Huo Qing?

No, is she some kind of big bad guy?

How could he possibly corrupt Yueyue?

Huo Qing snorted and ignored Huo Cheng, who was prejudiced against her.

She took Yingyue's arm and said, "Yueyue, let's go, let's ignore him."

"Slower."

Huo Cheng spoke up.

She didn't say anything to slow down, but Huo Qing still subconsciously slowed her pace.

There's no way around it; as mischievous as she may be, and as teasing her older brother may be, the fear she harbors deep down for this brother who is almost ten years her senior still persists.

Huo Qing slowed her pace and arrived at the hospital's personnel department with Yingyue.

Yingyue handed over the envelope she had prepared in advance.

"Director Zhang, thank you for your help."

Little Yingyue has also learned to be polite.

She's just slow to understand matters of the heart; she's already quite familiar with everything else.

Zhang Guoqing opened the envelope, looked up, and his gaze fell on Yingyue, who was wrapped up tightly.

"So you're Commander Huo's girlfriend?"

"She's really beautiful. No wonder Commander Huo waited so long to get married."

Huo Cheng was a well-known bachelor in the army.

Although she wasn't the oldest, she had the best conditions.

A man like that will never lack female partners.

But he just happens to be single.

This has led many to wonder what kind of woman Huo Cheng actually wants to marry.

That's why he has such a great reputation in the military.

Zhang Guoqing had heard about this.

Now that I've met Yingyue, I can't help but tease her a bit.

Yingyue nodded seriously and solemnly explained why Huo Cheng hadn't gotten married for so long.

"Because I wasn't old enough to get married before, he had to wait for me!"

Zhang Guoqing choked.

So you're saying they knew each other a long time ago?

Is the reason Huo Cheng hasn't agreed to get married because his girlfriend hasn't grown up yet?

Doesn't that sound a little inappropriate?

However, whether it's legitimate or not, it's their family matter, and Zhang Guoqing, as an outsider, shouldn't pry or meddle.

He completed the onboarding procedures for Yingyue, transferring her employment and food rations to the hospital.

After completing these tasks, Zhang Guoqing gave Yingyue a food ration book, thus securing her job.

Although conditions are harsh on the island, the hospital is not as large as those in the city, so Yingyue's monthly salary is only forty dollars.

The salary at the supply and marketing cooperative was twenty-eight yuan, while the salary for a primary school teacher was thirty yuan.

Being a doctor is a technical job, requiring slightly more skills than being a salesperson at a supply and marketing cooperative or a teacher.

Huo Qing is a nurse, and her monthly salary is five yuan less than Ying Yue's.

However, Huo Qing was not jealous of Yingyue's high salary at all.

After all, she is Wu Minzhe's apprentice, personally taught by him. It's normal for her to have a higher income.

Having agreed to come to work tomorrow, Yingyue went home with Huo Cheng.

When they left the hospital, the snow outside had stopped.

Not only has the snow stopped, but the sun has also come out.

Although the sun isn't warm on this snowy day, it's still a joy to see it in this season.

Yingyue likes to step on snow that no one has stepped on before. When she takes a step, the snow goes up to her calves. It's white, soft, and fluffy, and it makes her giggle.

If she stepped into a deep hole and couldn't get out, she immediately called Huo Cheng to come and pull her hand.

Huo Cheng also had a faint smile on his face as he played with her.

Yingyue had been playing all the way and was sweating a bit, so she was also a little tired.

When she got home, she wanted to take off her clothes, shoes, and socks.

They rolled around barefoot on the wooden floor of the room.

Huo Cheng refused.

Yingyue looked up at Huo Cheng pitifully, "But the floor is very clean, it looks like a good place to roll around."

Just as she wanted to step on the snow, she also wanted to roll around on the clean floor.

Huo Cheng sighed and reached out to touch her hair. "Did you develop a habit of rolling around on the ground all the time while you were on the mountain?"

"It's not the floor, it's the wooden floor."

Yingyue corrected Huo Cheng, "These are two different meanings."

Huo City...

have no choice.

Who told her to be his wife?

"Then wait a moment."

As Huo Cheng spoke, he went inside wearing soft indoor slippers and carefully wiped the wooden floor with a cloth before allowing Yingyue to roll around on it.

Yingyue let out a happy cry, hugged Huo Cheng and kissed him hard, then took off her military overcoat, cotton jacket, and cotton pants, leaving only her thermal underwear underneath, and rolled around on the wooden floor.

This feeling of freedom is wonderful!

The smile on her face was so infectious.

Huo Cheng also sat cross-legged on the ground and picked up a book to read.

As he read his book while watching the little girl tumbling and climbing on the wooden floor, a slight smile never left his lips.

Such moments are peaceful and beautiful.

Yingyue rolled around several times until she reached Huo Cheng's legs, resting her head on his lap and wriggling upwards like a caterpillar.

"Huo Cheng, when are we going fishing?"

Going to an island and not fishing feels like a huge waste.

She wanted to catch fish.

Huo Cheng looked down at the girl lying on his lap. "Want to go watch others catch fish?"

Today, the logistics department will be breaking the ice and setting up nets at the beach; they can go and take a look.

However, you can't go into the water by yourself.
