After two days of train life, Song Shuqian felt like she was stinking up.
The two children and three dogs also looked listless.
Mo Ying, who is usually lively and active, hangs his tail. Lightning's usually straight back was slightly bent, and he followed Song Shuqian, looking listless.
Wei Jianguo carried all the luggage on his body.
Song Shuqian followed with her two children and three dogs.
At the exit, their strange combination aroused everyone's curiosity.
Feeling everyone's stare, Lightning raised his eyes lazily and glanced around.
Very deterrent.
Everyone averted their eyes, but they still kept glancing at him secretly.
When we got out of the train station, there were already little soldiers waiting there.
Holding a sign in hand.
The letter was addressed to "Wei Jianguo".
Wei Jianguo went over and negotiated with the young soldier for a few words before coming over to pick up Song Shuqian and the children.
The little soldier helped put the things in the trunk.
I was startled when I saw three big dogs.
Seeing the leader's sister-in-law, a delicate and gentle girl, holding the leash, he hurried over to take it.
"Hello, sister-in-law. I am Bayar Narisu, the regiment commander's orderly. You can just call me Narisu."
"Hello, thank you for coming to pick us up. This bus leaves early, early in the morning. Is there any state-owned restaurant nearby? Let's go there for dinner first."
Song Shuqian had a very good attitude when talking to the young soldier.
That day Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The captain's wife was easy to get along with, and his future work would be easier.
When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, Risu refused to go in. "Captain, sister-in-law, I ate before I came out. You guys should go quickly. The two children are hungry."
In front of the soldiers, Captain Wei acted differently. He said, "This is an order."
The little soldier immediately followed in.
Song Shuqian looked funny, she was still a child.
Wei Jianguo ordered breakfast, which consisted of three bowls of mutton offal, a bowl of millet porridge, a baked bun with an egg and pickled vegetables, and nine fried cakes (the dialect cannot be pronounced in the correct way).
Song Shuqian, who had just gotten used to Jinling's exquisite food, was still a little uncomfortable seeing these.
That day, Su was a smart man and took the initiative to serve the millet porridge.
He was stopped by Wei Jianguo.
"This is your sister-in-law. She just got off the car and has no appetite. You can have some mutton offal."
"Oh", that day Su felt that the team leader was quite nice.
Mutton offal is also meat, and it is very expensive.
Wei Jianguo divided a bowl of mutton offal between the two children, cut the fried cake in half, and said simply, "Eat."
The two children have become very used to it.
I took out my chopsticks and spoon from my bag and started eating.
There was no way, their hands were small and the chopsticks outside were too big to hold them.
You can only wrap your own in a handkerchief and carry it with you.
Wei Jianguo changed his attitude towards Song Shuxi, "They said that this baked bun is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it's salty. I added eggs and pickles in it. You can eat some and give me the rest."
Su was stunned that day. Wow, the captain has two faces.
He also ate his meal obediently.
Before leaving, Wei Jianguo bought a few big steamed buns. The military area is quite far from the city.
The car swayed towards the military area.
The road was an unpaved dirt road, dusty and bumpy.
Song Shuqian just felt that the car seemed to be driving on a washboard.
I felt dizzy and nauseous.
Wei Jianguo always paid some attention to her.
"Wife, drink some water and take a nap. I'll call you when we get to the destination."
Then she said to the two children, "An An Le Le, Mom is carsick and feels very uncomfortable. You two tell mom a story and put her to sleep."
Their special operations regiment was newly built and located in a remote location. There were few vehicles passing through this road, which had not been compacted yet and was very difficult to travel on.
An An Lele curled her little body in her mother's arms.
Chat quietly with your mother to divert her attention.
"Mom, where can we ride horses?" "We'll ask Dad to ask around when we get there. Good horses are hard to find. You two have to be patient, and mom has to be patient too."
An An said, "Mom, close your eyes and we will tell you the story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
Song Shuqian closed her eyes obediently and listened to the two children.
"The general trend of the world is that long divisions will eventually unite, and long unites will eventually divide. At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the seven kingdoms fought against each other and were incorporated into Qin. After the fall of Qin, Chu and Han fought against each other and were incorporated into Han. The Han Dynasty started with Emperor Gaozu beheading the white snake and unified the world. Later, Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty and passed it to Emperor Xian, which was then divided into three kingdoms. ..."
An An Lele really likes the stories in this book, which are full of ups and downs, and the car is filled with their voices.
That day, while Su was listening to the story, he was impressed by how the captain's children were raised. It was really amazing. I can remember the long story and the short words.
As I listened, there was suddenly silence.
He glanced in the rearview mirror.
The three of them slept in a ball.
Wei Jianguo curled the corners of his mouth proudly.
Song Shuqian doesn't like to read Romance of the Three Kingdoms very much. She prefers Dream of the Red Chamber, which has delicate emotions.
I can fall asleep in seconds just by hearing the two children talk about this.
It seems like he is brainwashing himself, and he can't hear it when he falls asleep.
As for the two children, they tell stories to each other every night to put themselves to sleep.
It has become a habit.
He fell asleep as soon as he started talking.
For a moment, the car was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
It took them about four hours to reach their destination.
Looking at the empty family compound, Song Shuqian swallowed hard. Were they being exiled to the frontier?
She looked at Wei Jianguo and asked silently.
When Su saw this that day, he hurried out to explain, "Captain, sister-in-law, our place is quite far away and the environment is not very good, so not many family members come here to accompany the army. There are a total of twenty-one households over there. This side is where family members at the regimental level and above live. The yard is a little bigger and more spacious than over there." Song Shuxi's house is very big, estimated to be around six or seven hundred square meters.
As you enter the courtyard, there is a row of houses on the sunny side, with three main rooms.
The middle room is the largest. As you enter the door you will see the main room and the kitchen, separated by a small door.
There is a bedroom on the left and right sides of the main hall, both with large kangs that can easily accommodate six or seven people.
This design saves a lot of firewood, as the kangs in the two rooms can be heated up while cooking.
Very wise.
The two rooms on both sides are smaller and are empty rooms without kangs. One can be arranged as a tool room, and the other can be cleaned up in case guests come to stay.
There is a room directly opposite, next to the main door.
It is in the shade and is particularly suitable for storing food.
The yard is divided into two parts. There are traces of a vegetable field on the left side, and it looks like you can grow crops here.
On the right, there is a sheepfold and a woodshed.
That day, Su helped to pack up and then said goodbye.
Song Shuxi came out of the house with a bag of pastries in her hand, "Thank you for your hard work in picking us up today. This is a gift from your sister-in-law. I don't know what you like to eat, but this is a local specialty from my hometown Jinling. Take it back and try it."
This time, Su said he would not accept anything. He had already had a free meal, so how could he take everything he ate and what was more, they were all expensive things.
Su naturally refused to take it that day, but Song Shuxi, who had lived in the staff housing compound for four years, had already mastered the skills of pushing, pulling and tearing, and forced him to accept it.
