"Ying Mingcheng, male, 25 years old, was promoted to deputy battalion commander at the beginning of this year. His salary is 92.8 yuan, and his military service allowance is 32.5 yuan. Apart from the fixed expenses of 25 yuan each month, all of this can be given to you."
Mu Huaixi held Ying Mingcheng's wallet in astonishment, and was somewhat at a loss after listening to his sudden self-introduction.
"Aren't we getting married?" Ying Mingcheng chuckled, then took out a stack of bills from his inner pocket and stuffed them into her hand. "My passbook is in the dormitory. I'll ask someone to give it to you when you get to the camp. The password is my birthday. You know my birthday, right?"
"Yeah," Mu Huaixi just nodded, and saw the man in front of her laughing foolishly. She felt a little helpless. Even if she didn't know it before, it was written on the marriage certificate!
"But," Mu Huaixi flipped through the stack of bills, "you've already given me quite a few before. Did you change these?"
Even though Ying Mingcheng was at the deputy battalion level, he didn't get many bills every year, especially a few national bills, which were not something that ordinary people could get.
"These are all given by grandpa," Ying Mingcheng took out several national tickets, "Let's go, it's just right for us to go to the department store to buy some things. Jiangcheng still has a wide range of things."
These tickets are more than enough to buy the national tickets for three turns and one ring. They were indeed prepared by Mr. Ying. What Ying Mingcheng didn't say is that some of them are for the Mu family. If Mu Huaixi is willing, the national tickets for three turns and one ring can be left in Zhangjiagou and bought in Shengjing later.
But the eldest uncle of the Mu family was not good to Mu Huaixi, and Mu Lao San was obviously unable to keep these things, so he did not mention this matter, but just stuffed ten more Big Unity notes into the medicine cabinet where Mu Huaixi hid the money for his uncle.
When Ying Mingcheng thought of the suffering Mu Huaixi endured in Zhangjiagou, he felt that the little girl was very aggrieved. He looked up at the clear sky and suddenly had an idea, "Why don't you go buy these three turns and one ring with Xiao Gao tomorrow? I'll take you to the park."
"Visiting the park?" Mu Huaixi was calculating how much she could buy with these tickets, but she didn't expect Ying Mingcheng to suddenly mention the park.
"Yeah, I see other people go to the park for blind dates and dating. We've already got our marriage certificate, so I can't even not take you to the park," Ying Mingcheng said with a big wave of his hand. "Let's go to the park and go boating!"
Mu Huaixi actually didn’t quite understand why people would go to the park to row a boat in the middle of winter, but when she got there, she found that there were quite a lot of people!
The main gate of Jiangcheng Park is quite impressive, its towering stone gatehouse adorned with festive florals and gilded characters. People were coming and going, mostly families and couples, and a group of students in their sports uniforms ran in.
"It's not the weekend, why are there so many people?" Mu Huaixi wondered.
Ying Mingcheng had just returned from buying tickets and replied with a smile, "There's a panda in the zoo today, and everyone's here to see it."
“Panda?!” Mu Huaixi’s eyes lit up. He looked in the direction Ying Mingcheng pointed, and sure enough, on the right side of the gate, he saw a giant panda made of grass and flowers, with a poster on its head that read, “Welcome giant panda Huanhuan to Jiangcheng.
The Grass Flower Giant Panda was also very popular, with many people gathered around it. It was no wonder that she didn't notice it at first. Mu Huaixi liked pandas very much and thought they were lazy and happy.
Ying Mingcheng saw that she was very interested and couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had just bought a ticket to the zoo. In order to allow Mu Huaixi to see the pandas earlier, he also showed his military officer ID and led people in through a special passage.
However, he rarely did things that showed off his "privilege". When he passed by people queuing, he just walked forward with his head down. After entering, he ripped open his collar and looked like he was out of breath.
Mu Huaixi pursed her lips and looked at the man with red ears. She felt inexplicably sweet in her heart and took the initiative to step forward and pull his sleeve. "Let's go. We still have to queue at the entrance of the panda house!"
It is called a panda house, but it is actually just a large open space. The few trees in the space are bare, and only a few bamboo clumps on the edge are still green. In the middle of the open space stands a wooden frame, on which a chubby panda is lying and sleeping soundly.
"panda!"
“It’s Huanhuan!!”
“HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!”
No matter how the adults and children around her shouted, Huanhuan, lying on the wooden frame, just buried her head in sleep, not even changing her position. Although the sleeping black and white ball was cute, it was not very attractive to people. The people around her changed one after another, but Mu Huaixi always stood outside the railing, smiling at the sleeping giant panda, while Ying Mingcheng stood beside her and watched her.
Suddenly, the black and white ball's thick ears trembled, and it suddenly raised its head and looked towards the direction of the field. The crowd immediately cheered, "Huanhuan, Huanhuan, is it time to get up?"
"Cheer up!"
"Huanhuan runs so fast!"
The people who had just left squeezed back in. Mu Huaixi felt a strong force on her back and was almost pushed onto the railing. Fortunately, she had been holding on to the pole, and Ying Mingcheng next to her also hugged her in time, which allowed her to stand firm.
But the people next to them were not so lucky. The people behind them squeezed forward desperately, wanting to catch a glimpse of the giant panda in motion. The crowd surged forward like waves, squeezing the people in front so that they could not stand. For a while, wailing and shouting were heard everywhere. I don’t know which child was stepped on and burst into tears.
Mu Huaixi had participated in emergency response to a stampede in her previous life. Seeing this was going badly, she looked out anxiously. She even thought she heard the creaking of the iron railings behind her. Fortunately, the zoo staff acted quickly, using a loud speaker to shout and disperse the crowd. The situation finally eased after a while.
"Don't stop, look around as you go, and give the comrades behind you a chance to see Huanhuan!"
In order to prevent the congestion from happening again, the staff climbed on the railings and shouted loudly with a loudspeaker. Although Mu Huaixi felt regretful, she cooperated and followed Ying Mingcheng out. At this moment, someone suddenly screamed. She turned her head and saw the panda happily running out from the inner field, climbing up the wooden frame as fast as the wind, taking advantage of the momentum to pounce forward, rolling over, and sitting on the tire placed at the entrance of the wooden slide.
"Hmm~~Hmm~~" He raised his head and called out twice amid the cheers of everyone, then he leaped forward again and slid down.
"Wow!!!"
Everyone's exclamations made the panda Huanhuan even more excited. He came down from the slide and grabbed the plastic ball next to him. He clapped his huge paws left and right, like a football star running on the field, chasing the colorful ball all over the field.
Chasing balls, swinging, playing in the water, climbing trees, the panda Huanhuan had fun in the field in various ways, bringing endless laughter to people.
Mu Huaixi still felt unbelievable when she walked out of the venue. She glanced at the man who always protected her and thought that today was a really good day.
