An 80s female translator was spoiled rotten by a rough and jealous man.

Chapter 190 Special Rewards
The car was parked on the side of the road in front of the hospital gate. Huo Qingshan opened the car door and got in.

When Commander Wang saw that the man had finally returned, he deliberately teased, "Where are my cigarettes?"

Huo Qingshan glanced at the other party indifferently and made up a story: "Sold out."

Instead of being angry, Commander Wang laughed, chuckled twice, and then mocked, "You little rascal, you've finally met your match! Tell me, why didn't Xiao Meng's father take a liking to you?"

The information contained in that one sentence was too much. Xiao Li sat in the driver's seat and trembled. Although he had long suspected the shady dealings between their battalion commander and translator Meng, neither of them had ever publicly admitted it.

However, this not only confirmed the relationship between the two, but also revealed that Meng's translator father actually didn't like their battalion commander!
Huo Qingshan seemed not to hear him, his gaze fixed on the driver's seat, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Drive back to the camp."

Xiao Li, forcing himself to speak, quickly replied, "Yes, Battalion Commander."

Realizing that the person next to him was still staring intently at his face, Huo Qingshan turned his head away and said with a helpless expression, "Commander, this is my private matter."

Regiment Commander Wang shrugged casually and sighed, "Oh dear, now is not the time for you, Battalion Commander Huo, to abuse your power for personal gain, using the pretext of visiting your subordinates to trick your superiors into coming to the hospital to accompany you to see your girlfriend?"

At this point, Huo Qingshan had no choice but to tell the truth: "He didn't tell me the reason, he just said he disagreed."

Upon hearing this, Commander Wang immediately became interested and began to list and analyze the situation for him: "Could it be because you have a terrible temper?"

From what I understand, people in the capital generally prefer sons-in-law who are gentle and refined. People like gentlemen; it's normal that someone like you, with a stern face all the time, isn't well-liked.

"Let me tell you, sometimes you have to be a little sweet-talking, especially when it comes to pleasing your father-in-law. It can save you a lot of trouble."

Moreover, the same principle applies to winning a girl's heart...

Regiment Commander Wang enthusiastically shared his experiences from the journey, but whether Battalion Commander Huo listened attentively, and how much he absorbed, remains unknown.

……

For two consecutive days, Meng Youyou sulked and didn't speak to Vice Minister Meng. Whenever Ms. Hu Shulan left the ward, the room would fall into a deathly silence.

For example, at this moment, Meng Youyou is stuffing fruit into her mouth, while her father is sitting on a wooden chair by the window reading a newspaper; in short, neither of them is paying attention to the other.

The father and daughter are remarkably alike in this respect, each possessing an unyielding spirit.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. After two crisp knocks, the person just stood outside without coming in. He was wearing a dark gray Zhongshan suit and at first glance looked like an employee of a government agency.

Meng Zhengping moved the newspaper blocking his view, looked up at the sound, saw the person, casually folded the unfolded newspaper in his hand, placed it on the table, and got up to walk towards the door.

They didn't go far, but stood near the ward door talking, their voices neither too loud nor too soft. However, the inpatient ward was inevitably noisy during the day, and Meng Youyou, sitting on the bed, couldn't hear every word clearly.

A few words drifted into my ears intermittently—train ticket, sleeper berth, return home…

Meng Youyou also saw the man in the Zhongshan suit hand Meng Zhengping something that looked like a train ticket. Meng Zhengping took it and put it in his coat pocket.

After Meng Zhengping came in, he sat back down in his original seat and picked up the newspaper on the table to read again.

After glancing at it a few times, Meng Youyou finally couldn't hold back any longer. She coughed a few times and suddenly asked, "Why are you asking someone to buy you a train ticket?" As she said this, her eyes were still looking at the ceiling.

Meng Zhengping looked up at her and said in a deep voice, "Who are you talking to? You're so disrespectful, you don't even have a proper address."

Meng Youyou pouted and called out, "Dad." Her voice was a little hesitant and embarrassed.

Meng Zhengping's tone softened with the address, "I've been here for almost a week, and there are still many things at work waiting for me to go back to handle. It's time for me to go back."

After saying that, she quickly added, "Your mother retired early last year, so her work isn't as busy, and it's easier for her to take leave. She'll stay here to take care of you until you're discharged." Meng Youyou lowered her head and muttered softly, "Why do I have to go back after only a few days?"

Just as Meng Zhengping was about to speak, Hu Shulan returned. As soon as she appeared at the door, she called out "Youyou," followed by a person in a dark green military uniform, who was an old acquaintance of Meng Youyou.

Meng Youyou was overjoyed. "Xiao Li, what brings you here?"

Hu Shulan spoke first: "I met Xiao Li downstairs. He said he was from the same unit as you and came to the hospital to see you, so he came up with me." As she spoke, she walked to the table, picked up the thermos, and poured hot water into a glass.

Xiao Li scratched the back of his head and grinned, "Translator Meng, are you feeling better?"

"Much better. I was able to get out of bed and walk a few days ago, and maybe I'll be able to run in a few more days."

Hu Shulan gently reminded him, "Don't push yourself. The doctor said you should rest more and stay quiet. It's not advisable to walk for long periods of time."

Meng Youyou listlessly raised her eyebrows and eyes. When she saw the bag in Xiao Li's hand, she quickly found a new topic: "Xiao Li, what are you holding?"

"Oh, these are clothes that Commander Wang asked me to bring to you."

"Clothes? I have plenty of clothes here, why are you sending me clothes?"

"These aren't ordinary clothes; they're the clothes you'll be wearing to the awards ceremony next Wednesday."

"Huh?" Meng Youyou asked, confused. "What kind of awards ceremony is this? Do I have to attend? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"This commendation meeting was held because Battalion Commander Huo led the Second Battalion in a joint operation with the anti-drug squad and achieved great success."

The military only received the invitation list yesterday, and the public security department probably just finalized it recently. Translator Meng, not only are you on the invitation list, but your name is listed first!

Hu Shulan walked up to Xiao Li with a glass in her hand. "Here, Xiao Li, have some hot water. Just give the things to Auntie. Don't just stand there. There are chairs over there. Go sit down."

Hu Shulan took the brown paper bag from Xiao Li. The bag felt heavy in her hand, suggesting that the clothes were of considerable quality.

Hu Shulan curiously peeked inside the bag. The clothes were neatly folded and placed inside, so she couldn't see the whole thing, but the material and the color looked more and more like...?
Despite her many questions, Hu Shulan did not take out the clothes without permission. Instead, she handed the bag to Meng Youyou and said, "Youyou, open it and take a look. These clothes look unusual."

Without much thought, Meng Youyou took the bag, turned it upside down, and the clothes slipped out of the bag and fell onto the quilt, revealing a brand-new dark green military uniform in front of everyone.

Upon seeing this, Meng Youyou exclaimed with delight, "Can the army still issue me a military uniform? Isn't that something only soldiers can get?"

Xiao Li quickly explained, "This outfit is exactly the same style as a military uniform. The only difference is that the epaulets don't have rank insignia; they're blank."

To recognize meritorious service, special honors are given to active-duty military personnel who have made outstanding contributions, even if they are not military personnel. This has been a tradition that the 624th Military Personnel Association has maintained for many years.

This outfit is part of the special reward.

As Meng Youyou listened, she couldn't contain her excitement. She grabbed the shoulders of the uniform with both hands, raised it high, and wanted to take a closer look.

With a quick lift and pull, a pink piece of paper fell out of her uniform pocket. Meng Youyou caught it with lightning speed and then quietly slipped it under her pillow.

She recognized the handwriting on the paper at a glance.

However, Meng Youyou's seemingly discreet actions were actually observed by the other three people in the room, who all tacitly pretended not to see them.

Meng Zhengping sat down to the side, shook the newspaper in his hand, and continued reading.
