Chapter 74
"Thank you, Comrade Xia. I will go back and discuss this with my wife."
Tang Wan was indeed a little confused, so she didn't give Xia Qing a positive answer.
"Okay, the exam will be held at 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow. If you've made up your mind, bring your diploma with you to take the exam.
After you pass the exam, you will need to provide your letter of introduction and household registration booklet for employment. If you have any questions, you can ask me. "
Xia Qing is not particularly enthusiastic, but she is quite nice to Tang Wan.
Tang Wan couldn't imagine how she and Qiu Dazao got along at home.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Huaijing hurried over. When he saw Tang Wan, he looked her up and down with his dark eyes.
"Wife, are you okay?"
When Lu Huaijing heard that his daughter-in-law jumped into the river to save someone, he was scared to death.
When he returned to the compound and didn't find her, and heard that she was in the hospital, Lu Huaijing was even more worried.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Tang Wan smiled easily and there didn't seem to be any problem, so Lu Huaijing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You guys chat first, I have something else to do."
Xia Qing left in a hurry, and Tang Wan quickly recounted what happened today.
Facing his eyes, Tang Wan couldn't help but say, "Lu Huaijing, if I don't get pregnant, will you blame me?"
Maybe women are just like that, especially easy to put themselves in other people's shoes.
Hearing this, Lu Huaijing looked at Tang Wan and said very seriously: "No, daughter-in-law, we will let fate take care of the child."
Frankly speaking, he is not obsessed with having children at the moment and is looking forward to spending the next few days with Tang Wan.
But if the child comes, he will also try hard to learn to be a good husband and a good father.
"You're a pass."
Tang Wan snorted lightly. Although she didn't know whether Lu Huaijing would change in the future, at least he was speaking sincerely at the moment.
She told Lu Huaijing about the military hospital's recruitment again, and finally asked him.
"What do you think?"
"If you want to try it, come and take the job exam."
Lu Huaijing's determined gaze softened Tang Wan's heart. "Hospitals must check the background of recruits, right?"
She was obviously worried that finding out the ingredient problem would affect Lu Huaijing.
"Your household registration has been transferred to the army, and you are a poor peasant like my family. These will not affect you."
Lu Huaijing gave her a dose of reassurance, and she said with a smile:
"Then I'll give it a try then."
Seeing that she was in a very good mood, Lu Huaijing also smiled and said, "I support you."
"By the way, what happened to your troops? How many wounded soldiers were sent over just now?"
Tang Wan regretted it after she finished speaking, "I don't mean to ask, it's okay if you don't say it if you can't."
"It's not something that cannot be discussed. It's just that there was a slight mistake during training. It's not a big deal and the person in charge will handle it."
This incident did not happen in Lu Huaijing's group. When he just arrived, he met the leader of the neighboring group.
The two chatted briefly, and Lu Huaijing didn't ask any specific questions.
It was nothing serious, Tang Wan urged him back to the unit, "I'm fine, you can continue your training.
Don't let me delay anything. I'll be back as soon as Captain Cheng arrives."
"Don't worry about it. Go back first. The doctor is here to take care of everything."
When Lu Huaijing thought of Xu Cuiying's family, his expression suddenly became speechless.
Originally, he wanted Tang Wan to avoid the other party, but before she even walked out of the hospital, two people came towards her.
A young man in military uniform, with an anxious look on his face, ran very fast with his long legs.
Behind him was a girl with pigtails, she ran and said:
"Brother, run slower. My sister-in-law is so old, yet she still wants to jump into the river.
If something really happens and it brings shame to our Cheng family, you have to give her a good talk about it."
This person was criticizing Xu Cuiying in every word he said. Tang Wan immediately understood who was gossiping in front of Xu Cuiying every day.
"Shut up."
Captain Cheng turned his head and glared at his sister, and the two of them noticed Lu Huaijing and Tang Wan with their sharp eyes.
"Deputy Colonel Lu, sister-in-law."
Battalion Commander Cheng saluted, and Cheng Xiaoyue behind him stared blankly at Lu Huaijing.
Cheng Xiaoyue was not tall and had a fairly fair face. When she stared at Lu Huaijing, her eyes were filled with infatuation.
"Deputy Captain Lu, why are you here too?"
This clearly doesn't look like the first time I met Lu Huaijing.
Tang Wan felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't show it. Her eyes fell on Captain Cheng.
"Are you Xu Cuiying's lover?"
"It's me!"
A trace of guilt appeared on Captain Cheng's face. Before he could finish his words, Cheng Xiaoyue said:
"Comrade, what happened to my sister-in-law? She is such a sensitive person.
She takes people's words so seriously. My brother is so busy every day. Isn't she just looking for trouble?"
"Cheng Xiaoyue, shut up!"
Captain Cheng glared at Cheng Xiaoyue fiercely, and she became so angry that her eyes turned red.
"Brother, I am your biological sister. Are you killing me for outsiders?"
"She is not an outsider, she is your sister-in-law!"
Captain Cheng was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing, and Cheng Xiaoyue was screaming.
"You're so distressed about a hen that doesn't lay eggs. I'm going to tell my mother and let her make the decision for me!"
Her sharp voice quickly attracted the attention of many people in the hospital. Lu Huaijing frowned, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes.
Tang Wan thought of Xu Cuiying's weak appearance and couldn't help but remind her:
"Captain Cheng, Comrade Cuiying is pregnant. She almost had a miscarriage just now. I'm afraid she can't stand the stimulation right now."
Cheng Xiaoyue's unforgiving mouth would probably irritate Xu Cuiying in the past.
"How could she be pregnant?!!"
Cheng Xiaoyue's eyes widened in surprise, she turned to look at Captain Cheng and said:
"Brother, you haven't come back to live here many times since you got married. This child might not be yours, but someone else's..."
Snap...
Captain Cheng slapped Cheng Xiaoyue in the face, leaving a five-finger mark on her face.
He was so angry that he was shaking, "Cheng Xiaoyue, go back and pack your things.
After I settle your sister-in-law, I will take you to the train station tomorrow."
"I won't leave!"
Cheng Xiaoyue knew that her brother was really angry this time, so she stomped her feet and ran away.
Looking at her back, Captain Cheng's eyes were filled with pain, and he said to Lu Huaijing and Tang Wan apologetically:
"Deputy Captain, sister-in-law, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Today's incident was all thanks to you for saving my wife.
Once I have dealt with these minor matters, I will come to thank you in person."
"Don't be so polite, go see Cuiying."
Tang Wan had a good impression of Captain Cheng, so she didn't make things difficult for him and even gave him a few reminders.
Captain Cheng left with mixed feelings, while Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing walked out.
She thought of the look Cheng Xiaoyue had given Lu Huaijing just now, and asked directly:
"Are you familiar with his sister?"
"Wife, don't be angry yet, just listen to my explanation."
Lu Huaijing looked innocent and said helplessly: "You may not know why Cheng Xiaoyue followed Xu Cuiying to the army."
"Why?"
Tang Wan intuitively felt that the answer might surprise her.
