"Okay, okay, eat up, eat quickly, there's plenty."
"That's more like it."
Qin Qinghuai took some time to visit his wife, only to find two women each holding a pig's trotter and gnawing on it as soon as he entered the door—a truly spectacular sight. Even he was momentarily stunned.
"Isn't this a bit... inappropriate?"
She paused for a moment, and the pig's trotter in her hand no longer tasted good. It seemed so. While others were fighting for their lives outside, these people were eating and drinking like this. It was a bit disrespectful.
"You're giving us special treatment, but you're not including us?"
Qin Yinzhu didn't pause at all.
"Don't accuse someone wrongly. Who got special treatment?"
We all eat meat, it's not like we didn't cook it for you. We just picked out the cuts we liked; it's to replenish our energy, okay? Otherwise, how can we keep working?"
Qin Qinghuai was just joking. He had been eating the same meals as the soldiers for the past few days, so how could he not know?

"What are you saying? Putting aside our camaraderie, we're all surnamed Qin, and who knows how many generations back we've been family. Don't you have any trust left?"
Having grown accustomed to Jian Dan's way of speaking, Qin Yinzhu had picked up quite a bit of his style and manner of speaking. She gave him several strange looks before finally pursing her lips.
"Could you please speak properly? I'm not used to you acting like this."
"Hey? Doctor Qin, isn't that a bit unfair to everyone?"
Qin Yinzhu nodded solemnly.
"Yeah, yeah, you just realized that?"
After commotion for a while, Qin Qinghuai carefully inquired about the wounded's condition and began to plan the next steps.
"Would moving them down the mountain worsen their injuries?"
