Ye Fan smiled and handed over the bag. Geng Zhiye took it naturally and took her hand back to the dormitory: "Dabao and Erbao are not coming?"
"There is class today." Ye Fan was curious, "Don't you have Sunday?"
Geng Zhiye only has vacations, no rest days, and he really forgot what day it is today. Hearing this, he said: "Yes. Is it hard for me?"
Come again? Ye Fantiao rolled his eyes inwardly, with a distressed look on his face: "It's so hard."
"What should we do?" Geng Zhiye asked pitifully.
Ye Fan's free hand touched his face: "I can only hurt you more."
"Poof!"
The two of them were startled, and turned around to see the young officer returning. Geng Zhiye kicked him without saying a word. The young officer jumped two steps back and hurriedly handed over the information in his hand: "The political commissar asked me to give it to you."
Geng Zhiye retracted his legs, took the information and hit him on the forehead. The young officer was stunned for a moment, unable to believe how his reaction speed could compare with his father's. Geng Zhiye asked angrily: "Is there anything else?"
"Waiting for your instructions." The young officer touched his head pitifully, "Sister-in-law, commander——"
Geng Zhiye handed it over.
The young officer swallowed back his words: "Okay?"
It's not a big deal, the political commissar can decide it. Geng Zhiye nodded, and the young officer went upstairs with the documents.
Ye Fan glanced at the words "exercise" and immediately looked away, guessing that there was some kind of exercise going on. After the National Day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so all officers can celebrate with peace of mind before the National Day.
Ye Fan asked: "Should I go to the dormitory or wait for you in the office?"
"I'm not busy. Go to the dormitory." Geng Zhiye didn't say that his wife was coming today, but the last time Ye Fan came to the young officer, he asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want to spend the holidays together?" Ye Fan replied that she would come before November. The political commissar, chief of staff and others estimated that it was time for her to come, and they would not disturb Geng Zhiye with small matters for the past two days.
The junior officer could have gone directly upstairs, but when he saw the pretentious look of the division commander, he deliberately went there to cause trouble.
Geng Zhiye also knew that nothing major had happened recently, so he kicked him because he suspected that his intentions were impure
Ye Fan saw that there was no trace of holiday in the whole military camp, and he was very puzzled: "Shouldn't we arrange it yet?"
"What?" Geng Zhiye looked up and saw her looking around, "Don't worry. It's National Day only tomorrow."
There was a wake-up whistle in the military camp in the morning. After the whistle, there was morning exercise. Ye Fan was woken up by the wake-up whistle and wanted to go back to sleep. She was also woken up by the sound of running and shouting slogans. She simply got up and cleaned the room to kill time.
It was finally dawn, and she was planning to go out. Geng Zhiye came over with two lunch boxes and an enamel jar.
Ye Fan subconsciously asked: "Aren't you going to the canteen?"
"There are too many people in the cafeteria!" Geng Zhiye opened the enamel jar and said, "Spicy soup, no tofu curd." He opened the lunch boxes again. One contained several dishes, and the other contained steamed buns, steamed buns and eggs.
This breakfast was rich in these days, but Ye Fan was speechless: "Everyone stopped staring at me last time I came here. Are you worried?"
"That's because they don't stare directly at you." Geng Zhiye got annoyed when he mentioned this. "They all act like they have never seen lesbians before."
Ye Fan sat down helplessly: "Who said anything else?"
Geng Zhiye raised his eyebrows: "You know? Have you met him?"
"Who is it?"
Geng Zhiye saw that she was wearing leggings on her feet, and estimated that it was impossible for her to go out like this, and the possibility of encountering outsiders was extremely low: "No one."
"Are you excited?"
Geng Zhiye confessed: "Who else, Chief of Staff, said that the few times you came here, he found that your clothes were not the same. Do you think he was idle?"
"That's it?" Ye Fan took a sip of spicy soup and felt like there was more than one bowl in it, "Have you eaten it?"
Geng Zhiye shook his head.
Ye Fan pushed the spicy soup over: "You drink it first."
Geng Zhiye asked: "What about you?"
Ye Fan broke off a piece of steamed bun and said, "Eat vegetables."
Geng Zhiye complained while drinking: "How could he know that your clothes are different without looking at you?"
"Didn't you say anything else?"
Geng Zhiye didn't want to say anything, but seeing her curiosity, he had no choice but to continue: "I asked you where you bought your clothes. He had never seen them in the city. He also asked if they were expensive. Do you think he was alone and had enough to eat? ”
Ye Fan was very surprised and couldn't help but stop his chopsticks: "He has no children?"
"The two daughters have no sons. When he divorced, he wanted children, but his ex-wife asked him how to take care of them, but he didn't dare to ask for them. He kept half of his monthly salary, and the other half was given to his mother and his ex-wife."
Ye Fan was curious about why he divorced.
Geng Zhiye knew what she wanted to ask as soon as he raised his eyes: "There is no big conflict, because the relationship between him and his ex-wife has weakened due to the separation between the two places, and the ex-wife is also affected by being a widow." After a pause, "I guess he is serving his parents. Life has gone smoothly after the divorce, the money is not much less, and there is no need to take care of the elderly.”
"He said that?"
Geng Zhiye shook his head: "He said that his ex-wife would move away as soon as she got the divorce certificate, and he was not willing to stay for a moment longer. I guess if I don't have any conflicts with my parents-in-law, I wouldn't be so impatient."
"It's possible."
Geng Zhiye asked casually: "Why do you care about him so much?" After saying it, a possibility came to mind, "You don't want to introduce him to Chen Xiaohui, do you?"
Ye Fan rolled his eyes at him, "What are you talking about?"
"Then why do you ask so many questions?" Geng Zhiye snorted, "You should care more about me."
Ye Fan pulled a piece of steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth: "I care about you!"
Geng Zhiye was speechless. After finally swallowing the steamed bun, he complained: "You want to choke me to death. Are you as cool as the chief of staff?"
Ye Fan stepped on his feet, and Geng Zhiye hurriedly said: "Eat, eat." Ye Fan stopped, and Geng Zhiye's mouth itched again: "The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, you can't blame me for overthinking."
"He looks ten years older than Chen Xiaohui, and he is married and has children. Do you think they are a good match?"
Geng Zhiye: "There is a lot of nonsense. Apart from professional knowledge, I don't know much about anything else. I think it is a good match."
Ye Fan was too lazy to argue with him, so he pulled the vat over and took a few sips of spicy soup.
Geng Zhiye stopped: "Actually, I have a candidate here, but I'm afraid you might think I'm messing with the rules."
"Tell me about it."
Geng Zhiye thought about it to avoid being scolded when he said something wrong: "Married!"
Ye Fan couldn't help but stare.
Geng Zhiye sighed: "How many outstanding talents in their thirties these days have never been married? Even if they are temporarily unmarried, they still have fiancées."
"Yes."
Geng Zhiye: "The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders. There must be scientific researchers who have no shortcomings in height, appearance, and good character. But where to find them?"
Ye Fan was asked: "Then you continue?"
"Similar in age to Chen Xiaohui, he is an expert in ordnance repair. His academic qualifications are not as good as Chen Xiaohui's, but he is also a university graduate."
Ye Fan asked directly: "Why are you getting divorced?"
"No child." Geng Zhiye said, "I heard he can't give birth."
Ye Fan: "I guessed it. If it is his wife, he is unlikely to divorce."
Geng Zhiye shook his head: "You guessed wrong. I dare to mention this person to you because I know he is leaving and I don't want to delay his wife."
"That's not okay. It means he has his ex-wife in his heart."
"Everyone's children will be gone." Ye Fan was surprised: "The front foot is separated from the back foot, so the relationship between him and his ex-wife is not good?"
"It was good at first. His mother was fierce and unreasonable. He probably blamed his ex-wife for occupying the nest and not laying eggs, which caused the couple to part ways. It seems that his ex-wife had a child, and he was sure that he was not good."
Ye Fan shook his head.
“You think the man’s mother is naughty?”
Ye Fan: "Everyone knows that he has no talent, so why is he mentally distorted? Maybe he may appear to be a gentleman on the surface, but he beats his wife behind closed doors."
Geng Zhiye was speechless and took a bite of the bun to vent his anger.
Ye Fan was very serious: "If it were you, could you handle it while others know you can't?"
Geng Zhiye imagined it and nodded: "It's not that I'm a deserter. I just don't have children. I can say that I was accidentally injured during training."
Ye Fan sighed: "But I'm not you."
"So it doesn't work?"
Ye Fan nodded: "My parents have many things to do, and he himself has other things to do. Even if no one wants Chen Xiaohui, he can't make do with him. It would be better to make do with Chang Guangrong's nephew. It's a pity that he is too young, a few years older, even if he is only thirty Years old, I dare to ask them to look at it everywhere.”
Geng Zhiye said quickly: "Stop it! Even if he is the same age as Chen Xiaohui, he can't do it. That family is more troublesome than what I said. I only have the power of my mother-in-law. Now that I know that my son can't do it, I guess he has stopped. That family, grandparents, uncles Aunts, uncles, aunts, cousins, good guys, it’s even more chaotic than the Northeastern hodgepodge.”
What are you talking about? Ye Fan wanted to kick him again.
Geng Zhiye handed her an egg: "I don't have tea eggs, so I'll make do."
Ye Fan stuffed the egg whites into his mouth and the egg yolks into his mouth. Geng Zhiye almost choked and quickly grabbed the enamel jar and took two sips of spicy soup.
Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh as he ate the food.
Geng Zhiye: "Look how worried you are."
"My parents are worried too. Even though my dad says to let things take their own course, he actually cares."
Geng Zhiye nodded: "He lives in the cadre compound, but most of them are retired cadres. When people talk about their daughter and grandchildren, they casually ask your dad if his daughter is not married yet. Your dad thinks of him and your mother a hundred years later. , Chen Xiaohui must feel uncomfortable being alone.”
Ye Fan looked at him quite unexpectedly.
Geng Zhiye snorted: "It's not like Chen Xiaohui is a stick, I still can't understand such a simple truth."
Ye Fan couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "I can tell, Dabao's mouth is something I inherited from you."
"It's normal for a son to look like his father." Geng Zhiye stuffed the remaining half of the bun into his mouth and pointed at the egg with his eyes. Ye Fan shook his head and Geng Zhiye peeled it off and ate it himself. Finally, Ye Fan broke off the remaining half of the steamed bun and ate it all.
Ye Fan felt that he hadn't eaten much: "Are you full?"
Geng Zhiye wiped his hands and poured a glass of water: "A little water will be enough."
"Your appetite really opened my eyes." Ye Fan said, "No wonder there are no leftovers in our family these years."
Geng Zhiye gave her the water glass and went to the bathroom to clean the lunch box and enamel basin.
Ye Fan took a sip of water and heard someone talking outside. He put on his flat shoes and went to the corridor where he saw several people holding national flags and holding on to ladders, studying how to hang them by the street lamp.
Geng Zhiye wiped his hands and came out. Several people were still studying.
Ye Fan wanted to laugh: "Why don't your soldiers look like you? They all look like slow soldiers."
Geng Zhiye: "I'm worried that if I hang it up today, it will be blown away by the wind tomorrow morning."
The people below looked up and saw the two people on the balcony on the fourth floor. They trembled with fright and urged their comrades to hurry up.
Seeing this, Ye Fan was worried that they would fall off the ladder due to nervousness, so he pulled Geng Zhiye back to the house: "Have you never failed before?"
Geng Zhiye shook his head: "I was reluctant to make so many national flags to hang all over the army. Last year, I had enough money, but I sent some people to the southern battlefield and didn't come back until the end of the year. During the National Day, I didn't have any thoughts here. Do it.”
"Isn't it not intense?" Ye Fan had seen relevant reports on TV.
Geng Zhiye: "There is no battle without bloodshed. Even if the enemy cannot touch them, they may still be injured by shrapnel."
"Does that mean this is the first time they put up lanterns and decorations this year?"
Geng Zhiye nodded: "Once raw and twice cooked, just hang this side and the others will be ready soon."
It was windy outside and Ye Fan didn't want to go out. After Geng Zhiye left, Ye Fan washed and cleaned Geng Zhiye's clothes and shoes. After working for more than an hour, he took it to the balcony to dry it. Everywhere he looked, the five-star red flag was fluttering in the wind.
Ye Fan smiled involuntarily and leaned on the balcony to watch for a while, planning to go back to the house to catch up on his nap. However, as soon as Ye Fan turned around, he heard "sister-in-law". Ye Fan turned around and saw a car parked downstairs. He thought it was the brave young officer, but took a closer look and saw Geng Zhiye's guard.
Ye Fan loudly asked him what was going on.
The guard came out of the car and asked her if she wanted to go out for a walk.
Ye Fan felt what Geng Zhiye had told him and waved his hand to let him rest. The guard drove to the office area. Ye Fan looked at his watch. It was almost eleven o'clock. I didn't find the lunch box when I was cleaning up the room, so I guess Geng Zhiye took it away and kept it for lunch, so Ye Fan went back to the house and lay down for a while, waiting for lunch.
The next day, Ye Fan didn't hear the wake-up whistle and was awakened by the national anthem. Ye Fan got up. It was bright outside, and she put on Geng Zhiye's coat and went out. The entire dormitory area felt empty to her, and the national anthem floated from a distance.
Ye Fan opened his mouth instinctively, but stopped before he could sing. Ye Fan realized later that the flag-raising ceremony was over. Ye Fan rubbed the corners of his eyes and thought to himself what time it was.
It was rare that he didn't have to worry about the company or the children, so Ye Fan went back to sleep.
Geng Zhuye came back and opened the curtains, and Ye Fan woke up. Geng Zhiye pulled her up: "I'm still sleeping after seven o'clock. Get up quickly to wash your face and eat."
Ye Fan sat up in confusion: "Have you eaten?"
"No. The food will get cold if we don't afford it."
Ye Fan often had stomachaches in his previous life because of his busy work, so he quickly got up after hearing this.
Geng Zhiye saw her naked face, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Are you going to wear makeup today?"
"What?" Ye Fan got angry when she heard this. That time she went back to the dormitory to brush her teeth, and when she looked in the mirror, she realized that her lipstick had been completely wiped off by a petty man.
Geng Zhiye: "Today is not suitable for heavy makeup."
"You still know about heavy makeup?" Ye Fan sneered, "On National Day, the whole country is celebrating, what kind of makeup is suitable for red makeup that is not suitable?"
Geng Zhiye opened his mouth: "But, but -"
"You help me choose a piece of clothing. If you are satisfied, I will listen to you."
Geng Zhiye ate immediately. After a few minutes, he took out all the clothes in Ye Fan's bag. Geng Zhiye's eyes lit up when he saw a separate package, and he carefully opened the package. It was a cheongsam with a small jacket. The coat is cream-colored, the cheongsam is elegant, and light makeup is a must. Geng Zhiye took it over immediately: "That's it."
Ye Fan nodded.
Geng Zhiye had a bad intuition, but he really didn't know what was wrong.
Ye Fan returned to the bathroom to wash his face, brush his teeth, apply a facial mask and put on makeup.
Geng Zhiye sat on a chair in the living room and waited.
Ye Fan asked: "Aren't you busy?"
"I have the most free time today." Geng Zhiye left everything to the political commissar and chief of staff early in the morning.
Ye Fan tied up his hair and put on a cheongsam, which felt a little cold. He put on a small coat and white high heels and walked to Geng Zhiye's side. He felt his eyes light up again, and a sentence flashed in his mind: "Clear water brings out hibiscus."
Geng Zhiye stood up suddenly.
Ye Fan went out carrying a small white bag. Geng Zhiye strode out and said, "Fanfan, Ye Fanfan, this outfit doesn't match the National Day. You should change into the red dress you were wearing before."
