Xihe stayed at home with Old Mrs. Xia and waited quietly for Ji Changqing's telegram. A month later, he finally received the notice that he could set off.
Old Mrs. Xia cried bitterly, reluctant to leave: "Be careful on the road, call home when you get to the camp, and take care of yourself over there.
If you are wronged, tell grandma..."
I touched Xihe's little face and couldn't bear to let go.
Xihe was also very upset and couldn't help but say, "Grandma, why don't I not go and stay at home with you."
When Mrs. Xia heard this, she immediately let go of her hand and pushed her into the station: "Hurry up, hurry up,
Don't be late.
Silly girl,
Just talking nonsense.
Xihe was at a loss for words and could only say goodbye to Ji's mother. Finally, she hugged Old Lady Xia and entered the station with Ji's father and son. Fearing that something might happen to her on the way, Ji's father decided to take Ji Changyun with him to send her off and visit his son at the same time.
Old Mrs. Xia stretched her neck and left reluctantly until her girl disappeared from view.
The train rumbled along, passing through mountains and plains, and finally arrived at its destination after three days and three nights. As soon as I got out of the station, I saw two men in military uniforms.
Xi He's eyes lit up, and he walked over with the father and son: "I am Xia He, comrade,
Are you here to pick me up?"
The two men quickly looked at the three people and then smiled: "Hello, Comrade Xia,
Captain Ji has sent us to pick you up. Please follow us this way."
Take what's in their hands,
Taken to a jeep.
Along the way,
Through the conversation, Xihe also learned that the superior leader was coming to inspect today and Ji Changqing could not leave, so they were asked to come and pick him up.
The scenery outside the window quickly recedes, the scenery of the north comes into view, and the autumn becomes more and more profound.
The car finally entered a residential compound and stopped in front of a row of bungalows. Two young men helped them carry their luggage to the last room and pointed to the next room and said with a smile, "This is Comrade Ji Changye's room."
Xihe looked over and saw that the windowsill was empty, there was not a single piece of clothing hanging in the yard, and things were placed in a mess.
Looking at the doors of other residents, there were shoes on the windowsill, vegetables and beans planted in the yard, and children's and adults' clothes hanging on ropes. It was obvious that there were people living there.
She understood in her heart that even if Xia Luo came with her, she still could not enter the family compound.
This month, Xia Luo's affairs have caused a lot of uproar in the village. The villagers didn't expect her to be so bold.
I was so shocked that my jaw almost dropped.
However, as for what happened to Xia Luo here, the distance was too great, and many things were unclear.
Ji's father came on this trip to send her off and also to find out the situation.
Xia Luo's case simply couldn't withstand scrutiny. Even if Xihe didn't pursue it, if someone did, she wouldn't stand up to any consequences. Ji Changye, who had been involved with her, would also inevitably be investigated and potentially lose his job.
The Ji family was naturally anxious.
When she opened Ji Changqing's door, she saw that the bed, cabinets, and tables were all clean and tidy, as if they were specially arranged to welcome her arrival.
Suddenly, Xihe's gaze paused. She quickly walked to the windowsill and lifted the red cloth covering the table. Inside was a sewing machine.
She walked to the cabinet and gently opened it. Different styles of fabrics were neatly arranged inside.
Xihe felt warm in his heart and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
After putting away the luggage, the two comrades handed Xihe over to an aunt and asked her to help her familiarize herself with the environment.
"This is the cafeteria, and this is where the children go to school. The market is held every two weeks, and the next one will be in three days. It's a good time for us to have a break, so ask your old Ji to take you there."
There was a kind smile in Aunt Fat's eyes, she wore an apron around her waist, and had a loud voice.
While introducing, when he met passers-by, he also explained in detail that Xihe was called "Aunt Lin" and that it was "sister-in-law", etc., and was very enthusiastic.
Xihe answered with a smile, but in his heart he was shocked by the name "Lao Ji".
At noon, Auntie Pang took Xihe to the cafeteria for lunch and introduced her to everyone as Ji Changqing's young wife. Everyone came over curiously to talk to her, their eyes full of amazement: "Changqing, that big, dark guy, actually managed to get such a beautiful wife!"
Xihe smiled brightly: "I think my old Ji is quite fair."
boom--
There was laughter behind me.
She was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw a group of people standing behind her who knew where they came from.
Ji Changqing stood in front of a middle-aged man, his body straight and his face expressionless. The laughter came from a group of soldiers behind him.
Xihe blushed and held the lunch box, feeling embarrassed and not knowing whether to leave or stay.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Changqing, is this your wife?"
Ji Changqing nodded: "Leader, yes."
The middle-aged man glanced at his dark face, then looked at the honest, dark-faced man behind him and nodded, "Yeah, he's a lot whiter than Liu Santan."
Suddenly the laughter got louder, and Ji Changqing's eyes seemed to show some helplessness: "Leader."
The middle-aged man also knew that it was time to quit, so he told him to "live a good life now that you are married", and then took his people out to eat.
After returning home, Xihe started to clean the house. The father and son of the Ji family had nothing to do, so they borrowed a hoe from the neighbor to help Xihe cultivate the land in front of the house, and then use it to grow some vegetables for their own consumption.
At around three o'clock, Ji Changqing brought Ji Changye back.
The father and son of the Ji family stopped tending to the ground and pushed Ji Changye into the house and began to interrogate him.
Xi He and Ji Changqing stood outside the door: "How is Xia Luo?"
Ji Changqing sat down on the stool, avoiding people, and held her fair and tender hand: "I lived in there for a few days and was kicked out by Changye again. Now I'm renting a house outside."
Xihe nodded, it was pretty much what she expected.
Ji Changqing sneered: "Unless Changye doesn't want to do this anymore, there is no way the two of them can be together."
Xihe was surprised. It was the first time she saw Ji Changqing express his anger so directly.
Ji Changqing lowered his eyes and played with her fingers, explaining softly, "Xia Luo hadn't been locked up for two days when he desperately tried to find a connection to get her out. If it weren't for me, he would have been finished long ago."
Ji Changqing truly felt that Ji Changye had been blinded. Otherwise, how could he be so confused? He had absolutely no sense at all.
Xihe pursed her lips and held his hand: "Let's ignore him and let them do whatever they want, okay?"
She didn't want this to affect their lives.
Ji Changqing slowly smiled: "Okay."
I don't know what Ji's father said to Ji Changye, but when he left, he had anger on his face and was unwilling to stay even though they had agreed to play for two days.
Xihe looked up, and Ji Changqing smiled: "Let's go home."
Xihe nodded: "Yeah."
Ji Changqing goes to work in the morning, comes back at noon, and goes home around 5:30 in the evening. If he has training, it may be even later.
That day, he came back with a box lunch and knocked on the door. A voice came from inside: "Wait a moment."
The door opened, and a slender and graceful figure emerged: "Long..."
