Jiang Mengxue felt that she had not fallen asleep yet, but Li Cuiying was already waking her up outside.
I went to bed early the day before, but I just felt like I didn’t get enough rest.
Gu Zhenjiang found a nearby rickshaw puller one day in advance to help him pull the luggage to the train station.
I saw Jiang Mengran waiting at the door from a distance. It was not yet time for Jiang Mengran to go to work. I didn't expect her to come so early.
"Sister, Uncle and Aunt, you are here."
"I didn't tell you when I was leaving, why are you here?"
Jiang Mengran held Jiang Mengxue's hand and complained: "Sister, what are you talking about? If I hadn't just heard Brother Li say it, I wouldn't have known you were leaving today. At least let me see you off."
Jiang Mengxue said helplessly: "I didn't want you to come so early. Besides, I'm leaving with my uncle and aunt, so I don't need you to send me off. Go to your work."
"I'm not working this morning. Hehe, I'll take you to the car. You won't be able to carry so much stuff."
Li Qiang was not at the station recently, so he arranged for station staff to take them to the train in advance.
I thought today's train would be late, but unexpectedly it arrived on time and there were quite a few people on this train.
Jiang Mengxue was escorted by Li Cuiying to the car. It took her a long time to find her own compartment. It was a small compartment with only four beds.
"I'll tell the train attendant later that no one will be allowed in this room anymore. You can put your things on the other berth. Just lock the door when you rest. The conductor will come and bring you food and water before opening the door."
There's no way around it. The train is always chaotic and there are many thieves, so you have to protect your belongings at all times.
The staff below on the train handed the luggage up through the window and placed it all on a bed in the lower bunk.
After a while, the staff member who had just come over brought a conductor.
"Uncle, this is the conductor Xiao Zhang. If you need anything, go find him." He then instructed the conductor, "This is our brother Li's relative. Please take good care of him along the way. Please help with the luggage when you get off the train."
"Okay, don't worry. I'll have people patrol this area a few more times and won't let anyone come over to disturb us. Uncle, if you have anything to do, come find me in Box No. 1 in front."
It is indeed easier to get things done when you have acquaintances. They don’t have to do anything themselves, as the whole process has been arranged by someone.
There were two beds downstairs, one was for luggage and the other was for Jiang Mengxue to sleep on. It was not convenient for her to climb up and down now.
Li Cuiying helped to make the bed, and Jiang Mengxue just lay down and rested.
"Just go back to sleep. We've locked the door, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Li Cuiying and the other person made sure that the door lock was working properly, and then they climbed to the upper bunk with peace of mind.
It was Jiang Mengxue's first time riding a green train. The speed was not particularly fast. Looking at the snow outside, it was the first time she saw the outside world so directly, and her mood became much better.
If the first day was still novel, the second day was a bit difficult to endure, and the third day was a bit numb.
I keep looking at the scenery outside, and no matter how beautiful it is, I can never get enough of it.
Plus, there was no entertainment, so we could chat at the beginning, but after a while we ran out of topics.
I took out a book from my bag and looked at it. It was a comic book, which didn't look that tiring on the eyes.
At noon, the conductor outside pushed a small cart to sell lunch, which included two dishes, one soup, noodles, and big steamed buns. Each person was limited to one order.
Jiang Mengxue got out of bed, took the lunch boxes for the three of them, and made three bowls of noodles, and filled the kettle with boiling water.
At this time, I couldn't help but sigh that Li Cuiying was very thoughtful. Every outrageous thing she brought was very useful.
"Uncle and Aunt, please get up and eat, or it will be cold soon."
Li Cuiying came down listlessly: "Hey, all day long, I do nothing but eat, and now I'm not hungry at all."
"We should be arriving at the Tsinghua and Peking University military base at noon tomorrow. Xiaoxue, have you made the necessary arrangements?"
Jiang Mengxue nodded and took out a piece of paper from her messenger bag. On it was the address of Gu Qingbei's team. This was also just in case. In fact, she had already contacted Gu's father in advance, and someone would come to the station to pick her up.
The next day, Jiang Mengxue went to the bathroom early in the morning, closed the toilet door, and went to the space to take a good shower and wash her hair. She blew her hair dry thoroughly and tied it up before coming out. Finally, there was no smell on her body.
Then prepare the things you plan to take with you in advance and just wait until you get off the bus at your stop.
"Xiaoxue, everything is ready. Will Qingbei come pick you up later?"
"Hehe, I didn't tell him I was coming. My dad contacted someone to pick me up, and when I got there, I gave Tsinghua and Peking University a surprise."
Li Cuiying didn't understand what young people were thinking, but she could imagine that when Gu Qingbei suddenly saw his wife appear in the army, he would be so excited that he would jump up.
Following the announcement from the loudspeaker, Gu Zhenjiang picked up Jiang Mengxue's luggage and helped her get off the car. Li Cuiying had to stay behind to guard the luggage and could only stare out the window.
When they arrived at the door, Gu Zhenjiang couldn't get off, so the conductor Xiao Zhang helped Jiang Mengxue carry her things down. However, she couldn't stay there for too long, as the train had to depart after the ticket checking was completed.
Jiang Mengxue saw from afar a soldier in military uniform holding a large sign with the words "Jiang Mengxue" written on it. It was obvious that he was here to pick her up.
He walked up to the man and stopped: "Hello, are you Gu Qingbei's comrade?"
Lu Zhengming kept staring at the train station exit, afraid that he would miss it and not be able to pick up the person.
Naturally, he also saw Jiang Mengxue. Although he was stunned at first sight, as she was the brightest figure in the crowd, with an elegant temperament and pretty looks, he just didn't think of her as Gu Qingbei.
It seems like this girl is still young, so how could she possibly marry an old man? This is definitely not the case.
But he never expected that this most unlikely figure would stop in front of him.
"Are you Gu Qingbei's wife?"
Jiang Mengxue is very excited now. She is about to meet Gu Qingbei. This is different from meeting in the space. Meeting in the space always feels like chatting online and does not feel real.
"Hello, my name is Jiang Mengxue, Gu Qingbei's wife. Are you his comrade-in-arms?"
Lu Zhengming, whose heart was broken, never expected that they were actually a couple.
"Yes, I'm Lao Gu's political commissar. Uncle Gu called me to pick you up. Lao Gu doesn't know yet. Let's get in the car first. It's a two-hour journey from the station to our unit."
Jiang Mengxue didn't expect it to take so long. She now has a traumatic experience with riding in a car, but thinking that they will arrive soon, she can still bear it.
Lu Zhengming was driving a military jeep with the luggage piled directly in the back, and Jiang Mengxue sat in the passenger seat.
On the way, the two talked about Gu Qingbei's work in the army.
Jiang Mengxue actually didn't know much about him. She only knew that apart from the time he was on missions, he spent most of his time training his troops.
"Someone just went up the mountain for training a few days ago and will be back this afternoon."
In fact, in Gu Qingbei's current position, he doesn't have to lead troops in training, but who can stop him from doing nothing?
