A charming military wife travels back to the 1960s, escaping famine across five provinces before finally reaching the cavalry regiment at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, where she begins her life...
After a while, Zhuang Mingcheng walked back quickly.
In front of his wife, he shook his head slightly. He had just asked at the train station, and the next train back wouldn't be for another two days.
On the other side, Lu Fangfang was even more troubled by what she saw.
"Comrades, what's going on here?"
On the platform, a middle-aged male railway police officer walked over quickly.
"Waaaaah, comrade, my sister doesn't want me anymore, I have nowhere to go, waaaah..."
"Pah, Zhang Honghua, stop pretending. This is my sister, not your sister."
Xiuxiu's face turned red; she was furious.
The middle-aged train police officer ignored the two girls arguing and looked directly at Zhuang Mingcheng.
"Sir, you're a soldier too. If you have family problems, you should go home and resolve them. It's not good to do it outside."
Before Zhuang Mingcheng could speak, Lu Fangfang said, "Comrade, thank you for your trouble. It's nothing serious, please go about your business."
Seeing that she couldn't send Zhang Honghua back immediately, she sighed inwardly, took Xiuxiu's hand, and walked out.
Seeing this, Zhang Honghua was overjoyed and quickly grabbed her luggage to follow Lu Fangfang.
She secretly decided that even if she had to be a clingy leech, she would stick to this place and never go back.
Once outside, Lu Fangfang pointed to the jeep and told Xiuxiu to go to the back seat.
Zhang Honghua didn't stand on ceremony and immediately followed Xiuxiu into the car.
Lu Fangfang glanced back, then leaned close to her husband and whispered, "What's wrong? Don't you have tickets?"
"Yes, the train back won't be for another two days."
Zhuang Mingcheng was also very troubled.
If this were a reasonable person, it would be fine, but this Zhang Honghua is obviously not someone to be trifled with, and he doesn't want to bring her back to the troupe.
"Fangfang, what should we do?"
“Take her back first, and send her to the train station in two days. Anyway, we can’t let her stay at home for long.”
Lu Fangfang took a deep breath and decided to endure it for two days.
After all, they are relatives. If I abandon her and don't take care of her, she might come after me if something happens.
If things really escalate, it won't be good for Zhuang Mingcheng either.
"What if she refuses to leave after two days? After all, she's a woman, and I can't really interfere."
"You don't need to worry about this. I'll have Sister Lanying take her away."
Zhuang Mingcheng was immediately delighted when his wife mentioned Sister-in-law Lan Ying.
Yes, we have Sister Lan Ying. She's the kind of person who can pull even the most stubborn donkey, so dealing with a little girl is a piece of cake for her.
His mood immediately improved, and he opened the passenger door and let his wife get in.
He quickly walked to the other side, got into the driver's seat, and drove to the post office.
...
"Xiuxiu, I haven't introduced you yet. This is your brother-in-law, Zhuang Mingcheng."
"Sister, I already knew about brother-in-law. I've read all the letters you sent before. Brother-in-law, my name is Lu Xiuxiu, you can just call me Xiuxiu."
“Xiuxiu, I’ve known about you for a while now. Your sister has mentioned you to me a lot.”
Inside the jeep, the three chatted animatedly, as if Zhang Honghua didn't exist.
Zhang Honghua pursed her lips, not caring at all. At this moment, all her attention was focused on the jeep.
She touched and fiddled with everything, her heart pounding with excitement.
A car! It's a car!
In her hometown, only high-ranking officials in the county had cars. She never expected that she would have the opportunity to ride in a car, which strengthened her determination to stay.
Soon, the jeep arrived in front of the post office.
"Xiuxiu, wait in the car for a while. I'm going to the post office. I'll take you out to eat later."
Lu Fangfang glanced at Zhang Honghua, then got out of the car.
Once inside the post office, she took out the remittance slip and her household registration book, and quickly withdrew the money.
After coming out, she called out to Xiuxiu and went with her husband to a nearby state-run restaurant.
Zhang Honghua, shameless as ever, followed closely behind the three.
Seeing that the group had sat down at the table, she quickly went over as well.
Lu Fangfang wasn't stingy; she also ordered her a bowl of noodles.
“Honghua, did you tell your family when you sneaked out? Does my second sister-in-law know? We can’t let your parents and my second sister-in-law worry.”
"I already told you, my sister knows... No, Sister Fangfang, I really didn't run away..."
"I was just worried about your parents. It's good that you know, it's good that you know. You've been on the train for so long, go ahead and eat."
Lu Fangfang waved her hand, a smile appearing on her face, but inwardly she snorted coldly.
She knew that her unseen second sister-in-law was involved in this.
No, she has to write to her father.
Seeing this, Zhang Honghua breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Beside her, Xiuxiu was very indignant, "Sister, she..."
"It's okay, it's okay, eat up."
Lu Fangfang patted Xiuxiu's hand and winked at her.
We need to keep Honghua calm now, to prevent her from making a scene. We'll have Sister Lanying send her off on the train in two days, then it will be too late for her to cause trouble.
After dinner, Lu Fangfang led the group to the department store in the city.
Holding Xiuxiu's hand, she and her sister strolled around the department store.
It's the weekend, and there are quite a few people inside; it's very lively.
"Xiuxiu, if you see anything you like, just tell me and I'll buy it for you."
"Sister, I...I don't need anything, I don't want it."
Xiuxiu looked on curiously, a little shyly.
It was her first time shopping at a department store, and the items on the counters dazzled her.
Behind the two, Zhang Honghua clutched the hem of her clothes, looking at the floral fabric on the counter with envy.
