Seeing that Lin Qingmei looked unhappy, Xu Zhiwei quickly explained, "Sister Qingmei, I'm sorry! I will compensate you, I will definitely compensate you."
Lin Qingmei waved her hand and said, "Forget it, it's not something valuable. Just be more careful next time."
"Qingmei, am I useless? I can even smash a bowl while washing it. I was really careless just now. I didn't expect the bowls in your house to be so slippery." Xu Zhiwei hung his head like a defeated chicken. He often washed the dishes at the educated youth center, but since the food was not oily, he just rinsed the bowls with water.
This time, Lin Qingmei's family was eating chicken, and the soup was full of oil. He accidentally dropped the bowl.
Lin Qingmei looked at the dejected Xu Zhiwei and couldn't help laughing, "Okay, it's no big deal. You're just not used to this kind of work."
At this time, Lin Zheng beside him also spoke to comfort him. "Brother Xu, don't be too upset. It's just a broken bowl. We won't blame you."
Seeing that everyone really didn't blame him, Xu Zhiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense heart finally relaxed.
As the sky gradually darkened, Xu Zhiwei said goodbye and left. Lin Zheng looked at his receding figure and said, "Sister, Brother Xu is actually quite kind."
Lin Qingmei smiled and nodded, "Well, it's good, but a little rash. It's time to rest early." Then the brother and sister went to their respective rooms and ended the day.
A few more days passed, and Lin Qinglan, who was far away in the northeast, finally welcomed his first day off as a new recruit.
Early in the morning, Lin Qinglan left the army and came to the nearby post office. She excitedly ran to the public telephone and dialed the number of the Linjiawan Brigade Headquarters.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Captain, I'm Qinglan! Is my sister from the brigade?"
"Qingmei is at work at the farm. Call me back in ten hours and I'll have someone go get her."
Lin Qinglan hung up the phone and called again ten minutes later. This time the person who answered the phone was Lin Qingmei, whom she was looking for.
"Lan Zi, are you still alive now?" Lin Qingmei was very excited when she received Lin Qinglan's call. They had been separated for more than a month. Since Lin Qinglan arrived at the army, there has been no news. If she hadn't confirmed that she was safe, Lin Qingmei would have wanted to go to the Northeast Army to look for her.
"I'm still here, just a little tired from training. Are you and Lin Zheng still home?" Lin Qinglan had a lot to say in her heart, but the phone bill was too expensive now, so she could only write what she wanted to say in a letter.
She had just sent the letter, but she didn't know when her hometown would receive it.
"We are also very happy, just focus on your training! When I have time at the end of the day, I will bring Lin Zheng to the army to see you." Lin Qingmei had planned it long ago. After selling this batch of crabs, she would find an excuse to take a leave and go out to play for a while.
"After I finish my recruit training, I will have to join a new unit. I hope to be assigned to a unit closer to home." Lin Qinglan's greatest hope was to go to the South Island Military Region, but she also knew that this was impossible.
There have been rumors in the army recently that the eliminated female soldiers will stay in the Northeast Military Region, and the ten selected will go to the special forces unit in Yunnan Province to continue training.
