Wang Ru, who was squatting by the well washing clothes, looked up at her sister Zheng Wenjing and asked with a smile, "Is Yun Qiao giving birth?"
Their beds were next to each other, and they ate and slept together every day, so after Yun Qiao left the company, Zheng Wenjing was closest to Wang Ru.
Wang Ru had been listening to Zheng Wenjing talking about this all day long, so when she heard her cheering, she immediately thought of Yun Qiao.
Zheng Wenjing raised the letter in her hand, smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, she was born on October 1st, National Day, just two days ago."
Wei Xing, who was also doing laundry nearby, asked curiously, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"She is a very beautiful girl." Zheng Wenjing said happily.
Wang Ru teased, "You haven't even met her yet, so how do you know she's a very beautiful girl? Did you hear it in the letter?"
"I guessed," Zheng Wenjing said confidently, "Yun Qiao is so pretty, and Comrade He is not ugly either. I can tell with just a little thought that their child will definitely be very beautiful."
"That's true." Wei Xing smiled and said, "They are both very good-looking, so their child will definitely not be ugly."
"That's what I think. My goddaughter must be the most beautiful little girl in the whole area."
Zheng Wenjing chuckled twice. She couldn't wait to meet Yun Qiao and her goddaughter.
So, he said to Wei Xing, "Squad Leader, I want to take a leave tomorrow."
Wei Xing asked her, "Ask for leave to visit Yun Qiao?"
Zheng Wenjing nodded: "The last time I saw her was during the Chinese New Year. I missed her, so I wanted to take this opportunity to go see her."
Wei Xing nodded and said, "Well, I've approved it. Just write a note and ask Captain Yang to sign it."
"Great." Zheng Wenjing happily hugged Wei Xing, "Thank you so much, my good squad leader!"
Wei Xing smiled and said, "You can ask for leave, but you have to arrange for someone to take your place at work. You can't leave any time unused."
"Know."
After saying that, Zheng Wenjing went into the house, quickly wrote a leave application, and rushed out like a gust of wind to find Captain Yang to sign it.
Captain Yang had a stern face and looked very serious, but he was not harsh. After asking the reason, he agreed to Zheng Wenjing's leave request and signed the leave note.
Zheng Wenjing achieved her goal and skipped out of the company commander's office with her leave note.
She was humming a song happily, and when she went out, she happened to meet Guan Ce, the new medical worker of the company, who had just come back from an outpatient consultation.
Qi was Yun Qiao, and the two had a pretty good relationship. When they met, they stopped and said hello.
"Comrade Zheng."
Zheng Wenjing responded, and seeing the medical kit Guan Ce was carrying, she asked with a smile, "Dr. Guan is out seeing patients?"
Guan Ce nodded: "Auntie Liu sprained her ankle and asked me to come over to see if the bone was broken."
"You're not hurt, are you?"
"No, it will be fine after a while." Guan Ce smiled and asked, "How about you? I see you are smiling and looking very happy today. Did something good happen to you?"
"There is a good thing, but it's not mine."
Guan Ce took over the medical worker's class from Yun Qiao and was considered her student. Zheng Wenjing told Guan Ce about this.
"It's Yun Qiao. She gave birth two days ago. I received the news and asked for a day off to visit her at her home."
"Really? That's a really good thing." Guan Ce said happily, "How are you now, Teacher? Are you okay?"
Zheng Wenjing said: "It's fine, mother and daughter are safe."
"As long as mother and daughter are safe," Guan Ce asked again, "Comrade Zheng, when are you going to visit my teacher? Could you bring some things for me?"
Zheng Wenjing: "Sure, I'll go tomorrow. What do you want me to bring for you?"
"Having a child is a happy occasion. If you don't know, forget it. But if you do know, you must express your gratitude." Guan Ce said, "The teacher may not accept money directly. I will discuss it with my family to see what is a suitable gift."
"Yes." Zheng Wenjing nodded. "But don't bring anything too big or too heavy. I have to change trains and may not be able to take it with me."
"Okay, I understand." Guan Ce said, "Then I'll go to your educated youth compound to find you early tomorrow morning."
Zheng Wenjing: "No, I'll come to the clinic to find you tomorrow. I have to pass by the team headquarters on my way out anyway."
Guan Ce: "Okay."
After saying goodbye to Guan Ce, Zheng Wenjing walked towards the city.
When passing by the transport team behind the team headquarters, he was stopped again.
"Zheng Wenjing."
"Um?"
Zheng Wenjing raised her head when she heard that, and found that the person who had stopped her was Fu Ming, the troublemaker in the team.
This was a rebellious educated youth. When he first arrived, he committed many crimes and was even punished to do hard labor in a quarry. Later, he made amends and performed well and was transferred to the transport team. Because of his strong ability and connections in the society, he could find a market for the company's output, so the company leaders were more tolerant of him.
Zheng Wenjing had a bad impression of him and never took the initiative to talk to him.
The man who was punished to go to the quarry was because he offended the female educated youth, and the person he offended was Yun Qiao, so she hated him from the bottom of her heart.
Zheng Wenjing didn't want to talk to Fu Ming, but because she had already nodded in response, it was too late to turn around and leave.
She didn't want to offend Fu Ming, the troublemaker, so she suppressed her disgust, glanced at him expressionlessly, and asked him, "What do you want from me?"
Fu Ming put a cigarette between the fingers of his hand, took a puff, and said with a nonchalant smile: "If there is nothing wrong, can't I call you?"
Zheng Wenjing pursed her lips in silence, then said after a while, "It's okay, I'm leaving."
"No." Fu Ming stopped her, "Are you going to the military family compound tomorrow? I know the way there. Our transport team is going to the Tenth Regiment tomorrow, which isn't far from there. I can give you a ride."
"Really?" Zheng Wenjing hesitated and asked him, "Where is the Tenth Group?"
She had only been to the family compound once, when Yun Qiao got married. That time, she sat in the back of a truck. The tarpaulin blocked her view, and the truck was shaking and bumping on the road. She felt very dizzy and had not remembered the way at all.
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?" Fu Ming said, "The 10th Regiment is northeast of here. You haven't been there, so you wouldn't know where it is even if I told you. Anyway, it's pretty close to the troops. I'll show you the way once we get there, and you'll know."
Zheng Wenjing said "Oh".
