Chapter 122 Return to the Former West Brigade

Perhaps thinking about visiting her parents, Shi Tingyu woke up early in the morning. When

she moved, Lu Weiguo also woke up.

He looked at the time, it was only five o'clock, "Why is it so early? It's not even daybreak yet."

Shi Tingyu turned over, a little puzzled, "Only five o'clock? No wonder it's still dark outside."

Lu Weiguo held her in his arms and said, "Sleep a little longer, I'll call you when it's time."

But Shi Tingyu couldn't fall asleep.

"I'd better get up, I can't fall asleep any more." She said.

"It's cold outside, if you really can't sleep, stay in bed for a while." Lu Weiguo said, "Even if you get up now, you can't go back."

Shi Tingyu didn't get out of bed in the end.

It takes more than an hour to ride a bike from the county to Qianxi Brigade. There are buses, but there are not many buses at this time, and they are all crowded.

If you are lucky, you may meet someone with a large animal frame in Qianxi Brigade, and you can pay some money to get a ride, but there are not always seats.

People from Qianxi Brigade travel between the county and the village mostly on foot.

Shi Tingyu asked Lu Weiguo: "Are we taking the bus back?"

Lu Weiguo's voice was a little confused, and he was obviously still sleepy. "No, let's drive..."

Seeing him like this, Shi Tingyu stopped bothering him and let him sleep a little longer.

Now that he is not in the camp, he doesn't have to tie up so tightly.

But Shi Tingyu stopped talking, and Lu Weiguo became sober instead.

In order to stay in bed with his wife for a while longer, he didn't rush to get up, but just told Shi Tingyu about what he had thought of yesterday.

"I'll go out after breakfast. I have a comrade-in-arms in the county people's armed forces department. Let's go and borrow his car."

Shi Tingyu was a little hesitant, "Is it a public car? Isn't it inappropriate for us to borrow it?"

Lu Weiguo chuckled, "Am I such a person?"

Seeing his wife's puzzled eyes, Lu Weiguo said, "My comrade-in-arms is a car fan, and the car is his own."

At that time, his comrade-in-arms Zuo Ping used a lot of allowances and bonuses to exchange for a jeep that was to be scrapped by the people's armed forces department. He was obsessed with cars and could repair it himself. In the end, the car was repaired and it worked well. At least it has no problem driving now.

If it weren't for the friendship between him and Zuo Ping, who had gone through life and death together on the battlefield, no one else would have dared to touch his car.

Shi Tingyu felt relieved when she heard this. She was happy that her husband was good to her, but she didn't want him to be so love-minded that he had no principles and righteousness.

After a hot breakfast, Lu Weiguo went to the People's Armed Forces Department to find Zuo Ping first.

Zuo Ping was very surprised when he saw Lu Weiguo. He happily stepped forward and patted his strong arm, "When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I had to pick you up at the station anyway."

The people in the People's Armed Forces Department looked at Lu Weiguo in surprise. Lu Weiguo was wearing a military coat, but many people have military coats now, and not everyone with a military coat is a soldier.

It was not until Zuo Ping introduced Lu Weiguo to everyone that they withdrew their gazes.

It turned out that he was really a soldier, and they were also in the same system. No wonder the other party had such a scary aura.

"Come on, come to my office and sit down. We brothers need to have a good reunion tonight."

Lu Weiguo hurriedly stopped Zuo Ping, "Brother, I came here to talk to you about something. This time the home leave is longer, and we have plenty of time to get together."

Zuo Ping did not force it. Everyone in the military knew how rare this home leave was. If the other party had something to do, he would not force it.

"What is it?" Zuo Ping asked.

Lu Weiguo said, "Do you have your car? I'd like to borrow it for a few days."

Zuo Ping snorted, "I didn't think it was a big deal, worthy of you taking it so seriously."

Lu Weiguo smiled, "You value your car more than your wife, so I have to talk to you seriously."

"That's for others!" Zuo Ping glanced at him, "We have a friendship that was established on the battlefield."

Then he went to the office and gave the car key to Lu Weiguo, "Here, the key is here, you should know my car."

Lu Weiguo shook the key in his hand and said, "Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

Zuo Ping pointed at him, "I've remembered it, let's have dinner together next time."

His wife was still waiting for him at home, Lu Weiguo didn't talk much with Zuo Ping, and drove away.

Zuo Ping suddenly remembered that he heard from Lu's aunt that this kid was married, and he shouted in the direction of the car, "Next time, introduce your sister-in-law to me!!"

The only answer he got was Lu Weiguo waving his hand out of the car window.

Zuo Ping sighed, this brat!

When the car drove to the steel plant's property building, it attracted quite a few onlookers. When they saw that the person getting off the car was Lu Weiguo, they thought it was nothing.

After all, he was an officer in the army.

Lu Weiguo went home and helped put the things to be taken back to his hometown into the car.

They were all gifts for the elders in the family, and nutritional supplements secretly prepared for Shi's father and mother.

As for the cotton-padded clothes for Shi's father and mother, they were placed at home and modified by Lu's mother before being sent over.

Shi's father and mother have clothes prepared by the Lu family, so they are not in a hurry to wear them for the time being.

But nutritional supplements still need to be brought to them for replenishment, Shi Tingyu thought.

Good health is better than anything else. This time, she will find a chance to give them some spiritual spring water, so that they can be healthy before returning to the city.

She did not favor one over the other. Just last night, while she was cutting vegetables, she replaced the water in the kettle with some spiritual spring water in the space, so that the two elders of the Lu family could be healthy.

It is a special blessing and happiness for the children that the elderly are in good health.

Otherwise, the children will worry, and their work will be affected.

Father and mother Lu are good to her, and Weiguo is also good to her, and she doesn't mind repaying them.

In addition to the things prepared by Shi Tingyu and his friends, Lu's father and mother also prepared some. It was a New Year's gift for the elderly in the family. Since they had a car, they let Lu Weiguo take it back with them.

The car was almost full of stuff and the big dog Li Jian.

The road to Qianxi Brigade was uneven for a long time. Fortunately, the car had a high chassis, otherwise it would be difficult to drive.

Although it was already the 25th day of the 11th lunar month, farmers now had no holidays. On the road, you could still see people working in the fields.

Some places were better, as they could rest until the sixth day of the first lunar month during the Chinese New Year.

Some places could only rest in the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, and had to attend a meeting in the afternoon, although work points were also recorded for the meeting.

Tingyu didn't know about this.

As the car drove into Qianxi Brigade, Shi Tingyu saw more people working in the fields. She asked in surprise, "Is there still work in the fields now?"

In the future, there would be no work in the fields on the 25th of the lunar month.

Lu Weiguo glanced at the fields and said, "Even when farmers are idle, they still have to work. The higher authorities require the land to be leveled and deep-turned. There is a popular saying now."

"What is it?" Shi Tingyu was curious. " During

the coldest days of winter, we start working after eating dumplings." Lu Weiguo sighed.

Deep-turning the land did not increase the output much, but in fact it even reduced the output.

But now everyone is doing this to show the spirit of learning from Dazhai.

Shi Tingyu had never expected such a day. Her impression of the 1970s was the period of mass mobilization, when educated youth went to the countryside and needed tickets everywhere. As for details such as when the farmers took a break, she didn't know. She

didn't expect that farmers would have to work during the Spring Festival.
