Chapter 248 Please Call Me Comrade Lin
Gobi oasis development zone, frontier outpost.
The members of the Northwestern Theater Army Vanguard Art Troupe received the warmest welcome.
As soon as Lin Zihuai and others put down their luggage, they gathered in front of the square, waiting to meet the soldiers at the sentry post.
It can be seen that the soldiers at the sentry post were very dedicated and even built a stage specially for them under such difficult conditions.
The wind at the border is particularly strong, accompanied by yellow sand, which hurts people's faces.
When the female members of the art troupe could no longer bear it, they covered their mouths and noses and tried to show their best. The male members stood straight and looked forward with firm eyes.
"Comrades from the art troupe!" a dark-skinned officer shouted, "Welcome to our sentry post! The conditions here are tough, but our soldiers have always stayed at their posts to defend the borders of our motherland.
Today, your arrival has brought us spiritual encouragement. On behalf of all the soldiers at the sentinel station, I would like to thank you!"
There was warm applause from the audience, mixed with the whistling of wind and sand.
Lu Qing took a step forward and saluted everyone. "It is our honor for our art troupe to be here and perform for the heroes who defend the border! We will definitely go all out and present the best show to everyone."
Next, I will introduce the members of the art troupe.
Lin Zihuai had never been so nervous before, and his palms were sweating from standing so hard.
When it was his turn, he took a standard step forward and saluted, "Hello, comrades! I am Lin Zihuai, a performer from the art troupe, and I am very happy to meet you."
Each person only has one line, and after saying it they accept the gift, return to their original seat, and it's the next person's turn.
After the simple welcome ceremony, everyone in the art troupe was arranged to rest.
The housing conditions were also quite simple, but everyone was very enthusiastic and talked about what they saw and heard.
Just then, a soldier knocked on the door. "Excuse me, is Comrade Lin Zihuai here? Someone is looking for you."
Lin Zihuai was slightly stunned, and quickly replied: "I'm here."
As soon as he took a step, he had a bad feeling.
The people around him even joked, "Hey, Zihuai, do you have any acquaintances here?"
acquaintance?
Lin Zihuai's heart skipped a beat, and he reached out and hooked his hand around the person who was talking, "Huang Tao, come with me."
"No, I'm packing my luggage."
"Let's go."
"Hey kid, be gentle..."
The soldier took the man to a waiting room not far ahead. It was called a waiting room, but it was actually just one of a row of loess houses.
The person who came was indeed Jiang Tong...
The moment Lin Zihuai saw Jiang Tong, his heart tightened and the smile on his face froze instantly.
Jiang Tong was wearing a gray casual suit made of poor quality fabric with patches of dark and light colors.
She had lost a lot of weight, her skin was dry and yellow, and she no longer looked as delicate and lovely as before.
"Why are you here?" Lin Zihuai asked vigilantly.
Jiang Tong was stunned when she saw Lin Zihuai for the first time, "Zihuai?"
In just a few months, not only Jiang Tong seemed like a different person, but Lin Zihuai was also very different.
His whole body seemed to have opened up. His figure was not only taller but also much stronger. He had gotten rid of his boyish immaturity. Not only did his appearance become more flamboyant and eye-catching, but his temperament was completely different.
Jiang Tong's eyes were red, and tears fell like rain in an instant, "Zihuai, you are finally here..."
She took two steps forward, and Lin Zihuai quickly took three steps back, almost stepping on Huang Tao.
Huang Tao looked at the scene in front of him, confused, "Zi Huai, who is this elder sister? Do you know her?"
Big sister?
Jiang Tong's expression paused for a moment, and then she turned her head away as if she was a little ashamed, "Zi Huai, have I... become ugly?"
Lin Zihuai did not answer Huang Tao's question, but frowned, "Just tell me what you want to say. This is a sentry post, you'd better behave yourself."
Jiang Tong had not yet noticed Lin Zihuai's alienation and indifference. She just wanted to tell him all the grievances she had suffered and wanted him to find a way to take her back with him.
"Zi Huai, I miss you so much! Do you know how I've been spending the past few months? Why did Sister An An treat me like this..."
“Shut up!”
Lin Zihuai interrupted her directly.
Jiang Tong's eyes flashed with confusion, and she took two steps forward, reaching out to hug him, "Zi Huai, can you let your friend go out first? I have a lot to tell you.
You don't know yet, do you? Sister An An is really too much. I'm already suffering enough here, and she even had someone take away my hard-earned money. I can't survive at all."
Huang Tao was stunned, his mouth wide open, and he hurried towards the door.
Lin Zihuai grabbed the man back and said, "I have nothing to say to you. Also, please stop talking nonsense. Don't you know why you are here and why your money was withheld? Stop throwing dirty water on my sister."
As soon as Lin Zihuai said this, Jiang Tong was stunned. She shook her head repeatedly, tears streaming down her face, unable to stop.
"Zi Huai, it's not like that. Listen to me."
This time, Lin Zihuai pulled Huang Tao back together and retreated directly to the door. "We have a lot of things to do in the art troupe. I'm very busy and don't have time to listen to your nonsense. We'll take our leave first."
He took two steps and then stopped.
Jiang Tong trotted after him, her eyes sparkling again, "Zi Huai."
"Don't call me Zihuai Zihuai all the time. People will think we are very familiar with each other! Don't look for me if there is nothing to do. Please call me Comrade Lin when you see me next time."
Jiang Tong: “…”
After saying that, he took Huang Tao and walked away.
The two young men were tall and had long legs, and they were walking in the direction of the temporary residence of the art troupe members, so it was difficult for Jiang Tong to catch up with them.
When she stumbled to the entrance of the temporary residence, she saw Dujuan.
Du Juan handed something to Lin Zihuai, and the two of them went in talking and laughing.
Jiang Tong suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.
"It's been so long, you still haven't calmed down?"
She always thought that Lin Zihuai was angry about what happened between her and Xu Wenbo.
Upon learning that Lin Zihuai came with the art troupe, she took great pains to ask for leave and come here, just wanting to sit down and have a good talk with him and clear up the misunderstanding.
But now...
Lin Zihuai breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing Du Juan off.
Huang Tao felt as if he was forced to know Lin Zihuai's secret, and the gossip fire in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
When everyone in the dormitory had left and they were the only two left, he hurried over and said, "Zi Huai! Brother Huai! What's going on?"
Lin Zihuai was too lazy to pay attention to him. After he finished sorting his things, he kicked the foot of the bed and said, "Hurry up and go eat."
"No, who is that woman? She actually said she missed you... But no, brother, I tell you, that woman doesn't look that good. She looks like she's working in a green belt, right? Obviously, she's not from a good family and is totally unworthy of you."
Lin Zihuai led the man out and told him to shut up.
"Dujuan is still better. Not only is she nicer, she's also better looking, and she loves you so much."
"I told you to shut up."
