The news that Qin Wan was going to join the army spread throughout the Red Flag Battalion like a gust of wind, and almost everyone knew about it.
This news was like explosive news and instantly became a hot topic among people.
After hearing the news, Wang Liming, Zhang Erxiu and other good friends immediately prepared baskets filled with candies, fruits, cakes and other delicious foods. With sincere smiles on their faces, they came to Qin Wan's house with laughter all the way.
When they entered, Qin Wan was busy packing her luggage, and a faint sense of sadness and parting filled the air around her.
However, when she saw Wang Liming and the others, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She immediately put down the things in her hands, walked out of the door, and welcomed them into the house:
"Liming, Erxiu, Dongmei, Liudong, you're here. Come on, sit down. I'll bring you some tea."
"No, no, Wanwan, we are not strangers. If you are thirsty, just go and pour yourself some water. There is no need for you to be so polite." Wang Liming spoke first, her eyes sparkling with sincere concern for her friend.
"Yes, Wanwan, stop busying yourself and let's chat." Zhou Dongmei also stopped Qin Wan who was about to make tea.
Zhang Erxiu has infinite expectations for Qin Wan's future life:
"Wanwan, you're truly the epitome of happiness among us! Going with the army and fighting alongside your sweetheart—it's so enviable just thinking about it! By the way, you'll be a military wife in the future. When the time comes, you have to share your daily military life with us so we can experience that special romance too."
After saying that, she took out an exquisite notebook from her bag, intending to record this special moment.
Others also expressed their agreement, saying:
"That's right, Wanwan, you must remember to take more photos and bring them back! We all want to see your sweet life with Captain Lu!"
"Also, if you need any help, just tell us and we will do our best to help you!"
"Wanwan, we wish you and Captain Lu a long and happy life together!
Liu Dong, the only man in the room, rubbed his head and laughed, then after a long pause, he managed to utter four words:
"Have a baby soon."
Zhou Dongmei was amused by Liu Dong's four words and laughed, but in the end she couldn't think of a better blessing than these four words, so she also said these four words:
"May you have a baby soon!"
Qin Wan was surrounded by the enthusiasm of her friends and felt warm in her heart.
Faced with the sisters' warm blessings and concern, Qin Wan felt very warm and touched. She smiled and replied:
"Thank you. I will take good care of myself. Don't worry, I will write to you and let you know how I am doing once I am settled."
Qin Wan's voice was as warm as the spring breeze, and every word was filled with firmness and determination, as if he had already seen a bright future.
Her eyes were as bright as stars, sparkling with anticipation and yearning for future life.
Wang Liming suddenly had an idea and excitedly suggested:
"Since today is the day to congratulate Wan Wan on entering the military camp, let's imagine what it would be like if we could also enter the military camp, okay?"
"good!"
Wang Liming's proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone.
"I think if I walk into the military camp and put on the handsome camouflage uniform, I will definitely look heroic and show the demeanor of a soldier, and become the most handsome guy in the camp."
Liu Dong said immediately, with eager yearning in his eyes
Zhou Dongmei also closed her eyes, and the scene of herself diligently learning military skills after entering the military camp emerged in her mind.
Zhang Erxiu began to imagine how Qin Wan would use her intelligence and talents in her spare time to bring joy to the military camp life, and then rely on her charm to marry the most charming officer in the army and become a "wise military wife" admired by everyone.
"Perhaps, I will have the opportunity to become a cultural and artistic backbone in the military camp! You have heard my singing voice, it is so beautiful. If I can dedicate a song for my comrades on Army Day or other important festivals, what an exciting moment it will be!"
Zhou Dongmei spoke excitedly, as if she had already seen those warm and touching scenes.
…… …… ……
Qin Wan listened to his friends' imaginations and felt grateful.
She knew that no matter what the future held, with this group of friends, her life would not be lonely.
"Today we're having a small gathering. I happened to shoot two pheasants yesterday and picked half a basket of mushrooms. How about we have chicken and mushroom stew again?"
"Of course, that's fine. My favorite dish is chicken stewed with mushrooms." Liu Dong never lags behind when it comes to food. "Wanwan, you take a break today. I'll cook a few of my specialties myself and let you taste the culinary skills of a future national chef!"
"Then I'll leave today's meal to you." Qin Wan and others expressed their support when they heard this.
Liu Dong is a good cook, but unfortunately, a good cook cannot cook without rice, so there are not many opportunities for Liu Dong to be willing to offer his cooking skills.
However, whenever people go to Qin Wan’s small courtyard for a meal, Liu Dong is the chef nine times out of ten.
The only time it wasn’t the case was when Liu Dong had to stand by and give guidance.
Of course, when Liu Dong was cooking, everyone would not just stand by and watch, but would light the fire and pick the vegetables.
Everyone would be busy in the kitchen, just chatting while they were busy.
Of course, it was the same this time. After a while, bursts of laughter and the clatter of pots and pans could be heard from the kitchen, and the air was filled with the smell of warmth and happiness.
As night fell, a sumptuous dinner was served. Everyone sat together and toasted to wish Qin Wan a happy future.
At this moment, friendship and blessings intertwined together, becoming the most precious memory in Qin Wan's heart. She knew that no matter where she went, this friendship would be her strongest backing.
During the chat, Zhang Erxiu accidentally mentioned Qin Ruanruan, and everyone quickly winked at her. Qin Wan smiled as soon as she saw it:
"There's nothing to be shy about. Just say whatever you want to say. In my heart, she's just like a stranger. I've heard a few things about her, but they say she had a heart attack and went back to the city yesterday."
Seeing that Qin Wan really didn't care about them talking about Qin Runrun, everyone started talking about it with confidence.
"I heard that she tried every possible means to get back to the city. Once, she even wanted to climb onto the captain's bed, but was chased out by the captain's grandmother with a cane. It was after that incident that Qin Runrun discovered that she had a heart disease." Zhou Dongmei gossiped with a smug look on her face.
"Yes, I heard about it too. This woman has a very bad heart. I heard that she once dragged Zhou Guodong into the woods, trying to frame Zhou Guodong so that he would give her some compensation." Wang Liming smiled contemptuously.
