The others were exhausted from sitting on the train for several days, but the three of them were fine, feeling full of energy when they got off the train.
Standing at the exit surrounded by a sea of people, the contrast is clear.
"Comrade, do you want to go to the General Political Department first, or do you want to follow us back to the West District compound?" Xiang Lifeng turned his head and asked Zheng Jiqing.
Zheng Jiqing glanced around and said, "I'll go to the General Political Department. Comrade 놋 will come to pick me up later."
Others said they must be on their way, so it's better to let them run away.
Xiang Lifeng and Fu Jingchen naturally understood.
After a brief farewell, the two of them returned to the West District compound, while Zheng Jiqing waited for comrades from the General Political Department at the agreed location.
Although the West District compound is also located in the capital, the people living there have military ranks high enough to reach the headquarters, but their registered residence is in Beijing.
Take the Xiang and Fu families as an example. Both of their fathers served in the military region outside the capital, and before that, the family could only reunite during holidays.
"I haven't been back since the incident at your house."
While walking along the outermost edge of the compound, Xiang Lifeng looked around and said, "Looking at this place now, it seems that nothing has changed."
He grew up in a compound and was a good friend of the Fu family. After the incident with the Fu family, he didn't want to come back at all, so he saved up so many vacations.
Fu Jingchen said lightly: "This is why you want to come back to visit your relatives."
Xiang Lifeng choked, and the emotion that had just arisen in his mind disappeared in an instant.
Turning around, Fu Jingchen's eyes showed understanding, and he must have seen something.
Knowing so many people, Xiang Lifeng had never felt his gaze was so oppressive.
But he did not intend to back down, and said seriously: "I will cause trouble to Comrade Fu Haitang."
This is no different from confessing one's true feelings.
"It's better this way," Fu Jingchen said seriously. "She has her own dream and has always regarded you as my comrade-in-arms. We all fully respect her decision."
After seeing the military ruffian Chu Wenzhou, Fu Jingchen was afraid that Xiang Lifeng would become like this.
"What is her dream?" Xiang Lifeng couldn't help asking.
Fu Jingchen paused and said, "Enter the female soldier company." What a secret this is, he plans to keep it hidden.
Xiang Lifeng seemed to be thinking about it.
As they were talking, several people arrived at the gate of the West District compound.
Compared to two days ago, the guards had been replaced by a new group, but the two men were wearing military uniforms and had letters of introduction in hand, so they were quickly released.
When Fu Jingchen knocked on the door, Fu's mother was playing with Xiaoyi in the yard.
I heard a knock on the door and got up quickly, thinking it was my neighbor.
When he opened the door, he widened his eyes in disbelief, "Jingchen, why are you back?" His tone was both surprised and happy.
"I'm on vacation." As he spoke, Fu Jingchen looked around the yard.
The yard was swept spotlessly clean, and even the steps leading into the house were spotless.
Seeing his doubts, Fu's mother smiled and made way for him, "Everyone is here to help clean up."
The Fu family was rehabilitated, and everyone with a discerning eye was willing to do some favors. Some brought servants to help, some looked after the children, and one person would have to clean for two or three days, but in fact it only took one day.
"Come on, you must be exhausted after such a long journey. Come in and have a rest."
Mother Fu arranged for him to rest. Xiao Yi also raised his eyes curiously and looked at the tall man in front of him. When he saw his face clearly, he opened his arms and said, "Daddy, hug me."
Apparently his memory was still good; even after being apart for a few days, he still remembered his father.
Fu Jingchen picked him up and followed Mother Fu into the house.
The duplex house is exactly the same as I remember it, even the picture frame hanging at the corner of the stairs is as shiny as new.
Noticing his gaze, Fu's mother smiled and said, "Although no one lives there, they are still well maintained. I have cleaned up your rooms, and I don't know when Manman and Haitang will be back."
“That’s right!”
At this point, Fu's mother asked again: "Did you tell Manman about your return to the capital?"
"No." Fu Jingchen answered truthfully.
Mother Fu was curious, "Then why did you come back suddenly?"
No one knows better than her mother. She also understands Fu Jingchen. Even if she misses his wife, she will never come back for no reason.
Fu Jingchen briefly told Jiang Yuman about her happiness on the phone.
"I've heard from your father that the General Political Department has high and strict requirements. There must be a lot of pressure there." Fu's mother sighed.
Fu Jingchen stopped talking.
On the phone, Jiang Yuman said that the training was fine and that it was very likely that this matter would be resolved.
If I tell my mother, she will know clearly and will only become more anxious.
Fu Jingchen had already made up his mind to go to the General Political Department to see his wife in the afternoon, so he didn't say much.
Instead, he asked, "Is there anything I can help you with at home?"
Mother Fu was stunned. "Are you going to rest?"
"I slept on the train."
"Well, you're tall, and there's a place in the kitchen where you can be used." Mother Fu quickly led him over, "Except here, there's a problem with the water pipes."
In this way, two adults and one child quickly started working in the kitchen.
The adults are helping, but Xiaoyi is making things more complicated.
There were too many things, and Fu's mother was afraid that Xiaoyi would eat them while they were not paying attention, so she quickly carried him out.
When I opened the gate, someone happened to be outside.
"Sister-in-law, I just saw someone coming into the house from a distance. He looked very much like Jingchen. Is Jingchen back?"
The person who was speaking was Nan Rong, the daughter-in-law of the leader of the Northwest Military Region, and there were three families between her and the Fu family.
They usually meet each other many times, and usually just nod to each other.
Because their relationship was not so good, she only sat for a short while when Fu's mother brought her grandson back and left soon.
"Yes." Mother Fu did not hide it, "Jingchen is back from vacation, would you like to come in and sit with us?"
"I still have to go out, so I'll just sit down."
Nan Rong waved her hands and watched Xiao Yi imitate her. Her eyes flickered for a second before she smiled and said, "You're really good. You're much better than my naughty monkey."
Everyone likes others to praise their younger generations, and Mrs. Fu is no exception.
The corners of his lips curled up, and he had to say something modest, "He's naughty, but like his mother, he's smart."
Hearing her mention her daughter-in-law, Nan Rong hesitated, "Speaking of this, I forgot to ask you last time. Is Jiang Yuman still with you guys?"
Jiang Yuman was well-known in the West District compound. Not that her reputation was very good, but mainly because she was a negative example in the entire compound.
Not long after the marriage, everyone shook their heads whenever someone mentioned the daughter-in-law of the Fu family.
This time, when everyone saw Mother Fu bringing her grandson back alone, they knew for sure that Jiang Yuman had run away.
Because 놊 wanted to mention Fu's mother's sad story, he didn't even ask.
"What you said," Fu's mother heard her tone was right and frowned, "Of course Manman is with us."
"Oh?" Nan Rong looked suspicious. "How come I didn't see her when she was with you guys?"
Speaking of this, Fu's mother smiled and said, "I am training the art troupe in the General Political Department."
"So that's how it is." Nan Rong nodded.
He said a few more words before leaving.
Turning around, he sneered at me.
You really think people are stupid. How could the General Political Department just go in so easily? Not to mention Jiang Yuman.
The daughter-in-law ran away, and she used this as an excuse. It seems that the Fu family has learned good habits after going to the countryside and learned to decorate their home.
Here, Nan Rong was already complaining in her heart.
Over there, Jiang Yuman had already reunited with Fu Haitang, and the two of them were preparing to return to the West District compound.
