"Set off!"
At a command from Political Commissar Li, the officers carrying their wives rushed out like arrows.
Mu Huaixi only heard a short cry beside her and a bumpy scene in front of her eyes. Before she could react, she had already reached the turning point.
"Xiao Xi, don't hold on too tightly..."
Ying Mingcheng was the first to reach the turning point. He had enough space to maneuver, so he didn't stop or slow down. He just took her with him and ran back.
"What?" Mu Huaixi listened to his almost suffocated voice, and slowly realized that her arms were tightly wrapped around his neck, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
She blushed and let go, but was startled by the sudden feeling of centrifugation, and Ying Mingcheng's speed also slowed down. She hurriedly followed the example of others and held his shoulders tightly.
"Come on~~"
“Charge!!”
"Bump, bump, bump!"
Mu Huaixi listened to the cries of regret from the people around him, turned around and saw several couples rushing to brake and turn back, colliding with each other, laughing and pulling each other.
“Come on, come on!!”
Amid the encouragement and support from the people around them, the newlyweds who had tumbled into a pile helped each other up again. Before they could pack up and set off, Ying Mingcheng arrived at the turning point here again.
The commander of the third company of the fourth battalion looked at his high-spirited deputy battalion commander, then looked at himself who was already a round behind. He suddenly rushed towards Ying Mingcheng with his wife on his back, shouting as he rushed, "Brothers! Stop the first one, we still have hope!"
“Charge!”
Carrying the wife back and forth for a total of ten times, the original purpose is to test the explosive power of carrying weight. People like the third company commander who have fallen behind after one round are basically hopeless.
But he always had a quick mind. As long as he left all the people in front of him, everyone would be in a hurry. Wouldn't that give him another chance? More importantly, the first place was their battalion commander. Even if he was really pulled down, he wouldn't be angry with him!
"Bad boy," Ying Mingcheng cursed with a smile, helped the person on his back up, turned around and reminded her to hold on tight, then accelerated again to avoid the collision of the third company commander. He had turned back in front of the pillar before, but this time he took advantage of the chaos to hide behind the pillar, and waited until there was a mess in front of the pillar before he continued to run quietly.
However, this back and forth running has become a battle to drag people into the water. Those who have no hope are like swooping eagles, guarding on both sides to catch people, while the remaining pairs of newcomers who are still running are dodging the attacks like chickens.
“Ah~~~”
Mu Huaixi became excited at some point. She lowered her body and followed Ying Mingcheng's movements to dodge and avoid, fearing that she would be knocked down. When the two of them finally completed ten rounds, she immediately jumped down, laughing and pulling him towards Political Commissar Li. She couldn't contain her joy when she got the bag of fried peanuts, and she dragged him around twice.
Ying Mingcheng couldn't help but smile when he saw her long-lost smile. In fact, Xiaoxi's eyebrows and eyes were very beautiful. As long as she smiled, all the coldness around her would melt away. However, there were too few things that could make her smile like this on a normal day.
"Are you so happy? If I had known earlier, I would have asked you to participate in the game just now." Ying Mingcheng came over and suddenly felt a little regretful that he had given up his seat to those people just now.
Mu Huaixi smiled and shook his head, shaking the bag of peanuts in his hand, "That's enough."
After the fun game, everyone cleaned up a bit and saw Sister Yu approaching Political Commissar Li. "Hello everyone, welcome all the military wives, aunts, and children to the barracks. The conditions in the mountains are not good, thank you for your hard work!"
"The old year has passed, and I would like to thank every comrade who has contributed to the family compound. It is your selfless dedication that makes the family compound better and better."
"Watching our family compound grow from nothing, I'm filled with pride. What makes me even prouder is that we military wives are powerful and can handle both family and work affairs with flying colors!"
"Comrades Shen Ying, Ge Shanyue, and Li Sanyan, as building managers, actively coordinated the work of each household, reduced friction and conflicts, put in a lot of effort, and achieved remarkable results!"
"After the new year, our family compound will officially establish a women's group. We plan to include the three comrades mentioned above, and we look forward to having more comrades join us!"
"I also want to give special praise to Doctor Mu Huaixi. As a new military wife, she started working at the health center before she even settled into her home in the mountains. She saved two pregnant women at the market and treated countless patients. The thank-you letters from the Maidiping and Furongqiao Communes are posted on the bulletin board. I'm sure everyone has seen them. This is the power of us military wives!"
Loud applause broke out in the cafeteria. Mu Huaixi lowered her head a little embarrassedly. She was doing what was part of a doctor's job. She didn't expect anyone to write her a thank-you letter, and she didn't expect Sister Yu to praise her at this time.
"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa", Ying Mingcheng's hands turned red from clapping. Afraid that Mu Huaixi couldn't hear him, he raised them in front of her to clap. He looked at Xiaoxi who lowered her head, his heart full of pride. She had only been in the mountains for a short time and had done so much work!
Mu Huaixi pulled his hand down in embarrassment, but was held back. Ying Mingcheng grabbed her palm with both hands and rubbed it, calling it a massage for the hard-working Dr. Mu.
"There are so many people here!" Mu Huaixi lowered his voice. Seeing that everyone was attracted by Sister Yu's next words, he relaxed a little.
"The old year has passed, and in the new year, our family compound will see even more positive changes! First of all, regarding the employment issue that everyone is concerned about, the supply and marketing cooperative will definitely be open next year. There will be an exam to compete for positions, and the supply and marketing cooperative, like the school, will switch to a model of cooperation with local governments. By then, we will be serving the entire mountainous area population, and we must showcase our demeanor as military wives!"
"In addition, the school will also plan to enroll students in the spring..."
Mu Huaixi walked out of the cafeteria in the afternoon. Facing the warm sunshine and listening to the couples around her expressing their expectations and prospects for the new year, she felt that she had truly welcomed the best New Year in her entire life.
That night, the two of them had a belated New Year's Eve dinner at home.
Fried meatballs are stewed with radish and cabbage to make a delicious meatball stew. Stinky hairtail is fried first and then stewed. It smells stinky but tastes especially fresh. There are also cold radish, scrambled eggs, and a plate of oil-dregs dumplings.
Ying Mingcheng opened another bottle of Moutai, poured the bottom of her cup, and filled his own cup. He held the cup tightly and insisted on clinking it with hers. "Congratulations, Doctor Mu! I hope you have smooth work and everything goes well in the new year, and receive more recognition!"
Mu Huaixi was amused by him and touched him sincerely, "You too!"
