Yu Zhen was leading Lin Xiang to He Xuexiang to inquire about sothing. As soon as He Xuexiang heard their purpose, he imdiately grumbled, "Why are you asking about this?"
"Just tell us if you know him or not," said Yu Zhen.
He Xuexiang nodded, "I know him."
Unable to hold back, Lin Xiang asked, "Where is he from?"
He Xuexiang looked at Lin Xiang and asked, "Who are you, Miss?"
Lin Xiang realized she had been sowhat impulsive, and she felt embarrassed.
"Oh, she’s my cousin, my aunt’s daughter. She graduated from dical school and has just been transferred to our unit as a military doctor," Yu Zhen introduced. "Mr. He, can you give us a brief on Gao Jiaxing?"
He Xuexiang’s gaze flickered slightly, "Gao Jiaxing is already seeing soone."
"He’s already in a relationship," both Yu Zhen and Lin Xiang paused.
He Xuexiang added, "He and his partner are very close."
Disappointed, Yu Zhen and Lin Xiang left. He Xuexiang watched their retreating figures in silence. Today, Gao Jiaxing had secured the first place and had been promoted to platoon leader. He Xuexiang certainly didn’t hope that Gao Jiaxing would get involved with Mr. Yu’s connections anymore.
A sister of Mr. Yu would surely marry well. If Gao Jiaxing got in with that family, he would always be above him and his brothers. Plus, He Xuexiang had clearly seen Mr. Yu’s admiration today, and he really didn’t want Gao Jiaxing to have such an opportunity.
But He Xuexiang didn’t know that Gao Jiaxing had already clung to a powerful backer; otherwise, he wouldn’t know what to think now.
Elsewhere, Gao Jiaxing was leaving with Liu Yuanchao and their peers on a truck, starting to request leave.
Liu Yuanchao only granted half a month. Gao Jiaxing felt that was too little, and they haggled back and forth.
Finally, Liu Yuanchao said, "You’re going back to get married, and so am I. Half a month each, otherwise who will manage the troops?"
Liu Yuanchao had always wanted to groom Gao Jiaxing as his right-hand man. Now that Gao Jiaxing had been promoted to platoon leader, it beca even more official.
Gao Jiaxing’s eyes nearly bulged out, "You’re getting married? When?" He had kept it quite secret.
"Around the sa ti as you," Liu Yuanchao said.
anwhile, back at the Guangming Production Team, Gao Guoqiang had just given everyone a day off to rest.
As Xia Xiao thought about these things, Ning Hui ran back and said, "Xia Xiao, Gao Jiaxing is back. I just left his house and ran into him."
"Really?" Xia Xiao’s eyes lit up, eager to step outside, but then she thought that since Gao Jiaxing had just returned, he should spend quality ti with his family, catching up. It felt inappropriate for her to intrude so quickly, so Xia Xiao stopped herself at the door and went back inside.
"Aren’t you going to see Gao Jia?" Ning Hui asked, puzzled.
Xia Xiao shook her head with a smile, "He hasn’t been with his family for two years. Let him have a good reunion. I won’t disturb them."
Ning Hui nodded and then said to Xia Xiao, "I’m going ho. I just went to say goodbye to your aunt."
"Ah, when? You didn’t ntion it," Xia Xiao said, surprised.
"I’m leaving now," Ning Hui said.
"Now, so soon?" Xia Xiao was shocked by the suddenness, "You’ve been away from ho for so long, you should visit, but have you gotten your paperwork?"
Ning Hui nodded, "He gave it to ."
Her voice sounded sowhat forlorn. Xia Xiao wasn’t sure how to comfort Ning Hui, but still felt that Ning Hui should go ho to see her family.
"Does he know you’re going back?" Xia Xiao asked further.
Ning Hui shook her head, "Maybe not, I didn’t tell him."
Imdiately, Ning Hui began packing her luggage, though she had little to take. Xia Xiao handed her two jars of pickles saying, "When you go ho, I don’t have much to give you, but here are two jars of pickles I made. Take them with you. I don’t know if you’ll co back, but rember and don’t forget about , okay?"
At this mont, Xia Xiao felt sowhat lancholy. Ning Hui wasn’t an educated youth from here, and once she left, it was uncertain if she would return and when they might see each other again.
