Chapter 424 Gu En’s Car Accident 4_1
"Alright, alright, I admit defeat!" He Zhilan said, torn between laughter and tears.
The three of them walked into the great dining hall together. It was bustling this New Year’s Eve, and because Commander Gu was set to arrive tonight, those families who resided with the troops, like the political commissar’s, had also come to dine at the canteen.
As soon as she walked in, He Zhilan was greeted by the delicious aroma of dumplings. Around the canteen, she spotted Kang Xing and Niu Rang standing together, chatting. They both immediately came over when they noticed He Zhilan.
"Sister-in-law!" Kang Xing looked directly at He Zhilan’s hand in concern. "I heard you hurt your hand. Is it serious?"
"It’s okay. So you two have been busy here all afternoon?" He Zhilan replied with a slight smile.
"Absolutely! We’ve been helping with preparing the dumplings and washing vegetables! You should know, it’s more exhausting than training, fortunately it only happens once a year. If it occurred every few days, it would surely kill us." Niu Rang chimed in and then glanced around at the crowd in the dining hall. "Seeing so many people enjoying the food we prepared fills me with a sense of achievement. It feels like, I’ve suddenly become their guardian responsible for providing them food and clothing! Hahaha!"
"Lack of education is truly frightening; being a provider of sustenance is more than just washing veggies!" Chen Ya’nan teased from the side. Ignoring the flustered Niu Rang, she linked arms with He Zhilan and walked further in.
Over at the entrance of the military compound, He Teng and several officers were standing in the cold wind, waiting. After only three minutes, they saw some headlights shining in.
