Sun Jinan felt like he was in a dream. They had clearly set off in the morning from the Qinling Mountains to Kyoto, but it was only four in the afternoon, and they had already arrived in Kyoto. He felt his hands were numb.
"Um, Battalion Commander, have we taken the wrong road? This place looks so much like Kyoto."
Chang Yin sat in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "To the military compound."
Sun Jinan swallowed hard. "Fine," he thought, "this time it's true again. From now on, I'll believe anyone who says they drive faster than a plane." The car headed towards the military compound.
Tang Yue raised an eyebrow in the back seat. Heading straight to the military compound? That's the battalion commander's house. Oh dear, it's her first time here; she can't go empty-handed, can she?
As a result, Sun Jinan felt the car getting heavier and heavier while driving, and the feeling of sudden, sudden increase in weight was quite unusual.
Feng Guiping was already used to the situation where there were suddenly more people at home for meals. "Okay, Dad! Who are they coming over today? Let me see what they're making."
Chang Xingbang was clearly pleased. "Chang Yin will be back soon."
"Huh?" Feng Guiping didn't react at first, and when she did, she almost burst into tears of joy. "Really? Dad, Chang Yin is coming back today? That brat, why didn't he call home?"
Although the words were spoken in anger, anyone could hear the joy in them. Feng Guiping's work speed increased considerably.
Chang Yin and his group were almost at the military compound, but Sun Jinan found it extremely difficult to drive, and Chang Yin felt a chill run down his spine. The truth was, apart from the people still sitting inside, the rest of the car was completely filled.
Tang Yue was no longer just sitting in the back seat; she was practically pressed against the gap between the roof and the cargo area. She was still frowning, pondering what to take out. There were just too many things in the storage space. Choosing what to take out was a real hassle.
Chang Yin tried to persuade her several times, but Tang Yue acted as if she hadn't heard him and continued to do as she pleased. She even said confidently, "Battalion Commander, we can't go to see the old commander empty-handed, can we? Sun Jinan, the wild goat and the silly roe deer are yours, the rest are mine."
Chang Yin was speechless. Actually, he also had quite a few things in his ring space, and he had acquired quite a bit while in the Qinling Mountains. He had originally planned to deliver them to his family in Kyoto. But he hadn't expected this little girl to be so capable. If they took these things back, their family would become famous throughout the military compound.
"Ahem! Tang Yue, we're almost at the military region. There will be a checkpoint at the gate. If others see these things, they'll definitely say we're undermining socialism. My grandfather and father might even be arrested and investigated."
"What? Even the ones I delivered aren't allowed?" Tang Yue lay on the goods, looking completely bewildered. Chang Yin wanted to nod in response, but there was no space for him to nod at this moment, and Tang Yue couldn't see him either, so he could only respond verbally.
Sun Jinan was in a slightly better position because he was driving, and apart from two bags of grain on his lap, he had nothing else. "Yes, Company Commander, things are very tense right now. We can't cause trouble for our old commander."
Before Sun Jinan could finish speaking, he felt the car suddenly become lighter, and the air inside seemed to fill out more. Tang Yue sat back down in her seat, pouting, "Let's wait until the checkup is done."
The car had arrived at the military compound guard post. Chang Yin got out of the car to register. The people here recognized Chang Yin, but that was the military discipline, so Chang Yin still registered Sun Jinan and Tang Yue.
The car had only gone a few meters when Tang Yue was about to make a move, but Chang Yin quickly stopped her, saying, "Never mind, when we get back, just go to my room and put your things there."
Tang Yue's big eyes lit up. That's great! It saves her from moving everything bit by bit. Plus, she doesn't have to explain where these things came from, which makes her quite happy.
Upon hearing the car, Feng Guiping rushed out of the kitchen. As soon as Chang Yin got out of the car, Feng Guiping's eyes reddened. "Why didn't you say you were coming back?"
"Mom!" Chang Yin's face remained expressionless, but upon closer listening, her tone seemed much gentler than usual when she said "Mom."
Sun Jinan and Tang Yue got out of the car, and Feng Guiping noticed a little girl and became curious. "Oh my, what a little baby! Come on, come inside. You must be exhausted from such a long car ride!"
"Hello, Auntie!" Tang Yue greeted sweetly. Her soft, sweet voice melted Feng Guiping's heart. The Chang family didn't have a single daughter, so seeing a little girl was an absolute treat.
"Hey, hey, hurry, come inside."
After saluting Feng Guiping, Sun Jinan followed her into the house. He felt a little embarrassed to have come empty-handed.
Upon entering the house, they saw a rather imposing old man sitting on the sofa. His clothes had four pockets but no other obvious markings. Nevertheless, Tang Yue and Sun Jinan saluted the old man first, saying, "Greetings, Commander!"
Chang Xingbang put down his newspaper, stood up to return the greeting, and looked at the group. "Come and sit down."
His gaze fell on Tang Yue, and a slight smile appeared on his usually stern face. "You must be Comrade Tang Yue. Haha, you're quite different from the legends."
Tang Yue blinked her big eyes. "Legend? Chief, what kind of person am I in the legend?"
Chang Yin coughed lightly. Sun Jinan also wanted to tug at his company commander's clothes. This was a high-ranking officer, so why was his company commander chatting?
Chang Xingbang hadn't expected the little girl to ask that, and he burst into laughter. "Yes, the legendary Company Commander Tang is quite formidable."
Tang Yue nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Chief, that's not a legend, it's a fact. I really am very capable."
