Chapter 42 Someone Wants to Kill Xia Fanxing
Su Weiguo was terrified and hurriedly covered Su Xiuxiu's mouth, while looking around to see if anyone had heard her outrageous words.
"Who taught you that? Don't talk nonsense like that again!" Su Weiguo scolded his sister in a low voice.
Su Xiuxiu smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into crescent moons; she was incredibly cute.
Su Weiguo walked out of the ward and closed the door.
As soon as he turned around, he bumped into Qiao Feitian, who was waiting for him to come out.
Su Weiguo was a little frightened. He nodded slightly to Qiao Feitian and then tried to leave.
"Comrade, are you Comrade Su Xiuxiu's brother?" Qiao Feitian asked.
Su Weiguo turned to look at her. "I am, and you are?"
"I'm Comrade Xia Fanxing's good friend." Qiao Feitian lied without batting an eye. "Your sister was lucky to have Comrade Xia's first aid, so I think you should go and thank Comrade Xia, right?"
Su Weiguo nodded, "Yes, I was just about to go."
He was delighted. "Since you're Comrade Xia's good friend, you must know what she likes?"
Qiao Feitian gave an irrelevant answer: "The bond between the military and the people is like fish and water; ordinary gifts are insufficient to express our gratitude. Since you are a soldier, you'd better send something different, like—"
Su Weiguo was completely drawn into Qiao Feitian's rhythm of speech and hurriedly asked, "For example what?"
Qiao Feitian's face was hidden in the dim light, and her smile seemed to have become distorted.
She said, "For example, military receipts issued by the army. Judging from your appearance, you must be a new recruit who hasn't been in the army for many years. You don't know how rare military receipts are outside. Military receipts are both practical and can show your identity; they are the best thank-you gift!"
Su Weiguo pondered these words for a while and found them to be very reasonable.
"Thank you for your idea. I'll go back and get the receipts now. I still don't know your name."
Seeing that Su Weiguo had taken the bait, Qiao Feitian immediately turned around and left, saying righteously, "It's nothing, you don't need to worry about me. It's most important to thank Comrade Xia properly."
Su Weiguo went back to his unit and retrieved several military receipts.
There were meat coupons, grain coupons, cloth coupons, and sugar coupons.
To be honest, he felt quite heartbroken to give away these receipts that he had painstakingly saved up.
But this wasn't just any "other person"; this was the person who saved her sister's life.
To be honest, these few receipts are actually quite few!
Su Weiguo made up his mind, carefully put the receipt into his pocket, and walked all the way to the agricultural company to find Xia Fanxing.
Xia Fanxing is treating the wounds of a female educated youth.
After she finished dealing with the situation and rushed out, she found a young man in military uniform standing opposite her, whose features resembled those of another person.
"Are you Xiuxiu's brother?" Xia Fanxing guessed.
“Yes.” Su Weiguo smiled and scratched his head. “It seems Xiuxiu was right. Comrade Xia, you are a very smart and capable person.”
After a brief self-introduction, Su Weiguo explained his purpose.
"Comrade Xia, I really don't know how to thank you. Please accept these receipts." He presented the receipts with both hands, very sincerely.
Xia Fanxing glanced at the receipts and instinctively felt that she couldn't accept them.
But before she could even refuse, Su Weiguo shoved several receipts into her pocket, as if he knew she wouldn't take them.
As Su Weiguo ran, he shouted, "Comrade Xia, thank you for taking care of my sister. Please continue to look after her in the future!"
As a young soldier, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xia Fanxing took out the receipts and looked at them, then sighed helplessly.
She felt something was off.
It's not that Su Weiguo is acting strangely, but rather these military receipts.
How can military equipment be given to ordinary civilians?
There must be some explanation behind it.
Xia Fanxing thought for a moment and then put these military receipts into her spatial storage.
After get off work, she took a thermos to the People's Armed Forces Department of the regiment to find Ma Nanzheng.
Ma Nanzheng tidied up and prepared to leave work.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the open office door, and when he looked up, he was surprised to see Xia Fanxing.
"Comrade Xia, what brings you here?" Ma Nanzheng asked in surprise, then nervously, "Has something happened?"
Xia Fanxing chuckled and approached, carrying a thermos. "Officer Ma, listen to what you're saying. Do you think I can only come to you when something really happens?"
Ma Nanzheng waved his hands repeatedly, his dark face flushing red with anxiety. "That's not what I meant—"
"Well, I do have something to ask you." Xia Fanxing coughed awkwardly to cover it up.
"..." Ma Nanzheng didn't know if he should make fun of her now.
Xia Fanxing removed the stopper from the thermos, and a rich milky aroma immediately wafted out.
Instead of hot water, it contained prepared malted milk powder.
Xia Fanxing poured a glass and handed it to Ma Nanzheng, saying, "I'll talk to you while you drink."
Ma Nanzheng didn't refuse and picked up the cup to drink.
He knew that with Xia Fanxing's personality, if he kept sending her things, she would eventually refuse him completely.
Only through give and take can things last.
The malted milk powder was at just the right temperature, and Ma Nanzheng drank the whole cup in one go.
Strangely enough, he doesn't usually like drinking sweet things, but after finishing this cup, he was still a little unsatisfied.
I feel like this malted milk powder tastes different from what I've had before.
Xia Fanxing could tell he liked it, so she put the thermos on the table and said, "It tastes pretty good, doesn't it? This whole bottle is for you to drink. You can take it back to your dorm, just wash it and return it to me next time."
“Okay.” Ma Nanzheng accepted it without ceremony, and asked curiously, “Where did you get this malted milk powder? The taste is a bit special.”
Xia Fanxing said mysteriously, "It's a secret."
Actually, there's nothing special about the malted milk powder or the water used to make it; the only difference is that Xia Fanxing added some spiritual spring water.
There was only one drop, and it was diluted by the malted milk powder in the entire thermos.
Ma Nanzheng needs to take care of his health gradually; he can't become obese overnight, otherwise it will definitely attract attention.
Ma Nanzheng hesitated for a moment, then poured himself another glass.
But when Xia Fanxing mentioned the military receipts, his expression changed drastically. He quickly put down his cup, almost choking, and exclaimed, "Quick, quick, let me see it!"
Xia Fanxing handed the receipts that Su Weiguo had given her to Ma Nanzheng for a look. Ma Nanzheng immediately recognized that they were genuine military receipts and not forgeries.
"Comrade Xia, your intuition is correct. If an ordinary person takes military-issued documents, at best it's a violation of discipline, and at worst it's damaging relations between the military and civilians and corrupting soldiers! You said your colleague's brother gave them to you? This person is trying to harm you! What's his name? I'll go tell the regimental commander right now!"
Ma Nanzheng appeared very excited.
This is no joke; thankfully, Xia Fanxing is smart and doesn't try to take advantage of others.
If she were to take these military receipts to any place where they could be redeemed today, it would be a clear-cut crime with no room for leniency.
