Chapter 327
The night gradually fell, and the noisy training ground outside gradually became quiet.
At this time, the innermost office of the Engineering Research Institute was still brightly lit.
Vice President Zhang lowered his head and wrote furiously under the desk lamp.
On a workbench not far away, a middle-aged man and woman were assembling an extended submachine gun.
Song Jingzhou held a pencil and made marks on the drawing attentively. From time to time, he pointed at the unfinished assault weapon and offered his opinions.
Time passed minute by minute, until the outside world fell into complete sleep. Vice President Zhang tapped his back with his backhand and stood up.
"Okay, let's stop here for today."
"Everyone has worked hard these past few days. You can take a good rest for a while. The next steps can only be continued after the report is submitted and approved."
As Vice President Zhang finished speaking, Song Jingzhou and another couple stopped what they were doing and instantly relaxed their tense bodies.
As Song Jingzhou untied his gloves, he raised his wrist to look at his watch.
Two twenty-seven in the morning.
"President Zhang, we'll be leaving first." The middle-aged man and woman packed up, yawned, and waved goodbye to Vice President Zhang.
"Okay, you guys go first."
Song Jingzhou collected all the drawings on the table, stuffed them into his drawer, and quickly locked it.
"Old man, what are you looking at? Let's go. You said you'd be free for a long time. We'll deal with other things tomorrow."
Vice President Zhang didn't even raise his head. "You go back first. I still have some finishing work to do. I'm too lazy to come tomorrow."
Song Jingzhou stood in front of him with his hands in his pockets. "Anyway, I don't have anything to do in the next few days, so I'm telling you in advance that I have to be away for a few days."
Vice President Zhang looked up. "How many days? Where are you going? Aren't you from Xiangnan? Why aren't you going back to the army at night?"
Song Jingzhou laughed mischievously, "Do you think I'm the same as you, a loner?"
"I'm in a relationship, and my partner is from Kyoto. I have elders at home, so I'll go back and visit them."
Vice President Zhang glanced at Song Jingzhou with a complicated expression, "You kid, do you still respect the elderly and love the young?"
"What are you looking at, old man? Who are you looking down on?"
Vice President Zhang lowered his head and asked, "Do you know when I first met you?"
"when?"
“Three years ago!”
"Why don't I have any impression?"
"At that time, you were training with your company of soldiers next to the fish pond in the back mountain. You shook down all the dates from the date tree next to the fish pond, leaving none for me."
"I took good care of that date tree. Not only did it not produce any dates for me, but I even broke its branches when I shook it. I was so angry that I started cursing on the spot."
"As a result, you, a bunch of new recruits, started yelling at me. You were so arrogant that I was really pissed off. Later, I called Zhou Long over. Finally, someone reasonable showed up. Although he was reluctant, he at least forced you to apologize to me."
"Seeing you all so dejected, I thought you were just a bunch of kids, and I felt a little bad, wondering if I was being too harsh on you."
"Good boy, I didn't expect that."
Vice President Zhang suddenly raised his voice, "You guys apologized and turned around and left. I was just starting to feel guilty! But then two people suddenly rushed out from the back of the team, each holding a foot, picked me up and threw me into the fish pond."
"I yelled so loudly, but no one turned back~"
Song Jingzhou's mouth twitched, and he suddenly interrupted Vice President Zhang, "Alright, alright, Old Man Zhang."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"How can it be okay with you? I remember clearly that one of the people who carried my damn thing was you!"
Song Jingzhou said with a righteous look on his face, "Old Zhang, I'm telling you, please don't slander me. Am I that kind of person? No wonder Liu Chuanzhi keeps saying that you're old and your eyesight is blurry. I think he's right."
"I'm an honest and dutiful soldier. I've been a role model for the team for three consecutive years. How could I do such a wicked thing?"
"I think Liu Chuanzhi is right. You are just old and your eyesight is blurry."
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going home to sleep. You can stay up late if you want. By the way, I've already called you. I'm taking the next few days off."
After Song Jingzhou finished speaking, he turned around and left with an expressionless face.
As soon as he turned his head, his tense face immediately twisted, his eyes widened, and his two rows of big white teeth bared like a Husky.
Damn, that’s monkey poop.
The annoying old man he had stuck in the mud of the fish pond turned out to be Old Man Zhang. This old man hasn't changed at all, and his mouth is so mean that it can make people angry to death.
Back then, he relied on his mouth to fight against the entire company of soldiers. Not only was he invincible, but he also made them almost vomit to death.
Shameless old man, what do you mean by his date tree? It's obviously wild...
After a good night's sleep, the next morning, Song Jingzhou first went to find Old Man Zhang to get the note, and then went to the army behind to find Su Jindong.
When Su Jindong knew that Song Jingzhou was going back, he quickly took out all the allowance he had received this month.
"Here, all of this is for you. You have to bring it to my grandma. She will definitely not be willing to spend it. If you have time, you can buy everything for the old lady."
"The old lady likes to eat noodles, but her teeth are not good. You can give her some eggs instead. She also likes to drink tea. If it is convenient, you can give her some sugar and soft cakes."
Song Jingzhou looked at the money and notes in Su Jindong's hand and asked, "Why don't you keep some for yourself?"
"I kept it, I still have six dollars left."
"Now I don't need to coax my partner, just give me milk. It's better to give milk flowers to me than to give flowers to others."
Song Jingzhou was about to say something when he suddenly noticed something. He looked up and met the vicious gaze of Su Changan, who was lying on the side of the corridor on the second floor of the dormitory opposite.
Su Jindong realized it later and saw Song Jingzhou looking behind him, so he turned around and looked over.
At this time, Su Changan gave the two of them a provocative smile, stretched out a hand and made a shooting gesture towards them.
Song Jingzhou's eyes darkened, "When did this thing come back?"
Su Jindong's expression darkened. "It's been a week since I came back, and he's been like a mad dog, always barking at me."
Song Jingzhou turned around and said to Su Jindong with a serious face, "He probably wants to use his old tricks again to provoke you and make you make a mistake."
"Don't fall for his tricks. Try to have as little contact with him as possible."
"It's only been a short time, and he's already feeling completely different from the last time. Last time, he was still able to maintain that face."
"He's openly showing his hostility towards us now. It seems the incident at home has had a huge impact on him. No matter how scheming he is, he's only in his early twenties after all..."
