Chapter 38 - The Incident of Toilet Wipes

"Did you see that jiejie? His name is Yao Yue-jiejie."

He Zhao nodded, he repeatedly recited the name in his mind. Slowly the list of names in He Zhao's brain grew more and more.

Feifei and He Zhao were crouching in the corner of the cafeteria, watching the adults who were busy tidying up their supplies. Not wanting to get in the way of their work, the two of them could only observe from the sidelines.

He Zhao had more or less memorized the entire layout of this place because Feifei had taken him around enthusiastically last night. He couldn't even believe that he could get a room for himself.

Now he started listening to Feifei introduce the names of others one by one. Carefully, He Zhao tried to memorize their names.

"Oh did you see that uncle?" Feifei pointed at a middle-aged man who was sitting and reading an expired newspaper. "The name is Wang's uncle, Wang Xingye."

"Okay, uncle Wang." Like being hypnotized, He Zhao repeated it reflexively.

Suddenly someone crouched down next to the two of them, "What are you doing here?"

They both look at it in unison.

"Qian-ge." Feifei greeted him, and introduced He Zhao. "It's Qian-ge. Wei Qian - ge."

"Hello, Qian-ge." He Zhao graciously greeted him.

"Hello, hello." Wei Qian propped up her chin with a palm as she came crouching with these two boys.

"Ep... Feifei is helping me to introduce people's names." He Zhao took the initiative to tell him.

Wei Qian nodded in understanding. Feifei is indeed adaptable to others, and when he gets to know you, he will speak enthusiastically. So, asking Feifei to introduce others to He Zhao was the right decision.

"Do Zhao-ge and Qian-ge want candy? I'll share it for you." Feifei quickly opened the bear bag he always carried. The inside is full of sweets and chocolates. Feifei thrust out his bag, so that they could choose the flavor they liked.

After thanking, He Zhao picked up the blueberry flavor and Wei Qian picked up the lemon flavor. Feifei himself took the strawberry flavor.

As they were unwrapping candy, Song Yi happened to pass in front of them.

"Oh. I want one too." Naturally the person squatting in the corner increased by one.

Li Yan and Lu Lin who were currently moving the ammunition they could, happened to see those who were crouching.

Li Yan asked puzzledly, "What are they doing?"

Lu Lin replied lightly, "Maybe play house-housing."

After which, he hurriedly put down the ammo box, and walked towards them.

As Lu Lin approached, the conversation he heard was..

Wei Qian, "I can make frogs."

He Zhao, "I can also make a rat shape."

Song Yi, "I can only make roses."

Feifei had his eyes twinkling, "Really? Uncle Song, please teach me!"

Song Yi shook her head in disappointment, "Unfortunately, we don't have origami paper here."

"Who said we don't have it?"

The four of them simultaneously turned their heads. Lu Lin walked over with an attitude that showed greatness, but it was a pity that the gauze on his forehead made him not look majestic at all.

"This. Wear this." From inside his camouflage pants bag, Lu Lin took out a striking 100 yuan red banknote. Unmitigated, he took out a pile of money!

Song Yi gaped at the amount of money, "Where did you get this much money from?"

Lu Lin obtained the money from civilians while still in the shelter. After taking the money, Lu Lin was immediately disciplined by Xi Zihe, saying that military soldiers should not accept bribes from civilians. Lu Lin remembered after being disciplined, he had cramps all over his body until he was unable to move for a long time.

Lu Lin instantly goosebumps, "Ehem! It's my own money."

The four of them looked at him in disbelief.

"Anyway! At times like this, money becomes an insignificant thing, you know? Just take it, use it as toilet paper or something." After thinking for a while, he added, "Originally you know, Captain Xi ran out of toilet paper yesterday, and he personally asked me for paper money to use it instead of toilet paper."

They looked at Lu Lin with a strange expression, as if asking, 'can it be clean?'

Lu Lin simply grinned and gave his thumb towards them. "Trust me!"

The past few hours, Xi Zihe was made confused by the questions of the people. He had absolutely no idea that one of his squad members had made up a story with him as the protagonist.

First, Song Yi approached him and said in a strange sentence. "Captain, it doesn't matter if you want to use my bathroom."

Xi Zihe replied confusedly, "No, I can use my own bathroom."

Xi Zihe frowned confusedly, "No need." After all he still has some rolls in his bathroom, why have it again.

Third, He Zhao hesitantly tried to talk to him. "Uncle Xi, does uncle need toilet paper? Even if it's just a tissue, I'll give it to you."

Xi Zihe was increasingly confused by the questions of the people. "No, I don't need it."

He Zhao looked like he wanted to say something, yet he paused his intention. Finally he left with a strange and confused face.

Lastly, while Xi Zihe was checking the condition of the rifle, Feifei pulled his sleeve. "Uncle Xi, uncle Xi. Did you run out of toilet paper? Mine and father's still plenty."

This weird question again?

Finally Xi Zihe could not help his confusion anymore. He caught Feifei for interrogation.

"Tell me, actually why are you asking about toilet paper?"

Xi Zihe bowed, aligned his eyes with Feifei's eyes, and waited for the little girl to answer his question.

Feifei looked hesitant as he was about to say it. He finally asked clearly.

"Don't you run out of toilet paper?"

"Huh?" Xi Zihe was puzzled by his question. But Feifei's next sentence surprised him even more.

"Uncle runs out of toilet paper until you have to use paper money, right?"

"HUH!?" Xi Zihe's jaw instantly fell.

He had no idea where Feifei had heard this extremely false information from.

Xi Zihe grabbed Feifei by the shoulder and asked while holding back emotions. Whoever spreads the news will teach him a lesson. With a forced smile, Xi Zihe asked, "Who told you this?"

Feifei did not disappoint him. Without hesitation he sold Lu Lin's name. "Uncle Lu Lin told us."

Our...

Us...!

WE!!

No wonder people keep asking strange things that he doesn't understand.

A moment later, Xi Zihe's voice sounded echoing throughout the dormitory.

"LEADER LU LIN! IMMEDIATELY SHOW YOUR FACE BEFORE ME NOW!!!"

At night, Feifei was keeping a collection of origami paper he made this morning with the others.

When storing rose-shaped origami, he looks confused.

"Ep? Wasn't there five? Why are there only four?"
