These two days, Jiang Qingyue had nothing to do and was particularly relaxed on the island.
Then I really started to think about the layout of the courtyard.
After staying at home for a few days, Zhou Zhengting finally couldn't help but go back to the army to get busy with his work.
But even so, I was only busy for half a day at most and then came back early.
So, apart from thinking about the layout of the courtyard, Jiang Qingyue spent the rest of her time reading books at home and chatting with her family on the phone.
The rest was to prepare dinner and wait for Zhou Zhengting to come back.
On this day, after Zhou Zhengting finished his breakfast and before leaving, he suddenly told Jiang Qingyue mysteriously that the army was going to hold a commendation meeting.
Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "Are you also one of the people to be commended?"
Zhou Zhengting nodded proudly, "Of course, your man is the one who is being honored. Do you want to come and see him?"
"Really? Of course I'll go then. What time? Where?"
Zhou Zhengting curled his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, take a nap at noon, and I'll pick you up when the time comes, and we'll go together."
"No." Jiang Qingyue knew that as the company commander, he must be the busiest person in an occasion like today, so he said he would go there himself.
"Anyway, this area is so small, I can find it by asking, just go ahead and do your thing."
Zhou Zhengting smiled helplessly and kissed her on the cheek before leaving. "Okay, then come after you have a good nap. I'll save a seat for you."
"Well, go ahead!"
After Zhou Zhengting left.
Jiang Qingyue cleared the breakfast on the table and washed the clothes she had taken off yesterday.
When I finished my work, it was only 9 o'clock.
Thinking that my family should have returned from the breakfast stall, I called home.
Today is Sunday and everyone is staying at home.
Jiang Qingyue chatted with Chenchen for a long time before she mentioned to her family that she was going to watch Zhou Zhengting's commendation meeting in the afternoon.
After hearing this, He Tiantian snatched the phone and shouted at the other end, "Qingyue, I'm telling you, don't just go over there in those long sleeves and long pants. After all, she's the captain's lover, so you have to dress up and make a stunning appearance, right?"
Jiang Qingyue was amused by her chuckle, "Today's protagonists are the soldiers who won the battle, not me. Why should I wear something so stunning?"
"That's not what you said. You are the company commander's wife. You are representing Lao Zhou's reputation when you go out. Not only him, but also the reputation of our Jing City. You can't fool around like before."
Jiang Qingyue had no choice but to agree, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qingyue thought about it.
I really stood up, went back to the bedroom and opened the closet.
I took out all the summer clothes that I had randomly packed together.
After looking for a long time, she finally took out a white shirt and a red and white plaid skirt.
After putting it on, I looked in the mirror.
It didn't seem as exaggerated as I had imagined, so I decided to wear it like this.
Then I washed my hair, let it dry, and tied it up.
As for shoes, I was in a hurry when I came here, so I only brought two pairs for replacement.
However, Zhou Zhengting bought her two pairs of sandals in the past two days.
It is said that the island is hot and stuffy, so wearing sandals is more breathable and comfortable.
Jiang Qingyue took a look and chose a pair of white sandals with slightly heels.
After I finished packing, I was just thinking about going out early.
Then I saw Xiao Zhao standing downstairs waiting.
Seeing Jiang Qingyue coming out, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Captain Zhou asked me to wait for you here and take you to the meeting hall."
Jiang Qingyue smiled politely, "Have you been waiting for a while? Why didn't you go up and call me?"
Xiao Zhao chuckled and said, "The company commander didn't let me disturb your lunch break. It's okay. I just got here not long ago!"
Jiang Qingyue nodded slightly, "Let's go!"
When Jiang Qingyue followed Xiao Zhao to the door of the Great Hall, many soldiers and their families came over.
Many of them knew Jiang Qingyue.
However, the first time I saw her wearing a skirt and sandals, I couldn't help but be amazed.
They all greeted her with a smile.
Jiang Qingyue is not familiar with the people here and can't remember many of their names.
I could only smile and nod in response.
At the same time, he walked quickly into the synagogue.
Following the direction of Xiao Zhao's finger, Jiang Qingyue saw the seat Zhou Zhengting reserved for her.
Right in the middle of the front rows.
When I got there, I realized that there were many older ladies from the family compound around me.
When everyone saw Jiang Qingyue, they all stood up and greeted her, "Comrade Jiang, you look so beautiful today. When I walked in just now, I was wondering which celebrity you were, but I didn't recognize you at first."
"Yeah, where did you buy this skirt? Why don't I see it sold on the island?"
Jiang Qingyue could only smile and respond, "I bought it from Beijing. If you like it, I'll bring it to you next time I come back."
"That's great! Is it too much trouble?"
"It's not a big deal. Just a few pieces of clothing. They don't take up much space."
"Well, I won't be polite. Please help me get one when the time comes. How much will I give you?"
"Don't worry, bring it back first."
"I want one too..."
Just because of a skirt, the older sisters, led by Jiang Qingyue, were so excited that they all vied to get one.
Fortunately, the commendation meeting started soon and everyone quickly fell silent and sat down.
At the beginning of the meeting, the political commissar, as the leader, gave a speech first.
The medal of honor was then presented.
Among the several soldiers who were awarded medals, Zhou Zhengting stood in the middle, making it hard for people not to salute.
Jiang Qingyue looked at Zhou Zhengting standing under the spotlight, and a feeling of pride suddenly surged in her heart.
Before presenting the medal and leaving the stage, Zhou Zhengting glanced in her direction.
Their eyes met and he grinned at her.
Seeing this, several older sisters nearby couldn't help but laugh and joke in a low voice.
After awarding the medals, the next thing to come was the representative’s speech.
Zhou Zhengting did not tell Jiang Qingyue in advance that he would be giving a speech on stage.
So Jiang Qingyue had no idea about it.
It was not until his familiar figure stood on the stage again that Jiang Qingyue found out and was also very surprised.
When they were together in private, Zhou Zhengting was always the more cheerful and outgoing one than himself.
Sometimes, in order to amuse ourselves, we may appear to be unruly.
But Zhou Zhengting, standing on the stage at this moment, was completely different from the image that Jiang Qingyue had in the past. He looked exceptionally mature and serious.
The content of the speech was also of very high quality.
Jiang Qingyue was a little surprised when she suddenly discovered this side of him that he had inadvertently revealed.
It was also the first time that I had a new understanding of Zhou Zhengting.
As she watched, Jiang Qingyue suddenly felt that everything around her seemed to have disappeared.
The only thing left in the world was the person on the stage and his voice that echoed in my mind.
Unconsciously, Jiang Qingyue's emotions were also aroused by his tone.
It seems that I have a new understanding of him.
