Chapter 117 I Don't Want to Cry Either
"It's so nice to have a dad who knows kung fu." Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
Jiang Chunyu bent down and pulled her up from the ground: "Are you trying to say that your father is bad?"
"No, my dad is better than most people's dads. Although he doesn't know kung fu, he has other skills, so my dad is a good dad too."
"Let's go."
Zhao Yanan brushed the dust off her body. "I don't know if we can still wash up now. We're so dirty. We need to take a shower again, and we also need to wash our clothes."
Fortunately, they wore their own clothes that night, not the military uniforms issued by the military academy.
Otherwise, if the clothes aren't dry by tonight after being washed, they won't have anything to wear tomorrow.
There are 90 days of military training in total, and there are still 89 days left. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
The three of them returned to the dormitory, and none of them were asleep yet.
Gao Jinmei was still reading, while Wei Hong sat dejectedly on a small stool, looking sadly at the people who entered.
Zhao Yanan casually asked, "Where's Zou Xiaolan?"
It's so late, and he's not in the dormitory. Didn't Gao Jinmei care?
Gao Jinmei put down her book: "The instructor just came and checked the dormitories. They confiscated everything that was against the rules or prohibited. Zou Xiaolan went with them."
She brought too many things, and they were too varied, so the instructor called her away.
Zhao Yanan asked, puzzled, "What are prohibited or illegal items?"
"Knives, firearms, medicine, food..."
"Really?"
Zhao Yanan immediately jumped up and opened her cabinet.
In the cupboard, the two jars of pork jerky her mother made for her were gone, as were the stir-fried broad beans her sister-in-law made for her.
Zhao Yanan looked at Jiang Chunyu in despair and murmured, "I even said I'd treat you to something."
I should have known better than to go to the playground and instead divided it up beforehand.
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't bring any contraband, but she still opened her closet.
Looking at the neatly stacked items in the cabinet, Zhou Yuanyuan glanced at them. Good, because there were no illegal or prohibited items; all her belongings were there.
Jiang Chunyu didn't even open his own cabinet.
Besides the items issued by the military academy and some things she brought herself, there was nothing prohibited in her closet.
Seeing that Jiang Chunyu had taken a basin to fetch water to wash up, Gao Jinmei hurriedly asked, "Do you want to check your cabinet to see if anything has been confiscated?"
"No need, I didn't bring anything with me."
Jiang Chunyu opened his locker and showed it to the other people in the dormitory.
Gao Yuanyuan happened to be standing to the side and casually glanced at it. Goodness, Jiang Chunyu's cabinet was even simpler and neater than hers.
Gao Jinmei glanced at Gao Yuanyuan and Jiang Chunyu standing in front of the cabinet, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
Before she even set out for the university, she knew she would encounter many powerful and formidable opponents.
Unexpectedly, she encountered two such people in just one dormitory room.
Gao Yuanyuan was clearly born into a military family; her father served in the military and held a high-ranking position.
As for Jiang Chunyu, Gao Jinmei had not yet discerned her true nature.
She guessed that this girl was either like Gao Yuanyuan, whose father or grandfather were soldiers, or that her family had a powerful backer.
These two people can only be won over and befriended; you absolutely cannot push them to the opposite side.
Thinking of this, Gao Jinmei filled her basin with water, threw a white towel into the water, and wrung it out.
"Wei Hong, stop crying. The things have been confiscated, so be it. Crying won't solve anything."
"My mom made me 'Steel Chicken' (spicy chicken), two whole lunchboxes. I managed to eat half of it on the way home, but the rest was confiscated. Ah..."
The more Wei Hong thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
She was naturally a glutton, and when her mother bought a rooster, she packed almost all the meat into a lunchbox for her. However, she couldn't bear to eat it herself, so the meat was confiscated. How could she not cry?
Seeing Wei Hong crying uncontrollably, Gao Jinmei was also at a loss: "If you keep crying, the instructor will be here."
"I didn't want to cry, but the tears wouldn't listen to me."
Wei Hong sobbed as she took the towel Gao Jinmei handed her and wiped her face hard.
"I just feel so bad. You don't know how long my mom rode her bike to the countryside to buy a chicken, even going to a funeral parlor to find one. But I... but I..."
I can't say it; the more I talk about it, the more heartbroken I'll become.
"Okay, stop crying."
After a quick rinse, Jiang Chunyu stretched out his hand to Wei Hong, holding a White Rabbit milk candy in his open palm.
"Eating something sweet will make me feel less sad."
Where did you get the candy?
Wei Hong sobbed as she took the candy. Despite the heat, the candy hadn't melted. "Thank you, Jiang Chunyu."
With the comfort of this piece of candy, Wei Hong felt much better.
After a long pause, Wei Hong finally managed to stop crying. She carefully unwrapped the candy and slowly put it in her mouth.
The milk candy is very sweet.
My throat, which had been dry and bitter from crying, seemed to be soothed instantly.
Gao Jinmei also wanted to ask Jiang Chunyu where the milk candy came from. She had watched the instructors collect the cabinets. Both Gao Yuanyuan and Jiang Chunyu's beds and cabinets received praise from the instructors.
However, she wisely kept quiet.
When Zou Xiaolan returned, her eyes were even redder and more swollen than Wei Hong's.
Zhao Yanan, who was already in bed, asked curiously, "Zou Xiaolan, are you alright?"
"The instructor made me write a self-criticism."
Zou Xiaolan had already cried once, and now even if she wanted to cry, she didn't have the strength.
"Write a self-criticism?" Zhao Yanan exclaimed in surprise.
"Is it that serious?" Jiang Chunyu also poked his head out of the bed.
"Because of me...because of me..."
Because she clung to the instructor's leg and cried over her belongings, she was ultimately punished by having to write a self-criticism.
After talking for a long time, Zou Xiaolan still couldn't explain why she was punished by having to write a self-criticism.
It was so embarrassing that she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Zou Xiaolan rolled onto the bed, pulled the blanket over her head, not caring how difficult it was for her to fold the blanket.
The students in the dormitory looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
After everyone turned off the lights, Jiang Chunyu turned over in bed and slowly probed his spiritual sense into the space.
Upon discovering that the space on the playground had been opened, but people couldn't enter, Jiang Chunyu scratched his head in curiosity.
She tried it while taking a shower just now, and while no one can enter the space, it's fine to take things out or store things.
At this moment, Xiao Qi left her a letter in the space.
It seems that Xiao Qi knows the space can be used, but I wonder if he knows that people cannot enter the space.
The letter contained only a few lines of text.
"Little Fish, you don't need to worry about the fruits, herbs, and grains in the space. I'll ask my father to help sell them once they're ripe. I'll keep the money or goods from the sale in the space. If you need anything, just leave me a message in the space. Little Fish, take care."
This note was written in a hurry; it must have been written hastily after Xiao Qi discovered that the space had become loose.
After all, he's still on the train and hasn't arrived in Beijing yet.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chunyu left a note for Xiao Qi in his space: "Remember to let me know when you get to the capital. Don't worry if you can't enter the space right now. We'll meet again in the space when you can."
Just as his consciousness was about to leave the space, Jiang Chunyu added another sentence to the paper.
Xiaoqi, take care of yourself too, and I look forward to the day we meet again.
