Yun Qiao nodded and politely called him, "Uncle Liang."
"Why are you alone?" Commander Liang asked with concern, "Where are the others?"
Yun Qiao raised the things in his hand and explained, "My mother is still waiting in line at the meat department to buy meat. I'm going to send the things to the truck first, otherwise I won't take them."
As they spoke, the rear window of the jeep rolled down, and Cui Xuezhi's large face peeked out, smiling warmly. "What a coincidence, Comrade Yun Qiao! You've bought so much stuff! It's so heavy, it's a whole bag, it looks heavy."
Facing Cui Xuezhi, Yun Qiao's attitude suddenly turned cold, but in front of Commander Liang, she did not get angry with Cui Xuezhi. She replied indifferently, "It's quite a coincidence."
Cui Xuezhi's eyes fell on the net bag in Yun Qiao's hand and invited her, "You must be tired carrying so many things by yourself. Do you want to get in the car? We'll give you a ride."
She spoke in a teasing voice, which seemed like an invitation, but in fact she was showing her superiority to Yun Qiao.
Look, I have a car to ride in, but you can only carry heavy things and walk on foot.
It was a childish trick, but any woman could understand her subtext, and it could only fool men with low emotional intelligence. So not only Yun Qiao could see it, Yan Jingwan also knew it.
Yun Qiao took a step back and declined: "No, thank you."
Seeing this, Cui Xuezhi smiled and said, "Well, Comrade Yun Qiao, I'm sorry that you don't have the chance to hitchhike..."
Yan Jingwan suddenly said, "Come up."
Yun Qiao was stunned for a moment.
Yan Jingwan continued, "When we came here, we saw the army had parked at a checkpoint. It was quite far away. If you were to pass by so quickly, it would take at least ten minutes to find a place. So, you should get in the car. There's a seat in the back row."
After Yan Jingwan finished speaking, she gave Yun Qiao a kind smile.
Commander Liang also said: "Jingwan is right. The military truck stop is far away, and it's really too tiring for you to carry so many things all the way there. You should get in the car and we will give you a ride."
Not only did Yan Jingwan show her goodwill, but even Commander Liang took the initiative to invite her in the car. Yun Qiao did not refuse and smiled and said, "Thank you."
Commander Liang smiled, and Guard Xiao Hai smiled brightly: "Comrade, you are very polite. We just happened to be on our way."
Yun Qiao opened the back door of the jeep, put the things in his hand on the empty space under the seat, then reached out and grabbed the armrest above the door, stepped hard on the pedal, and jumped into the car.
Yun Qiao had brought a lot of stuff with her, and once they got on, the car suddenly felt cramped. Yan Jingwan moved to the side, hoping to give her a little more space, but the moment she moved, she injured her foot.
She hissed softly in pain, her delicate brows slightly wrinkled.
As a doctor, Yun Qiao was sensitive to the pain in Yan Jingwan's voice and asked quickly, "Comrade Yan, what's wrong with you? Are you injured?"
Yan Jingwan hummed and said, "I accidentally sprained my ankle earlier."
"Is it serious?" Yun Qiao asked her concernedly, "Do you want me to take a look at it? I'm the company's medical officer, and I can also treat some injuries."
"Yun Qiao, thank you for your kindness, but it's not necessary." Yan Jingwan still shook her head: "I'm fine, I can just rub it with medicinal wine and it will be fine."
"What do you mean it's okay? You couldn't even walk just now."
Cui Xuezhi immediately put her on the spot and said in a worried tone, "Sister Jingwan, please listen to my advice. You're already injured, so forget about the New Year performance. Your top priority right now is to heal your injury to avoid any sequelae. Your feet are for dancing, and if you do get any sequelae, it'll be too late to regret it."
"Look at what you said, it's not that serious." Yan Jingwan smiled and said, "I know my ankle is fine. It's just a slight sprain. I can rub it with medicinal wine and it will be fine. It won't affect my performance the day after tomorrow."
"Look at you, still so stubborn!" Cui Xuezhi looked at Master Liang for help and sighed, "Uncle, Sister Jingwan is too stubborn. You should try to persuade her. Performances or not, what's more important than good health?"
Teacher Liang said with concern, "Jingwan, Xuezhi has a point. Performances happen all the time, but once your health is damaged, it's damaged. It's too late to regret and try to remedy it later. You have to put your health first, and don't harm yourself just to get angry."
"Yes, yes." Cui Xuezhi nodded vigorously, and couldn't wait to say, "Sister Jingwan, if you really can't let go of the burden and are worried that you won't be able to perform and that without a lead dancer, the show everyone has practiced so hard for will be ruined, can't you just find someone to take your place?"
"You can recover from your injury, and everyone can perform the show they've worked so hard on. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"
