Mo Xiaohui has been an obedient and good child since she was young.
She is diligent, self-disciplined and willing to work hard.
She believes that diligence can make up for lack of talent, and strives to do her best in everything she does in order to gain the approval of her parents and praise from her teachers.
During the years she lived in the Chen family in Beijing, under the influence of Ye Qingyin, she learned to pursue perfection.
Because Ye Qingyin was busy with work, the Chen family always hired a nanny to cook, wash clothes and mop the floor.
Mo Xiaohui did not think of herself as a rich lady because of this. She still insisted on taking care of her room, learning to cook Western food with Ye Qingyin, and carefully trying to please Ye Qingyin, just to make people praise her as "a sensible and good child."
And she really did it.
Everyone in the Chen family likes her, and everyone treats her as a member of the family. Ye Qingyin tells her her true feelings like a daughter, and Chen Jing tells her little secrets like a sister.
In front of her, there was nothing in the Chen family that she couldn't know.
Sometimes Ye Qingyin has to attend meetings or go out on weekends and is not available at home. Mo Xiaohui will learn from Ye Qingyin's habits and cook dishes that the whole family likes with the nanny Aunt Liu.
After living in the Chen family for a few years, Mo Xiaohui gradually began to regard herself as a member of the Chen family.
It was not until two years ago that Chen Zhong was transferred to the Ace Field Division as the division commander and brought his entire family to join the army.
Mo Xiaohui's father, Mo Kaifeng, was transferred to the Guicheng Army Academy as the political commissar. His whereabouts were stable, so Mo Xiaohui left the Chen family and returned to her parents.
Before parting, Mo Xiaohui said goodbye to the Chen family reluctantly and said with red eyes that she would definitely come back to see everyone.
Originally, she had already regarded the Chen family as her second home.
Aunt Liu has always been particularly fond of Mo Xiaohui. Wiping away her tears, she said, "It's thousands of kilometers away. I heard it takes ten days to travel by car. It's not easy to leave. By the time you remember to come and see us, you might be married and have a baby."
Mo Xiaohui was only fifteen years old at the time. She was stunned by Aunt Liu's words, and then her face turned red with shame, and she couldn't even lift her head.
Ye Qingyin comforted Mo Xiaohui and said, "Xiaohui, I don't want you to marry far away. When you marry to Beijing in the future, Aunt Ye will help you find a good partner."
People in this era are committed to keeping their words and what they say is a promise.
Once, Ye Qingyin's colleague visited the Chen family and saw that Mo Xiaohui looked different from the Chen family's children. He joked privately: "Such a well-behaved and beautiful girl, I thought she was your family's child bride."
Ye Qingyin still laughed and replied: "This child is filial and capable, I think so."
To children, everything adults say is true.
Mo Xiaohui subconsciously thought that the person Ye Qingyin was looking for for her was Chen Yuanwu, and that if she married into the capital, she would be marrying into the Chen family.
Of course she is willing!
In Guicheng, she lived with her biological parents and there was still a period of adjustment. During that period, what she missed most was her life in the capital.
Because of Aunt Liu's unintentional words and Ye Qingyin's unintentional joke, Mo Xiaohui's girlish heart began to stir.
Before she grew up to the marriageable age, before the two families' parents mentioned the idea of becoming in-laws, her life had just begun to look forward to, but Jiang Jun suddenly appeared and woke her up from her beautiful dream.
At noon, the company commander Tan Lujin called Mo Xiaohui for a talk and said that she and Jiang Jun would serve as squad leaders of the female soldiers respectively, and asked her to take the lead and be a role model for all female soldiers.
The instructor encouraged her and said that the two squad leaders should work hand in hand, cooperate sincerely and make progress together.
Mo Xiaohui is very willing to be the class monitor and believes that she has the ability and qualifications.
But among the other female soldiers, there were those aged from fourteen to eighteen. She was a little confused as to why the company commander did not choose an older one as squad leader but chose Jiang Jun instead.
She had already considered Jiang Jun an imaginary enemy. How could she cooperate with an enemy? She was absolutely unwilling to cooperate with Jiang Jun.
However, facing the company commander's trusting gaze, Mo Xiaohui seemed to have taken on a heavy burden: "Yes!"
If she was the class monitor and Jiang Yun was not, she could still be in a position to help Jiang Yun.
Now standing face to face, Jiang Jun's calmness made Mo Xiaohui feel even more pressured.
Ignoring Jiang Jun's glare, Mo Xiaohui turned her head slightly, looked at the red bricks under her feet, and explained, "It's not that I don't want to write, it's just that I have a headache after training today."
Jiang Jun understood that anyone who had been sitting in a car for ten days and then immediately went back to training would not be able to keep up with the physical strength. "Squad Leader, then you should rest early. You will be more energetic after getting enough sleep. We can talk about anything tomorrow."
Changes in regional latitude and time differences caused by traveling will interfere with people's established biological clocks. This is why many people suffer from acclimatization problems.
Mo Xiaohui was a little uncomfortable with Jiang Jun's reasonableness. Why was his character different from what the company commander described? "Then I'll go back to the dormitory first."
If she stood there for a while longer, she might not be able to help but ask Jiang Jun, "Do you know Chen Yuanwu?"
When Chen Zhong became a division commander, Chen Yuanwu did not follow him, but stayed in Beijing to study alone. He was taken care of by Aunt Liu for a year until he was admitted to university.
Mo Xiaohui took the opportunity to deliver the test papers to stay in the compound for three days, and there was almost no other person coming and going in front of the Chen family's door.
She couldn't understand how Jiang Jun had the chance to meet Chen Yuanwu.
Lying on the bed, Mo Xiaohui's mind was filled with Chen Yuanwu's smiling face and Jiang Jun's wide-open eyes, which made her upset and unable to sleep.
Fortunately, she knew Chen Yuefei was also in the recruit company. If she had the chance, she could find Chen Yuefei and ask him what was going on. However, she didn't want anyone to know about her relationship with the Chen family yet. She even told Chen Yuefei on the phone that in the army, when there were other people around, it would be best for the two of them not to recognize each other and just treat each other as normal comrades.
The female soldiers in Class 1 saw that their squad leader looked unhappy and went to bed early. They didn't dare to say anything more and were all thinking about their own things.
Qian Hong, who had to tidy up the room early the next morning, had no confidence in her ability to fold the quilts for everyone in the class, for fear that she would make more mistakes the more nervous she was.
Just then, Wang Juan ran over and asked, "Qian Hong, how are you? Are you sure? If you're not sure, get up and practice. Otherwise, if you don't do it well tomorrow morning, we'll all be punished with you!"
Qi Jiaping, who was sleeping next to Qian Hong, looked at Wang Juan helplessly, put down the letter in his hand, and whispered to her, "Qian Hong, it's okay. You folded your quilt so well, you will definitely be able to fold it by tomorrow morning."
One was threatening with good intentions, the other was comforting with good intentions, which made Qian Hong even more nervous.
