Just as Shiyue and the others finished eating, the Sixth Iron Battalion arrived.
The group that arrived included Battalion Political Commissar Qi Feng, Battalion Commander Wu He, and other key personnel from the battalion.
Seven or eight people arrived at once; it was clear that everyone who could speak up in the entire Sixth Iron Battalion had come.
He Siyi, along with his family and Professor Liang, welcomed them.
The men started talking, and after listening for a while, Shiyue found it uninteresting and quietly slipped out of the room.
Liang Yueming then went to serve Fu Yunfang.
She lived with Fu Yunfang ever since she married into the He family.
Although the young couple later moved to a small villa, they would go home almost every night to have dinner with the two elderly people.
When she gave birth to Jiajia, her mother-in-law took good care of her.
After not seeing her for several months, Liang Yueming noticed that her mother-in-law had changed into this state. Although she didn't say anything, Liang Yueming could tell from her appearance that her mother-in-law was very distressed.
She was very considerate to her mother-in-law throughout the journey, and even after they settled in, she continued to take care of her.
It was the kind of sincerity that came from the heart.
Although Shiyue had lived with Fu Yunfang for a while, to be honest, her feelings for her couldn't compare to those for Fu Yunfang.
They'd only known each other for a short time, and since the moment she met her, her mother-in-law had already been quite confused, making it rather difficult to build a relationship.
Therefore, Shiyue usually doesn't approach them at such times.
As soon as she stepped outside, she heard Jiajia talking to someone.
She glanced over there and saw a woman in her twenties standing at the gate, chatting with Jiajia.
The woman had delicate features, a long face, and short hair that reached her ears.
Wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and altered blue military pants, he looked both energetic and capable.
Seeing her come out, Jiajia immediately called out, "Auntie, Auntie, Aunt Cui is here! Aunt Cui brought breakfast today!"
When she saw Shiyue come out, the woman smiled at her and then took the initiative to greet her.
She said, "You must be Shiyue. I am Cui Yun, the wife of Battalion Political Commissar Qi Feng."
As she spoke, she held up the basket she was carrying: "Since you just arrived, I didn't know if you would like the food in the cafeteria, so I thought I'd bring some vegetables over first, in case you want to cook something yourself?"
Shiyue then realized that the person hadn't come empty-handed; they were carrying a vegetable basket.
The basket contained a lot of vegetables.
There were leafy greens, eggplants, peppers, and cucumbers and tomatoes, which are rarely seen in inland areas at this time of year.
She quickly went over to greet her, saying apologetically, "Sister-in-law, how could I trouble you to bring so many things over?"
Seeing her politeness, Cui Yun's smile deepened.
"It's no trouble at all. What's the trouble? It's all just some things we grow at home."
She looked around the empty yard and said, "I wonder how long you'll stay? If you'll stay a long time, it would be very convenient to grow some vegetables in this yard."
The main thing is, Shiyue, you don't know, the vegetables here are growing really fast!
Cui Yun is indeed very talkative.
In just a few words, she had already taken Shiyue's arm, acting like best friends.
However, after a few words, Shiyue understood that the Sixth Iron Battalion was located in a remote area and was only a battalion-level unit.
You should know that these days only the families of officers at the battalion level or above can accompany the troops, and there are very few in the entire Sixth Iron Battalion who meet the requirements!
This has resulted in Cui Yun being the only family member who has accompanied the military to the entire camp.
After her husband went to work, she had no one to talk to!
She can't possibly chat with the young soldiers every day, can she?
Therefore, no one in the entire Iron Sixth Battalion was happier than Cui Yun when Shi Yue and his group came to stay temporarily!
She felt like it was almost Chinese New Year!
Cui Yun came from Beijing. She had a job there before, working as a textile factory worker.
If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to live apart from her husband for a long time, and that her child couldn't be separated from his father for extended periods, she wouldn't bother coming here!
The environment of the textile factory shaped Cui Yun's outgoing personality, especially when she met female comrades of the same age, she became very close to them.
In no time, she and Shiyue became as familiar as best friends who had known each other for over ten years and had grown up together.
Cui Yun told Shi Yue that their family lived in the row of houses in front, directly opposite the house where Shi Yue and He Lixuan lived.
You can see Shiyue and their small courtyard from her bedroom window.
She also said that she has two children, a boy and a girl.
The boy is six years old and the girl is four years old; they are both at the age where they are very mischievous.
Those two little guys had nothing better to do, so today they insisted on going to town with the cooks to buy groceries.
When they come back, they'll definitely want to come over and play again, and then Jiajia will have playmates...
Anyway, Cui Yun seemed to have a lot to say.
Shiyue barely opened her mouth, yet she talked on and on.
Without even asking, Shiyue had almost figured out everything about her family's ancestors.
Fortunately, the people inside came out quickly.
If she doesn't come out soon, Shiyue feels she might even find out how many children Qi Feng's family has had over several generations.
As soon as Qi Feng came out, he saw his wife chatting endlessly with another woman, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
He immediately said, "Cui Yun, stop talking, get ready to leave! Don't keep them from resting."
Then he turned and said goodbye to the people who had seen him off.
In that short time, Cui Yun had already arranged to take Shi Yue to the town market the next morning.
After the group left, the whole family went back inside and sat down again.
Shiyue had just moved a small stool when Liang Yueming squeezed next to her.
She chuckled quietly, "Did Cui Yun also try to talk to you? Oh, you don't know, she started chatting with me non-stop as soon as she arrived this morning. My head was about to explode from all her talking!"
Thinking back to what had just happened, Shiyue couldn't help but laugh.
She said, "I think Sister Cui is a very nice person, she's very warm and welcoming."
Liang Yueming smiled and said, "Yes, I think it's great too. Having someone like this to talk to makes me feel much closer to this place."
Political Commissar Qi and Battalion Commander Wu's visit was clearly not just a casual visit; they came with a mission.
After exchanging a few words, He Siyi led his second son, third son, and Professor Liang into another empty room.
Principal He temporarily converted that room into a study.
While the science students were busy with their own things, He Liping, the only liberal arts student in the family, was not idle either.
He went straight to the camp.
Then, not long after, he returned with a young soldier.
When the two of them returned, each of them was carrying a thick stack of documents.
The information had obviously been prepared in advance.
They were all packed in large kraft paper envelopes. Shiyue noticed that several of them still had sealing strips and were stamped with seals across the seams.
She knew this involved a secret, so she quickly pulled Liang Yueming away to avoid it.
She didn't understand what the men were doing, and Shiyue felt that she should focus on doing the logistical work first.
