Chapter 114: Wait
At night, the village was quiet, but on the path, a slender figure hurried into the courtyard of the village brigade towards a gust of wind.
It's almost nine o'clock in the evening, and the troops are going to turn off the lights.
Today, after she finished teaching the villagers, several villagers identified the unknown grass she picked during the day, and she found that it was a very precious medicinal material, and made a record and helped evaluate the price, which delayed the time.
Xu Jing hurriedly rushed into the courtyard of the village brigade, but the courtyard was still quiet and there was no sound.
Turning on the lock of the office, she walked to the phone, and then sat down, looking at the phone on the table in a bit of a daze, feeling a little depressed inexplicably.
Song Dongyue shouted that he wanted to be a soldier a while ago, and always asked his brother about things in the army, she heard Song Dongquan say that everyone would go to bed after nine o'clock.
Xu Jing looked at the pendulum clock on the wall and bit her lip.
It's already nine o'clock, and he didn't call, maybe he forgot again.
Even though she knew that he would not call again, she still did not leave, and sat in a chair and started to start.
The excitement, joy, and hope for the future all day turned into exertion when I was alone.
Xu Jing unconsciously lay on the table and closed her eyes tiredly while guarding the phone.
Was she too stubborn before? Since you miss him so much, you might as well listen to him and go with him.
......
In the night, liberation cars drove away from the gate of the troops.
Song Dongquan walked to a jeep with the information he had just received, followed by two high-ranking officers accompanying him.
He walked to the car, and someone had already opened the door for him.
But he stepped up with one foot and listened to the sound of the phone from the office not far away, but he unconsciously paused.
"Master Song, what's wrong?"
Seeing him like this, the accompanying officer asked curiously.
Song Dongquan closed his eyes, restrained the look under his eyes, and when he opened it again, he was already indifferent, he got into the car, and when he sat down, the fingers on his side were already clenched into fists.
"It's okay, let's go."
With a faint word, the military vehicle drove away from the compound at the fastest speed.
On the other side, Xu Jing held the phone, listening to the bursts of busy tones coming from inside, and the last bit of expectation also dissipated in the busy tones.
She put the phone down, and the bell rang in her ears.
She looked up, only to find that it was twelve o'clock in the evening.
She had just fallen asleep in her chair unknowingly, and he wouldn't call again at such a late hour.
It's stupid enough to think about yourself, who would call in the middle of the night if there is nothing to do, I can't get in touch today, and I still have a lot of time during the day tomorrow, so she is infatuated in the middle of the night?
There is no audience, so it's not worth it.
Xu Jing moved her stiff arm, grabbed the key on the table, and turned around and walked out.
Closing the old wooden door, Xu Jingcai unscrewed the lock through the iron keyhole on the door, and was about to close the lock, but his body stiffened suddenly.
"Suzu—"
The sudden ringing of the phone broke the silent night, and also made Xu Jing's blood rush to the top of her head, as if at this moment, the thick ink night that lingered in front of her eyes slowly receded, and she looked at her hand holding the lock very clearly, trembling constantly.
The phone rang......
"Suzu—"
The piercing phone ringing seemed to be heavenly at this moment, breaking the peace again, and even more so that the stunned Xu Jing came back to his senses.
She hurriedly removed the lock from the door, hurried to the phone, grabbed the phone, and asked in a trembling voice, "Hello?" ”
"Xu Jing, I'm Song Dongquan."
The man's calm and cold voice came from the phone, which made Xu Jing's eyes red unconsciously, but the corners of her lips unconsciously raised, "I know." ”
On the other side of the phone, the corners of Song Dongquan's lips also drew a warm arc after hearing Xu Jingzhen's sincere voice.
He also knew that the person answering the phone on the other side must be her.
"These days, how are you doing?"
"Both...... It's all good, don't worry. ”
Xu Jing stabilized her mood, and the thousand words she wanted to say were suppressed, and only one sentence was very good. He called so late, it shouldn't have been on purpose, he might have something, she shouldn't bother him with trivial things at home.
"Then why did you call me the other day?" Song Dongquan didn't believe it, and he asked uneasily, "Is it really okay?" ”
"It's a little thing, but it's all settled now."
"What's the matter?"
Xu Jing stared at the phone, she knew that he would get to the bottom of it, so she simply said directly: "I have taken a fancy to a courtyard in the city and want to buy it, but I don't have enough money in my hand, and I want to spend your money, so I can't ask you." ”
"But don't worry, I didn't move in the end, and let Chen Shujie and Ruan Chengyi help, and it has been solved." Xu Jing hurriedly explained that she didn't want to give him the impression of squandering again.
The previous Xu Jing was enough to annoy him.
Unbeknownst to him, there was a dissatisfied reprimand on the phone: "Xu Jing, I think it is necessary for me to emphasize our relationship with you again." ”
Listening to the man's angry questioning, Xu Jing was a little dazed, "Huh? ”
"We have now received the certificate, we are husband and wife! You can spend my money at any time, I said, everything I have is yours, don't look for me when you are in trouble, but go to other men, are you deliberately disgraced to me? ”
"I, I see."
It turned out that she felt that she had disgraced him.
Xu Jing thought so in her heart, but the smile on the corner of her lips still increased a little unconsciously.
She knew that he cared about her.
Song Dongquan's face improved when he heard Xu Jing answer obediently, but after thinking about it, he still said, "I'm sorry, I have a bad attitude." ”
"If you like the house, you can buy it, don't hesitate."
"I know that I am not at home all the year round, and I can't solve all the problems you encounter, it has worked hard Xu Jing, but for money, as long as I have it, I hope you can rely on me."
"It's really a trouble that can't be solved, you go to Shujie and Chengyi again, but you give me a straight face, and I'll pay it back later, understand?"
"Understood, understood, when did you become such a mother-in-law, I will go and spend all your money tomorrow."
Xu Jing said funny.
On the other side, Song Dongquan's hand holding the phone slowly tightened, he naturally knew how difficult it was for Xu Jing to be at home alone, and there were many things that he couldn't reach.
He glanced at the jeep waiting outside, suppressed the tension in his voice and said to the phone: "Xu Jing, I want to leave tonight." ”
The smile on the corner of Xu Jing's lips stiffened, and the hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously, "Do you have another task?" ”
What answered her on the phone was the silence of the man.
He couldn't say.
Xu Jing bit her lip and asked, "How long will it take, isn't it dangerous?" ”
"It's probably going to take a long time, I can't call you anymore, you take care of yourself at home."
Song Dongquan saw that Zhao Qingshan had returned in a hurry next to the jeep outside, he pinched the phone, looked at the deep night in the distance, and assured in a firm tone: "Don't worry, I will come back alive to ask you for the final answer, wait for me." ”
The phone hung up, and he walked out of the office and quickly returned to the car.
Zhao Qingshan saw Song Dongquan come out with a calm face, and asked a little curiously, "Who are you calling here?" ”
Song Dongquan ignored him at all, got into the car directly past him, and asked lightly, "Have you brought all the things this time?" Check again, time is pressing, don't toss back and forth. ”
Zhao Qingshan: "......"
It's like you didn't use the time to make a phone call.
But he didn't dare to argue that it was indeed he who left important information in the office, and they had to return halfway through.
The car quickly drove out of the gate of the troops.
Village Brigade.
Xu Jing slowly put down the hand holding the phone, and the smile on her face had long since dissipated.
Where did that man reassure her, it simply made her scared.
He's on a mission again, and it should be dangerous.
But his tone was full of confidence, and his ability made Chen Shujie and Ruan Chengyi both admire, he should be able to handle it.
Xu Jing slowly walked out of the village brigade office, and after locking the door, he sighed.
The distance was too far for her to help, so she could only think about it here, and there was no point.
When she settles down at home, I'll go to him again.
