Chapter 38 Commander, you are too late to take this precaution

Bai Jiang tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and after a moment of contemplation, he continued to ask, "Xiu Lan, do you still remember what that girl looked like? Do you know which building she lived in?"

"Well..." Yue Xiulan put down her bowl and chopsticks, recalling carefully, "She was about twenty years old, maybe even younger, with very fair skin, big eyes, and spoke with a slight southern accent."

She gestured: "She's not tall, looks thin and small, and is quite pretty."

"Southerner?" Bai Jiang suddenly thought of something and frowned slightly.

He remembered that in the marriage report that Wen Yanxi submitted yesterday, the woman was from the south.

But then I thought, she is a capitalist's daughter, how could she know medicine?

Although Bai Jiang had not had much contact with the daughters of capitalists, he knew that most of them must be very arrogant. If they were to learn something, they should study business or something like that. Why would they go to study medicine?

I still studied Chinese medicine!

Bai Jiang immediately rejected this possibility in his mind, but he couldn't find any military dependents who knew how to practice medicine.

His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the teacup.

"Old Bai, don't worry." Seeing his worried look, Yue Xiulan comforted him softly, "This person is in the family compound. She won't run away. If I see her again next time, I will definitely ask her about it!"

As she spoke, she handed the chopsticks to Bai Jiang and said, "Besides, such a kind-hearted girl will definitely help others. When the time comes, everyone in our courtyard will find out, right?"

"Um……"

Bai Jiang nodded, but he had already made up his mind to check the list of new military dependents early tomorrow morning.

After all, in this border station where medical resources are scarce, every person who knows medical skills is extremely valuable.

If we could get that military wife to the clinic to help earlier, maybe we could have saved a lot of people!

next day

In the political commissar's office, the desk in front of Bai Jiang was piled with archival documents.

The morning light came in through the window and shone on his furrowed brow.

"There are military wives from the south, but none of them know medicine..." Bai Jiang muttered to himself, tapping his fingers lightly on the file.

What's going on?

From morning till now, he has looked through the information of all the new military families, but still can't find the girl who knows acupuncture.

The troops strictly examine the marriage reports of every soldier and investigate the identities of military dependents thoroughly.

Bai Jiang was puzzled. How could such a girl with excellent medical skills be nowhere to be found?

After all, such an important matter should not be overlooked by the investigators.

Knock knock knock——

Just as he was about to continue searching, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in!" Bai Jiang responded without raising his head.

As the door opened, Wen Qimin strode in with a serious expression.

"Commander?" Bai Jiang looked up and saw it was the commander, and quickly stood up to greet him. "Why did you come here in person? If you need anything, just call me. At worst, you can have the guards pass on the message."

As he spoke, Bai Jiang quickly poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over.

"Stop working." Wen Qimin took the teacup but didn't drink it. He placed it on the table and said straight to the point, "I'm here to give you a shot of prevention."

"Ah..." Bai Jiang straightened up when he saw his serious expression: "What's the hurry?"

Bai Jiang rarely saw Wen Qimin with this expression, so he thought it was a big deal and his expression subconsciously became serious.

"Wen Yanxi might have to file a marriage report in the next couple of days." Wen Qimin frowned, "His girlfriend... is the daughter of a capitalist."

He was the one who made the announcement to prevent the investigation from affecting their marriage.

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell you."

"hold head high?"

Bai Jiang's hands trembled when he heard this, and he almost spilled the tea.

He touched his nose, put down his teacup with a wry smile, and said, "Commander, your vaccination... is a little late."

Harmful!

I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be this!

"Here," he said, turning around and taking out a document from the drawer: "Yanxi submitted the report early yesterday morning, and I'm about to send someone to review it."

Although the other party comes from a capitalist family, we cannot simply condemn him. As long as there are no problems after the investigation, the marriage can still be concluded.

Wen Qimin was visibly stunned: "Yesterday?"

"Good boy!" He immediately reacted and shook his head, saying, "This kid is really quick..."

This means that after chatting at his house that night, he went home and wrote a marriage report?

It seems that Wen Yanxi is very satisfied with this marriage, and he can feel more at ease.

Given Wen Yanxi's personality, he wouldn't have to worry about life if Chen Zhaoyue followed him, and he could also give an explanation to his old friend.

"But Commander, at this time..." Bai Jiang hesitated and lowered his voice: "Isn't it inappropriate for Yanxi to find a wealthy lady?"

Even if the review is fine, this identity will ultimately have an impact on the Wen family.

When he got the marriage report yesterday, he was happy that Wen Yanxi finally came to his senses, but he was also secretly worried about Wen Yanxi.

Wen Yanxi has become a regiment commander at such a young age, which means he has a bright future. But if he fails in this matter... wouldn't all the accumulation of his previous years of military service be wasted?

Wen Qimin took a sip from his teacup and said in a deep voice, "If it were an ordinary capitalist, I would definitely not agree to this marriage."

He put down the teacup, his eyes burning: “But that girl is Shen Bowen’s granddaughter.”

"Chen Bowen?" Bai Jiang was startled, his pupils shrinking slightly. He didn't expect to hear this name.

Although he had never met Shen Bowen himself, he had heard of the deeds of this Shanghai celebrity.

It is said that after he became rich, he donated a lot of money to support the revolution and was quite prestigious in the financial world.

It’s a pity that he died young, and the person who took over the family business was unknown.

From this point of view, although Chen Zhaoyue bears the title of Miss Capitalist, her background is not too tricky.

Bai Jiang pondered secretly, his fingers unconsciously stroking the edge of the file bag.

but……

"Commander." Bai Jiang carefully considered his words and spoke: "If I remember correctly, the Shen family's engagement partner should be..."

The words came to my lips but I swallowed them back. It was really hard to say it directly.

He had heard about the engagement between the Wen and Shen families in his early years. Although it was never mentioned again later, he still had some impression of it.

But it was clearly an engagement with Wen Qing, so why did the person who came to report it become Wen Yanxi?

Although the age difference is not too big, it seems like they are of different generations!

"Tsk, that brat Wen Qing doesn't have this blessing!" Wen Qimin slammed the table hard, and the water in the teacup splashed out.

Thinking of this disappointing grandson, the veins on his forehead bulged.

That kid, although they are only a few years older than each other, I don’t know who he looks like, but his ideological awareness is not as good as Wen Yanxi’s!

Bai Jiang: "..."

Looking at Wen Qimin's angry expression, Bai Jiang didn't say anything else, fearing that he would get into trouble if he spoke too much.

The office fell silent for a moment, with only Wen Qimin's heavy breathing as the sound.

Bai Jiang waited patiently until the old commander sat back in his chair, his expression slightly relieved. Then he spoke cautiously, "Commander, since Yanxi's marriage partner is Mr. Shen's granddaughter, then this report...why don't I just approve it?"

Wen Qimin had already told him Chen Zhaoyue's identity, so there was actually nothing more to investigate.

Wen Qimin picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea was already cold.

"That won't work," he frowned and put down the cup: "We must follow the procedure."

"But……"

"No buts!" Wen Qimin interrupted him, his voice low but firm: "Follow the normal procedures, investigate what needs to be investigated, verify what needs to be verified."

Chen Zhaoyue's identity is sensitive to begin with. If it is skipped even through review, it will be hard to explain if it is uncovered in the future.

Wen Yanxi also thought of this, so he came to Bai Jiang to go through the procedures himself instead of going directly through Wen Qimin's approval.

"I understand!" Bai Jiang nodded in understanding.
