80s Military Accompanying: The Heirless Tycoon Pampers His Pregnant Wife

"I want to go home... Waaaaah..."

That evening, Luo Cancan developed a high fever and lay on her cot, groaning incessantly.

Yu Li took her temperature, which was around 38 degrees Celsius, not too serious. But she turned around and told the dredging team that Luo Cancan had a fever of 40 degrees Celsius and would definitely not be able to go to Shanwowo Village with them for dredging tomorrow.

"You're useless! You've already collapsed after just one day."

However, when it was just the two of them, Yu Li couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with her cousin who could eat but couldn't do anything.

Luo Cancan was already feeling unwell, and upon hearing this, she retorted in a hoarse voice, "If you're so useful, then go ahead and do it!"

"Ha! I didn't steal any of the disaster relief canned food," Yu Li sneered.

Luo Cancan was speechless, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.

Yu Li wet a towel and slapped it hard on her forehead, saying bluntly, "When you don't make mistakes, you're fine on the sidelines because your dad and I are there to protect you. But now that you've made a mistake, if you don't show some value, you definitely won't be able to stay in the military region!"

I won't listen to this bastard's chanting!

Luo Cancan continued to play dead.

Yu Li sat down by her bedside and said earnestly, "The military region is not a place for people to sit idle. Look at Shen Fenghe, even though she climbed up to Commander Ye's high branch, she still finds things to do every day."

Luo Cancan muttered to herself, "You guys were the ones who forced me to join the army, it wasn't my own choice."

"You're not good at studying, and you refuse to work at your dad's workplace. What can you do besides join the army?" Yu Li glared at her and said bluntly, "Get married. You're still a bit too young. Even if you are, with your military status, you'll marry well."

"Just like your mother, who married someone as capable as your father by virtue of her status as a military doctor. She doesn't even need to go to work anymore; she can play mahjong all day long."

Ha ha.

Luo Cancan smiled inwardly.

Yu Li had no idea about her family's situation. Her father was the chairman of the trade union at the railway bureau, a secure job that ensured the family's livelihood. But he was never home. Otherwise, why would her mother spend all her time in teahouses?

If you have a man with you, why would you go out to kill time?

Luo Cancan wrinkled her nose. Unlike her older cousin who always strived to be the best and number one in everything, she didn't want to be a parasite like her mother. She just wanted to be a freeloader, not working, not getting married, not having children, and just having good food.

"Achoo!"

She suddenly sneezed loudly and shuddered. Right now, she should focus on recovering from her illness. When you're sick, you have to avoid certain foods and can only drink plain porridge.

In order to recover as soon as possible, the next morning, when faced with the dark Chinese medicine that Shen Fenghe brought, she imagined it to be black sesame seeds, pinched her nose, tilted her head back, and drank it down.

"Cough cough cough... It tastes so bitter!"

After finishing his drink, his chubby face scrunched up like a dried orange peel, and he complained to Shen Fenghe in a bad mood, "It's all your fault! I got sick because you didn't come with me."

Shen Fenghe ignored her and picked up the empty bowl, ready to leave.

"Hey...wait!" Luo Cancan called out to her in a hoarse voice, her attitude softening instantly. She looked at her pitifully, "Sister Shen, I want to eat canned luncheon meat."

"I don't handle supplies, go ask your sister." Shen Fenghe pulled her arm away and left without looking back.

"You, Shen Fenghe! You're so stubborn! Selfish and mean-spirited!" Luo Cancan cursed gruffly.

Shen Fenghe picked at her ears; there was earwax. She couldn't hear what Luo Cancan was saying about the dog barking.

"Cough cough cough... Shen Fenghe looks gentle and kind, but she's just a wet cotton ball!" Luo Cancan finally saw through it. "My sister is no match for her at all; she can't get Commander Ye."

Whether it was the medicine Shen Fenghe brewed that worked or Luo Cancan's good constitution, her fever subsided after she woke up. Apart from her slightly hoarse voice, which sounded like Donald Duck when she spoke loudly, she was able to eat two cans of luncheon meat again.

But she continued to feign illness, even keeping it from Yu Li, so that she could sneak away and eat while everyone else was busy.

Anyway, having a lot of lice makes you less itchy.

"what?"

Just as she was sneaking along the edge of the camp toward the supply tents like a thief, she suddenly saw Shen Fenghe leading a little girl of about seven or eight years old toward the direction of the boulder, guessing that they were probably going to the toilet.

She quietly followed them, not to peep at them using the toilet, but because in a flash she came up with a brilliant plan.

A brilliant way to make Shen Fenghe disappear from the camp without anyone noticing!

She followed them all the way, and finally waited until Shen Fenghe and the little girl separated, then half-squatted and ran towards the little girl.

"Little sister! Little sister!" she called out.

The little girl turned around and was stunned when she met her young, chubby face.

"Aren't you an old lady?"

Ignoring her confusion, Luo Cancan put on a kind and gentle smile and asked, "Little sister, what's your name?"

The little girl answered honestly, "Chen Sanmei."

"Good girl, Third Sister." Luo Cancan squatted down, patted her little head, took her little hand, and asked, "Do you want some chocolate?"

"Chocolate?" Most of the kids from Shanka had never eaten this stuff, but Chen Sanmei had heard of it. "Isn't it a foreign snack that looks like poop but tastes really sweet?"

"Yes, yes!" Luo Cancan nodded vigorously, then took out a piece of chocolate that Yu Li had gotten for her to appease her from her pocket, broke it in half, and handed one half to Chen Sanmei. "Sanmei, let's play a game. I'll give you half before we start, and the other half after we finish. How about that?"

"What game?" Chen Sanmei stared at the chocolate handed to her, swallowed, but did not reach out to take it.

Luo Cancan smiled and said, "Hide and seek."

"I love this game!" Chen Sanmei immediately smiled and reached out to take the half-chocolate.

Unexpectedly, Luo Cancan withdrew her hand and said seriously, "My hide-and-seek game is much harder than the ones you've played before. Do you dare to play?"

"How difficult is it?" Chen Sanmei asked, frowning.

Luo Cancan said, "You absolutely must not let anyone find you. You are not allowed to come out no matter who calls your name. You must stay hidden."

"How long should we hide? What if we get hungry?" Chen Sanmei's brows furrowed even deeper.

Luo Cancan thought for a moment, "Let's hide it until dinner time. If you eat this half of the chocolate, I guarantee you won't be hungry all day."

Chen Sanmei licked her lips. "Okay."

Two hours later, Luo Cancan stopped Shen Fenghe on her way to get hot water and asked anxiously, "Have you seen Chen Sanmei? She's the little girl who's wearing adult clothes and has a radish-like head, about seven or eight years old."

"Third sister? I just took her to the toilet," Shen Fenghe said.

"How long ago was that?" Luo Cancan asked. "Her family searched for her for ages but couldn't find her."

"Couldn't find it? Is it not at the camp?" Shen Fenghe was a little worried.

Luo Cancan shook her head. "We've searched the entire camp but can't find her. Could she... have slipped out of the camp?"
