Chapter 241 Invitation to Enlist (Edited)
When the people present heard this, their expressions changed.
The three examiners were even more terrified. Although it was the first time they dealt with Luo Xinghai, they had heard about Luo Xinghai's deeds a long time ago. He was a typical smiling tiger, who protected his shortcomings, was serious, stingy, petty, and even cruel and ruthless.
It is said that he began to be in charge of interrogation work when he was less than 20 years old. If an enemy spy fell into his hands, he would not even be qualified to die unless he spit out some useful information.
If they tampered with the assessment of the Nanping Military Region Health Hospital today, they would be touching Luo Xinghai's bottom line.
I really can't imagine how he would deal with them.
Luo Xinghai seemed not to notice their strange behavior and continued, "The last time the news about the hemostatic drug was leaked from the hospital, and now this has happened again, their hospital really needs to be cleaned up."
Elder Kang nodded: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. You must handle it well. Comrade Xiao has come all the way here to sign up for the assessment. We can't let him suffer any injustice."
Luo Xinghai hummed: "Don't worry."
Since Guo Zhiqing has passed the assessment, he is a member of the Health Institute, and the Health Institute is located in their Nanping Military Region, so they are a family.
How can I remain indifferent when someone in my family is being bullied?
The truth is on their side, so there is no room for compromise.
Guo Hongying looked at Elder Kang, then at Chief Luo, and thought to herself: With such a leader, I suddenly feel full of confidence in the future.
After Luo Xinghai, the three examiners and the other candidates who looked ashen left, Elder Kang looked at the guard beside him and asked, "Did you tell Jinwen about the leader of the first group?"
The guard nodded repeatedly: "I've already said that."
Elder Kang nodded and said, "Tell him not to worry and go ahead with the investigation. If anyone obstructs, just tell me."
When the organization asked him to come to Nanping to set up a military region, he agreed without hesitation and only made three requests. The first one was to bring Shen Jinwen and Luo Xinghai to his side.
These two people seem to be gentle and refined, but in fact they are very efficient and ruthless in their work, and they hate conspiracy and intrigue the most.
The second request was to bring Huo Lanci's troops under his command and have them obey his orders directly.
Of course, he also realized that his superiors had intended to have Huo Lanci serve under him from the beginning, and he asked that question just to go with the flow.
Huo Lanci and his group were a sharp knife in his military region.
The third requirement is that no one can get involved in the Nanping Military Region. He will do everything he can to complete the tasks assigned by the organization, but on weekdays, those with ulterior motives should keep their distance.
So, no matter who comes today, we will check what needs to be checked, and clean up what needs to be cleaned up.
After Mr. Kang finished speaking, he also left the health center.
When Yu Wanqing and Guo Hongying walked out of the hospital gate, they saw Chu Ming and Huo Lanci waiting outside.
Chu Ming almost had the word "worry" carved on his forehead. He looked at Guo Hongying and asked cautiously, "Are you okay?"
He had already heard that Hongying was not on the list, and he also knew that there would be a re-assessment tonight.
He and the boss have been waiting here for more than an hour, and no one dared to go in and disturb them.
Seeing him like this, Guo Hongying couldn't help but laugh: "It's okay, the results have been achieved. I got first place and will soon become a nurse at the Nanping Military Region Health Hospital."
"That's great." Chu Ming was very excited after hearing this.
Although he had imagined countless times the scene where Hongying really stayed, when the day finally came, he still felt that happiness came unexpectedly.
The next day at noon, Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci went to Mr. Kang's house together.
Mr. Kang's home is a bungalow with a yard, and its layout is similar to Huo Lanci's home. In addition to Mr. Kang, there are also guards who take care of and protect Mr. Kang.
When the two arrived at Kang's house, Mr. Kang was cooking in the kitchen. When he saw Yu Wanqing, he was very happy: "Xiaowu is here, we can eat soon."
As for Huo Lanci?
Didn't see it.
Huo Lanci had long been accustomed to being completely ignored wherever Yu Xiaowu appeared.
I thought Mr. Kang would completely ignore him, but he heard his voice: "Ah Ci, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and take Xiao Wu to wash his hands. It's time to eat."
"You've come here several times, do you still need me to tell you where to wash your hands?"
Huo Lanci laughed: "No, no, no, I don't need you to tell me where to go. I'll take Xiaowu to wash his hands now."
Walking to the well outside the courtyard, Huo Lanci whispered to Yu Wanqing, "We will have a daughter in the future."
Yu Wanqing tilted her head and stared at him in confusion: "You favor girls over boys?"
"No, it's all the same to me. I find that daughters are more attractive to the elders in the family." Huo Lanci fetched a basin of water and began to talk about his niece: "After my eldest sister-in-law married into the family, my brother and I had to stand aside. Of course, my mother would occasionally remember that she gave birth to two sons."
"When my niece was born, she was the most important to my grandpa and parents, followed by my eldest sister-in-law. My eldest brother and I were literally picked up by them."
What is status?
Does he have it with his elder brother?
The eldest brother is better, he is obedient and sensible, and he will pretend to be nice in front of the elders. But he has been known for his sharp tongue and mischievousness since he was a child, and he has become the biggest source of complaints for his parents.
Yu Wanqing couldn't help but laugh: "This is not something you and I can control."
"Besides, you haven't even asked for my parents' consent, so there's no time frame for marriage. We can talk about other things later."
Huo Lanci laughed: "I almost forgot to tell you that I called my uncle and aunt yesterday, and they have agreed that we can get the marriage certificate after the New Year."
"The premise is that we have to go back to Shangyang first to meet our parents."
Yu Wanqing was a little surprised: "My parents are relenting now?"
She washed her hands, stood up, and said in disbelief: "Come on, tell me how you coaxed my parents."
Huo Lanci smiled and held her wrist, then walked into the house: "I used my understanding and reason to persuade them, and then my uncle and aunt were moved by me and readily agreed to marry their daughter, Comrade Yu Wanqing, to me."
Yu Wanqing chuckled twice and no longer believed what the man said. He must have said something to move the two elders, so they agreed to the marriage.
"If you don't tell me now, it will be the same if I go back and ask my parents."
Huo Lanci looked at her back as she entered the living room and chuckled. It was useless to ask. He just talked seriously with his uncle and aunt for a while, and then he got the answer he wanted.
It’s really not as much as Wanqing thinks. Why doesn’t she believe in herself?
For this meal, Mr. Kang only invited Huo Lanci and Wanqing. He went into the kitchen and prepared one meat, two vegetable dishes and one soup.
Elder Kang smiled and looked at Yu Wanqing: "Xiaowu, come and try my cooking skills."
Yu Wanqing ate a piece of braised pork, and then her eyes lit up. She raised her thumb and said, "I can't cook braised pork like this."
Yu Wanqing was telling the truth. The braised pork made by Mr. Kang was the best braised pork she had ever eaten.
Yu Wanqing felt that she was in for a treat.
Mr. Kang laughed and said, "I used this dish of braised pork to coax my wife into marrying me."
"Back then, in order to pursue her, I spent a lot of time thinking about how to make the most delicious braised pork."
Talking about the past, Kang Lao smiled faintly: "In my entire life, this is the only dish I have never failed to cook."
He cooked this dish for his wife for decades, before and after their marriage.
The cooking methods are ingrained in our memory and we will never forget them, and the food will never taste bad.
Yu Wanqing never expected that there was a love story behind the braised pork.
Knowing that Mr. Kang had been making braised pork for his wife for decades, Yu Wanqing felt that Mr. Kang was happy. In that war-torn era, being able to make braised pork for his wife for decades proved that everyone was living a good life.
With faith and the company of love, there is sweetness in the bitterness.
Elder Kang looked at Huo Lanci and Yu Wanqing and asked, "When do you two plan to get married?"
Huo Lanci quickly said, "Let's go get the certificate after the New Year."
Only then did Old Kang nod his head in satisfaction. He was afraid that Huo Lanci would make trouble again and do something to let Xiaowu down.
They watched these two people come together and still hoped that they could get married, have children, and live happily.
Huo Lanci said: "I finally managed to get the uncle and aunt of the Yu family to agree to let me marry Xiaowu. I was really excited that night."
Elder Kang gave Huo Lanci a look of disdain: "Isn't this the way it should be? Do you really think it's so easy to marry someone else's child?"
"When you become a father, you will understand that in the eyes of the father-in-law, the son-in-law is just a cripple."
Old Kang snorted. If it was his own daughter, this guy would never marry his child so easily.
Comrades Yu Zhian and Xiulan were too easy to talk to. They let this guy kidnap their daughter so easily.
Huo Lanci had not yet married Wan Qing, but a picture flashed through his mind: a little girl who looked like Wan Qing was led away by the hand by a sneaky boy, who turned around and smiled at him proudly.
Instantly, Huo Lanci felt uncomfortable.
Both Kang Lao and Yu Wanqing stared at Huo Lanci. From his expression, they knew that he was thinking of the scene that Kang Lao described.
Yu Wanqing couldn't help laughing. Old fathers with daughters are afraid of having yellow-haired people around their daughters.
When children are young, you have to prevent them from having premature ejaculation. When they grow up, you have to avoid falling in love too early. As a father, I will always be worried.
I'm looking forward to the scene where Huo Lanci competes with his future son-in-law in a battle of wits and courage.
Huo Lanci took a deep breath and couldn't help looking at Yu Wanqing: "I feel sad."
Elder Kang laughed: "You should understand your future father-in-law and be grateful. Without the Yu family, how could you have such a good daughter-in-law?"
"Don't worry, if I'm not nice to Xiaowu, my parents will break my legs." Huo Lanci thought secretly in his heart: They will definitely say breaking a dog's legs.
Kang Lao was delighted when he heard this: "Not only will your parents break your legs, but I will too."
"The little girl is my savior, just like my granddaughter. Her maternal family includes not only the Yu family, but also me and Fu Henian."
This little girl was a ray of light in their dark years, always warming them and illuminating their world full of demons and monsters.
Lu Jingan once said: Xiaowu is the salvation of my life. If it weren’t for him, I don’t know what I would have done after Mr. Kang died.
In Kang Lao's opinion, Lu Jing'an's wife was beaten to death with clubs, his daughter was forced to jump into the river and her whereabouts are unknown, and his son was sent to work somewhere unknown.
The few people who were sent to the Five-Star Brigade together became the only remaining rationality and kindness in him at that time.
If I had really died at that time, that mad man Lu Jingan would definitely have carried out a crazy revenge.
Huo Lanci suddenly felt a lot of pressure. His target had a strong backing and too many relatives behind him, so he couldn't afford to offend him.
Huo Lanci put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at Elder Kang, and said solemnly: "My life belongs to her and the country."
When Mr. Kang heard this, he was shocked.
Yu Wanqing couldn't help but look at Huo Lanci: "Since you said so, I have to leave you a message. Your life belongs to me and the country. No matter what mission you are on or what happens to you in the future, you must come back safely."
"Even if you are seriously injured, as long as you leave a few breaths for me, I can get you back."
No matter what time it is, as long as you are still alive, I can snatch you back from King Yan.
Huo Lanci was deeply moved when he heard this, and his whole heart felt warm.
When he looked at her, he couldn't hide the tenderness in his eyes.
For a moment, Mr. Kang felt that all the food on the table had no flavor and that he himself was a bit redundant.
Kang Lao said, "Hurry up and eat, or the food will get cold."
After the three of them had their meal, they sat down to drink tea and chat.
Elder Kang suddenly looked at Yu Wanqing: "Wanqing, if I give you a chance to join Aci's team directly, would you be willing?"
Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci were both very surprised. They didn't expect Mr. Kang to ask such a question.
Huo Lanci refused without thinking.
Elder Kang's deep and wise eyes fell on Huo Lanci: "Shut up, I'm not asking you."
"Mr. Kang, she is my partner. I want her to live a good life instead of standing in front and experiencing the wind and rain." It would be better for one of the two people to experience the storm.
Mr. Kang simply ignored Huo Lanci and just looked at Yu Wanqing, waiting for her answer.
Yu Wanqing understood how much Kang Lao and the other elders loved her. Given Kang Lao's character, there was no way they would let her join the army.
She smiled calmly and asked, "Who asked you to ask this question?"
Whose eyes did she catch?
Huo Lanci also came back to his senses. Yes, Mr. Kang loved Wan Qing so much, how could he let her put herself in danger.
He was still too impatient and lost his judgment.
Elder Kang didn't expect that the calmest and most rational person was Xiao Wu. He sighed and said, "It was the No. 2 leader who asked me to ask Xiao Wu for his opinion."
"He already knew that Xiaowu was a student of Chen Jin, that he saved Bian Hanhai, and that the hemostatic medicine and health-preserving pills were made by Xiaowu. He felt that the independent regiment of the Nanping Military Region needed a military doctor like him."
Kang Lao explained: "The second leader just asked me to ask Xiaowu for his opinion. If he refuses, that's fine."
"The second leader said that we cannot force it. Comrade Yu Wanqing's opinion should be the main one."
