Xiao Hu smiled shyly.
"Political Commissar, I'll be going now. Xiao An is in the clinic; I'll go check on her."
"Why did you go to the clinic? Is it that serious?"
"Uh, you can ask the commander for details tomorrow. Xiao An got caught in the rain and started having a fever yesterday. It's been fluctuating all day, which is why the commander couldn't wait for you here today."
"Does he have a fever?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Hu frowned. For the past six months, he had been watching over Xiao An every day, and it pained him to see her like this.
"Yes, the military doctor gave me antipyretics and some physical cooling methods, but the fever keeps recurring. Today, the military doctor called Dr. Tang and the garrison for help, saying that they were missing some medicine and that antipyretics alone were not enough."
Xiao An has been in a daze for the past two days and hasn't been able to eat anything. The regimental commander is so worried that he can't eat or sleep either.
"What medicine?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Dan immediately replied, "I don't know how to treat illnesses, but I do have some medicine in stock."
"Ask the military medical staff what medicine they have. I have some at home too. If it's useful, take it all over. Don't delay Xiao An."
Qin Qinghuai immediately spoke,
"I'll go with you. I'll also check on Xiao An. Once I find out what she needs, you can come over and find your sister-in-law. Let's go!"
"Brother Chao, you keep an eye on things here. Make them something to eat; you know where everything is."
"Alright, alright, let's go quickly. I'll go check on things once we're settled here."
Fearing that the three elderly people would feel uncomfortable, Cheng Chao followed without saying a word. With Qin Yi and Zheng Aiguo helping out, a pot of steaming noodles was quickly cooked.
The tomato soup base was topped with more than a dozen poached eggs, a handful of greens, chopped green onions and cilantro, and finally sprinkled with dried shrimp. Cheng Chao didn't miss almost any of the ingredients he saw. He brought out a big bowl full of ingredients, and everyone started to swallow their saliva.
Qin Yi and Zheng Aiguo were fine, but the three old men were quite uncomfortable.
Regardless of their family's past circumstances, given their current situation, this pot of noodles is a delicacy, eggs are rare, tomatoes and greens are not in season, and shrimp is even rarer in this inland city. Although there is no meat, this pot of food is still quite a feat.
"Come, come, professors, don't be shy. Dumplings on the way, noodles on the way back. We're home now. Come on, eat your fill, go back and get some rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Qin Yi also joined in the persuasion.
"Professor Wei, Aunt Zhu, Uncle Yu, this is our own territory, you don't need to worry about anything. Brother Huai and I are here, what else do you need to worry about?"
The leaders invited you here to work. From tomorrow onwards, we will rely on you. Use your expertise to help us build this land.
Besides, putting aside official business, is it really unreasonable for us juniors to treat you to a bowl of noodles?
"Right, sister-in-law? Company Commander Cheng?"
