Chapter 123 Here, the biggest enemy is loneliness.
Lu Hongxuan also had a smile on his face. At this time of year in previous years, the weather was very cold. He ate in the cafeteria every day. Although there were hot meals, he would get tired of them sometimes. He was alone in his room after returning to it. Occasionally, he would chat with his former comrades and classmates. But everyone had their own lives. It was impossible for them to chat with him every day. Here, the biggest enemy was loneliness.
Although the regiment had wanted him to be transferred back to the county town, Lu Hongxuan had been unwilling to do so. He still couldn't let go of that incident. He felt very guilty. He wanted to protect this place well.
"Lu Hongxuan, hurry up and eat! Why are you in a daze?" Su Nuo suddenly found that Lu Hongxuan was in a daze. And there was a sad expression on his face. What was going on? Did he remember something sad?
Lu Hongxuan came back to his senses after hearing what Su Nuo said. He smiled at Su Nuo and ate his food in big mouthfuls.
After eating, Instructor Fang immediately took the bowl and went to the kitchen. Sunora didn't even stop him.
"Let him wash!" Lu Hongxuan grabbed Su Nuo and said.
"This is not good!" Su Nuo thought that with only a few bowls, Instructor Fang came to eat, so he was also a guest. How could it make sense to let a guest wash the dishes?
"Sister-in-law, please don't treat me as an outsider. In the past, whoever was responsible for cooking would wash the dishes. You've worked hard, and I'll wash the dishes from now on." Instructor Fang is now extremely envious of Lu Hongxuan. He also likes to eat the food cooked by Su Nuo. If washing a few dishes can be exchanged for two delicious meals a day, this is a good deal in any way.
She originally wanted to clean the table and floor, but Lu Hongxuan snatched them away. Su Nuo had no choice but to sit and watch.
Instructor Fang quickly finished washing the dishes.
"I'm going back! Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law!"
"Instructor Fang, walk slowly!"
Instructor Fang felt more and more that his idea was good. He decided to wash the dishes himself in the future. Then Lu Hongxuan would have no excuse to refuse him to eat here. Besides, he and Lu Hongxuan were brothers in distress before, eating at other people's homes every day. Or he would ask the chef to come to his room or Lu Hongxuan's room to cook. Now that Su Nuo was cooking, Instructor Fang was very happy.
Su Nuo watched Lu Hongxuan finish his work and asked him.
"I heard from other sisters-in-law that you will go on patrol again before the New Year this year?" Lu Hongxuan nodded.
"We patrol every month. The number of times varies! We have to go before the New Year." Lu Hongxuan replied.
"How long does it take for you to patrol once?" Sunuo asked.
"Basically seven days and seven nights!"
"So long! Do you want to go too?" Su Nuo became even more worried when she heard Lu Hongxuan answer that it would take seven days and seven nights.
"I'm going. Deputy Company Commander Cheng and I take turns leading the team. Soldiers draw lots every time. Or apply to go on their own!"
"But I heard that this journey is very dangerous!" Su Nuo didn't mean to stop Lu Hongxuan from going, but he felt it was very dangerous. "If you go, you must protect your own safety."
"Don't worry. There are 20 to 30 of us. There will be no problem!" Lu Hongxuan would not tell Su Nuo how dangerous the journey would be. "I will protect myself!"
In the past few years, they have only reported good news and not bad news. How could there be no danger along the way?
Su Nuo heard Lu Hongxuan's answer and didn't say anything else. She knew their responsibilities and she couldn't make a fuss to stop him from going.
Su Nuo reached out and hugged Lu Hongxuan, holding him quietly without saying anything else.
