Zhang Ming returned to the dormitory.

There were six bunk beds neatly arranged in the room. Today, the deputy commander wanted to talk to him about something, and the commander called him to chat for a while, so he came back only now. He was afraid of waking up others, so he wanted to go to bed quietly. Unexpectedly, a head popped out from the bunk on the left and called him, "Hey, Zhang Ming."

The man smiled, his mouth wide open, "I heard that Li Tuan introduced you to someone?"

Zhang Ming cursed in a low voice, then strode over, grabbed his comrade's head, locked the speaker's throat, and asked, "How did you know?"

The man begged for mercy, "It wasn't me, it was Tian'er who said that."

At this time, Zhang Ming, who was called on the upper bunk, propped up his head and laughed at him, and then everyone moved.

Zhang Ming scolded, "So you guys didn't sleep at all!"

"Hush, keep your voice down."

His comrades tried to stop him, saying, "Why are you talking so loudly in the middle of the night? Do you want to go out for a weighted run?"

Zhang Ming lowered his voice, but was still a little annoyed, "Tian'er, what did you tell them?"

Zhao Tian glanced at his brother who betrayed him, then looked at Zhang Ming and smiled, "He didn't say anything, just what I heard."

Zhang Ming threw a pillow over and asked, "Were you eavesdropping on my conversation with Li Tuan?"

Zhao Tian caught the pillow and said, "I was also in the office at the time, squatting on the floor to finish the work. Neither of you saw me, so how can you say that I was eavesdropping?"

Someone said, "Zhang Ming, why are you so angry? There is nothing you can't say."

"That's right, introducing someone to someone, it's a great event."

Zhang Ming looked at the person on the upper bunk and cursed, "You big mouth, you know everything now."

Guo Biao was lying on the bed, gossiping, "I heard that the one I'm going to introduce to you is my sister-in-law."

His tone was full of envy, "Sister-in-law is so beautiful, her sister must be pretty too, and she's a city girl. This is such a great opportunity that's right in front of your door, why don't you go?"

Zhang Ming stopped choking her and stood up and sat back on his bed. "Come on, my sister-in-law has such a bad temper. Her sister is probably bad too. She's a young lady from the city with a bad temper. Even Li Tuan can't handle her."

"I'd better forget it."

Zhang Ming shook his head in fear, "I don't want to be like Li Tuan, working like a slave and suffering every day."

Zhang Ming told what happened just now and sighed, "Tian'er, you guys were in the office just now. Didn't you see that Li Tuan just came back and was busy all the time? He finally finished his work and didn't even take a break. He had to run to the city to pick up his sister-in-law in the middle of the night. He didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. If it were me, I couldn't do it."

Zhao Tian was lying on the bed. "That's right. Marrying a wife is for her to come home and serve us. Marrying a ancestor is chaos."

Someone answered, "Yes, I think it's better to marry a girl from your hometown. Once you get home, she'll be there to serve you comfortably."

Others said, "When it comes to marrying a wife, everything else is empty talk. I only look at two things: whether she can provide for my parents in their old age, and whether she can give birth to a big fat boy for me."

The final conclusion is, "I think the girl the team leader introduced is not very popular."

Someone laughed and teased the person who said this, "You guys are still unwilling. Look at your shabby looks, it's as if Li Tuan has taken a liking to you."

These people are indeed not as good as Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming's family is well-off. He is handsome, eloquent, and popular. He can get along well with people at a young age. It seems that he will be promoted soon. Otherwise, how could Li Changpu find Zhang Ming?

But they were still not happy to be told that, "Lao Liang, I'm not talking about you, why are you so anxious?"

Liang Mancang: "What's wrong with me telling the truth? You guys are complaining about this and that, as if the leader is introducing the girl to you."

Someone retorted, "Lao Liang, didn't the head of the group look for you? He doesn't think highly of you either."

Liang Mancang lay on the bed angrily. Although he was not married, he was old and his conditions were really not good.

"I say, if you have any intention, go to the leader and fight for it yourself, don't take it out on your brothers."

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Zhao Tian quickly tried to smooth things over, "No, brothers, what are you talking about? We are not talking about Zhang Ming's matter."

He added, "Zhang Ming, if it's my opinion, since the captain has asked you for this, no one else will say it, but you should agree. Last time you were hit and sent to the hospital, if it wasn't for the Li team that went to Kyoto to invite a specialist for you, your leg would have been amputated. They are really kind to you."

"That's right. And I'm not asking you to do anything. You're not happy about giving you a wife."

Zhang Ming stiffened his neck and said, "Captain has done me a favor. I will remember it for the rest of my life. I will do anything else, even my life."

As he spoke, his back slumped as if he had lost some energy. “But marriage is different from all these.”

"How can this be used to repay a favor?"

Guo Biao said, "What's the big deal? I remember the captain married my sister-in-law just to repay his kindness."

Someone asked curiously, "What's going on? Tell me about it."

"I heard that my sister-in-law's grandfather saved the life of the regiment commander, and the regiment commander married her to repay the favor."

Someone who knew the situation gave more details. "I know about this, too. Our platoon leader mentioned this. Isn't my sister-in-law's family a capitalist? They are very rich. During the war, my sister-in-law's grandfather took great pains to deliver a batch of scarce medicines to the battlefield, saving many people, including the regiment commander."

"Later, my sister-in-law's family fell in love with the regiment leader and wanted him to be their son-in-law. When they talked about this, the regiment leader agreed to the marriage."

Zhang Ming touched his head and said, "It's not right to spend the rest of my life repaying a favor."

Guo Biao said disapprovingly, "Why are you so stubborn? What's the point of repaying a favor? You're not willing to accept a wife as a gift. Look, isn't the commander doing well now..."

Guo Biao did not continue. He also knew the situation of Li Changpu's family. In the past, he had to take care of everything at home and outside. Not to mention the distant things, just now, he was so tired. He just came back and ran to the city to pick up his wife after finishing his work. He was as tired as an old ox, working non-stop. He was a little unable to continue talking.

Zhang Ming squinted his eyes, "What do you mean? Why don't you say anything? ... It's quite fulfilling, isn't it?"

Guo Biao: Fulfilling?

Well, why doesn't it count?
