After the morning's training, a group of officers walked to the cafeteria in small groups.
"Eh? Lao Zou? Did you say a few days ago that you were going back to your hometown to get your certificate?" one of the officers asked.
The officer in question smiled sheepishly, "Well, I'm getting older and my family is busy, so I introduced one to you. If both parties are satisfied this time, I will get the certificate."
Officers like them, who are stationed on the island all year round, usually don't have much contact with the opposite sex, and they grab a lot of officers who have no partners at their age.
Most of the ways to find your partner are through introductions from acquaintances, that is, blind dates.
"Don't worry, it will definitely work. Isn't Captain Lu the sister-in-law I met through a blind date? Look how loving she is now!" An officer who didn't know the inside story patted Lu Yunzheng on the shoulder and joked.
Lu Yunzheng lowered his eyes, looking uninterested, as if he was upset about something.
The man didn't care, and then said to Lao Han who was going on a blind date, "By the way, Lao Zou, do you have to pass through S City when you go back to your hometown? My wife called her friend in S City yesterday and said it was over there. There is a batch of lipstick in my son's shopping mall, and she wants it. She keeps telling me about it every day, my head is getting big, look...can you help me?"
"Okay, which mall? Do lesbians like this kind of thing? I just happen to buy one for my blind date." Lao Zou happily agreed.
"That's for sure! What woman doesn't like things like lipstick and cream? You're right to buy one as a gift for a lesbian! You can buy it at the No. 1 Department Store in City S."
As he said that, he took out a 10-yuan note from his pocket and handed it over, "If it's too much, use it as errand money. If it's too little, come back and tell me and I'll replenish it for you."
"become."
Lu Yunzheng stared at the two people intently. Before the canteen, he deliberately slowed down his pace and walked shoulder to shoulder with Lao Zou.
Lao Zou turned around and saw Lu Yunzheng. He was a little nervous. Captain Lu rarely chatted with anyone in private, and when he did, it was definitely about training.
But this time, it was beyond his expectation. Captain Lu gave him something, and he subconsciously took it with his hands.
Taking a closer look, he saw a few banknotes.
Before Lao Zou could react, Commander Lu said, "Buy a few for me too."
Lu Yunzheng paused, "It's best to have the same one. Thank you for your hard work."
Lao Zou stared blankly at Lu Yunzheng's back and smiled.
After Captain Lu got married, he became more humane.

On the other side, the radio station.
After Xu Wantang finished his morning broadcasting work, there was nothing much going on this day.
After the broadcast, the village director made a special trip to the broadcast room, praised her, said she had done a good job, and waved her hand, indicating that her work for today was almost over and she could go home and come back tomorrow morning. .
Xu Wantang never expected that his working hours would be so short and even more relaxing than working at the radio station in City B.
You have to work at the radio station, but you don’t even have to work at the radio station, you can just go home!
It's her dream job!
After the village director left, Xu Wantang didn't go back immediately. He sorted out the script again in the broadcast room as a record.
By the time I finished sorting it out, it was almost noon.
Xu Wantang then locked the door of the broadcast room and left the village committee.
Xu Wantang was thinking about what to eat when a military green jeep drove towards him.
Xu Wantang didn't think much about it. Lu Yunzheng was definitely not the only one in Quanlian Island who could drive a green jeep.
Moreover, this time was at noon, and it was not her time to get off work. It was definitely not Xiao Xu, maybe the political commissar or the political commissar's subordinates were out on business.
The road was very narrow and full of dust. Xu Wantang stepped aside, firstly to let the car pass faster, and secondly to avoid eating the dust raised by the car passing by.
What she didn't expect was that the car drove very slowly, and when it drove next to her, it didn't raise much dust.
Just as Xu Wantang was about to leave, he saw the driver's window rolled down.
"Where are you going? I'll take you there."
Xu Wantang looked at the people in the car in surprise. Is the commander of the army so idle?
"Eat and go home." Xu Wantang said, "No need to see me off, just take a walk and go back. Do you want to go do something? You are busy with your business."
The people in the car were still wearing their training clothes from the morning, and their bodies froze when they heard Xu Wantang's refusal.
Lu Yunzheng's hand on the steering wheel tightened, "The things are done, come on along the way."
He pretended not to care.
Xu Wantang was naturally happy to have a ride, so he opened the door and got in the car.
"Then just send me to a state-owned hotel." Xu Wantang said.
Lu Yunzheng drove the car with one hand, and while observing the front and rear of the road, he handed over the lunch box on the passenger side, "I'm out to do some errands, and I'll send you a meal by the way."
The lunch box was taken over by Xu Wantang in the back seat of the car.
Lu Yunzheng heard Xu Wantang's somewhat cold voice coming from the back seat, "There's no need to come see him off next time."
Lu Yunzheng felt that his heart seemed to "thump".
Did Xu Wantang feel the same way when she was rejected by him before?
It would be better for him to experience more.
Lu Yunzheng was frowning and thinking, when he heard the person behind him continue,
"I finish work early, so I can just go home and eat."
Lu Yunzheng's heart seemed to be suddenly released, "Okay."
"Then go home directly. If you have something to eat, don't go to the restaurant." Xu Wantang said.
"Okay." Lu Yunzheng's originally tense face softened a little and he replied.
Lu Yunzheng glanced at Xu Wantang from the rearview mirror, "I heard today's broadcast. You did a good job."
Lu Yunzheng praised dryly.
"Thank you." Xu Wantang replied politely.
Lu Yunzheng's palms were rarely sweaty, trying to get close to someone who wanted to stay away from you. He felt that there was nothing more difficult in the world than this.
But he doesn't want to give up.
Lu Yunzheng dropped Xu Wantang at the door of his house and returned to the army. Xu Wantang went home to eat, took a shower, and sat on the sofa watching TV.
There were no good programs at noon. Xu Wantang flipped through the few channels but couldn't find anything to watch.
She suddenly remembered that it had been almost a month since she left city B.
Wang Tong's surgery must have been over long ago.
I don’t know what the result will be...
Xu Wantang's heart beat rapidly when she thought of this. She got up and rummaged around in the bedroom and found the phone number that Huang Ruixiang and Wang Tong had left for her.
They made an agreement at that time. If everything went well, Huang Ruixiang would take Wang Tong back to City B to recuperate and live temporarily in the courtyard house Xu Wantang bought. Xu Wantang wanted to contact them and called the courtyard house.
Xu Wantang is very willing to do this. After all, Siheyuan is very depleted if people don't live in it for a long time, and it needs people to take care of it.
There was nothing better than having someone help her take care of the courtyard for free.
Xu Wantang stood by the phone and pressed the last number key, beating a drum in his heart...
