Chapter 71 I won't come back tonight

The food in the military canteens in the past was not bad. The advantage was that the prices were affordable and many single soldiers were willing to eat there. Soldiers whose wives accompanied them usually cooked for themselves at home.

But now.

The cafeteria is cheap and the food tastes good, so everyone is willing to eat there or take some food home.

Wen Ci came to the window and saw pork stewed with vermicelli. He blinked and said, "I want one portion of pork stewed with vermicelli, and help me get a bowl of rice."

After saying that, she handed the money into the box next to her.

A few years ago, the Northwest Military Region needed to exchange food coupons and meat coupons for meals. In recent years, the Northwest has developed rapidly and those coupons are no longer needed.

Wen Ci found an empty seat and sat down. Before she could take her first bite, Xue Li sat across from her and said with a sincere smile, "Sister-in-law, Brother Huo asked me to tell you that he might not be back tonight."

"Not coming back again?" Wen Ci lowered his eyelids slightly and asked slowly, "He's out on a mission?"

Xue Li nodded.

He couldn't tell his sister-in-law what the specific mission was, but he revealed that Brother Huo was allowed to go out on a mission and not go home, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, if you need any help, just let me know!"

“Yes.”

She wanted to know approximately what time the bus would be available. The head nurse had come to remind her during the day and said that rehearsal would be held next Friday.

During rehearsal, they have to wear long sleeves and dance.

The superiors attached great importance to this military art tour. There were no military family members accompanying the troops in last year's tour. This time, the family quarters of the Northwest Military Region were built and welcomed the first batch of family members.

"What is it?"

Wen Ci asked: "Do you know when the road will be open?"

"This..." Xue Li shook his head. His position was not enough to know the specific time when the road would be opened to traffic. It would not be open to traffic for at least half a month.

Xue Li looked around, leaned over the table, lowered his voice, and said, "The military art tour will start soon, and art soldiers from other military regions will come. We must ensure safety. This line will not be opened until the tour is over."

Hearing this, Wen Ci's eyes widened.

Is the situation so serious? It actually took a month.

"How do people go in and out of the cafeteria to buy food?"

"Whether it's the wives of the soldiers coming or the canteen providing food, they are all picked up and dropped off by the military vehicle department."

Wen Ci was about to say something when she saw Yu Qing looking around at the door as if looking for someone. She stood up and waved at Yu Qing.

After a while, Wen Ci came to Wen Ci, looking a little anxious: "Wen Ci, the head nurse just informed me that the Northwest Military Region cannot leave at will in the near future. What should we do with our water sleeve dance clothes?"

Wen Ci already knew about this through Xue Li, and tilted his head to think about what to wear for the performance.

"Can I borrow it?"

Xue Li closed his eyes and carefully recalled that there seemed to be female soldiers wearing long robes with water sleeves during the art tour last year. Then he opened his eyes, "They had a set of white long robes with water sleeves."

Wen Ci: "White...white?"

It was hard for her to imagine what it would look like to wear a white robe with long sleeves...

Wen Ci took a long breath, hoping that the clothes would have some patterns or embroidery, otherwise it would look weird: "I can only borrow the clothes of the literary female soldiers."

After saying that, she looked at Yu Qing and asked, "Have you eaten yet? Or how about eating in our cafeteria? The chef is Sister Zhu Jing, whom I mentioned to you."

Yu Qing said with embarrassment: "I didn't bring any money..."

Doctors eat for free in the hospital cafeteria. She usually sends her salary back to her hometown in the countryside, leaving only a little spare money in the dormitory for emergencies.
