777: The Guangzhou Special Forces Brigade has a female team leader.

"They should be arriving soon. Let's go out first."

Xiao Niannian finished speaking and walked outside.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jing quickly followed her.

Liu Rong was far away and couldn't hear what they were saying, but she saw Lu Jing stop at the door and talk to the Female Comrade she had just seen.

This Female Comrade knows Lu Jing?

Seeing them walk outside, Liu Rong followed them out as well.

At this moment, many cars arrived in the courtyard.

"Captain Lu, Captain Xiao."

The Team Members jumped out of the cars.

Xiao Niannian nodded.

Meng Ning and Lin Shi also jumped down from the car.

"Captain Lu, Captain Xiao."

Lu Jing and Political Instructor Qin exchanged greetings with several people.

Political Instructor Qin smiled and shook hands with Lu Jing.

Liu Rong and her companions looked at these people.

Are these Lu Jing's comrades-in-arms? Why is their imposing manner so different from the people at their unit? It's as if they are radiating killing intent.

For some reason, when she looked at that woman just now, she felt a sense of dislike.

Yes, it was dislike.

Now, she saw Comrade Lu talking to that Female Comrade with a slight smile on his face, and the look in Comrade Lu's eyes when he gazed at Xiao Niannian was something she had never witnessed before.

"Let's go to the mess hall to eat first."

Xiao Niannian sensed the hostility, looked over, and saw Liu Rong staring at her.

Xiao Niannian ignored her and arrived at the entrance of the mess hall.

"Captain Xiao, Captain Lu, dinner is ready."

Shen Yan shouted happily.

She saw several iron racks here, and meat was already being grilled on them.

Shen Yan is so fast!

"Not bad."

Xiao Niannian praised Shen Yan.

"Heh, I called my brothers a while ago and told them. They delivered some, and I brought some myself."

The Capital City is his territory—oh, his hometown. What's wrong with him providing some food when his teammates pass through here?

They will leave the Capital City tomorrow and head to Heilongjiang Province, which will take several more days to reach.

The weather will get colder and colder on the rest of the journey, and there might even be heavy snow. At that point, the food and supplies they have might not be as good.

Xiao Niannian was surrounded by the female Team Members.

"Captain Xiao, we missed you so much."

"Captain Xiao."

Xiao Niannian looked at them and blew her whistle.

"Shh."

As soon as the whistle sounded, the previously bustling crowd immediately quieted down.

"Assemble."

Everyone immediately stood in front of the mess hall, forming a line in ten seconds.

Lu Jing spoke.

"Count off."

"One..."

"One, two..."

After everyone had assembled, they began to sing.

"Unity is strength..."

Xiao Niannian stood at the front and sang along.

Not far away, many comrades from other units were watching these people.

"Which unit are they from?"

"Their imposing manner feels very different."

"Why do they seem to be radiating killing intent?"

"Judging by their accents, they don't sound like they're from the North."

After finishing the song, everyone marched into the mess hall.

Liu Rong followed them in.

Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian lined up to get their food.

Shen Yan clapped his hands.

"Clap, clap, clap."

"comrades-in-arms, after you get your food, come here to pick up the barbecue. Two plates per table..."

Hearing this, many Team Members cheered.

"That's great."

"Xiao Yan, let us help you grill."

"Sure."

"Hurry up and come over."

Team Members who had a good relationship with Shen Yan stepped forward to help.

After Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing sat down, Shen Yan brought over two plates of barbecue.

Other tables were just starting to receive their plates, but this table was piled high with barbecue.

Shen Yan said happily.

"Captain Xiao, Captain Lu, Political Instructor Qin, please have a good taste. This was grilled using new seasoning..."

Military Doctor Shen glanced at his younger brother, then picked up a skewer from the top and tasted it.

Xiao Niannian took a bite.

"The taste is good."

Liu Rong got her food and sat down at a nearby table. Smelling the barbecue, she felt even hungrier.

Xiao Niannian saw a lot of mutton. The seasonings were what she had given to the team, usually used for grilling. It seemed Shen Yan had brought some of them.

"Captain Xiao, I bought the ingredients according to the recipe you gave me for these seasonings. Could you please make some more?" said the Cooking Squad Leader.

"Alright."

Xiao Niannian agreed.

Although it was called barbecue, some items were skewered, while others were stir-fried directly.

"The flavor is good. We are lucky today," Political Instructor Qin said with a smile.

Lu Jing, Political Instructor Qin, and Xiao Niannian chatted.

"Captain Xiao, your report was approved. When we go over this time, we can select some horses and send a few people to study..."

"That's great."

After Political Instructor Qin finished saying this, he brought up the topic of eating.

He saw Liu Rong and her companions lingering and talking nearby.

Liu Rong heard these Team Members calling Xiao Niannian "Captain Xiao."

Is this Female Comrade the Female Team Captain of the Special Forces Brigade? She had vaguely heard before that the Yangcheng Special Forces Brigade had a Womens Team, and the Female Team Captain was very formidable and had earned many merits.

But she didn't know the person's name. Now that she heard it, it must be this person.

Lu Jing's attitude toward such an outstanding person is different. Could it be that Lu Jing likes this Female Comrade?

Does he like someone as excellent as himself?

Xiao Niannian ate heartily. Although she had eaten many delicious dishes at home these past few days, barbecue was different. Before, it was always cola or beer with barbecue. She rarely drank beer these years. However, cola had previously withdrawn from the Great Xia market, but two years ago, it returned to build a factory and had started production.

But sales haven't fully rolled out yet; it's only available in some department stores, and the price is not cheap.

It costs four mao per bottle.

However, her Maternal Uncle and his group secured the sales rights, signing a forty-year contract, with priority for renewal after the forty years expire.

After mass production later, the price will drop to two mao per bottle.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Jing saw his wife suddenly freeze while eating, lost in thought.

"Oh, I was thinking about something."

Xiao Niannian snapped back to reality and continued eating.

Lu Jing picked several dishes Xiao Niannian liked from the plate and put them into her bowl.

Military Doctor Shen and Political Instructor Qin were long accustomed to this and continued eating.

Liu Rong widened her eyes when she saw this.

She saw Comrade Lu helping Xiao Niannian remove the meat from the bamboo skewers. Not only that, but if Xiao Niannian only took one bite of a skewer, Lu Jing would casually take it and finish it.

Her face flushed with anger.

How could this be? There must be something going on between them.

Xiao Niannian sensed someone staring at her. She looked over and saw it was Liu Rong. When Liu Rong was talking to Lu Jing earlier, Xiao Niannian could already tell that Liu Rong was interested in Lu Jing.

Xiao Niannian withdrew her gaze and continued eating.

She likes rice; Lu Jing can eat both rice and large meat buns. Shen Yan had provided extra food for them today, including not only regular dishes but also barbecue, large meat buns, and soy milk.

Drinking this warm soy milk, she felt incredibly happy.

"This soy milk is good."
