The woman rolled her eyes at him and turned back to look at the night sky.
Zhang Hongcheng snorted and was about to go back to sleep.
He felt that he must criticize P in a "veiled" way at the morning meeting tomorrow for such a petty-bourgeois thing as looking at the stars.
"Don't leave in such a hurry."
Chu Miaohong suddenly spoke.
"There's something I want to tell you."
Zhang Hongcheng sat down beside her confidently.
"I'm listening."
Chu Miaohong hugged her knees and looked at the starry sky, with a smile on her face that Zhang Hongcheng had never seen before.
No, it's not that I haven't seen it.
Zhang Hongcheng vaguely recalled a picture - a beautiful woman wearing a cotton coat, smiling and drying her hair by the campfire, and he had just woken up, with a sweet taste on the corners of his mouth...
"Thank you."
Chu Miaohong spoke these three words with ease and sincerity.
"What's going on? It's inexplicable."
Chu Miaohong squinted her eyes and looked at the starry sky. Suddenly, she reached out and pulled the rubber band on her ponytail. The dark clouds dispersed and floated gently in the evening breeze in the wetland.
"Thank you for giving me a bite of bacon at that time. It was really delicious..."
Zhang Hongcheng touched his nose awkwardly.
"So, what's next?"
Chu Miaohong looked at him with a little surprise.
"What?"
Zhang Hongcheng smiled.
"Doesn't the book say that there's no way to repay a life-saving favor, except for that?"
Chu Miaohong rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
"Get lost, you."
"For saving my life, we are now even!"
Zhang Hongcheng simply lay down beside her, resting his head on his hands and looking at the night sky.
"You're just defaulting on your debt. Sigh, people are no longer as they used to be..."
Chu Miaohong slapped him in annoyance.
"That time you fell into the water while blasting the ice, I saved you!"
Zhang Hongcheng suddenly realized and subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth.
"No wonder my mouth is sweet when I wake up..."
Chu Miaohong was so embarrassed when she heard this that she kicked Zhang Hongcheng and made him fall over.
"That's because we need to save people!"
Zhang Hongcheng rolled back with a smile.
"Why are you so anxious? I didn't ask you to be responsible..."
Chu Miaohong lowered her head and said nothing.
After a long time, she suddenly lay down on the grass next to Zhang Hongcheng, and seemed to be talking to herself at the starry sky.
"Then we're even... No one... owes anyone anything."
The quiet atmosphere ended after more than ten minutes of silence - Chu Miaohong left silently.
Zhang Hongcheng stared at the night sky with wide eyes, his mind in a mess.
Why do I feel like I've had a very short relationship, and my heart feels empty?
The next day, Zhang Hongcheng had no time to write a letter to his adopted son seeking "clarification".
Aunt Xie, wife of Captain Tao, personally drove to the Wetland Independent Platoon.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have feelings for Xiao Ding," Aunt Xie quietly handed a form to Zhang Hongcheng. "This is the backup plan that your uncle and aunt asked for for you. Think about it carefully."
An hour after Xie Zhuoma left, Zhang Hongcheng was still alone in the office, staring blankly.
Captain Tao was to be transferred to the Hangzhou Military Region and was recuperating in a hospital in Hangzhou. Aunt Xie was also transferred to work in Hangzhou.
Next to him was a form with the Corps’ red seal, and another red seal on the form was from Hangzhou.
This is a blank form for seconding personnel from Hangzhou to the Heilongjiang Agricultural Reclamation Corps.
In the next six months, as long as Zhang Hongcheng is willing, he can fill out the form at any time and leave here to work in the more prosperous Hangzhou.
This form was a gift given to him by Captain Tao’s old leader, who was also his father Zhang Qianyi’s old leader.
Zhang Hongcheng had no intention of leaving the Northeast at this time.
But when he stared at the form, his mind was filled with the shadow of another person.
Give it to her?
So that she can go back to Hangzhou...
But why...I feel reluctant to do so?
Are you reluctant to give up this form?
It seems not...
