Chapter 84 The chamber pot made people nervous.
When Joan opened her eyes, she noticed movement coming from the bed next to her.
She sat up abruptly, turned around, and saw that Huo Jiyun was actually trying to get out of bed.
"What are you doing? The doctor said you need to rest." Qiao An quickly stood up and gently pressed him back onto the bed.
Huo Jiyun's face turned slightly red.
He could only lie down, but even after lying down, his expression remained very awkward.
"Are you thirsty? Let me get you some water." Joan picked up a cup.
"No, no, no, it's not..." Huo Jiyun quickly shook his head.
You can't drink this water, or it'll explode.
Huo Jiyun lay on the bed, twisting and turning, panting heavily.
"Are you feeling unwell? I'll go call the doctor." With that, Joan walked towards the door.
"Qiao An," Huo Jiyun called out to her.
"I...I need to use the restroom, could you...could you help me?"
After saying this, Huo Jiyun pursed his lips, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"No, the doctor said you can't get out of bed yet."
Joan picked up the urinal from under the hospital bed.
Huo Jiyun's face turned bright red to the roots of his ears as soon as he saw it.
"I...I...I can get out of bed..."
Although they are husband and wife, they haven't seen each other for four years and are no different from strangers.
Huo Jiyun really didn't want Qiao An to see him in such an embarrassing situation.
On the other hand, it was also the first time Joan had used a urinal on another man.
But Joanne had seen far too much of the social order collapsing in the apocalypse.
She didn't feel embarrassed about doing it.
"How can you get out of bed? How many times a day do you pee? Do I have to help you to the toilet every time? What if your wound reopens?"
Without saying a word, Qiao An went up and started pulling down Huo Jiyun's pants.
Huo Jiyun was both ashamed and embarrassed, but she was too weak to argue with Qiao An.
Before long, Huo Jiyun gave up, because when he looked up, he found that the urinal was already in its proper place.
Joanne was staring intently at his...his...that.
He muttered to himself, "My urine is a bit yellow, is it because I'm constipated?"
"No, I'll have to make you a soup to cool you down later."
Huo Jiyun felt like he was about to die.
He silently pulled the blanket up with his left hand to cover his face.
After the first time, the second, third, and fourth times went much more smoothly.
That evening, Qiao An mashed the yam and cooked yam and rice porridge for Huo Jiyun, adding a little sugar.
While Huo Jiyun was drinking porridge, his eyes kept drifting towards Qiao An's face.
When he arrived at the machine tool factory today, he saw the enemy agent pointing a gun at Qiao An, and without thinking, he rushed over.
It was as if it were an instinctive movement of his body.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, he and Qiao An hadn't spent many days together, so why did he rush into her without any regard for anything else?
After much deliberation, Huo Jiyun concluded that it was because Qiao An was the mother of his two children, and he couldn't let his children be without a mother.
"Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?" Joan subconsciously wiped her face.
"No." Huo Jiyun thought for a moment. Since Qiao An already knew his identity, there was no need to hide anything.
"I'll be eligible to accompany my child to the military next year. Would you like to take the child and leave Jinshui Town for Chehe County?"
Qiao An paused in her work. "Of course! I've been wanting to visit the Northwest too; I've heard it's very beautiful there."
Huo Jiyun shook his head. "It's also very tough."
"How could anything be worse than your family's?" Joan joked.
Huo Jiyun's eyes dimmed. "I'm sorry, I didn't tell them my identity. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't have suffered so much injustice these past four years."
"Come on, if you told them you were a regimental commander in the Northwest, given the Huo family's nature, they'd be swaggering and causing all sorts of trouble. It's better not to tell them."
Joan's reaction was different from what he expected; he thought Joan would be angry with him.
"Aren't you angry?"
"Why get angry? Even if you tell them you're the leader, my situation in the Huo family won't be any better."
"Besides, even if you told me, I might not be able to leave the Huo family so easily."
Joanne glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's getting late, let's go to sleep."
"I'll steam some buns for you tomorrow morning."
"Mmm." Huo Jiyun obediently lay down.
"Call me if you need to pee in the middle of the night, and don't be shy if you need to poop. We're husband and wife, understand?"
Joan took the lunchbox and prepared to go out to wash it.
Upon hearing this, Huo Jiyun's ears turned red again.
Huo Jiyun didn't eat much that day, so naturally he didn't need to relieve himself.
I didn't get up to urinate at night.
Listening to his even breathing, Qiao An slipped into the space.
That evening, while she was cooking porridge for Huo Jiyun in the cafeteria, she noticed that the space had changed again.
The hospital was crowded and noisy, so she didn't have a chance to check her online space.
Now only she and Huo Jiyun are in the ward, and Huo Jiyun has fallen asleep.
This gave Qiao An time to go to the space.
The space has been upgraded again. This time, the reason for the upgrade should be that she helped the machine tool factory repair its production line, which changed the original fate of the machine tool factory.
The cabin is twice the size and looks more like a self-built rural house.
What was originally a warehouse has now been converted into two rooms: one is the original warehouse, and the other is a living area.
There was only one bed in the living area, and it looked empty.
Qiao An has tried it; she can currently stay in the space for a maximum of six hours. As she levels up, the time she can stay might increase.
Having a bedroom is quite nice.
Stepping out of the house, Joan went to the orchard and vegetable garden.
The crops on both sides remained largely unchanged, but two plots of land appeared next to the vegetable garden.
One area is black soil that has already been turned over, and the other is a lawn, with a fence surrounding the area.
Qiao An instantly understood what those two places were used for.
The tilled land can be used to grow crops, while the fenced lawn is clearly a livestock area.
In other words, Joan can now raise livestock on her own.
This discovery thrilled her.
However, this space upgrade seems a bit exaggerated; she only fixed the production line of the machine tool factory.
Li Tao is an enemy agent, but even if she doesn't find him, Huo Jiyun will still lead people to capture him.
Qiao An couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
As she was about to leave the space, she saw the bicycle in the corner of the house.
Shen Xiufang and Huo Jifeng lost their bicycles, and they probably won't get away with it when they get home.
She resold the car and made another two hundred.
Perhaps because she had spent some time in the space, Qiao An woke up later than usual in the morning.
Qiao An got up and found that Huo Jiyun was still asleep.
She tiptoed to the bathroom to wash up, changed her clothes, and then took her lunchbox to the armed forces canteen.
Just as she closed the ward door, Huo Jiyun, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and stared intently at the door.
Around 6 a.m., the staff at the Armed Forces Department canteen had finished breakfast and the cooks were starting to wash the pots and pans.
Joan came to the kitchen and pretended to take something out of her green shoulder bag.
Soon, mushrooms and pork appeared on the cutting board.
After chopping the meat into minced meat, Qiao An pretended to mix the sauce with the seasonings next to the stove, but actually took out the sauce she had prepared in advance yesterday from her space and poured it into the filling.
After wrapping the buns and steaming them, Qiao An took the opportunity to make steamed egg custard for Huo Jiyun.
The aroma of steamed buns soon wafted out from the kitchen window.
Li Daoming brought his lunchbox to the cafeteria. He had stayed up late from a meeting the night before and had asked the cafeteria to save him breakfast.
As soon as he approached the food serving window, he smelled a delicious aroma.
"Master Qian, what did you make today? It smells so good!"
