When Shu Ying mentioned Duan Huaichuan, Li Qingqing's heart jumped.
She hugged the child tightly, a little nervously, and Shu Ying did the same.
Although she learned from Shu Yan that Xie Zhiyan was not dead, Duan Huaichuan had no definite news.
If he really dies, Li Qingqing's identity will need to be verified before the compensation can be distributed.
During that time, she and her child will also be in a very bad situation.
The sentry stood like a poplar tree. Seeing that the group was indeed with a child and hearing the name Xie Zhiyan, he immediately understood who the people were.
He politely led the person to the shade of a tree next to the guard post.
"I'll make a call to confirm. Please wait here for a moment. I'll let you know when I have any news."
Shu Ying thanked her repeatedly, "Okay, thank you."
The other party waved their hand.
The sentry entered the guardhouse under Shu Ying's watchful gaze.
Li Qingqing was a little nervous, and her voice trembled slightly: "Yingying, do you think it's against the rules for us to come here so suddenly?"
They don't understand the military's regulations. What if their family members' arrival causes them more trouble?
Shu Ying was also a little unsure, but they were all properly married to men.
Even though Xie Zhiyan's job is special, there are still arrangements made for his family members.
“We’ll wait for news. Don’t worry too much. There’s a family housing complex here. We went through the normal marriage process. Marriage is protected by law, so don’t be afraid.”
With Shu Ying's comfort, Li Qingqing's wildly beating heart calmed down a bit.
Yueyue and Yangyang were squatting on the ground, seemingly playing in the dirt, but they would occasionally peek inside and whisper about whose gun was the coolest.
A short while later, the sentry who had made the call came out and stood neatly in front of Shu Ying.
"Hello comrade, I have already confirmed with the leader. Are you Comrade Shu Ying?"
Shu Ying was completely bewildered, not expecting that the other party even knew her name.
She nodded: "Yes, that's me. Is it convenient for Xie Zhiyan to come pick us up now?"
The sentry looked somewhat embarrassed, but he still explained clearly: "It's like this, regarding your military dependent status, we applied to the political department for your military dependent status a few days ago, and the report was issued yesterday. You can now go directly to the family compound to be assigned to Commander Xie's courtyard."
Shu Ying and Li Qingqing exchanged a glance, while Song Zhaodi, standing beside them, remained silent.
"What about my friend's? Her husband is Duan Huaichuan. Do family members accompanying military personnel also need to submit a report? If they don't have this report, will it affect my friend and her child?"
Shu Ying's mind was a complete mess.
She hasn't even arrived yet, so who got this application approved?
After much thought, Xie Zhiyan was the only one who could do this.
How did he know that he was bringing his child to join the military?
Could it be that he received all the letters she wrote to him, but due to special circumstances, he was unable to reply?
Li Qingqing's palms were also covered in a layer of cold sweat. She had brought her child all the way here. If she were sent back again, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?
The sentry shook his head apologetically: "We have only received your application for military dependents so far. We haven't heard from the others yet. But I can help ask if they have submitted any applications. Even if they haven't submitted any applications, it's fine for family members to stay in the family compound for a short period of time. However, the maximum duration for temporary accommodation is 45 days."
With those words, Shu Ying felt relieved.
As long as Duan Huaichuan is alive, forty-five days is enough to handle the relevant formalities.
He better not be dead!!
"Then I'd really appreciate it if you could ask for me. I'm so sorry."
Watching the sentry's departing figure, Shu Ying wondered if, in her previous life, Xie Zhiyan had known about the trouble in her family as soon as he returned.
That's why she submitted her application to accompany her husband to the military without any hesitation?
If that's really the case, then everything Xie Zhiyan did was clearly to protect her!
Shu Ying's heart skipped a beat, as if she had missed some important information.
The sentry quickly hung up the phone and came out.
When she met Li Qingqing's gaze again, she felt a little reluctant.
Shu Ying and Li Qingqing went up to him at the same time: "How is it? Is Xie Zhiyan here now? Is he very busy with work? If it's convenient, could you ask him to come and see us first?"
Since they've already come all this way, no matter what the situation is on Duan Huaichuan's side, they need a place to stay first.
The sentry stated frankly, "Commander Xie is currently not at his work unit. The reply from above is that he just returned not long ago and then left again."
Shu Ying was full of questions: "He left? Where did he go?"
Since Xie Zhiyan has already submitted an application for her to accompany him to the military, he can't just leave her and her child to fend for themselves, can he?
The sentry said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's not convenient for us to know the specifics of Commander Xie's actions, but don't worry, the leadership has instructed us to make sure you are properly taken care of. People from above have already been sent to pick you up, and they will be there in about three to five minutes."
After he finished speaking, he met Li Qingqing's expectant gaze: "As for Company Commander Duan, he was seriously injured when he returned from the front line and is still unconscious in the hospital, which is why your report on accompanying the troops has not been submitted."
Upon hearing that Duan Huaichuan was injured, Li Qingqing's heart leaped into her throat.
