794: Gunshots rang out in the street.

Xiao Niannian bought more than a dozen pairs of gloves.

Next door was the Post Office, and Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing mailed all the things they bought to their families at the Post Office.

Looking at the large packages, Xiao Niannian said with a smile.

"With this, we've spent half of this year's salary."

"I've saved all the spending money you gave me."

Lu Jing said this, pulling a wad of cash from his pocket.

"Here."

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian pushed it back.

"You keep it. You should also keep some money on hand."

"Alright."

Military Doctor Liu and a few nurses also came to the County Town today.

They came to the Post Office to mail things and saw Lu Jing handing money to Xiao Niannian, who pushed it back.

She remembered Captain Xiao saying that Comrade Lu Jing had a fiancée, and that Comrade Lu Jing loved his fiancée very much. But now, why were Comrade Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian so close?

Could it be that Comrade Lu Jing was saying one thing and doing another with Xiao Niannian?

She wanted to step forward and question them, but she held back.

"That couple just now was truly miserable!"

"Those dogs are usually very well-behaved and never bite people. Maybe they hit the dogs."

"Right, I've lived here for a few years, and these dogs have never bitten anyone."

"Judging by how they looked, they didn't seem like good people either."

Emerging from the Post Office, Xiao Niannian looked into the distance, hearing passersby discussing.

When they drove over just now, the street ahead was the Hospital.

"Captain Xiao, Captain Lu."

Xiao Niannian heard Shen Yan's voice and saw them walking over carrying large and small bags.

Meng Ning and Lin Shi and the others also greeted them.

"Captain Xiao, what did you buy?"

"We bought leather coats and gloves, and some local specialties, and mailed them back from the Post Office."

Hearing this, Shen Yan said with a smile.

"I bought this too, and I'm mailing it home right now."

He had spent half of the money he saved; his Grandparents would definitely be happy when they received it.

"Hurry up and mail your packages. We'll wait for you at the entrance."

Military Doctor Shen urged Shen Yan.

"Okay."

Shen Yan quickly walked toward the Post Office, and the others followed suit.

"Captain Xiao, Captain Lu, are you treating us to a meal today? We're a bit tired of eating at the Cafeteria these days, and we want to try the dishes at the State-run Restaurant outside."

"Alright."

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing.

"Let Captain Lu treat us."

Lu Jing nodded.

Shen Yan and the Team Members cheered.

Soon, they arrived at the State-run Restaurant.

"Today we're having Goose Stewed in an Iron Pot. The Goose Stewed in an Iron Pot here is delicious, and there's also Pork Butchering Dish, and Guo Bao Rou. Make it a bit spicier..."

Lu Jing took the money and ration coupons and walked over to the waitress.

The waitress took notes on a piece of paper.

After Shen Yan ordered six dishes, Lu Jing ordered two more dishes that his wife liked.

"Are eight dishes enough?"

"The portions here are large. If it's not enough, we can add more. Order some flatbreads and buns too."

Xiao Niannian knew the appetite of these people.

"Alright."

After Lu Jing ordered some more staple foods, he paid and returned to sit next to Xiao Niannian.

After Lu Jing sterilized the bowls and chopsticks with hot water, he first handed them to Xiao Niannian, then sterilized another set for himself.

The other Team Members also started doing the same.

Military Doctor Liu, a few nurses, and Comrades-in-arms sat at the next table, and she kept watching Lu Jing's actions.

Comrade Lu was simply too good to Comrade Xiao. Didn't he have a fiancée, and didn't he love his fiancée very much? How could he be so close to Comrade Xiao?

Her hand gripped the chopsticks, feeling a bit upset.

"The Goose Stewed in an Iron Pot is here."

Looking at the enormous pot, Shen Yan and the Team Members cheered.

"It smells so good."

Xiao Niannian smelled the aroma and also thought it smelled very fragrant. During training these days, she had heard the Team Members discussing how delicious the food at this State-run Restaurant was. She heard that the head chef's family had been cooks for several generations.

The kind that were Imperial Chefs, but now no one dared to say the words Imperial Chef.

"The rice is here."

"The buns, steamed buns, and flatbreads are here."

Xiao Niannian tasted a bite of the goose; it was incredibly flavorful and fragrant, and they had specifically added some chili peppers.

Delicious.

Xiao Niannian took a bite and felt the taste was excellent.

Xiao Niannian saw some barbecue being served and looked at Lu Jing.

"I added some barbecue just now."

Lu Jing took several skewers of mutton and beef and handed them over.

Meng Ning had known about Captain Lu and Captain Xiao for a long time, but she hadn't told the Team Members.

Lin Shi and Gao Yao also had some vague suspicions, but they were all tight-lipped people.

"This roasted meat tastes great."

Shen Yan took a large bite and praised it.

Everyone happily started eating.

"Thank you so much, Captain Lu, for today."

Hearing this, Shen Yan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Captain Lu."

"Thank you, Captain Xiao."

Xiao Niannian also pulled out a wad of money and ration coupons just now.

"Food with added chili peppers is the most delicious."

"The food at the Cafeteria has been too bland lately."

After the meal, some people went to the Cinema to watch a movie.

Shen Yan, Military Doctor Shen, Lu Jing, and Xiao Niannian took a walk on the street.

"In another ten or twenty years, this place will definitely be bustling."

Shen Yan looked at the main street.

"We will definitely be better than those foreign countries!"

Military Doctor Shen listened to his younger brother's words and nodded in agreement.

Shen Yan looked at Xiao Niannian.

"Sister Xiao, what do you think?"

"Our current national strength still lags behind the USA and others, but in another twenty or thirty years, we will definitely catch up..."

Hearing Sister Xiao agree with his opinion, Shen Yan was even happier.

Just as they were talking, gunshots rang out in the distance.

"Bang."

Hearing the gunshots, Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing's expressions changed, and they quickly ran towards the sound of the shots.

Xiao Niannian saw a person lying on the ground, while the people around him were screaming and scattering.

Xiao Niannian's gaze swept the surroundings.

She saw some people squatting on the ground in fear, some fleeing toward corners, and others scrambling away.

Xiao Niannian spotted a person running toward the distance with his head down and a panicked look. He was gripping something in his hand and stuffing it into his coat pocket, while his other hand held a briefcase.

Xiao Niannian saw the person who was shot lying on the ground, and she immediately calculated in her mind: based on the trajectory, the shooter was in the position of the man holding the briefcase.

"The man with the briefcase."

Xiao Niannian shouted the warning.

Lu Jing, Instructor Qin, Military Doctor Shen, and the others also found the man suspicious and were preparing to go forward and question him. Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, they immediately lunged toward the man.

The man holding the briefcase realized that many people were running toward his location.

He grew even more panicked. He ran toward a side street, but these people were coming much faster than he had expected.

He ran into an alley. Xiao Niannian watched the man push many people aside and run forward.

She stepped directly onto the wall, quickly bypassed these people, and chased after the suspicious person.

Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian made identical movements; they rushed in front of the suspicious person almost simultaneously.
