"Director, this is my negligence. Please forgive me..."
Zhao Xin, who was in charge of materials at the Logistics Department, stood dejectedly in the office of Li Tao, director of the Logistics Department.
"Where is this? This is a disciplined military unit, not a random group of people. You are not allowed to do whatever you want. You left your post without the approval of your superiors. You let others take your place for your own selfish interests. You are simply neglecting your duties and bringing shame to our logistics department. I will fine you 2,000 words of in-depth self-reflection, suspend you from work for a week, reflect on yourself, and get out!"
"I……"
Zhao Xin wanted to defend herself again, but she could not help looking at Director Li's upright and incorruptible face.
The words came to his lips, but he forced himself to hold them back.
Knowing he was in the wrong, he walked out with his head hung in shame.
"Zhao Xin, are you okay?"
Che Lili stood anxiously under the shade of a tree. When she saw Zhao Xin walking out of the building, she immediately trotted over to meet her.
See her face that looked like a frost-bitten eggplant.
Probably guessing the result of the punishment, he guiltily pulled her hand, and just as he was about to apologize, Zhao Xin, who was angry, pushed him away.
"Che Lili, I think I've been very kind to you. I know you admire Captain Zhou, so in order to give you the opportunity to meet him, I made time for you on the 8th of that month when Captain Zhou was collecting supplies. It would be fine if you weren't grateful, but you also want to destroy my job. You have such a vicious mind. I don't want to see you anymore, never again!"
Zhao Xin's eyes were red with grievance. This year's advanced title would definitely be ruined because of this incident. She was such a strong-willed girl that tears could not help but flow down her cheeks at that moment.
Good things never come to those who do good.
He bumped Che Lili's arm hard with his shoulder, wiped his tears, and ran away.
Che Lili stood there in pain, clenching her fists unwillingly.
It was because of that woman who told on her behind her back that she and her best friend fell out.
She is the evil woman with vicious intentions.

"Achu!"
"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold yesterday?"
Ruan Xiaotang rubbed his nose and said, "It's okay. This bitter melon is too bitter."
“Is it bitter?”
Zhou Xingze picked up a piece of bitter gourd with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, then immediately frowned.
"Today's bitter melon is too old. Don't eat it. Eat this spicy and sour potato shreds instead."
"Hmm~"
Then he said, "We're having a dinner party tonight, so you can prepare it in the afternoon."
Ruan Xiaotang asked, "Who are you inviting? How many people?"
Zhou Xingze said, "It's no one else, just those guys in my dormitory, who are clamoring and making a fuss, and they must attend my wedding banquet tonight."
Ruan Xiaotang wanted to laugh when she thought of Zhou Xingze being chased by several grown men and asking for wine, unable to refuse and helpless.
It's just a meal.
She took care of it.
"Okay, tonight, I'll make sure they're well fed and well-drained, and they won't bother you again."
"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Xiaotang. I have no way to repay you, so I can only work overtime to express my gratitude in person."
The first half of the sentence is normal, but the second half is off color.
When it came to the second half of the sentence, Zhou Xingze half-covered his mouth, leaned forward with his upper body, and spoke excitedly at a volume that only the two of them could hear.
How dare he do that in the cafeteria!
With curved eyebrows and a stern face, he kicked him hard with his foot.
Let you talk happily!
Zhou Xingze knew he was in the wrong and gnashed his teeth in pain. He was too proud to show the slightest sign on his face.
He clenched his fist, put it to his mouth, and tapped it a few times.
He stood straight with a serious and inviolable dignity.
Ruan Xiaotang looked at his serious face and thought of his abominable behavior last night when he tore her apart like a mad beast.
A scoundrel.
duplicity.
Return to the military compound.
"Next week, Zhao Weiguo's wife will be accompanying the army to the military compound. When the time comes, you will go with her to help clean up the house and take his wife to get familiar with the environment here."
Ruan Xiaotang picked up the thermos on the ground and poured a cup of hot water.
"Then, how should I address Comrade Zhao Weiguo and his wife?"
"He is two years older than me, so I call him Big Brother and his wife Big Sister-in-law."
Ruan Xiaotang sat on the chair and curiously put her face close to Zhou Xingze who was leaning against the head of the bed.
"Brother, do you already have children? How many? How old are they?"
People of this generation generally get married early. According to Zhao Weiguo's age, his child is at least five years old.
Zhou Xingze glanced at her and said, "He got married two years earlier than me. His wife has been in his hometown taking care of his parents-in-law who are in poor health. The couple has been spending less time together than together, so they have never had a child."
Ruan Xiaotang was depressed and sighed for that great military wife.
Transportation was not well developed in that era, so it was really not easy to be a military wife.
It is even more difficult to see your husband throughout the year.
No matter what happens in life, you have to bear it yourself, endure it yourself, and get through the difficulties on your own.
The soldiers sacrificed their own families for everyone at the front.
The military wives work diligently and tirelessly in the rear to support their families.
It is because of the millions of selfless military wives that our country becomes stronger and more indestructible.
Military wives are truly great!
Ruan Xiaotang's heart was filled with emotion.
"What are you thinking about? You look so sad, but you smile at such a young age."
Zhou Xingze pinched her smooth little face, which was as white as mutton fat jade, pulled up her hands and sat her on his lap.
"I was just thinking, if you go to the front line one day, I will have to face everything alone, especially your mother."
Zhou Xingze smiled helplessly, "You are not worried about me going to the battlefield, but you are worried about getting along with my mother. Why, are you afraid that you can't win?"
Ruan Xiaotang raised her head suddenly and asked without thinking, "Are you really going to the battlefield? When?"
The innocent pupils were suddenly filled with panic and anxiety.
Zhou Xingze looked at her pitiful appearance, hugged her tightly in his arms, and coaxed her in a soft voice.
"Now it's all imminent. When that day comes, military orders are as strong as a mountain and cannot be disobeyed. I will need your support at that time."
Ruan Xiaotang responded with difficulty, feeling distressed and reluctant.
She buried her face in his chest and secretly hid the tears in the corners of her eyes.
…………
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun is not as hot as it is at noon.
Ruan Xiaotang carried a large cloth bag and ran straight to the grocery store not far from the military area.
I walked around inside and bought some bulk soy sauce for 20 cents.
After coming out, he found a secluded place and slipped into the space.
When you entertain someone, you must be sincere.
Tobacco, alcohol, tea, sugar, fruits and vegetables, meat, eggs and milk should all be prepared.
She is going to prepare a sumptuous dinner tonight to entertain Zhou Xingze's comrades.
Let them experience a new taste from the 21st century.
