While Xue Wufu was eating garlic bread to fill his stomach, Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Xue Sanfu did not just sit around and watch him eat. Instead, they helped Commander Fan and the cooks wash the dishes.
The cooks were at the drill ground to play music during the competition, so there were still many bowls that had not been washed.
However, Commander Fan and the others have a great time washing the dishes after the competition even though they have to stay back late.
After washing the dishes, it was time for Xue Wufu to go wash up and sleep. Although Xue Wufu still wanted to be with the two children, he also wanted to abide by the discipline of the military camp. In the end, discipline triumphed over feelings.
Seeing Wufu disappear and return to his camp, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan felt slightly emotional.
