Her eyes were downcast, and she followed He Tingjun silently. She didn't move to talk to He Tingjun until they arrived at the door of Commander Liang's house.
Commander Liang's wife opened the door for them.
"Xuezhi is back."
Cui Xuezhi called out, "Second Aunt," and said to He Tingjun, "Goodbye, Comrade He," and ran into the house quickly, without returning the clothes to He Tingjun.
He Tingjun greeted Commander Liang's wife, "Good evening, Aunt Cui."
Cui Jing smiled: "Good evening, Tingjun, thank you for bringing Xuezhi back. It's too cold outside, come inside and have a drink of water to warm yourself up."
"No need, Aunt Cui." He Tingjun declined and said goodbye: "I'll leave first. Goodbye."
"Okay, okay. The roads are slippery in the snow, so drive slowly." Commander Liang's wife reminded him to be careful.
He Tingjun nodded, turned and left.
As He Tingjun was on his way back to the dormitory, the snow began to fall heavier and heavier, and soon it covered his entire shoulders.
He Tingjun gave his warm military coat to Cui Xuezhi, so much so that when he returned to the dormitory, his fingers were almost frozen.
He grabbed a handful of snow from the railing of the porch, then opened the door and went into the house, rubbing the snow back and forth with his hands.
The snow melted and the warmth of my fingers returned.
He Tingjun is the company commander, but he is not yet in a position that allows him to live in a family housing complex, so he currently lives in a single dormitory.
The single dormitory is a double room with two separate compartments and a living room.
Living in the same room with He Tingjun was his deputy company commander Liu Zhijun.
The two were born in the same year, both 22 years old, but Liu Zhijun had already been married when he went to school.
He went home to visit his relatives after the Lantern Festival. In just one month's leave, he not only completed major life events such as blind dates, engagement, and marriage, but also successfully made his wife pregnant. At the end of the month, she gave birth to a big fat girl.
His wife sent him photos of their children from her hometown. Liu Zhijun took out the photos to show off to everyone he met, which successfully aroused a wave of hatred and also aroused the leaders' desire to act as matchmakers for the officers under them.
This is really hard for He Tingjun.
He Wei and Liu Zhijun lived in the same house. The two were almost the same in age and other conditions, so He Tingjun was the one who was most pressured to get married.
Every leader wanted him to emulate Liu Zhijun, but he simply refused to go on blind dates. As time went by, He Tingjun was almost becoming the anti-group leader.
At this time, Liu Zhijun was squatting in front of the stove to keep warm. There were two palm-sized sweet potatoes on the stove, and the skin had been roasted to have black and gray burnt marks.
"You're back." Liu Zhijun looked up at him and asked, "Are you happy attending the social gathering?"
He Tingjun took the water cup, poured it, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Then he said coldly, "You ask questions without knowing the answer."
Liu Zhijun knew that he had no plans to get married for the time being, so he hated such occasions and was especially afraid to avoid young girls.
Liu Zhijun was amused by He Tingjun's reaction: "Hahaha, why not just ask?"
He didn't dare to continue plucking the tiger's head. He reached out and pinched the skin of the sweet potato to make sure it was soft inside. Then he asked He Tingjun, "Do you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes?"
"Eat." He Tingjun pulled a small stool and sat down opposite the stove, taking the sweet potato handed to him by Liu Zhijun.
The sweet potatoes are roasted until they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and sugar and oil will sizzle out from the broken parts of the skin.
After peeling off the skin and taking a bite, the sweet taste instantly soothed He Tingjun's heart, which was almost frozen by the wind and snow.
After eating a piece of roasted sweet potato, He Tingjun's stern expression visibly relaxed.
Seeing this, Liu Zhijun couldn't help but feel restless.
He cautiously approached He Tingjun, winked at him, and asked in an ambiguous tone: "Brother Jun, did Captain Tian and the Battalion Commander force you to go on a blind date again?"
"Is the woman very beautiful?"
"How is it? Do you feel excited this time?"
