When she got up in the morning to wash up, Linglong took off her watch on purpose and put it back on after she finished washing.
She loved the gift very much.
Zheng Tiansen really gave her a gift that touched her heart.
As soon as she entered the cafeteria, her apprentice Xiao Fang came to greet her.
"master."
Linglong nodded.
With Xiaofang as her apprentice, Linglong no longer had to do chores like washing vegetables, as Xiaofang took over all of them.
Sister Niu felt that there were still some amazing people. She was impressed and really happy for Linglong.
Sister Yuan in the corner was so envious and jealous.
"You can only cook a few dishes, but you are so arrogant! The quartermaster is really biased."
Because she dislikes Linglong, even though she doesn't dare to say unpleasant words to her face, her behavior still reveals that attitude.
Linglong and Sister Niu treated her as an invisible person most of the time and ignored her if possible.
In comparison, the other cooks in the kitchen also prefer Linglong and Sister Niu.
Although he didn't exclude Sister Yuan, his relationship with her became more and more ordinary.
This is also one of the reasons why Sister Yuan has become more and more sharp, but of course it is mainly her own fault.
When Linglong rolled up her sleeves and cut vegetables, Sister Niu took a look at the watch on her wrist.
"Hey, Linglong, you bought a watch. Let me see it."
Linglong stopped, and Sister Niu immediately picked up her wrist and looked at it from left to right.
"Wow, it's really beautiful. It's Haishi brand too. It must be very expensive, right?"
"It should be."
"You don't know what it should be. You bought the watch yourself."
"No, I didn't buy it. It was Brother Zheng. It was my birthday yesterday and he gave me this as a gift." She spoke in a lower and lower voice, feeling very embarrassed.
Sister Niu looked as if she had realized something. "I knew it." She knew Linglong had only been working for a few months, so it would be difficult for her to come up with the money and receipts to buy this obviously expensive Haishi brand watch.
But she just thought Linglong borrowed some, but she didn't expect it to be a birthday present from Zheng Tiansen.
"Linglong, you didn't even tell me it was your birthday yesterday. I don't have any other friends, but I could at least wish you a happy birthday."
Linglong said shyly, "I never celebrated my birthday before. Yesterday, when I got home from work, I found out that Brother Zheng and my brother had prepared a surprise."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're so well-intentioned! Oh, I'm so envious, Linglong! Captain Zheng really has you at the top of his mind. Alas, that bastard of mine, when we were dating, he only gave me a kiss."
When talking about Zheng Tiansen, Linglong felt more embarrassed.
Seeing that she was shy, Sister Niu smiled and stopped teasing her.
However, her two actions still caught the attention of Sister Yuan, who always paid attention to Linglong.
The watch is not a small item, and Sister Yuan could see it from a distance.
He immediately cursed in a low voice, "You little bastard."
Her first reaction was that Linglong would do whatever it took.
Fortunately, Linglong never cared about her feelings.
When Linglong was cooking, Xiaofang stood by and watched and learned.
What seasonings and how much, what heat, how long to stir-fry, and what small details need to be paid attention to.
Linglong taught Xiaofang while she was busy.
Xiao Fang nodded continuously as he listened and took notes very seriously.
There was a cook who was not busy at the moment and came over to listen for a while, and Linglong did not drive him away.
It was just about her cooking skills, and she didn't even think about hiding them.
Even if Xiao Fang doesn't want to be her disciple, she is still willing to teach him.
She didn't realize that more and more people came to listen.
Xiao Fang is also an open-minded person. He doesn't think that he is the only one who can learn after he becomes a disciple.
Sometimes I would communicate and discuss with other comrades, and the atmosphere in the cafeteria became more harmonious.
The quartermaster happened to come over and see this scene, and nodded with satisfaction. This is a very good and healthy development.
The food in the regiment's canteen became better and better, and gradually became the best among several regiments. Even the person in charge of the divisional canteen became more polite when he saw him, and the quartermaster became extremely proud.
When Zheng Tiansen came over to get his lunch, he stepped in front of Linglong and said, "Come out early after get off work today. I have something to tell you."
"Um."
As soon as Zheng Tiansen left, Linglong's heart started pounding.
What would Brother Zheng say?
No, the more I think about her, the more nervous I get.
During the busy afternoon, she was absent-minded several times, which attracted Sister Niu's frequent attention.
Linglong quickly reflected on herself. Look at you, you are only a little old. It's just a word. Zhong Linglong, be more mature.
Only then did she gather herself together and continue working.
"Xiao Fang, that's all. Remember the steps and practice more. Once you become proficient, just master the timing."
"Thank you, Master."
"You're welcome."
Linglong had just finished speaking when she saw Xiaofang take out a candy and was a little stunned.
"Master, I just found out that yesterday was your birthday. I, I don't have anything special to say, so I just gave you a piece of candy to sweeten your mouth and wish you a happy birthday." Maybe he felt that the gift was too frivolous, and Xiao Fang scratched his head embarrassedly.
Linglong smiled brightly, took the candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in her mouth, "It's so sweet, thank you."
Xiao Fang chuckled.
Linglong was also very happy. Although it was just a piece of candy, she was really satisfied.
This is probably what is called "the gift is more valuable than the thought", and she was very happy that Xiao Fang had this intention.
I walked out of the cafeteria chatting and laughing with Sister Niu, and saw Zheng Tiansen and others outside.
Sister Niu winked at Linglong and gave her a push. "Then I'll go back first."
Linglong walked up to Zheng Tiansen, holding the corner of her clothes, "Brother Zheng."
Zheng Tiansen's expression softened as he looked at her.
"Just take a walk."
"good."
"Linglong, I just contacted the Public Security Bureau again, and they said there's still no news about Congcong's family."
"Alas, it seems there is little hope." Linglong sighed.
"Linglong, what I said before still counts. What about you? Are you still willing to marry me and raise Congcong together?" He stopped and stared into Linglong's eyes seriously and persistently.
Linglong's heart trembled.
"I, of course I keep my word." She said with her eyes lowered.
For some reason, she didn't dare to look Zheng Tiansen in the eye. Maybe his eyes were too fiery.
"Really!" Zheng Tiansen was delighted.
"Of course it's true. Didn't I promise not to retaliate?" Linglong's tone contained a hint of grievance and awkwardness.
Zheng Tiansen chuckled. "Of course not. I'm just, I'm just too happy."
The voice was so gentle that Linglong was in a trance for a moment.
"So, we can prepare to get married, right?" he asked cautiously.
"It's up to you." Linglong answered in a low voice, pinching the corner of her clothes.
Although it was not a direct answer, it also expressed her meaning.
There was a deep smile in Zheng Tiansen's eyes. Looking at her shy and uneasy appearance, he liked her very much and wanted to hold her tightly in his arms.
Impulse got ahead of reason, and he really did it.
Suddenly, she fell into a warm and thick embrace. Before Linglong could react, she heard the man above her head whisper, "Linglong, you are such a troublesome little devil."
Linglong's face flushed red.
