Chapter 37 Warmth



There were a few yellow sheep in the cafeteria, and the quartermaster specially cooked a braised lamb dish and gave the guards enough food for four or five people.

Chen Zhong was very happy and immediately adjourned the meeting: "Everyone go eat, and come back to the meeting right after dinner!"

This is good stuff. Eat it while it’s hot. Xiaojun will definitely like it.

Pushing open the door of the small conference room, Chen Zhong saw Jiang Jun sleeping soundly on the table with his head resting on his arm, covered with a cotton coat.

Looking at Chen Yuanwu again, he was wearing an empty military uniform and reading a book.

Chen Zhong turned around and called to the guard: "Go and get my military coat."

The guard put down his food and hurried out.

Chen Yuanwu put down his book and stood up to salute Chen Zhong, but Chen Zhong stopped him: "How long has she been sleeping?"

"Half an hour."

In fact, it has been more than an hour.

Chen Zhong felt relieved, and then he bent down to call Jiang Yun to wake up and eat.

Jiang Jun had slept for a long time, his arms were numb and his neck was uncomfortable. He sat up and rubbed the back of his neck. Just as he was about to say hello to Chen Zhong, he felt cold. He quickly took out a handkerchief to cover his face and sneezed loudly.

She wiped her nose with a handkerchief and apologized with a red face: "Uncle Chen, I accidentally fell asleep."

She glanced at the cotton coat on the ground and was about to pick it up, but Chen Yuanwu had already picked it up before her.

"Hurry up and eat. Soak the rice in mutton soup. It's hot and will help dispel the cold." Chen Zhong pretended to see nothing and ladled soup over Jiang Yun's rice. "Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. You'll be starving if you don't eat!"

The guard came in with a coat, handed it to Chen Zhong, and turned to leave.

Chen Zhong smiled and said to Jiang Yun, "My dear, I forgot that you are not my soldier yet. You have been working as a cultural instructor for too long. I hope you will not be exhausted. Wear this coat for a while. I will ask the guards to get you a cotton-padded jacket for female soldiers later."

Jiang Jun smiled immediately: "Thank you, Uncle Chen!"

What did Teacher Luo say? As long as you have breath left, you must firmly believe that a miracle will happen.

Such a good thing that came in handy in times of need actually happened to her!

Jiang Yun offered Chen Zhong some soup and some vegetables, saying, "Uncle Chen, please have some lamb tendons."

"My girl, how old are you?" Chen Zhong felt that Jiang Jun looked like a half-grown child at first, but through observing her for the past two days, he felt that Jiang Jun seemed to be very confident in everything she did.

Jiang Yun scratched his forehead. "Fourteen and a half. My birthday is May 3rd."

Chen Zhong looked at Chen Yuanwu: "What's wrong? Can you choke while eating?"

Chen Yuanwu put down his chopsticks, drank some water, and swallowed the food in his mouth: "My birthday is also on May 3rd."

Cake seller, same month, same day?

Jiang Yun looked at Chen Yuanwu's face and asked, "How many years younger am I than you?"

Chen Yuanwu laughed: "You are five years younger. You are the same age as Chen Yuefei."

"Chen Yuefei? Who is that?" Chen Zhong repeated himself before finally remembering, "Why did Yuejin change his name to this?"

"Xiao Fei."

"Xiao Fei buys medicine."

Chen Yuanwu and Jiang Yun answered at the same time and laughed at the same time.

Chen Zhong also found it funny: "Silly boy, you're quite ambitious." Looking at Jiang Yun, he felt a little regretful: "My daughter, you're a little young. It would be better if you were a year older."

It's possible to join the army by using a backdoor, but the training for new recruits is so hard that they can't bear it if they are too young.

Jiang Jun understood what Chen Zhong meant and was overjoyed. He was thinking of a solution for her. She immediately replied, "Uncle Chen, I will study hard this year and strive to graduate early."

Chen Zhongduo really appreciated such a thoughtful girl: "Okay! Come find me when you get your diploma!"

Chen Yuanwu silently picked up the bowl and continued to eat. He only answered one sentence and then he had nothing to do. He felt that if Jiang Jun was a boy, he would definitely be sent to the recruit company by Chen Zhong tonight.

To him, Chen Zhong has always been a strict father, and even at home, he rarely speaks to his sister like this.

After drinking the hot soup and eating the hot rice, Jiang Jun felt warm all over, his little face turned red, and the budding symptoms of a cold disappeared.

Putting on Chen Zhong's coat is like putting on a quilt.

After the guard brought the new cotton-padded jacket, Chen Yuanwu suggested, "Xiaojun, you should go home early to rest today. Tell me which formulas you want to look at. Uncle Jiang hasn't dismissed the meeting yet, so I'll take you home."

Jiang Jun agreed. She seemed to have eaten a little too much mutton, and her appetite was a little low, so she also wanted to leave early.

After the beginning of winter, it gets dark earlier and earlier.

The temperature at night was getting lower and lower. The army distributed winter clothes after the National Day holiday, and the soldiers only took off their cotton clothes when they did drills early in the morning.

Chen Yuanwu had to walk back to the ward in the division hospital soon, and it was not convenient for him to ride a bike with someone, so he kept a distance of half a meter from Jiang Jun and walked side by side.

As Jiang Jun left the division headquarters compound, he began to make small talk: "Squad Leader Chen, do you go to school very late?"

Since he is five years older, he should be a sophomore.

Chen Yuanwu replied, "I was in poor health when I was young. I didn't start primary school until I was eight, and I took a year off due to illness when I was in middle school."

Many people have asked this question, and he is used to it, so his answer is simple and fluent.

Jiang Jun couldn't help but turn to look at Chen Yuanwu, his body straight as the birch tree behind him. "Huh? What's the disease?"

Chen Yuanwu said naturally, "It was pneumonia. I was treated at the Military Headquarters. The acute pneumonia turned into chronic bronchitis, so I took a year off from school to recuperate at home."

He didn't need to take such a long leave of absence from school, but Ye Qingyin felt sorry for her son and insisted on taking him out of school.

On boring days, novels and poems became his greatest comfort and companionship.

Jiang Jun murmured, continuing to push his bike forward. "Pneumonia is fine. Once you recover, just exercise more and it won't come back. It's not contagious either."

If you have cephalosporin antibiotics, you can be discharged from the hospital in two days.

Chen Yuanwu was a little surprised: "How do you know it's not contagious?"

Jiang Jun tripped over the bicycle stirrup and nearly stumbled. "I saw a health textbook somewhere, and that's what it said."

Chen Yuanwu was quick to grab the rear rack of the bicycle and said, "Be careful."

Jiang Yun simply stopped, looked up at Chen Yuanwu, and smiled friendlyly: "Is this why Uncle Chen asked you to join the army?"

Don’t even mention how much exercise the soldiers do during daily drills. Even if an ordinary person can run for ten minutes every day, their immunity will be great!

Chen Yuanwu's hand still held onto the bicycle. "Xiaojun, has your memory always been this good?"

Jiang Jun shook his head. "I don't know. I can remember some things and some I can't. For example, I can't remember those math, physics, and chemistry formulas. It takes a long time to memorize them. Your memory is much better than mine. You studied so late yesterday, and you were still able to memorize a whole page of formulas when you returned to the ward."

She only copied all the formulas from two junior high school math books on two pages.

What's more, this guy has basically never touched a math book since he dropped out of school.
