Chapter 160 Someone Came to Deliver Gifts
By the time Brigade Commander Liang and Regiment Commander Li arrived, the meal was ready.
It was food prepared precisely at the time they arrived.
Most of the dishes were prepared by Sister Li and the others, but the cooking was done by Jiang Ning. She smelled strongly of cooking oil fumes. When she went inside to change her clothes, everyone was waiting for her, but no one touched their chopsticks.
After sitting down to eat, Qian Feng and Yang Zhengtu, who were very good at socializing, kept calling her "sister-in-law" enthusiastically.
Shen Mo recovered and was able to resume training as he had hoped.
Shen Mo resumed his training, and Jiang Ning wasn't home every day anymore; she returned to Grandpa Huang's clinic.
When she arrived at the clinic, Huang Xiaodong was taking pulses and treating patients, putting into practice all the knowledge he had learned from Jiang Ning.
Upon seeing Jiang Ning, Huang Xiaodong exclaimed with delight, "Sister Ning, you're finally back!"
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow and said, "I bet you're doing just fine even if I don't come back."
She could tell when she was teaching Huang Xiaodong that he was a promising candidate for medical school; he wasn't incapable of it, he just didn't like to learn.
The incident a few months ago was both a blow and a turning point for him.
Huang Xiaodong scratched his head and said, "I'm materialistic. Once you make a lot of money, your mindset naturally changes."
After saying that, he ran into the house, and when he came out, he was carrying a brown paper bag. Jiang Ning didn't need to guess to know that it contained money.
Even though he had already made a lot of money, Huang Xiaodong still felt a bit overwhelmed by the amount of money in his hands.
Huang Xiaodong said, "By the way, Sister Ning, can you give me an account number? If you're not in the family compound in the future, I can go to the bank and transfer the money directly to your account."
Jiang Ning did not refuse; she gave Huang Xiaodong her bank account details.
Huang Xiaodong still has a lot to learn. With Jiang Ning's arrival, the two temporarily resumed their master-disciple relationship.
After resuming training, Shen Mo devoted himself to it wholeheartedly, but recently there have been quite a few internal conflicts within the camp.
Including his trip to Qingxian to help train new field recruits, his return to pick up experts and professors to bring them back to China, and his nearly three-month hospital stay due to injury, he hasn't seen his soldiers for a long time.
As soon as he returned to the camp, the morale of the regiment he led instantly soared, but he also sensed a different emotion.
Because of his sudden injury, the camp transferred a deputy regimental commander to temporarily take his place. After he resumed training, he naturally returned to his original position.
The deputy regimental commander who succeeded him trained his men, but having two deputy regimental commanders in one regiment was a bit unreasonable. And since the soldiers only listened to Shen Mo, the other one was left in an awkward position.
Shen Mo always only cares about his own affairs. As long as it doesn't affect training, he doesn't really care whether there is another person.
Shen Mo didn't care, but that didn't mean others didn't care.
Ever since Wu Yunfei was transferred to the Capital Military Region, nothing about him has been right.
Although the men of the 711 Regiment obeyed orders, they were still resentful of him, the newly transferred deputy regimental commander.
After Shen Mo returned, the people of the 711th Regiment were even more resentful of him. When he trained people with Shen Mo, they only listened to Shen Mo. He would give orders from time to time, but no one listened to him.
Later, it was Shen Mo who spoke first, and only then did the soldiers obey his orders.
After the soldiers obeyed, Wu Yunfei trained them ruthlessly, as if he wanted to vent his frustration from the past few days.
With Shen Mo's orders in place, the 711th Regiment would obey. Among all the regiments in the camp, the 711th Regiment trained the most rigorously.
One day, Jiang Ning returned home from the clinic and saw two people lying in her yard like dead dogs as soon as she opened the gate.
It startled her.
Shen Mo came out of the kitchen and kicked each of them, saying, "Get up."
Qian Feng and Yang Zhengtu were lightly kicked, and they immediately got up from the ground.
Shen Mo glanced at them indifferently, "You two should go back."
Unexpectedly, the two suddenly slid to their knees and pounced on Shen Mo's legs, hugging his thighs. Yang Zhengtu pretended to be crying and said, "Brother Shen, if you don't feed us, we won't leave. When is Deputy Regiment Commander Wu finally leaving? You two are devils! What kind of regiment has two deputy regiment commanders training together?"
Qian Feng was Shen Mo's orderly. He didn't dare to say what Yang Zhengtu said, but he still said indirectly, "Deputy Regiment Commander, I just want to stay for a meal, and I even want to go home with you for meals every day."
Shen Mo's forehead throbbed.
These two, one openly and one covertly, were both giving him hints, telling him to get rid of Wu Yunfei as soon as possible.
Although the group has been training hard lately, Shen Mo has also discovered Wu Yunfei's merits.
Everyone has different training methods, and the soldiers trained are also different. Shen Mo also saw Wu Yunfei's ruthlessness towards the 711 Regiment, but this ruthlessness was entirely beneficial, so he did not stop him.
Listening to their conversation, Jiang Ning guessed that they were referring to a deputy regimental commander who had been temporarily transferred to manage Shen Mo's troops during his recovery period.
Shen Mo told the two people clinging to his legs to go get their own food, while he led Jiang Ning to the main room to sit down.
During the meal, after overhearing their conversation, Jiang Ning guessed that the deputy regimental commander Wu, who had been temporarily transferred, was competing with her husband, Lao Shen. Two tigers cannot share one mountain, and she couldn't say anything about what was going on in Shen Mo's regiment, so she just ate her meal in silence.
However, she trusted Shen Mo; that Deputy Regiment Commander Wu was nowhere near as good as her husband, Shen.
She didn't care about the men's camp, but there were quite a few family members living in the family quarters, and there were also many officers in the camp. The news of Shen Mo and Wu Yunfei competing with each other in the camp suddenly spread in the family quarters at some point.
There were even rumors that people were making bets privately about who would stay and who would leave.
That day, Jiang Ning handed over the affairs of the clinic to Huang Xiaodong and went home early. In front of her house, she encountered a stylish woman in her twenties carrying some things.
Jiang Ning walked over, not understanding what was going on.
The other person looked over, and after seeing Jiang Ning's appearance, they paused for a few seconds before looking her up and down.
She asked, "Are you the wife of this deputy regimental commander?"
Jiang Ning nodded, then asked, puzzled, "Sister-in-law, are you looking for me?"
"Here, this is for you." The other person's expression was indifferent as they handed over the item in their hand.
Jiang Ning glanced at the things in her hands, didn't take them, and instead took a step back.
Judging from the other person's clothes and appearance, their family must be quite wealthy. The gifts they were carrying were not cheap either; there were some expensive snacks and malted milk powder, but the most valuable item was the small box at the top of the bag, which contained a Shanghai brand watch.
“Sister-in-law, please get to the point. This kind of thing doesn’t happen in my family.”
The other person frowned and said with some surprise, "You don't even like this? This is a Shanghai brand watch, it costs over a hundred yuan."
The woman who came was surnamed Qi. She was Wu Yunfei's wife and had been transferred here with him.
Her father and Wu Yunfei's father were both leaders in other military regions. It was because of this relationship that Wu Yunfei was transferred to the Capital Military Region.
Originally, she and Wu Yunfei received news that the deputy regimental commander of the 711th Regiment in the Capital Military Region might retire due to injury, which is why they were transferred here early. But now, not only has the other party not retired due to injury, but Wu Yunfei is even facing being transferred away.
Qi Yu didn't want her husband to be transferred, so she thought of giving him a gift. If the other party accepted the gift, she could continue the conversation.
She believed the gift was very valuable and that the recipient would definitely accept it.
But Jiang Ning's reaction was beyond her expectations.
