In the morning, when it was still dark, the military district's wake-up call sounded on time.
So tired...
Song Youyou was so sleepy that she pulled the quilt over herself, trying to block out the sound of the wake-up call and continue sleeping.
At this time, Gu Xiao, who showed no sign of fatigue at all, walked into the room, came to the bedside and said in a gentle voice:
"Breakfast is in the pot, and the kettle is filled with hot water. Remember to bring it with you when you go out for the job exam. It's still early, so go back to sleep. I'm going to go to the training camp."
Song Youyou opened her eyes a little and made an OK gesture to the energetic man.
At this moment, she was extremely jealous of short sleepers like Gu Xiao!
In a day, only four or five hours of sleep are enough, and two or three hours will also do.
How on earth is this done!
Gu Xiao couldn't help laughing when he saw her silent gesture. He turned around to get his coat from the hanger and prepared to go out.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"It's still dark...who is it?"
Song Youyou stuck her head out from under the quilt.
"I'll go take a look, you go to sleep." Gu Xiao walked out with his long legs.
Song Youyou thought about it and struggled to get up.
She put on a coat and opened the door, but Gu Xiao came back quickly with a big bag in his hand.
"What is this?"
"They said it was food." After a pause, Gu Xiao added, "It was brought by the First Battalion Commander Xu Jianguo. He just said a few words, then put the things down and ran away..."
Inexplicable.
"Oh... I can probably guess why."
It is probably because he found out that his wife Zhang Guizhi brought her children to eat for free these days, so he did this.
After all, at this time, every household was short of food, and it was very rude to ask for a free meal for no reason, not to mention that Zhang Guizhi had done it more than once.
"It's not a big deal. I was going to tell you last night, but... you should go to the playground for training. I'll tell you about it tonight."
It’s not that she wanted to criticize Zhang Guizhi’s behavior as good or bad. She felt that Zhang Guizhi was too excessive in beating and scolding the child, and she wanted to complain to Gu Xiao last night.
"Okay, I'll come back tonight and deal with this bag of food."
After leaving these words, Gu Xiao hurried out.
Song Youyou couldn't sleep either, so she just got up.
She cleaned up the house, had breakfast, and then went into the space to feed the poultry and livestock there. Then she changed her clothes and went to the military hospital.
"Hello, I'm here to take the job exam."
The nurse at the front desk looked up at the somewhat overly young girl in front of her and asked uncertainly, "Military wife?"
Only after getting a positive answer did he hand over a piece of paper.
"Fill out the registration form, then walk straight ahead until you reach the first office on the right at the end, hand in the form, and then wait for arrangements there."
Song Youyou took the completed form and followed the route given by the nurse at the front desk.
I didn't have to look far. Halfway through my walk, I saw Zhang Guizhi's familiar face in the corridor.
She remembered that Zhang Guizhi was also coming to take the job exam.
Zhang Guizhi's attitude was completely different from yesterday. When she saw Song Youyou coming over, she didn't even respond to her greeting and immediately turned her head to the other side, pretending not to see her.
Last night, her husband heard from somewhere that she took Erya to Song Youyou's house to eat for free, and he was very angry with her. In the morning, he even took a bag of food from home and said that he would return the food to her.
This made her feel very wronged.
Who is she doing this for? Isn't it all for him, for this family?
Moreover, she would accept it if he got angry with her, but giving food to Song Youyou was really digging into her flesh!
You know, food is rationed nowadays.
Soldiers can eat in the canteen in the army, and there is no limit on how much they can eat, but it costs 15 yuan per person per month!
But how could she bear to do that?
She let her husband go home for dinner. If he really didn't have time to go home for dinner, they would buy a meal in the cafeteria. Therefore, the family had very little food.
Zhang Guizhi was very angry. When she saw Song Youyou, she thought of the bag of food she had lost, and her heart felt uneasy.
Song Youyou could tell what Zhang Guizhi was thinking, but she didn't care much and just found a place to sit down.
"Song Youyou?"
Qiao Shan suddenly walked over with an ambiguous smile on her lips.
I didn't expect there was someone I knew.
Song Youyou nodded and greeted lightly as a polite gesture, then continued to wait.
But Qiao Shan didn't leave, instead she stood in front of her.
He asked condescendingly, "Are you here for the exam?"
"Um."
"Why would you need an exam for a job like cleaning? Sister Song, if you want to get in, I can help you..."
When Qiao Shan thought about Song Youyou doing the lowest-level job in the military hospital in the future and being ordered around by a doctor of high status like her, she felt relieved.
Even the anger I had been feeling for the past few days was swept away.
She must let Brother Gu Xiao see clearly who is the better person between her and Song Youyou.
Who is really worthy of him?
