That's obviously nonsense. The drugs in the space were obtained by him from a medical laboratory, which was exclusively for the military. Their efficacy was definitely better than the ones we have now.
Knowing he was going on a mission, she had already packaged the medicine in ordinary porcelain bottles, just so she could take it out at this time.
Xiao Yuheng was unaware of all this, and only kept promising to protect himself.
"I'm leaving."
"good."
Only after the man disappeared through the door did Gu An'an blink and suppress the tears welling up in her eyes.
This will become the norm from now on; she'll have to get used to it.
That's what she said, but having just arrived in an unfamiliar place and with Xiao Yuheng not at home, Gu An'an still felt a bit lonely.
He took inventory of everything in the house and wrote down everything that was missing in his notebook before changing into his outdoor clothes and heading to the logistics department.
As soon as she stepped out, she was met with a host of curious or scrutinizing glances. Gu An'an didn't feel uncomfortable at all; when people looked at her, she would just smile and nod.
Sure enough, seeing her attitude, someone immediately came up to greet her.
"Oh my, you must be Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao's wife? You're so pretty."
A woman carrying a basket on her back and holding a child's hand walked towards the logistics department just like Gu An'an, chatting with Gu An'an as they walked.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Liu Li, the wife of Zhang Quanjia, the battalion commander of the Second Battalion. This is my son, Dunzi."
Xiao Yuheng had already explained everything that needed to be said, so Gu An'an immediately recognized the person and her expression changed slightly. Zhang Quan and Xiao Yuheng had often gone on missions together before and had a life-or-death friendship. Moreover, Liu Li was one of the people in the family compound who were easy to get along with. She was honest and upright and rarely interfered in the family affairs of the compound.
Zhang Quan was older than Xiao Yuheng, so Gu An'an greeted him naturally, "Sister-in-law, Aheng mentioned you to me before I came, and told me to ask you if I had any questions. I didn't expect to run into you as soon as I went out today. It seems we are really destined to meet. Are you in town with your child to buy things?"
Liu Li was overjoyed that Xiao Yuheng would mention her to his wife. What does this mean? It means she's a reliable person!
"Oh, you two are too polite. If you need anything, just let me know. There's no need to ask for advice."
"That's right. I haven't been to the city since winter started. This kid will be going to school at the beginning of the year, so I was thinking of going to the city to buy him some things. Dunzi, quickly call her Auntie."
Dunzi was a little shy, but he also thought the aunt in front of him was too beautiful. He blinked his big, grape-like eyes and glanced at Gu An'an from time to time until his mother cued him. Then he blushed and said, "Hello, beautiful aunt."
As the saying goes, a sweet-talking child gets candy. Gu An'an took out a handful of candy from her pocket, or rather, from her spatial storage, and handed it over. "Dunzi has such a sweet tongue. Here! Take this candy."
When Liu Li saw that Gu An'an had taken out White Rabbit milk candy, she knew how expensive it was and was too embarrassed to accept it. "Sister-in-law, you should put it away quickly. He's just a kid and doesn't like candy."
Noticing Dunzi's gaze fixed on the White Rabbit candy, Gu An'an couldn't believe Liu Li's words. "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Adults all like to eat candy, let alone a child as big as Dunzi. We still have some candy at home, so please let the child accept it. Otherwise, I'll be too embarrassed to come to your door for help in the future."
Since things had come to this point, Liu Li had no choice but to let Dunzi accept the money. "Dunzi, thank you, Auntie."
"Thank you, beautiful auntie."
Dunzi carefully put the candy into his pocket, swallowed hard, and asked, "Mommy, can I have one?"
Liu Li patted his head with amusement, "Okay, you can eat it."
Then, the two saw Dunzi happily squint his eyes.
"Auntie eats, Mom eats."
He wasn't one to keep everything to himself; he remembered to share two, but neither of them wanted them.
With someone accompanying her, Gu An'an didn't feel so bored. She asked a lot of questions about the family compound along the way. When they arrived at the logistics department, there were already people waiting there.
Upon seeing Gu An'an, everyone's eyes were unconsciously drawn to her, but they hesitated to ask directly. That person was Liu Li, who was standing to the side.
"Liu Li, is this a relative of yours?"
"No, this is Gu An'an, the wife of Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao."
Liu Li introduced Gu An'an to Liu Li. Although they weren't among the people Xiao Yuheng had mentioned, Liu Li's attitude showed that these two weren't the kind of people who would be disliked.
Although Gu An'an was young, Xiao Yuheng held a high position. The people in front of her were all much older than Gu An'an, but none of them dared to raise their voices at her.
"This is Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao's wife. She really is as beautiful as they say, like a fairy."
"Exactly. When I first heard it, I thought they were exaggerating, but now I see they were actually being modest."
...
Three women make a drama, but fortunately Gu An'an is a worldly person and is quite used to such flattery, without getting carried away.
"My sisters-in-law are joking."
While the group was chatting, a few more people arrived one after another, all of them carrying baskets on their backs. Upon seeing unfamiliar faces, they couldn't help but ask questions, and after learning who they were, they would praise them. It was quite lively for a while.
"They're all shallow-minded people who are always sucking up to others."
Gu An'an had very keen hearing. Following the sound, she saw a woman in her fifties walking towards her. Most importantly, the woman's gaze was not friendly.
"Sister-in-law, who is that?"
Liu Li glanced at it and said softly, "The battalion commander's mother."
In fact, she wanted to remind people of more things, such as that the battalion commander of the first battalion and Xiao Yuheng used to be rivals, but Xiao Yuheng eventually succeeded in being promoted to deputy regimental commander.
However, since there were many people around, she didn't cause any trouble.
Unfortunately, she didn't cause any trouble, but the other party didn't want to be left out. As soon as she got close, they started acting like an elder.
"I'm telling you, you young people are all so talkative. You chatter on and on, don't you know some people don't like noise?"
A few words ruined what was a nice atmosphere.
"Auntie, what are you saying? What's wrong with us having a chat?"
The old woman glanced at the woman who had spoken and said disdainfully, "Those who don't listen to the elders will suffer the consequences. You argue back every time I say something to you. No wonder your husband always quarrels with you."
It's common knowledge that the woman who speaks out has a quick temper and often argues with her husband, but the couple's relationship hasn't suffered because of the arguments, and she doesn't feel anything is wrong.
But now that someone has said it so bluntly, the woman's expression is still not good.
"What business is it of yours if my husband and I are arguing? I think you should mind your own business first! Do you know why your son can't find a wife? It's because of your meddlesome nature. You can't be unaware of that, can you?"
