"Two instructors, actually, Captain Xiao told me that he already has someone he likes."
"My parents are gone, and Uncle Xiao took me in. He treated me like his own sister!"
"We have to understand that the rumors you are telling us are all groundless. We should not believe them."
"The organization taught us that without investigation, we have no right to speak. We can't be misled by those groundless gossips! We are all conscious comrades and we must understand the situation. We can't let these false rumors spread everywhere and disrupt the unity of our revolutionary team. If this word gets out, how can I live as a human being?"
"Instructor, we have to be the wise ones and stop the rumors here. We can't let them spread any further!"
"Stabilize the morale of the troops."
Shiye said with a smile, turned around and hurriedly followed Zhang Bin.
The two educated youth in the office looked at each other with red faces, looking extremely embarrassed.
Zhang Bin heard the sound of jogging behind him, turned his head to look at her, and said nothing.
Shi also said, "Instructor Zhang, those rumors outside are all nonsense. Don't believe them. Captain Xiao and I have nothing to do with each other. He only wanted to take care of me for Uncle Xiao's sake. But something happened yesterday, and our relationship is over. Look, he asked me to pay for everything listed on this paper! It's such a lot of money, what is the amount?"
Having said this, Shiya choked up again, and his tears dripped onto the manuscript paper, making crisp "click" sounds.
Zhang Bin was stunned for a moment, then he took the manuscript and looked at it, and was stunned: "So many?!"
Shi also nodded repeatedly, aggrievedly said: "Yes, you say, if Captain Xiao and I really have a relationship beyond comrades, would he let me pay so much money? He and I, that is pure and innocent, there is no such relationship at all!"
"Instructor, tell me, how long will it take for a little comrade like me to work day and night to get all this? Captain Xiao is pushing me into a dead end. Instructor, you have to help me. I feel so wronged right now and I don't know what to do."
"Look, is there any job that's suitable for me? It would be best if I could earn more work points?"
Shiye's eyes were red as he stared at Zhang Bin, playing the victim to the extreme.
In fact, she had already thought of a way to pay off her debt within half a month, but she had to work hard. The instructor was in charge of assignments, which was a huge power. What if Zhang Bin thought she had used a backdoor and just assigned her a job?
The original owner graduated from a medical school, so working in the infirmary was perfect for him.
However, she did not take over in her previous life, and this life is even worse. The remaining memories in her mind are only enough for her to start from the grassroots level. If she wants to climb up the path of a female officer by becoming a "military doctor", she is afraid that she will have a long way to go.
But she couldn't think of any other job that would be more suitable for her: working in the fields or raising sheep and cattle?
In her previous life, she had the "Beauty System" in her hands, and she was completely focused on taking advantage of it. She was good at negotiating with the tools and conquering men, but she didn't pay much attention to her work. It's not that she was slacking off, but the tasks of the "Beauty System" were too intensive. If she didn't work hard, she would be punished. In addition, she studied "Internet Finance" in her previous life, which was useless in the 1970s. Her instinct as a top student made her focus more on studying the "system" tasks.
When I first joined the art troupe, I was quite good at singing and performing, but it was more due to my beautiful looks.
To be honest, what she is best at is cooking, dressing up, acting like a green tea girl, and being an actress. What she is more professional at is singing and performing. What makes her better than others is her English.
Shi also sighed and stared at Zhang Bin eagerly. It seemed that there was not much advantage in starting over again.
Zhang Bin held the manuscript paper and turned to look at Shiya with a look of pity in his eyes.
Now, he was truly sure that Captain Xiao really had no special feelings towards Shi. He was very fair, almost cruel. For a little girl, asking her to pay off a huge debt of more than 200 yuan was like the sky falling.
Zhang Bin shook his head, folded the manuscript paper and handed it to Shiye. Seeing that she looked listless, he sighed and said, "Well, you go back to the dormitory first. I'll ask about the job for you. You graduated from a medical school, so it would be great if you could work in the infirmary. However, not everyone can work in the infirmary, so I'll definitely ask you in detail."
Hearing this, Maki's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, instructor!"
Zhang Bin took her to the dormitory and gave her a set of military bedding. When they entered the dormitory, they found the narrow room very dark and with a strange smell. As it was a shared dormitory for forty people, the environment was naturally not very good.
"This bed is still empty, just make do with it." Zhang Bin pointed to the corner, where there was an upper bunk covered in gray mold.
This place is not near the window, it's a bit damp, and it's the upper bunk. It's inconvenient in every way and the environment is the worst.
But does she still have room to choose?
Shiya smiled and bowed to Zhang Bin: "Thank you, instructor. I finally have a place to stay."
Seeing her like this, Zhang Bin felt a little guilty and said, "You get ready first. I'll go to the infirmary to ask what jobs are left. I'll get the job done as soon as possible."
Shi also nodded, very grateful: "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Bin waved his hand: "You just came back from the infirmary, take a rest first."
After saying that, Zhang Bin left the dormitory. As soon as he left, the smile on Shi Ye's face fell.
She looked up at the shabby and moldy little bed, then resigned herself to making the bed. She lay on the hard bed board for a while, touched her thin clothes, and thought of her huge debt. She sighed, got out of bed, and left the dormitory.
She asked along the way and came to the communications department of the Corps.
The telephone operator sat behind the desk, glanced at Makiya, then lowered his head: "Are you calling or sending a telegram?"
Shi also smiled at everyone he met and said politely, "Comrade, I want to call home, long distance."
Hearing this, the operator looked at her in surprise. These days, the telephone penetration rate is still very low. Although many units are equipped with telephones, they are shared by several departments and cannot make calls to other places. As for home phones, they are even rarer. After all, the installation and call fees of the telephone are very high, and only a few families with good financial conditions will install them.
The operator looked at Makiya and asked, "Long distance calls are expensive. Where do you want to call?"
Shi also blinked and said with a smile: "Yandu, the Navy compound!"
Upon hearing the words "Navy Compound", the operator's expression became much more polite: "Okay, you call first."
Shi also breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his mood, and dialed the Xiao family's phone number with red eyes.
In the 1970s, she was in the Border Defense Corps. If she really wanted to earn money on her own, it would be difficult to pay off her debts within half a month. But as the saying goes, "It's nice to take shelter under a big tree." Since Xiao Yue was plotting against her, she couldn't be blamed for telling on him behind his back.
Although she is passive at the moment, she will not be passive forever. Even a desperate dog will jump over the wall, and even a desperate rabbit will bite.
What's more, she thought she was much more ferocious than dogs and rabbits.
