Chapter 22 Wait for me at home

It rained in southern Tibet for a week straight.

The soldiers of the Southwest Military Region insisted on training every day. Due to the shortage of ginger in the Tibetan area, it was impossible to make ginger water for the soldiers to drive away the cold.

The canteen would boil some water with southern Tibetan dendrobium every day for the soldiers to drink and help them keep away the cold.

Various buckets, basins and other water-collecting containers outside the canteen are collecting rainwater.

Even in the family quarters, every household took out water-collecting containers.

There is a pot on the stove in Cheng Jinghao's house, and Lin Momo always prepares a pot of ginger sugar water.

During this time, Cheng Jinghao came back dripping wet again.

"I'm boiling some hot water in the space. You should take a hot bath and drink a bowl of ginger sugar water." Lin Momo was busy.

"I have spiritual spring water, so I won't catch a cold." This sentence has been a standard conversation between the two of them in the past few days.

However, despite what Cheng Jinghao said, Lin Momo still did as he was told.

"Momo." Cheng Jinghao came out of the bathroom and looked at Lin Momo who was setting the table.

"I have to leave after dinner."

Lin Momo paused and asked, "Do you need me to prepare anything for you?"

She didn't look up, her hand still holding the chopsticks.

"No need." Cheng Jinghao walked towards her.

"Let's eat."

"good."

The meal was unusually quiet until Cheng Jinghao was ready to leave.

Standing at the door of the main room, Lin Momo looked at Cheng Jinghao, who had changed into casual clothes and took nothing with him.

"Be good and wait for me at home." Cheng Jinghao raised his hand and touched her braid.

"Yeah." Lin Momo nodded.

"You won't cry if I leave, right?" Cheng Jinghao looked at her.

This is the first time in our lives that we are separated. We are reluctant to leave, but we have no regrets because we are soldiers.

"What do you want to eat?" Lin Momo looked up and glared at him, but the slight redness in the corners of her eyes betrayed her.

Cheng Jinghao pulled her into his arms, "Momo, wait for me to come back. I will never leave you alone in this life."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." Lin Momo nodded in Cheng Jinghao's arms.

Cheng Jinghao let her go, and Zhao Zhigang was already waiting outside the yard.

Lin Momo looked at Cheng Jinghao's back as he left in the rain, and the scene of him rushing towards her in the sea of ​​fire flashed through her mind.

All the emotions buried in my heart burst out at this moment.

She likes Cheng Jinghao, and has always liked him.

Otherwise, my parents wouldn't have watched TV programs about special forces and paid attention to military news after knowing that they were special forces soldiers.

Because she had love in her heart, she never had a romantic relationship even after entering college without any love to stop her suitors.

After Cheng Jinghao left, Lin Momo made clothes at home every day, and occasionally went next door to chat with Li He.

The heavy rain stopped after three days, and many military families who had not been out visiting relatives and friends for three days began to go out.

Everyone went out, and as Lin Momo had no vegetables in the backyard, she had to go out to buy vegetables.

As soon as I turned the corner, I ran into military dependents who were out for a stroll.

"Captain Cheng's wife, are you going out to buy groceries?" The person who spoke should be the mother of an officer. Lin Momo had never noticed.

"Yes, Auntie, it's raining now, come out and change some dishes." Lin Momo smiled.

"Captain Cheng's wife, your family hasn't planted any vegetables yet? Women, you can't be lazy." The old lady looked at Lin Momo and said, and all the military families nearby looked over.

Lin Momo glanced at the old lady and thought, oh, another one looking for trouble.

"How can the vegetables grow so fast after planting them? It's been raining recently." Lin Momo replied. She didn't intend to say more before understanding the identity of this person.

"Hey, Captain Cheng's wife, don't you have a sewing machine at home? I'll go to your house and use it tomorrow."

Lin Momo didn't want to pay attention to her, and the other person had no intention of letting Lin Momo go at all.

"Auntie Huo, do you know how to use it? Don't break the sewing machine of Captain Cheng's wife." At this time, a woman in her twenties walked up to Lin Momo and winked at her.

"Liu Qian, what do you mean? Let me tell you something." Aunt Huo pointed at Liu Qian and said.

"You haven't returned the scissors you borrowed from my house last year." Liu Qian looked at her.

"I said it was broken."

"I don't have to pay for a broken piece of cloth? Everyone, please give me some advice." Liu Qian asked the military families around her.

"That's right, Aunt Huo, this is what you did wrong."

"Auntie Huo, you borrowed half a candy ticket from me a few years ago. When your Captain Huo issues the ticket this month, don't forget to return it to me."

"If you borrow something from someone, you have to return it." The military dependents around echoed.

Seeing everyone talking at the same time, Aunt Huo said that she wanted to go home to take care of her grandchildren, and left in shame.

"Hello, I'm Liu Qian. My wife is from the same regiment as Battalion Commander Cheng, and my husband is Xu Gang, the battalion commander of the second battalion." Liu Qian extended her hand to Lin Momo.

"Hello, I'm Lin Momo." Lin Momo smiled and shook hands with Liu Qian.

"You're going to Aunt Six to exchange for vegetables, right? I'm going to exchange for eggs, one piece?"

"Okay." Lin Momo nodded with a smile.

"That Aunt Huo just now is the mother of Captain Huo from another regiment. She likes to borrow things and never return them." Liu Qian said to Lin Momo in a low voice.

"My scissors were also just brought in last year. I didn't understand why, so I lent them to her."

"Thank you just now." Lin Momo expressed her gratitude sincerely.

"Oh, what are you thanking me for? Your Captain Cheng once saved my Captain Xu Gang's life." Liu Qian waved her hands.

Lin Momo didn't expect there was this kind of relationship.

"I'm older than you, so from now on you will be my sister Qian, and I'll be your Momo." Liu Qian is an enthusiastic person.

"Okay, Sister Qian." Lin Momo said sweetly.

"I have a good relationship with your neighbor Li He and the third battalion commander's wife Luo Yumei. Because the men in our families have a good relationship, we are all close."

As they were talking, they arrived at the breeding ground, changed their things and went back.

"Momo, Xu Gang said that your Captain Cheng is out on a mission. If you need any help, come find me. My family's family compound is on the left side, in the third row, the second house." Before leaving, Liu Qian pulled Lin Momo and said.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Qian."

Lin Momo likes Liu Qian's personality very much. She says what she thinks and is very straightforward.

"Okay, I'll go back first, and you should be careful on the way."

After saying goodbye, Lin Momo went back home. On the way, there were still many military dependents chatting outside.

"Momo." Just as she opened the gate, Li He next door opened the gate and called her.

"Sister Li He."

"I knocked on your door just now, but no one answered. I thought you might have gone out to buy groceries." Li He was holding a bowl of kimchi in his hand.

"This is kimchi I made myself. It's edible, so I brought it here especially for you to try." Li He is from Taiwan.

"Thank you, Sister Li He. I'll return the bowl to you later." Lin Momo took the kimchi from Li He's hand.

"Don't worry, go back." Li He smiled and went back to his yard.

After Lin Momo returned home, she put away the dishes and brought the kimchi to the main room.

"I don't know when Cheng Jinghao will be back." Suddenly I found myself missing him.
