During the days that Jiang Yun was studying, she knew that several people had been secretly observing her.
Mo Xiaohui is one of them.
The others, apart from Fang Zheng who was there "to help his comrades improve," were simply curious.
Anyway, three women make a drama, and once they leave the company commander and instructor's nose, they are bound to chat about gossip.
So many things happened during the days she was in the recruit company, and she didn't know what these people were saying about her behind her back.
In front of everyone, Jiang Yun deliberately put the men's military cap that had just been taken off and Chen Yuanwu's shirt together and put them in the small compartment of the bedside table.
She quickly opened the backpack strap, shook out the military quilt and removed the quilt cover, then took out all the toiletries in the bag and put them into the washbasin, ready to wait for He Xiangdong to finish his performance so that they could go wash up together.
Mo Xiaohui came over and took the initiative to talk to her: "Second squad leader, you just came back wearing a men's military cap. It looks quite handsome. I think it looks better than a women's hat."
The first thing Jiang Yun did when she returned to the barracks was to get some massage oil from the medical soldier Mu Ke, and then she went to get a new military cap. As for the men's military cap she had brought back from the communications company, Lin Anping said he would give it to her, asking her to keep it as a souvenir and not forget the friendship of the communications company.
She walked around the recruit camp in a men's military cap, and almost everyone saw her.
What was Mo Xiaohui's intention in asking this question? Did she want her to take out her military cap and show it to everyone? Or did she want to take the opportunity to see the man's shirt?
Hehe, there is no Chen Yuanwu's name on the collar of the shirt, but she embroidered the first letters of Chen Yuanwu's pinyin on the corner of the shirt with cotton thread, in fancy English handwriting.
Well, she admitted that her mind was a little dark, and she actually had the latter idea.
Ever since she learned that Mo Xiaohui had lived in the Chen family for several years, she guessed that Mo Xiaohui liked Chen Yuanwu.
A Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu-style love story, a Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying-style love story, and all the bloody romance scripts I saw on Jiang Jiangheng's crew—the plots were all similar: living under someone else's roof, then falling in love with the host's son or daughter, and having all sorts of secret crushes and infidelities...
However, judging from Mo Xiaohui's behavior, she is probably still in the secret crush stage.
If it comes to the stage of cheating, humph, she will never forgive Chen Yuanwu!
"Men's military caps do have one advantage: they don't blind you in the sun, and they're not easily blown away by the wind!" Jiang Jun looked at Mo Xiaohui's demure appearance. She truly possessed a ladylike temperament rarely seen in this era, but a small sour feeling welled up in his heart. "I've always liked men's military caps. I used to secretly wear my dad's at home. What about you?"
Mo Xiaohui smiled slightly: "So you are so naughty."
The tone was like an adult pampering a naughty child at home.
Jiang Jun's scalp tingled at this. They didn't seem that familiar with each other! What had she been doing earlier? She'd been pretending not to know her, but now she was trying to get closer? Or...?
Jiang Jun simply met Mo Xiaohui's gaze. "Kids, aren't they all like that? The kids from the neighborhood will even steal food from home! The adults buy candies, pies, red dates, persimmons, and other snacks, and the kids, because they're greedy, will steal some to eat. Squad Leader, have you ever stolen food?"
Mo Xiaohui was slightly stunned. "There are always snacks at home. We eat some biscuits, fruits and the like at regular intervals every day. Sometimes I get tired of snacks and don't even want to eat, but I still have to bite the bullet and eat."
The Chen family's living conditions are very good, and Ye Qingyin has the habit of drinking afternoon tea and eating snacks. Every Sunday afternoon is the fixed time for the Chen family to drink afternoon tea. Sometimes they make it at home, and occasionally they go out to a Western restaurant for it.
Jiang Jun felt a little jealous after hearing this: "Your family is so well off? No wonder you don't have to cheat."
The pun "stealing food" is southern slang, which Mo Xiaohui didn't understand at all: "Anyway, since I was a child, neither have I heard of my neighbors or my classmates stealing food from home."
The supplies in the capital are relatively abundant, and they are also supplied with tickets. There are many kinds of items that can be purchased. Mo Xiaohui has always been treated preferentially in the Chen family.
Besides, "stealing" is a bad behavior at all. It is not allowed to touch it. Eavesdropping and peeping are all denounced by Ye Qingyin as shameful. How could a good girl like her do such a stupid thing?
Whether intentional or not, Jiang Jun was very satisfied with this answer: "Squad Leader, do you want to try on the men's military cap (that I brought back)?"
Mo Xiaohui blushed and shook her head to refuse: "That's your honor, I'll just take a look."
Finally, we have brought the topic to the point.
Jiang Jun jumped down and was about to open the cabinet. Just then, He Xiangdong finished reciting a poem. The female soldiers applauded and cheered, shouting, "It's so beautiful. Please sing another one."
Mo Xiaohui turned her head and looked over, still smiling: "You have changed a lot this time, you are different from when you first came."
Jiang Jun stopped laughing: "You too, you weren't like this when you first came here."
She didn't dislike Mo Xiaohui's low-key sense of superiority in life, but she disliked the way Mo Xiaohui always spoke as if she were a senior.
Mo Xiaohui saw Jiang Jun's unfriendly attitude and couldn't say what she wanted to say, so she had to make small talk: "Second squad leader, you and He Xiangdong should pack up quickly, we will be gathering soon." Then she fled in panic.
Jiang Jun smiled triumphantly and called He Xiangdong: "I want to go wash up quickly, otherwise I won't have a blanket to cover myself with at night."
The bad thing about returning to the barracks is that I can only sleep by myself. I wonder if I will wake up from the cold at night?
He Xiangdong received two more bars of soap from the communications company and was about to start scrubbing. "I need to take off my shirt and jacket and wash them. Xiaojun, you should change too?"
After being away for a few days, the way we addressed each other became intimate again. When I returned to the recruit camp, I forgot to change my way of addressing him for a while.
Jiang Jun led the way out. "The captain will blow the whistle soon. I'll be in trouble if I'm only halfway through washing."
Qi Jiaping wanted to go along as usual and listen in: "I'll go too. You guys wash your hair and I'll help you wash your quilts. That way we'll have enough time."
As soon as they left, the dormitory became lively again, with the sound of chattering:
"He Xiangdong used to be quite shy, but this time he recited poetry beautifully."
"He has made great achievements, so he must be more courageous."
"If I had known this, I would have signed up for the Communications Company."
"They are even darker than when I left."
"He's done a great job. If we go to the military base, the second squad leader will definitely be the squad leader. He Xiangdong..."
"Shh..."
“…”
Speaking of a sensitive topic, according to their reasoning, if one can become a squad leader after making meritorious service, then He Xiangdong will be the squad leader. Then what will the squad leader do?
