As Dongyang and Taoyang behind us became smaller and smaller, the scenery outside the car window became more and more desolate and lonely, with yellow sand and wasteland everywhere.
We entered the no-man's land before lunch time, and occasionally we could see a few ordinary zombies wandering around with their intestines and internal organs dragging around.
Su Tao had never been so far away before. She had spent almost all of her 18 years in Dongyang. She was a little curious for a moment and kept leaning against the car window to look.
Guan Zining glanced at her while driving and said, "What's so good about this?"
Su Tao said: "Everything I haven't seen is beautiful."
"It will take nearly two days to reach our first stop, Shou'an Base. The scenery will be like this for both days. I hope you still find it beautiful."
This reminded Su Tao that she had something important to do.
Mr. Mei had previously asked her to find someone at the Shouan base. He was an old friend of Mr. Mei’s from many years ago, named Wu Jianyi.
According to Mr. Mei’s description, he should be 72 years old this year, and it is not known whether he is still in good health.
Su Tao recorded Wu Jianyi's information one by one on the communicator, ready to start inquiring when she arrived in Shou'an.
At around 1 p.m., the convoy stopped on a highway. Two scouts got off and checked the area within a two-kilometer radius. After finding no danger, Shi Zijin let everyone get off the bus to prepare lunch and travel.
It was the hottest time of the day. Su Tao had just gotten out of the air-conditioned car when she was stunned by the oncoming hot wind and subconsciously retreated back into the car.
It must be forty degrees outside!
Guan Zining jumped out of the car without changing his expression: "I'll go call Major General Shi and the others to come for dinner."
In order to make it easier to eat, Su Tao had to turn on the air conditioner to the maximum, open the car door, and ask Lin Fangzhi to take out the folding dining table and put it aside by the door.
Then he took out the chilled water from the refrigerator and placed the lunch box he brought from Taoyang on the table.
For fear of spoilage, I brought only twenty bento boxes with me, planning to finish them in two days.
I also opened a can of dog food for Xuedao to go along with his staple food.
When Shi Zijin arrived, the smell of food and the air conditioning had already made the people accompanying him red-eyed.
Cen Tianjiao and others couldn't wait to run over, took off their clothes and exposed their chests on the spot, facing the cool air with a look of enjoyment on their faces.
"Oh my god, it's so comfortable. It's so stuffy in our car. We're almost cooked."
Shi Zijin, who was wearing a military uniform perfectly, frowned and said, "What will I look like if I put it on?"
Several people were shocked and immediately put them on again, looking at Su Tao embarrassedly.
I'm used to it. In the past, all the women in the team were treated like men. I forgot that there were my sisters-in-law in the team this time.
Su Tao didn't mind and gave them lunch boxes:
"Eat, and help yourself to the drinks and water here. Don't be shy, I brought a lot."
They were all filled with gratitude. They had never been able to eat such delicious food and enjoy air conditioning while on a mission.
Su Tao was enjoying the delicious food and drinks, but she was extremely envious of the other accompanying personnel.
The members of the logistics team made compressed staple food porridge, added dehydrated vegetables, and also meat patties.
Actually the food is not bad, but the taste is not that great and there is no cold drinks or air conditioning.
The teammate poked Jiang Jinwei's arm and looked up at Su Tao:
"I was saying their food must be better than ours, and they have air conditioning. I just walked over and I felt cold all over before I even got close. I think you should go over and say hello. You might even get something good."
Another teammate echoed:
"Yes, and if Boss Su is really your sister, you might as well take this opportunity to repair the relationship. Maybe your sister will let you live in Taoyang. Didn't you say that your two brothers wanted to kick you out of the house? You and your husband and daughter have nowhere to live. Isn't this just perfect?"
The more Jiang Jinwei listened, the uglier her expression became:
"I've already told you that she only lives in Taoyang because of Major General Shi's connections. She's not the boss, so she doesn't have the final say on who gets to live there. Why should I try to please her? If you want to go, go by yourselves."
He threw away the half-eaten porridge and said, "It tastes terrible."
Then he got into the car with a sullen look on his face.
The teammate curled his lips: "Qinggao, if I were her sister, I wouldn't want to acknowledge her."
Someone nearby asked curiously, "Are they really sisters? They don't look like it."
The teammate shrugged: "Who knows? Boss Su really doesn't seem to know her. Maybe he's lying, or maybe they really don't have a good relationship."
"If I were her, I wouldn't care how good our relationship was before. I'd still go over to her even if she was nice. She'd have good food, good drinks, and air conditioning. I'd rather suffer for the sake of face."
Jiang Jinwei, who was in the car, heard it clearly and was so angry that her eyes turned red.
She couldn't understand it. It was obvious that in the Su family, it was Su Tao who begged her since she was a child and said a lot of nice things to her, so she was merciful enough to let her use her desk and let her read her textbooks.
If he is unhappy, he can beat, scold and humiliate her at will, knock over her half-eaten meal, and destroy her things at will, without any restraint.
Why does it become necessary for her to please Su Tao in order to make her life better?
Su Tao just found a good man, and she became a phoenix overnight?
Thinking about myself, it was because I married a useless man, had no proper job, couldn't afford to buy a house, and yet had the nerve to shamelessly squeeze into my mother-in-law's house, causing her to be resented by her father and disliked by her two brothers.
Even when it came to joining the army, he would rather let his wife, who needed to take care of the children, go, and he didn't have the courage to go himself.
In the final analysis, it was Jiang Jinwei's bad luck. The man she found was not very good, so she is not living as well as Su Tao now!
The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I felt, so I just lay down in the car and burst into tears.
The teammates were all used to it and were busy with their own things. Only the team leader couldn't stand it anymore. He opened the car door and said with a dark face:
"Come down and work, then get in the car after you finish eating. Do you think you're a princess on vacation?"
Jiang Jinwei collapsed, raised her tear-stained face and yelled at the team leader:
"I'm in this state, and you guys are still bullying me. What on earth have I done to provoke you?"
