Chapter 123 Became the meat and potatoes
Brother Wang chuckled, "Just now when I was getting food, I was thinking of saving some for you, but before I could even start, that brat Wang Qi was so quick that he quickly saved some for you. He was so fast, as if he was afraid that someone else would get there first."
Nan Qiao was a little surprised when she heard this. Just as she was about to speak, Brother Wang continued, "And, there's more than just him."
"When you were sleeping earlier, I saw several little soldiers fighting to cover you with clothes. They were almost fighting."
"And the little soldier who served you the rice soup, you don't know that he arm-wrestled with several other soldiers just to get the chance to serve you the rice soup. He won in the end and then ran over to serve you the rice soup."
Nan Qiao's eyes widened, a warm feeling welling up in her heart, and she felt a bit amused and helpless, "Ah? They are... too enthusiastic, I didn't realize that."
Brother Wang laughed and patted Nan Qiao on the shoulder. "You are a cute and fair-skinned girl. You have brought a lot of help to our army. We are all grateful to you."
"Besides, you're a nice person, so naturally they all want to be nice to you."
"However, our soldiers are young and energetic, and they are just beginning to fall in love. You are so beautiful and graceful, it is inevitable that you will become a hot commodity." Brother Wang deliberately lowered his voice, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Nan Qiao looked like a daughter of a wealthy family, with fair and translucent skin, delicate and graceful figure, and a well-behaved and attractive appearance. She was completely different from the weathered men and women in their army.
How could such an outstanding girl not be noticed by the young soldiers in the army?
Nan Qiao's face turned slightly red, and her heart was beating like a little rabbit in her chest.
She lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, muttering softly: "Brother Wang, please stop talking nonsense..."
"Oh, you're still embarrassed. Okay, I won't say anything more, haha." Brother Wang said this, but occasionally he would come over curiously and ask, "Tell the truth to your brother Wang, do you have any favorites?"
Meeting Nan Qiao's helpless and speechless eyes, Brother Wang had no choice but to close his eyes.
Over the next two days, the 233rd Regiment continued its journey south.
Along the way, the young soldiers continued to take special care of Nan Qiao.
When we were on the road, some people secretly gave us water and some secretly gave us candy.
Every time Nan Qiao followed the logistics department to distribute food, there were always too many soldiers in front of her to count.
Every time it was the turn of the little soldiers to get their meals, they did not leave after getting their meals like the others. Instead, they looked at Nan Qiao with a smile and started talking to her.
A young soldier asked curiously, "Comrade, how old are you? You look so young."
Another one then asked, "Qiaoqiao, where are you from? Your accent doesn't sound like ours."
Another young soldier scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister Qiaoqiao, what do you like? If there is a chance in the future, we can find something for you."
Nan Qiao was a little overwhelmed by their barrage of questions. Just as she was thinking about how to respond, she heard Wang Qi's anxious voice urging her from behind: "Get out of here as soon as you finish your meal. Don't waste time here. There are many people waiting behind you!"
When the young soldiers heard this, they immediately got angry and turned around to Wang Qi, saying, "Hey, you're allowed to talk to Qiaoqiao, but not us?"
"You are too overbearing. What's wrong with us just chatting with Qiaoqiao? It doesn't bother you at all!" As he said this, he deliberately shook the lunch box in his hand, making it jingle, as if he wanted to compete with Wang Qi.
Every time Wang Qi got so angry that he would chase after them with his lunch box.
After Nan Qiao finished distributing the food, it was time to eat.
A little soldier ran towards Nan Qiao early in the morning with steaming hot steamed buns. He looked so attentive, as if he was hoping to deliver the steamed buns to Nan Qiao personally so that she could eat the hot food first.
And every time at such times, Wang Qi is never absent and always comes out to interfere.
He handed her his steamed bun and said, "They didn't wash their hands, so they're dirty. Eat mine. The one I grabbed is big, white, and still hot."
Someone pushed Wang Qi aside and said angrily, "He's talking nonsense, don't believe him, he's the one who took a shit without washing his hands, don't eat his food."
Wang Qi was furious when he heard this. His face flushed crimson. He pointed at the person who had pushed him away and said, "What are you talking about? You're the one talking nonsense. When did I take a shit without washing my hands? Don't make up stories about me!"
The man was not to be outdone, stiffening his neck and retorting, "Humph, with your character, you still say we are dirty. I think you just want to monopolize Sister Qiaoqiao's favor, and you keep saying such unreliable things."
"I'm unreliable? I'm doing this for Qiaoqiao's own good. You guys, you guys, you don't even wash your hands and come to show your affection. How can that be hygienic?"
Wang Qi was so angry that his eyes widened, and he held the steamed bun tightly in his hand, as if he was about to rush up to argue.
Seeing this, the others gathered around and joined in the conversation.
"Wang Qi, please don't go too far. We all have good intentions. Why are you the only one who can show off, but we can't?"
"That's right, who are you calling dirty? We are all clean."
Seeing these people about to start pushing and shoving, Nan Qiao felt helpless and amused. She quickly stood up and waved her hands while saying, "Hey, stop arguing, stop arguing, I won't eat anyone's steamed bun."
As she spoke, she took out a few steamed buns that she had saved from her backpack. The buns were big and beautiful, and gave off a faint wheat aroma.
Nan Qiao smiled and raised the steamed buns, saying to the crowd, "Look, I've saved some for myself. Stop fighting over them and eat them all. I appreciate your kindness. Thank you for taking care of me."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Wang Qi also stopped and scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
The man who pushed Wang Qi away also felt that his words had gone too far. A hint of apology appeared on his face, and he scratched his head and said, "We...we didn't mean to start a quarrel. We just wanted you to eat better."
Nan Qiao smiled and nodded: "I know, I know everyone is doing this for my own good, so let's not quarrel over such a small matter, let's eat quickly, we still have to hurry on our way after that."
Everyone then responded, each taking their lunch boxes and steamed buns, finding a place to sit down and eat quietly, but occasionally they would secretly glance at Nan Qiao, their eyes full of concern and friendliness.
And Wang Qi would look towards Nan Qiao from time to time.
……
The 233rd Regiment had been marching for several days. On this day, the weather suddenly changed, the temperature dropped suddenly, and the cold wind blew straight into people.
The soldiers were caught off guard. When they set out, their bags were filled with light summer clothes. Now, looking at the sudden change in the weather, they could only helplessly put on their few summer clothes layer by layer.
