No one saw Instructors Han and Yang the whole morning. Later, when Deng Zian asked the squad leader, he learned that Instructor Han had an urgent matter and left the barracks with Instructor Yang before dawn. They might be gone for three or four days.
Su Ran complained inwardly: He said he would prepare brown sugar ginger water for her today, but he just left without saying goodbye. Aren’t soldiers supposed to keep their word
After lunch, Su Ran was about to return to the dormitory when a soldier came to her and said that Doctor Mu from the infirmary asked her to go over, so Su Ran went.
When they arrived at the infirmary, Doctor Mu smiled and handed her a thermos cup: "Take the ginger soup back and drink it."
Ah? It turns out he didn't forget.
Su Ran's originally depressed mood suddenly turned into joy and she was secretly happy.
"Thank you, doctor."
"You don't need to thank me, thank your instructor Han! I thought he was a reckless man who only knew how to train and fight, but I didn't expect that a reckless man could have such a meticulous side. Go back and tell the other two female comrades that if you need anything during your menstrual period, let me know and I will prepare ginger soup for you."
In other words, she could take the ginger soup back and drink it slowly. In the name of the infirmary, everyone would have a share, and no one would have to envy anyone else, and no one would have to be sneaky like they did last night.
Su Ran expressed her gratitude again. When she was about to leave, Dr. Mu stopped her, took out a notebook, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "My niece likes you very much, can you..."
Su Ran understood, took the notebook and pen, and asked, "What's your niece's name? How old is she?"
"Yu Fei, Feng Yu Fei, Yu for rain, Fei for fragrance, it's the third year of junior high school!"
Su Ran changed her previous scribbled signature. After teaching in the mountains for several years, she had become accustomed to writing neatly. She wrote a sentence of encouragement and signed her name.
"Thank you, I finally got her signature." Dr. Mu was very happy, as if he had accomplished an important task.
After three days of boring and hard physical training and exercises, we finally arrived at the first weekend after entering the camp.
According to the army's regulations, you can go out on weekends, go shopping in nearby towns, watch movies, etc., but you must return to the camp on time. You can also get your own mobile phone back and call family and friends.
We have been locked up here for six days. As soon as we got our phones, we quickly found a deserted place and started contacting the outside world.
Su Ran called Ning Xi.
She was a little worried that things were not going well outside these days.
Sure enough, Ning Xi said that she had been on the hot search for three days, but told her not to worry, she would handle it, and the contract process had been completed. Director Chen expressed his position and was determined not to replace her.
"Is it Lin Ying?" Su Ran asked.
"Who else could it be except her? She really wanted to be in this play and made a lot of efforts, but Director Chen wouldn't give in. Now he's buying press releases everywhere saying that you stole her role and brought up those previous things. Just wait, first he'll let her jump enough, and then he'll give her a good slap in the face." Ning Xi is no longer as helpless as she was three years ago when facing the storm of public opinion again.
"Just focus on your military training in the army and don't worry about anything." Ning Xi emphasized at the end.
Su Ran thought to herself that even if she wanted to control it now, she couldn't.
"Sister Su Ran, hurry up, it's time to get in the car." Liu Yayi called her.
"I'm coming." Su Ran responded and said to Ning Xi, "I'll rely on you outside."
Su Ran got into the car and realized that she had forgotten to bring her camera. The car had already started, so Su Ran had to give up and planned to take the camera out to take pictures next weekend.
Everyone in the car was looking down at their phones, and would turn back to look at Su Ran from time to time, especially Ye Dansha, who would laugh happily from time to time.
Su Ran knew what they were looking at. She was on the hot search list and felt that the interpersonal relationships that had just eased a little were about to be tested again.
After more than an hour's drive, when they were almost there, Ye Dansha finally put down her phone and said to Liu Yayi, "Yayi, just follow me later. I'll take you to eat something delicious."
"But, I have already talked to Sister Su Ran." Liu Yayi looked at Su Ran embarrassedly.
Su Ran smiled cooperatively and agreed. In fact, she and Liu Yayi had no agreement at all, but it was obvious that Liu Yayi did not want to follow Ye Dansha.
Ye Dansha wanted to continue to persuade Liu Yayi, but Deng Zian spoke up: "Yayi, do you play King of Glory?"
"Yes, I play, but I am not very good at it."
"What level?"
“I’m platinum.”
"Platinum is fine, how about joining me later? Let's find a coffee shop to play together, and I'll help you get to Diamond."
Liu Yayi is still a child after all. When she heard that she could upgrade to diamond by playing in a group, she immediately said happily: "Okay, okay, Brother Zi'an, take me with you."
Forget about Su Ran.
"No problem. However, the most powerful person here is Chen Tao. He is already the Glory King." Deng Zian had a look of worship on his face.
"Chen Tao, you are so awesome, why don't you take me with you?" Ye Dansha said jokingly.
Several people were chatting enthusiastically about games. Su Ran felt that she was out of date. In the past few years in the mountains, she could only play games with children. She had never seen King of Glory. It seemed that she would be the only one left soon.
When getting off the car, Shen Yifeng asked Su Ran: "Do you want to join us?"
When he came out, the squad leader handed everyone over to him and asked him to look after them. He was a little worried about Su Ran being left alone.
Su Ran smiled: "I want to go to the bookstore to have a look."
"Okay, contact me if you have anything." Shen Yifeng shook his phone.
Liu Yayi felt embarrassed when she saw Sister Su Ran was alone: "Sister Su Ran, why don't I accompany you!"
"No need, just go and play with them." Su Ran said. It's a rare opportunity for everyone to get together, so if they want to play, just go and play!
The driver emphasized that the return bus would leave at 4 o'clock and we should still wait at this location.
So, the eight people were divided into three groups, and Su Ran acted alone.
Xinhua Bookstore was near the square. Su Ran found it after asking around. She walked around the bookstore, found a book, and passed the time reading in the reading area. When it was almost lunchtime, Su Ran went to pick out children's books. There were fifty books in total, divided by age groups. While waiting in line to pay, Su Ran glanced at her phone.
Uh... over thirty missed calls.
Because she was in a bookstore, she turned her phone to silent mode, thinking that no one would call her.
I clicked on the missed calls, and there were calls from Shen Yifeng and Liu Yayi, but the most were from an unfamiliar number, which called a total of twenty-seven times.
Who is this? Su Ran was about to call back, but before she pressed the call button, the number called again, and Su Ran quickly answered it.
"Hello! Who is this?"
"Su Ran, where are you?" An urgent voice came from the other end of the phone.
It’s Instructor Han.
Su Ran's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She didn't expect Instructor Han to call her.
"I'm in the county town."
"Where is the county town?"
"Xinhua Bookstore."
"Okay, just stay there and don't leave. I'll be there in about ten minutes. Remember, ignore anyone who talks to you and don't leave." Then there was a beep and he hung up the phone.
