Chapter 45
Meng Aiguo opened the envelope, took out the paper, shook it a few times, and then spread it out to examine it carefully.
Meng Aiguo frowned when reading the previous content, but after turning to the next page, the worry in his eyes instantly turned into joy.
Meng Mingxia began his letter by explaining that he had been transferred to another military command, which happened to be the same command served by Meng Aiguo's comrade-in-arms, Song Zhen. Meng Aiguo felt mixed emotions about his son being under the command of his old comrade. He worried about his comrade's preferential treatment, but was also happy to have someone to care for him.
What's even more coincidental is that Song Zhen is the comrade-in-arms that Meng Aiguo wrote to for help. It was because Song Zhen sent the letter of introduction that Pei Xingzhi and Meng Wanqiu had the opportunity to leave.
This also means that Meng Wanqiu and Meng Mingxia, brother and sister, will meet in Province Y.
Meng Mingxia had already learned from Song Zhen that Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi were coming, and she wrote back to say she would go pick them up, but the letter was delayed on the way. The letter arrived in the old city after the people had already left.
However, Meng Aiguo had already sent a telegram to his old comrade Song Zhen two days ago. Pei Xingzhi and Meng Wanqiu were in an unfamiliar place, and although Meng Aiguo felt embarrassed, he hoped his comrades could help him. He also asked Meng Wanqiu and Pei Xingzhi to visit them on his behalf.
Unexpectedly, Meng Mingxia had already arrived at the Y Province Military Region. His old comrade Song Zhen remained silent, and Meng Aiguo instantly understood his malicious intent: he must have wanted to see him in such shock.
Meng Aiguo cursed with a smile, but the vague uneasiness in his heart completely dissipated.
Our motherland is so vast, it is so lucky that a pair of children can meet in this way.
In the days to come, even if they are not with their parents, they can still take care of each other. When they encounter difficulties, are cold or hungry, there will always be a relative to rely on.
When Meng Aiguo told the good news to others, everyone's sadness of parting instantly dissipated.
"Really? Where Xiaowan and the others went, Mingxia was also there?"
Li Lanxiang grabbed Meng Aiguo's clothes, her eyes widened with disbelief and surprise.
Although she had always insisted that her daughter Meng Wanqiu leave with Pei Xingzhi, Meng Wanqiu really left. As a mother, she was more worried than anyone else.
Meng Aiguo patted his wife's arm soothingly, smiled and nodded.
Dong Hanyun was so surprised that she was speechless, and kept muttering words like "That's great".
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Grandma Meng's eyes. After all, this was the child she had loved since childhood.
As parents and elders, we should not restrict our children's pace. Even though we are reluctant and worried, we still have to endure and watch our children flap their wings and fly far away.
Meng Yanchun was not at home. He went to the Youth League Home to help Pei Xingzhi deliver the things and letter he left for Pi Jingxuan to him.
Pei Xingzhi and Meng Wanqiu left quietly without disturbing anyone else.
When the villagers of Qinghe Village saw that Xu Cheng had been the scorekeeper for several consecutive days, they realized that they had not seen Pei Xingzhi and Meng Wanqiu for several days.
When someone asked Meng Aiguo about the whereabouts of the other man, Meng Aiguo vaguely said that his comrades had given him two worker quotas.
Hearing this, everyone understood. Immediately, they were filled with envy and jealousy. Two worker quotas, and Pei Xingzhi, a son-in-law from another family, actually got them.
The sourness in Ding Heng's heart was about to overflow. After hearing this, the jealousy that had disappeared for a long time surged up again. He regretted why he did not take the lead over Pei Xing and marry Meng Wanqiu.
If he was the one who married Meng Wanqiu, then everything Pei Xingzhi has now would be his.
He left the countryside and went to the city to work as a worker. His parents had three children, all boys, and Ding Heng was the least favored one among them.
When he went home to visit his family during the Spring Festival, his parents said they would use their connections to arrange for him to return to the city, but year after year passed, there was no sign of him.
Pei Xingzhi, a man without parents or family, actually got what he had always dreamed of so easily.
God, you are so unfair.
Some people always complain about this and that when they encounter problems, and never think about their own problems. They always focus on what others get, but never think about what they have paid. They only blame others and do not change themselves.
Such people are trapped in the swamp of jealousy. The more they struggle, the deeper they sink until darkness engulfs them.
Y Province, ×× Railway Station.
Pei Xingzhi and Meng Wanqiu were taken to an office by the staff. The staff were very friendly and served them tea and a few pieces of peach cakes.
"Please wait a moment, we have already contacted the child's mother."
After the staff member finished speaking, he turned and left.
Meng Wanqiu checked Tongtong's condition and found that he had inhaled some knockout drugs and fell into a coma.
Not long after, Sister Li came over. Her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, her eyes were wet, and her hands and feet were trembling slightly. She was obviously frightened.
Before coming, the staff had already explained the whole incident to Sister Li. Sister Li knew that it was a young couple who saved Tongtong, but she did not expect that it was the Meng Wanqiu couple whom she met by chance in the car.
Sister Li couldn't help but feel scared. If she had saved her face and didn't talk to the two people in the car, would Tongtong have been abducted by human traffickers?
After getting off the train, Sister Li went to the toilet and asked Tongtong to wait for her outside. She didn't expect that the human traffickers were so bold that they would attack a child in such a crowded place.
When Sister Li came out and saw that Tongtong was gone, her legs went weak and she almost fainted. But her worry about Tongtong took over and she hoped that Tongtong might have just run away because he was having fun.
When the staff finally notified Sister Li, she was completely paralyzed by fear.
Because Tongtong was unconscious, Sister Li was worried about his health and rushed him to the hospital for a checkup. After thanking the couple profusely, she left her home address and told them to come to her house if they needed anything. She certainly wouldn't refuse, so she took Tongtong away.
Pei Xingzhi and Meng Wanqiu didn't take it to heart. They were not the kind of people who would repay a favor. They were strangers to each other, and it would be a big taboo to visit rashly.
The child was picked up by his parents and the two were planning to leave. Although the station was still noisy, it was already dark outside.
With so much luggage, they had to find a guesthouse to rest for a night, and then inquire about the location of the 715 Factory the next day.
After settling down, I will also visit Meng Aiguo’s comrades to thank them for their help.
Just as the two were packing up to leave, the previous staff member appeared again. He looked evasive and asked them to wait a moment.
Pei Xingzhi and Meng Wanqiu were both smart people, so they naturally noticed something was wrong and became alert instantly.
"Please move aside. My husband and I have something else to do and can't waste any more time here."
Pei Xingzhi blocked Meng Wanqiu behind him and angrily asked the staff to open the door.
"Well, well, I'm not trying to stop you..."
The staff member was a girl about the same age as Meng Wanqiu. She was startled by Pei Xingzhi's cold expression and stammered to explain.
The other female staff members were also puzzled. Weren't these young couple just ordinary passengers? Why did they keep them?
But the leader did not tell the staff the reason, but just asked her to keep the person.
A hint of impatience flashed in Meng Wanqiu's eyes as she came out from behind Pei Xingzhi and said, "Please move aside. We haven't broken any laws, and you're not a police officer. You have no right to restrict our freedom."
Meng Wanqiu's cold look was much scarier than Pei Xingzhi's. Pei Xingzhi was a man and it was not easy for him to hit a woman, but Meng Wanqiu had no scruples.
After hearing what Meng Wanqiu said, the staff member realized they were not in the right and could not stop them. They complained to their annoying supervisor in their hearts and slowly made way under Meng Wanqiu's unfriendly gaze.
Pei Xingzhi picked up the snakeskin bag and Meng Wanqiu took the suitcase, and the two left the room hand in hand.
As soon as she walked out into the corridor, Meng Wanqiu heard a familiar voice.
"Stationmaster Fan, I'm sorry to have caused you all trouble for our operation today."
"Hey, Captain Meng, it's our honor and our duty to cooperate with the military and police in carrying out their mission."
At the end of the corridor, a young soldier in neat military uniform stood tall and strong, in stark contrast to the pot-bellied middle-aged man next to him.
“Second brother!”
Meng Wanqiu widened her eyes, her eyes full of disbelief, and she muttered something in a very low voice, which only Pei Xingzhi next to her heard.
Second brother, Meng Mingxia?
Pei Xing was stunned and quickly turned his head to look at the two people in the corridor. The man in military uniform was facing sideways to them, so he could only see his profile.
But even if it was just a side profile, one could already see the shadow of Meng Aiguo in the other person.
"Second brother! Meng Mingxia!"
While Pei Xingzhi was still in shock, Meng Wanqiu had already broken free from his hand, put down the suitcase, and ran towards Meng Mingxia.
When Meng Mingxia heard the familiar voice, he immediately turned around and saw Meng Wanqiu's surprised expression. He smiled and opened his arms.
Meng Wanqiu suddenly threw herself into Meng Mingxia's arms. Meng Mingxia took the opportunity to hug her sister whom she hadn't seen for several years, and a smile appeared in her eyes and rose to her eyebrows.
"Second brother, second brother, second brother, second brother, Meng Mingxia, Meng Mingxia, Meng Mingxia..."
“Hey hey hey…”
Meng Wanqiu could no longer control herself. She jumped around in Meng Mingxia's arms, calling him "Second Brother" and "Meng Mingxia" non-stop.
Among the four siblings, Meng Wanqiu and Meng Mingxia have the best relationship. It's not that they have a bad relationship with Meng Yanchun and Meng Fengdong. It's just that they have very similar personalities. When they were young, they often did bad things together and knew a lot about each other.
Meng Yanchun was the oldest, but he only studied until junior high school before returning home to help his parents with household responsibilities. Meng Fengdong was the youngest, and was raised by his grandmother. Meng Wanqiu loved and taught him, and treated his eldest brother with the same respect and reliance she would give her parents.
Only Meng Mingxia, although they are siblings, but in many cases, they are like friends and brothers.
Of course, Meng Mingxia also doted on Meng Wanqiu. He secretly took Meng Wanqiu out to play when she was a child. Even though Meng Wanqiu was still stupid at the time, he would tell her a lot of things about the outside world when he returned home every day.
On the other side of the corridor.
Pei Xingzhi: ...
He was emitting a cold air all over his body. Although he was surprised to meet Meng Mingxia here, the way Meng Wanqiu left him and ran over with a look of surprise in her eyes made Pei Xingzhi feel jealous.
However, Meng Wanqiu still knew her limits and her physical condition, so she jogged over.
Thinking of this, Pei Xingzhi's mood finally improved a little. He quietly picked up the luggage on the table and piled it against the wall.
I sighed. I could understand Meng Wanqiu's excitement. Who would have thought that I would meet Meng Mingxia here, whom I hadn't seen for several years.
Meng Mingxia introduced Meng Wanqiu to Stationmaster Fan. The other party thought that Meng Wanqiu had come to visit relatives, so he chatted with her politely for a few words and then left tactfully.
At this time, Pei Xingzhi also came over.
As he got closer, Pei Xingzhi saw Meng Mingxia's front clearly. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and three-dimensional facial features, but they were not rough, but rather delicate, which he inherited from his mother Li Lanxiang.
But his exquisite appearance does not make people feel effeminate, but rather a gentle and refined scholar. Coupled with the cold and solemn military temperament and strong and sturdy physique, people who see him will definitely say that he is a tough guy.
The face and the body are two completely different extremes.
Pei Xingzhi looked at Meng Mingxia calmly, and Meng Mingxia's eyes also swept over him as if nothing had happened.
Appearance, √.
Height, √.
Temperament, √.
The figure, well, just okay.
Personality, not known yet, to be determined.
Meng Wanqiu is Meng Mingxia's most beloved sister. Since she was old enough to understand, Meng Mingxia has had strict requirements for her future brother-in-law. She has no idea how many pages of requirements she has written down in her little notebook.
No brother would like a man who takes his sister away. When they first meet, a brother will definitely not be kind to his brother-in-law.
If there is, it must be fake.
"It's Xingzhi, right? I'm Meng Mingxia, Xiaowan's second brother. You know me, right?"
Meng Mingxia smiled brightly, took a step forward and hugged Pei Xingzhi, patting his back with his big hands.
Pei Xingzhi gritted his teeth, feeling that the clothes on his back must have stirred up a layer of dust.
When it comes to acting, Pei Xingzhi is a master. He forced a smile without changing his expression, and uttered a few words, "Of course I know. I always mention you, second brother, to me every night."
As he spoke, he put his hand on the back of Meng Mingxia's clothes, and used force without giving in, until he said the last word and tore Meng Mingxia off him.
Meng Mingxia was stunned. She didn't expect Pei Xingzhi to be so strong. The tip of his tongue touched his back teeth, which was quite interesting.
"I say, do you think I don't exist?"
Meng Wanqiu's faint voice sounded from behind, with a distinctly unfriendly tone.
The two men who were fighting suddenly felt a chill down their spines.
