nearby villages. But now it's getting dark and you're not familiar with the roads here. It's easy to get lost if you go out. I'll have someone take you shopping tomorrow."
Their place is indeed quite remote, and no one is allowed to go out at night to prevent accidents.
Besides, not only military academy students but also doctors from the military hospital are here, so they have also strengthened their guard.
Seeing him say this, Ma Xiao'e had no choice but to give up.
Anyway, no one would starve to death in one night, so she thanked the second battalion commander and went to the family compound.
Jiang Ling originally wanted to look for Ma Xiao'e, but seeing that it was already late, he thought that she had just arrived today, so he let her have a good rest and would not disturb her.
As soon as he returned to the office, the second battalion commander came over.
"Commander, it seems that Doctor Ma didn't have dinner at night. She went there late and the meal was finished. She even asked me where to buy instant noodles?" The second battalion commander thought that the commander seemed to care so much about Doctor Ma, so he had to come over and tell him the news.
Sure enough, when Jiang Ling heard the words of the second battalion commander, his face changed immediately.
"You said she hasn't eaten yet?" Jiang Ling said, then hurriedly stood up and walked towards the door.
It was the first time that the second battalion commander saw their regimental commander look so anxious, and he followed him.
He originally thought that the team leader would go to the cafeteria, but he didn't expect him to go directly to the dormitory.
In the evening, everyone had just finished training and was preparing to wash up and rest, but they didn’t expect the team leader to come over suddenly?
So they were so scared that they hurried out and stood in a row at the door, saluting Jiang Ling.
"Captain."
Jiang Ling glanced at them, then ordered everyone, "I'll give you one minute. Everyone, hand over all the food you've hidden. Don't make me look for it myself."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They didn't know why the leader suddenly came to check the dormitory? And asked them to hand over all the snacks?
But they didn't have time to think about it, and soon everyone had to take out the food they had hidden for a long time and were reluctant to eat and handed it over.
There were bread, fruit candies, instant noodles, canned food, and some people even handed in their hidden cigarettes.
Seeing this, Jiang Ling took out a few packets of instant noodles and two cans of food, then asked them, "Whose are these? How much are they? Come to me tomorrow to pick them up."
Everyone: “…”
The Second Battalion Commander was stunned when he saw this scene. Why did their regimental commander suddenly go crazy?
Aren’t these things for Dr. Ma?
