Huo Bai led them to a place called the Sixth Iron Battalion.
Then tell them that this is just a temporary stop for them.
They said the commander had gone out to a meeting, and before leaving he specifically instructed them to make sure everything was settled. As for his final destination, he would come back and discuss it with Shiyue and the others in detail when he returned.
Just from the name "Iron Sixth Battalion," you can tell it's a team with a glorious history.
Although their base was located in a somewhat remote area, the supporting facilities were quite good.
They also attached great importance to their arrival.
Although Shiyue and her group only consisted of nine people in total, including adults and children, they still managed to reserve four houses for them.
In addition, each house has a separate courtyard.
The group went to the outermost set first.
Upon entering, I discovered that although the house wasn't particularly large, it was fully equipped with everything one could need.
In addition to the small courtyard that's right at the entrance, there's also a living room and two bedrooms.
In addition, there is a separate kitchen and bathroom.
There was even a hand pump well not far outside the yard.
Huo Bai left after seeing that they had settled in.
Before leaving, I told them that I had already spoken to the leaders in the camp about their situation, and that they should rest first, as the camp leaders would come to meet with them tomorrow.
After Huo Bai left, no one stayed long; everyone was exhausted from the journey.
Following the usual practice along the way, everyone quickly assigned houses.
This house was given to the Shen couple, while the one next to it was reserved for He Lixue and Professor Liang.
He Liping and his family of three lived next to Professor Liang and his family, while Shiyue and his wife lived in the innermost courtyard.
After that, everyone went back to rest.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, Shiyue didn't wake up until almost eight o'clock, which was quite unusual for her.
You should know that in the team, they have to start work at around 6:30 in the morning, and usually their whole family has to get up by 6:00 at the latest.
She glanced to the side and found that her husband was still sleeping soundly, his breathing still deep and even.
They must have been exhausted from the journey.
Shiyue didn't move, lying in bed enjoying her new life.
This place, whose name I don't know, is completely different from the Forward Brigade.
First of all, it's very hot here.
Although it was still morning, Shiyue could feel waves of heat as she lay there, making her feel sticky and sweaty even when she was lying still.
Moreover, the air here is different from that at home.
The air here has a strange dampness, and it also seems to have a salty smell.
All of these things were novel to Shiyue.
But it doesn't make people feel disgusted.
"Uncle! Aunt! Are you up? Open the door, Jiajia's here!"
While Shiyue was still lying in bed, she heard Jiajia's sweet voice coming from outside the yard.
She smiled immediately.
He Lixuan obviously heard it too.
He struggled to open his eyes, then looked blankly at the ceiling before quickly turning his head to look at Shiyue.
He visibly relaxed after seeing that his wife was still alive.
He grabbed Shiyue, who was about to get up, and hugged her tightly, nuzzling his head against her neck before asking, "What time is it?"
"It's past eight, almost nine, get up quickly." Shiyue patted him on the back with a smile.
"Hurry up, don't let Jiajia shout outside, people will laugh at us."
He Lixuan hugged his wife and rubbed against her again before laughing and reluctantly sitting up.
He muttered under his breath, "That He Liping has never been kind. Having Jiajia wake him up so early, he's clearly up to no good. I'll teach him a lesson tomorrow morning!"
Shiyue listened and couldn't help but laugh.
That's your brother!
He Lixuan hummed twice without replying, but it was clear that he was already thinking about how to get revenge on his brother tomorrow.
Shiyue did not continue.
To be honest, she was quite happy to see He Lixuan like this.
She hadn't seen him so relaxed in a long time.
It's clear that the change of environment has changed his mindset.
Shiyue hurriedly ran out and opened the door for the little girl.
Jiajia has completely changed her outfit today.
She wore a pink floral short-sleeved top with a blue pinafore dress over it, looking lively and cute.
Seeing Shiyue open the door, the little girl called out "Auntie" and ran into the house, then bumped headfirst into He Lixuan's arms!
He Lixuan was clearly very familiar with this little niece before.
He picked up the little girl and spun her around several times.
Jiajia was spinning around and giggling, she was so happy.
Although Shi Yue took meticulous care of him along the way, He Lixuan's injuries had not yet fully healed.
Especially his arms and back, which were covered in large patches of dark purple, looked quite frightening.
Along the way, Shiyue wouldn't even let him carry heavy things, but unexpectedly, he was now able to carry the little girl around in circles.
Fortunately, Jiajia wasn't an unreasonable child. After being affectionate with her uncle for a little while, she immediately asked to get down.
She added, "Dad said I can't let my uncle hug me. Uncle, you can't tell my dad!"
The little girl came to invite them to have breakfast together.
After quickly washing up, the couple went with Jiajia to the house where her in-laws lived.
The room was bustling with activity; everyone except Shiyue and her companion had arrived.
Everyone had obviously already eaten breakfast and was now sitting in the living room chatting.
Seeing them arrive, He Siyi pointed to the kitchen: "There's food left for you inside, go and eat first."
After saying that, he ignored them and continued his conversation with Professor Liang.
Shiyue and the others went into the kitchen and saw a plate of steamed buns made from two kinds of dough, a small bowl of stewed cabbage and tofu, and a small dish of fried salted fish on the table.
She was about to get the bowls and chopsticks when Liang Yueming followed her in.
She said to Shiyue, "There's still some porridge warming on the stove. I cooked millet porridge this morning. I think it's more comfortable to eat something thin in the morning. So, do you like millet porridge?"
Shi Yue laughed: "Sister-in-law, look at what you're saying. Millet is a rare commodity where we're from. Millet porridge is reserved for sick people; ordinary people wouldn't dare to eat it."
Hearing her say that, Liang Yueming was very happy.
Millet is a good thing not only in the countryside, but also in the city.
If it weren't for postpartum confinement or elderly family members, no one would cook this for no reason.
The half-bag of millet she brought this time was bought for her by her friends when she left home and said goodbye.
They said they were worried that she might not adapt well to the new environment, so whether they ate it themselves or gave it to Jiajia, it would provide some nutrition.
She carried it with her like a treasure the whole way.
Food isn't afraid of being eaten; it's afraid that people won't appreciate its benefits after eating it.
At this moment, Liang Yueming felt even better about Shiyue.
