Chapter 183 Heading to Kashiwa City
Tan Chen got the letter of introduction very smoothly and walked quickly towards the town with Shang Ruoting.
To go to Bai City, they had to take a bus to Zhuang City, the provincial capital. However, when they arrived in Zhuang City, they found that the train to Bai City had stopped running.
Although Shang Ruoting is a soul from the 22nd century, she is completely helpless when encountering such a thing in this different time and space.
"What should we do? Are we going to walk to Kashiwa City?"
Tan Chen looked at the sky and it was already noon.
"Don't worry, I guess Gao Ming and the others might be going there to provide disaster relief. Let's see if they can take us with them."
"Let's find a post office and call him first."
Shang Ruoting nodded, and the two of them went to the post office that Jiang Yuan mentioned last time.
After completing the long-distance call procedures at the counter, Tan Chen dialed a number.
Someone answered the phone quickly.
"Hello, this is the xxx unit."
Tan Chen said in a deep voice into the microphone, "Is Comrade Gao Ming here?"
The person who answered the phone was obviously a little excited after hearing this voice: "Are you the leader?"
Tan Chen: "It's me. Is Gao Ming here?"
The person on the other end of the phone said, "He just went out. Captain, please wait a moment. I'll go call him right away."
Soon, Gao Ming's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Boss, is that you?"
Tan Chen didn't have time to reminisce with him at the moment, so he got straight to the point: "Well, it's me. There's an earthquake in Bai City. Will our troops go to provide disaster relief?"
Gao Ming didn't know why Tan Chen had called him long distance to inquire about disaster relief, so he answered truthfully, "I just received an order from above to gather people and set off immediately."
Tan Chen: "Your sister-in-law and I are in Zhuang City. The train to Bai City has stopped running. Would it be convenient for you to come and pick us up?"
Gao Ming: "Boss, I heard there are still frequent aftershocks in Bai City. I'm afraid it's not safe for you to bring your sister-in-law with you."
Tan Chen was obviously a little anxious: "Stop talking nonsense, can you pick us up?"
Gao Ming understood Tan Chen's temper and knew that he must be very anxious.
"Okay, I'll apply to my superiors right away and go to Zhuang City to pick you up first."
Tan Chen: "I'll wait for you at the guesthouse in front of the station."
"Boss, I'll apply right away..."
“Beep…beep…beep…beep…”
Before Gao Ming could finish his words, a busy tone came from the phone...
Tan Chen took Shang Ruoting's hand and walked out of the post office. Because they had something on their mind, they found a state-owned restaurant to have lunch and then went to the guesthouse in front of the station.
The waiting time is long, especially this kind of waiting with concern in the heart.
I finally made it to dawn the next day in the guesthouse, but Gao Ming still didn't show up.
Tan Chen knew that Shang Ruoting was anxious, and he was anxious too, so he planned to go to the post office and call the army to ask whether Gao Ming had set off.
As soon as the two walked out of the guesthouse gate, they saw an army green jeep parked there.
Gao Ming stuck his head out of the car window: "Boss, sister-in-law, I'm here."
Tan Chen nodded and asked Gao Ming to wait for a moment. He went back to check out, packed his things, and got into the jeep with Shang Ruoting.
As soon as the two of them got in the car, Gao Ming couldn't help but ask, "Boss, you and your sister-in-law are in such a hurry to go to Bai City. Don't tell me it's just to help with disaster relief?"
Their purpose in going to Bai City was impossible for Tan Chen to say, "It's strange that we're going there for disaster relief."
Gao Ming certainly didn't believe this. Based on his understanding of Tan Chen, even if he wanted to go to the disaster relief, he would not take his wife with him.
"Boss, stop making trouble. Who brings their wife to help with disaster relief?"
"What's so strange about me going to disaster relief? Aren't there still many female soldiers in your army? For example, that Su Qiaoli last time..." Shang Ruoting suddenly thought of Su Qiaoli for some reason.
When Gao Ming saw her mention Su Qiaoli, he immediately changed the subject.
"sister in law
"Don't be angry about Su Qiaoli and the boss anymore. She and Chen Xiangyang are already engaged, and the wedding is scheduled for September."
Shang Ruoting had never considered Su Qiaoli a love rival. She mentioned her just now because she only knew the name of this female soldier.
"Whether she gets married or not is none of my business."
Tan Chen was a little unhappy when Gao Ming mentioned Su Qiaoli: "You should think about yourself! You are already in your twenties and you don't even have a partner."
clever……
Why are you talking about the fact that you don’t have a partner?
Along the way, they saw many vehicles heading towards Kashiwa City. It was not until dark that they arrived near Kashiwa City.
As a result, all the vehicles were stuck there.
Gao Ming jumped out of the car and went to the front to check the situation, but the news he brought back was not optimistic.
"Boss, sister-in-law, I heard there's a landslide ahead, blocking the road. Cars can't get through at all."
Tan Chen pulled Shang Ruoting out of the car and said, "In that case, let's go there on foot."
Although Gao Ming didn't know the real purpose of Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting going to Bai City, he could see clearly how anxious they were.
"Boss, sister-in-law, if you're in a hurry, just go ahead! The car is here. I have to wait until the road is clear. It's just the right time to wait and meet up with the main force."
Tan Chen nodded: "Okay, see you in Bai City."
