Although he couldn't figure it out, it didn't stop Liu Baogen from paying more attention to the Tong family.
If he had the chance, he would ask the residents living next to Tong's house, but he just wouldn't believe it and couldn't understand the twists and turns involved.
Knowing that Linglong was living in the Tong family was also good news to him, which meant that he did have the opportunity to contact Linglong again.
After having a big meal at Tong's house and going to his own dormitory, Zheng Tiansen opened the letter from home.
The letter was written by his mother. It talked about some family matters and also asked about his situation.
At the end of the letter, it was still the mother's old talk about urging him to get married, and that she had found a girl with good conditions and wanted to find an opportunity to introduce her to him, and asked him when he would be free to visit her home.
After a moment of thought, he took out the letter paper, unscrewed the pen and began to write.
If his mother hadn't tried every way to introduce him to girls and set him up on blind dates every time he got pregnant, he wouldn't have to hide in the army all the time and not get pregnant for so long.
But this time, there was more content on the letter.
In the past, he would only reply in a routine manner, greeting his family members and writing down his life.
This time, he rarely mentioned some interesting things, for example, when he was helping his comrades to pick up someone, he witnessed a brave and kind-hearted girl saving someone, and the person she saved happened to be the family member they were going to pick up.
Also, this girl is very pitiful. She has finally turned bad luck around and is now settled down and living in the Tong family. The girl also has great cooking skills.
All the content and interesting stories he talked about revolved around Linglong.
Although he didn't mention what he thought of Linglong between the lines, nor did he reveal too much of Linglong's privacy, he had already expressed a lot invisibly.
When Zheng's mother received the letter from her son, she immediately ran to her husband.
"Hurry up and read Tiansen's letter. Could it be that the sun is rising from the west?"
Zheng's father took the letter with doubts, and after reading the back, he was also surprised.
"Is this still our second brother who's quiet and cold-faced and can't say a word for a long time?"
"Who said it wasn't?" Zheng's mother muttered and suddenly sat down happily.
"Hey, tell me, our Tiansen, could it be that he likes that girl?"
"No way, Tiansen would like girls?" Zheng's father raised his eyebrows.
Mother Zheng raised her hand and punched her husband. "How can you say that? Your son is not a child, so he can't like girls."
"Oh, oh, oh, it's all my fault. Well, with Tiansen like that, I think we should just wait and see, and not make things worse."
Zheng's mother was so excited that she wanted to call her son immediately to ask about it, but after being persuaded by her husband, she calmed down.
"Yeah, let's take a look."
Zheng Tiansen didn't know that some of his emotionally exposed letters almost caused an uproar at home.
Let’s talk about Linglong.
After staying at the Tong family for two days, she followed Aunt Tong out for a stroll in the family quarters. Aunt Tong introduced Linglong to many military families, and everyone knew that Linglong had no relatives at home and had come to live with Aunt Tong, a relative of her aunt.
Seeing that Linglong is young, some kind-hearted people have already started asking about Linglong's marriage, which scared Linglong.
She had just escaped from the Liu family's cage and didn't want to fall into another whirlpool right away.
Because of the Liu family, she no longer has much trust in and expectations for marriage.
If possible, she would like to be alone, free and happy.
When Aunt Tong knew Linglong's past and wanted to introduce her to someone new, she tactfully stopped them.
With her elder speaking, Linglong only needed to smile shyly. Even if she didn't find a partner to marry for the time being, it wouldn't be affected too much.
After resting for two days, Linglong felt that she could not be idle any longer, so she took the initiative to report to the quartermaster.
Of course, before doing so, she also told Tong Dazhui and asked him to help pass the message to Zheng Tiansen.
Although Zheng Tiansen told her that she could contact him anytime if she had any problems.
Linglong felt that as a team leader, he must be very busy. Her current problems have been basically solved, and she doesn't want to look for Zheng Tiansen again for some minor matters.
Her knowledge and taste were only rewarded with a sigh of regret from Zheng Tiansen.
Perhaps it was because of her personality that he admired her more.
Liu Baogen, who had always been paying attention to the Tong family and Linglong's movements, finally found out what he wanted to know from the Tong family's neighbors.
Miss Linglong is actually a relative of the Tong family?
So, at that time on the platform, they just didn’t recognize each other?
If he was a relative of the Tong family, then all the abnormal things that happened later would seem to make sense.
Knowing that Linglong would stay for a long time, he felt even happier and just wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Linglong alone.
Linglong went to the quartermaster, and as soon as he saw her, he examined her first.
The kind of scrutiny without bias is more serious.
Well, in the eyes of others, Zheng Tiansen has always been a serious person, and he has never done anything to speak behind other people's backs.
However, this time, a female comrade came with him and specifically told him to take care of this female comrade and said a lot of good things about this female comrade.
This made the quartermaster curious, and when Linglong came, he couldn't help but look at her.
Linglong was so nervous when the quartermaster looked at her that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
The quartermaster finally stopped looking and spoke.
"Since you are here, then do your job. I don't care who introduced you. I just want to make sure you can do the job." At least some warning is required.
Linglong nodded vigorously. "Don't worry, Chief Steward. I'm not afraid of hardship. I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
The quartermaster was quite satisfied with this attitude.
"What can you do?"
"I, I can read, count, cook and clean." Linglong counted.
In fact, Zheng Tiansen had already mentioned all this when he spoke on behalf of Linglong, but the quartermaster just wanted to confirm it himself.
Hearing this, the quartermaster took out an account book and threw it to her.
"Today, you don't have to do anything else. You have to settle the account with me right here in this room. I will settle as much as I can. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
"Then get to work." After saying that, the quartermaster left with his hands behind his back.
This was the quartermaster's office. There was no one else there, so Linglong just sat in the quartermaster's chair and started to count the accounts.
It didn't say what she was supposed to do specifically, so she just let it be.
There was an abacus on the table. Linglong took it, memorized the method, fiddled with it for a while to get familiar with it, and finally started to calculate.
The quartermaster, who was not far away, listened to the sound of abacus coming from the room and sat with his hands behind his back in satisfaction.
Not bad, not dull, knows how to work.
Although it is still unclear why the regiment commander Zheng Tiansen made an exception and spoke for Linglong, it did not prevent the quartermaster from having a good first impression of Linglong.
