Chapter 300
Guo Rong and Yang Hongmei felt Shang Yuping's coldness and looked at each other, their eyes full of gossip.
Feeling the other person's strong gaze, Su Qingci raised her head and looked in the direction of Shang Yuping.
Song Jingzhou was still holding the braised pork on the tray and giving it to Su Qingci. "Hey, eat more. I eat with the old man in the No. 2 cafeteria every day. It's not easy for you to eat here once."
When Shang Yuping heard Song Jingzhou's word "brother", the coldness in his eyes disappeared. Su Qingci is his sister?
Song Jingzhou saw Su Qingci looking to the side, and he looked over too.
Don’t know!
Shang Yuping gave a shy smile, her eyes filled with excitement, "Comrade Song!"
"Weren't you demobilized? When did you return to the team?"
"Who are you?"
Shang Yuping didn't mind and quickly reminded him, "Zhou Long, my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law is having a dinner at home, and I poured the soup on you!"
Song Jingzhou suddenly realized, "Oh, it's you, you've joined the army too?"
Before Song Jingzhou retired from the army, the battalion commander he followed was Zhou Long. Once, during a mission or a competition, they won a great victory. Battalion Commander Zhou invited his team members to his home for dinner. At that time, Shang Yuping had just come from the border to live with her sister and was staying at Zhou Long's house.
At that time, she was helping her sister in the kitchen. When she brought out the dishes, she was so nervous that most of the soup spilled on Song Jingzhou.
Fortunately, it was winter and they were wearing thick cotton clothes, but the two sisters of the Shang family were scared to death.
Shang Yuna started to blame her sister, and Zhou Long's face looked unhappy. Seeing that the other party did not do it on purpose, Song Jingzhou was so scared that he eased the atmosphere and helped to resolve the matter.
I didn’t expect that the little girl who lived under someone else’s roof back then is now a revolutionary comrade.
Shang Yuping was delighted to see that Song Jingzhou remembered her. "Yes, I was drafted in the following year and am now on duty in the 109th Regiment's hair salon. I never had the chance to thank you for what you did back then."
"Later, I heard from my brother-in-law that you were demobilized and returned home?"
Song Jingzhou said politely, "Yes."
"Is Captain Zhou okay? I just got back and haven't had time to visit you all."
"It's pretty good. I was promoted to deputy group leader last year!"
Song Jingzhou nodded and said nothing more. Shang Yuping looked at Song Jingzhou's specially made uniform and asked again, "Comrade Song, is he currently at the Equipment Department Research Institute?"
Song Jingzhou nodded while eating, "Yeah, yeah!"
"Comrade Song, please come visit my brother-in-law when you have time. I often hear him talking about you!"
Su Qingci looked at Shang Yuping with a puzzled look. The other party smiled at her friendlyly, which made Su Qingci even more confused.
Although Shang Yuping has always presented a friendly image to the outside world, isn't this a bit too enthusiastic?
It's obvious that she has been ignoring me in the dormitory these days.
Are you interested in Song Jingzhou?
Was there an incident of a hero saving a damsel in distress that you didn’t know about?
After dinner, Su Qingci took Song Jingzhou to the playground to force a confession.
"Guang Zong Yao Zu, what's going on between you and Shang Yu Ping? Tell me all those unknown secrets that I don't know about."
Song Jingzhou smiled and reached out to pinch Su Qingci's chubby face.
"What? Are you jealous?"
"That has nothing to do with me. I've only met him twice."
"Before I retired from the army, my battalion commander was her brother-in-law. When she came, the battalion commander took me on a mission and happened to be driving, so he picked her up on the way. The next time I met her was when I went to the battalion commander's house for dinner."
"I don't even know her name!"
"That's when we were rescued."
Su Qingci squinted her eyes and said, "It's better if nothing happens. I'm telling you, you'd better keep your male ethics. If you dare to scumbag me, I'll kill you!"
Song Jingzhou stood at attention and saluted Su Qingci, "Yes, sir!"
Then he pulled her braid and played with it, "Okay, okay, what's with you saying you're not used to being in the army?"
When talking about this, Su Qingci's face fell, "I don't want to live with others."
"Also, when it's time to turn off the lights, you have to go to bed. You have to get up early in the morning to make the quilt. It's past five o'clock, you have to get up after five o'clock!"
Su Qingci stretched out her hand, her face full of excitement. When she was herding cattle, she would not get up until five o'clock.
"We still have half an hour of drill to do. Even if I lock the door, the squad leader will come in looking for us!"
"Just climb onto the bed and grab it!"
"Anyway, I don't want to do this anymore. I want to get out!"
Song Jingzhou was anxious. "No, that's how the army is. It's a military-style management system. Everyone went through it this way at the beginning. You'll get used to it slowly."
Su Qingci said pitifully, "I don't think I can get used to it!"
"Unless I live alone!"
"I've rarely lived with other people in my life, and I had bunk beds. When my roommate turned over, the one above me swayed and rattled, just like riding a train!"
“There’s no privacy at all, and it’s crowded!”
"I can't stand it, I absolutely can't stand it!"
Song Jingzhou scratched his head. "Just bear with it for a while. It seems our Engineering Research Institute has passed the evaluation, so we can apply for a private room."
"I'll try my best. When the application is approved, I'll report to that old man and let you live here!"
Su Qingci looked skeptical, "Really?"
Song Jingzhou's face froze, his eyes vague, "Really!"
Su Qingci's vigilance was not wrong. When she returned to the dormitory again, Shang Yuping was obviously much friendlier to her.
"Comrade Su, are you coming from Xiangnan?"
Shang Yuping heard from his brother-in-law that Comrade Song was from southern Hunan!
Su Qingci didn't know what she meant, "Xiangnan? Yes, I just came back from Xiangnan!"
Shang Yuping smiled even more friendly, "Your brother, he..."
"My brother?"
"Isn't he your brother?"
"It's my brother, my dear brother!"
Shang Yuping froze, "Dear, dear brother?"
Su Qingci nodded, "Yes, my dear brother, he is my boyfriend, and I came to the army just for him!"
She clearly felt that Shang Yuping was curious about Song Jingzhou, so she just pointed it out directly. There was no need to hide such things, so as not to embarrass everyone later!
The smile on Shang Yuping's face gradually faded. He stopped talking and sat down at the head of his bed to fold clothes.
Then in the next few days, Su Qingci clearly felt isolated.
Shang Yuping spent less and less time in the dormitory.
Of course, she didn't care much about it. After finishing her shift, she would sneak into the farm to fish, raise chickens and ducks, and make preserved fruits when she had time. She would also make two delicious meals for herself whenever she had time. Not only Song Jingzhou got some, but Su Jindong also got some.
That day, Su Qingci killed two chickens on the farm and gave one to Su Jindong, and took the other to Song Jingzhou.
From a distance, I saw Song Jingzhou lowering his head and talking to a female soldier.
Song Jingzhou also saw Su Qingci and ran over with a happy look on his face.
"Why are you here?"
Su Qingci looked over Song Jingzhou's body and looked behind him. The figure seemed to be Shang Yuping.
"I brought you some food!" Su Qingci raised the large lunch box in her hand and asked, "Who was that just now?"
Song Jingzhou smiled and said, "My former battalion commander knows I'm back, and he sent a message saying that the brothers should get together and have dinner at the family compound tomorrow."
At this point, Song Jingzhou's eyes flashed with sadness. Brother? The pure feelings they once had were now mixed with too many calculations.
