On the way back, she found out that in less than two weeks, Qiao Yue had already decided on her lifelong event.
"No, Sister Xiao Qiao, didn't you say that you two have just known each other for a short time?" Qiu Yuling actually didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but she was just idle now.
Qiao Yue lowered her head and smiled. "Some people know each other for a lifetime, but in the end, isn't it the same as if they had never met at all?"
Qiu Yuling: "Hmm?"
"It's okay. What I mean is that fate brings us together and fate separates us. What's there to worry about? I won't give up my job anyway. It's just that I'm already at this age. If I continue to be so picky, I'll be surrounded by gossip."
Ji Shulan had already returned from the bathroom, and both of them stopped talking.
"The water valve in this carriage is broken. If you two want to relieve yourself, you have to go to the next carriage."
On the return trip, the three female comrades of the Manchu Communist Party, Qiu Yuling enjoyed the treatment of a hero and was qualified for a hard sleeper, Qiao Yue was a wounded soldier and upgraded her carriage at her own expense, so they had much less trouble than on the way here.
Seeing Ji Shulan say this, Qiao Yue stood up and said, "The director is back, Xiao Qiu, let's go together. It's time to turn off the lights."
Qiu Yuling also stood up and said, "Director, I'll go with Sister Xiao Qiao. You can rest first."
Ji Shulan waved her hand and told them to hurry up, "There's still a queue over there."
The train rattled on and on until the evening of the next day when they finally got off at their station. Ji Shulan and Qiao Yue got off at Lanshi, while Qiu Yuling got off at the next station.
Ji Shulan reminded her, "There's only one stop left, don't miss it. Why don't you get off with us and continue your journey tomorrow during the day?" Qiao Yue also agreed.
"No, Director, that would mean I'd have to go through all that again. I've been out for over a month now, and I didn't feel anxious before, but now I'm actually feeling anxious..."
The car only stopped for five minutes. Qiu Yuling waved at them vigorously through the car window and only came back and sat down when she could no longer see anyone.
She was the only one left in the box, and she took the opportunity to move out some of the large luggage that had been stored in the space.
Qiu Yuling didn't know at this time that there was a big surprise waiting for her at home.
Wang Xiaotao followed Qiu Dahe all the way back to Qiuzhuang. Others became more and more tired as they walked, but she was different. She became more and more excited.
"Comrade Qiu Dahe, do you think Yuling will be scared silly when she sees me, hehe." Wang Xiaotao laughed foolishly when she thought of her stunned look.
Qiu Dahe had watched this scene all the way.
That day, when the political commissar first mentioned the idea of matchmaking for them, he firmly refused. Only when pressed did he say, "She's about the same age as my younger sister, still a child. You're asking me to make a mistake."
The political commissar laughed when he heard this, "I thought you had a child bride in your hometown. Xiao Tao is eighteen this year, and she will be nineteen next year. Oh, that's not right. I remember your sister was still young..."
When the two messages collided, Qiu Dahe realized that he had taken it for granted that Qiu Yuling's friends were the same age as her. He didn't expect that she only played with older children and had never paid much attention to those around her age.
Age was no longer a reason to refuse. There was no child bride in his family, and he didn't have a lover. There was really no other reason to find, so he had no choice but to agree to the political commissar.
In order to clear himself of responsibility, he even said hello to the political commissar in advance, "Political commissar, if she doesn't like me, then forget it. You don't have to worry about me anymore."
The political commissar didn't respond at the time, but just told him to clean up, "You won't be training tomorrow, go get a haircut, and go meet the other party in good spirits. Don't rush to the enemy with incompetent intentions, you are a bad soldier..."
Qiu Dahe treated it as a political task, and Wang Xiaotao got straight to the point as soon as they met.
"Comrade Qiu Dahe, Yuling and I were originally doing it, but if we become a couple, we'll be kissing. Take a look at me, and if you're not satisfied with me, change it when you get back."
Qiu Dahe thought that the girl was nervous because it was her first blind date and said something wrong. Later he realized that the other person wanted him to change his views and ideas.
They've been together for about half a year now, and Wang Xiaotao's original words were, "I think we're a good match. We have the same profession, the same beliefs, and the same hobbies. We're a perfect match. Let's just settle it. When can we come to your house?"
Then he filed a marriage report in a daze and came back with his fiancée.
Qiu Dahe handed over the hot water bottle and said, "Drink some water and take a nap. You've been talking all the way."
Wang Xiaotao took the teacup. It was neither too hot nor too cold, just right. She drank several sips and excitedly pulled Qiu Dahe to discuss, "Let's not go to Yuling's place first. Let's go home directly. Then you call her back and I'll make a surprise appearance. I guarantee she'll be surprised. Hahaha."
Qiu Dahe took the water jar, drank the rest, drained the water, covered it, and put it back in his bag. "Would you like to lie down for a while? I'll call you when we're here."
"No, be careful with the water on the outside of the teapot. Don't get the coat I brought for Yuling wet." Wang Xiaotao kicked Qiu Dahe and told him to move the teapot away and not put it in the bag containing her gifts.
Qiu Dahe had no choice but to get up and make room for her according to her instructions. He felt vaguely that he was able to get a wife thanks to his younger sister.
Listening to his young wife calling him Yuling all the time, those who didn't know him would think he was her brother-in-law.
Trains from two different directions arrived at Takeshi, one after the other. Both sides were carrying large and small bags, so no one saw the other.
With the letter of introduction, Qiu Yuling checked into a nearby guesthouse. As soon as she entered the room, she put all her luggage in a safe place and checked everywhere, including the doors, windows, under the bed, under the table, and inside the drawers. Only after finding everything was in order did she take out her own bedding and go to sleep.
After Qiu Dahe's repeated warnings, Wang Xiaotao impatiently told him to go back to sleep. "Don't you think about it? How many people can beat me?"
Qiu Dahe had no image of a significant other in his mind before, but ever since he fell into Wang Xiaotao's trap, he felt that his wife might be like this, causing others to worry without even realizing it.
He got up in the middle of the night, walked around the corridor, and listened at the door. Seeing that everything was normal, he went back to rest with peace of mind.
Qiu Yuling did not take the bus. She went to find the police station's tractor and took the tractor back, once again missing the opportunity to know the surprise in advance.
Wang Xiaotao followed Qiu Dahe and squeezed on the bus back to the county town, looking pale.
"How is it? Are you feeling a little better?" Qiu Dahe held her in his arms and tried his best to make her face face the window, but he could still see that his young wife was uncomfortable.
"It's okay. I guess he didn't eat a single bite. He's not that picky." Wang Xiaotao wanted to go over and pull the driver away so she could get on first several times because of the driver's driving skills.
"The way the brakes and the gas pedal were pressed so hard, even an iron man could be dizzy." Wang Xiaotao was still feeling scared even after getting out of the car.
