"Report to the chief, your things have been retrieved." Guard Xiao Li walked into the office carrying a net bag and stood at attention.

Zhu Kaixuan was in a good mood. He nodded and smiled at Xiao Li: "Thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Li immediately saluted: "You're welcome, this is what I should do."

He has grown a lot during these days with the leader.

The leader is usually humble and never loses his temper for no reason. Although he is strict in disciplining the soldiers, he always teaches them patiently when they don't understand.

Not to mention that since Comrade Bai Nuo came to the family compound, his and the orderly Xiao Wang's living conditions have improved a lot. From time to time, they are taken home by the leaders for meals. The cooking skills of Deputy Commander Fang and Comrade Bai Nuo are really known to everyone who has eaten them. He even feels that he has gained weight recently.

Who in the guard corps doesn’t envy him and Xiao Wang now?

He wouldn't change his job even if he was promoted.

Xiao Li carefully placed the net bag on the coffee table in the middle of the sofa, then turned around to fill the teapot with hot water - he is truly a young man with a lively eye, hardworking and eager to learn.

"Dad, what is this?"

Bai Nuo approached the net bag curiously, and a burst of hot steam hit her face, accompanied by the rich aroma of sauce, which made her stomach growl.

Only then did I remember that I had rushed back from Changping County before dawn and had not yet had breakfast.

Zhu Kaixuan helplessly tapped his daughter's smooth forehead. "You're still asking me? Did you send something good to Old Kang again? I asked Xiaokang to bring it here early this morning. There was no one in the family compound, and the guard at the gate called to ask for instructions, so I asked Xiao Li to go get it."

Bai Nuo then remembered the two bear paws that were delivered to Uncle Kang's shop yesterday at noon, and couldn't help laughing.

"Huahua and Fugui went deep into the mountains and hunted a big bear. When Fang Meng and I found them, the bear was already dead. We kept the skin and other parts of the bear, but we couldn't handle the paws. We happened to go to Uncle Kang's for dinner yesterday, so we took them with us. Unexpectedly, Uncle Kang refused to keep any of them and insisted on preparing them and sending them back."

He took a deep breath and his eyes lit up: "Uncle Kang's cooking skills are amazing, it smells so good!"

Zhu Kaixuan deeply agreed. As early as the age of fifteen, when he almost blew up his father-in-law's kitchen for the first time, he was deeply impressed by Lao Kang's cooking skills.

The little girl looked up at her father and said with a smile, "Something happened at the market yesterday afternoon. I was busy all night and forgot about it."

Zhu Kaixuan looked at his daughter's greedy face and smiled indulgently, "Look how greedy my daughter is. Xiao Li, go tell Xiao Wang to go to the kitchen to see if there's any rice or steamed buns, and bring some back."

"No, no!" Bai Nuo quickly stopped Xiao Li and turned to his father, "Dad, don't bother me so early in the morning. I'm going to go back to the family compound to have a quick breakfast and then catch up on some sleep. I haven't slept all day and all night, and now I can't taste anything I eat."

"Bear paws are hard to come by. Please send one to Grandpa and Grandma to nourish them. Please invite Uncle Wen (Chief of Staff) and Uncle Wang (Political Commissar) to taste the remaining one tonight. It's cold out now, so it won't go bad if you keep it overnight. Fang Meng should be back tonight, so I'll add a few more dishes then."

Before Zhu Kaixuan could object, Bai Nuo had already taken out a small porcelain basin wrapped in a towel from his net bag and held it in his arms. He waved as he walked towards the door: "That's it! You're busy with work, I'll be home first!"

"This child!" Zhu Kaixuan looked at his daughter's departing back, feeling helpless and moved.

The child now knows how to think about his grandparents at home, and this thought makes Zhu Kaixuan feel warm in his heart.

As soon as he was happy, he couldn't suppress the urge to show off. He turned to Xiao Li and asked, "Are we going to the headquarters for a meeting today?"

"Yes, Chief. The meeting is at 10 a.m., so we will be in time if we leave the military region at 9 a.m." The army commander's exclusive jeep has been modified by Comrade Bai Nuo, and its speed has increased a lot. It has also been equipped with seat belts and shock absorption systems, so he no longer has to leave two hours in advance for a meeting.

Zhu Kaixuan glanced at his watch and raised his brows slightly. "I haven't been home for a long time. There's nothing to do here this morning. Let's go and take this basin of bear paws to the old man and the old lady first."

He first called the No. 1 Military Region compound to confirm that the old man had no other urgent matters except the regular military meeting at 10 o'clock in the morning, and then asked the two elders to wait at home.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Kaixuan picked up his military coat and took Xiao Li out.

The eldest granddaughter prepared such good things for her grandparents, shouldn’t the old couple praise them well?

At least they should reward their eldest granddaughter with some good things!

He is serious about supporting his parents with his daughter!!!
