The Middle East is a place where all kinds of big sharks are entrenched. If you are not careful, you will be ruthlessly bitten. The Su family ranks among the top camp in China, but if it is placed in the Middle East, it has no advantage.
Chapter 1023: More charming than the morning glow
Around 3 a.m., before daybreak, a black car slowly drove into the Yunhai Garrison Area. As soon as the car stopped, two female soldiers in military uniforms came over, raised their hands and saluted, saying, "Please follow me."
Fang Zhicheng nodded, asked Guo Jinyuan to park the car first, then find a place to settle down, and followed the soldier upstairs.
"General Ning is on a mission. Please wait a moment. There are fruits and other food in the refrigerator. If you are hungry, you can help yourself." This female soldier is Ning Qiangwei's personal bodyguard. Fang Zhicheng has met her several times. She is not pretty, but her eyes are particularly bright.
Fang Zhicheng did not dare to underestimate her. She had once stood out in a national women's martial arts competition. To exaggerate a little, she could subdue Fang Zhicheng with just one arm.
After Ning Qiangwei got married, although she no longer had to perform frontline tasks, she still took on the task of training special forces soldiers. Lieutenant General Ning had previously transferred her to the Central Military Commission, but in the end she returned to a place she was familiar with and did frontline grassroots work.
Fang Zhicheng opened the refrigerator and saw that there were a lot of food stored, so he turned on the gas stove and started cooking. Judging from the use of the gas stove, it was almost never turned on. The Yunhai Garrison Area has equipped senior cadres with an apartment with an area of about 130 square meters, four bedrooms and two living rooms, suitable for two generations to live in, but Ning Qiangwei has always been alone, which is also deserted.
Fang Zhicheng washed the dishes for a while when he suddenly felt something strange behind him. He turned around and saw a beautiful woman looking at him with a smile. He gasped and said unhappily, "Why didn't you say anything? I thought no one was home!"
Ning Xiangcao rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and said, "I wanted to give you a surprise!"
"It's not a surprise, it's more like a shock." Fang Zhicheng continued to pick vegetables, "Prepare to cook some food, and after Qiangwei finishes her mission, we can eat together."
Ning Xiangcao yawned and said sadly, "So there's no place for me. Never mind. I'll go to sleep and not disturb your world of two. Even if you make a scene, I won't go out."
Fang Zhicheng quickly grabbed Ning Xiangcao and said with a smile: "Sister, if you say that, you must feel bad. I have to ask you to help me, so that it will be faster."
Ning Xiangcao rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng, found an apron in the corner, tied it around her waist, tore the cabbage into pieces, and put them into the basket. "Qiangwei is lonely, and I am lonely too, so we get together on weekends. I didn't know you came to Yunhai, otherwise I would definitely not come here to be a light bulb for you two."
The reason why Ning Qiangwei didn't tell Ning Xiangcao that Fang Zhicheng would come over this week was mainly because she was afraid that Ning Xiangcao would have a grudge and feel lonely.
Fang Zhicheng didn't know why he heard a bitter taste from Ning Xiangcao's mouth, and he had complicated feelings for Ning Xiangcao. If it wasn't for Mr. Ning's instructions, Fang Zhicheng and Ning Xiangcao would never have such a strange and alienated relationship. After Ning Qiangwei and Fang Zhicheng got married, Ning Xiangcao deliberately kept a distance from Fang Zhicheng, and the topics of communication were no longer so casual, with a little more reserve and concealment. She tried her best to restrain her emotions, which was a bit over the line, and made Fang Zhicheng feel the change in Ning Xiangcao's emotions.
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "You don't need to be so sensitive. You are the one who brought Qiangwei and me together. In her heart, you are her good sister. In my heart, you are also my good sister. How can you say you are a light bulb?"
Ning Xiangcao turned her head and looked at Fang Zhicheng's thin and angular face for a long time, then sighed, "Zhicheng, can't you be more loyal to your feelings? The noise you made with Cao Yao has reached our ears."
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "I'll try to change it."
Ning Qiangwei shook her head and sighed, "I don't have any expectations." After that, she reached her slender hand into the water, scooped out the white cabbage leaves, shook them, and then placed them on the chopping board.
Fang Zhicheng skillfully cut the cabbage into pieces, glanced at the vermicelli soaked in warm water, and said, "Let's start cooking. There will be a lot of smoke. Why don't you go out and wait for me?"
Ning Xiangcao nodded, looked at Fang Zhicheng deeply, and said, "I'll go and set the dishes."
Fang Zhicheng prepared the food, and Ning Xiangcao put it on the table. Ning Qiangwei still hadn't come back. Fang Zhicheng thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Why don't we eat first? We don't know when she'll come back."
Ning Xiangcao shook her head firmly and criticized, "I am very dissatisfied with your performance. Why don't you care about Qiangwei at all?"
Fang Zhicheng shrugged and said, "I just think it's a bit awkward for the two of us to just sit there and do nothing."
Ning Xiangcao stood up, found her phone, and sent a text message. Not long after, she received a reply saying, "There's still half an hour left. Let's wait a little longer."
Fang Zhicheng glanced at the wall clock and said, "It's already four o'clock. This meal is considered breakfast."
Ning Xiangcao smiled and said, "It's a very interesting experience."
Fang Zhicheng's eyes fell on Ning Xiangcao's hands, and he found that she was rubbing her left hand with her right hand, which was a little unnatural and a little strange. At this time, a rustling sound came from the keyhole of the door. Ning Qiangwei opened the door and walked in. Seeing that the room was brightly lit and the smell of food came from the restaurant, she smiled and said, "Cooking in the middle of the night? But I am really hungry. I just led those new recruits to run 5,000 meters."
Ning Xiangcao stood up and served Ning Xiangcao a bowl of soup, saying, "You are a general, there is no need to do everything yourself."
Ning Qiangwei shook her head, raised her eyebrows, and said: "A general must set an example, otherwise he won't be able to control those people. You don't know, those guys are wild and hard to tame. If I don't prove that I am stronger than them, they will probably make a scene."
Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Let's not talk about work, just fill our stomachs."
Ning Qiangwei pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, why are you here?"
Fang Zhicheng knew that Ning Qiangwei was deliberately making this gesture, so he cooperated and said, "So I was nothing in your eyes, but now you realize I am so different!"
Ning Qiangwei nodded seriously and said, "To me, my husband is just a decoration, dispensable."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said disappointedly: "It seems that I came here for nothing."
Ning Qiangwei waved her hand and said carelessly: "It is still worthwhile. At least the dish is well cooked, with good color, aroma and taste."
Ning Xiangcao looked at this pair of happy enemies with complicated feelings in her heart, and said, "How about having a drink?"
Ning Qiangwei said, "I stole a few bottles of red wine from Lao Yao last time, why don't we drink that?"
Old Yao, Yao Fangping, is the commander of the Yunhai Military Region, a military-level cadre, and also a member of the Yunhai Municipal Party Committee. Although Ning Xiangcao is also a major general, she is still far behind Yao Fangping in terms of military experience. According to Yao Fangping's ability, it would only take a few seconds to be promoted to lieutenant general. As long as he has served in the region for more than two years, he can be promoted. However, Yao Fangping does not care much about the level and is not willing to serve in the region as an idle position.
In his opinion, the higher you go, the further you are from the soldiers. Although modern warfare emphasizes information technology and technology, he believes that it is people who decide the outcome of a war. Only by cultivating outstanding talents can the strength of China's military be substantially improved.
Although the Yunhai Garrison is located in the economic heartland of China, the military still focuses on talent training. Judging from the results of regional and national competitions in recent years, the Yunhai Garrison has performed very well.
When Fang Zhicheng opened the red wine and poured it into the glass wine container to decant it, Ning Xiangcao suggested eating on the balcony. Fang Zhicheng patted his thigh and smiled, "What a unique idea."
When the dishes and bowls were placed on the balcony, a golden color appeared in the sky, and the rising autumn sun emitted rays of light. Drinking red wine and watching the light slowly blooming on the faces of the Ning sisters, Fang Zhicheng suddenly felt like he was still in a dream. Ning Qiangwei saw that Fang Zhicheng was distracted, and gently hit Fang Zhicheng's wine glass in mid-air with her glass, making a "ding" sound, which brought Fang Zhicheng back to his thoughts.
"What are you thinking about?" Ning Qiangwei asked with her eyes squinting.
