Tong Dazhu will stay in the camp all day today and will not go home at night.
It just so happened that he also wanted to go to the cafeteria to have a meal.
Ever since Linglong went to work in the cafeteria, he hasn't eaten there yet.
According to the comments from the regiment commander and some comrades, the dishes available in the cafeteria are pretty good.
He was going to the cafeteria, so he called Zheng Tiansen to join him.
Seeing the two of them having dinner together, Linglong smiled more.
When Linglong came today, she was wearing a military coat. Although she took off the coat and put it away when she was busy, she was still wearing the old cotton coat underneath, but it still made Sister Yuan look unhappy.
She also has a military coat, which was her husband's old one. The one Linglong is wearing is obviously a little tighter on her body.
Considering the body shapes of Tong Dazhu and Zheng Tiansen, these clothes don't look like hand-me-downs they have worn. Zhong Linglong is really thoughtful. She doesn't even have a military coat that fits her, but she got one first.
Tong Dazhu and Zheng Tiansen were happily eating in the cafeteria. Liu Baogen, who brought some gifts, also went to Tong's house.
Since her son doesn’t come to eat at noon, Aunt Tong’s lunch becomes even simpler.
She heated up the leftover porridge from the morning, steamed a bun, took out some pickles, and made do with the meal.
When she heard some noise outside, she became curious.
Didn’t Dazhu say he wouldn’t come today? Did he forget something and come here to get it?
She was confused and didn't get up when someone knocked on the door.
The courtyard gate was not closed, so Liu Baogen walked in directly, but he did not dare to push the closed door.
"Who is it?" Aunt Tong frowned.
The one who knocks on the door cannot be a stupid son.
"Auntie, I'm Captain Tong's subordinate."
Subordinates? Why would they come to my house instead of looking for Dazhu?
She walked over and opened the door.
As soon as he saw her, Liu Baogen became enthusiastic.
"Auntie, you may not remember me. The battalion commander and the regiment commander went to pick you up that day, and I went too. It's just that I was a little anxious and left early, so I didn't go with you."
Aunt Tong didn't know who he was, but after listening to the introduction, she became a little more polite to him.
"Come in and sit down. Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten, I've eaten. Auntie, don't worry about me."
Looking at the simple food on the table, Liu Baogen quickly put down the things in his hands.
"Auntie, there are some snacks here. You can try them."
"Dazhu is on duty at the camp. You can go find him there." She thought Liu Baogen didn't know.
As for snacks, although the old woman was simple, she was not a short-sighted person.
"Auntie, I know. I just came to see you. You fainted at that time, and I've been thinking about you ever since. I happened to be free today, so I came to see you."
Although Liu Baogen had a smile on his face, Aunt Tong always felt that it was a little fake.
Are all Dazhu's subordinates so enthusiastic?
But she still managed to put on a smile. "Thank you, but you don't need the snacks. It's not easy in the army, so you can help yourself."
"Auntie, you're being so formal. I brought this especially for you."
Aunt Tong couldn't refuse anymore, so she stood up and poured him a bowl of water.
Liu Baogen was able to thrive in the army before, and he was popular with everyone. He was also very good at talking, and soon he was having a good chat with Aunt Tong.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, he got down to business.
"Auntie, did you meet anyone else when you came here?"
"Someone else? Linglong."
"Besides Linglong, what about her? Have you never met any other girls?" Of course he knew Linglong. Wasn't that the time when he met Linglong?
His question made Aunt Tong suspicious. "By the way, young man, what's your name?"
Liu Baogen was afraid that if he said his name, it would offend Aunt Tong, so he kept it vague.
"Auntie, I'm just a soldier under Captain Tong. You don't need to remember my name."
The less he said, the more strange Aunt Tong felt.
"I have nothing more to say to you. Go away. I still need to eat." As a military dependent, her son still told her some of the precautions she needed to be aware of.
This man looked like he was wearing a military uniform and didn't even dare to say his name. Who knew if there was anything wrong with him?
Seeing that the questioning would not continue if he did not say this, Liu Baogen said helplessly: "Auntie, my name is Liu Baogen, please don't misunderstand me."
When she heard his name, Aunt Tong showed a look of disgust. "You must be Liu Baogen, hurry up and leave."
"Auntie, maybe you heard something from Captain Tong or someone else. It's not like that. I do have a child bride. But first of all, my family saved her, and I'm indebted to her. The story of the child bride is a long one. Please tell me if you've met her. I have a lot to say to her."
"So what if I've seen her? What does it have to do with you? You beast, get out of my house right now."
"Auntie, where is she?" Liu Baogen asked anxiously.
Seeing that he was not leaving, Aunt Tong looked around, picked up the broom behind the door and started to beat it.
"You think I, an old woman, dare not deal with you alone?"
Being hit by the broom, Liu Baogen retreated in embarrassment.
Aunt Tong chased him out of the courtyard, spat on the ground, put her hands on her hips and said, "Stay away from my house from now on. If you dare to come here again, I will use a big stick."
Seeing that some people were looking around, Liu Baogen hurried away.
Of course, he also cursed Aunt Tong a lot, calling her a crazy woman, unreasonable, and old-fashioned.
Although he still didn't know where the child bride came from, he confirmed one thing: the old woman had really seen her own child bride.
What a pity. It would be better if this old woman would go crazy later and let me find out where the person is.
Because of him, Aunt Tong was also very angry.
She just wanted to know that her son was on duty today and she couldn't nag him. When Linglong came over against the cold wind, she quickly told her son.
"Liu Baogen came to our house today."
"He recognized me?" Linglong was surprised.
"It doesn't sound like he's here to ask me about your whereabouts."
It hasn’t been exposed yet, that’s good, Linglong breathed a sigh of relief again.
"Auntie, I hope he didn't do anything to you." She said worriedly after she was relieved. Although she was told to call her auntie, Linglong still liked to call her auntie when no one was around.
"No, he could do nothing to me. I chased him away with a broom."
Linglong burst out laughing. "Auntie, you're still amazing."
"Of course. When I was in the village, I worked just as hard as the men and could earn full work points."
Linglong's eyes suddenly became starry. It was a perfect job. Some thin men were not good enough.
"By the way, Linglong, he's asking about you now. He's not planning to do anything bad again, is he?" Aunt Tong seemed to be getting worried.
When talking about Liu Baogen, Linglong's expression became solemn.
"Auntie, this is a foreign army. We shouldn't be afraid of them. I'm in the kitchen now, and I have the support of the quartermaster. He likes me very much, and there's also Sister Niu. Oh, and if all else fails, there's still my brother and Brother Zheng."
"That's true." His son is the battalion commander, and Zheng Tiansen, who has feelings for Linglong, is even more powerful and is the regiment commander.
"He definitely wouldn't dare to do anything in public. I'm afraid he might do something sneaky. You'd better be on your guard."
"I see, Auntie, you are so kind to me."
"Of course, Auntie treats you like her own daughter."
The two chatted and laughed, having already forgotten the troubles brought by Liu Baogen.
However, Aunt Tong still remembered it and decided to complain to her son when he came back.
