The dormitories for ordinary soldiers accommodate at least a dozen people and as many as twenty or thirty people, all with bunk beds.
Because Liu Baogen had become a platoon leader, he lived in a four-person dormitory with better conditions.
The officers who lived with him were all of similar rank.
Their room no longer had bunk beds, but four single beds and a desk.
Even though Liu Baogen was punished, he did not move out of the dormitory.
A young and pretty girl came to the cafeteria to serve food. Everyone who had eaten in the cafeteria knew about it.
Liu Baogen immediately interrupted after he suspected that the person his roommates were discussing was Linglong.
"What does the girl you're talking about look like?"
Seeing his curiosity, someone immediately started describing the length of their hairstyle and their various face shapes.
Isn’t this Miss Linglong? Liu Baogen’s eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, things get brighter in the west than in the east. He was still trying to figure out how to run into Miss Linglong outside Tong Dazhu's house, but he didn't expect that she had already appeared in the cafeteria.
He had three meals a day in the cafeteria, so it was easy for him to see Miss Linglong.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was already past lunchtime, he would have wanted to rush to the cafeteria right away and would have been looking forward to lunch even more.
Nap time is limited, so everyone chatted briefly and then took the time to rest.
Their training tasks are still very difficult at this time.
However, when the snoring of several roommates began, Liu Baogen had no desire to sleep and just hoped that time would pass faster.
Linglong, after helping Sister Niu prepare the meal, was cleaning up when she ran into Zheng Tiansen walking to the window.
"exquisite."
Linglong looked over. "Captain Zheng," she said, a little pleased.
Compared to others, she is naturally more familiar with Zheng Tiansen.
"How's your first day on the job?"
"That's fine, Captain Zheng, don't worry, I can do it."
"If you have any problems, tell your quartermaster. He is not an unreasonable person."
"Um."
As soon as Zheng Tiansen walked away, Sister Niu came over.
"Linglong, do you know Captain Zheng?" Sister Niu asked curiously.
"Oh, I know him. Captain Zheng helped pick me up at the station a while ago, along with my aunt, Captain Tong's mother." Linglong didn't want to talk about her complicated past, so she used this excuse to explain.
"That's what I said."
Sister Niu didn't suspect anything, and Linglong breathed a sigh of relief.
As they were packing up, the quartermaster suddenly came over. "Zhong Linglong, let's go and continue the account."
"Oh, okay." Linglong immediately put down the rag.
As for Sister Niu and the others, after a short rest, they had to prepare for lunch.
When he took Linglong there again this time, the quartermaster looked at her with a different look.
He had just taken food from the kitchen back to his office to eat, and by the way, he looked through the account book and the paper Linglong used to write.
When I saw this, I was surprised.
He only told Linglong to settle the account, but didn't say what it was specifically, but the girl's behavior was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Because the account book was not finished, he thought of calling her back to continue. After the account book was finished, he would look at the final result and then have a good talk with her.
Linglong didn't think much about it. When she was taken back to the office, she immediately sat down and continued to calculate the accounts.
The quartermaster stayed in the office for a while, watching her use the abacus very skillfully, stopping from time to time to make a note. It seemed that she was doing the work by herself without any external help, and then he got up and left.
Linglong had already finished most of the calculations in the morning, and this time she finished the rest of the account book before lunchtime.
After listing all the data on the paper, she stretched and stood up to walk around.
She didn't know where the quartermaster had gone, and without anyone telling her to, she didn't dare to go out.
After thinking about it, he sat back and started checking if there was any mistake in the calculation.
The quartermaster went to the warehouse. After walking around the warehouse, he went to check on the preparations for lunch. It was only when Sister Niu asked him that he remembered that there was someone else in his office.
Liu Baogen felt that the afternoon training time passed very slowly. When he finally waited until the training was over and it was time to eat, he immediately rushed to the cafeteria.
The others saw how anxious he was and started to joke with him, but they also kept walking at a fast pace.
As soon as he entered the cafeteria, Liu Baogen looked for the beautiful figure in his mind at the several windows where people served food.
Unfortunately, he looked at all the windows but couldn't find Linglong. Unwilling to give up, he walked straight to Sister Niu's food window.
When he heard his roommates talking in the dormitory, he knew that Linglong and Sister Niu would get lunch together at noon.
He handed the bowl to Sister Niu, peered inside, and then asked, "Where's Comrade Linglong from last night?"
Sister Niu had an expression that said, "I've seen through your little thoughts a long time ago."
"Just come and eat, don't dwell on trivial matters, young man."
Liu Baogen naturally felt uncomfortable after being squeezed out by Sister Niu, but the people in the queue behind him began to urge him, so he had no choice but to leave with the bowl of rice.
He found a table closest to the food window and sat down. He ate absentmindedly while glancing at the window.
Could it be that Miss Linglong just came to help out at noon?
After arriving at the cafeteria, many people looked for Linglong, especially those who hadn't seen Linglong at noon. They were very curious when they heard everyone mention her.
I didn't see any of this, so I was a little disappointed.
The quartermaster returned to the office and Linglong stood up immediately.
"Steward, I've figured it all out."
"Already calculated? Then let me see."
Linglong handed over the notes she had recorded.
The quartermaster looked her up and down, looking at Linglong seriously.
"Did you calculate all this yourself?"
"Yeah." Linglong was a little nervous.
"Good, very good." The team leader really sent him a talented person.
There were some data here that he had never thought of calculating, but those that he had calculated matched the numbers calculated by Linglong.
Seeing the quartermaster smile, Linglong felt relieved. She must have passed this hurdle.
"Besides settling accounts, what other skills do you have? Forget about cleaning the toilet."
"I, I can cook."
"Cooking." The quartermaster held his chin in thought for a moment.
"Let's go to the kitchen now."
He took Linglong in through the side door. The pots and stoves in the kitchen were empty, and everyone was basically serving food to the soldiers through the window.
Walking to a stove, the quartermaster pointed. "Use whatever you have and make a dish. No requirements, anything is fine."
Is this another test?
Linglong was a little surprised, but soon calmed down.
Just cook and she will do her best.
Looking at the basket of vegetables, she picked out a potato, found a piece of green onion, and took out a few chili peppers from the seasoning section.
There are not many dishes at this time, so she just makes simple stir-fried shredded potatoes.
Although shredded potatoes is a simple home-cooked dish, it is not easy to make delicious and it also tests one's skills.
Seeing Linglong wash the potatoes, peel them skillfully, and then start to shred them, her skillful knife skills and the very fine potato shreds made the quartermaster nod his head.
Linglong put her mind to the work and began to work, and the noise attracted the attention of people who were getting their meals over there.
No one knew why the quartermaster suddenly asked Linglong to cook, so they all watched intently.
Outside, Liu Baogen finished his meal and walked to the food window. He tried to look inside again and saw that everyone in the kitchen was looking in one direction, so he looked over too.
As soon as he saw it, he found the figure he had been looking for for a long time and immediately became excited.
