Chapter 118 Beijing!
In a certain field army hospital, Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun joined the army. It has been a month and a half since they joined. Zhou Xiaobai worked as a medic in the internal medicine department, Luo Yun worked in the pharmacy, and Yuan Jun went to a company below. I heard that he worked as a tank loader. Their lives were dull and simple, basically going from one place to another: hospital, cafeteria, and dormitory.
Zhou Xiaobai came back from the ward after finishing her work, sat at her desk, took out a letter from the drawer, took out the letter paper and spread it out. It was a letter written to her by Yuemin, which had just arrived two days ago. Although they had been separated for only a month, she missed him so much. The image of that bad guy was in her mind day and night, especially the night before they parted. The two broke through the last layer of their relationship and became inseparable. The longing was like spring weeds, growing wildly in her heart. Sometimes she really wanted to abandon it all and run to the remote rural village in the mountains of northern Shaanxi to live with the lover she missed, working from sunrise to sunset, and hugging each other on the kang at night, doing shameless things.
She had read this letter over and over again, seven or eight times, but she still couldn't let it go. Looking at the handwriting and punctuation marks, it was as if Yuemin's naughty smile appeared before her, and she was lost in thought...
"What are you looking at? You look so engrossed!"
The woman's teasing voice in her ear brought her back to reality from her fantasy.
"oops!"
Zhou Xiaobai was startled and subconsciously covered the letter on the table. When he saw who was coming, he scolded her.
"Luo Yun, you walked silently? You were like a ghost, you scared me to death."
Luo Yun sat aside and said, "I knocked on the door, but you didn't hear it." She glanced at the envelope on the table and said with a pout:
"Are you reading the letter Yuemin wrote to you again? You're amazing! You've read it several times. Do you think it's a masterpiece?"
"I'll just treat it as a masterpiece, so what?" He folded it and carefully put it back into the envelope, as if it were a rare treasure.
Luo Yun said:
"Zhong Yuemin is so lucky to have someone like you, Xiaobai, thinking about him so much. I've been at the military hospital for less than two months, and how many love letters have you received? There are people from the headquarters office, officers and cadres from the company below, and many even pretend to be sick to have someone come to the internal medicine department for treatment. Just imagine how charming you are."
"These people are just idle, not like soldiers at all. They think about these things all day long. It's so annoying." All the love letters, small gifts, etc. were returned.
Luo Yun said, "Xiaobai, you can't say that. Just because you're beautiful, people have the right to pursue you, right?"
"Then I have the right to refuse. These people are pursuing me, right? How are they any different from those stubborn thugs and hooligans we used to stop on the streets of Beijing? They're so persistent and call it risking their lives for love, which only makes them look good."
"You're being hypocritical. Have you forgotten how Zhong Yuemin teased me? Pretending to be your cousin, have you forgotten?"
"Yuemin is different. I just like being teased by him, humph!"
"Could you please not be so corny?"
Luo Yun rolled her eyes.
"You are so loyal to people, but Yuemin may not be the same. Didn't the letter say that Qinling is also here?"
"No, I believe Yuemin. If he had anything to do with Qinling, he wouldn't have mentioned it in the letter. Luo Yun, you don't know the conditions over there with Yuemin and his family. The dormitory is in a cave, with more than ten people squeezed into one kang. They work in the fields every day, and they have to go to a small ditch several miles away to fetch water for daily life. They plant rice and dig out manure. And their brigade secretary and his family don't seem to be good people either. It's very hard work. I will save money and send it to Yuemin later."
"Xiaobai, I think you're just worried about your life!"
Luo Yun said:
"Have you forgotten Yuemin's identity? He's a writer. He earned tens of thousands of yuan in royalties from his book 'Drawing Sword'. And you're still starving him? Compared to him, we're the poor ones. As for that so-called brigade secretary, with Yuemin, Zheng Tong, Luo Jianguo and others around, bad guys will become 'good guys' when they see them. Don't worry."
"That's different, this is money I earned myself!"
Zhou Xiaobai said, "Don't just talk about me. How are you and Yuan Jun doing?"
"Yuan Jun?"
Luo Yun sighed, then felt helpless.
"Don't mention it. This guy is always causing trouble in the company below. I thought he would be more honest after joining the army, but it turned out that instead of being restrained, he became even more outrageous. You don't know, this guy is so bold that he not only talks back to his squad leader, but also to the company commander and the instructor. The company commander comes to the regiment headquarters every few days to complain to the leaders. Transfer this troublemaker away. It's really impossible to teach him. Sigh, I'm also very conflicted now. With his character, if he really gets into big trouble and incurs public anger, it will be useless even if he has connections. I'm retiring early."
"Then you should persuade him well, Luo Yun. Don't be so fickle this time. I think Yuan Jun is quite good. I know him well."
"Who's fickle?"
Zhou Xiaobai said:
"Luo Yun, I treat you as my best sister. I'm definitely doing this for your own good. If you want to be with Yuan Jun, then you have to keep your distance from everyone else. And that Zhang Jing from the Propaganda Section of the General Administration's Political Department, have you two been getting pretty close lately?"
"No way!"
Luo Yun's face was a little awkward. "He's interested in me, and I haven't expressed my feelings. After all, he's from the headquarters. Do you know who his father is? Director Zhang of the Political Department, I have to clearly reject him. If I make him unhappy, it will cause a lot of trouble in the future. If the Political Department blocks you, you won't get any benefits."
"Luo Yun, this is the military. There's no such intrigue and deception as you say. Are they coming back to take revenge on you just because they can't get along with someone?"
"I didn't say revenge, but it's hard to say, Xiaobai. I don't have the connections you do. My dad is just a deputy division chief, which is not enough here. Not to mention other places, just in our hospital, do you know how many people have connections?"
Zhou Xiaobai sighed. Her best friend always put her own interests first, and then talked about feelings. "Well, if you put it that way, our military commander Li and Yuan Jun's father are close friends. Many leaders in the division and regiment headquarters are former subordinates of Yuan Jun's father. With this relationship, if you date Yuan Jun and need help later, you can ask him to pass on a message. Isn't that better than that Zhang Jing?"
"Xiaobai, there's really nothing going on between me and Zhang Jing." As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
A young man in military uniform walked in. He was quite tall, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked straight and had a faint smile on his face.
"Luo Yun, Xiao Bai, you two are here. I just went to the pharmacy and told you to come here."
Luo Yun stood up and asked, "Zhang Jing, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhang Jing came in front of the two of them,
"Nothing much, just wondering if you guys are free tonight? My fellow countrymen from Beijing are having a party at the restaurant next to the military service center. If you're free, come along."
