That winter, Zhou Ting'an called her and warmly invited her to spend the Spring Festival at the military base.
He Wan looked at the sky, which was gradually getting colder. The educated youth settlement wasn't particularly deserted, since there were still a few children there.
However, for her, having no one to talk to was quite boring.
If we could still sell some goods in Chuncheng, that would be good, so we agreed.
When the battalion commander heard that she wanted to visit her family at the military base, he immediately approved it.
Over the years, the villagers have come to know that He Wan has an uncle in Beijing, an old man named He in the county town, and a boyfriend in the army.
Several years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiaohe, the former educated youth, is no longer young. Everyone is going there this time to discuss marriage because of her.
He Wan had no idea about any of this. After being taken to the county town by Grandpa Chen, she didn't go to the train station to catch a bus. Instead, she drove her car slowly towards Chuncheng.
While passing through a prefecture-level city, He Wan also shipped out a batch of goods.
About two days later, we arrived at Chuncheng Railway Station.
At this time, Zhou Ting'an was already waiting for her at the train exit station.
She pretended to have just come out, carrying large and small bags, and greeted him: "Brother Zhou."
"Why is Wanwan carrying so many things?"
"A bag of clothes, a bag of food, not much."
Zhou Ting'an smiled and took the things from her hands, saying, "I've prepared everything, including food and daily necessities. This year, I was allocated a two-bedroom apartment."
"They've allocated rooms? Is Brother Zhou getting married?"
"We're not married yet. If we were to get married, I would definitely tell you in advance."
"Don't you only get housing in the military after you get married?"
"No, come on, get in the car first, and I'll tell you later."
The two chatted as they walked towards the car.
Tsk, military vehicles are just different from hers.
I only found out along the way that everyone assumed he hadn't had a wedding because he didn't have a house, since he had been dating the leader's daughter for so long.
So this year, his boss assigned him a house.
"I've already told my supervisor that I don't need it, but the name has already been submitted."
As for Comrade Yang, the man she had been longing for had actually returned, and his family knew about it.
They didn't report this to their superiors either. I guess they meant that they considered this apartment as compensation for me over the past few years.
He Wan chuckled upon hearing this: "Compensation? You didn't lose much."
Zhou Ting'an laughed as well: "Yes, with Comrade Yang around, she helped me fend off a lot of female comrades. She's a bit... how should I put it, a bit fierce. I've had a few meals with her, and she had to arrange everything."
He Wan said, "I understand, I understand. She's quite assertive and likes to be in control of everything. Tsk, big brother, not bad. I feel like you're afraid of her."
As Zhou Ting'an drove, he shook his head and said, "Yes, there is some. When we get there, I'll introduce you to her. I might need to be on duty at the military base for a while. If you're bored at home, you can go shopping with her."
He Wan thought it best to forget about it. Judging from what he said, this Comrade Yang was a man of his own mind, and she herself was also a man of her own mind. She probably wouldn't get along with him.
This was He Wan's first time visiting the military base. She went through the gate, registered, underwent inspection, and reported her whereabouts.
The residential compounds here are very well-developed. Some of them are new buildings.
The apartment that Zhou Ting'an was allocated was on the second floor of a unit in the new building.
There were two beds, two cabinets, a dining table and several chairs in the living room. It seemed that they had been hastily set up because of her arrival.
"This room was prepared for you. The bed has already been made, with sheets that you women like."
Zhou Ting'an helped He Wan put her bag inside the house, and then went downstairs to get a lot of ingredients from the car.
He Wan then realized that he had bought a lot of rice, flour, and cooking oil in the city in advance.
