"Something happens in the army tonight, so I may be home a little late. You can eat first and don't have to wait for me." Huo Ci said on the phone.

When Jiang Yushan answered the phone, she didn't expect it to be Huo Ci.

"Okay." Jiang Yushan agreed without asking any more questions, "Then how late do you mean...?"

Many things in the army are confidential, especially the tasks that Huo Ci is involved in.

Jiang Yushan was quite clear about this, so he didn't ask any further questions.

"I'm not sure about the details. If you're sleepy, go to bed early and don't wait for me." Huo Ci said.

"understood."

Jiang Yushan agreed, and after returning home from the message room, he took out some of the prepared food, put it in a bowl, and made it for his dinner.

As for the rest, they were stored in the storage space on the second floor for preservation.

In the warehouse on the second floor, time does not pass after things are put in. No matter how long they are kept there, they remain the same as when they were first put in. These dishes are put in while hot, so no matter how much time has passed, they will still be hot when they are taken out.

Jiang Yushan ate a little, took a shower, and cut a fruit plate to eat. She waited until after nine o'clock before Huo Ci came back.

"Why haven't you slept yet? Didn't you say you didn't have to wait for me?" Huo Ci opened the door and was stunned to see the lights in the living room were still on.

Jiang Yushan was sitting on the sofa. When she heard the door open, she immediately turned around and looked over. For a moment, Huo Ci's heart beat abnormally.

In the past, no matter how late he was busy, this room was always deserted when he returned. After a long time, Huo Ci felt that it would be better to stay in the military dormitory, which was more lively than here.

But now it’s different. There is also a light here, and someone will be waiting for him to come back.

"It's still early. I couldn't sleep so I waited... Have you had dinner?" Jiang Yushan stood up, looked at the time and asked.

Huo Ci came back later than she expected. She was thinking that if Huo Ci didn't come back, she would go to bed.

"Not yet." He had been busy in the army for a long time and had no time to eat. He thought of just having something to eat when he came back.

"Then go take a shower first, and I'll heat up some food for you." Jiang Yushan said.

Huo Ci did not refuse. It was indeed getting late. Jiang Yushan had been waiting for him until now, and he didn't want her to stay up all night and waste time here with him.

After Jiang Yushan entered the kitchen, there was no hot dish. The previous dishes were all placed in the space and could be taken out directly. Even the rice was hot, so Huo Ci could eat it as if it was freshly cooked.

She just brought it out from the kitchen and ate it after Huo Ci washed it.

"It's so hot? I'll just eat something casually. You're working too hard." Huo Ci came out and was surprised to see the table full of dishes. If it wasn't so late, he would feel that it was the same as when he came back every evening.

The dishes on this table looked as if they were freshly cooked and did not look like hot leftovers at all.

"They were all prepared in the evening. I can't eat much by myself. Didn't you miss dinner? Come on, it's a good time to eat more." Jiang Yushan said, and served a bowl of soup beside him. "But why didn't you have dinner?"

She thought that since Huo Ci was not coming back for dinner, he should be able to eat in the army cafeteria, but she didn't expect that he didn't even have a meal.

"At noon today, something happened in the army's third canteen. The soldiers who went there to eat all showed symptoms of food poisoning in the afternoon. The infirmary was almost crazy busy today." Huo Ci told her what happened in the army while eating.

Mass food poisoning is no small matter. Huo Ci has been dealing with it since he received the news in the afternoon. He only found time to call Jiang Yushan to inform her.

"The nature of the incident is unclear and the cause has not been found out yet. Today I have been busy comforting the soldiers, investigating and collecting evidence, and holding meetings until just now." Huo Ci couldn't help but sigh.

The troops are still not sure whether it was an accident or intentional. If it was intentional, it would be a serious matter.

However, over the years, the army has never had such a collective food poisoning incident in the canteen, and the superiors take it very seriously.

"Food poisoning? Is it serious? Is the person okay?" Jiang Yushan was also surprised after hearing this. He did not expect such a situation to occur in the army.

After all, it is a canteen that provides meals for the soldiers. Logically, they would pay attention to all aspects, including the incompatibility of foods. It is unlikely that such a situation would occur.

"He's fine, but the infirmary is full of patients." Huo Ci frowned, looking a little distressed.

At least nothing particularly serious happened, otherwise the matter would be even bigger.

After he goes to the army tomorrow, he will continue his investigation, but the most troublesome thing right now is not this...

"The cook of the third canteen has been temporarily suspended, pending investigation. The army's kitchen staff is insufficient right now. If the third canteen cannot provide meals tomorrow, some soldiers will not be able to eat." Huo Ci discussed this matter at a meeting tonight: "The higher-ups want to find some military wives in the family compound tomorrow to take over first, so that the soldiers won't go hungry."

Huo Ci usually doesn't talk much, but now he is willing to chat more with Jiang Yushan and tell her the details of the army.

"Then...should this matter be handed over to Sister Hu? I can go to the cafeteria to help with cooking." Jiang Yushan became very interested when he heard that it was related to cooking.

She felt that the political commissar must know about this matter. As the political commissar's wife, Hu Xiaowen was also relatively familiar with the military wives in the family compound. If there was anything to be done for the military wives, it was very likely that Hu Xiaowen would be the one to organize it.

"Well, Sister Hu will be recruiting people in the family compound tomorrow." Huo Ci nodded. When he heard that Jiang Yushan wanted to help, he looked a little worried: "Cooking in the cafeteria, preparing meals for hundreds of people, and serving the food, will be very hard."

He had never thought of asking Jiang Yushan to help. Although her cooking was delicious, it was different from cooking in a big pot and it was too hard.

However, Huo Ci never expected that Jiang Yushan would actually take the initiative to bring it up.

"It's okay. I really like cooking, and I don't have much to do at home, so it's a good thing for me to go over and help." Jiang Yushan said quickly: "Besides, you are the leader, I should help you show your ability."

"..." Huo Ci looked at Jiang Yushan's smiling face, his heart beat faster again, and he stared at her without saying a word for a while.
