Chapter 164 Besides "uh-huh", all he can do is "uh-huh".
Hearing this, Jiang Si looked over with amusement. She was already thirty years old, how could she still be so childish?
He Ping didn't expect his commander to ask this question, but he was a straightforward person.
On another note, our leader's face looks good with any hairstyle!
After carefully examining it for a while, He Ping gave it a sincere thumbs up.
"Commander, your wife's cooking is absolutely amazing!"
Huo Tingzhou curled his lips into a smile. "I think so too."
He added, "This is your sister-in-law's first time cutting hair."
Really?
He Ping was genuinely surprised. He wasn't very good at praising people, so he just kept repeating the same two words: "Handsome!"
He said it, but the key point is that Huo Tingzhou nodded in agreement.
If He Ping hadn't been there, Jiang Si would have wanted to pinch him.
Showing off! Okay, I'll show you what you're got!
It's just a buzz cut, why are you so smug?
Seeing that the two of them were exchanging their experiences on the spot, Jiang Si quickly cleared her throat a few times.
"He Ping, is there something you need to see your regimental commander about?"
"Oh, right, right, right."
He Ping said cheerfully, "Commander, the food in the canteen is already being prepared. The head chef is asking if you want to eat there or take it home."
Huo Tingzhou looked directly at Jiang Si.
Jiang Si thought for a moment, "Are there many people in the cafeteria at this time?"
Huo Tingzhou glanced at the time. "The soldiers have finished training. There shouldn't be many people around at this time."
Jiang Si decisively said, "Then let's go to the cafeteria."
The guesthouse rooms weren't very big either; it would be too cramped for the five of them to eat in one room.
Moreover, the last time I ate a meal in the room, the smell took a long time to dissipate.
Huo Tingzhou said "okay," and then looked at He Ping, "You go first, we'll be there in a bit."
"Yes, Commander."
He Ping left, and Jiang Si thought that the haircut incident was over.
Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she was met with Huo Tingzhou's extremely aggressive and handsome face.
Although he didn't speak, the meaning conveyed by his eyes was very clear.
Jiang Si glared at him, "Didn't He Ping just praise you for ages?"
“He Ping is He Ping.” Huo Tingzhou still cared more about his wife’s opinion.
Helpless, Jiang Si cupped his face in her hands and said earnestly, "He really is handsome."
This time, she gave Huo Tingzhou a regular buzz cut, just with slightly more intricate layers.
Then, on the sides and back of the neck, she applied the injections rather thinly.
So the overall look is clean and refreshing, appearing very neat and tidy.
Ultimately, it's Huo Tingzhou's good looks that really stand out.
However, after the haircut, his eyebrows and brows gained a more wild and intense look, which is true.
For a fleeting moment, Jiang Si was genuinely captivated by his handsomeness.
Ah, food and sex are human nature.
She's ultimately someone who judges people by their looks.
Fortunately, her man was easy to coax. Jiang Si only said one sentence, and when Huo Tingzhou came downstairs, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
After hearing the news, Uncle San stroked his hair and sighed for a long time.
I wish he hadn't gone to get a haircut before he left.
Jiang Si understood his thoughts perfectly well, and immediately expressed her opinion.
"Third Uncle, when your hair grows long, I'll cut it for you."
Practice makes perfect.
With Huo Tingzhou as her living advertisement, Jiang Si is now bursting with confidence.
Third Uncle grinned from ear to ear, "Alright, I'll be waiting."
Jiang Si hummed in agreement, then took his arm and headed towards the cafeteria.
There were hardly any people left in the cafeteria at this time, but there were still quite a few people doing physical training on the training field.
Upon seeing Huo Tingzhou, everyone shouted in unison, "Greetings, Commander Huo!"
Huo Tingzhou nodded, signaling them to continue.
Perhaps because these people were speaking too loudly, the group in front also stopped.
"Commander Yao, Political Commissar Li."
Huo Tingzhou stepped forward and gave a standard military salute.
Jiang Si also greeted them, "Hello, Division Commander, Hello, Political Commissar."
Commander Yao smiled and nodded. "You just got back today?"
Huo Tingzhou replied succinctly, "Hmm."
“I didn’t ask you.” Commander Yao glanced at him.
Having spent so many years in the Fourth Division, how could he not know Huo Tingzhou's temperament?
That's all they can say besides "hmm".
With no outsiders present, Commander Yao said directly, "You're always making those 'uh-huh' noises all day long. How can Comrade Xiao Jiang stand it?"
Speaking of Xiao Jiang, Commander Yao recalled something.
"Xiao Jiang, we saw your mural in the newspaper, it's really well done!"
"You've really made our Fourth Division look good this time."
"Commander Yao, you flatter me."
Jiang Si dared not take all the credit for herself. "That mural is the result of the entire team's hard work. I was just the final artist. I'm already very happy to have been a part of this project."
Commander Yao nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
When he first met this girl, he knew she was a capable and tactful young woman.
Seeing her speak with composure and humility, and her gratitude, I admire her even more.
"Xiao Jiang, do you have some time lately?"
Generally, when someone asks this question, it means they want something from you.
Sure enough, before Jiang Si could even ask what it was about, Commander Yao spoke up.
“A few days ago, the head of the propaganda department of the division contacted me and said that the Lunar New Year is coming soon and their propaganda department also plans to paint some murals.”
Commander Yao was not entirely ignorant of the affairs in the capital, and knew that the work on the Five Senses Treasury under Jiang Si's control was not yet finished.
He said with a smile, "You don't need to draw it yourself. If you have time, you can just give me some guidance."
Since Commander Yao had already said so much, Jiang Si no longer refused.
In fact, she still remembered the kindness shown to her during the last broadcast.
In this era where class background is paramount, even with all the donation receipts in her possession, not everyone has the courage to stand up and support the Jiang family.
Seeing that Jiang Si had agreed, Commander Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
After a brief chat, their gazes finally fell on Huo Tingzhou's newly cut buzz cut.
"The haircut is nice."
Commander Yao just said it casually.
Who knew that after Huo Tingzhou finished saying "uh-huh," he went on to say a long string of words.
Commander Yao was stunned after hearing this.
Fortunately, Political Commissar Li reacted quickly and made a joke with a smile.
"It seems that Commander Huo will be able to save a lot on paperwork in the future."
After saying that, he didn't forget to praise Jiang Si, "I didn't expect that Xiao Jiang's hands could not only draw, but also cut hair so well."
"It really is true that you have to work in one field and then move on to another."
Jiang Si laughed awkwardly: "No, I was just cutting randomly."
Fortunately, these people only chatted briefly.
Before leaving, Political Commissar Li suddenly remembered something.
"Commander Huo, have you finalized the list of recommendations from the military academy?"
"If it's not confirmed yet, you need to hurry up and give me the list by the 25th of this month at the latest."
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
After Commander Yao and Political Commissar Li and the others had walked away, Jiang Si looked over.
She hadn't originally planned to ask, but Huo Tingzhou's furrowed brow was just too obvious.
"Was this list difficult to select?"
A little.
The military academy recommendation was no secret, so on the way to the canteen, Huo Tingzhou briefly mentioned it to Jiang Si.
Under current policy, the flight regiment has three slots for recommending students to military academies every two years.
One person will be selected from the flight squadron, and one person will be selected from the maintenance backbone team.
The remaining person was selected from four departments: radar, communications, security, and political work.
Currently, there are a total of 120 people in the group who meet the recommendation criteria.
Once selected, candidates are graded based on their test scores, with many specific assessment criteria.
For example, party membership, social background, education, meritorious service, professional skills, technical qualifications, enlistment time, etc.
In addition to these, there are some other points deducted.
As a regimental-level officer, Huo Tingzhou had absolute authority to recommend candidates.
However, this year's situation is quite special. Among the flight squadron and maintenance personnel, five people have the same score.
No matter who you choose, the rest of the people will be dissatisfied.
The last person chosen has been confirmed, and that person is He Ping.
