The First Night in the Army in the 1970s : The Strongest Officer’s Eyes Are Red with Anxiety

Song Nantang and Lu Jianan met at their lowest points.

She was utterly betrayed and trapped, while he was alone and gravely ill. He loved and cherished her, pulling her from the mire and givi...

Chapter 7 No One Can Escape

Aunt Li from next door came over to take a look and was also shocked, "Oh my god, we really got robbed." She pulled Zhao Xiu'e and said, "Stop crying, come and see what's missing."

Aunt Li was famous for her loud voice, and when she shouted like that, all the neighbors who were at home on that floor came out to watch the fun.

"Oh my, what good things do you have at home that you have encountered a disaster?"

"That's right. What did you hide at home that the thief wanted to find?"

Zhao Xiu'e looked unhappy and said, "Nothing good."

Seeing that there were so many people, Zhao Xiu'e was afraid that something else might happen, so she quickly took her two sons into the house.

As a result, when I entered the house, I almost couldn't breathe. All the pots, pans, rice, flour, grains, oils, etc. in the house were gone. There were only some tables, chairs and benches left in the house.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiu'e's heart sank. She hurried to the kitchen to take a look. Seeing that the pickle jar was not moved, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she went to the bedroom and started crying, "This damn thief, who is so heartless and evil? My money, my tickets."

Song Nanshan also ran over and said anxiously, "Mom, my hidden money is gone."

"My salary is gone too." Song Nanfu's face turned pale. That was the salary he had saved since he started working, more than 200 yuan. He was planning to use the money to buy new clothes for his girlfriend, but now it's all gone.

Zhao Xiu'e almost fell down while holding her chest. She looked around for someone, "Where's Song Nanting? Where did this damn girl go? Didn't we ask her to come back? Why is she gone? She's not taking care of the house properly but messing around outside..."

Song Nanshan's eyes flickered, "Mom, could it be my second sister who did it?"

Zhao Xiu'e paused in her tears, first doubting and then shaking her head, "She wouldn't dare to do that even if she had a hundred courages."

But he still opened the door, looked at the people outside and said, "Has anyone seen my Nan Ting?"

"No, I was at home all morning and didn't see him."

“I haven’t seen it at home either.”

After asking around but not seeing Song Nanting coming back, Zhao Xiu'e started crying again. "I can't live any longer. Someone stole my money. The thief must be among us. Whoever stole it should bring it out for me right away. Otherwise, I'll call the police and have her arrested."

Zhao Xiu'e now looks like a thief to everyone she sees. Living in the same compound, it's possible that someone is jealous of her family's good life and breaks into the house to steal things when no one is home and no one is paying attention in the morning. Otherwise, how could they know the exact place where she hides things? Even that damn girl Song Nanting doesn't know.

These old ladies love to visit people on weekdays, so you never know when you might see them when you come here one day.

Everyone was unhappy when this was said.

"What do you mean by that? What does it have to do with us if something is missing from your house? We didn't come to your house."

"That's right, if you lose something, call the police or the security team. What's the point of talking to us here?"

"That's right. The people in your family are no good. Maybe they have offended someone and had their house robbed. They are still trying to frame us. We are not that easy to bully."

Aunt Li next door was afraid of being falsely accused, so she sneered, "Maybe they staged it themselves to extort money. Given their family's financial situation, none of those things are clean. Even beggars would find them dirty if they stole them. Who would be willing to take her things?"

The others laughed and echoed. They all lived in the same compound, and everyone knew the character of this family. It was fine before, but after Song Nanting went to live with the Pan family, the Song family became like a pigsty.

When Zhao Xiu'e saw this, she was so angry and embarrassed that she started crying again, "My family's money, my family's things, even the food to eat is gone."

Seeing her crying so sadly, someone asked, "Stop crying and tell me how much money your family lost."

There wasn't much money, but there were a lot of tickets, and her...

Zhao Xiu'e was surprised and ran into the house to look through the wardrobe. The glass bottle was still there, but the things inside were gone.

Her legs were weak and her hands were shaking. She forced herself to go to the kitchen and move the pickled vegetable jar. When she took it out, she found it was also empty.

Zhao Xiu'e's eyes fluttered and she fell into the kitchen with a bang.

"Oh, Mom, someone come quickly, my mom fainted."

When the Song family was having a great time, Song Nanting took an envelope, wrote her home address on it, and put the household registration booklet in it, along with Pan Shiying's household registration page.

These things cannot be lost, as the three of them still have to take their household registration books to go through the formalities of going to the countryside.

Anyway, she had finished her business, so she could just go buy a ticket and leave.

Thanks to the director of the Youth League Office for arranging a time for her to go to the countryside. It is not bad to set off before the New Year.

The only way to go to the Northeast is by train, but they are so far away from the Northeast that there is no direct train.

There are four days left until New Year’s Eve, and we will have to celebrate the New Year on the train.

But it doesn’t matter. Her heart becomes warm as she thinks about seeing Lu Jianan soon.

There were quite a few coupons in hand. The national grain coupons and meat coupons were basically collected from the Pan family, and most of them were sent back by Pan Shifeng to honor Wei Dani. These coupons were valid nationwide and could be kept for use after going to the countryside.

As for the money looted from her house, most of them were local bills, which had to be spent before leaving.

First go to the station to buy a train ticket. They are just a small county town and there is no direct train to the capital. You have to take a train to the provincial capital first, then buy a train ticket to the north in the provincial capital, and then transfer to another train in the middle before you can actually get on the train to the capital.

As a result, she had been away for so long that she had forgotten about it. Train tickets are not easy to buy nowadays. The provincial capital is relatively close, and many people travel back and forth every day.

Song Nanting could only buy a train ticket for the next day at six o'clock in the evening.

But it doesn’t matter if you can’t leave early.

This time, she used the makeup tools she used in her previous life to dress herself up in the restroom of the train station, and then wrapped herself with the headscarf here. As long as she didn't speak, even her parents would find it difficult to recognize her.

Since I can't leave, I have to find a place to rest for a night and do something big at night.

Perhaps because she had done too many things today, Song Nanting was very tired and fell asleep almost as soon as she lay down.

There was an alarm clock she took out from her space on the bedside table. At nine o'clock in the evening, she opened her eyes and woke up.

Today is Sunday. If she remembered correctly, her eldest brother would go out and play cards with a few friends every weekend, and they would play until after ten o'clock in the evening every time.

It’s a good time to go back to ten o’clock. It’s so cold and there’s no one outside. I don’t have to worry about being seen.

Her good brother Song Nanshan is said to be away from home often recently. Even though such a big thing happened today, maybe he also ran away?

In order to move more conveniently, Song Nanting put on a pair of sweatpants from the space, still wearing a torn cotton jacket on top, and then went out carrying an anti-wolf stun baton.

Good brother, good younger brother, you must wait for her and give her a chance to repay your brotherhood.
