The aloof military doctor arrives at the unit, and the tough guy can't sit still.

Xia Qiuran turned around and looked at the mother and son. Her heart skipped a beat. Could something have gone wrong? No, she had already checked Tie Tou's pulse when she came out. Tie Tou's bodily functions should have basically returned to normal.

"Big sister, is your husband feeling unwell again? I'll go check on him," Xia Qiuran said first.

The woman quickly shook her head, then grabbed Xia Qiuran's hands. "No, no, he's fine, Comrade Xia. We just wanted to thank you."

Hearing this, Xia Qiuran finally felt relieved. She knew her medical skills were right.

"An'an, quickly kowtow to your aunt, she is a great benefactor to our family."

The woman continued, and the little boy, who didn't seem to understand much, immediately knelt down and said, "Mom, not all beautiful women are vixens."

"This child is not allowed to talk nonsense in the future."

It turned out that this child was the one who had pricked her with the needle that day. Xia Qiuran quickly helped An'an up.

"Get up quickly, sister. This is the new China now, we don't do these things anymore. Now that I've encountered this situation, I can't just stand by and watch someone die."

The woman held Xia Qiuran's wrist tightly. "Comrade Xia, I understand. My husband has a rare disease. You're in the mess hall. It's fine if you don't help, but if you do, it's fine if you do well, but if you don't, it's against military regulations. If you delay his treatment, you'll at least be expelled from the army."

"You took such a big risk to drink my man's wine, so it's only right that I have my child kowtow to you. Also, this bracelet was given to me by Grandma Tie Tou. It's not anything special, but it's just a token of my appreciation. Please don't find it offensive, Comrade Xia."

As the woman spoke, she took off the emerald green bracelet from her wrist and tried to put it on Xia Qiuran's wrist.

"Big sister, this won't do. I saved this person because I didn't want a precious life to just disappear like that. I absolutely cannot accept something so valuable." Xia Qiuran quickly put her hands behind her back.

She was short of money and wished she could earn a million in one go so she could bring her parents and brother to live in the city. However, she also understood that some money was acceptable and some money was absolutely unacceptable. Judging from the clothes of the mother and son in front of her, they were not well-dressed and their family was probably not wealthy. She absolutely could not accept such an important keepsake from them.

"Commander Lu, please give this to Comrade Xia for me. Comrade Xia saved my man's life. If I don't give her something in return, Tie Tou will blame me later." Seeing that Xia Qiu Ran wouldn't accept it no matter what she offered, the woman turned around and handed the bracelet to Lu Zheng Han, thinking that with a leader involved, she would surely accept it this time.

Lu Zhenghan held the bracelet in his hand. He really wanted to return it to Tie Tou's wife, but this matter was indeed Xia Qiuran's achievement, and even though he was the regimental commander, he was not qualified to make the decision for Xia Qiuran.

"Comrade Xia, this was also a kind gesture from Tie Tou's wife. You should be rewarded for saving a life." Lu Zhenghan's thin lips parted slightly, his speech not fast, revealing a faint sense of detachment.

Xia Qiuran's gaze swept over the bracelet, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. If she didn't accept it now, the push and pull would probably continue indefinitely.

After pondering for a moment, she gently took the bracelet from Lu Zhenghan's hand and examined it carefully for a while.

Yes, it has good water content; it's a good bracelet.

"Okay, in that case, thank you."

Xia Qiuran.

Lu Zhenghan's eyes were deep and sharp. He swept his gaze across her with a fierce look, wanting to stop her from accepting it, but he didn't want to say it directly.

Tie Tou's family was not well-off. They had elderly parents in the countryside who were ill and needed to be cared for. This was probably the only thing of value they had.

"Is there something you need, Commander Lu?" Xia Qiuran glanced back at Lu Zhenghan with clear eyes.

Lu Zhenghan opened his mouth, but was afraid of hurting the pride of Tie Tou's family if he said too much. After a moment, he slowly closed his mouth, but glanced at Xia Qiuran with a complicated expression.

Xia Qiuran smiled slightly, then squatted down and said, "An'an, I think the White Rabbit milk candy in your pocket looks pretty good. Can I trade it with you?"

"Here's the candy, no need to exchange it," An'an said in her childish voice, taking the candy out of her pocket.

"How can that be? I'm an adult, how can I take a child's things? Here, take this. This White Rabbit candy is mine now, no take-backs, okay?" Xia Qiuran placed the bracelet directly on An'an's little hand and took the White Rabbit candy in return.

Upon seeing this, the woman immediately took the bracelet and tried to give it to Xia Qiuran, saying, "Comrade Xia, how can this be? You must accept the bracelet. If you like sweets, I'll buy you some more another day."

"Big sister, I'll accept the bracelet. I offered to exchange it with An'an, and I can't go back on my word in front of the child." Xia Qiuran said, opening the White Rabbit candy and popping it into her mouth. She waved her hand dismissively, "Mmm, so sweet. Okay, I'm leaving now. Goodbye."

The group remained, watching Xia Qiuran's departing figure.

"My God, this girl is too good." The woman gripped the bracelet tightly and muttered to herself. She then turned to look at Lu Zhenghan and said, "Commander Lu, I heard that Comrade Xia is still a reserve soldier. Now that she has made such a great contribution, we must make her a full-fledged soldier."

"The organization will not forget Comrade Xia's contributions. Go back and check on Tie Tou," Lu Zhenghan replied in a deep voice.

His angular face still held that indifferent expression, but now there was a clear, indescribable glint in his eyes.

She used to act like she was trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful, but now she not only refuses gifts but also knows how to respect other people's self-esteem. Sometimes, this girl's behavior is becoming more and more incomprehensible to him.

A few days later, when Zhou Guangming returned from a meeting, Lu Zhenghan immediately explained the matter to him. Xia Qiuran saved a life and deserved credit; in the future, when female soldiers were recruited, Xia Qiuran would be ranked first.

After agreeing on the outcome, Lu Zhenghan went to the cooking squad immediately. It was afternoon, and Xia Qiuran was probably doing basket weaving in the backyard by herself.

But as soon as he got near the mess hall, he saw a lot of people coming and going. Why were there so many people on this road that was usually deserted? Lu Zhenghan quickened his pace without realizing it.

When they got to the backyard, they found that Xia Qiuran had actually set up a table there and was seeing a doctor.

"Xia Qiuran, what are you doing?" Shen Zhenghan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly walked into the courtyard.

"Commander Lu, Xia is treating our illness. I've had back pain for so many years, and I've seen so many doctors without any effect. But now Xia has actually cured me." Before Xia Qiuran could answer, the woman in front of her spoke first.

"Commander Lu, wait for me a moment, I'll be right there." Xia Qiuran finished writing the prescription on the table and then looked up at Lu Zhenghan.

"Xia Qiuran, do you know that setting up a private clinic in the military is a violation of military regulations?" Lu Zhenghan's sharply defined face was solemn, and his eyes were cold.

"Commander Lu, Comrade Xia hasn't taken a single penny from us," another patient added. "We voluntarily helped Xia weave these baskets."

After hearing this, Lu Zhenghan noticed that the people around him each had a basket in their hands, and they were all helping Xia Qiuran weave baskets. This girl really knows how to make a deal.

"Aunties and sisters, that's enough for today. I need to go back to the mess hall to prepare dinner later." Seeing that Lu Zhenghan's expression was not right, Xia Qiuran quickly dispersed the crowd.

"Please sit down, Commander Lu. I only occasionally help people with their medical needs; I absolutely do not run a private clinic."

Xia Qiuran got up to greet Lu Zhenghan and tidied up the things on the table.

Lu Zhenghan turned around and saw Xia Qiuran bending down to tidy up the table.

Just then, a snow-white light suddenly entered his eyes.
