Chapter 71: Qing City
For the rest of the day, I spent the day reading while my mother-in-law took care of my meals.
Seeing that the departure was almost approaching, Tang Yue suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked her mother-in-law, "Mom, does Brother Shengrui know when we will leave? Does he have time to come and pick us up? Did you tell him in advance? We have so many things, it will be difficult to take them back without a car."
"Don't worry, Mom sent a telegram to Shengrui when I bought the tickets. He will come to pick us up when the time comes. Even if he doesn't have time, he will ask someone else to pick us up. Don't worry, are you still confident in Mom's work?" Zhao's mother still recognized her ability to do things.
Since she had sent a telegram, Tang Yue was no longer worried. So far, her mother-in-law was still very reliable.
She glanced at her watch and saw that only two hours were left, but Tang Yue felt that the remaining time was so long. She hadn't seen Brother Sheng Rui for almost two and a half months, and she didn't know if he had gotten tanned or lost weight from training.
Two hours passed with great difficulty, and the bus was unexpectedly late. Tang Yue had always arrived on time when taking the bus before, but she never expected that this time she would encounter a train delay. She was a little nervous about meeting the person, after all, they got married too quickly, it was love at first sight, and they would be together for life when they met again, but they separated too quickly. They had not been together for long when the bus was suddenly delayed. The nervousness in her heart disappeared instantly, leaving only the irritation caused by sitting in the bus for a long time.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late. We arrived in Qingshi in about an hour. I had heard that there was a sea here, but I had never been to the beach. Finally, I fulfilled this little wish.
"Yueyue, the car has stopped. Just take your small backpack with you. I'll carry the rest of the things. Let's wait until everyone has left before getting off. This way, everyone will avoid rushing out like a swarm of bees and squeezing you down," Zhao's mother was relieved about her daughter-in-law and quickly reminded her.
"I know, Mom. There are so many people here right now, so I'm just trying to squeeze forward. Don't worry about me." Tang Yue cherishes the baby in her belly more than anyone else, so she naturally doesn't allow accidents to happen.
The middle-aged man and woman in the same carriage got off the train a day ago. Before getting off the train, they admitted defeat and said to Zhao's mother: "Sister, what I said that day was all for your own good. Who knows whether your daughter-in-law will treat you well when you are old? You must train her now. After she is trained well, she will not dare to ride on our heads and shit on us in the future."
Tang Yue originally thought that her daughters-in-law would have an easier life in the future, but according to what she said now, she was afraid that things would get worse when they returned. Suddenly, she was sorry for her daughters-in-law. They all said that getting married was like a second reincarnation, but who would have thought that this reincarnation was like falling into a pit.
When Zhao's mother heard her say this, she treated it as if she were a barking dog and ignored her. She felt that she was unlucky to have such a vicious person stay in the same carriage with her for several days.
The most unacceptable thing is the Chinese man next to him, who was indifferent to what his wife said. I don't know whether he was cowardly and dared to refute or praised his wife's statement. It's really admirable. However, most people in this era are like this, so it's okay to control it.
After waiting for more than a few minutes, Zhao's mother stood at the door and saw that most people had left. She picked up the luggage, which was fortunately heavy, and walked forward carefully, holding her daughter-in-law's hand.
Zhao Shengrui waited at the station for more than an hour. He saw the train arrive, but he didn't see his wife and mother. He couldn't help feeling anxious. When he saw that most people had left but hadn't come out yet, he felt worried. Fortunately, they came out after a while.
"Mom, wife, I'm here," Zhao Shengrui shouted as he walked forward.
As soon as Tang Yue and her mother-in-law got off the car, she heard a familiar voice calling them. She turned around and saw Zhao Shengrui running towards her. All the nervousness and unfamiliarity in her heart disappeared. She just wanted to hug him and cry. He had been by her side for so long during the pregnancy. Fortunately, she finally remembered what the occasion was and held back. She also knew that this was her choice. Being a military wife means that you will be together less and apart more.
"Shengrui, you came here by yourself. Did you drive? Where is your car?" When Zhao's mother saw her eldest son, she became worried, after all, he didn't bring much with him this time.
"Brother Shengrui, why do I feel like you've lost weight? It's probably because the training is very hard." Tang Yue felt that he had lost a lot of weight in the past few months.
"Mom, wife, I borrowed the army's car. My communicator is waiting in the car, so I came to check on the car." Then he touched his face and said, "Have I really lost weight? No, I don't feel it. I'm still training like usual and occasionally going on a mission."
Zhao Shengrui wanted to touch his wife's belly but didn't dare to do so. Seeing his expression, Tang Yue inexplicably wanted to laugh.
Mother Zhao couldn't bear to watch her old son like this. "Okay, then go home and take a good look. Also, see how long your wife has been sitting in the car. She must be tired."
When Zhao Shengrui heard what his mother said, he felt that he was too careless. He walked to Tang Yue and picked her up in his arms, "Mom, you look at this thing first. I'll send my wife to the car first, and then come back to pick up the things."
Tang Yue was picked up by her husband and quickly looked to the side to see how many people were there. Fortunately, not many people had left, but it was enough for her to feel embarrassed. She quickly buried her head in Zhao Shengrui's arms and pretended to be dead.
Zhao Shengrui put Tang Yue in the back seat, "Wife, this is my correspondent named Li Zhimin, you can just call him Xiao Li. Xiao Li, this is my wife, you can just call him sister-in-law."
"Hello, sister-in-law. Please sit down. The battalion commander and I will go move the luggage." Although Li Zhimin did not look at his sister-in-law's face, he felt embarrassed to sit in the car, so he got out quickly to prepare to move the things.
"Hello, Li 땢zhi, my last name is Tang, you can call me Tang 땢zhi", after all, we are familiar with each other, so it's okay to call me 땢zhi.
"I'd better call you sister-in-law. In the army, we call our comrades' wives sister-in-law."
"Okay, anything is fine." Since they all call me sister-in-law, then just let them do it. Tang Yue actually cares a lot about what they call her.
I waited in the car for more than a few minutes before putting all the checked luggage in the car. There was a lot of stuff, so I finally put it in the trunk and stuffed a little in the front before putting it down.
"Son, how far is this place from your unit? Are you sure you're going in the right direction? It may be convenient for buying things here, and it may also be convenient for my daughter-in-law to go to the hospital when she gives birth." Mother Zhao saw the direction the car was heading was becoming more and more desolate and uninhabited, and she became a little worried.
"Mom, it's still more than an hour and a half to the base. There's a supply and marketing cooperative for shopping. If you want to go to the county town, the army has a special car to pick you up. You just need to wait at the gate of the base. As for giving birth, there's a health center in the base. The doctors there are very skilled. The wives of the soldiers in the army all give birth there, so don't worry." Zhao Shengrui felt that although the location of his unit was a bit remote, it had everything it needed.
