After handing it over to the system, the three brothers knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 115: Light Cake
Nan Qiao hurried to the logistics department with a large bag of sorted supplies and met the director of the logistics department.
The minister looked at the things Nan Qiao brought and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Miss, this is not allowed. We have a rule that we cannot take even a needle or thread from the people. You should take these things back."
Nan Qiao quickly explained, "Minister, you misunderstood. I didn't take these things for any other reason. I just wanted to see if I could use them to get a chance to help out in the logistics department."
"I know everyone is having a hard time right now, and I want to do my part, but I don't have any other skills, so I thought I'd contribute these supplies I've saved so I can have the opportunity to help support the soldiers."
The head of the logistics department was slightly stunned after hearing Nan Qiao's words. He lowered his head and thought for a moment. Thinking that they were indeed short of manpower at the moment and that this girl was sincere, he nodded in agreement.
He said, "Okay, young lady, since you are so kind, I agree that you can stay in the logistics department to help. However, these supplies are to be considered as your voluntary donations and cannot be used as a condition for exchange."
When Nan Qiao heard this, a delighted smile immediately appeared on her face. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Minister, I'll listen to you. It would be great if I could stay and help!"
At this time, she picked up a few packets of compressed biscuits and reminded the minister, "Minister, these are compressed biscuits. One piece can keep you going for a whole day."
"But don't eat too much at one time, and don't drink a lot of water right after eating, otherwise it will cause stomach expansion, which may be life-threatening."
The logistics director nodded seriously, "I understand. I will remind them to be careful when distributing these compressed biscuits."
Then Nan Qiao started to get busy with the logistics troops. By noon, their soldiers had not eaten a grain of rice or drunk a drop of water.
The logistics minister quickly organized everyone to distribute food to the soldiers.
This time, the items to be distributed were steamed buns and pickles. Nan Qiao followed the logistics minister's skillful technique and handed the steamed buns and small bags of pickles to the soldiers one by one.
The logistics director kindly told everyone to eat slowly while distributing the guangbing, saying, "Don't be in a hurry. One guangbing per person. Everyone will have a share."
When the food was almost all distributed, Nan Qiao looked at the only pancakes in the soldiers' hands and felt a little puzzled. She turned to the head of the logistics department and asked, "Head, we only give everyone one pancake a day. Will it be enough to eat?"
The minister sighed softly and replied, "Alas, although one of these light cakes can keep you going for a day, it's really not very nutritious. But supplies are tight right now, so this is the only way to ensure everyone doesn't go hungry."
After distributing the Guangbing, the minister also handed one to Nan Qiao. Nan Qiao took it, but was reluctant to eat it, and instead gently put it in her bag.
Then, she quickly took off her combat uniform, put on the military uniform with many patches on it, and plunged into the busy work of the logistics department.
She first helped to count the remaining supplies, carefully counting the few packages of compressed biscuits, the number of moong cakes, and the number of packages of pickles, and carefully recorded each data so as to know how much food could be provided to the soldiers in the future.
Then, he and other logistics personnel carried heavy water bags, traveling back and forth between the camp and the water source to ensure that the soldiers had enough drinking water.
Even though her patched military uniform was soaked with sweat, she did not slack off at all.
Then she followed the minister to tidy up the worn-out tents and bedding, carefully checking for any damage.
Those who could repair it quickly took out needles and thread to mend it, so that the soldiers could have a relatively warm and comfortable place to rest at night.
Having just finished the work at hand, Wang Qi walked towards Nan Qiao with clothes in his hands and steps slightly hesitant.
As he approached, his face flushed slightly, and with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, he asked softly, "Qiaoqiao, um... can you help me sew my clothes?"
Nan Qiao nodded and reached out to take the clothes.
A closer look revealed a large tear in the shoulder of his military jacket.
Without much hesitation, she turned around to find the needle and thread, then sat aside and started sewing.
Her movements were not very skillful. She stared at the seam and tried hard to sew stitch by stitch, frowning slightly from time to time because things were not going smoothly.
After a long time, it was finally sewn.
Nan Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and handed the sewn clothes to Wang Qi.
Wang Qi took it and looked at it. His eyes widened immediately and he couldn't help but jokingly said, "Hey, Nan Qiao, is that a caterpillar you're sewing? It's so crooked."
Nan Qiao's face flushed instantly, and she mumbled a little embarrassedly: "I... I've never sewn clothes before, so it's great that I can sew it for you, so don't be disgusted."
As she spoke, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Wang Qi scratched his head, a somewhat innocent smile on his face, and quickly said, "Qiaoqiao, how could I dislike the clothes you sewed for me? Your willingness to help me is already a great help to me, and I can't express my gratitude enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach started to growl at an inopportune time.
Wang Qi suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Seeing Nan Qiao's gaze on him, he suddenly had an idea and said jokingly with a grin, "Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm not hungry. I just saw you were here and wanted to join in the fun and talk to you."
Nan Qiao felt a pang of sadness when she heard this. She sighed softly and said with understanding, "Only one flatbread a day, how can you feel full?"
"Besides, you guys are all in the growth stage, you can't afford to be undernourished."
As she spoke, Nan Qiao took out the mooncake that was originally reserved for herself from her bag without hesitation and handed it to Wang Qi, her eyes full of concern.
Seeing this, Wang Qi quickly took a step back and waved his hands repeatedly to refuse, "Qiaoqiao, this won't do. This is your Guangbing, how can I take it?"
"You have to fill your stomach too. I can't take your rations."
Nan Qiao opened her mouth and was about to make up an excuse saying that the mooncakes were extra from her so that Wang Qi could accept them with peace of mind.
But who would have thought that before she could even utter a single word, Wang Qi seemed to have seen through her inner thoughts.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Don't bother making up stories. Here, everyone only gets one Guangbing a day. Don't try to trick me into thinking that's too much. I'm not that easy to fool."
Nan Qiao was suddenly speechless, and an embarrassed blush appeared on her face. She awkwardly withdrew her hand holding the mooncake, feeling helpless and guilty.
She knew that Wang Qi was right. In this situation of material scarcity, everyone's rations were strictly distributed, so there was no surplus.
