After another series of winding mountain roads, we finally arrived at a valley between the mountains.
From a distance, you can see a group of small bungalows, which are the troops.
Song Qi drove the jeep to the west side of the army. The small bungalows on the west side were more compact and had a heavier smell of smog. That was the military compound.
To enter the compound, one must first pass through the military sentry booth, where two armed sentries are on duty.
The sentry looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, younger than Song Qi, but after his experience in the army, he appeared to be quite heroic and steady.
They knew Song Qi, but not Chu Yue. "Who is that? Show me your ID."
As the jeep could not enter the family compound, Song Qi, Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao had already gotten out of the car. Lu Yuanbao smelled mint leaves all the way and was in much better condition than before. He followed Chu Yue obediently.
Chu Yue took out her ID.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here." Song Qi remembered what Xu Feng had told him at the train station, so he got his ID first and avoided Chu Yue. He whispered to the two sentries in a low voice, "Open your eyes and look carefully. These are Captain Lu's wife and child! They are here to accompany the army!"
When the two sentinels heard this, their eyes widened and they asked in surprise, "Whose lover and son?"
When I opened the certificate, I saw that it was genuine, with the three words "Lu Zhanlin" written on it!
When did Captain Lu get married? !
The same doubts appeared on the faces of the two sentinels, and they were even more shocked and stunned, and they almost bit their tongues.
"You said that was..."
"What do you mean by yes or no?" Song Qi quickly interrupted the sentry, "Return the documents after checking. Sister-in-law has been on the bus for a long time and needs to go back to rest. Don't waste time here. Stand guard seriously."
Song Qi took back the ID without hesitation and came back to Chu Yue's side, "Sister-in-law, here, we can go in now, I'll show you the way."
Chu Yue asked worriedly, "Will it take up too much of your time?"
"No, nothing is more important than you, sister-in-law! It's my duty to take care of you! It's almost noon, sister-in-law, did you bring dry food? If not, I'll go to the army cafeteria to get some food and send it over."
Song Qi became more familiar with Chu Yue along the way. He was not as cautious in speaking as at the beginning, and was even a little too enthusiastic. He led Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao forward.
The two sentries behind them were looking at each other silently and saw the same shock in each other's eyes. It was really a big melon, but it was a pity that they couldn't share it with others.
During this period, Chu Yue felt something was wrong again.
She had noticed this kind of abnormality in Xu Feng and Song Qi. She always felt that something was happening right in front of her, but she could not see through it.
This feeling was not good, and Chu Yue frowned.
But soon, the mystery was solved -
This was the first time Chu Yue had walked into a military camp in her two lifetimes. She held Lu Yuanbao's hand and walked forward step by step.
I saw the flagpole standing in the open space with a red five-star flag flying, and I also saw the slogan "The military camp is my home, and its construction depends on everyone" painted on the wall of a small bungalow on the side of the road.
The red letters on a white background and the bold, straight fonts look very much like those of the 1970s.
Song Qi and Chu Yue turned a corner at an intersection. As soon as they turned around, they ran into a group of women gathered together.
The women ranged from those in their twenties to those in their thirties. They all wore blue or grey work clothes, had short hair cut to the ears, and wore cloth shoes. They exuded a spirit that was unique to people of that era.
They were all sisters-in-law who followed the army to the family compound. They all knew Song Qi and started chatting as soon as they met.
"Hey! Isn't this Song Qi? Song Qi, didn't you follow Captain Xu out to train new recruits? I haven't heard that new recruits have joined the army. Why did you come back first?"
"That's right! Captain Lu has been out on a mission for half a month and he hasn't come back yet. Song Qi, why did you come back alone? Did something happen on the way?"
"Bah! Chen Fengying, you have such a bad mouth, you don't even know what to say! Didn't you see that there was a woman and a child following behind Song Qi. Song Qi, you didn't get married secretly, did you? Is this your wife? How come you have such a big child?"
The sisters-in-law spoke one after another, harshly and cruelly, not giving Song Qi any chance to explain.
Seeing that a huge misunderstanding was about to happen, Song Qi's face almost turned red with anxiety, and he explained hurriedly.
"No! Sisters-in-law, please don't say anything nonsense. I'm a soldier. I have to report my marriage first. How can I get married casually? It's not a marriage, and she's not my wife, really not!"
Song Qi's throat was almost smoking when he talked, but the sisters-in-law didn't believe him at all.
Chen Fengying narrowed her eyes and looked Chu Yue up and down. Chu Yue was young and pretty, and Song Qi was not bad looking either. When they stood together and looked at each other, they seemed to be a good match.
She thought it was appropriate and said loudly, "Song Qi, you are still carrying bags for others, and you still say she is not your wife."
"No! It's really not! Sisters-in-law, listen to me, it's really not! Don't say such things casually!" Song Qi couldn't clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River. He even wanted to die.
If these words were to reach Lu Zhanlin's ears, I wonder what would happen to him?
The sisters-in-law followed suit and the surroundings became noisy. Finally, Chu Yue couldn't stand it anymore, so she raised her voice and spoke loudly to everyone.
"The person I married is called Lu Zhanlin. I am his wife. This child is Lu Zhanlin's child and has nothing to do with Comrade Song."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The sisters-in-law stood there frozen as if their acupoints were pressed, unable to move, except for their eyes which were wide open, staring at Chu Yue without blinking, their looks becoming more and more intense.
Chu Yue frowned uncomfortably.
Lu Yuanbao also sensed the unusual atmosphere, his little face looked serious, and he held Chu Yue's hand tightly.
That small figure did not hide behind Chu Yue, but stood in front of Chu Yue, as if to protect her.
Seeing this, Song Qi only had one thought in his mind: Too bad, the mission failed, this secret can no longer be kept...
After a few seconds of silence, there was a burst of shouting.
"What? Whose wife are you saying you are? Lu Zhanlin? Your lover is Captain Lu? When did Captain Lu get married? Why haven't I heard about it? Was it in the countryside?"
"...Now that you mention it, I remember that Captain Lu once said a long time ago that he had an engagement in his hometown in the countryside, and they would get married when the other party reached the right age. Could it be that what Captain Lu said was true?"
"But even though we haven't seen each other for so many years, Captain Lu isn't anxious. I thought he was just saying it on purpose to trick Comrade He so that he would give up sooner."
"Now Captain Lu's wife is here! They even have a son! What is Comrade He going to do?"
The sisters-in-law shouted one after another, their emotions even more intense than when they besieged Song Qi just now, they were shocked and annoyed.
Chu Yue quickly heard the key points.
Leader? Lu Zhanlin is actually the leader?
She originally suspected that Li Amei and Chu Yaoyao were lying, and that Lu Zhanlin was probably not a platoon leader, but just an ordinary soldier. Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be the regiment commander!
And judging from the tone of these people's voices, they both respect and fear Lu Zhanlin. This feeling is not pretended. Lu Zhanlin is probably a big shot in this army.
If Li A-mei and Chu Yaoyao knew the truth, they would probably regret letting the regiment leader's son-in-law go to the point of vomiting blood in the middle of the night.
Lu Zhanlin had been keeping this a secret, probably to test Li Amei and Chu Yaoyao's attitude towards him. I originally thought that the two of them were calculating Lu Zhanlin's allowance, but I didn't expect that Lu Zhanlin was calculating against them.
What a good show...
For the first time, Chu Yue felt a little curious about the man who was listed on the marriage certificate with her. She wondered what kind of person Lu Zhanlin was.
Another "Comrade He" was mentioned in the conversation between the sisters-in-law. Before Chu Yue had time to think about it, a figure came running over from a distance.
Xia Xiaolan was panicking and shouting, "Sister Fengying, Sister Aifang, sisters-in-law, come quickly! Chunling's water has broken, she's about to give birth... about to give birth... Go and have a look! Chunling is dying! Go and save her!"
