During this period, Jiang Mengxue rarely left the carriage. Every day at a certain time, a train attendant would push a cart to sell food and fetch water.
In order to hide her tracks, she would go to the toilet once a day and ask the conductor to help her hold her child. She would not go out at other times.
Others also know that she goes out with her child alone, so they won't come to disturb her unless necessary.
The conductor also brought a toilet so that Mobao could use it.
I will come again in the evening to help take it away, throw it away and then bring it back.
Jiang Mengxue was really grateful for this, but she didn't care about it. She went to the space to solve the problem while Mo Bao was asleep.
But Mobao is growing up a little bit, and she rarely uses the space in front of Mobao now, and even if she does, she doesn't want him to notice.
So the toilet saved her a lot of trouble.
I have been on the train for many days.
The long distance is one thing, but the other is that today's trains are really too slow. If a train is undergoing maintenance or breaks down, you're just unlucky because you don't know how long it will take to recover, so train delays are common.
In the past few days, Mobao was lying on the window and looking outside with great interest.
Now he is sticking his butt out and biting his hand out of boredom.
"Oh my god, ahhh!!!"
Jiang Mengxue laughed out loud. What kind of exclamation was this?
"Bored? Mommy makes you some milk to drink, okay? And then I'll tell you a story."
Mo Bao nodded in agreement.
He really wanted to go out and play, but considering that there were so many people outside, Mo Bao couldn't even walk steadily, so Jiang Mengxue didn't open the door of the carriage unless it was necessary, and when he was bored, he would read a book to pass the time.
As the train pulled into the station again, they were getting closer and closer to their destination.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. It was the conductor on the train.
After opening the door, I found a female comrade following behind the conductor.
"Hello, comrade. This is a comrade from the army, going to the same destination as you. There are really no suitable berths available outside. Could she squeeze in with you? The train will arrive in just two days."
The conductor was very embarrassed and said that he would not let other passengers come from this side, but there were no suitable berths outside.
There was only one empty seat, and the other three were grown men, so it was inappropriate for them to live in the same carriage.
Anyway, it's almost time. Besides, they let her live alone out of special consideration, so I can't make things difficult for others.
"Of course, I'll clean up the bunk later."
The conductor nodded, and seeing that there were scattered things on the bunk, he did not go to help, but instead played with the calligraphy.
"The little guy will be afraid to see his daddy in a couple of days. Are you happy?"
"Ah, Dad."
The female comrade following behind him was wearing a military uniform and carrying a lot of luggage. She also liked Mo Bao's little face very much when she saw it.
"Comrade, can I help you put your luggage in the shop? There's too little space under the bed."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Jiang Mengxue helped her put the things on the train, and the conductor left after giving instructions.
"Hello, my name is Han Siyue, I'm a soldier in the art troupe, and I'm here to look for my fiancé.
I heard from the train attendant that your husband and my fiancé are in the same army. My fiancé's name is Lu Zhengming, and he might even know your husband."
Han Siyue is a very cheerful person. Although it was the first time she met Jiang Mengxue, she did not feel unfamiliar at all and introduced herself right away.
However, Jiang Mengxue felt that the name Lu Zhengming was somewhat familiar. She often heard Gu Qingbei mention him, and even the name often appeared in his letters.
"My name is Jiang Mengxue, and this is my son Gu Chaoyan, nicknamed Mobao.
My husband's name is Gu Qingbei, and Lu Zhengming is the political commissar, right? I don't know if the person with my husband is the one you mentioned, they might have the same name."
Han Siyue's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, he is at the political commissar level, but I don't know who his comrades are.
To be honest, I have never seen him. I have only seen his photos at his home. Our marriage was also arranged by our two families. I don’t even know if he has received the letter from home.
I came here this time to meet him. If we're a good match, we can get married right away. If not, we can spend more time together and eventually it will become a good match."
Jiang Mengxue knew that Lu Zhengming and Gu Qingbei were two rare young senior officers in the army.
Many leaders are optimistic about them, but these two not only have strong abilities, but also have good family backgrounds.
If the leader is interested in you, he will only arrange a blind date and will not take a tough attitude. Otherwise, it would not be about picking up the bride, but about making enemies.
Not only does it offend the parties involved, but also the families behind them.
Ever since Gu Qingbei got married, Lu Zhengming's family has become anxious.
He couldn't find a suitable blind date, and he couldn't find a wife. There was nothing he could do but to act first and ask his family for permission later, and then decide on one.
"Now we are really traveling together. I'm glad I met you guys to keep me company. Otherwise, I would be a little scared to come here alone."
What she was afraid of was not going out alone. She was in her twenties and performed in the art troupe in various military regions, so she was not afraid.
But she was very nervous about her fiancé whom she had never met.
It was much more relaxing to have someone accompany her along the way. Han Siyue also liked Mobao very much. Except when Mobao was sleeping, she would sit on her bed and play with him.
When the train is about to arrive at the station, the horn will announce it, and those who want to get off at this station will pack their luggage in advance to avoid forgetting anything.
"We're almost there. I don't know who's coming to pick us up today. My family should have told Political Commissar Lu about your coming, right?"
In fact, Han Siyue was really unsure. She didn't know whether Lu Zhengming would listen to his family.
She was worried that Lu Zhengshi didn't want her to stay. If she was kicked out as soon as she got off the train, it would be so embarrassing.
Jiang Mengxue noticed Han Siyue's nervousness and anxiety, and said, "Don't worry, the army has just built a family compound, and with the rank of Political Commissar Lu, the house he will be allocated will not be small.
Then let him apply for a place closer to our home so that we can visit him more conveniently."
Han Siyue also wanted to live closer. She didn't know anyone here, and it wouldn't be too awkward if there was someone familiar around.
As the train arrived at the station and the horn outside announced it, the conductor was already waiting outside the door to help with the luggage.
There will be someone below to receive it, so just pass it out through the window.
Jiang Mengxue held Mo Bao tightly in her arms and followed the crowd towards the exit.
After getting off the train, the three of them stopped and didn't know where to go. Jiang Mengxue knew where the station exit was, but they still had a pile of luggage, which two people definitely couldn't carry.
"Siyue, you stay here and watch over the luggage so it doesn't get lost. I'll go out and see if anyone is here to pick us up. If not, we'll have to stay in a guesthouse for the night."
"Sister-in-law, you go ahead. I'll look after the luggage and won't go anywhere."
Jiang Mengxue followed the crowd out, looking for people in military uniforms everywhere, but she didn't see Gu Qingbei.
She couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She knew Gu Qingbei's personality. He would never be late no matter what he did.
Even if I don't have time to come, I will definitely ask someone else to pick me up.
