On his first night as a substitute bride accompanying the army, the abstinent tycoon dropped his pre

Chapter 71 Not Coming Back Tonight
The food in the military canteens used to be decent, and the affordable prices made it a popular choice for single soldiers. Soldiers whose wives accompanied them usually cooked for themselves at home.

but now.

The cafeteria is cheap and the food is good, so everyone is willing to eat there or take food home.

Wen Ci went to the window and saw pork stew with vermicelli. She blinked and said, "I'd like a serving of pork stew with vermicelli, and also a bowl of rice."

After saying that, she handed the money into the box next to her.

A few years ago, the Northwest Military Region needed to use grain coupons and meat coupons to get food. In recent years, the Northwest has developed rapidly and no longer needs those coupons.

Wen Ci found an empty seat and sat down. Before she could even take her first bite, Xue Li eagerly sat down opposite her and said with a sincere smile, "Sister-in-law, Brother Huo asked me to tell you that he probably won't be back tonight."

"Not coming back again?" Wen Ci lowered her eyelids slightly and asked slowly, "Did he go on a mission?"

Xue Li nodded.

He couldn't tell his sister-in-law the specifics of the mission, but he revealed that it was permissible for Brother Huo to be away on a mission and not come home. He said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, just let me know if you need any help!"

"It really does."

She wanted to know roughly when the bus service would be available. The head nurse had reminded her during the day that there would be a rehearsal next Friday.

During rehearsals, you have to wear a flowing sleeve dress to dance.

The higher authorities attach great importance to this military arts tour. Last year's tour did not include any military family members. This time, the family compound of the Northwest Military Region has been completed and has welcomed the first batch of family members.

"What's the matter?"

Wen Ci asked, "Do you know when the road will open?"

"This..." Xue Li shook his head. With his position, he didn't know the exact opening time, but it wouldn't be open for at least half a month.

Xue Li glanced around, leaned closer to the table, lowered his voice, and said, "The military arts troupe is on tour soon, and performing arts soldiers from other military regions will be coming. We must ensure their safety, so this line will not be opened until at least the end of the tour." Upon hearing this, Wen Ci's eyes widened.

Is the situation really that serious? It'll actually take a month.

"How do you usually go in and out of the cafeteria to buy groceries?"

"Whether it's military spouses coming or food being provided by the canteen, the military vehicle department will provide transportation."

Just as Wen Ci was about to say something, she saw Yu Qing looking around as if searching for someone at the door. She stood up and waved to Yu Qing.

A moment later, Wen Ci came to Wen Ci's side, looking somewhat anxious: "Wen Ci, the head nurse just informed me that we can't leave the Northwest Military Region without permission recently. What are we going to do about our water sleeve dance costumes?"

Wen Ci already knew this from Xue Li in advance, and tilted her head, pondering what to do about the costume for the performance.

"Can I borrow it?"

Xue Li closed her eyes, carefully recalling that female soldiers seemed to have worn long robes with flowing sleeves during last year's cultural tour. She then opened her eyes and said, "They had a set of white long robes with flowing sleeves."

Wen Ci: "White...white?"

She could hardly imagine what it would look like to wear a white flowing robe...

Wen Ci took a deep breath, hoping that the clothes would have some patterns or embroidery, otherwise it would look strange: "I can only borrow the clothes of the female soldiers in the arts and culture class."

After saying that, she looked at Yu Qing and asked, "Have you eaten yet? How about we eat at the cafeteria here? The head chef is Sister Zhu Jing, whom I mentioned to you."

Yu Qing said awkwardly, "I didn't bring any money..."

Doctors eat for free in the hospital cafeteria. She usually sends her salary back to her hometown in the countryside, keeping only a little spare money in her dormitory for emergencies.
