Chapter 46: Dinner at the Captain’s House

The little soldiers who passed by saw Lu Zechen returning, and they were all excited, stopping to greet him.

Lu Zechen nodded and greeted them, then strode towards the captain’s office.

“Come in.”

Lu Zechen handed the package to the three people, and he immediately pushed the door open and saluted when he saw Captain Gao.

Seeing Lu Zechen who had recovered, Gao Zhuo immediately put down the pen in his hand and said excitedly, “You’re alright?”

Lu Zechen was the soldier he was most proud of. When he was injured, he heard from the doctor that he couldn’t be cured, and he was so anxious that he almost beat up the doctor.

Although he had already received a letter saying that his eyes could see, he couldn’t let go of his heart until he saw the doctor’s report and saw him in person.

“Yes.”

“Show me the hospital report.”

Gao Zhuo stood up and walked to Lu Zechen’s side, looking him up and down.

Lu Zechen took out the physical examination report from his pocket.

“Good, good, good, the bitter end is over.”

Gao Zhuo patted Lu Zechen on the shoulder and said excitedly.

Gao Zhuo chatted with Lu Zechen about this and that. When he learned that his parents were not his biological parents, and that he was thrown into the firewood room without food or drink when he was injured, he was so angry that he almost smashed the table. Then he heard that the reason why he recovered so quickly was because his fiancée worked tirelessly to find medicine and take care of him, and also gave Lu Zechen a lot of Ganoderma lucidum. His eyes twitched, and his expression became complicated.

He obviously didn’t believe this statement. Ganoderma lucidum is not a panacea, it’s impossible to cure a blind eye that has been declared useless by a doctor.

But thinking about the current situation, maybe this kid found someone to treat him. Since he’s alright, he won’t ask any more questions.

Fortunately, he didn’t let this kid retire at that time. He was really reluctant to let him go. This talented guy came back after only a month.

“You’re alright now, can you come back?”

Lu Zechen had just recovered, and he had hardly taken any leave in the past few years. This time, he wanted to take this opportunity to rest for a while and cultivate his relationship with the little girl.

“Rest for a while longer, spend more time with the little girl.”

“Oh, the iron tree is blooming, you know how to care for people now. Alright, I’ll give you another month, take good care of yourself.”

“Thank you, Captain.”

“Was it your little gadget that discovered the incident with Mayor Su last time?”

“Yes, she discovered it when she came to the city.”

“She’s quite clever. The higher-ups gave you a second-class group merit for that mission. Add this time’s merit, you should have good news this time. Go back and rest well, I’ll try my best to get it for you. Also, I’ve collected the bonuses for these two missions for you.”

He said, taking a file bag from the cabinet and giving it to him.

“Thank you, Captain.”

“You wait for me, we’ll go home together, we’ll have a drink tonight, I’m happy today.”

“I’ll go by myself later, I’ll go see those kids first.”

“Alright, come over early tonight.”

Lu Zechen came out of the office and saw his subordinates guarding the door.

“What are you all doing here? Not training?”

Lu Zechen cleared his throat and said.

“We miss our platoon leader, we came to see you.”

Everyone saw with their own eyes that their platoon leader had recovered, and they cheered happily. They chatted with everyone for a while, and then distributed the food that Xia Ning’an had prepared for them.

“Platoon leader, you’re so kind this time, you even bought us so much delicious food.” A little soldier’s mouth was stuffed like a hamster’s, but he didn’t forget to tease Lu Zechen.

“This is what your sister-in-law asked me to bring, eat more.”

“Wow, your wife is so nice!”

Lu Zechen looked at his soldiers, a smile playing on his lips.

On his way to Captain Gao’s house that night, he brought some fruit and a box of Ganoderma lucidum that Xia Ning’an had bought. These fruits looked very good, not common in the market, and were for the children.

He arrived at Captain Gao’s house.

Captain Gao’s wife, Yang Yi, was so happy to see Lu Zechen that she shed tears.

“You’re finally alright. You don’t know how worried your sister-in-law has been these days.”

She and Gao Zhuo truly admired Lu Zechen, and she had already considered him as her own brother.

When she heard that Lu Zechen was injured, she fainted.

She stayed at the hospital for a day while Lu Zechen was hospitalized.

She also sent Lu Zechen a bowl of nourishing soup every day while he was in the hospital.

“I’ve recovered, sister-in-law, don’t worry, there are no after-effects.”

“That’s good, come in quickly, dinner will be ready soon.” Yang Yi quickly wiped away her tears and invited him in.

“Thank you, sister-in-law.” He said, handing the fruit to his sister-in-law.

“We’re all family, why are you bringing things? Come in and sit down.”

“My partner prepared it, for the children to have a sweet treat.”

“Oh, this partner is really good.” She said, then grabbed the spatula and rushed to the kitchen.

There was still food stewing in the pot.

Yang Yi cooked a few dishes with the ingredients at home, mainly because Gao Zhuo didn’t tell her beforehand.

If he had told her, she would have gone to buy some more delicious food to replenish Lu Zechen.

Gao Zhuo told her to just cook, they were all family, just to have a good time together. He hadn’t seen this kid in a long time.

When he entered the house, he saw Gao Zhuo’s two children playing marbles on the floor.

“Xiao Jie, Dong Dong, look who’s here.”

The two children turned around and saw Lu Zechen, they immediately got up and rushed over.

“Uncle Chen, you’re back, I missed you so much.” Dong Dong ran towards Lu Zechen with his little short legs.

“Uncle Chen, Dad said you were injured, are you alright now?” Xiao Jie also ran towards him.

Lu Zechen bent down and hugged the two brothers, picked them up and sat down on the sofa.

He took two oranges from the bag, peeled one for each of them.

At the dinner table, Yang Yi enthusiastically served Lu Zechen food, of course, she didn’t neglect her husband either.

This meal was a feast.

After dinner, Yang Yi heard about Xia Ning’an, and she was genuinely happy for Lu Zechen. This poor child finally had someone to love him, who could stay by his side and take care of him when he was injured. A young girl even ran around looking for medicine for him. This girl must be a good girl, and Lu Zechen’s life will get better and better in the future.

Lu Zechen opened the box containing the Ganoderma lucidum, and Gao Zhuo and his wife gasped when they saw the contents. Such a large and well-preserved Ganoderma lucidum was rare. It seemed that this kid wasn’t lying, he really ate a lot of Ganoderma lucidum, otherwise why would he bring such a good one.

“Sister-in-law, you and Captain Gao should soak this Ganoderma lucidum in water and drink it. This fresh one has high medicinal value. Don’t be reluctant to eat it, if you let it dry, the medicinal effect will be affected. Just soak it in water and drink it, don’t use boiling water, it will affect the medicinal effect, or you can make it into pills, I’ll make it for you when I come back.”

“You stinky kid, you think this is Chinese cabbage, you can just make it. Keep this for yourself, I’m strong, I don’t need to replenish.”

“If you don’t eat it, sister-in-law will eat it. Besides, fresh ones don’t last long. Your hidden injury should also be treated with some good things. This is what An An specially asked me to bring for you, she has more.”

“Your partner is a good one, you have to treat her well in the future.” Gao Zhuo said, patting Lu Zechen on the shoulder.
