Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

Upon hearing this, Yu Nuan didn't know how to respond. Firstly, Yu Nuan felt that they weren't very familiar with each other, having only met twice. Secondly, to be honest, Yu Nuan had great respect for these soldiers. No matter how dangerous it was, they always rushed to the front line to protect the people behind them and shield everyone from all storms.

The two remained silent in the room. Yu Nuan was not the talkative type, and Shen Chenyi took the principle of "silence is golden" to the extreme, so the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Actually, Shen Chenyi wanted to chat with Yu Nuan, but he was usually not a talkative person, and he didn't know what to talk about with the girl he liked, so this is the situation he is in now.

After a while, Yu Nuan noticed it was dinnertime. She quickly got up, told Shen Chenyi, and returned to the backyard. Zhang Xi and the others had already finished cleaning, and Song Guodong was gathering firewood to heat the kang (heated brick bed). Seeing Yu Nuan, he said, "Dr. Li, you're back."

"Hmm, you've finished cleaning?"

"The cleaning is finished."

"Okay, I'll go get two quilts. Once the kang (heated brick bed) is warm, we can move your team leader over."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Dr. Li."

"It's nothing," Yu Nuan said with a smile, waving her hand.

Back in her room, she took out a quilt from the closet, secretly glad that she had asked the village women to sew her several extra quilts in case someone came to visit.

After getting everything ready, Yu Nuan went into the kitchen to prepare a meal. Looking at the food on display, she pondered what to eat. She definitely couldn't take out the food from her spatial storage; a soldier's keen senses would arouse suspicion if she brought out anything too fancy. Yu Nuan looked left and right, finding some items that weren't too suspicious.

Yu Nuan was preparing to cook when she heard someone calling her. She went out and saw that it was Wu Xianya.

"Sister Xianya, have you eaten yet? I'm just about to cook."

"I haven't eaten yet. The village is distributing wild boar meat right now. Everyone's at the stage. I thought you probably didn't know, so I came to find you to go together. Zhang Nana and the others have already gone."

"Oh? So fast? I thought it was after dinner."

"We only get to eat meat a few times a year, so how can we not be eager when we finally get our hands on some? Alright, let's hurry up and go, or we'll miss out." Wu Xianya was so anxious that she wanted to drag Yu Nuan away.

"Let's go then."

There are soldiers in the front yard now, so Yu Nuan doesn't lock the door and isn't afraid of losing things.

When Yu Nuan arrived, a crowd had gathered under the stage. Men, women, and children from the village had all come. The children weren't afraid of the pig being slaughtered; they watched excitedly from the sidelines, their mouths watering at the thought of eating the delicious meat soon. The women around them also beamed with smiles, discussing how to divide the meat when it was their turn. They knew they couldn't finish it all in one meal; everyone was short of food, and the housewives had to be very frugal.

"Yu Nuan, Sister Xianya, over here." Zhang Nana saw Yu Nuan and Wu Xianya and waved to them.

The villagers had always kept a clear distinction between themselves and the educated youth. Although Yu Nuan's position as village doctor changed somewhat, it wasn't a big difference. The villagers' attitudes towards the educated youth other than Yu Nuan remained largely the same, so this time the educated youth stood together as a group.

"Dr. Li is here."

"Dr. Li."

……

Everyone saw Yu Nuan and greeted her warmly.

"Yu Nuan, Sister Xian Ya. You're finally here! If you'd been any later, we wouldn't have gotten any meat." Zhang Nana said as Yu Nuan and Wu Xian Ya made their way through the crowd to her side.

Everyone was incredibly enthusiastic about getting their share of the meat, arriving early and waiting on the sidelines.

However, Yu Nuan knew that Zhang Nana was joking. The village chief and the brigade leaders had already planned the amount to be distributed to each person, so there would be no shortage.

“It hasn’t started yet, and we’re not late.” Just as Yu Nuan finished speaking, she heard the village chief standing on the stage ring an ancient bell.

Normally, when there's something to announce, the village chief would ring a bell to remind everyone to pay attention. Everyone's attention turned to the village chief, who announced loudly, "Now, let's begin distributing the meat. Everyone line up properly. Don't worry, every household will get some."

At the village chief's command, everyone lined up in an orderly fashion. However, there were a few troublesome village women who all wanted to be at the front of the line, and they were even fighting over a spot.

"What are you doing? If you don't line up properly, we won't give your family any meat."

The village chief held considerable authority among the villagers. Hearing his reprimand, the group dared not cause any more trouble. They could only look at each other, reluctantly giving up their positions and lining up.

"Look, we've arrived at the perfect time," Yu Nuan said to Zhang Nana as soon as the village chief finished speaking.

“Yes, yes, you’re right. Let’s hurry up and line up so we can get the meat sooner and eat it sooner. I feel like I’ve almost forgotten what meat tastes like.” Zhang Nana said, making funny gestures, which made the other educated youth laugh. But Zhang Nana was right about one thing: getting the meat sooner meant they could have a big meal sooner tonight.

When it was Yu Nuan's turn, the village chief gave her more than twice as much meat as the others.

Yu Nuan looked at the village chief with a puzzled expression and asked, "Village chief, is this a mistake? I can't possibly get this much by myself."

“That’s right, Li Zhiqing. Don’t you have a soldier in your family who is recovering from his injuries? The extra food is to help him recover.”

Those around him knew that they were able to eat meat this time because of the soldiers, so no one objected to giving it to him to help him recover. They even urged Yu Nuan to take it. Unable to refuse, Yu Nuan took a large piece of meat back with her, weighing more than three pounds.

Yu Nuan looked at the wild boar meat in front of her, pondering what to do with it. Wild boar meat is mostly lean, and it's also harder to cook thoroughly than domesticated pork.

After carefully selecting the ingredients at home, Yu Nuan decided to make pork stew with vermicelli, a famous Northeastern dish, for which she already had the necessary ingredients. She also steamed a basket of buns and shared some spare ribs with Yu Nuan, making a perfect rib soup. Considering there was still a patient, Yu Nuan found some rice she had bought at the grain station before, intending to make some meat porridge. Since it wasn't as good as the rice in her space, she had only eaten it once and then put it away.

After Yu Nuan finished cooking, she went to call Zhang Xi and the others to eat.

"You can move your captain to the house in the backyard now. Then you can eat."

"There's no need to cook for them," Shen Chenyi said to Yu Nuan.

"That's right, there's no need to make it for us, we're going back to our unit soon."

"Please finish eating before you leave. I've already prepared everything. The village chief gave me extra meat today, so there's some for you too."

Yu Nuan directed the group to carry Shen Chenyi to the heated room, then brought the food to the table and invited everyone to sit down. After everything was ready, she said, "You can eat first. If you're still hungry, there's more in the pot. I'll bring your captain's food into the room."

“Miss Li, please sit down and eat too. We can handle this little thing.” As he spoke, Wang Zhi tried to take the rice bowl from Yu Nuan, but Zhang Xi stopped him.

"Then trouble you."
