Zheng Tiansen wanted to give Linglong a surprise, so he pretended not to know that Linglong's birthday was coming soon.
He would still find opportunities to talk to Linglong during meals.
When he is not on duty or busy, he will go to Tong's house, either to accompany Linglong to study or to play with Congcong.
His subtle and thoughtful attitude made Linglong no longer have any resistance to their marriage.
However, Linglong was too embarrassed to bring up the matter, so she planned to agree when Zheng Tiansen brought it up next time.
Unfortunately, Zheng Tiansen didn't know what she was thinking. He was afraid that if he brought it up again in a short period of time, it would seem like he was forcing her and putting pressure on her, so he suppressed it and didn't say anything.
It just so happened that he had recently shifted his attention to preparing a gift for Linglong, and was no longer so anxious about getting married.
He took some time to go into the city alone and looked at the watch window in the supply and marketing department. However, after looking at all the watches, he was not very satisfied with any of them.
"Are these the only styles available?" he asked the salesperson.
"People's Liberation Army, of course not. Some styles are sold out, and the new ones haven't arrived yet. Oh, and we'll have a new batch of goods next week, including Haishi brand."
Thinking there was still time, Zheng Tiansen decided to go into the city again next week.
But he didn't come empty-handed this time, and he bought some things for Linglong and Congcong.
Linglong had gotten used to not saying anything when he brought things over again.
Aunt Tong was also happy for Linglong when she saw this.
This time when he went to the supply and marketing department, Zheng Tiansen paid special attention to his surroundings. He didn't see Liu Baogen and felt a little happy.
Although he was not afraid of Liu Baogen, he felt that this man was like an elusive fly. Not only could he not be killed, but he was also an eyesore and affected his mood.
If possible, he hoped not to see this guy again.
It has to be said that Linglong's life has become much more comfortable since Liu Baogen left the army.
And there is more good news.
When Linglong went to work again, the quartermaster announced good news.
"Tomorrow, a few people will be coming to our cafeteria. From now on, everyone will have a fixed day off every week. After the new recruits come out of boot camp, we will need more people to handle the logistics. I estimate that everyone will be able to rest for five days every month from now on."
Who wouldn’t be happy to have more rest? As soon as these words were spoken, everyone cheered.
This was something the quartermaster had to negotiate with his superiors for a long time before reaching.
The staff of their group's various cooking teams are not complete, which makes everyone busy and tired on weekdays.
He didn't raise any high demands, he just hoped that the leaders would provide them with the necessary staff.
Fortunately, new soldiers were recruited this time, and the leaders agreed to his request to expand the logistics personnel.
Look, I have already transferred a few people to him from other places.
The quartermaster almost cried with joy.
Linglong was just happy that she had more free time every month, but Sister Niu's feelings were truly profound.
"Well, before, when the kids had their day off every week, I was basically not home. Now that we can have a day off every week and we have enough staff, I'll try to rest every Sunday as well."
As a mother, she also wants to spend more time with her children.
That’s right, Linglong thought of Congcong.
Congcong is still young and not in school now. When she goes to school, won’t she also face this problem?
Oh, it seems like she accidentally thought about things so far in the future.
When she returned home in the evening, Linglong shared the good news.
Aunt Tong and Tong Dazhu were naturally happy for her.
Congcong doesn't understand the point of having more holidays. As long as everyone is happy, he will just join in the fun.
As the weather gets warmer, everyone has changed out of their winter clothes and put on lighter clothes.
Aunt Tong took out the last piece of new polyester cloth she had saved and gestured to make a long-sleeved shirt for Linglong.
"Auntie, you should make it for yourself. I don't need it." The old lady worked so hard to save up new cloth that she was reluctant to use it. How could she enjoy it with peace of mind?
Seeing that she really didn't want it, Aunt Tong decided to do it for herself.
Influenced by Linglong, Aunt Tong still lives a simple life, but her ideas have changed a little. At least she knows how to enjoy life.
She still remembered what Linglong kept saying, like it's better to earn money than to save it, and people should enjoy life while they are alive.
Seeing that she no longer had to worry about her son's future, Aunt Tong began to enjoy her life with peace of mind.
Linglong had previously bought thick clothes for Congcong, but now that the weather is getting warmer, she has to prepare lighter clothes for Congcong.
When the new kitchen staff arrived, she agreed with the quartermaster on which day to take a rest.
Originally, she planned to hitchhike into the city by herself, without taking Congcong with her and without bothering Zheng Tiansen to drive.
However, as soon as Zheng Tiansen came home, he also knew that she was going to the city for work.
In fact, Linglong didn’t have any cloth coupons at all. In order to buy new cloth for Congcong, she had to borrow more cloth coupons from Sister Niu.
She didn't want Zheng Tiansen to know about this. After all, they didn't have any relationship yet, and she couldn't use his things with peace of mind.
When Zheng Tiansen knew about this, he would never let Linglong go alone. It just so happened that he also wanted to go to the supply and marketing department to see if the watch had arrived, so he said that he was free and asked them to go into the city together.
What could Linglong do? She could only agree.
Since Zheng Tiansen was about to drive, Linglong simply took Congcong with her and asked Aunt Tong if she wanted to go with them.
Aunt Tong thought that she was still young and went to the market to buy goods, and it had been a long time since she had been there, so she became interested.
She thought that when she went there, she could also help take care of Congcong and give Zheng Tiansen and Linglong more opportunities to spend time together.
So when the day of departure came, there were only four of them in the car.
Zheng Tiansen drove in the front, while Linglong and Aunt Tong sat in the back with Congcong.
Along the way, there were sounds of wind and laughter, it was lively and time passed quickly.
When Linglong took Congcong into the city, she was more prepared. She also brought a water cup, clean handkerchiefs, toilet paper, etc., all of which were put in a green cross-body military bag.
She had asked Aunt Tong to help her alter this bag using old cloth.
Compared to those commonly used by the army, it has more pockets and is more durable and practical.
When the car finally entered the city, Zheng Tiansen parked the car, and they walked towards the supply and marketing center together.
"Linglong, I have something to look at. You guys go ahead and I'll find you later."
"Okay." Linglong responded.
As soon as they left, Zheng Tiansen rushed to the watch counter.
Maybe it was because he was good-looking and a soldier that the salesperson still remembered him.
"Liberation Army officer, are you here to look at your watch again?"
"Yes, have the new goods arrived?"
"Here it is, here it is. I'll give it to you. Are you buying it for your lover?"
"Buy it for my fiancée." Zheng Tiansen said without hesitation.
"Oh, your fiancée is so lucky."
Although it is popular to buy three turns and one ring for weddings, how many families can really buy the whole set? If the man can buy one of these three turns and one ring for the wedding, girls from ordinary families will be very happy.
Zheng Tiansen looked at all the new arrivals and finally found one that he liked.
"That's it."
"You have a really good eye, Shizhi. This is the most expensive one in our batch. It's 130 yuan. It's a genuine Haishi brand."
Fortunately, Zheng Tiansen had prepared enough money so he didn't get into any trouble.
