Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

A week later, Shen Chenyi's wound had healed quite well. During this time, Zhang Xi visited several times, and each time he fulfilled his matchmaker role, secretly trying to bring Yu Nuan and Shen Chenyi together. In this way, Yu Nuan became familiar with him, but she also got along well with Shen Chenyi. Yu Nuan discovered that although Shen Chenyi seemed cold and quiet, he could always keep up with any topic when chatting with her.

During this time, Yu Nuan suggested that Shen Chenyi could return to the army to recuperate, as there were doctors and more professional medical equipment there. However, Shen Chenyi refused. His reason was quite valid. Shen Chenyi said, "Your medical skills seem to be very good. My injury isn't serious. If it reopens on the way back to the army, all the time I've spent recuperating will have been wasted."

Yu Nuan agreed. She was very confident in her medical skills; without exaggeration, few could rival her even today. She had studied medicine her entire life, and even after arriving in this era, she hadn't slackened, continuing to learn, focusing on the most precious medical treasures. The collection in her spatial dimension was far from ordinary. Since Shen Chenyi had said so, Yu Nuan felt embarrassed to say anything more about kicking him out.

However, Shen Chenyi didn't leave, but Yu Yang did. Once Shen Chenyi was able to get out of bed and move around a little, he no longer needed Yu Yang and sent him back to his unit.

Yu Yang was also very reluctant to leave. Here, he didn't have to train hard every day, and there was delicious food to eat. Most importantly, Yu Yang couldn't bear to part with the food Yu Nuan made. Before leaving, he looked at Yu Nuan pitifully and said, "The thought of never being able to eat your cooking again makes me really not want to leave! Compared to your cooking, my wife's cooking is practically pig swill."

"Okay! Then you can stay here and never go back."

"No, no, no, Captain. I'll leave right away." Yu Yang hurriedly waved his hand, afraid that Shen Chenyi would really leave him there. To be honest, he had missed home a little these past few days. Yu Yang's current rank allows him to accompany his wife to the military base, so he brought her to the base after getting married last year. This year, his wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy, and his life is now happy and fulfilling.

Yu Nuan looked at Yu Yang with amusement. The more she spent with them, the more she felt that Shen Chenyi's teammates were all a bunch of clowns. Imagine the teammates being so lively and funny, while the captain was cold and serious—such a charming contrast. Yu Nuan couldn't help but laugh at the thought, wanting to burst out laughing, but with the main character in front of her, she couldn't show it so obviously, so she lowered her head and suppressed her laughter. However, Yu Nuan's glance at Shen Chenyi and subsequent chuckle made Shen Chenyi look at her with a puzzled expression and ask, "What's wrong?" He then checked himself to see if there was anything amiss.

"It's nothing," Yu Nuan replied, trying hard to suppress her laughter. She couldn't very well say that she was secretly having romantic feelings for him and his teammates! "Yu Yang, I made a few bottles of chili sauce a few days ago, I'll bring you two."

"Okay, okay. Anything you make, Yu Nuan, will definitely smell especially good."

Yu Nuan was also very curious about Yang, wondering how a southerner could love spicy food so much. Curious, she asked him.

"Yu Yang, why do you love spicy food so much! Besides, you're from Hainan. Everyone I know from Hainan doesn't eat spicy food. They can't stand even a little bit of spice." It's probably because the weather in the south is too hot, and eating spicy food makes it easier to get a sore throat, so everyone's food is relatively bland.

Yu Yang recalled the hardships he had endured to become who he is today, saying that it was all tears. "Back then, I was a native of Hainan. When I first joined the army, I had a comrade from Sichuan who could eat a lot of spicy food. Every time he came from home, he would bring his family's chili sauce. Even if he didn't have time to go back, his family would send it to him. Isn't winter in Northeast China cold? They would eat spoonfuls of chili sauce while I could only watch. Later, I couldn't stand the cold anymore, so I ate it with tears in my eyes. I slowly got used to it, and now I can't even eat without chili."

Yu Yang was filled with emotion as he recalled the past. Most of his comrades-in-arms from back then have now left the army and returned to their hometowns, scattered all over the country. He might never see them again.

Yu Nuan felt incredibly sorry for Yu Yang after hearing his story. Even the mildest chili peppers from Sichuan are extremely spicy for people who don't usually eat spicy food. And the ones Yu Yang ate at first were definitely not mildly spicy; he was just lucky he didn't get hurt.

"Yu Nuan, do you know what? The most important thing right now is that I'm not used to eating the food from my hometown anymore, and my wife can only cook southern food, and she can't eat spicy food. These two bottles of chili peppers you gave me have really saved my life." Yu Yang said exaggeratedly, as if Yu Nuan had given him some kind of magic pill.

Yu Nuan was amused by his playful tone. She said with a laugh, "I'll give you the rest of the chili sauce, so you can make more later." Yu Nuan went back to the kitchen, took out the five bottles of chili sauce she had made, and handed them to Yu Yang.

"I can't accept this." But his actions showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

"Get out of here with your food!" Shen Chenyi couldn't bear to watch his teammate's shameless behavior for food. If it weren't for his injured leg, he would have kicked him.

If Yu Yang knew Shen Chenyi's thoughts, he would retort that shame is nothing in the face of delicious food. Furthermore, Yu Yang's humility stems from his firm belief that Yu Nuan will definitely end up with the captain and will become their sister-in-law; why should they be polite when they're family?

"Alright, Captain, I'm off now. Take good care of yourself. Don't hesitate to ask Yu Nuan for help in the future. I'm off now." Yu Yang left satisfied with the chili sauce.

"Be careful on the road." After seeing Yu Yang off, Yu Nuan went over and helped Shen Chenyi back into the house.

On the second day of Shen Chenyi's recovery, Wang Xiaohai and Wang Shunzi's family came to thank him, bringing some nutritional supplements. Xiaohai's brother, Dahai, a well-known carpenter in the area, made a pair of crutches for Shen Chenyi to make it easier for him to get out of bed and walk.

Shen Chenyi's weight was mostly supported by his crutches, so Yu Nuan wasn't too tired. Back inside, Shen Chenyi took out some various receipts from his bag and gave them to Yu Nuan. He explained to her, "I'm sorry you had to spend money earlier. Yu Yang just loves to eat, and his wife doesn't know how to cook these things. You can keep these; I don't need them in the army."

"No need, no need, they're all homemade and worthless." Yu Nuan couldn't possibly accept them. Although she was indeed short of these receipts, she realized that even with money, you couldn't buy things without receipts, and Yu Nuan had no source for these receipts.

"Take it if I tell you to." Shen Chenyi forcefully shoved the receipt into Yu Nuan's hand, leaving no room for refusal.

Yu Nuan looked at the coupons and saw that they were for cloth and meat, and the rest were coupons for daily necessities, but the most were for meat and cloth. Yu Nuan thought that she could buy some meat to nourish him, and cloth coupons were also what she needed right now. The clothes in her space were all of good quality, and wearing them would be too conspicuous, so Yu Nuan urgently needed to buy some fabric from this era to sew clothes.
