The shouting was deafening. Shi Yanning and Zhou Pingping stood there in a daze. It took them a while to slowly calm down and come back to their senses.
Shi Yanning raised the corners of his lips slightly under Zhou Pingping's teasing gaze and replied: "Hello, everyone."
Then Shi Yanning said something to Zhou Pingping and went home to eat. After all, she really wanted to save face.
Huo Chenzhou didn't say anything, but asked the chef in the cafeteria to prepare three lunch boxes. Shi Yanning waited on the side and handed a lunch box to Zhou Pingping. Then the two left hand in hand.
Huo Chenzhou was happy on the way, and kept sharing with Shi Yanning the interesting things he had experienced in the army. He also mentioned Dabao and Xiaobao at home. The atmosphere between the two was so sweet that people around them called it sweet.
"Is this the captain's wife? So young? She must be several years younger than the captain, right?" Two people were eating in the yard. The woman glanced outside the door and said, there was a half-grown child next to them who was breathing madly.
"Well, the regimental commander is young to begin with, and he is a member of the special forces. Many of the missions this time can probably only be accomplished by the soldiers under his command.
The quality of the soldiers under Lao Liang and I are incomparable. Come on, eat. I have to go for more training later. It’s better not to be too far behind them.”
An ordinary-looking man said.
"Are we really going to build a road?" The woman still didn't quite believe it.
"Yes, the experts are here. They came this morning and are eating on campus now. The political commissar said they want to build a small kitchen for the experts, but they don't want to. They just want to eat with the soldiers."
At this point, the man's face was full of admiration. After all, who would give away something they had obtained?
The man quickly ate up the lunch in the lunch box, picked up the lid and went to wash the lunch box. The woman murmured behind him: "This leader also came today. I don't know if he is easy to get along with."
There were several military families who were equally puzzled. After dinner, when they were occasionally planting vegetables together, or when they met on the road, they would ask a few questions, and inevitably talked about the new regiment commander's wife.
"What is this captain's wife like? Is she easy to get along with?"
"I heard he came from a big city, but I've never been there, so I don't know."
"She's beautiful! She's like a fairy!"
Shi Yanning was unaware of all this. Her current task was to modify the architectural drawings that she and Zhou Pinping had simulated before. After experiencing the climate, topography and conditions of the Northwest, Shi Yanning felt that some places needed to be modified.
She told Zhou Pingping about her concerns, and Zhou Pingping had also thought about it and was thinking about making changes together, so the two of them divided the work and completed their respective tasks.
Three days later, another set of new architectural drawings was handed over to Mr. Qu.
Mr. Qu is the director of the Railway Bureau and a professor at the Imperial Capital University. However, due to his busy schedule, he can only give two large classes every semester, and each class is always full.
Shi Yanning was lucky enough to get a seat and listen to the show. She fell in love with it instantly, which is why she later decided to focus on railway construction.
Qu Feng carefully took the blueprint, looked over it again and again, compared it, and analyzed it. After a while, he said, "Comrade Shi and Comrade Zhou's blueprint is really good and can be put into use directly."
The seniors around them all looked at the two with wide eyes and were happy for them.
"These two young comrades are really good. They can endure loneliness and know how to study hard."
Professor Liu was also happy for the two of them from the bottom of his heart. They are all working for the development of the motherland, and at their age, they hope that more and more young forces can be injected into it.
They came out of the imperial capital and have just reached the edge of the northwest. They have already walked for two days and one night. If the railway construction is not carried out, it is unknown what kind of ethnic conflicts will arise in the future.
"Are you two interested in following me and building the railway in the Northwest?"
Qu Feng spoke as if he had made up his mind.
Architect Liu was even happier for the two of them.
"I'm interested. Thank you Mr. Qu for your trust in us. We will study hard and work harder."
Zhou Pingping didn't expect such a surprise and was so excited that she was incoherent for a moment.
Ms. Sang was happy because her major was bridges and she would not be suitable to be a graduate student in the future. However, she was happy to find a leader like Mr. Qu. The achievements of both of them would be immeasurable.
At this point, Shi Yanning and Zhou Pingping's drawings were used in road construction. Qu Lao was the chief engineer, and Huo Chenzhou was the commander.
Because of thermal expansion and contraction, Huo Chenzhou often had to work until midnight to clean up everything, but when he came back, he always saw his wife still drawing blueprints with her head down.
Every time this happened, Huo Chenzhou would force Shi Yanning to rest. After all, his wife's body couldn't take it any longer. After a week, both of them felt like they had lost a layer of skin.
"Wife, my mother called today and said that Dabao started calling her mom and asked if you wanted to return the call."
Shi Yanning had just laid down and was about to close her eyes to sleep, but suddenly opened them again: "Really? When I first arrived, I called my mother, and she said that Dabao and Xiaobao were eating and drinking as usual, but they were always making a fuss to find her. Every day when she couldn't find them, they would cry for a while, and then my aunt would give them something fun, and they would stop crying.
Now he knows how to use this to threaten adults. Next time he asks for something, he will cry if he doesn’t give it to him.”
"So smart, just like my wife." Huo Chenzhou never missed any opportunity to praise his wife.
"I'm just worried that if the family members love them too much and spoil them, they will have bad tempers in the future."
Shi Yanning expressed his worries, yawned loudly, and gradually fell asleep.
Huo Chenzhou listened to the steady breathing in his arms, slightly lifted the quilt to prevent any cold wind from getting close, and fell asleep.
The next day, the two of them slept in for a rare time. After all, man is made of iron and food is made of steel, and they also needed to adjust their state.
The troops had a rare break, and it was very quiet. Everyone was quietly repairing their spirits.
When Shi Yanning woke up, he looked up at the sun and it was already noon. Huo Chenzhou beside him had already gotten up and was no longer hot.
Just as he was struggling to get up, he saw the door was pushed open. Huo Chenzhou came to call his wife to eat.
"Wife, you're awake. Come and have dinner. I've already prepared the meal."
"When did you wake up?" Shi Yanning was being helped to dress, and he saw clothes hanging in the yard through the window.
"I haven't been awake for long. I've already washed my clothes. Do you want to go shopping for some groceries together this afternoon?"
Huo Chenzhou handed the chopsticks to Shi Yanning and brought hot water.
This is Shi Yanning's habit, drinking a cup of hot water after waking up.
"Okay, we have to hurry up, this place is still some distance from the market."
After Shi Yanning finished eating, Huo Chenzhou went to wash the lunch box, and Shi Yanning went out. She wanted to ask her grandmother and Pingping if they wanted to go.
