I don’t know if He Shanyun said something to the president, but no new tasks were assigned for several days. One afternoon, I went to the office to pick up something, and I heard someone quietly talking about her behind her back at the door.
"You have someone like Gu Mengmeng who is awesome, so you have to rest every day." He was a young military student who was in charge of the back office of the newspaper office. He had just been assigned to the newspaper office, and he still had a childlike look on his face.
"Tsk...there is nothing to envy. She just married an officer with a background and enjoyed the warmth of a big socialist family by relying on the power of her husband's family."
"I heard that her husband is even better than her. He is a famous special operations commander in the army and has been interviewed by the chairman."
"Do you think it's okay? With your life hanging on your waist all day long, maybe Gu Mengmeng will be a widow one day. A relative of my friend served gloriously in the special forces. He didn't even tell his family where he died. What's more,
Don't expect to see the corpse. A certificate of martyrdom and a bankbook are considered compensation."
"No way, it's so uncertain!"
"Lie to your grandson!"
The chirping voice became quieter.
Gu Mengmeng stood at the door for a long time, but finally did not go in to disturb the two gossiping colleagues. She returned to the editor's office and took the initiative to ask for work tasks.
The editor-in-chief looked at her with a smile and said, "Why, are you anxious?"
"Editor-in-Chief, you know I'm used to running."
The editor-in-chief remained silent and took out a folder from the drawer and handed it to Gu Mengmeng.
"Let's see if you can accept it. I specially reserved a good job for you, just because I'm afraid you won't go."
The words "Elna Assault" international scout competition are printed on the light blue cover. The content inside is that China was invited by France, Germany, and the United States, and 48 people from the three military regions of Beijing, Nanjing, and Jinan were invited by China.
Chinese special forces are going to Erna to participate in the annual military competition, and will also conduct on-site military confrontation exercises with special forces from these three countries.
In order to show its strength, the United States dispatched the ace special forces "Seal" commando team. "SEAL" commando team (SEAL) is the abbreviation of Sea (Sea), Air (Air) and Land (Land) in English. Its full name is
It is the amphibious force of the U.S. Navy. This means that the members of the "SEAL" team must not only perform underwater reconnaissance missions and land special operations missions, but also quickly go to the war zone by airborne. In fact, the U.S. "SEALs" do have this ability
Strength.
Although it was a field exercise this time, by coincidence, the Chinese special forces were in the same group as the American "Seals", and they finally found an opportunity to "fight" with the Chinese special forces.
Gu Mengmeng was excited and said, "Editor-in-Chief, I'm going!"
But the editor lowered his voice and reminded her: "As a newlywed, aren't you afraid of any objections from Commander Kang's family?"
"Don't be afraid!" How could she miss such a good job opportunity because of her children's affair?
The editor-in-chief nodded and said, "Don't worry, you can go back and discuss it with your family today, and I can reply tomorrow."
"Yes, editor-in-chief!" Gu Mengmeng stood up, saluted with a military salute, and went back happily.
Before dinner, she took the initiative to go to the supermarket to buy some fresh food and vegetables, and drove to the military compound.
When Aunt Wu opened the door and saw Gu Mengmeng, she couldn't help but smile. She said, "Singing Kang has gone to recuperate, and Madam is at home. Oh, Mengmeng, please be careful not to make Madam angry. She had a few fights with Chanhui in the afternoon.
To put it bluntly, I can stay in the bedroom alone and no one will call me."
Gu Mengmeng blinked and said she understood.
"What about...sister-in-law? Is she not at home either?" Looking at the quiet situation at home, she guessed that Liu Chanhui must not be here.
"I left early! I don't know what sin my wife has done to marry such a difficult person as my daughter-in-law!" Aunt Wu took the dish from Mengmeng's hand and sighed in a low voice.
Gu Mengmeng smiled and said nothing. She first went to He Shanyun's bedroom door, knocked lightly, and said, "Mom, I'm here. Mengmeng."
After a while, I heard a feeble response from my mother-in-law.
She returned to the landline in the living room and called Conway's cell phone again. Unexpectedly, Conway's deep magnetic voice came from the cell phone that had been turned off all afternoon.
"Hey, it's me, Awei."
The microphone was placed against her ear, and the low voice sounded like he was standing next to her. This feeling made Gu Mengmeng blush, and her heart began to beat rapidly.
"It's me, Mengmeng." She whispered.
Conway was shocked at first, then said in a relaxed tone: "Oh, wife. Do you miss your husband?"
After snorting, she still answered: "Yeah."
This is the first time they have contacted each other since he left Beijing and returned to the army. Gu Mengmeng is not a pretentious woman, so she almost never touches text messages.
And he seemed to be really busy. He had been missing for so long before there was any news from him.
"I have something to discuss with you." Now that you have found someone, let's get down to business.
"What do you want to say? My husband is all ears." Conway seemed to be chewing food in his mouth. Perhaps because he was talking to her on the phone, his tone seemed relaxed and natural.
"I have received an interview assignment for the "Elna Assault" international scout competition. I hope you can support me to go." Originally, he had several opportunities to take vacations before we parted, but now that she is gone, it will be difficult to meet.
.
He slowed down his chewing sound and paused for a while before saying: "Your newspaper is really interesting. You must follow Xu Sanduo's footsteps and go there for interviews!"
She has always enjoyed doing dramas on the stage, assaults on TV, and almost all of the well-known plots that have failed.
"It's different! This time we are in a group with the American "Seals". With such a wonderful competition on the same field, how could we, as the military's authoritative media, not follow up immediately?" Gu Mengmeng
Well-spoken words.
Conway sighed.
"To put it bluntly, you just want me to stay alone in the empty house. Gu Mengmeng, how can you bear to leave your newlywed husband behind?"
Gu Mengmeng didn't expect that he would really say that. She couldn't help but blush, and said with a hint of guilt: "I'll make it up to you when I come back."
"keep your word?!"
"Sure!"
"Okay then, go ahead."
"Hey..." he happily agreed, and just as he was about to pick up the phone, Conway's dissatisfied roar came from over there.
