After everything was cleaned up, He Tingjun washed an apple, cut it in half, and gave half to Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao moved a chair, sat at the door of the main room, and started eating an apple.
There is also an apple tree planted in her yard. It is a big tree, about seven or eight years old. It was transplanted by He Tingjun directly from his commander's house. His commander retired in September of that year. Leaving the apple tree in the yard would be a good thing for the next owner. It would be better for He Tingjun, who had a life-long love for it, to keep it.
He Tingjun has now planted this apple tree outside the window of the east room. Next year, they will probably be able to eat the fruits from their own apple tree.
I plan to plant a hawthorn tree under the west window, but I haven’t found a suitable one yet. I’ll transplant it here when I find one.
He Tingjun also brought a small stool over and sat next to Yun Qiao, casually starting the conversation: "How do you feel about your first day on the job?"
"I don't feel anything. It's so relaxing, just like playing. It doesn't even feel like work." Yun Qiao told He Tingjun everything that happened in the morning.
"There are four people in the bathroom, including me, but only two patients came in this morning. That's an average of two people per patient. Tell me, is that a lot of work?"
"Do you like a leisurely life?" He Tingjun asked Yun Qiao, "Or do you prefer a more challenging job?"
Yun Qiao: "That's definitely a relaxing job. Easy work and a steady salary, who wouldn't like that kind of work?"
Besides, she planned to work, raise a child, and study for the college entrance examination at the same time, hoping to pass it in one try when the college entrance examination is resumed in seven years. Only a job that is leisurely enough can support her to realize this plan.
He Tingjun nodded: "That's quite good, this job seems to be a suitable arrangement."
"It's a good match, I like it." Yun Qiao said, "My two colleagues seem okay too, not the kind of people who would bother with anything. Especially Gao Qian, she's also a military dependent and lives in Hutong No. 1. She's very talkative and even invited me to go to the nearby village every day to buy free-range eggs."
He Tingjun had no impression of Gao Qian's name, so he asked, "What's her husband's name? Do you know?"
Yun Qiao shook her head. "I didn't ask that. I only know her husband's rank is also deputy battalion commander, but he's already 33 years old."
Although Yun Qiao gave a specific range, He Tingjun's brain still couldn't match the corresponding information.
The main reason was that their division had five regiments, each with three battalions, three battalion commanders, and one deputy battalion commander. A total of thirty deputy battalion commanders were needed for the five regiments.
The office and training locations of each regiment are different, and the ways to get to know and communicate with them are limited. He Tingjun just met many people to get to know them, and Gao Qian's husband just belonged to the group that He Tingjun was not familiar with, so He Tingjun could not guess who it was for a while.
He Tingjun said, "Next time, you can ask for the other person's husband's name. You're working in the same office now, and you might be working together for years to come. It's important to exchange more information and maintain your relationship."
Yun Qiao nodded. "I know. She loves to chat. Maybe we'll know everything next time we chat. Let's go to the nearby village to buy eggs tomorrow. Maybe we can get to know some other military wives."
"That's great. It's good to make more friends. You'll have a few people you can talk to here in the future." He Tingjun reminded: "Also, when you go to the village, don't forget to bring the dual-purpose stun gun I gave you earlier. If anything happens, it will come in very handy."
Although He Tingjun felt that the safety near the base was guaranteed, he still brought his most dangerous equipment just in case.
After all, the neighboring country is not peaceful, and there are spy activities on the border from time to time.
A safe boat can sail for a thousand years, so be cautious.
He Tingjun couldn't help but remind them a few more times: "Be careful when you go there, try to walk on the main road, and don't go to places with green tents."
"Know."
