Chapter 380 Thoughts
Lan Jin walked to Ling Jiang's bedside and opened the thermos on the table. The aroma of meat porridge wafted over.
The heat-insulating lid could be used as a bowl. As she poured the porridge into the lid, she said, "You just woke up and haven't eaten in a few days. I didn't dare make you anything else, so I made some porridge. Eat this first. If you want something else, you can eat it tomorrow."
Ling Jiang was so hungry that he didn't care what the food was as long as it could fill his stomach.
Lan Jin had let the porridge cool down for a while, and now it was warm and very delicious. She finished it in three or two mouthfuls and then had a second bowl.
It was not until he had eaten two bowls of porridge that Ling Jiang felt his stomach was much more comfortable, and he finally slowed down the speed at which he drank the porridge.
Lan Jin asked, "Are you feeling better now?"
Ling Jiang nodded blankly, then replied, "Okay, everything is fine."
Lan Jin was stunned as she poured her porridge again, then smiled and said, "That's good. You don't know how worried we were when you were unconscious this time, especially Lao Gao. His face looked even uglier than when he was keeping vigil over Grandma Ling, as if you were about to die."
Lan Jin said this jokingly, and Ling Jiang had really calmed down a lot. He also replied jokingly: "He didn't have a particularly good childhood. I'm many years older than him. I basically raised him. Our relationship is different. Now that grandma is gone, it's just the two of us. Naturally, he's worried about me."
However, Ling Jiang looked at Lan Jin and asked, "Didn't you worry about me for a moment? Didn't you stay by my side? We've been through life and death together for so long, and you don't even show any appreciation?"
"So what I just said was about us. We are all very worried about you." Lan Jin rolled her eyes and said, "You really are! I have already sent Qiao Qiao to kindergarten. Otherwise, I would have no time to come and see you with the child. With Lao Gao in that state, Xiao Huang and I can't rest assured that only he can watch over you. I come during the day and he comes at night."
"Thank you, but I'm awake now. You don't need to guard me anymore. Tell Xiao Huang to stop coming later."
"Alright, since you're rarely sick, just follow our instructions. Seeing how energetic you are, I think you'll be discharged tomorrow. It'll only be one more night, so don't refuse."
Thinking about it this way, Ling Jiang really didn't refuse this time.
…
The porridge tasted just so-so. After eating it, Ling Jiang felt it was too bland. The key point was that he was not full yet, so he started to think about other food.
She asked, "Hey, how does the cafeteria at the Beijing base taste? I feel like if I had another bowl of rice right now, I could show off a whole bowl."
"What the hell is a cafeteria? I've been cooking all the meals in my space these past few days. I haven't even tried them, so how can I know what they taste like? Also, your stomach isn't suitable for showing off right now, so just go hungry for now."
Ling Jiang said disappointedly: "Ah, you've been here for several days, haven't you tried it yet?"
"Don't even think about it. When I'm discharged from the hospital tomorrow, we can go eat together. But it's just the same taste. How can it be better than what we make ourselves? Don't hold your hopes too high."
"Why."
Ling Jiang sighed and finished the last bowl of porridge. Time was almost up for the day.
After a while, Huang Jinghe came over. After exchanging greetings for a while, Lan Jin went to the kindergarten to pick up the child on time.
Little Lan Qiaoqiao was both happy and disappointed about going to kindergarten again. She was happy because she could play with many other children again, but she was unhappy because Grandma Ling was gone and would never come back.
The children in the kindergarten did not understand her sadness. They just went over to her and started talking to her in a friendly manner when they saw her sighing. They thought that such friendly emotions could infect little Lan Qiaoqiao and at least make her not so sad anymore.
But who would have thought that things seemed to be completely the opposite. Not only did the child fail to comfort Lan Qiaoqiao's mood, but she alone made all the children depressed.
When Lan Jin came over, she saw a group of children crying silently. If she didn't know that the base was strictly managed and that anyone who beat or bullied children would be severely punished, even to death, once discovered, Lan Jin would definitely have thought that the teachers here had bullied these children.
But when she understood the truth of the matter, she was left in a state of confusion. Moreover, her child was really...
You are really good at causing trouble.
…
Lan Jin took Lan Qiaoqiao home, and then asked her some questions and gave her some instructions. In short, negative emotions like this cannot be allowed to infect an entire class of students.
Fortunately, the child was obedient, especially after she threatened him that he would never see Zhou Zhiye again, Lan Qiaoqiao became even more obedient.
"Mom, Qiao Qiao promises that I will never do this again. If I'm in a bad mood, I'll just hold it in and come back to be sad secretly. I won't affect my classmates."
Anyway, she agreed to this very well, but as to how much she understood, it is really unknown.
…
Just as they expected, Ling Jiang was able to be discharged from the hospital the next day.
The three of them left the hospital together and went to the cafeteria together.
It was lunch time and there were quite a lot of people there. After waiting in line for a while, I found a seat and started eating.
The prices here are not much different from those in H City. For them... oh no, for everyone, as long as they don't lie at home doing nothing, then it is not expensive.
Although the taste here cannot be compared with the food in Lanjin Space, eating the food in the cafeteria makes people feel inexplicably safe.
…
A week later, as they continued to wander around the base, and after seeing Captain Zhang for the umpteenth time, Captain Zhang finally couldn't help but say, "If you really have nothing to do, just rest up. What are you doing hanging around here?"
"Who's wandering around? We're checking out the base."
Captain Zhang was speechless. "Okay, then, after wandering around for so many days, have you guys gotten a clear understanding of the base? Do you also have a clear idea of what you want to do next?"
Lan Jin whispered in Captain Zhang's ear, "Captain Zhang, this is the Jing City base, someone else's base. Do you have the final say on what we should do?"
Captain Zhang rolled his eyes. "Even if I changed bases, my position is still there. Can I just sit there and do nothing?"
"No, we're just worried that you'll be sidelined. We want to ask you for help but you won't be able to help. If we tell you again, not only will you feel powerless, but you'll also feel bad. Then we'll be guilty."
Captain Zhang was so angry that he wanted to curse, but when he saw that the person he wanted to curse was Lan Jin, he swallowed his anger and said, "When did you become so considerate? Why do you care about me? Tell me, what do you think?"
