What worried Becca Reyes was that the Chinese New Year was just a few days away right after their training, and the festive atmosphere was getting more intense. However, as new recruits, they still had to continue their training as usual. She had no idea to what extent Austin Shepherd and Nathan Foster would be kind enough to let them enjoy their first New Year in the forces.
At dawn the next day, it was still dark.
Having slept too much during the day and hardly at all at night, Flossie Wright woke up before the cooking class, carrying the iron pot and ladle into the darkness from the kitchen.
"Clang, clang, clang——"
"Clang, clang, clang——"
"Clang, clang, clang——"
The deafening sound echoed from afar to near, just like sticky candy that can’t be shaken off, evoking bursts of curses from the male soldiers in the dormitory.
Flossie Wright, who was already used to this, didn’t stop her actions until the doors of both dormitories were opened. Then she timely handed the iron pot and ladle to the grim-faced Captain Lin, and while complaints and curses were being thrown around, she was relaxed and ready to go shopping.
She had already received the shopping list for the morning, and Nigel Ferguson had been notified in advance. Her job was to select ingredients as she had done before, and then to get the ingredients back to the camp.
This might be her last time shopping.
It had been a long time since she last shopped, but the street and the vegetable market hadn’t changed much from her memory. It was still the same, cold and quiet in the early morning, with only a few vegetable vendors busy preparing to move vegetables.
"Flossie, it’s been a while since you last came."
"Eh, why are you selecting by yourself today?"
"Flossie, do you need potatoes today? Ferguson didn’t notify us last night, but auntie has prepared them in advance."
As soon as she pushed the shopping cart into the vegetable market, many familiar uncles and aunts eagerly waved at Flossie Wright. Even the vegetable vendors who were still carrying goods took the time to greet Flossie Wright.
In this period, even though Flossie Wright rarely talked to them, she was always the focus of attention wherever she went. It was certain that these people knew her and were willing to get along with her.
After politely responding to everyone, Flossie Wright bought a couple of items at a leisurely pace, then Nigel Ferguson rushed over.
"Flossie, you came early."
After giving Flossie Wright, who was dressed in her camouflage uniform and exuding an impressive aura, a few glances, Nigel Ferguson couldn’t hide his excitement and greeted Flossie Wright a bit stutteringly.
Although they often contacted each other on the phone, it had already been about twenty days since he last saw Flossie Wright.
While Flossie Wright was selecting carrots, she casually replied to Nigel Ferguson.
"Have you finished your busy schedule recently? Why are you coming to shop in person?"
Squatting next to Flossie Wright, Nigel Ferguson was carefully helping her select carrots, but his mind was completely on Flossie Wright. Even the vendor from whom they were buying carrots was throwing ambiguous looks at him.
"Hmm," Flossie Wright put the carrot in her hand on the scale, and then looked at Nigel Ferguson. As if something came to mind, she asked, "By the way, do you have any free time during the New Year holiday?"
"Uh...yes, yes!"
Suddenly meeting Flossie Wright’s black eyes, Nigel Ferguson almost bit his own tongue and immediately nodded his head anxiously, totally ignoring the New Year’s travel plans his family had made.
"It will be the New Year soon, and the forces require a large amount of food ingredients." Flossie Wright paused slightly, then turned her head to select more carrots, and continued, "If you are available, Captain Lin will contact you directly."
