1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 628 Heartbroken
Doctor Zhao frowned slightly as she looked at Chu Xue. She hadn't expected Fu Yancheng's fiancée to be so beautiful. Her flawless skin alone was something no one else could compare to.

She had originally wanted to introduce her niece to Fu Yancheng, but now it seemed fortunate that she hadn't had the chance. She brushed the stray hairs from the side of her face and said, "His injuries look quite frightening, but they didn't damage the internal organs. It's just that the blast wound area is too large, so it must not get infected to avoid causing other complications."

Furthermore, once the other person wakes up, they shouldn't remain prone for extended periods. They need to be turned over regularly, and encouraged to take deep breaths and cough effectively to promote sputum expectoration and prevent lung infections.

Chu Xue listened attentively: "Have you been avoiding any foods lately?"

Seeing how detailed her questions were, Dr. Zhao's impression of the girl improved considerably. After all, his own niece might not be as attentive: "Avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods. Try to prepare nutritious meals for him, such as eggs, lean meat, fish, and fresh fruits and vegetables, all of which can promote wound healing."

Actually, what she knew was pretty much the same, but just in case, I asked her a few more questions. After all, I don't know anything about medicine, and it wouldn't be good if I overlooked something.

After asking some more questions about nursing care, they left.

As soon as I came out, I saw Guo Zhanrong standing there: "Xiao Guo, do you know where I can buy ingredients? Also, does the military hospital have a place to cook?"

Guo Zhanrong was delighted to hear this: "Comrade Liu, the army has a military service center with fairly complete supplies. Also, the wives of soldiers go to the surrounding villages to exchange things with the villagers. In addition, the army hospital provides cooking stoves, but you have to pay a 10 cents fuel fee each time."

Chu Xue knew what she wanted to know: "You heard it just now too. If you want your deputy battalion commander to get better quickly, you need to make sure he gets enough nutrition. I was thinking of buying some ingredients before he wakes up and making him some soup to help him recover."

She had already tried it when she entered the ward before, and his fever had subsided. Presumably, he would wake up after he had slept enough.

She wanted to use the excuse of making soup to add some water from the space pool to him so that he would suffer less. The thought of him being bound like a mummy with bandages and frowning even in his unconscious state made her heart ache terribly.

Although the water in the space pool wouldn't have an immediate effect, it would at least lessen his pain. Guo Zhanrong was happy for his deputy battalion commander. He had met many of his comrades' families before, and they were all frugal wherever they could. This man, however, clearly genuinely cared for his deputy battalion commander; otherwise, he wouldn't have immediately prepared food to nourish him upon arrival. "Comrade Liu, I'll take you there now."

The hospital wasn't far from the military service center, but they arrived a bit late, and the meat and eggs were all gone. There were only two crucian carp weighing less than a pound left in the basin on the ground: "Comrade, I'll take these two crucian carp."

Seeing that she didn't have a basket or anything like that, the salesperson tied the two fish together with a straw rope: "Comrade, one pound and six ounces, five mao per pound, no coupon needed, eight mao in total."

I bought tofu and seasonings before heading back.

Just as I arrived at the entrance, I saw that they were selling aluminum lunch boxes, so I bought two more, along with two pairs of chopsticks and a spoon, before leaving the service center.

Guo Zhanrong helped with most of the work.

Back at the hospital, Chu Xue was worried about Fu Yancheng, so she asked Guo Zhanrong to go to the ward first.

She went to the canteen to rent a stove, only to find out that it cost one cent to use the stove, but no cookware was provided, which caused her a lot of trouble.

I do have it in my storage space, but what reason can I give to take it out?
