Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve.
The Chinese New Year holiday now starts on the first day of the lunar new year and lasts for a total of three days.
But in reality, many companies quietly stop going on the 30th, except for those workers who work in three shifts and staff in some important positions.
Around 9 p.m., at the military airfield, a transport plane was slowly taxiing on the runway.
Tian Jun stood ramrod straight on the tarmac, with the black Audi parked beside him.
He had just finished washing up in his dorm and was about to go to sleep when the duty room came over to tell him to go to the airport to pick someone up.
He knew immediately that the director had returned, so he quickly put on his clothes and rushed over.
Fortunately, I made it back before the New Year. During this time, everyone in the hospital's logistics department was on edge, and they even spoke in hushed tones in the corridor.
Because their leader, Comrade Ding Qiunan, has been in a bad mood lately. Although he won't scold or provoke people for no reason, anyone who makes a mistake during this time is on their own.
The entire logistics department had probably never missed Li Chu as much as they had ever.
People are praying to the gods and Buddhas every day, hoping he can come back soon.
Many people's first thing to do when they get to work every morning is to ask if Director Li has returned. If they hear that he hasn't, they walk on tiptoe.
After taxiing on the runway for a while, the plane slowly came to a stop.
Upon seeing this, Tian Jun quickly straightened his military uniform.
On the plane, with the help of a soldier next to him, Li Chu unbuckled his seatbelt, shook his head, and stood up.
The engine roar was still humming in my ears.
"Sir, please slow down!"
You could see the soldier's lips moving, but you couldn't hear a single word.
Li Chu shook his head and pointed to his ear, indicating that he was out of sight.
The soldier smiled shyly; this was normal.
Every time Li Chu took a transport plane, he felt as if he had gone through a life-or-death ordeal.
These transport plane pilots are like bandits, especially the one who flew the plane today. They said he had just switched from fighter jets. His piloting skills were... well, let's just say they were indescribable!
It's not that they're not skilled; they can fly both fighter jets and transport planes. Who would dare say they're not skilled? The key issue is that they're just too good.
He might have wanted to show off his skills from time to time, but luckily someone reminded him that he was flying a transport plane and there were people sitting in the back cabin, otherwise he might have flown upside down.
After standing there for a long time, Li Chu finally felt that his ears were back to normal, the roaring sound had subsided considerably, and his soul, which had been chasing after him, had returned to his body.
While he was in the air, he thought that roller coasters, pirate ships, bungee jumping and the like were nothing. If you want to find thrills, come and ride a plane piloted by a fighter jet pilot. The feeling of your body flying in front and your soul chasing behind is something he never wants to experience again in his life.
“Xiao Chen, if the pilot is the same person again for the next mission, let me know in advance. I’ll take the train by myself. It’s too thrilling. I feel like I’ll lose a few years of my life. I don’t want to die young.”
The hatch opened and the ladder was in place. Li Chu, carrying his bag, couldn't help but complain before getting off.
Xiao Chen, standing behind, couldn't help but smile bitterly upon hearing this.
This leader is already considered quite good; at least he didn't vomit. Apart from those who ride regularly, it's common for temporary passengers to vomit terribly on board.
Moreover, this person has a really good temper; he only complained at the very end, saying that he was worried this person might get angry.
As soon as Li Chu stepped out of the cabin, he immediately saw Tian Jun standing straight below.
"Snap!" A very standard military salute.
"Director, welcome home!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaotian, coming to pick me up in the middle of the night."
"It's not hard work, it's just my job."
Tian Jun smiled and took the bag, then led Li Chu toward the car.
"Oh, it's so much more comfortable to ride in a car! Xiao Tian, you have no idea, those are the iron benches on airplanes, it's so uncomfortable to sit on them, there's nothing to lean on. I'm just in good health, but if an old man went up there for two or three hours, he would definitely die up there."
The only good thing was that on the way back, since I didn't have anything else to carry, I could smoke up there, which at least helped me calm down; otherwise, the jostling made me feel nauseous.
As Tian Jun drove, he listened with a smile to his boss's complaints. He hadn't seen his boss for over a month and he really missed him.
"Has anything been happening at the hospital lately?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just that the comrades in the logistics department miss you a bit."
"Huh? The logistics department misses me? What do you mean?"
"You've been gone for over a month. Director Ding was probably a little anxious and irritable because he was worried about you, you know..."
hey-hey!
Although Tian Jun didn't finish speaking, Li Chu could already imagine it and shook his head with a smile.
"What are the hospital's arrangements for the Chinese New Year?"
"There are no special arrangements. The duty roster has already been drawn up. As you know, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Except for some essential matters, most people probably won't be coming."
"Xiao Tian, will you still have time to go back to visit your family tomorrow?"
"Oh? Director, I won't be going back this year. Let's talk about it after spring."
"That works too. Just let me know in advance when you want to take a vacation."
"Understood, Director."
Although the car was moving at a good speed, it was already past ten o'clock when we arrived at the entrance of the alley.
Under the cover of night, apart from a few streetlights still emitting their own light, not a single ghost could be seen.
"Alright, Xiaotian, you can drive back now. You don't need to pick me up tomorrow. Just come over on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year."
"Director, I'll bring the car to you tomorrow."
"Okay, no rush, no need to come too early. I probably won't be going out tomorrow."
"Understood, Director. Please get some rest."
"good"
After watching Tian Jun back the car out of the alley, Li Chu walked to his front door. The small opening on the gate that could be opened from the outside had been locked from the inside. He thought for a moment and gently knocked on the door.
Those silly dogs should be able to hear me, right?
Not only did they hear it, but when the car arrived, the dogs that were sleeping in the living room had already woken up. After listening for a while, Chu Yi pushed open the bedroom door and ran in.
Li Chu strictly forbade them from running out of the living room on their own, because they could open the door, but they couldn't close it properly.
On the first day of the lunar new year, when I entered the house to call for people, the remaining dogs, including the lazy Monkey King and Pigsy, were all waiting at the living room door.
Ding Qiunan, who was sleeping soundly on the kang (a heated brick bed), suddenly heard a dog whimpering. She reached out and turned on the bedside lamp, and saw Chu Yi with its two front paws on the edge of the bed and its tail wagging loudly.
After a moment of surprise, she suddenly realized what was happening, grabbed the clothes lying to the side, and started putting them on.
