Chapter 127 You will know how hard they work, and it will hurt you to see them!
But think about it. Although Lu Hongxuan is now in a remote place, his salary is not low. In addition, he was born in a military academy. His ability is also very good. In the eyes of others, this is a long-term meal ticket. The monthly salary is 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, and he is in the army for more than ten months a year. There is no need to worry that the man will have an affair. And the woman can also not follow the army, and live comfortably in the county or city with the man's salary.
"Don't tell me that it was me who said that!" Fan Linlin said to Su Nuo. "They didn't know that you and Captain Lu were in love before. That's why..." Fan Linlin explained.
"Yeah!" Su Nuo knew what Fan Linlin meant. In fact, no matter whether Lu Hongxuan had a partner or not, in the eyes of others, Lu Hongxuan was a hot commodity. They would introduce him to others whenever they had the chance. Even married people were poached. What's more, Lu Hongxuan was single before.
Su Nuo remembered the purpose of his visit. He said to Fan Linlin, "Sister Linlin, is your deputy captain An also going on patrol?"
"Hmm! They are in charge of a different area than Captain Lu and his team. It seems that their patrol takes more than six days. The area Captain Lu and his team patrol is one day further away. It takes more than seven days!"
"So what do they usually eat?" Sunuo asked.
"As for water, it's the water from the river! Just drink the water wherever you go!" Fan Linlin explained.
"What about food?" Sunuo asked curiously. "I want to make some chopped peppers and beef sauce. Let them take them with them on the road!"
"We have steamed buns, military canned food, dry food and so on for meals," Fan Linlin replied. "Your idea is good! You are such a good cook. The weather is so cold now. These things are easy to preserve."
"I don't know when they're leaving! I'll do it before they leave."
"Tell me when you make it, and I'll make some too!" Fan Linlin said excitedly. "But I'm not a good cook. I'll help you!"
"Okay!" Sunuo agreed immediately.
"Then I'll ask An Ge when they're leaving. Prepare them a day in advance. This stuff can be stored for several days. The chili sauce can be made in the next few days, but the beef sauce can only be made one or two days in advance." Fan Linlin decided to ask the quartermaster to help buy some chili peppers tomorrow. She can't cook, but she can cut chili peppers.
"Okay! Then tell me when you go tomorrow. Buy some more. This can be stored for several months."
"Great! Sunuo, you are really capable. I have been here for one or two years, and I have never thought about these things. I am really derelict in my duty!" Fan Linlin said with some sadness. "You haven't seen how they look when they come back from patrol. They are still strong and energetic when they go out. But after coming back, they have lost ten pounds. The skin on their faces is very rough. Many of them have cracked hands, frostbitten feet, and many wounds on their bodies caused by leech bites. Every time Brother An goes out on patrol, I can't sleep for a few days, I'm afraid something will happen to him. I pray to God every day to protect him. After he comes back, I am glad that he is safe." Fan Linlin said, tears in her eyes. "I even quarreled with Brother An. I wanted him to be transferred and not stay here. I am afraid that one time I leave, it will be a farewell forever! It's not that I am ignorant, but I am really scared!"
Su Nuo handed the tissue to Fan Linlin.
Fan Linlin took the tissue, wiped her tears and continued, "When you see Captain Lu and the others coming back, you will know how hard they worked. It will hurt you to see them!"
