When Mo Xiaohui was washing the rice bowl after dinner, she happened to see He Xiangdong washing socks and politely said, "Why are you washing two pairs of socks?"
He Xiangdong smiled and said, "We'll take turns washing. Tomorrow Jiang Yun will wash me."
Mo Xiaohui's heart skipped a beat. There definitely wouldn't be another Jiang Jun. "You two have such a good relationship!"
He Xiangdong was a little proud: "That's right! We are Jiang He sisters!"
Among so many classmates, Jiang Yun had only visited her home, and her mother Bai Xiuzhen had only praised Jiang Yun as a good child worthy of making friends.
Mo Xiaohui asked tentatively, "What's your name?"
He Xiangdong really appreciated Mo Xiaohui's self-introduction, so he said frankly, "My name is He Xiangdong. Jiang Jun is the Jiang in Jianghe, and Jun is the Jun in Jiangjie. It was originally pronounced Yun, but everyone thought calling me Jiangjun sounded better, so that's how it's been called."
While washing dishes, from the sink to the dormitory, Mo Xiaohui found out that Jiang Jun was just fifteen years old and was a classmate of He Xiangdong. There was also a girl named Wang Aiping who came with them and slept near the door.
After entering the dormitory, Mo Xiaohui suppressed her nervousness and used the excuse of tidying up the bed to control herself from rushing forward to look at Jiang Jun.
From her family background to her education, and her upbringing, she was not allowed to go over and demonstrate.
Mo Xiaohui comforted herself that Jiang Jun was just a fifteen-year-old middle school student. It was okay for him to know Yue Fei, but it was unlikely that he knew Xiao Wu.
Just as he was absent-mindedly thinking about this and that, he accidentally caught a glimpse of He Xiangdong and Jiang Jun huddled together, talking and laughing. Subconsciously, he thought they were talking about him, and he became nervous again, and automatically ignored Wang Aiping's questions.
He Xiangdong took Jiang Yun to the restroom. As they passed by the door, he smiled at Mo Xiaohui in a friendly manner and introduced her, "This is Jiang Yun!"
Jiang Jun was suddenly pushed out by He Xiangdong and had no choice but to nod to Mo Xiaohui.
Mo Xiaohui mustered up the courage to look at Jiang Jun, smiled gently, and her eyes met Jiang Jun's, with a slight flash.
This subtle change did not escape Jiang Jun's attention.
Jiang Jun left the dormitory with a faint smile on his face, but in his heart he was wondering why Mo Xiaohui had such a hint of hostility.
Walking into the yard, I saw the sunset in the sky with dazzling colors. The evening breeze was blowing gently. Before it got dark, I could see the stars in the Milky Way.
The desolation of the desert makes the sky look even more dreamy.
The further into the summer you get, the longer the daylight hours become.
Another month later, Jiang Jun looked at a star visible to the naked eye in the sky and thought happily that perhaps there would be day nights here too.
"It's so beautiful!" The heavenly feeling made Jiang Jun forget his previous unhappiness. He pointed to two stars in the sky that looked very close, but were actually dozens of light years apart. "To the east, if you get lost in the grassland without a compass, just look for these two stars."
Wang Juan was surprised to hear Jiang Jun's words. She also stood up and looked up. "What if it's cloudy, blocking out the stars, with no sun or moon, and it's raining heavily? What should we do?"
Jiang Jun looked at Wang Juan speechlessly. This must be the legendary King of the Silent Scene. Is this how you chat? "Wang Juan, I suggest you put down roots where you are, bathe in the rain and dew, thrive, and bear fruit!"
He Xiangdong wanted to laugh, but when he saw the company commander and the instructor in the distance, he quickly covered his mouth and laughed softly, "Wang Juan, you're really too extreme to ask such a question!"
Wang Juan asked in surprise, "How do I ask that?"
He Xiangdong covered his mouth and laughed for a while, then put his hand down and demonstrated: "Really? Then what are the names of these two stars? There are so many stars in the sky, how can I be sure that these are the two stars I see?"
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yun and both of them laughed.
Asking and answering questions to continuously expand the scope of the questions is what chatting is all about! It doesn’t matter if the conversation goes off topic.
Wang Juan laughed sheepishly, "No wonder you two keep talking all day long. If you keep asking questions like this, there's always something to talk about."
Jiang Jun had lost interest in gazing at the stars. "Wang Juan, can you start a prairie fire after reciting Sparks of Fire?"
Wang Juan slapped her head and said, "Oh, not yet. The instructor will come for a spot check tomorrow morning. What should I do? I have to go and memorize the lessons quickly. I'm leaving now!"
Watching Wang Juan quickly run back to the dormitory, Jiang Jun turned around and smiled, "Hey, there's no need to talk too much if we don't get along. Xiangdong, that Mo Xiaohui just now, I think she looks older than us, and seems even more mature than Zhang Jie. You said she came several days late, and she was on the road alone and took the train for so many days, how scary!"
He Xiangdong absolutely agreed: "That's right. If I encountered a landslide, I would definitely turn around and go home. Unless you are here, Xiaojun, I won't be afraid."
Jiang Jun recalled the hostility he had felt before leaving. "Why would Mo Xiaohui, whose home is so far away, come here to join the army?"
He Xiangdong unconsciously stretched out his arm to hug Jiang Yun's shoulders again, muttering, "Yes, she also asked where we were from. Why didn't I think of asking her where she was from?"
Jiang Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I just got here and haven't even warmed up to the kang yet, and you're already exposing our secrets?"
He Xiangdong made a frustrated expression. "Aren't we going to elect a squad leader in a couple of days? I'm just trying to build good relationships with the people and get them to vote for you. She's new here and doesn't understand the situation, so she's easy to win over."
"I'm not going to be a squad leader!" Jiang Jun waved his hand, "Don't worry about it."
The two of them were talking animatedly and didn't move for a long time.
Tan Lujin saw them from afar, arm in arm again, and shouted, "Jiang Jun, He Xiangdong, stay where you are! Stand still! Attention!"
This roar frightened He Xiangdong so much that he quickly lowered his arm. He was really upset: "Oh, the company commander saw me again. What bad luck!"
Tan Lujin strode closer and said, "What's wrong with you? You're flirting with me! Stand at attention for sixty minutes. Start!"
So cruel!
Tan Lujin actually stood next to Jiang Jun and He Xiangdong and watched them stand as punishment!
Standing at attention looks very simple, but it actually tests one's patience.
Damn it, Jiang Jun felt like a thousand alpaca horses were running wildly in his heart.
She didn't know how she had offended Tan Lujin. He had disliked her since the first day she came in, no, from the first time he saw her at the county train station.
Also, doesn't this person know what friendship is? What does "flirting" mean? Flirting isn't used with people of the same sex, but with people of the opposite sex, you know?
Jiang Yun also got angry.
Her eyes were fixed on the wall in front of her, but her full attention was on Tan Lujin on the right.
She wanted to see where Tan Lujin's hostility came from!
Why are the words of criticism she uses so harshly?
