Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1443: Unexpected Package ( 2 )
Under everyone's curious gazes, Xi Yaoyang used the letter knife to open the big package. The moment he opened the box, they saw several bags of dried mushrooms, several slabs of salted pork belly, and a basket of eggs.
Beside those, there were also two heads of cabbage, a bag of mixed chili peppers, a bag of peanuts and soybeans, and also a basket of cucumbers and eggplants.
After he took out the items, he saw several boxes of medicines. Opening the boxes, he saw that the medicine was not only wound ointment and scar removal cream, but also antibiotics.
Besides the medicine, there was also a box of soap bars, liquid soap, and shampoo. Taking out the soap, Xi Yaoyang noticed another box filled with cosmetics and skin care products, especially prepared by Lu Jueyu for his girlfriend.
When the soldiers saw this, they were confused, and one of them asked, "Captain Xi, why did Captain Li send you these women's products?"
Xi Yaoyang put the cosmetics and skin care products aside while replying, "This is for your sister-in-law."
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. They had never heard that he had any girlfriend before. So, where did this sister-in-law come from? frёewebηovel.cѳm
Ignoring their shock, Xi Yaoyang continued to take out the things from the box. At the bottom of the box, there were several jars of meat sauces, candied fruits, fruit jams, and also several strings of Chinese sausages.
When he thought that that was everything, he saw two bottles of tonic wine prepared by Li Chenmo for the General.
The last item he took out was actually a jar of powder. Opening the jar, he took a sniff and was surprised to find that the powder smelled like a mix of ginseng and mint.
He read the letter again and noticed that this jar was 500-year-old ginseng powder mixed with several medicinal plants that could be taken orally to nourish health after being mixed with water or sprinkled on top of a wound to be used as medicine.
This jar was prepared especially for him, as he often went on dangerous missions.
Standing near the desk, Xi Yaoyang finally understood why the package was packed in such a big box. With so many items sent to him, he smiled helplessly.
After putting the letter back in the envelope, he divided the items that were intended for the General and Wan Jiaojiao.
When he turned around, he saw that his room was already filled with so many people. Some of the soldiers were his subordinates, and some were his friends.
Seeing their envious gazes, he smiled and took out the vegetables, chili peppers, eggs, two strings of sausages, and two slabs of salted pork.
Afterward, he handed those things to his subordinates and said, "Send this to the cafeteria and tell the Chef to add this for tonight's meal."
The moment he said this, everyone was stunned. Holding onto the things, his subordinates said, "Captain Xi, these things were sent by Captain Li for you. You should leave some for yourself."
Hearing this, Xi Yaoyang chuckled and said, "It's not like I won't eat it. When it's cooked, I will go to the cafeteria to eat."
"These things can't be stored for long. Rather than let them rot, it's better to share them with everyone. Go, send them over before I regret it," he added.
When the soldiers heard this, they laughed and said, "Thank you, Captain Xi! Thank you, Captain Li!"
After they left, the rest of the people also dispersed. Everyone was eager to have a taste of the vegetables grown by the famous Captain Li Chenmo and couldn't wait for dinner.
While everyone was talking about this matter, Xi Yaoyang packed the tonic wine, cosmetics, skin care, fruit jams, dried mushrooms, and the salted pork into a smaller box.
When he was done, he stored the rest of the items in his cabinet and went to take a shower. Feeling refreshed, he took the smaller box and went to visit his girlfriend.
At the same time, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo were relaxing on the backyard balcony while eating steamed edamame.
While she was eating, her husband was busy peeling the edamame for her. Looking at the clear sky, Lu Jueyu suddenly said, "Husband, the package and letter should have arrived at the military barracks by now, right?"
Nodding at her, Li Chenmo replied, "Yaoyang should have received the package. As for the grains and vegetables we sent to him, they should arrive tomorrow."
Turning to look at her husband, Lu Jueyu asked, "Husband, are you sure it's alright to send so much grains and vegetables over? Will it make the leaders suspicious?"
Li Chenmo smiled and replied, "There shouldn't be any problem. I have explained to Yaoyang about the sources of the grains. What's more, with the current situation of food shortage, the leaders won't pry into the source of the grains."
"The grain consumption in the military barracks is very high. Not to mention that their summer harvest failed, and the weather in their area is not good for growing vegetables. Most of their vegetables wilted and died."
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu said, "I just don't know if the vegetables we put in the jar with water will still be fresh until they reach the barracks."
Li Chenmo smiled and replied, "Didn't you put some spiritual herbs powder in the water? It should be able to keep the vegetables fresh for a longer time."
After hearing her husband's words, Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "That's true."
The next moment, she let out a long sigh and said while rubbing her flat belly, "Husband, I feel like my intelligence keeps dropping since I became pregnant. What if I become a fool after giving birth?"
When he heard this, Li Chenmo didn't make fun of her and hugged her instead.
He placed his hand on top of hers and said, "No matter what you become, I will be with you. You are my beloved wife. It's impossible for me to dislike you."
