"Xie Heng, each person can only borrow one car. If you want to borrow a car, just go there yourself. Why bother Xiao Zhao?"
Xie Heng clenched his fists and said, "I said the wrong thing. After we get off the train, Xiao Zhao and I will go borrow a car together."
The train slowly stopped. Qin Zheng, holding two bags, held Xu Zhiyi in his arms and walked off. Zhang Yumei, who was standing beside him, had only one bag in her hand, so she could only hold it in her arms and walk cautiously through the crowded crowd.
Xie Heng didn't care about Zhang Yumei's safety at all. All he could think about was how he had just lost face in front of Qin Zheng.
Xiao Zhao saw that Qin Zheng had vented his anger and didn't say anything more. After all, no matter how bad Xie Heng was, he was still a regiment leader and he couldn't afford to offend him.
Besides, he had seen many people like Xie Heng. They had no ability at all, but they were still obsessed with face and suffered.
After getting off the train, the five people went directly to the county conscription office.
Xu Zhiyi looked at the key that the conscription office staff brought over. She didn't want to ride in the same car with Zhang Yumei and Xie Heng. "There are five of us in total. Jixiang Brigade is far from the county town. If we drive there ourselves, we will have to return the car to you when we get there. It will be convenient to go back and forth. I'm sure you won't be at ease with us driving the car back and forth.
How about you give us an extra car and find two drivers to take us back, so you can also ensure the safety of the car."
The conscription officer was a little embarrassed. He started talking about the two cars and asked, "What are your identities?"
Xiao Zhao said, "I'm a civil servant working for Commander Xu of a certain unit in the capital. This is Commander Xu's daughter, currently serving as a major general at the military hospital. The man next to him is Commander Xu's son-in-law, currently attending a military academy and serving as division chief of staff."
The two people next to him are the son-in-law of the logistics battalion commander of a certain unit in the capital. He is currently studying at a military academy and serving as a regiment commander. The other one is the daughter of the logistics battalion commander.
"Okay, then I'll give you two keys and ask two people to drive the car."
Xie Heng listened to Xiao Zhao's introduction and clearly saw the eyes of the people in the conscription office light up when Qin Zheng was named division chief of staff. However, when they heard that he was only a regimental commander, they didn't show any envy like they had just now.
There is really a huge difference between the division chief of staff and the regimental commander. One has been deeply trained by the troops, while the other is just a soldier.
Zhang Yumei didn't think much of it. She knew what Xie Heng was capable of in the future and where he would go. Her current pride was only temporary.
But what made Zhang Yumei happiest was that she would never have to ride in a smelly ox cart back home in this life.
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
Zhang Yumei recalled that in her previous life, she and Xie Heng had taken a bus back home. After the bus ride, they met Xie Heng's fourth brother, Xie Laosi, and third sister, Xie Hehua, in the town. Xie Heng and she, carrying large and small bags, squeezed into the oxcart with the peasants, and had to listen to the peasants' chattering beside them.
This life was different. Now she and Xie Heng were riding in a car back home. It seemed that God had given her a new life to compensate for the suffering she had endured in her previous life.
Xu Zhiyi took Qin Zheng's hand and shook her head. "I just didn't want to sit with Xie Heng and the others, so I acted like a bully. I'm usually a well-behaved person."
Qin Zheng rubbed Xu Zhiyi's head and said lovingly, "Yes, my darling is the most well-behaved."
Xu Zhiyi raised his chin and said, "I've always been a very well behaved person."
Qin Zheng looked at Xu Zhiyi and sighed, "But it's better this way. I don't have to run into people from the brigade in the village and listen to their nagging."
Xu Zhiyi asked, "Are the people in the team very gossipy?"
"My dear, you may not know that the ancestors of the Jixiang Brigade all had the surname Xie. Our family is an outsider and is not welcome in the village. Xie Heng's father is the team leader, responsible for all matters in the village. The people of the Xie family usually take advantage of Xie Heng's father to show off their power in the village.
The villagers all have the same ancestors, so when they have nothing to do on weekdays, they like to get together and talk about this or that family.”
Xu Zhiyi patted Qin Zheng's arm and said, "Don't be afraid, Qin Zheng, I'll support you."
"Guaiguai, that's great. But that's not necessary. Ever since I joined the army, no one in the village dares to bully our family. But now that Guaiguai is here, I'm more than happy to stand behind Guaiguai and see how Guaiguai supports me."
Xu Zhiyi and Qin Zheng got into a car and left. Along the way, Xu Zhiyi listened to Qin Zheng talking about things in his hometown.
But things were not so smooth for Xie Heng and Zhang Yumei.
As soon as Xie Heng and Zhang Yumei arrived in the town, they met Xie Hehua and Xie Laosi who came to pick them up.
Originally, Xie Dazhu wanted to send Xie Laoda, but when he thought about the 1,000 yuan betrothal gift that Xie Laosan would have demanded from him, he felt the need to intimidate Zhang Yumei. So, he didn't send his heir, Xie Laoda, and instead sent Xie Laosi, Xie Dazhu's favorite son, and Xie Hehua, who had pestered Liu Pan'er to come to town.
Inside the car, Xie Heng saw Xie Laosi and Xie Hehua on the road and said, "Stop, stop." After that, he left Zhang Yumei alone in the car and got out by himself.
Xie Hehua and Xie Laosi, who were originally looking at the cars enviously on the road, saw their third brother Xie Heng getting out of the car and asked, "Third brother, did you come here by car?"
"Third brother, where did you get the car?"
Xie Heng looked at the two people's envious eyes and gradually straightened his back.
"This is the county conscription office's car. I borrowed it."
"Wow, Third Brother, you are so awesome. Can I go up there?"
Xie Heng nodded, "Of course, let's go."
