When Fu Haitang parted ways with his family and boarded the train to Xinjiang, he was full of ambition and firmly believed that he would take his father, brother and sister-in-law as his goals and become a useful person.
But when she got off the train, she felt dizzy and her legs were shaking. At this time, let alone performing any meritorious service, even standing up was difficult for her.
Xiang Lifeng, who received Fu Jingchen's letter, waited for a long time but she didn't come out. He searched around the train station twice before finally seeing a squatting figure in the corner.
"What's wrong?" He took two steps forward, his tone anxious. "Are you feeling unwell?"
As he spoke, his eyes were still scanning Fu Haitang.
Fu Haitang, who was dizzy, vaguely heard a familiar voice and forced himself to look up.
Before she could think about why Xiang Lifeng was here, she felt a strong dizziness and buried her head in her knees again, saying weakly, "I feel dizzy."
Seeing that her face was pale and even her lips had lost their color, Xiang Lifeng picked her up and prepared to drive her to the nearby border hospital.
At this time, the sun had already set, and the jeep was driving on the endless sandy plain. The magnificent sunset glow almost merged with the surface.
Fu Haitang leaned on the passenger seat, covered with Xiang Lifeng's coat, opened his eyes and looked in the direction of 놛.
The other person's profile was cold and resolute. Under the sunlight, the gentleness and determination were fully reflected in his body, making it almost impossible to look away.
As if he felt Fu Haitang's gaze, he subconsciously looked over here.
Being caught while peeking at others... Fu Haitang felt very embarrassed and quickly closed his eyes.
We arrived at the hospital soon.
At this time, Fu Haitang's dizziness was slightly relieved, but his temples were still throbbing and he felt like vomiting.
Xiang Lifeng hurriedly carried her in. When the doctors saw that she was wearing a military uniform, they thought something had happened and gathered around her.
After the examination, his expression became a little strange again.
"It's just common altitude sickness," the doctor glanced at Xiang Lifeng, "Go back and get a good night's sleep. If the symptoms get worse, come back to the hospital."
The medicines and supplies at the border defense hospital are quite limited, and the doctors always use this excuse for minor problems where they can avoid prescribing medicine.
Xiang Lifeng was very persistent. The doctor was unable to help, so he could only prescribe some medicine to relieve Fu Haitang's pain.
Because of this delay, it was already dark when we arrived at the camp.
In order not to affect Fu Haitang's reputation, Xiang Lifeng refrained from hugging her when she got off the car this time, and just walked beside her.
After all, she was a female soldier promoted by the Chief of General Staff, and the company commander was waiting outside. When the two separated, Fu Haitang still said thank you to Xiang Lifeng with a blushing face.
Xiang Lifeng agreed seemingly calmly.
But during the evening training, he behaved more leniently than before, and even the soldiers under him were secretly surprised.
"Did the battalion commander take the wrong medicine today? He usually pinches our arms after doing push-ups to see if they're hard. Why isn't he doing it today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was looked down upon by his comrade beside him, "You think it's easy? Do you want to do another set?"
Pinching your arms after doing push-ups has a lot to do with the strictness of the battalion commander. As long as the number is sufficient, it is normal to turn a blind eye.
Everyone shut up quickly and happily washed up with water.
Although I don’t know what’s wrong with the battalion commander today, military life is so simple, and the slightest relaxation is enough to make everyone happy for a long time.
There are no dormitories outside Xinjiang like those in Beijing or the Southwest Military Region. They are mud houses made by digging a square pit more than one meter deep below the ground, then building walls with earth, and covering the roof with grass and mud. They are commonly known as earthen houses.
Even when we went to the countryside with the Shinianzi Brigade, the conditions were not as harsh as these.
But for Fu Haitang, these were not the most unbearable things. She was prepared to endure hardships when she volunteered to come to Xinjiang.
What made her most unbearable was the repeated altitude sickness, which could only be alleviated even after taking medicine. She rested in the dormitory for three days before she returned to normal.
At this time, the female soldiers in the same dormitory had already subtly excluded her, and she became a marginalized figure in the female soldier company.
The company commander didn't like her, and their new female soldiers were not yet able to touch a gun, so the only thing they needed to train was physical fitness.
Fu Haitang couldn't keep up, and was unwilling to be at the bottom of the formal evaluation. She cried silently, wiped away her tears, and decided to ask Xiang Lifeng for help.
Here, she only knows 놛.
Her uncle recommended her to come here, she couldn't let them down, let alone herself.
When talking to Xiang Lifeng in the cafeteria, Fu Haitang was very nervous out of a girl's pride, afraid to be asked the reason.
Fortunately, Xiang Lifeng did not ask any further questions and agreed directly.
On the only day off in the week, the two would train away from the crowd. During normal training, Fu Haitang would use her free time to practice repeatedly.
The female soldiers may not have noticed it at first, but later they realized the subtle connection between her and Xiang Lifeng, and they looked at her even more strangely.
Fu Haitang was able to not be affected by them. Later, she was able to gradually keep up with the training, and even ranked among the best in the evaluation. The female soldiers in the same dormitory took the initiative to become friends with her.
Of course, not everyone is so easy to get along with.
"Didn't Fu Haitang transfer from the art troupe? She was just a bunch of idiots in her previous training. How come she's improved so quickly in such a short time?"
In the bathroom, two female soldiers were whispering.
"What else could it be?" the female soldier holding the basin of water nearby said, "Look, she's with Captain Xiang every day. How can an ordinary person compare to her?"
Fu Haitang recognized the person who was speaking, Liu Zelan, who was also one of the top female soldiers.
"But I heard she was promoted in the art troupe before, and I think Captain Xiang seems to like her too. If there really is something going on, there will definitely be no problem with applying for marriage...ah!"
As Liu Zelan's words became more and more outrageous, Fu Haitang could no longer bear it and walked up to her and overturned the basin of water in her hand.
She is not the type to swallow her anger. Spreading rumors about herself is one thing, but spreading rumors about Xiang Lifeng is something she cannot tolerate.
"Captain Xiang is my brother's friend. Our two families live in the same military compound. He is my brother!"
The past was the past, but now Xiang Lifeng has become a very reliable brother in her heart.
There was a shortage of supplies outside Xinjiang, and water resources were even more scarce. Each person only used a little water per day. When the basin was overturned, Liu Zelan almost went crazy.
After hearing what Fu Haitang said, panic flashed across his eyes again, "Who knows whether what you said is true or not."
Regardless of whether it was true or false, from what Fu Haitang said, her family connections were quite complicated. Liu Zelan's rising anger subsided instantly, and she ran away angrily after saying this.
But no one knew who spread this message among the people present.
A very beautiful arts soldier came to the female soldier company. Her arrival was a rare thing, and she was actually the sister of Battalion Commander Xiang.
During the meal, several familiar battalion commanders heard a few words from Xiang Lifeng intentionally or unintentionally.
Upon hearing the bad news, Xiang Lifeng lost even his appetite.
