Chapter 179: Chapter 0179 Sweet Affection 3_1

Not long after Dr. Guo and the nurse left, Ouyang Zijin came in carrying a tray of food.

"Come on, eat up, eat up! The food is from the canteen!"

Ordinary patients in the hospital can get a portion of patient meals without needing a Grain Ticket, let alone a soldier like Lu Jiang who has been injured for his country. Moreover, his position and rank allow him to enjoy a certain level of meals.

Ouyang Zijin had no shortage of tickets, and he went to great lengths to cater for Feng Qingxue, who had come from far away.

The dishes were cold mixed mung bean sprouts, pickled loofah stir-fried with pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and braised tofu. The staple food was corn grits brown rice.

"Little sister, there are not many good dishes in the canteen, please bear with it!" Those dishes were already the best in the canteen and there would be a long queue without connections. Ouyang Zijin had enough Grain Tickets, but he had nowhere to buy better food!

"What are you talking about, big brother? This is already good enough." Feng Qingxue said.

Lu Jiang had injuries to his limbs, but his chest and waist were unharmed, allowing him, with the help of others, to sit up halfway. Thus, Feng Qingxue helped him to sit up and placed pillows and neatly folded quilts on his back.

The weather was hot, so the quilt had been left unused.

Feng Qingxue held the rice, fed him a mouthful of rice, and then fed him a mouthful of vegetables, excluding the cold mixed mung bean sprouts.

She remembered that mung bean sprouts could purge heat and detoxify, which meant they could neutralize the medicinal properties, and hence, people on medication should not eat mung beans and the like.

"Qingxue, don’t worry about me, you should eat." Lu Jiang said.

"No problem, I’m not hungry. You eat first, and then I’ll eat."

Ouyang Zijin scooped up some rice topped with scrambled eggs with tomatoes; his teeth were feeling sour.

Suddenly Feng Qingxue recalled Niu Yibao, "What about lunch for comrade Niu?"

She had already learned from Lu Jiang that Niu Yibao was a soldier assigned by the troops to look after his diet and daily life. After all, it was inappropriate to trouble the hospital’s nurses with washing and using the toilet.

Ouyang Zijin swallowed his meal and said, "He eats at the canteen, you don’t have to worry, little sister."

"That’s good."

"Brother Ouyang, please tell Niu Yibao something," Lu Jiang began, "Qingxue must be very tired from rushing over here right after alighting. I’ll be fine after changing my medicine. After eating, ask Niu Yibao to take her to the guesthouse to rest."

Ouyang Zijin readily agreed, "Of course, of course, I’ll stay here and look after you."

Feng Qingxue thought for a moment and did not decline.

She was quite disheveled now and needed a good bath and to change into clean clothes.

What is manners? Being neat and clean is a form of courtesy to others.

"Brother Ouyang, please look after Ajiang, I will come back after sorting out my luggage." She had to see how to prepare nutritious meals that could promote wound healing for Lu Jiang.

Listening to Dr. Guo’s opinion, Lu Jiang won’t be discharged for a while, so she had to plan in advance.

At the guesthouse, the room had been prepared in advance. Once the simple registration was completed, a staff member helped bring her luggage into the room. As the staff member left, he handed the key to Feng Qingxue, "Comrade, the guesthouse has warm water. I’ll send up a couple of thermos flasks later, and there is food here too. If you need anything, just call."

They all knew the origins of Feng Qingxue and treated her with extra courtesy.

After Niu Yibao left, a staff member brought her some hot water. After expressing her gratitude, Feng Qingxue locked the door.

The room in the guesthouse was very simple and did not include bathing facilities. She used the hot water from her dimensional space, and took out a cedar bath tub she had prepared in there a long time ago. She took a really good bath.
