Chapter 28 : Complaint

” Zhuang Mingcheng, I know you love your wife, but isn’t that a bit too much? People are saying that you are about to move the supply and marketing cooperative to your home.”

Gao Dajiang’s face straightened, and he said earnestly.

“There are some families in our group who are in need. You charge 150 yuan for a large wardrobe. What do you think they will think?”

Zhuang Mingcheng listened silently.

He knew that this was not a good idea, but he was about to leave and didn’t care what others thought.

It’s not so good, so bad, as long as Lu Fangfang can eat and drink well.

But there is one thing that Zhuang Mingcheng still needs to explain, “Captain, the wardrobe in my house is not 150 yuan, it’s 97 yuan.”

Gao Dajiang glared at Zhuang Mingcheng and said, “You are too ostentatious. It has a bad influence on you and your fiancée. Xiao Zhuang, you should think more about what you do in the future.”

“Captain, my fiancée doesn’t like that big wardrobe. How about I sell it to you at the original price? Just consider it as paying off my debt.”

“Um?”

Gao Dajiang was stunned and was actually tempted.

The person who reported him said that the wardrobe had symmetrical double doors with peonies painted on them and a large mirror inlaid in the middle. It was very beautiful and there were only a few such wardrobes in the entire area.

If he moved back, maybe his wife would be happy and come back more often every month.

Gao Dajiang reacted quickly, “You little brat, if your fiancée doesn’t like it, you’re going to transfer it to me? What do you think I am?”

After a few words of scolding and laughing, Gao Dajiang got down to business. “Tell me, why are you here with me instead of staying with your fiancée?”

“Captain, I would like to request a replacement for the military doctor accompanying the troops on this mission.”

“Change the military doctor?”

Gao Dajiang frowned, feeling unhappy.

“Xiao Zhuang, your personal feelings cannot be mixed up with the affairs of the regiment. If there is no other reason, I will not approve your application.”

Zhuang Mingcheng did not hide anything. He carefully repeated what Lu Fangfang had just said to him.

He even did not hide the fact that Xiao Ting wanted to kick his fiancée out of the family compound.

“In this confidential mission, apart from Haibing and I, only you and the political commissar should know about it. But how did Comrade Xiao Ting know about it?”

“She also violated the confidentiality regulations and told my fiancée about the mission. From this incident, it can be seen that Comrade Xiao Ting has no sense of confidentiality at all and is not suitable for this mission. Therefore, I applied for a replacement military doctor.”

Gao Dajiang: “…”

How else could Xiao Ting know this? She must have heard it from her father.

Gao Dajiang was very troubled and felt somewhat resentful towards his teacher in his heart, saying that the teacher did not even abide by the confidentiality regulations and was truly lawless.

Of course, he was just thinking about it.

Seeing Zhuang Mingcheng staring at him, Gao Dajiang waved his hand and said helplessly “Okay, I know about this, you go back first.”

Zhuang Mingcheng continued to stand in the room, wanting a definite result.

“Get lost!”

“Captain, Xiao Ting is the only child of the division commander. It’s a long journey to the new province. This mission is really not suitable for her. You have to think carefully about it.”

Zhuang Mingcheng pursed his lips and continued, “Captain, Fangfang is alone in the family compound with no one to rely on. Please take care of her.”

Zhuang Mingcheng saluted solemnly.

After a long time, he turned and left.

“This brat still doesn’t trust me.”

Gao Dajiang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Remembering what he said about the teacher having only one child, Gao Dajiang curled his lips again. He only had one child now, but he couldn’t say for sure what would happen in the future.

He heard that the teacher wanted to find a stepmother for Xiao Ting, and she seemed to be from the art troupe.

“It’s a real headache.”

Gao Dajiang thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to have someone call Xiao Ting over and ask her personally about the leak.

After leaving the commander’s office, Zhuang Mingcheng did not rush back to the staff quarters.

He went to the camp to find the instructor Wang Haibing and asked about tomorrow’s mission.

Seeing that his old partner had arranged everything in an orderly manner, he felt relieved.

After returning to the dormitory in the camp, Zhuang Mingcheng packed some bedding and planned to take it to the family quarters for Lu Fangfang to use first.

Not long after he left the camp carrying his bedding, he ran into a fashionably dressed woman.

“Tsk tsk, Comrade Zhuang Mingcheng, are you moving to the family compound? Will Comrade Lu come back to the guesthouse tonight? If not, I won’t leave the door open.”

Zhu Haimei was sarcastic and extremely jealous.

She heard that Zhuang Mingcheng went to the city today and bought a truckload of stuff. He was more like a capitalist than her.

It had been several days since she came to the group, but she still had no place to stay. However, the little country girl who was looked down upon at first settled down immediately, and her life was getting better and better.

Especially since her fiancé was so handsome, Zhu Haimei hated him more and more, and her eyes were about to burst into flames.

“Comrade Zhu Haimei, you care too much.”

Zhuang Mingcheng glanced at her, then continued walking forward with the blanket on his back. “By the way, this is an important military location. Comrade Zhu Haimei, you’d better not wander around. You should return to Shanghai as soon as possible.”

After giving her some sincere advice, Zhuang Mingcheng ignored her.

“You…bah!”

Looking at Zhuang Mingcheng’s back, Zhu Haimei’s face was uncertain.

She couldn’t delay any longer. If she couldn’t deal with the Second Battalion Commander Xu Jinbu, she would have to replace him with someone else. She didn’t want to return to Shanghai in disgrace.

But there were not many single battalion-level officers in the regiment, and except Xu Jinbu, she didn’t like any of them.

“If it really doesn’t work, then I’ll just give it to that liar Li Dajun.”

Looking at the 1.80-meter-tall Zhuang Mingcheng in front of her, and then thinking about Li Dajun who was still in solitary confinement, Zhu Haimei suddenly felt like crying.

“Zhuang Mingcheng! Stop right there!”

Zhuang Mingcheng was about to enter the family quarters with his bedding on his back when he was stopped again.

Turning around, Xiao Ting was looking at him with a wronged expression.

“Zhuang Mingcheng, why did you ask the team leader to replace me? It was Lu Fangfang who beat me this morning, why did you punish only me?”

Zhuang Mingcheng understood.

It seems that the team leader listened to his advice and decided to change people.

“Comrade Ting, it was indeed wrong for Fangfang to hit someone. I apologize to you on her behalf. I’m sorry!”

Zhuang Mingcheng bent down and bowed.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Ting felt even more aggrieved.

“The replacement was agreed to by the regiment commander. Comrade Ting, if you have any questions, you should ask the regiment commander.”

After saying this, Zhuang Mingcheng continued walking towards the family quarters, carrying the bedding on his back.

Before he entered the family compound, he smelled a rich fragrance. He couldn’t wait to go back and taste Lu Fangfang’s cooking.
