Chapter 491 She wouldn't even dare to dream of it



Mibao said, "Okay, I'm going right now!"

It put on the skin of a little bird, flapped its tiny wings, and flew to find Li Jiuqing.

Li Jiuqing also lived in a tent, which had windows that looked like curtains.

Roll up the curtains when ventilation is needed during the day.

Honey easily flew in through the window.

At this moment, Li Jiuqing was packing his luggage. This tent was a double tent with two cots and two boxes next to the cots.

Li Jiuqing put all her belongings into a box.

Clearly, the conditions here were far too harsh, far beyond her imagination. Even the lunch that the young comrade brought back for her was hard for her to swallow!

What are all these things?

Boiled potatoes, carrots, and wild vegetables; the staple food was cornbread—there was nothing she could eat!

She took a bite of the cornbread she had never eaten before, and found its rough texture difficult to swallow.

To be honest, she has never eaten this stuff since she was born!

She threw the cornbread on the ground with disgust, but the next second she realized her mistake, so she quickly picked it up, wiped it clean with her hands, and put it back in the bowl.

She can't eat this, so she can give it to someone else.

With food conditions like these, the people here probably have trouble even getting enough to eat!

She can use the food she doesn't eat to do favors, give it to others, and incidentally win over a few loyal followers who will work for her!

She shared a room with a female nurse...

The female nurse is in the emergency tent every day and rarely has time to come back.

After all, her job was extremely busy; she was always on the go, constantly taking care of each wounded person.

The young nurse had finally finished her work and, having been sleep-deprived for days, couldn't hold on any longer, so she went back to her tent to sleep.

When she returned, she saw a woman she didn't recognize.

The two introduced themselves to each other warmly. When the nurse heard that Li Jiuqing had returned from overseas, she looked at him with great admiration.

Everyone knows that living conditions abroad are far superior to those in China these days, yet these people still give up the comforts abroad and return to China to endure hardship. What does that say?!

It shows that he/she loves his/her country! It also shows that he/she has high moral character and noble sentiments!

Li Jiuqing successfully inquired about things in the military camp from the nurse, and handed her the food she hadn't eaten to the nurse.

The young nurse usually didn't get enough to eat, so when she suddenly received an extra serving of food, she said apologetically, "I've already eaten. This is your food, please eat it!"

Li Jiuqing said, "I ate on the way here, so I'm not hungry at all. Don't waste this food! You eat it!"

The young nurse happily took the food bowl and ate the food inside with gusto.

The food lacked salt and oil, so it wasn't filling at all; I got hungry again after eating for a short while.

She wolfed down all of Li Jiuqing's food.

Li Jiuqing took out a few pieces of candy from her backpack and handed them to the nurse, saying, "These are candies I brought from abroad. I don't know if you like them, but I think they're quite delicious!"

The nurse picked up a small square piece and examined it. The piece was wrapped in silver foil and covered with red paper.

She had never seen candy like this before!

She asked, "What kind of candy is this? I've never eaten this kind of candy before?"

Li Jiuqing said, "This kind of candy is called chocolate."

Hearing a name she'd never heard before, the young nurse asked, "What's that? What kind of force?"

Li Jiuqing said, "Chocolate is made from ground chocolate chips. This kind of candy is very common abroad. Surely we have it in China too?"

The young man said, "Maybe, but I've never eaten it before?"

She couldn't resist peeling off the foil, breaking off a small piece, and putting it in her mouth.

The taste was strange; it was quite sweet, but it had a flavor she had never tasted before…

Is this what foreign food tastes like?

She smiled and said to Li Jiuqing, "Do you eat this abroad? The candy we have in China is mostly in the form of sugar cubes."

Li Jiuqing said, "Perhaps it's because there are no cocoa trees in China; these trees are only found abroad."

The nurse said, "I've heard that conditions are very good abroad. Can you tell me about it? What's it like abroad?"

Li Jiuqing said, "The conditions abroad are indeed much better than here. Everyone lives in villas abroad, and you can earn more in a month abroad than you can in 10 years in China."

In other countries, every household has a flush toilet, a telephone, and a car. Even the most ordinary families have these things.

Oh, and another thing is, you can eat meat at every meal abroad. Vegetables are more expensive than meat, while meat is cheaper.

The nurse was stunned. She said incredulously, "Are people so rich abroad? Does every household have a telephone and a car? I heard that cars are very expensive in China, costing tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan?"

God knows that tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan is an astronomical figure for them.

Because in those days, each person only earned forty or fifty yuan a month, and only a few hundred yuan a year. Tens of thousands or two hundred thousand yuan was an astronomical figure that they could never save in their entire lives.

How wealthy are people in other countries?

At this moment, the young nurse couldn't believe it, because this understanding was beyond her comprehension...

Li Jiuqing said, "Cars from abroad are cheaper, costing only tens of thousands of yuan. Domestically produced cars have limited production capacity and high costs, which is why people can't afford them."

The nurse sighed and said, "Even if it costs tens of thousands of yuan, we still can't afford it. How wealthy would a family have to be to afford that kind of money?"

Li Jiuqing said, "You don't need to be rich; an ordinary person can afford it."

The nurse said, "It's a pity I wasn't born abroad. I hope I can go abroad and see what developed countries are like in the future."

Li Jiuqing's eyes flashed as she said, "You want to go abroad? That's easy! I'll take you abroad someday!"

The young nurse looked at Li Jiuqing with surprise and said, "You'll take me abroad in the future? Really?"

Li Jiuqing said, "Of course it's true! I consider you a good sister, and I'll definitely take you with me when I go back to China!"

The young nurse's joy was beyond words; it was something she had never dared to imagine!

At that moment, she felt that meeting Li Jiuqing was the greatest blessing of her life!

Her family's ancestral graves must be emitting auspicious smoke!

Mi Bao said in the space, "This is bad! Li Jiuqing is trying to win over the little nurse, and I think she's going to fall for it!"

Li Xiyue said, "Keep an eye on her, and once we get the evidence, we'll expose her! Traitors and spies never have a good ending!"

Honey nodded and said, "That's right! Traitors and spies never have a good ending!"

Li Xiyue pushed open the door and walked into Mu Cangnan's office.

Zhang Ziqiang's face flushed red again...
