Chapter 20 Finally settled



Linglong chatted with Zheng Tiansen and had a certain understanding of the work she was going to do.

Actually, he is just helping out with odd jobs in logistics because the quartermaster is short of staff and can't handle it.

If she goes there, she can help with the bookkeeping or help in the kitchen. She can go wherever she is needed.

Zheng Tiansen was afraid that Linglong would be frightened when she heard about the kitchen, but Linglong said straightforwardly: "Captain Zheng, don't worry, I will never embarrass you."

Won't you embarrass me? As he chewed these words, Zheng Tiansen's lips curled up.

Xiao Jiang looked through the rearview mirror from time to time, and saw that his team leader had laughed several times, and he had already started to slander him in his heart.

When had he ever seen the cold-blooded regimental commander laugh so often? Was what Comrade Linglong said funny? He felt as if he had seen a ghost, and his admiration for Linglong grew even greater.

After finishing his work, Zheng Tiansen told Linglong about accommodation.

In fact, he had been worried about where Linglong would live before.

After all, Linglong is not a real military dependent, so it is impossible for her to live in the house allocated by the army to their families like those military dependents.

Can Linglong be given a separate room? That's absolutely impossible.

No matter how much he felt sorry for Linglong and admired her, he couldn't take the lead in breaking discipline like this. Otherwise, how would others see him, and how could he lead the troops?

This didn't work, so he could only turn his attention to the dormitories of other affiliated units of the army.

For example, school dormitories, etc.

But after learning more about it, he discovered that in this type of dormitory, even for those who were transferred here as non-military dependents, only those with senior qualifications could be allocated a small single room, and the rest of the people still had to share a crowded room.

Linglong's situation was special, and he was afraid that it would be unfair to her if he rashly arranged her into one of those shared dormitories.

In his heart, Linglong is still a weak woman who has experienced many hardships and is fragile and needs care.

Just when he was worried, Tong Dazhu, who knew his distress, took the initiative to step forward.

Tong Dazhu suggested that Linglong could live in their house.

As for Linglong's reputation, since no one knew where Linglong came from, they just told others that Linglong was a relative of theirs.

In this way, even if he and Linglong are both single, it will not affect each other's reputation.

Besides, his mother has always felt lonely and likes Linglong very much. If Linglong lives in his house, it will definitely be a win-win situation.

Although Zheng Tiansen was still reluctant to let Linglong live in Tong Dazhu's house, he had to admit that this was the best arrangement for Linglong so far.

Linglong didn't expect that after her work problem was solved, accommodation would also be arranged for her.

Thinking of the honest Tong Dazhu and the kind-hearted Tong Da Niang, she began to look forward to her future life.

"Thank you, Captain Zheng. Because of you, I am so lucky."

Her sincere gaze and heartfelt gratitude were so scorching that Zheng Tiansen couldn't help but look away.

"It's nothing, this is what I should do."

Up front, Xiao Jiang, who was driving, started complaining in his heart again.

Captain, you can make up whatever you want. When have you ever been so warm and considerate to others? If someone doesn't know you, they would think Comrade Linglong is your daughter or sister.

Because of the continuous bad news, Linglong's mood also became more unhappy due to the influence of Liu Baogen.

She was so lucky to have met Captain Zheng, and people like Brother Tong and Aunt Tong.

She didn't think deeply about it. If she hadn't stepped forward and tried to save people when she was on the platform, how could she have formed this good relationship and received so many rewards?

All we can say is that the cause and effect of good and evil are all predetermined.

The jeep finally arrived at the camp.

Because he had already told Tong Dazhu, this time, Zheng Tiansen drove the car directly to the outside of Tong Dazhu's house before stopping.

As soon as Linglong got off the car, Aunt Tong, who had been waiting for a long time, came to greet her.

"Oh Linglong, you're finally here." She held Linglong's hand and started muttering.

"Auntie." Linglong smiled.

"Why call me Auntie? You kid, you have forgotten. You should call me Auntie." After being told by her son about Linglong's experience and the reason for the story, Aunt Tong began to get into the role.

Linglong was stunned for a moment before she realized her new identity. She grinned and called out "Auntie" affectionately.

"Oh." Aunt Tong smiled.

Zheng Tiansen and Xiao Jiang helped Linglong take down all her things, and Aunt Tong immediately warmly invited them into the house.

Some of the military families living nearby, who were neither in school nor working, heard the noise outside and came out to see, thinking that Linglong was a new relative of the Tong family.

As soon as Linglong entered the house, Aunt Tong led her to the room on the left.

"I live here. From now on, we can live here together. What do you think?"

When she came in, Linglong also saw the layout of the room clearly.

The larger one in the middle combines the functions of a living room, dining room and kitchen. The one on the right is most likely Brother Tong’s bedroom.

"Auntie, I'm really sorry to cause trouble to you and Brother Tong." Linglong said unhappily. Originally, Auntie's bedroom was occupied by one person, but because of her arrival, it became a bedroom for two people.

"I already told you to call me Auntie. If you keep being so polite, I'll get angry. You don't know how much I've been looking forward to your coming. I'd be so happy if you could stay here."

Seeing that Aunt Tong was really happy, Linglong felt less guilty and also remembered the kindness of taking her in.

Zheng Tiansen and Xiao Jiang did not follow in and were still standing in the outer hall. When he heard the conversation between Linglong and Aunt Tong in the inner room, Zheng Tiansen felt a little relieved.

After a while, Linglong and Aunt Tong came out.

"Excuse me, Captain Zheng, you and Xiao Jiang can go and do your work. I'm here to take care of this." Aunt Tong started to chase people away.

Zheng Tiansen really had no reason to stay here any longer, so he looked at Linglong and said a few more words.

"Don't worry about what you're doing. You can come over anytime once you're settled. If you have any questions, either tell your brother Dazhu or talk to Xiaojiang and me."

"I understand. Thank you, Captain Zheng."

Zheng Tiansen really wanted to say, "Don't keep thanking me," but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

"Then Xiao Jiang and I will leave."

"Let's go, let's go." Aunt Tong couldn't help but urge them. She still liked girls like Linglong. These rough men should leave quickly. She was tired of just looking at her son every day.

Feeling despised, Zheng Tiansen and Xiao Jiang could only walk out of the house, start the car and leave.

After they left, Aunt Tong helped Linglong pack up her things.

Since there were only the two of them in the room, Aunt Tong spoke more casually.

"Linglong, the hard times are over, and good times are still to come. A girl like you is very lucky."

The old man's simple words of comfort almost made Linglong's eyes tear up after she finally calmed down.

Liu Baogen finally arrived at the camp gate and quickly asked the sentry at the gate if he had seen a girl like Linglong coming.

After receiving a positive answer, his mood became cheerful.

Since this girl has entered the camp, he has plenty of opportunities. He doesn't believe that he, Liu Baogen, who is younger, can't compare to Zheng Tiansen and Tong Dazhu!
