Linglong had just finished work and walked out of the cafeteria when she saw Hao Chunlei and Li Jie.
"Hey, what are you two doing here?"
Hao Chunlei and Li Jie looked at each other and said, "Linglong, Li Jie and I are leaving soon."
"What?" Linglong was shocked.
"There was a conscription a few days ago. Li Jie and I both signed up. We've passed the examination and physical exam, so we'll be leaving in a few days."
"Ah, so soon, I didn't even hear you mention it."
Li Jie said embarrassedly, "Before the results came out, we didn't know if we could be selected, so we didn't tell you."
Although a little surprised, Linglong was quick to offer her congratulations. "Great! You guys finally got what you wanted. Is this the labor group?"
Li Jie nodded, but Hao Chunlei shook her head.
"Chunlei, where have you been?"
"Besides the labor corps, there are other places that need female soldiers. I'm going to the north."
Seeing Hao Chunlei's expression was okay, Linglong continued, "As long as you work hard, you will be contributing to the motherland wherever you go."
"Yes, I think so too." Hao Chunlei smiled.
"How long will it take?"
"Li Jie and I are not going to the same place. I heard that it will take about three more days for me."
"Actually, I'm pretty much the same." Li Jie agreed.
"Then tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I'll make something delicious for you two to practice."
"Okay, okay, I like your cooking skills the most." Li Jie was very happy.
Hao Chunlei was also happy.
Knowing that the two of them would be leaving soon, Linglong also became reluctant to let them go.
The three of them returned to Tong's house together. Hao Chunlei and Li Jie also wanted to see Congcong again.
After all, once they leave, we don’t know when they will come back next time.
Veterans have family leave every year, but new recruits who have just joined the camp have no chance to go home in the first few years.
Hao Chunlei and Li Jie came to the Tong family more often, and Aunt Tong had developed some feelings for them. She felt a little sad when she knew that they were going to join the army.
"Ah, you two girls are from a family, why do you have to endure this hardship?"
"Auntie, women can hold up half the sky. We just want to do something meaningful."
"That's right."
"I just don't understand you young people nowadays."
Tong Dazhu knew that the two of them wanted to join the army, and he supported it.
"The troops, please do your best and don't lose our men. You are the ones who are leaving us."
"Brother Tong, just wait for good news from us."
"Look at me coming back with merit."
A few of them talked and laughed, which diluted the sadness of parting a lot.
As his daughter was about to leave, Hao Qiwei was also very sad and pulled Zheng Tiansen to have a drink and talk.
"I still remember Chunlei's appearance when she was just a little baby. In the blink of an eye, the girl is about to take over my job."
"Member, Chunlei has ambitions, you should be happy."
"Alas, they say a mother worries when her son goes far away. My daughter is going on a long journey, and as a parent, I am really worried."
"Commissioner, Chunlei is going to the army. I know someone there. I'll tell him when the time comes and ask him to look after Chunlei."
"Ah, that's great, thank you Tiansen."
"Committee member, can we still be polite?"
"I won't say anything more. I'll toast you a glass."
Knowing that the new recruits couldn't bring much with them, Linglong gave up the idea of making delicious food for them, but she quickly copied out two knowledge books.
Because she was so pressed for time, she really neglected sleep and food.
Here are the most famous Chinese words and ancient poems from junior high and high school Chinese textbooks, as well as common mathematical formulas and theorems, and some equations from physics and chemistry, etc.
It's not that she doesn't want to copy more, it's just that she doesn't have enough time.
When the day of practice with Hao Chunlei and Li Jie came, Linglong took out the two knowledge books she had carefully prepared.
"Chunlei, Li Jie, these are some things I've taken the time to summarize. I hope you won't give up studying even after you join the army. Take a look at them when you get a chance."
Hao Chunlei and Li Jie both took the notebook and flipped through it, and immediately understood how much effort Linglong had put in.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take a look."
"I can do that, too."
Linglong smiled.
She remembered that both Hao Chunlei and Li Jie had said that if they had the opportunity to take the college entrance examination and go to university, they would definitely be willing to do so.
She didn't know how much her little notebook could help the two of them, but any help she could provide was appreciated.
The college entrance examination is a single-plank bridge. In the first year after its resumption, tens of thousands of people participated in the competition.
If they learn more, they will have a better chance than others.
Like her, she had a weak foundation, so she started learning early and never dared to relax.
She didn't know whether she would have the chance to take the college entrance examination now that it had been resumed.
But she knew that even if she had the chance, she had to prepare first.
Otherwise, when the opportunity comes, if her chances of passing are slim due to her lack of ability, she will regret it.
Also at the dinner table were Tong Dazhu, Zheng Tiansen, and Hao Qiwei.
Hao Qiwei took the notebook from his daughter's hand and took a look at it. He was also grateful to Linglong from the bottom of his heart.
It’s no wonder that my daughter can be good friends with Linglong. Someone like Linglong is totally worthy of it.
Half of the dishes on the table were thanks to the prey Zheng Tiansen had brought down from the mountain before. Otherwise, Linglong would not have been able to get so many good things because of her current financial situation.
It was only then that Hao Weiwei realized that Zheng Tiansen had not forgotten to save delicious food for Linglong when he went up the mountain, and he teased Zheng Tiansen several times.
Zheng Tiansen had become thick-skinned now and was not moved at all.
Hao Chunlei and Li Jie were also whispering in Linglong's ear.
"Linglong, we definitely won't be able to attend your wedding with Captain Zheng. It's such a pity."
"Who said it wasn't? I originally wanted to be your bridesmaid."
Although Linglong felt embarrassed, she still said, "Don't worry, if I get married, I will definitely save some wedding candy for you."
Congcong was too young, still sitting on Linglong's lap. When he heard Linglong's words, he immediately clapped his hands. "Wedding candy, eat wedding candy."
He had eaten candy before. It was so sweet and delicious. He wanted to eat more.
"What wedding candy?" Hao Qiwei looked over curiously.
Hao Chunlei giggled and said, "Linglong said that if we couldn't make it to her wedding, she would save up some wedding candy for us."
"Hahaha, that's what I told you, Tiansen. Seeing that Linglong has expressed her stance, you have to work harder too." He patted Zheng Tiansen's shoulder.
Is this wedding candy for the two of them? Zheng Tiansen looked at Linglong with such fiery eyes.
Linglong didn't want Congcong to say her words out loud, which would lead to Hao Weiwei questioning her, and her face was already red to her ears.
From now on, she would never talk nonsense in front of Congcong again. This kid had really screwed her over.
Congcong didn't know it yet and was still shouting for candy.
Fortunately, Zheng Tiansen came over to play with him from time to time. He always had candies in his pocket, and he would immediately take one out and peel it for him.
Congcong ate the sweet candy and smiled like Xiao'er.
The more Zheng Tiansen looks at Congcong, the more he likes him.
If he agreed to raise Congcong because of Linglong in the beginning, now he also likes Congcong and is willing to raise him.
It can be seen that they really have some fate.
The atmosphere in the room was so lively and festive because of Congcong. The sadness of the practice had disappeared, and only the beautiful hope for the future and the expectation of meeting again were left.
