twenty two(2/2)
The military plane was ready at the airport. Cheng Huaishu sent the last message before shutting down the plane, and all the roar of the wings were heard in his ears.
——
Tang Ning saw the news that night.
Cheng Huaishu only left a concise sentence: [Go to perform a task, turn off your phone, and wait for me to come back.
】
Due to the confidentiality of the task, he could not even keep the location.
Tang Ning read the message several times. It was obvious that the two of them were not together yet, but his tone seemed to be explaining his whereabouts to his girlfriend.
She shook her head, feeling that she had too much thought.
For nearly a month, Tang Ning has not received any news from Cheng Huaishu.
She felt empty and remembered his farewell in midsummer four years ago.
Could it be that I will miss another four years?
Forget it, let go of your obsession, and you can't force it.
Tang Ning once again learned to get used to the days without Cheng Huaishu in life. She would get together with Cheng Che and Cheng Xu when she had time, but she only treated them as family members.
Until mid-December, the performance group received a notice to rehearse the New Year's Day program.
The New Year's Day performance was very grand, and the number of programs was cut.
Finally, in the solo dance between Qin Xiaoxiao and Tang Ning, the superiors finalized the dance of Tang Ning after watching the rehearsals of the two.
This means that Qin Xiaoxiao's program that he was sure to win in Lincheng was temporarily won.
Qin Xiaoxiao was naturally unhappy and ran to the group leader to cry for a long time that day after receiving the notice.
But the leader had no choice. This was the decision of the superior leader, and he could only obey the arrangements.
Finally, Qin Xiaoxiao was furious and went straight to Tangning's training room to compete.
As soon as Tang Ning changed out of the dance training suit, he saw Qin Xiaoxiao coming in full force.
Compared to Qin Xiaoxiao's bluffing, Tang Ning calmly lowered his eyelids and stroked his cell phone a few times.
Qin Xiaoxiao said with a sharp voice: "Tang Ning, you bitch, what method have you used to steal the show that belongs to me?"
The more she scolded, the more ugly she heard: "What path did you use?
Did you sleep with Major Cheng or climb up some high point?
!”
Such speculation is not only full of maliciousness, but can even be said to be vicious.
After Qin Xiaoxiao scolded her enough, her eyes turned red, but she found that Tang Ning's face had not changed for a moment, and there was no angry or embarrassing expression on her fair and fair face.
Tang Ning pressed the recording pause button and let out a long sigh, not wanting to pay attention to Qin Xiaoxiao's anxiousness: "Are you finished scolding?"
Qin Xiaoxiao's face turned pale and immediately understood what Tang Ning wanted to do.
"Tang Ning, stop me - if you dare..."
"How dare you?"
Tang Ning was not afraid of her threat and had a bright smile, "Aren't these words you said?"
She had been tolerating Qin Xiaoxiao again and again. This time, the personal attacks and insults even involved Cheng Huaishu, so she would not be ruthless.
After the recording incident fermented, the performance troupe kept talking, and the leader quickly found Qin Xiaoxiao and frowned: "The organization felt that your thoughts were very problematic, and decided to be under the superiors. If you didn't understand it, you randomly blamed the other people in the performance troupe. You are slapping the leader in the face."
"Now I hope you go back and reflect and receive criticism and education."
The leader didn't want to say anything else after parting, and said coldly, "This time the quota for the grassroots level to visit Lincheng, the upper level will discuss and decide to change it to Tangning and Xia Tao."
Tang Ning's original intention was either to fight for a quota to go to Lincheng, or simply not wanting people like Qin Xiaoxiao to be proud of themselves, and it was impossible for them to endure other people's insults for no reason.
In the performance troupe, as long as she relies on her strength to gain a foothold, she is not afraid of being a problem.
Lincheng is in the southwest, surrounded by mountains and water, and has a pleasant climate. Because of its geographical location, transportation has always been very congested, and the economy can only satisfy the local self-sufficiency and some tourism industries.
The performance troupe is going to the grassroots level, performing for front-line officers and soldiers, and providing corresponding literary and artistic tutoring.
After getting off the plane, the sky in Lincheng will change as soon as possible.
Thunder sounded, dark clouds surging, rain continued to form a rain curtain, and the wind in winter was biting, and the cold really penetrated into the bones.
Fortunately, a specialist sent a business car to receive them.
Tang Ning put away his umbrella, sat in the back of the business car, and wiped the raindrops on his cheeks with a tissue. His already pure appearance looked even more outstanding.
The older reception team leader sat in the passenger seat and greeted her: "Xiaotang doesn't have a boyfriend yet, right?"
Tang Ning replied politely: "Not yet."
The team leader smiled in agreement: "What our performance troupe wants to go to is the Air Force Military Region in the southwest. You are so beautiful, if you think there is something suitable, you can get along with each other first."
Xia Tao also joined the camp of cheering: "Yes, bring a soldier to our performance troupe."
The car full of people smiled teasingly again.
Tang Ning was so upset that he pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
It was really strange. When she thought of the Air Force Military Region, what she saw was Cheng Huaishu, who was covered in a cold blue military style.
She took out her cell phone again, lowered her eyes, and moved from the interface of the text message to the heavy rainy car window.
The mountain road that the car was walking on was particularly rugged, and in a short while, it made people's eyes look like stars.
Xia Tao was holding the seat and was almost motion sickness.
Tang Ning patted her back, hoping to go to the accommodation to rest and adjust.
However, the weather was not good. When Tang Ning raised his eyes and thought he had arrived at the place, the car turned off. At first glance, it stopped in the wilderness.
The rain curtains remained, the strong wind slapped the windows, and the blessing of the storm added a lot of resistance to the situation where the car broke down.
The reception team leader sighed: "Oh, today is a bit unlucky-"
He asked the rest of the people to stay in the car for the time being, and before getting off the car, he told everyone: "I'll ask people from the military region to pick them up."
Xia Tao resisted the urge to vomit motion sickness, opened the window and blew the wind for a while, and the fine rain wet her collar.
But at least it diluted her dizziness and discomfort.
Tang Ning asked her to pillow on her legs for a while and waited for the military region to pick her up.
Soon, a steady military jeep appeared on the muddy mountain road.
There was a big puddle in front of their car, and the jeep was parked in front of the puddle, so that the wheels would not get stuck in.
The team leader of the reception team spoke excitedly, and came over in the rain excitedly, shouting: "The people sent by the military region are here, everyone get out of the car--"
Tang Ning helped Xia Tao down together and walked forward several steps. His shoes were soaked in almost muddy water. The cold chill stimulated his nerves.
The head of the reception team said to the people in the jeep: "Let the lesbians transfer first."
The car door opens.
The man was wearing a well-decorated military uniform, his legs were as sharp as scissors, and his military boots were crossed over the muddy and uneven ground.
He held a wide black umbrella, and the rain rolled down from the edge of the umbrella, like forming a natural barrier.
The umbrella covered his expression, and only the slightly raised and rolling Adam's apple was seen, ascetic and cold.
Cheng Huaishu asked Jiang Xiaoman to transfer Xia Tao to the jeep first, then directly flowed through the water puddle, and walked to the place where the vehicle broke down.
Tang Ning half-squatted, and the umbrella she was holding seemed to be blown by the strong wind at any time.
The little girl is like a poor little beast, unable to find a place to go in the wind and rain.
The mud spots splashed on some of them on the legs of the pants, but Tang Ning didn't care much. He just raised his eyes and a pair of military boots appeared in her sight, followed by the tall and straight figure of the man.
Tang Ning's heartbeat accelerated wildly, with surprises, and more unbelievable.
She muttered and shouted, "Little Uncle."
The ending sound is sweet and soft, and it is really like acting cute.
Cheng Huaishu walked up to her and circled people with one hand like a chicken.
Without letting her flow through the puddle, he walked through the little girl's legs and easily picked up the person up.
Chapter completed!
