Chapter 178 Are you sure?
"Did you see which direction the person went?"
The man shook his head again, "There were too many people, my sight was blocked for a while, and when I squeezed over, the person was gone."
The beautiful woman could not hide her disappointment.
She looked around, but there were so many people and women with children that it was impossible to find him.
When she looked away, the hope in the woman's eyes slowly disappeared.
The man pressed her shoulders and half-huggled her.
He comforted her softly, "Don't worry. It's New Year's Day. The sister-in-law came to Beijing with her family. She should be going to her husband's or her own family. She won't go back so soon. I'll ask those of us who stay here to look around... Let's go back as planned. Maybe your child is at home?"
The beautiful woman hesitated, raised her head and looked into the distance.
From a distance, she made eye contact with a little girl waiting for the bus under the bus stop. She
looked away after just one glance.
She slowly exhaled, "Well, you're right. It's just a look-alike. What if my child is at home?"
The man felt a little relieved and nodded slightly.
"Let's go. Our train is about to arrive."
The woman nodded, and the man protected her as they walked to the station in the crowded crowd.
On the other side, Li Zhenzhu turned her head, blinked strangely, looked back twice, and pulled Li Liuli's clothes.
"Sister, there was an aunt over there, hey, she's gone..."
Li Liuli looked over in confusion, "What happened?"
"She looks..."
Li Zhenzhu frowned and glanced at Fan Qingyi who was concentrating on looking at the route, "She looks a lot like our mother."
"Oh, there are many people in big cities, so there should be many people who look like her."
Li Liuli didn't take it to heart, and Li Zhenzhu didn't think much about it, and the two sisters skipped the topic.
Fan Qingyi confirmed the route, and saw out of the corner of her eye that a bus that came into the station happened to be the one they could take, so she immediately called the twins.
They changed several times along the way, and I don't know how many stops they took.
The twins were excited at the beginning, but they were depressed when they got off the bus.
"Mom, are we there yet?" Li Zhenzhu asked, rubbing her eyes.
Fan Qingyi touched his daughter's head distressedly, "Not yet, this is the terminal of this bus. It's a military stronghold ahead, and the bus can't get there. We have to find a taxi to get there."
Li Zhenzhu said "oh" with little strength, and squeezed to the side of Li Liuli.
Li Liuli supported half of her body and looked at Fan Qingyi, "Mom, there's no one here, how about letting Xiao Shanhu and Zhuzhu go in to rest?"
"I don't want to, I want to see Dad later." Li Zhenzhu refused.
Fan Qingyi said okay.
The mother and daughter waited for a long time, and finally a taxi passed by. When they heard that it was going to the army, they smiled and took the mother and daughter in.
"Sister-in-law, are you here to visit relatives in the army?"
Fan Qingyi smiled and said yes. The taxi driver became more enthusiastic and kept saying nice things.
"...The troops stationed here have all been on the battlefield with real guns and swords. Those who stand out are real heroes. Sister-in-law, as a family member, you have worked hard to take care of the children..."
Fan Qingyi responded with a smile.
Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped, and the driver pointed to the ordinary gate not far ahead and smiled, "We're here."
After paying the fare, Fan Qingyi got off the car with the child.
Just after walking a few steps, the horn of the car behind them sounded, and a green jeep drove past the mother and daughter.
When they arrived at the gate, the car stopped, and a woman stuck her head out and called Fan Qingyi.
"Hey!"
Fan Qingyi looked up and saw the girl's mother who ignored her on the train.
She was surprised, because she didn't expect that the girl's mother's husband was also a soldier in this place.
"Mom, sister, it's the unreasonable auntie in the car!" Li Zhenzhu exclaimed.
The girl's mother glared at Li Zhenzhu, "Who is unreasonable? It's obviously you who are so inhumane. There are so many things, but we can't even eat two bites..."
Halfway through her words, someone seemed to urge her.
She simply opened the door and got out of the car, standing there waiting for Fan Qingyi.
Fan Qingyi frowned slightly, ignored her, and walked straight to the soldier guarding the gate, "Hello, I'm looking for someone."
The soldier raised his hand to salute, and asked the other party's name and unit.
Fan Qingyi explained it in detail, and finally gave her name, "... Li Wenfeng."
When she said the name, the door of the jeep opened again. The soldier driving the car glanced at Fan Qingyi casually and called the girl's mother, "Sister-in-law, the deputy regiment commander is still waiting for you in the yard. Let's go in quickly?"
"What's the hurry?"
The girl's mother waved her hand, walked over, and showed off to Fan Qingyi.
"Did you hear it? My man has been promoted to deputy regiment commander. Do you know what deputy regiment commander means?"
Fan Qingyi didn't look at her, but only at the soldier.
The soldier saluted, "Please wait a moment, I will check for you."
He trotted in, went to the small house at the door, and called to inquire.
"Big sister..."
Li Zhenzhu didn't say that she always felt uneasy in her heart, and Li Liuli's little face was also tense.
The two sisters stood beside Fan Qingyi, and like Fan Qingyi, they looked intently at the soldier who was making a phone call at the gate.
After a while, the soldier came out and saluted Fan Qingyi.
"Sister-in-law, there is no such person in our military region. There are four major military regions in Beijing. Did you... remember the wrong military region?"
Fan Qingyi was stunned for a moment. The uneasiness that had risen since she left the station became even stronger at this moment.
She shook her head and mentioned the division, regiment, battalion, and even company of Li Wenfeng's unit. "Comrade, please help ask again. Li Wenfeng has been a soldier here for ten years. It is impossible that there is no such person."
When Li Wenfeng's name came out, the soldier driving the car next to the girl's mother suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Fan Qingyi.
Unlike the casual look just now, this time, his eyes were complicated and full of meaning.
"Are you sure?"
the soldier asked again.
Fan Qingyi nodded affirmatively.
The soldier sighed and shook his head, "There is no way. We have confirmed again and again that there is indeed no such person as Li Wenfeng in our military region. Sister-in-law...you can go to other military regions to ask."
"How could there be no such person?"
For a moment, Fan Qingyi also thought that she had remembered the address wrong.
But this address has been stored in her mind for ten years, and she has been thinking about it in her heart for ten years. How could she remember it wrong!
A panic and fear that made people feel uncomfortable rose in her heart, just like when the post office received a returned letter saying that the person did not exist.
Li Liuli noticed the change in Fan Qingyi, and quickly stepped forward, holding her arm and tightening it, "Mom."
Fan Qingyi looked at her, "Ali, he said your dad is not here, but..."
"Hey, let me say, your man is not a soldier at all, is he?"
The girl's mother looked at Fan Qingyi with a mocking expression and a lively expression, "Are you pretending to be a soldier's family here?"
"We are not pretending!"
Li Zhenzhu stood in front with her neck stiff, "My dad comes home every year to tell us about his work in the army, and he is serving in the army here!"
"Where is that man?"
