315: The villagers donated several thousand kilograms of firewood, grain, and meat as a token of their gratitude.
"Okay." Military Doctor Shen's voice sounded.
"Platoon Leader Xiao, did you get all the medicine?" Xiao Niannian heard Military Doctor Shen's footsteps, and upon hearing him speak, she looked at Military Doctor Shen.
"I got it."
"Fang Qiang, Xiao Cui, take the medicine back. Platoon Leader Xiao, Military Doctor Lin, and I have something to take care of."
Fang Qiang, Xiao Cui, and the others immediately walked over, picked up the several large bags of medicine on the cabinet, and headed outside.
In her previous life, Xiao Niannian's medical skills were indeed quite good. There were doctors in her family, the kind with excellent medical skills, and she herself was willing to study hard. It could be said that she was the type of person who was both talented and very diligent.
Military Doctor Lin looked at Military Doctor Shen and Xiao Niannian, then began to ask about the suturing.
Two or three hours later, Xiao Niannian and Military Doctor Shen walked out of the hospital.
Just as they reached the door, Xiao Niannian saw Lu Jing walking over.
"Old Lu, are you here to change your dressing? Comrade Xiao just finished a meeting; your timing is perfect..."
Although he had said he wouldn't help Old Lu create opportunities, that was what he said yesterday. Today, he had changed his mind.
"Let's go, I'll go change your dressing."
Xiao Niannian heard Military Doctor Shen's words and looked at Lu Jing.
"Okay."
Xiao Niannian returned to the dormitory and saw Lu Jing had taken off his shirt; her face flushed again.
Xiao Niannian, don't let your mind wander; you are a doctor now...
A few seconds later, Xiao Niannian's composure returned, and she became calm again.
She quickly finished changing Lu Jing's dressing and bandaged it up.
After Lu Jing put on his clothes, his gaze remained fixed on Xiao Niannian.
Noticing Lu Jing's gaze, Xiao Niannian spoke up.
"Where is the medicine that Fang Qiang and Xiao Cui brought back? Military Doctor Shen and I need to check it carefully..."
Hearing this, Lu Jing replied.
"I'll have Old Shen bring it over."
The next second, Military Doctor Shen's footsteps sounded.
"Platoon Leader Xiao, I just went to get the medicine. Let's count these medicines..."
Xiao Niannian and Military Doctor Shen carefully checked all the medicine.
After checking, Military Doctor Shen said with a smile.
"Platoon Leader Xiao, you also know how to process medicinal herbs?"
Xiao Niannian nodded.
"That's perfect. I also requested quite a lot of medicinal herbs from the hospital these past two days; you can help me process them..."
"Okay."
In this weather, they would train outside for an hour or two, and inside for several hours.
"I heard that the firewood here is running low. Tomorrow, we need to go into the mountains to chop some firewood," Lu Jing's voice sounded.
Just as Lu Jing finished speaking, Xiao Cui's voice came from the doorway.
"Report."
Hearing Xiao Cui's words, Lu Jing said.
"Come in."
"Captain, the villagers in the surrounding area have brought a lot of firewood over on carts, and quite a few villagers have also carried firewood on their backs. They said it's a gift for Platoon Leader Xiao and us..."
"Report."
A soldier walked over to the door, saluted Lu Jing, and spoke.
"I am from Regiment Commander Liu's communications unit. Many members of the Masses have arrived at the main gate of the Division Headquarters. Regiment Commander Liu requests that Battalion Commander Lu and the others come over..."
"Okay, we'll be there immediately."
Xiao Niannian followed Lu Jing toward the main gate of the Division Headquarters.
When Xiao Niannian saw the Masses at the main gate of the Division Headquarters, she was a little surprised.
"I thought it would just be a few people, or maybe a dozen or so."
"Isn't there at least a hundred people here?"
Division Commander Yang and Regiment Commander Liu were all there.
"Battalion Commander Lu, Military Doctor Shen... these members of the Masses are here to thank you for saving the lives of those six villagers..."
After those six villagers returned to the commune, they told the commune about what had happened.
The communes and farms around here are mostly related by family, and Uncle Cui is also a very prestigious person in this commune...
The villagers originally wanted to carry some food from their homes, but after discussing it, they decided to bring more firewood, as they didn't have much other food to spare...
Division Commander Yang and the others had seen the Masses bring firewood before, but they never accepted it and would send Soldiers to the surrounding villages to help with chopping wood. The number of people today was more than ten times the usual.
"Captain Lu and Comrade Xiao are here..."
"Comrade Xiao, you are our lifesaver..."
Uncle Cui walked out from the crowd and, in his excitement, was about to kneel before Xiao Niannian.
"Uncle Cui, please get up..."
Xiao Niannian was quick and helped Uncle Cui up.
"We came today to thank you for saving our lives. We chopped this firewood in the mountains today..."
"Comrade Xiao, you must accept it; this is a token of our appreciation..."
"Commanders, you must accept this firewood."
"Commanders, these are the steamed buns and flatbreads we made..."
Xiao Niannian was surrounded by a group of Grandparents and Aunts.
"comrades, please listen to Battalion Commander Lu and Platoon Leader Xiao..."
Division Commander Yang was grinning from ear to ear, but he still spoke loudly.
"Let Platoon Leader Xiao speak; this rescue was entirely their doing..."
Lu Jing's gaze turned to Xiao Niannian.
"Everyone, Grandparents, Uncles, and Aunts, thank you, but we cannot accept your kind gesture..."
In times like these, no family was wealthy. During the New Year, many families had to borrow grain from the Production Brigade to get by, or even dig for wild vegetables...
"Platoon Leader Xiao, you must accept it. We have no other way to repay you for saving our lives..."
"Platoon Leader Xiao, you saved my father's life. You must accept this firewood..."
Xiao Niannian looked at these villagers. She understood that they were sincerely grateful, but she could not accept this firewood.
Their Soldiers had better physical stamina than the ordinary Masses, and it was much easier for them to chop wood than for the villagers.
Seeing that the villagers were insistent, Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing and said.
"Let's pay for this firewood and buy it."
This firewood probably weighed several thousand catties.
"Okay."
Lu Jing nodded immediately.
Division Commander Yang heard what Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing said and spoke up.
"How could we let you pay? The Division Headquarters will cover this cost..."
Division Commander Yang immediately called over the person in charge and had the Soldiers deliver the firewood to Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian's dormitory.
Division Commander Yang did not let anyone accept the cured meat, vegetables, flour, or grain.
"Thank you..."
Watching the villagers leave, Xiao Niannian recalled the scene during the flood relief efforts before.
Back then, their special forces team wasn't originally required to participate in disaster relief, but they had applied to join on their own...
When they left, they had intended to leave quietly, but the Masses discovered them. The Masses threw a lot of food onto their vehicles, and there were even some live chickens, ducks, and geese...
"Battalion Commander Lu, Platoon Leader Xiao, the Division Commander is looking for you..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Niannian followed him to the Division Headquarters.
Division Commander Yang and the Commanders from the Division Headquarters were sitting in the office.
Several people were arguing.
"We can't just let them go like this..."
