good morning, sergeant

the next day.

Although Lushui Town is backward, it has also received countless gifts from nature. Because there is no industrial pollution, the sky here is blue and the clouds are white. Even the wild flowers and weeds on the roadside are green and pleasing to the eye, and the air is as clean as if it has been washed by water.

The chief arranged for Zhan Yiyang to come to this place, just to let him take the opportunity to think clearly about certain things and then let them go.

At eleven o'clock, a medium-sized truck stopped at the gate of Lushui Town High School, and the principal and school director welcomed him at the gate of the school.

Soon, the soldiers in military uniform got out of the car in an orderly manner and formed a straight line.

The last ones to get off were Zhan Yiyang and a sergeant major.

Under the introduction of the sergeant major, Zhan Yiyang shook hands with the principal and said hello, and then the principal said: "Major General Zhan, I will take you to the guest house to settle down first, and then go back to the school cafeteria for lunch."

Zhan Yiyang nodded and told the soldiers to follow the headmaster's footsteps.

The soldiers who came this time were of very high overall quality, strong in appearance but not intimidating. When they lined up in a straight line and walked neatly on the street, they were quite imposing and attracted the attention of passers-by.

After arriving at the hotel, Zhan Yiyang asked the soldiers to store their luggage, and he also went to his room.

Except for Zhan Yiyang and the sergeant major, who shared a room with each other, the other soldiers had twin rooms.

The room in the hostel is very simple, with a 1.2-meter wooden bed, a wooden desk and a wooden chair, and finally there is only a small cloth wardrobe.

But the view from the window is nice.

Zhan Yiyang opened the window and looked out, and he could see a large forest and a river, and the fresh air rushed towards him. If he calmed down, this kind of air could almost cleanse people's hearts.

But... nothing could save him—he knew it.

A few moments later, the sergeant major came and knocked on the door: "Major General Zhan, can we go?"

Zhan Yiyang gave an "um", picked up the military cap on the table, and left the room.

When the principal led everyone back to the school, the school kitchen was bustling with activity.

Most of the staff in the canteen are the wives of the school staff, some are responsible for cleaning the ingredients, some are responsible for disinfecting the tableware and cooking, and there is only one person in charge of cooking——

"Xiao Ning, hurry up, the director said that the principal and the others are already on their way back." An older sister urged.

Wearing an apron, Xiao Ning concentrated on frying vegetables in front of the stove. Hearing this, it took a while for her to react, and she turned her head slowly, saying "oh".

"Alas..." Even though she was used to Xiao Ning's slow reaction, the eldest sister in the cafeteria still couldn't help sighing.

The aunt who was cleaning the tableware caught her eyes on Xiao Ning's back, and shook her head: "He's a pretty good person, I don't know why he is like this."

"I don't know where she came from." The eldest sister said, "Looking at her delicate skin and tender flesh, she should be from a big city."

"Who knows." The aunt's tone was very regretful, "She is relying on Uncle He now, but Uncle He is already so old, what will she do if he dies someday? I think that Li Daquan will still beat her idea."

"..."

The discussions continued, but Xiao Ning never looked back at them, nor interrupted, as if she couldn't hear them at all.

In fact, the aunts and elder sisters in the cafeteria often talked like this, but Xiao Ning never paid attention to it, and everyone didn't know if she couldn't understand it, or for other reasons.

Soon, there was a sound of orderly and forceful footsteps outside the kitchen. Xiao Ning, who was frying the last dish, looked out suddenly, but her sight was blocked by the wall, and her expression slowly changed...

An aunt noticed Xiao Ning's change and asked her, "Xiao Ning, what's wrong with you?"

After a while, Xiao Ning said, "Footsteps."

Her voice was like a mosquito, and it took a while for the aunt to realize: "Oh, yes, someone is here."

"It's a soldier..." Xiao Ning said suddenly.

Xiao Ning usually speaks very little, and has never chatted with anyone. This is the first time she has spoken like this. The whole kitchen staff looked at her: "How do you know it's from a soldier?"

This time, Xiao Ning said without hesitation, "Military boots."

Everyone reacted - she knew that the person who came was military boots, because she heard the footsteps coming from military boots.

But how could she hear the sound of military boots?

An elder sister ran to the window to have a look, and saw that there were indeed more than a dozen soldiers coming in, and hurried back to the back kitchen: "It's really soldiers who came for military training, let's take out the dishes."

Xiao Ning took the last dish out of the pot, looked outside the door, and picked it up.

She wanted to go see those soldiers and ask them if they recognized the vague him in her mind.

She wanted to find that person, but after so long, he had never had her.

The braised pork smelled tempting, and Xiao Ning slowly walked towards the kitchen door with it.

Others say that she moves slowly, and sometimes she wants to be faster, but her body is not controlled by the brain, it is very slow.

Therefore, it took her a long time to reach the door of the back kitchen, and when she was about to step out, an older sister who turned back took away the dishes in her hand and said, "Go and rest, I will Just come."

In fact, the elder sister was afraid that Xiao Ning's movements would be too slow, which would confuse the soldiers.

Xiao Ning didn't seem to be able to realize what happened, she stared blankly at the elder sister taking away the dishes in her hand, without saying anything, she went back to the back kitchen silently, took off her apron, and left from the back kitchen.

Outside the kitchen, the soldiers had already started to move their chopsticks, and the principal and director were by their side.

"How is it? The food here tastes good, right?" The principal smiled. He was still very confident in the culinary skills of the unresponsive chef in the school.

"Yes." A soldier nodded, "The braised pork is very authentic."

Zhan Yiyang was talking about some arrangements with the sergeant major, but he didn't get involved in these topics. After a while, he moved his chopsticks to taste it. When the braised pork was in his mouth, he was stunned for a moment.

The taste...is really authentic, and...exactly like the taste made by Xu Rongrong.

But...how could it be Xu Rongrong?How could she be a cook here?

He remembered that Xu Rongrong said that she learned her cooking methods from recipes. If everyone cooks according to her recipes, the taste will be similar, so is it normal?

The sergeant major noticed Zhan Yiyang's pause and asked him, "Major General Zhan, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Zhan Yiyang didn't say any more, and concentrated on eating lunch.

"Well," the principal said suddenly, "since school just started today, the military training won't start until the day after tomorrow. In these two days, you can visit some interesting places in Lushui Town. Although we don't have any places of interest here, but There are still many good mountains and rivers.”

The simple soldiers thanked the principal, and after the meal, they took the initiative to pack up the tableware before leaving.

The afforestation of the middle school attached to Lushui Town is done very well, and the flowers and plants are also taken care of very well. Shuttle around the campus, the smiles on the faces of the soldiers are a little bit brighter.

Because I was free for more than one day, and this place was really good, the soldiers were ready to move, but Zhan Yiyang didn't speak, and no one dared to run out.

The sergeant major glanced at the group of young people behind him, and came over to Zhan Yiyang with a smile: "Major General Zhan, look at them..."

"Let them move freely." Zhan Yiyang said.

The sergeant major smiled and happily announced the news.

The soldiers cheered and walked out of the school.

Zhan Yiyang didn't follow them, firstly because he was not in the mood, and secondly because he followed, the group of soldiers would not let go of their play.

He walked to the gate of the campus alone, wanting to go back to the guest house.

Perhaps because of the noise problem, the teaching area and the dormitory of Lushui Town High School are clearly distinguished, and there is a cement road in the middle of the dormitory area, which separates the student dormitory from the teacher's dormitory far away.

At this moment, Zhan Yiyang was walking on that cement road.

As he walked, he didn't know what was leading him, so he suddenly looked back at the teacher's dormitory area.

Maybe it was because it happened to be lunch break, and there was no one there. When he looked over, he could only catch a petite figure and the man's long black hair. A second later, the man had turned around and entered the building.

He didn't have time to see anything clearly, but his heart stabbed inexplicably.

After a while, he laughed at himself for thinking too much——Xu Rongrong, she was no longer in this world, how could she appear here?

However, now that he saw a figure similar to hers, he still had a strange feeling.

Perhaps, this occasional stabbing pain will accompany him for the rest of his life.

Thinking about it, Zhan Yiyang quickened his pace, walked out of the school, went back to the guest house, sat in the small room and waited for the afternoon to arrive - in the afternoon when Tianning was out of school, he could call home.

At this time, Xiao Ning had already walked back to her dormitory on the fourth floor.

She walked slowly, so although the cafeteria was not far from the teachers' dormitory, she still walked for a while to arrive.

In fact, she is not considered a faculty member of the school, and logically speaking, she cannot be allocated a dormitory, but there is really no place for her to live in Uncle He's place, and the school just happened to have a dormitory vacant, so the school temporarily let her live in it.

She was very grateful, so grateful that she didn't dare to dislike the simple furniture in the dormitory.

In this place where she has no relatives, she is already very satisfied to have someone who can shelter her from the wind and rain and let her rest when she is tired.

After taking a bath, Xiao Ning lay on the bed.

She is very tired.

Uncle He said that her health is not good, and she feels it herself. Every time she prepares a meal, she has to rest for a while, and when she recovers, it is time to prepare the next meal. .

But that's good too, so she won't have extra time, anyway, she doesn't know how to spend the extra time.

After lying down, Xiao Ning couldn't fall asleep this time - she didn't know why the footsteps of those soldiers floated in her mind.

She always felt... very familiar.

However, she couldn't find any information from her mind.

Sometimes, she even forgets what happened a few days ago, let alone what happened so long ago.

After thinking for a long time, she just felt that she should find a way to meet those soldiers, maybe in this way, she would be able to find the answer.
