Chapter 239: Chapter 183 The End of the New Recruit Period_2

Seeing Zhou Mikang now, she couldn’t help but sneer inwardly, what a petty man!

Originally, she really hadn’t thought much about it, but after running around these past few days, she had come to understand why he had arranged a master for her so early.

That way, she could be farther away from Jing Zhe!

Even Liu Meijun pitifully said to her, it was hard to tell if this was good luck or just a hassle. While everyone else sat comfortably in the classroom listening to lectures, she had to get up early and run to find Leng Luo. Well, the only benefit was, such training would make her body stronger and stronger.

Without direct competition, there wasn’t much upheaval, so after the initial envies about her dumb luck faded, seeing how busy she was daily, like a dead dog, everyone’s bit of jealousy also dissipated completely.

Compared to her, they were much more fortunate, seeing the handsome Teacher Jing every day, and being able to properly learn medical knowledge. Then, after two months, once the exams were over, they could decide whom to follow and learn from, whether to be a doctor or a nurse.

Although uncertain, there was something to look forward to.

Unlike her, just being neglected by the teacher like that, it’s too pitiful!

Alright, there’s that saying again, where there’s competition, there’s jealousy. Now, everyone’s envious gazes were all turned to Wu Jingbo. Why was it that she was the one settled to be by Teacher Jing’s side so early?

Teacher Jing belongs to everyone!

The jealousy of girls can sometimes be scary. I’ve heard that these past few days, Wu Jingbo’s bed has been oddly home to some mysterious items from time to time.

For example, crawling earthworms, wriggling grubs, jumping frogs... Even though Wu Jingbo, who had been learning traditional Chinese medicine since childhood, was not afraid of these things, it’s not about fear – it’s disgusting to find them in your bed!

After some time, Chuxia, who felt like she was about to collapse from running every day, finally received a letter from her father and mother, stating that the big tile-roofed house back home had been built.

In a single night, it was furnished with more furniture, and there was also a bicycle and a sewing machine. Many people in the village went to see it, their eyes nearly popping out with envy.

Those were brand new bicycles and sewing machines!

Just as expected, Old Master Lin and Old Lady Lin paid a visit, solemnly declaring to Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan that the bonds of blood could never be broken!

The implication was clear: thinking about not dealing with them? Not a chance!

Her father, Lin Baohe, was very supportive and told the old couple directly that he had never intended to break off the kinship. If anyone needed severing, it was them. It was they who had spoken those words, they who had acted, and now they showed up at the door thinking of taking advantage of his daughter; there was no way!

He also said that he would fulfill his duty as a son to the end, promising the allowance he agreed to give to the old couple every year would not be a penny short.

As for anything else, they might as well save their worries.

The old couple deliberately touched the shiny new cabinets, implying that if they could use such furniture in this lifetime, they would die content.

Lin Baohe didn’t play dumb either, saying the house was built by the son-in-law. Considering how they used to treat his daughter, if they had the cheek to live there, he would be too embarrassed to let them...

Seeing this line in the letter, Chuxia burst out laughing. Her dad was also smart; if he said that as long as the old couple had the nerve to come and stay, they would definitely move in with their luggage in tow.

Anyway, the letter from her mother just told her that all was well at home, and asked her not to worry.

The next day she saw Luo Xiaoqiong, who had also received a letter from Uncle Gangshun and Fat Auntie, with a similar message to the one Zhao Yulan had written. However, they still reported only the good news, not the troubles.

For example, since nobody had seen Zhou Mikang, there were all sorts of speculations about the Lin Family’s sudden son-in-law, even guessing his age from the forties up to the seventies, and assuming disabilities from limping to blindness...

Dagang’s grandpa helped to clarify, but the villagers didn’t believe it.

In any case, the general consensus was that with such good conditions – the villagers didn’t know that Chuxia had married a battalion commander, they were just judging from the construction of the house – someone so eager to build a big tile-roofed house for the bride’s family must have some flaws, how could it be otherwise?

Facing such speculation, Luo Xiaoqiong was so angry her nose was crooked, but Chuxia just smiled it off. Let them think what they will, sooner or later she would bring Zhou Mikang back home openly, and let everyone see for themselves how old he really was, whether he was crippled or blind!

In the meantime, the classes re-elected their squad leaders, or perhaps knowing that after three months everyone would go their separate ways, no one was that eager for the position anymore.

Anyway, after a democratic election in Class Three, the squad leader was still Qiao Ningyi. As for the other classes, it was mostly the incumbent leaders who were re-elected.

The relationships within the group remained more or less the same as at the beginning, Yuan Mengmeng still keen on picking faults, and Zhang Erniu still as servile as ever.

Three months later, the day that would decide everyone’s fate finally arrived.

Chuxia and Wu Jingbo, although already determined where their paths led, still had to join everyone in taking the exam, to put a period on their three-month rookie career.

Rarely, when Chuxia asked for leave to take the exam, Song Xiaoyu looked at her seriously: "Do well in the exam, don’t discredit me."

Caught off guard, Chuxia felt a bit honored as she nodded, "Yes, thank you, Teacher."

After she left the room, a smile broke out on Song Xiaoyu’s face as she dialed Old Madam Zhou’s number: "Aunt Zhou, I think this child is really quite good. Can we end this test of yours now?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while before the reply came: "Let’s wait and see."

Song Xiaoyu could only hang up the phone in resignation and, upon reflection, dialed Zhou Mikang’s number. (To be continued.
