The next day was the day to receive the commendation.
Ying Mingcheng returned to the Qilu Military Region base, and they would set off together tomorrow morning. Mu Huaixi could set off from home and then meet up with the logistics troops when they arrived at the destination.
She changed into her military uniform early in the morning, put on a full set of medals, and set off in a heroic manner.
Ying's father even arranged his own car for her, but Mu Huaixi thought it was too high-profile and would rather set off early and walk there.
The roll call for the meeting was at 8:40, but Mu Huaixi arrived at the entrance of the meeting hall at 8:15. The huge square was already filled with many people.
The flag of logistics and medical care stands out among the flags of various military regions. Mu Huaixi quickly found the organization and was pleasantly surprised to see his comrades.
"Doctor Ma, Xiaotao, why are you here too?" Mu Huaixi didn't expect to meet so many people here, especially the "Monkey King".
He is no longer a wild child in tattered clothes, but a handsome young man wearing national costume and new rubber shoes.
"He is living with the Kang Wa family now. Dr. Kang is ill, so he asked us to bring him to Beijing to see the world," the accompanying military doctor explained to Mu Huaixi.
"Is Dr. Kang sick? What happened to him?" Mu Huaixi was a little worried. Kang Wa was in his thirties, not considered old, but he was already considered an uncle in the local area.
The little boy who grew up with a white tiger and a monkey now has a new name, Connor, which is said to mean star.
He walks in the mountains all year round, collecting herbs and saving people like Mu Huaixi's grandfather, and suffers from many injuries like Grandpa Mu.
After Mu Huaixi came back, she still missed him very much and sent food and cloth there during the holidays. However, Dr. Kangwa could not write Chinese, and the two had never communicated, so she didn't know that Connor was following Kangwa.
"Pre-pressed duck, delicious." Connor still speaks haltingly, but it is better than before. He was sent to the school in town by Dr. Kang, but he ran back on his own after a few days. He had no choice but to learn to speak by relying on a small radio.
But Connor was very popular in the village, which worshipped wild animals and firmly believed that the white tiger was a mountain god. Hearing that he was the white tiger's son, they often sent dried meat and offal to their home.
The villagers all believe that this is an offering to the White Tiger, hoping that they can use such a small trick to please the mountain god and bless them with safety.
Mu Huaixi saw that Connor was in better condition than when he was wandering in the mountains. He had grown taller, his face had become rounder, and even his hair was shinier than before.
"I brushed my teeth." He even showed his teeth deliberately and told Mu Huaixi seriously that he had cleaned his teeth carefully according to her instructions.
Mu Huaixi felt warm in her heart. She didn't expect that he took her words so seriously. That was when they were traveling together.
After all, Connor grew up with wild animals, liked to eat meat and had no habit of cleaning his teeth. There were black marks between his teeth and his gums were swollen and painful.
At that time, Mu Huaixi taught him to chew herbs that could clear away heat and reduce internal heat, and also taught him to use tree branches to brush his teeth and clean the gaps between his teeth. In order to prevent him from being disobedient, she even threatened him that if he didn't brush his teeth properly, he might not be able to bite meat in the future.
"So good," Mu Huaixi smiled and touched his head. She also found that the boy had grown taller and was obviously living very comfortably in Dr. Kang's house.
"Come home with me in the evening and meet your brother and sister." Mu Huaixi liked Connor very much and invited him to her home. She also wanted to take the little brother to buy some clothes and daily necessities, and then take him out for a big meal.
Amidst chatting and laughing, the large group entered the auditorium.
It was Mu Huaixi’s first time coming in, and she was immediately attracted by the simple and grand decoration. She followed the footsteps of the person in front of her, but her eyes wandered around and she couldn’t stop at all!
This auditorium can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Its stepped design allows every seat to clearly see the rostrum at the front - where military flags are flying, and flags of all military regions stand tall, guarding the national emblem and military insignia in the center. Just seeing it from afar makes one's heart surge with excitement and unable to control themselves.
Many people around Mu Huaixi were already wiping away tears. She could understand this emotion, which was a pure feeling of being moved and pilgrimaged.
This is the capital, the place closest to the great man, and the holy land of everyone's dreams.
Even as she sat here, she had a slight suspicion that she was dreaming.
Who would have thought that just by trying her best to be a good doctor, she could go to places she never dared to imagine in her previous life?
"Xi, why are they all crying?" Connor was just too excited, and only now he realized that everyone around him had red eyes. The doctor who brought him to the capital was sobbing, and the handkerchief in his hand was soaked.
Mu Huaixi also had tears in her eyes. She wiped them away calmly, turned around and rubbed the boy's head with a smile, "Everyone is just too happy."
"Happy..." Connor seemed to be lost in thought. With his personality, it was difficult for him to understand why people did not laugh out loud when they were extremely happy, but instead cried with joy.
If you can't figure it out, just forget about it. Connor shook his head and said to her, "I'm happy. It's so beautiful here."
"Yes, it's really beautiful here," Mu Huaixi looked up at the dome where "the water and the sky are one color". There were circles of lights shining like stars, and in the middle was a large sunflower surrounded by sixty large gilded petals, with a brilliant red star lamp inlaid in the core of the flower.
The lights are all on, casting a bright yet gentle glow that touches people's hearts and is particularly spectacular.
"Comrades, the commendation meeting is about to begin. Please take your seats as soon as possible."
The prompt sounded along with the military song. The military district representatives who were still in the aisles and at the door quickened their pace. Soon the auditorium was full of people. Those who had just been crying wiped away their tears. The auditorium returned to silence, with only the military song floating in the air.
