Zhou Hai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looked at Yilier with bright and deep eyes, a spring-like smile appeared on his face again, and extended his blessings in a personal capacity.
Forcibly suppressing the word beauty that comes out of the mouth, the first time is a misunderstanding, the second time has been reminded by customs, and to say that someone is beautiful is to be a hooligan.
Yilier smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your blessing, Instructor Zero."
"Then it's time for us to say goodbye and see you again in the future."
Zhou Hai took a deep breath, looked at the Argentinian girl he had been with for four months, and said goodbye with gentle and clear words.
"Goodbye, instructor Ling. If possible, I hope you can come to my hometown as a guest." Bright black eyes were fixed on Zhou Hai, and Yilier nodded gently, smiling widely.
"Go if you get the chance."
After hearing this, Zhou Hai smiled, replied, waved to Yilier to say goodbye, and turned to face the three captains who were waiting behind the door of the dormitory building.
The remaining three female orderlies stood in a row on the right side of the main entrance. Yilier returned to the team at a standard pace, maintaining a military posture.
"It's all said and done," Pufferfish said with a smile after Zhou Hai returned to the team.
Zhou Hai nodded, "That's it."
"It's a pity that I have planted tomatoes and cucumbers in my yard and haven't had a chance to eat them." After hearing this, Fugu stopped paying attention and looked at the vegetable garden on the right side of the building, sighing softly.
Today's dormitory building has undergone major changes from the first time.
Spring is full of greenery.
The approximately 15-square-meter garden at the bottom of the building has long been turned into an exclusive vegetable garden for the pufferfish from the instructor team going to Afghanistan. The tomato and cucumber seedlings sown in spring are continuously absorbing the warm sunshine from the sky and are growing vigorously.
Water Lotus and Lychee did not get involved in farming because all the land was occupied by the pufferfish, and they could not use the farming talent flowing in their bodies.
As for Zhou Hai, in his free time, he prefers reading and studying.
Learning makes me happy is no joke.
"Everyone is here, on the base apron, run forward." After a few seconds, the somewhat distressed Pufferfish calmed down and ordered loudly.
The loud and powerful words fell and resounded all around.
In an instant, the four instructors carrying luggage and backpacks ran forward, leaving the instructors' dormitory building and heading to the base apron under the salutes and gazes of the four Alfang female orderlies, just like when they came in April.
"Goodbye, Instructor Zero, I wish you become a true ace."
Yilier looked at the back of Zhou Hai at the end of the team, tried her best to maintain a military posture, her right hand trembled slightly, and she said softly.
She knew that this separation might be forever.
There were no tears, let alone tears due to parting. Yilier, who had stopped controlling her emotions a long time ago, knew very well that there would be no outcome between herself and this young Chinese instructor.
The sky is blue and cloudless.
"Buzz"
Accompanied by the loud noise of the turboshaft engine and the high-speed rotation of the blades, the four-person instructor team who arrived at the tarmac and boarded the Army's SA0 Jaguar helicopter took off and left the desert in the desert under the watchful eyes of all Afghan pilots and officers. Fat Air Force Base and headed straight to Puerto Madryn, four hundred kilometers away.
The journey back home is still by boat.
The ground support squadron led by Zhang Ziyun had already arrived in Puerto Madryn by car. After the four instructors arrived, they boarded the 60,000-ton ocean freighter Cangyun, which they had already contacted, and left Argentina to return home via the Pacific route.
Two hours later, the SA0 Jaguar, flying smoothly, arrived at the heavily guarded military port area of Port Madryn and stopped safely.
The four-person instructor team left the helicopter and, under the guidance of relevant personnel from the Albanian Air Force, headed straight to the port terminal to join the ground support squadron.
After organizing the formation and briefly explaining the tasks and essentials, dozens of instructors and ground crew members in casual clothes boarded the Cangyun ocean freighter.
I didn't wear the standard military uniform because it was too eye-catching.
The personnel are present and the order is given.
After the captain obtained permission to leave the port, he retracted the metal cable and the two tugboats affiliated with Port Madryn operated at full capacity to slowly tow the 60,000-ton Cangyun cargo ship out of the dock.
"Buzz"
Ten minutes later, accompanied by the high and distant sound of the ship's whistle, the Cangyun, which adjusted its position and course, received surging power from the power system. The propellers rotated, facing the warm and genial sunshine, splitting the rippling blue waves. Cold water, sailing to the distant ocean.
In the cabin area, in the single dormitory No. 6, Zhou Hai sat beside the bed and felt the smooth sailing of the Cangyun. He held a brand-new photo in his hand and looked at Zuo Xue's beautiful smile above, silently saying nothing.
As a pilot, Zhou Hai was the same as when he arrived in Argentina. In addition to receiving mission subsidies at all times, he had no choice but to enjoy top-notch treatment and a standard single room with personal privacy.
After a long time, in the narrow and quiet dormitory, a somewhat self-blaming voice came out faintly, "I will return to China in 24 days. It has been more than five months. It should be considered a new record of letters between us. I hope you don't blame me. Don't worry, I'm sure." Will want you."
At the end of his words, the beginning of the third letter was recalled in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile, dispelling the somewhat depressing and dull atmosphere.
Taking the Pacific route by boat, the round trip took forty-seven days, plus four months and 12 days, a total of one hundred and seventy days, with an interval of more than five months. Such a long time without replying to the letter can be said to create a delay in the exchange of letters between the two. A new record for time.
The previous record of delay, held by the second reply letter, was four months.
Now that the new record has been broken, not only has the fourth reply not yet been written, but the time is still increasing.
The only good thing is that since joining the Transformation Project, the speed of sending letters to Zuo Xue has greatly improved, reaching the normal range, and it only takes seven days.
Although it feels like he hasn't replied to the letter for so long, Zhou Hai can't help but laugh when he blames himself when he thinks of new records being set continuously.
Joy in suffering
Nothing more than this.
"Dong dong" At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the bedroom door.
"Um"
Zhou Hai came back to his senses, a little confused, put away the photos, stood up and opened the metal door of the dormitory.
In front of the door, Captain Fugu stood in casual clothes.
"Pufferfish, what's wrong?" Zhou Hai asked, looking at the pufferfish that suddenly arrived.
"Don't just think about something happening all day long. It's nothing this time. I just came to see you and care about you." Hearing these words, Fugu felt helpless and smiled and said, "You have been out for so long, do you miss home?"
"Come in and sit down. I thought you were going to mention teaching. Why did you suddenly mention this?" Zhou Hai motioned for Fugu to come in and sit down. He shook his head and replied, "No."
