Chapter 1748: Chapter 1149: Reinforcements (2)

A moment ago, Zhao Bingbing was in a hurry and quickly stepped back, and inadvertently stamped hard on Lv Xiaomei’s foot...

"No problem..." Lv Xiaomei forced a smile, "I can tell if it’s bruised, but I haven’t recovered yet. I’ll be okay in a bit."

Chuxia pointed to the two female soldiers who came in with her and introduced: "Let me introduce everyone, this is Zhao Zhu, and this is Li Meifeng. They are also living in our dormitory, and we will be a group in the upcoming activities."

Li Meifeng was a serious-looking girl with a square face. After Chuxia introduced her, she nodded at everyone, considering that as her greeting.

Zhao Zhu had a round face, two dimples when she smiled, clearly easy to get along with. She was more outgoing than Zhao Zhu, and after smiling at everyone, she introduced herself and Zhao Zhu in detail: "The two of us were previously in the Medical Second Team. Considering that everyone just arrived and is unfamiliar with the situation, we were sent to join your team six. From now on, we are comrades. Please take care of us."

"It’s us who should be asking you to take care of us." Zhao Bingbing quickly said, "It’s an honor for our seniors to join us. By the way, you’ll both be staying here too, right?"

Zhao Zhu nodded with a smile: "Of course, just squeeze the quilts together and it will work. The conditions here are like this, so we ask everyone to bear with it a bit."

While they chatted, Lv Xiaomei had already run to her bed, folded her quilt in half: "This is how I sleep at home, I’m used to it. It saves some space."

"Alright, let’s squeeze together. It will be warmer and more lively." Zhao Bingbing followed suit, folding her quilt and moving it inward. She then looked at Chuxia and Wu Jingbo, "If you also fold yours, there will be enough for two more beds."

"No need to be so troublesome." Li Meifeng said while walking to the end of the mass bed, starting to move the quilts. Due to special circumstances, a row of beds was placed in one tent, fitting exactly twelve people. Now, with Zhao Zhu and Li Meifeng joining, it makes it fourteen. With two extra people, moving each quilt in slightly should make enough room.

"What are you doing?" A long-faced female soldier came in, saw Li Meifeng moving the quilts, got anxious, and grabbed Li Meifeng’s arm in protest, "Why are you touching my quilt?"

"There are two more people in this tent, we need everyone to move their quilts a bit..." Li Meifeng, looking at her indifferently, took a step back. "Since you’re back, why not move it yourself."

"Why should our tent hold fourteen people when others have twelve?"

"There’s no reason for it, it’s the rule." Li Meifeng clapped her hands and walked back to Chuxia and the others, "Everyone, hurry and move your things, no need to wait for the team leader to come and then act."

At the mention of the team leader, the agitated female soldier immediately settled down and obediently moved her quilt inwards, looking at the one sleeping next to her, "It’s your turn, hurry over."

In no time at all, the space was made, leaving Chuxia open-mouthed and astounded.

When Li Meifeng started moving things, she wanted to stop her. After all, it was wrong to move someone’s belongings when they weren’t back. She hesitated, but thought since they had just met and were there to protect her, acting superior seemed inappropriate. So, she did nothing.

When the long-faced girl came and protested, she regretted it. People sent by Zhou Mikang were definitely not to be underestimated, and if things became tense, it would certainly reflect on her. She didn’t want to start off by making people talk.

Unexpectedly, before she finished worrying, the situation suddenly turned around, resolving peacefully.

This further taught her that in the future, when pondering issues, she should not rely on her own ideas, but consider the typical mindset of people from that era.

Especially since everyone had just arrived—who would dare to upset a leader over such trivial matters? People nowadays are not like those from her time, unwilling to put up with any grievances.

With Wu Jingbo and Zhao Bingbing’s family backgrounds in consideration, and being smart as they were, it was obvious to them what was up with the two female soldiers accompanying Chuxia.

Thus, in subsequent times, all activities saw Wu Jingbo and Zhao Bingbing actively inviting Zhao Zhu and Li Meifeng along.

After dinner, while three of them went to the restroom together, Chuxia took the chance to thank Wu Jingbo and Zhao Bingbing. They’re not fools; being straightforward about some things is better than hiding them.

"You’re saying that because you don’t consider me a friend, right? The way your Division Commander arranges things, I genuinely envy, but I definitely don’t think he’s playing favorites. After all, there are too many threats around you, and it’s better to be cautious. Besides..." Zhao Bingbing blinked her big eyes with pride, "We happen to benefit from this, it’s such a joyful thing! You’re thanking us, when actually we should be thanking you!",

"Exactly, it’s a rare opportunity that must be cherished. It’s been ages since Xiaoqiong wasn’t competing with us, I really want to flatter you well. Being around the Division Commander’s Wife, there’s definitely meat to eat and soup to drink." Unexpectedly, Wu Jingbo joined in the joke.

"Alright, then make sure you stick with me. When there’s meat and soup, I definitely won’t leave you behind." Chuxia cheekily agreed, adding, "But if there’s no meat and soup, don’t blame me!"

Zhao Bingbing smiled back at her: "Don’t worry, we made the choice ourselves, no reason to blame you. I’m curious though, with you and your husband separated for so long, shouldn’t you go and see the Division Commander?" (To be continued.
