Still wearing a grim face, Sergeant Lin glared at her as if he could start fighting Flossie Wright over a little bit of food at any moment.
However, since he had changed the subject, it proved that he had accepted Flossie Wright’s rather unreasonable condition.
Anyway, um, considering how hard she had trained, he wouldn’t quibble with her anymore...
Flossie Wright retracted the things she had been holding with a smile and, under Sergeant Lin’s gaze, she slammed the pot in her hand hard.
"Ding——"
The loud noise woke up the soldiers who were about to fall back to sleep, almost causing them to flip out of bed.
"See you later."
Looking at Sergeant Lin’s progressively gloomy face, Flossie Wright waved at him and quickly carried the pot towards the kitchen.
During the days when Flossie Wright asked for leave, the procurement task fell on Yvonne Watson again. Without even thinking, one would know that Yvonne Watson had some awkward encounters outside. Last night when she explained the procurement matters to her, Yvonne Watson complained a few times in between her words. If it hadn’t been for Becca Reyes watching over her closely, Yvonne Watson’s endless stream of grievances might not have stopped for a while.
However, when Flossie Wright discussed today’s menu with Nigel Ferguson over the phone last night, he seemed to be normal, probably because he had put things aside too.
"It doesn’t matter if you come back a bit later in the future, you can skip the morning exercises."
When Flossie Wright went to the yard to find the procurement cart, Sergeant Lin, who had already washed and freshened up, walked over and said seriously to her.
Procurement is a relatively easy task, but for Flossie Wright who needs to undergo training, it is not that simple. Becca Reyes, who looks after livestock, may have a bit of a dirty job, but at least, Ray helps her out. Sometimes, seeing her return from training in a sorry state, Ray even kindly lets her rest.
However, procurement must be done in the morning because the vegetables in the afternoon and evening are not fresh and are usually those picked over by others. Going to and from the Base to the Marketplace takes an hour. This is only if Flossie Wright, who walks fast, does it. If it’s Yvonne Watson who saunters leisurely, it might stretch to two hours.
Now, the darkness falls earlier. When the base’s wake-up alarm goes off, it’s still dark. Flossie Wright might be able to rush back, but a large part of the road on the way back is winding. It’s not quite safe, so Sergeant Lin has been planning to ask for a leave for Flossie Wright. She doesn’t need to go for morning exercises in the future.
Flossie Wright hesitated slightly, but in the end, she nodded, "Mm."
Since Sergeant Lin wanted to reduce her burden...
She should accept it, given his goodwill.
Having bid farewell to Sergeant Lin and left, Flossie Wright took the shopping cart to the outside market, while everyone in the cooking class, except for Becca Reyes, barely had their clothes on by this time and went out.
When Sergeant Lin returned and saw the scene, his brow furrowed into a "川", he could have killed a few flies in his anger.
They were too slack!
Even though they are non-combat personnel and do not have high requirements for such small matters, being so slow is proof that these lazy bunnies definitely needed a swift kick.
After a few days of not going to the Vegetable Market, Flossie Wright noticed a different atmosphere as soon as she pushed the shopping cart into the entrance.
Besides the vegetable vendors with friendly attitudes, even those who were usually nitpicking and stingy were extremely enthusiastic towards her. As they waved at her, they gave her quite a bit of vegetables and meat. Their attitudes compared to before didn’t change greatly, but it definitely crossed over a small gap.
