264: The Secret Rumor of Director Zhou
Zhou Ziheng recovered from his injuries in the hospital and returned to the front line as soon as he recovered. He stayed in the combat unit until the end of the war and was then withdrawn from the front line.
After the war, Zhou Ziheng's old injury flared up, and his left leg became painful and weak, forcing him to rely on crutches to walk.
He was transferred to the military district hospital for examination, where it was found that there was still shrapnel in his thigh from a previous injury. He underwent surgery to remove the shrapnel, and his injury was completely healed.
When he was having the operation, he had already thought about changing his career.
After the operation was completed, I applied for a career change using this reason.
Before he retired, his superiors in the army tried to keep him, believing that with his background and combat record, he would definitely have a better future in the army, and it would be a pity for him to leave like this.
But Zhou Ziheng was determined to leave and would not change his mind, so his superiors had no choice but to approve it.
As for Zhou Ziheng's work arrangements after his transfer, there were actually many better options at the time, such as staying in Beijing and joining some more important public institutions.
If you are willing to use your family connections, it is not impossible to get into a more important department.
However, Zhou Ziheng was entangled in some troubles at that time and wanted to go farther away and was unwilling to stay in the capital.
At that time, Chen Shukui had already arrived at the Beidahuang Production and Construction Corps and was working in the Political Department of the 1st Division. Knowing that Zhou Ziheng was about to retire, he wrote to him asking if he wanted to come to the Corps to do something.
Although the Corps is not a good place to go, not as good as staying in the army or staying in the capital, it is a place where practical work can be done, which is very suitable for a young and energetic person like Zhou Ziheng.
Moreover, the situation on the border of the Great Northern Wilderness was tense at that time. A battle had just broken out with the Russians, and another battle could break out at any time.
Given the situation at the time, there was indeed a need for capable talents like Zhou Ziheng.
So, after contacting many parties, Zhou Ziheng voluntarily came to the Great Northern Wilderness and was parachuted into the position of general manager of Mishan Farm.
Liang Qin did not tell the girls in the propaganda team about these more private matters.
Liang Qin only talked about the experience of Chen Shukui and Zhou Ziheng being injured while fighting on the front line, as well as what Liang Qin saw and heard when she was taking care of the two wounded soldiers in the hospital.
The girls' blood boiled as they listened, and some of them who were sensitive to tears were already wiping away tears quietly.
“They’re all amazing!”
"Sister Liang, your husband and Director Zhou are both heroes!"
Liang Qin pulled herself back from her memories, sighed softly and said:
"Thinking about it now, it seems like those things happened in a lifetime ago, but in fact, it was only a few years ago."
Xiang Xuemei rubbed her sore nose and asked the question that concerned her most:
"Sister Liang, why hasn't a war hero like Chief Zhou gotten married? I heard he's still single."
Liang Qin was feeling quite sad, but was suddenly amused by the word "bachelor" that Xiang Xuemei said:
"I don't know about that."
The female educated youth named Lin Qiushan asked:
"No one introduced him to someone?"
Xia Ning rolled her eyes at Lin Qiushan:
"How could a hero like Director Zhou not have someone to introduce him to? You can tell it's impossible even with your toes!"
Chen Ci, who is usually not very talkative, said:
"That's because I haven't met the right person. I've been stuck between high and low, so I've been delayed."
Liang Qin shook her head slightly:
"It's not a matter of being neither too high nor too low. Maybe he hasn't met someone he likes. He's a serious person and doesn't want to settle."
As she said this, Liang Qin glanced at Yu Xiaoye and saw that Yu Xiaoye was sitting on the edge of the stage, holding a glass in his hand and listening to her attentively.
Like the other girls, Yu Xiaoye's face was full of curiosity and admiration, but she never spoke or asked any questions.
It was as if Zhou Ziheng’s affairs had nothing to do with her directly.
Liang Qin vaguely understood why Zhou Ziheng had just been so resentful and said that Yu Xiaoye was heartless.
This silly girl is so smart and insightful in other things, but so dull in emotions.
Liang Qin was really curious about what kind of family could raise such a smart yet simple girl.
Xiang Xuemei said with great regret:
"I don't know what kind of woman is worthy of a man like Director Zhou. It would be such a shame if he still refuses to compromise!"
Yu Xiaoye, who had been silent the whole time, saw that everyone was guessing but couldn't figure out the key point, so he finally couldn't help but speak:
"Perhaps, Director Zhou has another hidden reason, and that is he just doesn't want to get married?"
As soon as she spoke, everyone, including Liang Qin, looked at her.
Shao Xia asked:
"What's the secret?"
Yu Xiaoye was thinking about what Jia Song had told her before, that Director Zhou was injured that year and had problems with that aspect.
If you are not good in that aspect, why get married?
Isn’t that a scam?
Director Zhou is an upright and kind-hearted man. He is unwilling to do such immoral things, so he did not get married.
But this is a secret, and you absolutely, absolutely, absolutely cannot tell anyone!
Even if Yu Xiaoye had a hundred courages, she wouldn't dare reveal a single word, so she shook her head in bewilderment.
"I don't know either. I'm just guessing."
Liang Qin finally waited until Yu Xiaoye spoke, and without letting her go easily, she asked:
"Why do you think he's not getting married because he has something to hide, rather than because he hasn't met someone he likes?"
Yu Xiaoye had never thought about such a profound question. She knew nothing about these things about love and affection, and she didn't want to understand them, so she shook her head and said:
"I don't know, I just feel that way."
Liang Qin smiled:
"Sometimes your feelings are inaccurate. If you don't really understand the person, it's not good to arbitrarily say something about him. You have to understand him first before you are qualified to judge him."
Xia Ning interrupted and said:
"Even if she wanted to get to know the director, she didn't have the chance!"
The two female educated youth who were with Xia Ning
The child laughed.
Yu Xiaoye glared at Xia Ning and retorted directly:
"Don't worry, if I want to understand him, I have more opportunities than you!"
"Stop bragging. What chance do you have?"
"I'm telling you, are you willing to follow me? I won't tell you! I'll make you anxious to death!"
"you----"
This time it was the other female educated youth who laughed. The captain's eloquence was still as fluent as ever!
Seeing that Xia Ning was about to explode with anger, Liang Qin quickly stopped her:
"Okay, stop arguing and continue rehearsing!"
Liang Qin raised her wrist to look at her watch again and was surprised to find that almost an hour had passed!
She quickly put down the kettle in her hand and said loudly:
"Come on, we can't waste any more time, hurry up!"
The girls put down their cups of water, returned to the stage and continued rehearsing the chorus.
Xia Ning was probably used to losing at the hands of Yu Xiaoye, so she gritted her teeth, didn't pursue the matter any further, and returned to her position.
Nine girls stood in a row.
Shao Xia picked up the accordion again.
Liang Qin stood in front and clapped her hands.
The chorus piece is "Workers and Peasants Are One Family":
Brothers, workers and peasants, we are one family.
We are all from the same root, and we are all suffering people.
Workers and peasants are of the same root. Workers and peasants are of the same root.
The houses we build, the crops we grow,
The landlords and compradors are black-hearted.
They exploited us completely.
Hatred fills my chest, anger burns high,
Smash the old world.
Only then can you be liberated.
Only by completely smashing the old world can we be liberated——
