Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

Political Commissar Xu: "Aren't you in a hurry to wash up?!"

"I... am anxious, but please don't walk so fast, I can't keep up with you."

Speaking of Chengcheng, she felt a little angry. Logically speaking, her height was not short among the men in the art troupe, but she was still far behind.

His one step was two steps longer than hers, and the man walked with the wind, so how could she follow him?

It’s disgusting. Why do they have such long legs? It would be better to saw them off.

Political Commissar Xu did not say anything else, but he still unconsciously slowed down his pace to accommodate the people behind him.

In this way, the two people who were dawdling on the road finally arrived at Political Commissar Xu's home after walking for a while.

People who hold important positions on the island live in this area, while lower-level platoon leaders, company commanders, and battalion commanders live in another area.

Xiaoheishan Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, which creates its unique geographical features and insecurity.

If a typhoon hits or the enemy invades the island, it is easy to be attacked from all sides.

Therefore, soldiers live around the island to form a circle, which also serves to protect the safety of the island.

The officers' residences are also distributed in different locations so that there is always someone to respond to them.

Apart from Political Commissar Xu's residence, there is also Captain Shen's family. The two of them are the only two high-ranking officials on the island. Moreover, they have worked together for many years and graduated from the same military academy.

Our friendship is much deeper than that of others, and we understand each other.

"Come on, please come in."

Political Commissar Xu opened the iron gate, pushed it open, and stood sideways to welcome her.

Chengcheng walked into the large yard. There was nothing special about the construction of the yard. It was just an ordinary blue brick house.

What’s unusual is that you can hang clothes on the roof. Look at the roof of the yard next door, it’s full of clothes, quilts, etc.

There was nothing in the yard except a well, and even the road in the yard was a bumpy dirt road with no weeds or wild flowers. This showed how little the man cared about the environment.

"Political Commissar Xu, your yard is so empty. Have you ever thought about planting some flowers and plants?" Chengcheng asked the man curiously.

Political Commissar Xu was busy filling her bucket with water. While operating the well to pump water out, she replied, "I haven't thought about it. It's too troublesome to take care of those things."

"What's the trouble? It's just a matter of watering the plants every day," Cheng Cheng muttered softly.

Political Commissar Xu twitched his ears. He heard what was said. He looked up at Cheng Cheng and said, "Then I'll plant the plants tomorrow and you can water them every day. That's your reward for letting me fetch water from you."

Cheng Cheng snorted, "I'll plant whatever I want. I'm going to plant flowers all over this yard, and I'll let you stare at me and see how beautiful the flowers are!"

"Okay, that's what you said, but you and I agreed that this matter cannot be made public, including this well in my house."

"make a deal!"

The two quickly reached a consensus. Although Cheng Cheng didn't know why the man kept his own well hidden, he also thought that he might have dug it secretly. What if he told others to ask him to dig a well?

Political Commissar Xu is probably the kind of person who doesn't want to get involved in other people's business. This can be seen from the fact that he is too lazy to take care of the yard. He picks wild flowers and weeds but is unwilling to plant fresh flowers.

……

After fetching water, I simply washed up at Political Commissar Xu’s house.

Chengcheng didn't stay long. After all, the people in the art troupe were all going back at noon, and it would be strange if he stayed any longer.

She said she was not feeling well in the morning and ran out at noon. Doesn't that make people suspicious?

Political Commissar Xu walked behind with a bucket in his hand, saying, "I'll go back with you!"

"I'm so sorry. Thank you, Political Commissar Xu." Cheng Cheng stuck out his tongue and said sarcastically.

Seeing that she said sorry but there was no expression on her face, Political Commissar Xu knew that she was pretending.

But she is cute.

"Let's go. Remember to tell us that this water was drawn from the well on the island."

"I know, I know."

Chengcheng skipped out of the gate first and held the iron gate to make it easier for the man behind her to go out.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Just as the two of them closed the door and turned around to leave.

Captain Shen appeared.

He was wearing a blue navy uniform and holding a hat in his hand, obviously having just returned from training.

He said jokingly: "Hey, Old Xu, this... oh, right! Miss Cheng Qianfan, right? What are you doing?"

"Don't get me wrong, Captain. I came to get some water from Political Commissar Xu." Seeing the captain in front of him, Cheng Cheng hurriedly explained.

But she couldn't let the scandal between her and Political Commissar Xu get out at this juncture. If the women in the regiment got to know about it, they would tear her apart.

Furthermore, Political Commissar Xu did not have deep feelings for her. How could she act now that the man was avoiding her after this misunderstanding?

"Get water? You mean you went to her well to get water?!"

The regiment commander was even more shocked when he heard this. He pointed at Political Commissar Xu for a long time and was unable to speak.

Political Commissar Xu felt unhappy when he saw the obstacle in front of him. Why did he meet him?

"It's just getting some water, Lao Shen. What's the big deal? If you have anything to say, come back and we can talk in detail. I'll send the person back first."

"Okay, Old Xu, I'm waiting for your explanation." Captain Shen made way angrily.

Watching the two people walking further and further away, he returned home angrily.

Head of Shen's House

With a bang, the wooden door was knocked open.

Captain Shen's family suddenly stood up from the dinner table and said, "What's the matter? Who has offended you since you came back?"

"Don't worry about it, just eat your food!"

"Okay, I didn't leave any food for you, so go and take care of it yourself." Captain Shen sat back in his chair, eating a steamed bun while glaring at the man in the room.

What the hell is this? He comes back just to show off. He deserves it. Just starve to death.

The children at the table were so scared that they dared not eat and asked in a low voice: "Mom, Dad..."

Captain Shen's family touched their own child and said soothingly: "Huzi, eat yours, mother and I will eat more, and eat your father out of money and spend all his salary!"

"Okay, if you eat up all my food, go starve!" Captain Shen in the room threw the hat in his hand onto the bed unhappily.

……

On the other side, two people were still walking on the road.

Cheng Cheng was asking Political Commissar Xu, "What happened just now? Why did Captain Shen get angry when I said I was going to your house to get water?!"

She saw it clearly, and Captain Shen's face suddenly turned red, as if he was extremely angry.

Political Commissar Xu said with a smile: "Don't ask about these unimportant things. Just remember to come to my house every day to water my flowers."

Cheng Cheng: "Speaking of your flowers, they haven't been planted yet. You won't let me go water them tomorrow and not see anything, right?"

Political Commissar Xu: "There will be flowers. I will plant them before tomorrow. It depends on whether you can take good care of them."

Cheng Cheng: "Just plant it and I'll take good care of it."
