As soon as Su Mian got in the car, she could not help laughing. Wei Zhen Hui’s patient tolerance just now pleased her. She finally caught his weakness. From now on, if he dared to bully her again, she would tease him. As long as she pretended to be serious, Wei Zhen Hui would not do anything to her.
In the afternoon, Wei Zhen Hui went to assist the rescue as usual and did not come back until late. After eating, he lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He asked the first team leader to redress his wound. His fingers were as rough as a wooden branch and made Wei Zhen Hui’s wound hurt even more. His wife’s little hand, tender and soft, felt much more comfortable when applying it…
When he thought of Su Mian, Wei Zhen Hui felt even less sleepy, so he just got up.
The first team leader had already fallen asleep so was stunned when Wei Zhen Hui pulled him outside. He knew that he had offended the battalion commander during the day, but this was the middle of the night. What was the battalion commander doing not sleeping?
Next to him, the second team leader was even more panicked. He took the first team leader’s head and clipped his ears, “It’s all your fault, causing trouble all day. Did you offend the commander again for him to drag us out in the middle of the night?”
“The battalion commander doesn’t want the two of us to practice alone!”
“Do you have any brains? This is a time of emergency. Whatever you do, rest assured that as soon as we return to the troops, the battalion commander will drill you first! Be more mindful when doing things in the future. This morning, the battalion commander miserably sent his wife away. Yet you made her go into the rubble. It was very dangerous today. If anything happened to the battalion commander and sister-in-law, you wouldn’t even have anywhere to go to cry!”
The first team leader scratched his head. What happened today was his fault, he should have stopped sister-in-law.
“You two come with me.”
At Wei Zhen Hui’s order, the two of them fell silent and followed Wei Zhen Hui.
However, where was the battalion commander going so late at night? It took the first team leader a long time before he reacted. They were outside the canteen. Did the battalion commander not eat enough at night?
The second team leader was also stunned. What did the battalion commander come here for?
Wei Zhen Hui crouched on the ground and pointed at two grains of rice stuck on the wall, “First team leader, tell me, what is the meaning of these rice grains stuck on the wall?”
The first team leader stared at the two rice grains on the wall and gulped, “Battalion commander, I was not the person in charge of cleaning the garbage tonight. Have you forgotten, I went to the disaster relief site in the afternoon.” The first team leader finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that the battalion commander wanted him to steal food from the kitchen.
“Look at how dry these rice grains are. Are you sure it was tonight? I think it was last night. You did not clean it up well!”
“Battalion commander, I… This….”
“What are you in a daze for? Go get a shovel and pack basket quickly.” The second team leader pushed the first team leader. This silly boy, could he not see that the battalion commander could not sleep and had nothing to do?
“Oh, I’m going now.” The first team leader was puzzled, what had happened to the battalion commander tonight? He ran around to the back of the canteen to get a shovel and a pack basket. Then he placed the two grains into the pack basket…
Wei Zhen Hui walked forward again and the two of them followed, “Over there, who threw the toilet paper? Clean it up.”
The first team leader scuttled over and put the toilet paper into the pack basket.
The three of them walked around the base for two hours and cleaned up all the rubbish. Now, let alone a grain of rice, there was not even any bacteria.
“I still don’t understand. The battalion commander couldn’t sleep, so he made us walk with him for a while…”
The first team leader suddenly realised, “Sister-in-law has left and there’s no one to toss him around, so we’re the ones being tossed around…”
