147: Chapter 124 Chuxia’s Mother’s Misunderstanding_2 147: Chapter 124 Chuxia’s Mother’s Misunderstanding_2 Zhou Mikang furrowed his brows, “I asked you afterwards if you wanted to do clerical work or actually be a dical staff, didn’t you hear?”
“Sorry, I was a bit distracted just now…” Chuxia stood up, took the thermos, and filled Zhou Mikang’s cup with water, “Thank you, Commander, for your kindness.
It’s all my fault, hehe…”
Zhou Mikang looked at Chuxia, who suddenly beca obsequious, and was speechless.
“Right, you said clerical work or dical staff, which clerical position?
Which dical position?”
This response…
Zhou Mikang rubbed his forehead with a headache, but then he let it go, considering she was just a young girl about to turn eighteen.
Although a bit unusual, her youth and rural upbringing ant she hadn’t seen much of the world, so her current deanor was actually quite good…
If Chuxia knew how the commander was making excuses for her, she would definitely be frustrated.
How could she not have seen the world?
She had seen much more of it than him!
“You don’t know anyone else here; for clerical work, you’d go to the main hospital and work with Luo Xiaoqiong.
As for dical staff, you have two choices, either the main or the branch hospital.
Your second aunt is the deputy director at the branch and could take good care of you.”
This arrangent was quite considerate.
In that mont, Chuxia sowhat ca to terms with Zhou Mikang not letting her assist Jing Zhe.
However, after collecting her thoughts, she looked at him earnestly, “Thank you for thinking so much for , but I still want to try and make it on my own first.
I’m only seventeen.
I don’t want to start following a path set out by you from now on.
Even if I am to marry you, you would just be my husband, not my parents.
I don’t want to depend too much on you for everything.
I believe you wouldn’t betray , but that doesn’t an I should lose my independence and follow everything you arrange.
You understand that, right?”
“Okay!” he agreed heartily, “I only made these arrangents because your health isn’t very good, and after all, you’re going to be my wife, so I must learn to consider things on your behalf more.”
“Thank you!”
“Don’t be so formal with ,” Zhou Mikang said earnestly, staring at her, “Lin Chuxia, it’s not that I don’t like you at all.
Otherwise, with my personality, I definitely wouldn’t marry you.”
“You…” Chuxia looked at him confusedly, “Wasn’t your original point just to keep my expectations low?
Weren’t you implying that you can provide everything materially, but not emotionally?”
“Which ear heard say that?” Zhou Mikang’s voice suddenly filled with anger.
Chuxia shrank back, frightened: “You…
you didn’t say it explicitly, but…
but that was the gist.” It was not easy to say this under his daunting presence!
Being with him felt like when she was in primary school dealing with a teacher.
How could they live together as husband and wife…, “I’m going back.” Chuxia quickly stood up, and without waiting for him to say anything, she moved towards the door.
With a rueful tug at the corner of his mouth, Zhou Mikang muttered quietly, “Co back here!”
“Is…
there sothing else?” Chuxia grinned sheepishly, “There’s soone waiting for in the playground, I need her to cover for , it’s a bit cold.”
“Go ahead.” Zhou Mikang waved his hand, and Chuxia darted out like a rabbit.
With a resigned sigh, Zhou Mikang flipped open his notebook…
and spaced out!
…
Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe, together with Fat Aunt, were working in the field, when Luo Gangshun ca over with a big smile and quick steps: “The kids sent letters.” He handed one to Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe and another to Fat Aunt, “I’ve read them already, now you do.”
Zhao Yulan’s hands trembled as she opened the letter, with Lin Baohe breathing heavily beside her.
Ever since Chuxia left, the couple hadn’t stopped worrying about her.
Usually working with Fat Aunt, their conversations mostly revolved around their concern for their children—especially Hongqi.
A few days ago, Zhong Hongying received a letter from Hongqi.
Fat Aunt, who had never liked Zhong Hongying, specially went to ask Zhong Hongying if there was any ntion of her daughter and Chuxia in the son’s letter.
The answer, of course, was disappointing.
Even more so for Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe.
With only one daughter, whose health was a bit frail, Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe’s concern for Chuxia was certainly greater than that of Fat Aunt and Luo Gangshun.
Now that they had finally received a letter from their daughter, one could imagine how excited the couple was!
Luo Gangshun had already stepped closer, seeing that Zhao Yulan was taking a long ti to open the letter, he took it from her, opened it, unfolded it, and handed it back to her.
Reading the letter, obviously, involved three heads huddled together.
With the two families being so close, and Chuxia nearly becoming their daughter-in-law, as well as being sowhat unsatisfied with the vague details in the daughter’s letter, Luo Gangshun felt no pressure in reading Chuxia’s letter.
From boarding the train, to arriving at the garrison, to the specifics of her arrangents, and her eting with Hongqi, Chuxia had listed everything clearly.
“Chuxia is so sensible, unlike that girl Xiaoqiong; just two sentences and she and her mother got angry.” As he read, Luo Gangshun couldn’t help but sigh.
Fat Aunt joined in, looking quite vexed, “Let see after you’re done.
That darn girl wrote only two lines, and ‘Dad, Mom’ took up one of them.”
“…Dad, Mom, there’s sothing I need to discuss with you.
Our unit’s commander wants to marry him; he’s a battalion commander.
If I don’t marry him, it’s likely I won’t be able to stay in the army.
But you don’t need to worry; he’s not a bad person.
Once things are settled, I’ll write to you again.”
Reading this last part, Zhao Yulan felt her head explode.
Was her daughter being beautiful a cri?
Being forced to marry at ho, and now, just days after arriving at the base, soone was targeting her again?
A battalion commander, how old could he be?
If not staying in the army ant not marrying an old man, then so be it!
At this mont, she didn’t even rember that the battalion commander who last visited was only in his twenties…(To be continued.
