Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Alternative Explanation_1
Yun Hao gave a slight nod, the fire he left was blazing for Meng Yunhan, before he headed outside.
Meng Yunhan hurriedly began preparing the noodles.
When Lu Jianjun saw Yun Hao come out of the kitchen, he was so overwhelmed that tears welled up in his eyes.
“A brave man sheds blood, not tears.” Yun Hao said impassively.
This persuaded Lu Jianjun to hold back his tears, “Commander….”
Commissioner Gu gave up on his idea of watching the spectacle and patted Lu Jianjun’s shoulder, “Xiaoyun is now better, we should be happy. What’s with your crying? Are you a man?”
“Of course, I am a man.” Lu Jianjun firmly responded.
“Come inside.” Yun Hao was thinking about his sleeping son in the bed. Being inside the house would allow them to keep an eye on him and prevent any bed-wetting incidents.
The three men walked into the room, and the tiny bundle on the bed was the most noticeable.
Lu Jianjun inspected Little Huzi closely. How much had changed since his last visit? His nephew had grown a lot, from a tiny bundle to a somewhat grown-up child with meat on his face and body. His little arms and legs were chubby.
“Don’t they look alike? He’s so much like Xiaoyun!” Commissioner Gu couldn’t help but assert, regardless of Yun Hao’s indifference.
“He indeed takes after the Commander remarkably.”
Thinking of his sister-in-law, Lu Jianjun couldn’t help but remember the last time they saw each other.
At that time, his sister-in-law was unwilling to forgive him.
“Xiaoyun, I heard from my sister-in-law about your recovery, what’s going on?” As soon as he sat down, Commissioner Gu asked the question, also for Lu Jianjun’s sake.
Yun Hao summed it up in few words, “I’ve been in bed for several months now, I’m practically rusting. My entire body needs to readjust.”
This unusual explanation left Commissioner Gu speechless: Yun was truly extraordinary.
Could such a thing really be possible?
“Commander, have you gone to the hospital for a check-up? What did the doctor say?” Lu Jianjun asked, somewhat obliviously, eager for a definitive answer.
He would never forget in his entire life that he owed Yun Hao his life, not just once, but numerous times.
“I’ll go for the check-up tomorrow,” answered Commissioner Gu.
If there were any lingering problems, Xiaoyun’s military career might end, and he might have to leave the forces.
He didn’t mention these consequences. Xiaoyun had woken up and returned to the troop, which was good news. The bad news was left for later discussion.
Yun Hao was well aware of these matters.
Nobody was pointing out the elephant in the room.
The topic did not continue, shifting instead to recent happenings in the camp, their latest assignments.
They even mentioned the ongoing battle they had won, which had not ceased despite Yun Hao’s absence.
“The noodles are ready.” Meng Yunhan’s gentle voice interrupted the men’s conversation.
“Just by looking at these noodles, you can tell they are delicious.” Commissioner Gu was always good with words and praised her culinary skills in high terms.
“I am very eager to eat. It’s been a while since I last tasted my sister-in-law’s cooking.” Lu Jianjun complimented her modestly.
Meng Yunhan knew that they had a hearty appetite and so she had prepared more than a pound of noodles, topped with fried eggs and mince meat. The bowl of noodles looked appetizing from any angle.
Without wasting words, Commissioner Gu picked up his bowl and began to eat.
Lu Jianjun also lowered his head to eat the noodles, enjoying each bite.
As for Yun Hao, he showed his respect by thoroughly enjoying the noodles his wife cooked. The noodles themselves were delicious and he emptied the large bowl quickly.
