In fact, the army had held similar blind date activities before, but Zheng Tiansen always refused to participate.
But this time, he was a little tempted, but the prerequisite was that Linglong also went, otherwise he would definitely not go.
Zheng Tiansen agreed to Political Commissar Hao's proposal.
Hiding their thoughts, the two discussed the details in a serious manner.
But after they finished discussing the matter, Political Commissar Hao started teasing him.
"Tiansen, you're not young anymore. The organization is very concerned about your personal issues. Do you want to attend this tea party?"
"I'll see." Zheng Tiansen did not agree explicitly, but he did not refuse either.
Even the fact that he didn't refuse outright cheered up Political Commissar Hao. "Okay, I'll wait for your news."
After the two of them had agreed on this, the news was released.
Not only are single men and women excited, but those who are worried about their families' lifelong marriages are also looking forward to it, and there are also many spectators who are waiting to see what happens.
The tea party was so popular that it overshadowed the performances at the welcome party.
Sister Niu is now concerned about the various welcome activities every day and shares them with Linglong as soon as possible.
"Linglong, it's just a tea party. You're single, so why don't you go and join in the fun?"
Linglong forced a smile. "Sister Niu, I won't go this time." She had no intention of going at all. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to go? If there was any trouble, it would be bad.
The main reason is that she feels that her identity is a bit sensitive and she doesn't want to attract attention.
Just as everyone was eagerly looking forward to a series of welcoming activities, the first heavy snow of winter fell.
Because of the snow, the letters and parcels sent to the troops were delayed.
Linglong had no interest in the blind date tea party and felt that it had nothing to do with her.
After receiving her salary and coupons again, she bought some ingredients and started cooking.
Things with a lot of soup or water are difficult to mail, so she can only consider making something that is easier to transport.
Rice sauce with meat pieces, pickled vegetables, and special dried sweet potatoes.
They don't look like expensive things, but they taste very good.
At least Aunt Tong and Tong Dazhu, who have tasted it, praised it highly.
Linglong did all this on purpose mainly to thank Zheng Tiansen's mother.
In addition to the portion that was mailed, she left some for home and secretly gave some to Sister Niu.
Apart from Sister Niu, the one is for Zheng Tiansen.
She was too embarrassed to go to Zheng Tiansen alone to hand over the things, so she asked Tong Dazhu to pass it on.
He also said that Zheng Tiansen could keep some for himself or give some to Xiao Jiang.
Seeing Tong Dazhu constantly praising how delicious these things were, Zheng Tiansen directly kept half of them. Of the remaining ones, he only took out three pieces and gave them to Xiao Jiang.
Alas, he couldn’t bear to eat more of what Linglong made herself, so he was very generous to give it to Xiaojiang.
When the snow finally stopped, the mail truck delivered the letters and parcels from the army, and those who wanted to send something were notified to go over quickly.
When Zheng Tiansen was taking the packed things to mail, he saw Liu Baogen coming to get the letter.
He certainly wouldn't take the initiative to greet Liu Baogen, but Liu Baogen looked at him and politely called him "Captain".
Even though he hated Zheng Tiansen in his heart, Liu Baogen still did a good job of pretending.
Zheng Tiansen just nodded with a cold face and didn't say anything more to him.
After cursing a few words in his heart and looking at the words on the envelope, Liu Baogen was anxious to read the letter before leaving.
He was about to open the letter in his dormitory when it was taken away. He had no choice but to put the letter under his pillow.
In the cafeteria kitchen, the quartermaster walked in with his hands behind his back.
He clapped his hands and everyone looked over.
"I have an announcement to make. Our division is organizing a tea party. I think everyone has heard about it. The tea party is open to everyone who meets the requirements. I've signed you up. Don't resist. This is also a political task. Whether it's on time or not, pack up and go and have some fun. Don't embarrass our logistics and cafeteria. At least there's free tea and sunflower seeds there, right?"
When the quartermaster made this joke, everyone started laughing.
After the quartermaster finished speaking and asked everyone to get back to work, Linglong came over and asked quietly, "Quartermaster, should I go too?"
"Well, if you meet the requirements, why don't you go? Aren't you single?"
"yes."
"That's fine, don't feel any psychological burden. We're not forcing you to pair up, so it's nice to get to know a few more friends."
The quartermaster had said so, what else could Linglong say? Just treat it as a medic.
Never mind, just consider it as a task completed and deal with it as a matter of fact. She will definitely keep a low profile and not show up during this time.
Knowing that she was going to attend a tea party for the purpose of blind dating, Sister Niu was even more excited than she, the bride. She immediately gave her advice and asked her to make various preparations, which made Linglong laugh and cry.
When she got home from get off work and casually mentioned this, Aunt Tong and Tong Dazhu also became excited, and Linglong felt even more helpless.
Why do all the people around her hope that she can find a partner?
This forced Linglong, who had originally not taken it seriously and wanted to just do it casually, to carefully match her clothes for that day.
No, I can't get over this hurdle at home.
In fact, Aunt Tong's idea was very simple. She didn't want Linglong to find a perfect husband at the blind date tea party, but she just thought that no matter what, Linglong should not be looked down upon.
If we can't find the right one, it's because we have high standards and lack fate, but the person is still very outstanding and has good conditions.
It saves you from some people talking behind your back.
Aunt Tong knows too well the power of public opinion and rumors.
Since Linglong was going to participate, how could Zheng Tiansen not participate? With Tong Dazhu as a secret informant, Zheng Tiansen immediately found Political Commissar Hao and said that he would go too.
Political Commissar Hao immediately put his name first on the list.
The iron tree has finally sprouted, and as the political commissar, I have to be more capable. No matter what, I have to inform the person in charge of this tea party at the division headquarters and arrange a prominent and good position for Zheng Tiansen.
As soon as the list of names was submitted, the tea party was about to begin, and it was very busy.
Linglong was forced to prepare clothes, and Zheng Tiansen knew that Linglong would go there too, so he took it seriously.
In fact, on that day, officers like Zheng Tiansen would definitely go in military uniform, and there would be no need to prepare any clothes.
Even so, he found his latest set of clothes and ironed it carefully. He also prepared new hats and belts, making sure to appear at the tea party in the best spirits.
Liu Baogen finally lay down in the dormitory at night. After he closed his eyes, he suddenly remembered the letter under his pillow and quickly pulled it out.
The bell had already sounded and the lights had been turned off in the dormitory. He was anxious to read the letter, so he could only cover his head with the quilt and turn on the flashlight to read it.
