Lin Qiyue slept for a day and a night on the train and finally arrived in Xicheng.
"Honey, the money's almost in the account, get up quickly!" Lan Yuchu immediately called out to Lin Qiyue to get up when she heard the announcement for the next stop.
Lin Qiyue, still half asleep, turned over, wanting to go back to sleep.
Lan Yuchu chuckled helplessly, then gently patted Lin Qiyue's cheek and softly called out again, "Little wife, we're almost there!"
Lin Qiyue couldn't stand his calls any longer and had no choice but to force herself to open her eyes.
He rubbed his eyes and replied to Lan Yuchu, "I'm awake~ I'll get up soon."
Hearing Lin Qiyue's soft and sweet voice, Lan Yuchu immediately helped him up with a doting expression.
"Honey, let's get some sleep when we get there. It's a bit more tiring now." Lan Yuchu smoothed Lin Qiyue's hair.
Lin Qiyue opened her eyes and saw Lan Yuchu, saying, "I want to eat meat, and I want ice water?"
She dreamed of ice water, opened it and took a sip, and it felt incredibly refreshing.
"Okay, when we get there, I'll go buy a refrigerator for my wife tomorrow and buy you some ice water." Lan Yuchu coaxed Lin Qiyue with doting tenderness.
Lin Qiyue then opened her eyes with satisfaction.
They arrived at the station quickly. Because they were in such a hurry, the two of them didn't have much luggage, just one large duffel bag.
"Wow, how come you're back so soon?" At this moment, a man in military uniform came over to greet Lan Yuchu.
Lan Yuchu responded indifferently, "Something came up at home. If there's nothing else, I'll come early to show Qiyue around."
"July, this is Xing Jianguo, my comrade-in-arms in the army," Lan Yuchu introduced to Lin Qiyue.
Lin Qiyue looked Xing Jianguo up and down. He was thin and dark-skinned, with a slight smile on his face. He didn't have regular features, and he looked like an honest and simple-minded type.
"Hello?"
"Hello, sister-in-law. I've known Yu Chu for a few years." Xing Jianguo looked Lin Qiyue up and down. She was a very beautiful girl with fair and delicate skin.
Perhaps it was because Lan Yuchu had taken good care of Lin Qiyue over the past two weeks that her skin had become a shade lighter and had a rosy, tender look.
She gives the impression of being somewhat frail and needing to be protected.
That has indeed been the case these past few days; it has always been Lan Yuchu protecting her.
"Shall we get in the car first?" Lan Yuchu felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Xing Jianguo staring at his wife.
They put their luggage directly onto the jeep, a camouflage jeep truck commonly used in military camps.
After Lan Yuchu put the luggage up, he put his arms around Lin Qiyue's waist and lifted her up.
There are four seats in total. Lan Yuchu and Lin Qiyue will sit in the back, and Xing Jianguo will sit in the front.
Driving from the city outskirts to the suburbs, it was very dark all the way, and the surrounding area was mostly crops or tall weeds.
The road was full of potholes, and the car shook.
Lin Qiyue felt like she was about to vomit bitter water, but she endured it for a long time to avoid embarrassing herself.
"Sorry, it's too late. This route will be faster. If we're going through the city, we'll need a permit." Xing Jianguo explained somewhat apologetically, seeing Lin Qiyue's discomfort in the rearview mirror.
Lan Yuchu protected Lin Qiyue the whole way, trying to ease her mind.
He had driven before and knew that this speed was already very slow.
"Do we need a pass to enter the city now?" Lan Yu frowned upon hearing the key point and asked, "Why do we suddenly need a pass?"
"I'm not sure, it only started in the last few days. But any truck or car needs a permit to pass through."
Xing Jianguo didn't know the specifics, but he knew that something big must have happened above.
Lan Yuchu gently patted Lin Qiyue's back, remaining silent.
Xing Jianguo didn't continue speaking, and Lin Qiyue also realized that the next six months were crucial.
Before they fell from power, most cities were controlled by those people, who could do whatever they wanted.
They soon arrived at the military base, where the first checkpoint was guarded by four soldiers.
Lan Yuchu took out their marriage certificate from her bag.
Xing Jianguo took out the application form for military dependents issued by the army, and the guard saw these documents.
One of them walked up to Lan Yuchu, bent down to look at her, and then saluted Lan Yuchu and Xing Jianguo, saying, "Deputy Battalion Commander Xing, Battalion Commander Lan, your wife needs to come down and register."
Lan Yuchu got out of the car first, and then helped Lin Qiyue out of the car.
Lin Qiyue walked to a table with a pen and paper for registration. She picked up the pen, bent down, and registered her personal information according to the instructions.
Lan Yuchu also signed her name and asked, "Is it okay now?"
The guard replied, "Reporting to Battalion Commander Lan, it's ready."
Once Lin Qiyue and Lan Yuchu returned to the car, the guard gave a signal and immediately let them pass.
After the car drove away, he showed a surprised expression.
Their gossipy eyes didn't lie; they were inwardly astonished, exclaiming, "When did Battalion Commander Lan get a wife? And they've been married for three years?"
About ten minutes later, we stopped at the family compound. By then, most people were already asleep; it was past midnight.
Lan Yuchu took the luggage down, and Xing Jianguo got out of the car and took out the house key.
"Don't worry about the late-night snacks, I've arranged for the cafeteria to prepare special meals for you. Today, Xiao Le from the publicity department and I cleaned your rooms inside and out, and brought back all the pots, pans, and dishes, so they're basically all usable."
Lan Yuchu took the keys and said to Xing Jianguo, "Thanks, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"I'm waiting, I want to eat meat." Xing Jianguo didn't stand on ceremony at all. "I'll bring you some late-night snacks later."
