Chapter 429
When they returned home, Zhong Tiyun and Grandma Pang, who had been staying at home, told them that there were two new small square stoves in the house.
Qi Mingyu recognized it at a glance as General Zhao's White Flame Furnace.
The light yellow on the wall shines on the stove, reflecting a soft glow. The two stoves are quietly placed in the corner of the living room.
"Tao Zheng and his companions must have felt embarrassed to come empty-handed, so they took two white flame furnaces and quietly left them here." Qi Mingyu said.
Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "We are all brothers, why are you so polite?"
She walked to the stove and carefully looked at the patterns on it. They were delicate and complex, and looked very high-end at first glance.
Grandma Pang asked doubtfully, "Is this white flame furnace very expensive?"
"Grandma, this white flame furnace is no ordinary thing." Qi Mingyu explained patiently, "It uses nanotechnology. After burning, it can be used for more than a month and can raise the indoor temperature to 0-10 degrees. It is the most precious furnace currently, more expensive than air conditioning and heating."
When Grandma Pang heard this, she said, "We're just sending some gifts to your teammates and treating them to a couple of meals. It's embarrassing to take such precious things for free."
"It's okay, grandma, I'll return it tomorrow."
Zhou Shuwan remembered that Xiaoliu said he wanted to eat tofu, so he took out a few pieces of tofu as white as jade from the space, wrapped them in a clean cloth, and brought out a fat chicken, a few pounds of fresh eggs and two handfuls of green vegetables.
After get off work the next day, Qi Mingyu and Zhou Shuwan went to the tent of Tao Zheng and others together.
Because I was worried about being seen and getting into trouble.
Qi Mingyu deliberately put the two white flame stoves in his backpack and waited until he got to the tent to take them out. He pretended to be angry and said, "You gave me such a precious gift without saying anything. It scared everyone in the family. You are not doing well now. You can't be so extravagant."
Before Tao Zheng could say anything, Xiao Liu said, "Captain, you and your sister-in-law are obviously more extravagant. We've only been reunited for a few days, and you're already sending us tons of supplies! We only have two White Flame Furnaces. We'd like to send three, but they're becoming increasingly valuable, so we only managed to get two."
Sang Zi also nodded: "Yes, Captain, you and sister-in-law should not be polite to us. We are all brothers."
Tao Zheng glanced at the two of them, then at the bag Qi Mingyu had placed on the ground when he first entered the room. Seeing the bulging bag, it must be the supplies sent again, so he said, "Captain, if you really want to return this White Flame Furnace, then we can't accept the supplies you sent these days, we have to return them too!"
"That's right, they're all collected over there."
Xiaoliu said this and went over there with Sangzi, pretending to pick up the things and return them.
Qi Mingyu was so angry at their actions that he laughed and scolded them without any hesitation: "You two little bastards, you are always pretending. Why don't you put that on!"
When he cursed like this, he resembled the demeanor he had when he was in the army.
It was the first time Zhou Shuwan saw him like this. He had a bit of the cool military look, and she couldn't help but look at him several times.
"Okay, we won't retreat, and you can't retreat either. Take this White Flame Furnace back." Tao Zheng said.
Qi Mingyu paused, then said, "Okay, we're brothers, I won't be polite to you. If you have any difficulties, just tell me."
"Yes, this is our captain!" Xiaoliu came over and hooked his arm around Qi Mingyu's shoulders.
Qi Mingyu exchanged a few punches with him.
Finally, Tao Zheng, Sang Zi and a few others also went up, and they had a thrilling fight.
Zhou Shuwan held his forehead with his hand beside him.
These men!
After a few people took a break, Zhou Shuwan brought the bag over and opened it: "Xiao Liu, look at what this is."
She picked up a few pieces of tofu.
"Sister-in-law, no, I can't take your things anymore." He refused, but his eyes fell on the piece of tofu involuntarily, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
"We're all brothers, why be so polite?" Zhou Shuwan placed the food on the table generously. "Didn't Xiaoliu say he wanted to eat tofu yesterday? I brought two pieces here specially for you to try."
"Then... I'd rather obey your command." Xiaoliu showed a happy smile on his face.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Sangzi also smiled shyly.
On the way back, Zhou Shuwan glanced at Qi Mingyu, who was obviously in a happier mood.
Qi Mingyu noticed it and immediately turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Shuwan couldn't help but laugh: "I was just thinking, if it weren't for the end of the world, you would definitely stay in the army, with Tao Zheng, Xiao Liu and the others. You can relax yourself, which is something I have never seen before!"
Laughing, scolding, and being angry, all with a sincere comradeship!
Qi Mingyu was startled, then stared off into the distance for a long moment before softly saying, "Yes, looking back, although being in the army was tiring and missions were dangerous, the relationships back then were the closest, and you could trust your comrades without hesitation!"
"But I don't feel any regrets." He suddenly looked at Zhou Shuwan, who seemed lost in thought. He stared at her intently and said in a deep voice, "Although I've separated from my teammates, I met you, my parents, and Mu Mu, and gained the love and family affection I once longed for. I feel that even though I'm living in the end times, I'm incredibly happy! Therefore, I never regret my choice!"
"I never regret my choice!"
The two smiled at each other and clasped their hands tightly.
