The voices from the west room could be faintly heard. Jian Dan was indeed a little tired, so she quickly washed up and left it at that. By the time Qin Qinghuai returned, Jian Dan was already fast asleep.
The next day was a sunny day. The couple, Jian and Qin Yi, who had stayed overnight, had breakfast, tidied up a bit, and then left home.
The team that had been reassigned yesterday was already waiting at the foot of the mountain. As soon as they saw a few people coming, all eyes turned to them.
Only a few people knew that Jian could hunt wild boars; most people thought it was a rumor. Some people talked about it, some listened, but no one believed it. Right now, some people were indeed wondering about it, but no one actually asked.
There was no official purpose for the trip up the mountain, and the soldiers assumed it was just a simple patrol. Families often came up the mountain, so they weren't surprised. Given past instances of donating food, everyone had a good impression of Jian Dan and greeted him warmly.
"sister in law!"
"sister in law!"
"Sister-in-law, are you going up the mountain too?"
"Sister-in-law, it's cold today. Are you going to gather firewood? You don't need to go. We'll gather some for you on the way."
Everyone in the camp knew that Political Commissar Qin was a figurehead, and it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't have enough firewood at home.
However, Jian Dan didn't want people to think of her man that way, so she laughed generously.
"It's alright, it's alright. We've been here for so long, I also want to go up the mountain and take a look. I won't delay you from doing your business."
Qin Yi wanted to say something, but seeing that Jian Dan didn't argue, he thought about it and shut up. However, he made up his mind that he must stay by his sister-in-law's side today and see how she would slap those people in the face.
Today, Regiment Commander Lin wasn't with us. The team was led by a battalion commander, the same Battalion Commander Xu Qin Qinghuai mentioned yesterday—the one who would rather his family go hungry than complain to the organization. He was a ruddy-faced man, a true Northeasterner.
"Political Commissar, sister-in-law, thank you so much for your generosity. That grain truly saved my family's lives,"
Qin Qinghuai whispered a reminder,
"This is Battalion Commander Xu, the one I mentioned yesterday, whose family is almost starving to death."
Simple couldn't stand this kind of scene, so she quickly waved her hand.
“You, Battalion Commander Xu, you don’t need to do this. I am a military family member. My father was a martyr, and my uncles and brothers are all soldiers. I only have respect for you. I am very happy to be able to do my part in your time of crisis. I believe my father would be proud of me if he knew in the afterlife.”
