Su Jianshan grinned, and his funny tone made Su Niannian laugh. The brother and sister chatted in the bamboo forest until the sun set, then they walked in different directions, one after the other.
When Su Niannian stepped into the dormitory, Gao Shanyue was simmering medicine on a small stove, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan, while Chen Luo was preparing dinner by the stove. In order to save money, they were even unwilling to go to the cafeteria.
Su Niannian stepped forward and took the palm-leaf fan from Gao Shanyue: "I'll do it myself."
Gao Shanyue raised her eyebrows and said in a sly voice: "Are you afraid that I will poison you?! Su Niannian, look at your petty appearance, you will only be a deputy captain in this life..."
"..."
Seeing that Su Niannian ignored her, Gao Shanyue smiled instead. She brought a small stool and sat next to Su Niannian, saying seriously, "It was my fault that night. I didn't know that you were so fragile, Miss. I hope you can forgive me and get well soon so as not to delay our progress, okay?"
"I see."
Su Nian didn't even think about it. After saying a few perfunctory words, she went straight into the house. When she entered the house to pack her luggage, she subconsciously placed the money given by Su Jianshan on the pillow temporarily. As soon as she lifted the pillow, she saw a uniquely shaped dagger lying inside. It looked a bit like the one Gao Shanyue carried with her all the time.
"This is for you." Gao Shanyue leaned against the door, his voice cold.
Su Niannian refused: "This is something your father gave you. It's your favorite. Why would you give it to me?"
"Didn't I tell you? I hate them, so I don't like anything they give me. Su Niannian, just take this knife. If I make a mistake again in the future, you can do whatever you want to me." Under the dim sunlight, Gao Shanyue's face was bright and beautiful, and she seemed to have really developed a dependence and trust in Su Niannian.
Su Niannian took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, you said it."
Tomorrow is the time agreed with the dance team. Everyone went to bed very early tonight, especially Su Niannian. She was tired all day long and fell asleep almost as soon as she hit the bed.
The next day.
Gao Shanyue helped carry her bag and walked lazily to the front door of the regiment to meet up with the others. Her lazy eyes disappeared when she saw Jiang Xiaofei waiting on the roadside. She burst out with a national treasure: "Damn! You want to go to this thing too?! I'm so fucking unlucky, why are you following me everywhere!?"
Jiang Xiaofei raised her chin with a haughty look: "I'm not here for you. The water sleeve dance compiled by Deputy Captain Su last time was pretty good. This time our team doesn't want to fall behind, so I came alone. It won't be a burden to you, right, Captain Gao?!"
Gao Shanyue stood directly between her and Su Niannian, with a wary look on his face.
"Stay away from my vice-captain, get out of here..."
She herself didn't seem very gentle when treating Su Niannian. You have to know that she is a pregnant woman, and a delicate and frail one at that. Jiang Xiaofei's pupils shrank and she scolded her subconsciously.
"Don't touch her either!"
"..."
"..."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gao Shanyue gritted his teeth and rolled up his sleeves: "You bastard! I knew you had bad intentions!"
The two of them fought like black-eyed chickens. In the end, Su Niannian stepped in and used the mission as an important breakthrough to calm the two of them temporarily. Gao Shanyue took Chen Luo to the station to buy tickets in a menacing manner.
Jiang Xiaofei followed behind Su Niannian at a leisurely pace. After a while, she said in a low voice, "Really, if it weren't for Xiao Gu's sake, I wouldn't want to go on a folk song-collecting trip with this kind of person. He's like a firecracker in the hot summer, exploding at the slightest touch."
"Xiao Gu? Why are you speaking to my grandma in the same tone? Aren't you afraid that Gu Zhiye will be angry?!"
The smile on Jiang Xiaofei's lips froze and she almost jumped.
"I'm talking about the one in your belly!"
Liu Tao and Feng Meng stood there guarding the luggage and did not hear the two people talking. God knows, even Liu Tao didn't know what Su Niannian was thinking. Only Jiang Xiaofei could protect her at the critical moment. What she said was not nonsense. She would never let that madman from the Gao family hurt Su Niannian in the slightest.
Jiang Xiaofei held on to this thought until Gao Shanyue came over with the train ticket. She was dumbfounded, "Yue County? Why go to such a far place?!"
Jiang Xiaofei thought it was too far, so she subconsciously looked at Su Niannian.
Gao Shanyue distributed the tickets one by one and sneered, "We should go to meaningful places to collect folk songs. Have you heard of the Flower Drum Song? The "mountaineering steps" and singing styles are what we need to focus on learning. They are the core of this dance. If Captain Jiang is not interested in this dance, or is afraid of hardship, it's not too late for you to go back now!"
"Who said I'm going back?!" Jiang Xiaofei knew in her heart what was more important. Although Gao Shanyue was crazy, her talent was well-known in the imperial capital. Of course, that was before she went crazy. Now, Jiang Xiaofei was more willing to believe Su Niannian. After the other party nodded, she immediately held her head high and walked in front.
A group of people got on the train in a mighty manner.
…
At the same time, Gu Zhiye, looking tired, got off the car.
He had a clear goal and went straight to the art troupe. While others were training, he happened to be standing outside the rehearsal hall, like a tall poplar, standing more standardly than a military posture.
After teaching the second team a dance, Liao Yu saw a group of female soldiers chattering around the window. She shouted, "What are you looking at?!"
"Captain, look, isn't that Deputy Commander Gu from the neighboring military district?!"
Liao Yu stuck her head out and saw Gu Zhiye waiting outside. Thinking of what Deputy Director Zhang had told her, she immediately disbanded the team and hurried downstairs. All the female comrades from the art troupe poured out of the building like a swarm of carp crossing a river. Although Gu Zhiye was still in the same posture, his eyes clearly looked over there, trying to find that familiar face among the thousands of people.
"Deputy Captain Gu?! Why did you deliver the things in person? Sorry for the trouble." Liao Yu walked over at some point and looked at him with a smile, his attitude respectful.
"The disaster relief work hasn't been finalized yet. I was going to come to the regiment headquarters, so I brought this thing over." As soon as he finished speaking, he handed the document in his hand to Liao Yu. While lowering his eyes, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you come here in person to get it? Where is your deputy captain?"
This kind of thing is usually handled by the deputy team leader, and the captain only needs to show up for the regiment's affairs. Liao Yu was stunned for a second and smiled: "Our second team does not have a deputy captain for the time being."
"Didn't Deputy Captain Zhang say to pay attention to the new comrade in your team who is very good at choreography? I thought..." Gu Zhiye mentioned at the right time.
"You are talking about Su Niannian, right? She joined the choreography team and is no longer under our control."
"..."
Gu Zhiye's eyes darkened. He didn't even bother to deal with Liao Yu. He immediately took time out to go to his eldest brother-in-law Su Jianshan's dormitory and delivered the kelp and other specialties he brought for the other party. He didn't have time last time and forgot about Su Jianshan.
When Su Jianshan saw what Gu Zhiye brought, he was stunned.
"Why is there more? I haven't even finished the ones Nian Nian brought me..."
Gu Zhiye frowned: "She gave all the things to you?!"
"Yeah! My sister said she doesn't like it."
From Su Jianshan's few words, Gu Zhiye understood what had happened during this period. He was sure that something had happened to Su Niannian, so she chose to go to the choreography team. Unfortunately, he couldn't contact her now, making it difficult for him to understand. When the two were chatting in the dormitory, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Zhang Yan came in with a lunch box and saw the table full of kelp. He was stunned: "Old Gu, did you bring all this back?!"
"If you like it, give it to the soldiers as a snack." Gu Zhiye felt inexplicably irritated.
Deputy Director Zhang waved his hands quickly: "No, although this thing is delicious, it's best not to put it in the cafeteria, lest the Gao family kid sees it. Last year, because of a dish of kelp stewed pig's trotters, the roof of our cafeteria was almost blown off. It was too horrible. After that incident, most of the choreography team left. No one dared to work with a madman..."
Gu Zhiye's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately caught the key words: "Choirography team?"
"Yes, it's Takayama Tsuki from the choreography team. I get scared when I see her."
A gust of wind suddenly blew by, and Gu Zhiye ran away. Deputy Captain Zhang held the braised pork in his hand and asked in confusion: "Hey, you're not having dinner?!"
"We'll meet again sometime. Take good care of Comrade Su--!"
