Chapter 37 If I have to say thank you, tonight...

Hearing this, Yu Qing took a breath. She didn't know what to say, so she thought for a moment: "I have been influenced by it since I was a child. I think it will be easy to pass the exam."

Wen Ci understood what Dr. Yu meant, and she immediately shut her mouth.

Yu Qing seemed to have thought of something and asked, "I heard that the family members of the Northwest Military Region's military family compound prefer to be teachers. Wen Ci, why don't you become a teacher?"

She and Wen Ci were of similar age, and even though they had only known each other for a short while, she already considered Wen Ci a friend, and her questions were asked sincerely.

Teachers are different from nurses.

Teachers have regular winter and summer vacations every year, and they also have holidays when students have holidays. Only during the winter and summer vacations will their wages be lower.

Wen Ci said calmly, "The children are too noisy."

Huo Jingyuan asked her opinion on whether to become a teacher.

Wen Ci likes children, but only those who don't cry or make a fuss and behave themselves. Being a teacher, you will inevitably encounter those disobedient children.

So Wen Ci simply chose to be a nurse.

"That's right."

Yu Qing smiled and agreed.

-

Wen Ci had a fulfilling day. His main task was to help patients take thermometers. The temperature difference between day and night in the Northwest Military Region was large, and soldiers often caught colds and fevers.

"Let's go eat?" Yu Qing changed into his own clothes, walked to Wen Ci, and asked: "I heard that there is meat in the cafeteria tonight."

The hospital cafeteria provides all-inclusive meals for doctors and nurses.

"No."

Wen Ci shook her head and rejected Dr. Yu's invitation. She and Huo Jingyuan agreed that she wanted to eat the noodles he made tonight. A happy smile appeared on her face:

"Today is my first day at work and my husband is waiting for me at home."

Yu Qing remembered that Wen Ci was married: "See you tomorrow."

Wen Ci: "See you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye, Wen Ci walked back to the family compound. As soon as she stepped into the guard room at the door, she was greeted with a warm hug and she was about to break free.

"Sister Wen Ci, thank you so much."

When he heard Sister Jing's voice, Wen Ci's thoughts of knocking her down disappeared. Hearing that Sister Jing's voice was a little tearful, he asked with concern: "Sister Jing, have you passed the job of chef in the kitchen?"

Zhu Jing let go of Wen Ci, "I passed. I can go to work tomorrow. I can earn a salary starting tomorrow. Thank you, sister Wen Ci."

"Sister Jing, this has nothing to do with me."

"It's related." Zhu Jing's face was very serious: "If you hadn't mentioned it to your man, how could the Minister of Logistics know my name?"

Her husband is just a small soldier in the Northwest Military Region, so how can he have a say in front of the Minister of Logistics?

“It’s a piece of cake.”

Zhu Jing: "Sister Wen Ci, I would like to invite you and your husband to have dinner at my house on Friday."

Wen Ci smiled and refused: "No need to treat me to a meal, otherwise it will seem like I am using the back door."

Zhu Jing suddenly understood.

The military compound is different from other places. Soldiers have to observe discipline. As soon as she took up the job in the canteen kitchen, she invited Captain Xue to dinner.

Even if she didn't use the backdoor to let people know, people would still make up stories about her.

"I am confused."

Wen Ci smiled, and then her stomach made a sound of hunger. She swallowed and said, "Sister Jing, let's not talk for now. My man is waiting for me at home."

"Okay, okay."

Zhu Jing was all smiles, she knew Wen Ci was newlywed. As someone who had experienced this, she knew it all too well that a young couple would feel like they had been apart for a long time.

"hey-hey."

Wen Ci's pace also gradually quickened. As soon as he reached the gate, he ran into Huo Jingyuan who opened the door. The man's words were as deep as ink. "If you don't come back, I will go to the hospital to pick you up."

Wen Ci took Huo Jingyuan's arm naturally and said, "I chatted with Sister Jing for a while at the gate of the family compound. She passed the test of being the chef."

Huo Jingyuan nodded.

In the afternoon, he participated in the selection of the chef in the canteen as a cadre of the regiment headquarters of the Northwest Military Region. The home-cooked food tasted really good.

Finally, unanimous agreement was reached.

"Thank you again." Wen Ci said.

If Huo Jingyuan and his superiors hadn't recommended Sister Jing, she wouldn't even have the chance to be the chef in the kitchen.

"Do we need to say thank you to each other?"

The man's voice was deep and magnetic, his eyes fixed on Wen Ci who was holding his arms. He seemed to have thought of something and smiled, "If you must say thank you, tonight..."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Ci understood from the man's tone. He let go of his arm and trotted: "No, no, I'm going to eat noodles."

After dinner, the landline phone at home suddenly rang. Huo Jingyuan was washing dishes in the kitchen. He said, "Aci, can you answer the phone?"

“Isn’t this bad?”

Wen Ci blinked.

What if it was a call from a leader, and if she rashly answered the call and it affected Huo Jingyuan?

"Nothing wrong with that."

"All right."

Wen Ci answered the phone. The person on the other end said it was from the Northwest Military Region switchboard. The female communications soldier asked, "Is this Captain Huo?"

"Yes." Wen Ci answered helpfully.

"Who are you?"

"I am Captain Huo's wife."

For calls coming from outside the Northwest Military Region, the switchboard needs to confirm the identity before connecting the two parties.

"It's like this. A captain named Jiang from Beijing called and claimed to be the family of Captain Huo's wife. Do you think we should connect you?"

Hearing this, Wen Ci frowned.

Why did Jiang Chen call from so far away for no reason? After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Let's connect."

After washing the dishes, Huo Jingyuan walked from the kitchen to the living room. Seeing Wen Ci's frowning expression, he walked to Wen Ci's side and opened his mouth to ask, "Who called?"

"Jiang Chen."

With Wen Ci's consent, the switchboard connected the call from Beijing. Both parties were silent on the phone. After about half a minute, Jiang Chen's voice rang out:

"Is it Jingyuan?"

Wen Ci said calmly: "No."

From the first sentence, Wen Ci could tell that Jiang Chen must have something to ask Huo Jingyuan, otherwise his tone would not be so cordial.

"What's the matter Captain Jiang calling about?"

Wen Ci spoke in a neither hurried nor slow tone, and even sounded a bit sarcastic.

"Where's Huo Jingyuan? Let him answer the phone." Jiang Chen heard that it was Wen Ci's voice, and his voice suddenly changed, "I have something to talk to him about."

Wen Ci curled his lips and repeated his words in a righteous and sarcastic tone: "I have something to ask him, so I'll ask him to answer the phone~"

Jiang Chen: “…”

After a moment of silence, Wen Ci saw that he was not going to talk anymore, so he slowly said, "Captain Jiang, if you have something to say, just tell me. If you don't, I'll hang up."

The switchboard could hear their conversation.

If there was something really important and urgent, Jiang Chen would not be so hesitant.

"three."

"two."

Wen Ci does the final countdown.

"Don't hang up." Jiang Chen said. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "I want Jing Yuan to go to Hai City Railway Station to pick up Xiao Ye."
