Chapter Thirty

  Kindness will be rewarded, I firmly believe this.

  So the next day's breakfast, my breakfast was no longer mantou, salted vegetables, egg and porridge bought from the military canteen, but rather a roasted bun, pigeon soup, a big bunch of grapes and a fragrant ham melon bought from the outdoor bazaar early market.

  Kang Ming's face was beaming with joy.

  Shut up, you bald-headed son of a bitch! What's wrong with you, yelling in the middle of the night? You almost scared me to death! I thought that stupid Xia Le had given you the wrong medicine or something!

  My mouth is full of fragrant roasted buns, I don't have the energy to bother with Brother Kuangming, I just pointed at my own heart and then at the ceiling and then at the floor.

  Heavens! Good heavens!

  I hummed for a whole night, am I easy?

  And last night till later I was all ears about Beijing anecdotes childhood interesting stories fighting experiences college stories, I couldn't sleep for a minute!

  And finally that fragment!

  If I weren't a mouthful of roasted buns, I'd really learn from you on the spot how to be a great romantic saint who has to give people a gentleman's kiss on the hand. And you're so blind that you even put your mouth on their face!

  And then there's Hou Jing's phrase that's full of Beijing flavor and tone, "I hate you, Kang Ming!"

  Brother, I guess your soul must have flown away at that time?

  I was eating, and then Hou Jing came to inspect the room with Xia Le, who had red eyes, following behind her. Then Hou Jing looked at me with a mouthful of roasted buns and was puzzled.

  Yesterday was still aching and shouting "ah yo" all night, but this morning got up and had such a good appetite? Doesn't this contradict medical common sense?

  Luckily I reacted quickly and spat out the roasted bun, panting heavily. "Huang Ming Huang Da Xia, you can't mess with me like this!" I really didn't have any appetite to eat anything, look at all this waste!

  Kuang Ming brother is also an old soldier, immediately came like a crosstalk, saying "How can that be?" You consumed your physical energy last night, you must eat more, you have to eat this to quickly recover and nourish your body.

  Hou Jing's eyes cleared up and she said to Kuang Ming, "You can't be so reckless! I know you all have good physiques, but patients can't eat greasy or heavy food. It's still best to stick with light and plain food, especially not in excess!"

  Then a warm and gentle look flashed in those eyes, saying that pigeon soup is still quite nourishing for the sick, and it's okay to eat. You didn't completely mess up either.

  I knew it, my brother Qīng Míng definitely got lucky last night!

  She hasn't even married into the family yet and already knows how to save face for her man, this woman is definitely a good catch!

  I haven't even started having fun here, and Xia Le came over and said sorry, I made you take the wrong medicine yesterday and made you suffer, it's all my fault.

  As I spoke, tears came down and the crying sound came out. The situation was such that if I said something blaming her, this sister would be able to come on the spot and slap her neck to apologize for her death.

  I couldn't bear it in my heart anymore.

  It was originally a harmless lie, but now it has really hurt the fragile self-confidence of a little girl soldier, and my guilt is even greater.

  Quickly said no big deal I'm definitely not taking the wrong medicine. I recalled that I should have eaten something unclean at night, which is almost certain.

  After being coaxed for half a day, Xia Le finally stopped crying.

  I looked at Gangming brother and Hou Jing again, I almost burst into tears.

  Hou Jing Hou's elder sister held my medical record book in her hand, flipping through it page by page very carefully, but her eyes were stuck on Brother Kou Ming, and she didn't read a single word from the medical record.

  My brother Ming was holding a bowl of pigeon soup, staring foolishly at Hou Jing with a silly smile on his face. The pigeon soup seemed to be intended for me, but I reckon that if I didn't call out, it would take until next year for the soup to reach my mouth.

  What's going on here?

  I'm the patient, I need care!

  It's been more than a week since I've been watching the little days go by, and my illness has almost recovered. I estimate that in a few more days, I'll be able to leave the hospital, which just so happens to be on Saturday. The hospital doesn't know what's going on either, but they're preparing for some kind of dance party.

  Anyway, the news was that Hou Jing casually mentioned in front of Kang Ming Gege, and even said with a carefree attitude that it seemed like some training class from a certain department had a party at the hospital, where all the guys were very impressive.

  When facing him, Brother Kuangming didn't say anything, the smile on his face still had a bit of a calm tone, and he hummed a sentence saying it's fine. The bald head has been suffocated for so long, I'm just leading the bald head to the dance party to sway and exercise, and can recover early.

  As soon as Jingyi walked away, Kuangming's eyes were not right. I couldn't describe what kind of eyes they were, but it was like when one wolf knows it's about to run into another wolf, that kind of eye full of vigilance and provocation.

  I'm confused, what does "ge ge" mean? Do you know something about this? Are you familiar with someone from that department's training class?

  Kuang Ming brother just hummed and said that some department's training class, I know, basically it is the elite officers of the important departments in the future Imperial Guard, the work is very good and the quality of each one is also passable.

  I looked at Brother Kangming's face and added a sentence, saying "Are those guys all elegant and handsome, but also bachelors?" Brother, this is a serious enemy alert, we can't be unprepared, right? Otherwise, let's quickly gather our troops at the garrison and launch a preemptive strike.

  Forget it, no need for Brother Ming to take action, I'll just give myself a light slap on the mouth.

  Doing this job for a long time has made me develop a bit of occupational disease, and I tend to resort to violence at the slightest provocation. This is a very bad habit...

  Brother Kuangming's eyes rolled around and said that we can't use despicable tricks, but we also can't be in a passive position. We have to think of ways to take the initiative and not lose face!

  Baldy, you just stay honest and I'll go to the garrison to find the team leader. We'll also mobilize some personnel, it's a gathering between military branches anyway! I don't believe that we're not much worse than that certain department, are we?

  I stared at Brother Kuangming in shock as he rushed out of the ward in a flash.

  I know my brother is really worried! People who have been through the storm of bullets and rain are not young anymore, it's easy to find a suitable woman, but whoever they put their mind on will be pursued relentlessly, like a dog biting a bone, even if it kills them, they won't let go!

  At six o'clock in the evening, just half an hour before the dance party began, I saw our team leader's camouflage jeep rushing to the courtyard of the Army Hospital from the window. Then, I saw two big men from the Army Hospital walking out with a smile and welcoming our team leader, who was also smiling, shaking hands after saluting each other, and then they went into the office together.

  Then, following the team leader's camouflage jeep, a large sedan drove in and out of the car jumped down more than a dozen brothers with one or two soft shoulder badges on their shoulders.

  The first one was a big hero, wearing brand new snow camouflage leather combat boots, with a bright and shiny haircut that had obviously just been trimmed. His face looked radiant, as if he had applied snow cream or was flushed with excitement, immediately attracting the attention of many eyes!

  My godly brother, you're just short of an automatic rifle with a few hand grenades attached, that's the kind of thing you'd do to kidnap a bride, you know...

  I don't know how to describe the leader's actions.

  They pulled out a large sedan, took all the unmarried officers from the guard post to the army hospital to attend a dance party. This is not something that a qualified commander with sufficient military career can do.

  What unit are we? We are an all-weather unit that is always ready to go up and die at any time!

  If you encounter someone who likes to make small reports, after adding oil and vinegar to describe it, the team leader may have to suffer some unclear losses because of this matter, and even investigate the reason why they did so.

  In the army, there are also a few wolves in sheep's clothing!

  Tuan Tou did just that. Tuan Tou knew too well how many difficulties and hardships his officers had to endure!

  At the height of their prime, these officers happened to encounter that war and, without any ado, picked up their automatic rifles and charged onto the battlefield.

  In the midst of blood and fire, these young boys from back then almost instantly grew into men, and then deeply imprinted their flesh and soul with the mark of the army!

  They gave the best years of their lives to the army, and they also plan to dedicate their whole life, but because of this, they don't have time to enjoy the emotional world and married life that many people of the same age no longer cherish.

  Now, with this opportunity, they might be able to find a suitable woman for themselves, as their superior, and it's only normal for the team leader to do so.

  The captain himself has children. In this regard, the captain treats these officers like an ordinary father treats his own children, worrying endlessly!

  PS: Today is August 1st Army Day, so I'll update a few more chapters.
