Chapter 35 I'll wait for you at home

In this era, Peking University and Tsinghua University are of extremely high value. Only a few people among thousands of people can pass the single-plank bridge to these top universities.

"Is it still impossible for me to get into the university even though I'm the top student in the school?" Zhu Jing asked curiously.

Her ancestors were royal chefs and her family lived a relatively wealthy life. Her family encouraged her to take the high school entrance exam, but her grades were too poor to be admitted.

Later, I often heard that the top student in the school finally went to Peking University or Tsinghua University.

Wen Ci shook his head: "School resources are different. The school I attend is a rural school. The top student in the provincial capital should be able to go there."

"Aren't you planning to go to work?" Wen Ci asked.

"I want to go, but I feel sleepy when I go to literacy class."

The Northwest Military Region does not offer many jobs for family members. Except for the jobs in the canteen kitchen, which do not require any education, all other jobs require literacy.

And passing the literacy class exam also depends on the assignment.

You won't be able to get a job right away.

Wen Ci chatted with the sisters until dinner time, and they all planned to go home to cook. Wen Ci also stood up from the stool and planned to go home.

Every noon, Huo Jingyuan would come back from the cafeteria with food.

-

Wen Ci got home just as Huo Jingyuan came home with food. He hung his coat by the door and lowered his head: "I may not be able to accompany you to the hospital tomorrow."

Wen Ci didn't ask the reason, knowing that he couldn't accompany him must be arranged by the army, but his tone sounded a little disappointed: "It doesn't matter, the hospital is not far away, I can go by myself."

"There's a meeting in the group that needs to be held." Huo Jingyuan explained to her.

"Uh-huh."

Wen Ci didn't really care, but he couldn't help feeling nervous, as if he had returned to the end of the world and was going to a company to look for a job or internship.

Suddenly she asked, "If I don't do a good job, will it embarrass you?"

"Won't."

Huo Jingyuan believes in his wife's abilities.

As a frequent visitor to the military hospital, he knows how simple a nurse's job is. If someone has a cold or fever, he only needs to help take the thermometer.

If someone is injured, just help bandage them.

The important work is done by doctors.

"By the way." Wen Ci was eating the food from the cafeteria, thinking of Zhu Jing's cooking skills, and asked: "I know a sister who is very good at cooking. Her ancestors were imperial chefs."

"Imperial chef?" Huo Jingyuan picked up a few pieces of lean meat and put them into Wen Ci's bowl. "What do you call her? I'll go to her place and get you some food next time."

"Sister Jing doesn't work in the cafeteria kitchen."

"Um?"

Huo Jingyuan frowned. Almost all the staff in the canteen's kitchen were family members of the family compound. Only people like these whose ancestors were royal chefs would hire someone to cook.

But Wen Ci said that he didn't work in the kitchen.

"What's your name? I'll ask someone later."

"Zhu Jing."

Huo Jingyuan nodded: "I understand."

The chef in charge of the kitchen needs to pass the group's assessment and can only be assigned to the job if his food is truly delicious. He had heard Wen Ci mention it last time.

Wen Ci mentioned it again today, he felt that such talent should not be missed.

"Then will you stay home and take a nap at noon?"

"No." Huo Jingyuan ate quickly. He had to go to the army for a meeting at noon, and taking a nap would take up too much time. "Madam, please wash the dishes. I have to go back to the army."

"knew."

Wen Ci's ears turned red.

She couldn't bear to hear Huo Jingyuan say the word "Madam". Even though they were already married, these two words were full of extreme ambiguity.

"Will you be back tonight?"

“I want to come back.”

Before getting married, Huo Jingyuan could not experience the warmth and warmth that his married comrades talked about having a lovely wife waiting for him at home. After getting married, he couldn't wait to go home after get off work.

"Then I'll wait for you at home."

-

Huo Jingyuan didn't come back until the second half of the night. Hearing the noise in the living room, Wen Ci woke up and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

The man did not turn on the light. He walked to the bedside very quietly and saw that Wen Ci was already awake. "Was it the noise so loud that it woke you up?"

"No." Wen Ci replied.

She thought Huo Jingyuan would not come back tonight.

Wen Ci reached out his hand to the man for a hug, and his voice was a little childish as he had just woken up: "Why are you back so late?"

"I promised you that I would come back." Huo Jingyuan said.

The army office was some distance away from the family compound, and the meeting ended at nearly one in the morning, so the Youth League Committee asked him to sleep in the dormitory.

Huo Jingyuan refused.

He promised Wen Ci that he would go back.

Wen Ci hugged Huo Jingyuan's arm. The man felt cold. "You're a little cold. Go to bed and warm yourself up first."

"I'm going to take a shower."

The man washed very quickly. In less than two minutes, he finished brushing his teeth and washing his face. He took off his coat and squeezed into the warm bed, smelling the fragrance of Wen Ci.

No matter how tired his body was, Huo Jingyuan no longer felt tired at this moment. He put his arm around Wen Ci's slender waist and said, "Go to sleep. You still have to go to work tomorrow."

Wen Ci placed his hand on his chest, "I'm not sleepy, but I'm still a little nervous."

Huo Jingyuan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous."

With the man's comfort, Wen Ci couldn't help but feel more relaxed. She moved her head and rested it on Huo Jingyuan's chest. "Are you leaving early tomorrow?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Ci heard the man's gentle breathing.

She raised her eyes to look at Huo Jingyuan, he was already asleep.

On Friday night, Huo Jingyuan rushed to Hai City overnight. The round trip took a lot of time. He also attended various meetings during the day the next day. He was very tired.

-

The next day.

Wen Ci was awakened by the sound of Huo Jingyuan getting up. Even the morning exercise horn hadn't sounded outside. She reached out and grabbed Huo Jingyuan's wrist, and asked in a hazy voice:

"Why are you leaving so early?"

"Well, last night's meeting wasn't over yet."

Huo Jingyuan said as he put on his clothes: "I'll ask Xue Li to bring you breakfast later."

"No need." Wen Ci refused.

It's not like she can't walk. The cafeteria is closer to the hospital. After breakfast, she plans to report to the hospital without bothering Xue Li.

"I'll go to the cafeteria to eat by myself later. Don't bother Xue Li."

"good."

Wen Ci let go of Huo Jingyuan's wrist and said coquettishly, "Can I eat the noodles you made tonight? I've been missing you for a while."

Wen Ci had been enjoying incredibly good food during her time in the Northwest Military Region. She suddenly missed the noodles that Huo Jingyuan had made himself when she was in the capital.

"You want to eat the noodles I made?"

"Yeah." Wen Ci nodded.

Huo Jingyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "That should be possible. Should I pick you up after get off work?"

“No need~”

After Huo Jingyuan left, Wen Ci took another nap. When she heard the horn for morning training, she slowly got up from the bed and put on a patchwork shirt.

She opened the door to the inner room. It was foggy outside. She put on Huo Jingyuan's military coat and went out. As soon as she left the family compound, she ran into Zhu Jing and others.

Wen Ci shouted, "Sister Jing, you guys are going to the cafeteria too?"

Zhu Jing held two bowls and said with a smile: "My naughty monkey can't wake up, so I have to beat the porridge back for him."
