"A-choo!" Li Xia sneezed.
She rubbed her itchy nose and muttered, "Who is talking about me?"
"Have you caught a cold?" Song Langqing asked.
"Probably not. I'm not feeling unwell anywhere." Li Xia shook her head. "It's okay. Let's go."
She was arranged to go on a field trip with Song Langqing today to visit the families of the martyrs.
Before leaving, Song Langqing went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some fruit candies and White Rabbit snacks.
Li Xia pretended not to see it. She didn't want to look at it any longer, otherwise Song Langqing would misunderstand that she was making fun of him, a grown man, for liking to eat candy.
To her, people who don’t care, let alone like to eat candy, even if they like to eat it...it has nothing to do with her.
After arriving at the destination, Li Xia realized that today they were not simply going to visit the families of the martyrs, but today was the death anniversary of these "little martyrs".
Looking at the names on the tombstones, there are more than twenty children in total. The oldest is no more than six years old, and the youngest is only two or three years old, which is old enough to run.
"The enemy's bomb hit the Yuhong class that year, and all twenty or so children and two teachers in the class were killed. They were targeted by the enemy because they were trying to save our comrades." Song Langqing said silently.
He distributed all the candies he brought to the children.
Li Xia was speechless for a long time.
She had only seen it on TV before, but now she felt the cruelty of war firsthand.
It was too late when I got back and I missed the lunch time in the cafeteria.
When passing by the state-owned restaurant, Song Langqing suggested that they go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner. Li Xia did not refuse, after all, she could not go to work on an empty stomach.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Li Xia said.
Song Langqing nodded and said nothing.
Not long after Li Xia left, someone suddenly walked in. It was Su Wenyan who was dressed up.
Her brother said that the person she was going to have a blind date with today was very good-looking and handsome. After persuading her for a long time, she was finally willing to take half a day off to meet him.
She was quite confident about her appearance. As long as Li Xia was not around, she thought she could look better than most of the military families in the family compound.
Entering the state-owned hotel, Su Wenyan's eyes immediately fell on Song Langqing.
Is this the blind date her brother introduced to her? He is so pretty, how can he be described with just the word "good-looking"?
Su Wenyan walked over and sat directly opposite Song Langqing. She introduced herself while fixing her specially made hairstyle with her hands: "I'm Su Wenyan."
Song Langqing looked at the person who appeared in front of him, his face darkened: "Su Wenyan?"
Su Wenyan's face lit up: "Well, you are..."
Song Langqing pursed his lips and said unceremoniously: "I don't care who you are, get out of my sight right now, I don't want to see your pretentious and disgusting face again."
"You! How can you curse at me?" Su Wenyan was so angry at being cursed like that in such a public place.
Song Langqing didn't even bother to look at her, but asked the waiter to come over and replace the chair that Su Wenyan had just sat on and the dishes that she had touched.
When Li Xia came out of the bathroom, she saw Su Wenyan standing next to Song Langqing, covering her face and crying. She couldn't help feeling a little confused.
Su Wenyan and Song Langqing?
How did these two get involved?
"What's wrong with her?" Li Xia asked Song Langqing.
Song Langqing replied, "I've met a psychopath. The dishes have been ordered, and the dirty chairs and dishes have been replaced. Please sit down and eat."
Su Wenyan heard Li Xia's voice and took her hands away from her face. Then she looked over and saw that Li Xia was sitting opposite her blind date? Were they going to have dinner together?
"Li Xia! Why are you here? You knew I was going to have a blind date today, so you came here to sabotage me, right? Don't you deny that you are unfaithful to your husband? You should let Gu Weicheng take a good look at how shameless you are to be with another man...ah!"
Li Xia took the cup of water handed to her by Song Langqing, stood up from the chair, and poured the water directly on Su Wenyan's face.
"Your mouth stinks, you need to wash it thoroughly." Li Xia said coldly.
"Song Langqing and I have a normal relationship as colleagues. In your eyes, going out on field trips with colleagues, missing the canteen meal time and eating together at meal time is considered unfaithful to one's wife? Su Wenyan, is your brain full of water? Oh, or maybe you have no brains."
In order to make her face look whiter, Su Wenyan put powder on her face, but it was all washed away by the water, making her look extremely funny.
"Li Xia, what right do you have to say that I have no brains!"
She looked at Li Xia and then at Song Langqing, shook her head and said, "You said he was your colleague? Impossible! He was the blind date my brother introduced to me. His name is Sun Jiamin! He's the deputy commander of the Seventh Battalion!"
Although she disliked the position of deputy battalion commander as being too low, she thought that she could just meet him for show to deal with her brother.
But she didn't expect that Sun Jiamin was so handsome, she was a little moved.
But he treated her like this! And he even got together with Li Xia!
This is perfect. She caught Li Xia in the act and let’s see how Li Xia can defend herself!
"Sun Jiamin?" Song Langqing sneered, "Open your eyes and take a good look. I am not Sun Jiamin. My last name is Song, and my name is Song Langqing."
At this moment, a man sitting in the corner, wearing a green military uniform, with a square face and dark skin, stood up and said, "I am Sun Jiamin."
He glanced at Su Wenyan, with only disappointment in his eyes.
He is from the countryside and has little education, but he just wants to marry a cultured wife.
He was willing to come for a blind date only after hearing from Captain Su that his sister had studied in high school, loved reading, and now worked in the propaganda department of the radio station. After all, the political outlook of the Su family was not very good, and if he had not been attracted by Su Wenyan's education, he would not have been willing.
But I didn't expect that the person in front of me who was shouting like a mad woman was Captain Su's sister?
He said to Su Wenyan, "Comrade Su, go back and tell your brother that we should just call this a day!"
Su Wenyan's eyes darkened. This guy looked like a square. Was this the handsome guy her brother had told her about?
She hasn't said anything yet, so this guy still looks down on her?
Su Wenyan looked at Li Xia, Song Langqing and the people from the state-owned restaurant. Everyone was looking at her, as if they were laughing at her.
No, not only these people, but also those in the family compound!
Ever since Li Xia was transferred to the propaganda department of the army, she always felt that people looked at her differently. Some people even asked her how her article was going and whether she had finished it when they saw her!
She felt like she was going crazy, why!
Why are Li Xia's articles appreciated, while the articles she writes are considered to be nonsense and nothing?
Why was Li Xia still favored by Gu Weicheng even though she was not a good wife? She had done so much for that family in her previous life, but in their eyes, she was just a nanny!
They were both reborn, so why was it that Li Xia was able to live a prosperous life while she was having trouble with everything?
Now even the block of black coal in front of her looks down on her!
She doesn't accept it!
For a moment, Su Wenyan's blood rushed up, and then with a "bang", Su Wenyan fell to the ground.
