"sister in law!"
After hearing the order, Song Qi turned around and immediately called out "sister-in-law" in a full-bodied voice.
He is just 20 years old this year and has been in the army for just over a year. He is also a rookie. His tanned face still has a youthful temperament. He is a young and enthusiastic guy.
He has been well taken care of by Lu Zhanlin since he joined the army. Now that he meets Lu Zhanlin's wife, he is naturally respectful.
"Sister-in-law, you've worked hard on the journey. Give me your backpack and I'll take it! Sister-in-law, if you have any requests, just tell me! Sister-in-law, come this way, follow me closely."
Chu Yue felt her ears itchy when she heard the name "sister-in-law" again and again, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
At the same time, she was a little confused. Lu Zhanlin was just a platoon leader. Did they really need to be so enthusiastic towards her? Or were all soldiers like this towards their family members?
Chu Yue is still not familiar with this strange era.
Song Qi carried his backpack and looked down at Lu Yuanbao in Chu Yue's hand. "Sister-in-law, do you want me to help hold the child? There are many people when we leave the train station, and the child is so young that he might get squeezed."
Chu Yue thought what Song Qi said made sense, nodded, handed Lu Yuanbao to him, and thanked him with a smile.
"Comrade Song, thank you for your trouble."
Song Qi listened to Chu Yue's soft and delicate southern accent, and suddenly blushed, "Sister-in-law, you're welcome. This is what I should do."
that's all.
Chu Yue and Song Qi gradually walked away, their figures entered the crowd and gradually disappeared.
Lu Zhanlin walked out from the other side, Xu Feng walked up to him and chuckled.
"When did our regimental commander get demoted three ranks and become a platoon leader? How come I didn't know? Is this a vacant position for me to be promoted? I tell you, I don't want to be a regimental commander. Going to the army every day without attending meetings is more tiring than a 30-kilometer field training. Whoever wants to do it can do it."
Lu Zhanlin glanced at Xu Feng sideways, remained cold and silent, and ignored his joking remarks.
Seeing that Lu Zhanlin didn't respond, Xu Feng stopped teasing and spoke seriously, asking the biggest question in his mind.
"Lu Tuan, does your wife really not recognize you?"
"Well, she doesn't know him. We haven't met."
Lu Zhanlin nodded coldly.
The two of them were engaged by Lu Zhanlin's parents shortly after he joined the army. The Lu parents made the decision on their own will without even getting his consent, for they were afraid that he would die on the battlefield and become a lonely ghost.
At that time, "Chu Yue" was just a child. She was also a victim of this feudal marriage.
Just like his sister...
As his thoughts wandered, Lu Zhanlin's expression became even colder.
Xu Feng frowned, still confused, "Sister-in-law doesn't know you, but you know her. There are so many seats on the train, but you two sit together. This is fate. Why don't you recognize your sister-in-law?"
Lu Zhanlin looked at the direction where Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao left, and said in a low voice, "I gave her the opportunity to choose. I hope she won't regret it in the future."
…
Waiting outside the station.
Song Qi asked Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao to wait for a while. Soon he arranged a military jeep and went around to the passenger seat to open the door for Chu Yue.
"Sister-in-law, get in the car. We're going to the army in this car. The jeep is a bit bumpy, and you'll be a little tired on the way. But the jeep goes fast, so we can get to the compound earlier, and we can also go home and rest earlier."
"It's okay. I like jeeps."
Chu Yue was very satisfied with the big and spacious jeep in front of her. It must be very impressive to drive, but it was a pity that she didn't have the chance to sit in the driver's seat.
Lu Yuanbao also had shining eyes.
Lu Yuanbao has always lived in the countryside and the only means of transportation he has seen are either ox carts or donkey carts. He likes to follow behind the ox carts and pick up cow dung, which is a very good fertilizer that can make vegetables grow bigger and faster.
As for tractors, cars, buses... he had never seen any of them.
There were a lot of cars outside the train station, but this jeep was the tallest and looked the coolest at first glance.
Chu Yue patted Lu Yuanbao's head to call his attention back, "Yuanbao! Get in the car!"
The jeep was too high for Lu Yuanbao to get on, so Chu Yue carried him up.
Then, Chu Yue grabbed the door handle with one hand, raised her foot, and sat easily on the passenger seat.
Song Qi stood aside, still hesitating whether to help. In the blink of an eye, Chu Yue got into the car. He looked at the scene in amazement.
She is worthy of being Captain Lu’s lover, she is different from ordinary girls!
This became the first impression Chu Yue left on Song Qi, and also became the first impression many soldiers had of her later.
As the sunrise glowed in the sky, the jeep quickly set off on the road.
The train station where Chu Yue got off was in the city center. The troops were stationed in a mountainous area on the edge of the city. The journey took nearly three or four hours. The jeep sped along the roads in the main urban area and continued to head south.
As time went by, we gradually left the city and the roads became bumpy. Many of them were circular roads around the mountains, and the jeep was shaking violently.
This was nothing for Chu Yue, but it was a great torture for Lu Yuanbao, who had never traveled far.
Lu Yuanbao, who was initially very interested in leaning against the window to look at the scenery, soon began to feel uncomfortable. His body was shaking up and down, and his stomach was churning.
He is carsick.
This feeling was like going back to two nights ago when he couldn't help feeling nauseous and vomiting.
But in the past two days, all he ate were white flour buns, scallion pancakes, and eggs. They were all food, good things. He couldn't spit them out! He absolutely couldn't spit them out!
When Chu Yue realized that something was wrong with Lu Yuanbao, his face had already turned pale.
She asked Song Qi to stop the car and slow down first.
Chu Yue jumped out of the car holding Lu Yuanbao, stood on the side of the road to breathe fresh air, and kept stroking his back.
"Yuanbao, are you feeling better? Do you want to vomit? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Lu Yuanbao said with a pale face, "No...it's okay, I won't vomit...I won't vomit..."
"If you don't want to vomit, drink some water and rinse your mouth."
Chu Yue handed the kettle over and helped Lu Yuanbao feed him in small sips.
Song Qi stood aside helplessly, with a guilty look on his face, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have driven so fast, causing you to suffer."
"It's okay. It's not your fault. I didn't take good care of the child."
After all, Chu Yue had never lived with these children for a long time. Even if she was careful in everything, there were still times when she was careless.
She asked Lu Yuanbao to drink some water, then grabbed Lu Yuanbao's wrist and turned it to the inside of the wrist, where the two fingers below the palm were, which was the Neiguan acupoint.
Neiguan acupoint is also known as the first acupoint for stopping vomiting. Pressing the acupoint by rotating it back and forth can relieve discomfort in the throat.
When Chu Yue was pressing the acupuncture points on Lu Yuanbao, she saw lush weeds growing on the roadside.
The southwest has a warm climate and is green even in winter.
Chu Yue saw a small plant with wrinkled leaves in the weeds. It was mint.
The mint smell is refreshing and has a similar effect to that of essential oil.
Chu Yue walked into the weeds and picked a handful of mint leaves.
Song Qi watched from the side and asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, what are you picking weeds for?"
"This wild grass is mint. It can cure dizziness and nausea."
Chu Yue divided the mint leaves into two parts, stuffed one part into Lu Yuanbao's hand, and asked him to cover his mouth and nose with it to smell the scent, and crushed the other part and pressed it on the Neiguan acupoint that had just been rubbed, then wrapped it with a handkerchief.
Lu Yuanbao did as Chu Yue said, holding the fresh mint leaves and breathing deeply.
The tip of my nose was filled with the refreshing scent of slightly cool mint. My originally chaotic brain became clear, and my churning stomach calmed down.
He blinked in disbelief and looked up at Chu Yue.
Chu Yue held his wrist and continued to press gently, "Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, much better." Lu Yuanbao said softly. The mature boy looked guilty and pursed his lips and said, "Sorry... I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong. You're the one who's feeling bad. But next time you encounter something like this, whether it's nausea, stomachache, or anything else, don't hold it in. Speak up. Remember?"
Chu Yue comforted him gently while giving him strong instructions.
Lu Yuanbao blinked his eyes. He didn’t expect that he wouldn’t be scolded. He was stunned under Chu Yue’s gaze.
"Yes, I remember that."
He nodded slowly.
