Chapter 32: Hitchhiking with the Political Commissar
Ye Muqi walked towards the city while paying attention to the vehicles.
Ye Muqi had walked for quite a distance but still hadn't been able to get a taxi. The things she was carrying were quite heavy, and after walking such a long distance, Ye Muqi even felt a little overwhelmed.
But the most important thing is not physical strength. If she doesn't have a car, how can she go to the city? She can't just walk there, right?
When we really get there, not to mention that she will be useless, she won’t even have to sell breakfast!
Ye Muqi kept looking back, trying to find a car, when he saw a military green jeep driving over not far away.
Although it's not a taxi, maybe you can ask if you can get a ride into the city.
After all, she is a family member now!
Thinking of this, Ye Muqi hurried forward to stop the jeep. The jeep stopped in front of Ye Muqi and the window was rolled down. There was a man sitting in the back seat. He was also wearing a military uniform and looked to be in his forties.
This man in military uniform seemed to have a good temper and was very amiable, completely different from Rong Jingchen's serious and cold appearance.
"What's the matter?" the man asked.
"Hello, I want to go to the city, but I haven't waited for the bus yet... Can I take your bus? I can pay for your fare." Ye Muqi hesitated and spoke carefully.
After saying this, she was still a little nervous. Although the person in the car looked quite friendly, Ye Muqi was not sure whether the other party would agree to take a ride when someone suddenly asked for it.
After all, soldiers should be very busy, right?
The man in the car glanced at Ye Muqi. This was a military area, and the only people who could appear around here were either soldiers or their families.
"Whose family are you from?" Yu Jianguo asked.
He was the political commissar of the military region. Not everyone living in the family compound knew him, but almost everyone had seen him.
But the one in front of me looks unfamiliar and is very cute and pretty. If you have seen her before, you should remember her.
"Rong Jingchen's family." Ye Muqi said. Although Rong Jingchen was the group leader, Ye Muqi was not sure whether the people in the car would know him.
"Oh?" When Yu Jianguo heard Rong Jingchen's name, surprise flashed in his eyes. Rong Jingchen got married and the report he made passed through his hands.
He had just glanced at it before, but now Yu Jianguo looked at Ye Muqi with curiosity in his eyes.
It was already surprising that Rong Jingchen wanted to get married suddenly. What was even more surprising was that after getting married, he didn't ask for leave or to have a child. He stayed in the army for a whole year!
Even someone like Yu Jianguo who doesn't like gossip also got a taste of the gossip in the army.
I heard that Rong Jingchen's wife is not good-looking and has a big waist. It is probably because of her family's pressure, so she is not very popular. But now...
"Xiaorong brought his wife here, why didn't I know?" Yu Jianguo asked curiously.
Ye Muqi heard it outside the car, but seeing that Yu Jianguo was looking at a direction where he was not asking her, she did not say anything.
Judging from what this person said, he might be a leader, even above Rong Jingchen?
She wouldn't cause trouble for her husband just because of stopping a car, right?
or……
This car still doesn’t work!
Ye Muqi was a little nervous. He held the things in his hands tightly and waited anxiously.
"I think I heard Captain Chen say that. He is quite gossipy about this matter." The driver in front said, "It seems that Captain Rong brought him here after returning from vacation this time."
"Oh." Yu Jianguo nodded. Since this matter is true, there is no problem. "Come up."
Ye Muqi was a little surprised. She thought she couldn't get this ride and she was even ready to run over there by herself.
The jeep continued to move forward.
Ye Muqi and Yu Jianguo sat together in the back seat. Watching from a close distance, Yu Jianguo realized that Ye Muqi's skin was really good, white and tender, and her profile was even more beautiful.
"It turns out that Xiao Rong has always been reluctant to bring his wife here because she is too beautiful." Yu Jianguo retracted his gaze and couldn't help laughing when he thought about the time when he asked Rong Jingchen about his wife and Rong Jingchen always kept his mouth shut and didn't want to talk.
At that time, it was not just him, but everyone thought that Rong Jingchen didn't like his wife. Otherwise, why did Rong Jingchen have a cold face whenever anyone mentioned it?
Now that he had seen Ye Muqi in person, Yu Jianguo realized that his thoughts at the time were a bit ridiculous.
How could Rong Jingchen not like it? It's obvious that he just wants to hide it because he's afraid that it will be snatched away, right?
"Ah..." This was not the first time Ye Muqi had heard these words. On the night she arrived, Yin Daquan and Lin Zihua said the same thing to her.
Ye Muqi didn’t think much of it before, but now she is really curious about what Rong Jingchen said that made everyone sigh like this after seeing her.
No wonder she was promoted as an ugly freak in the army?
No, Rong Jingchen shouldn't do such a thing.
"Leader, can I ask, what did Rong Jingchen say about me when he was in the army?" Ye Muqi couldn't help herself. If Rong Jingchen really said that she was ugly, she would have no meat to eat in the evening!
"He is just a taciturn person." Yu Jianguo snorted and laughed.
Thinking that he had asked so many times but the man refused to reveal a single word, he felt that this young man was boring.
"When asked about you, he didn't say a word. He hid it very well." Yu Jianguo shook his head. "Come to think of it, Rong Jingchen, that idiot, how did you fall in love with him and marry him?"
He had worked with Rong Jingchen for such a long time, but he had never seen him get particularly emotional. Even when he came to him to report that he wanted to get married, he didn't even smile and didn't look like someone who was going to get married at all.
If you don’t know, you might think he was forced into marriage.
"Uh..." Ye Muqi felt embarrassed when he thought of the memory of the original owner tricking Rong Jingchen into getting the marriage certificate.
This leader is not only amiable, but also very gossipy.
"He's actually pretty good." Ye Muqi touched his nose.
The bad ones are all the original owners!
Rong Jingchen was indeed a bit cold, but not in an arrogant way. Even if he didn't like the original owner at first, after they got the marriage certificate, the twenty yuan that Rong Jingchen gave to the original owner every month was real money.
Moreover, after thinking that the original owner had jumped into the river, he even tried to accept the original owner and brought her over.
Although the original owner's heart has now been replaced by her, Rong Jingchen has already fulfilled his responsibilities.
Yu Jianguo just thought that Ye Muqi was shy and couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Xiaorong and his wife had a good relationship, so he felt relieved.
The longer Ye Muqi stayed in the car, the more noticeable the previously faint fragrance became, and it was impossible to ignore it.
The smell came from the bag that Ye Muqi was holding. Yu Jianguo had been glancing at it several times, intentionally or unintentionally, from the beginning.
Even the driver in front snorted several times and swallowed secretly.
