"How is it? The house is alright, isn't it?" Qin Feiyang said with a hint of pride, "My wife Jingjing decorated it herself."
Zhou Weiguang glanced at the house in front of him. There were two rooms and a living room, which were already furnished with basic furniture, and a calendar was hanging on the wall.
There's nothing special about it.
However, seeing Qin Feiyang's smug expression, Zhou Weiguang nodded in agreement, "Not bad."
Qin Feiyang pointed to the apartment across the hall, "That apartment is empty. You should find a wife and have her move in so we can be neighbors!"
Zhou Weiguang glanced at Qin Feiyang and said, "Okay."
Qin Feiyang remembered that Zhou Weiguang had said he already had a girlfriend, which piqued his curiosity again.
"Who exactly is your boyfriend? Did you find him back in your hometown? Or is he from around here?"
Zhou Weiguang refused to say.
Qin Feiyang asked suspiciously, "You're not just saying you have a girlfriend because you're afraid I'll laugh at you, are you? You're actually still single!"
Zhou Weiguang, with his hands behind his back, said seriously, "How could that be? Am I that kind of person?"
Indeed... Zhou Weiguang never minded people calling him a bachelor.
Zhou Weiguang coughed lightly and asked, "Are any family members coming to your wedding?"
Qin Feiyang replied, "I grew up with my uncle and aunt; I have no other relatives. I wrote to my aunt, but haven't received a reply. My sister has sent a telegram saying she will definitely come over."
Zhou Weiguang breathed a sigh of relief, then casually asked, "When are you coming?"
Qin Feiyang stated the exact time the train would arrive at the station.
Zhou Weiguang nodded and said nothing more.
On the day Qin Hanshu arrived, Zhou Weiguang instructed Qin Feiyang, "Go to the garrison area for a meeting today."
Qin Feiyang was taken aback, then said, "Didn't I tell you before that my sister was coming today and I had to pick her up? Why are you making me go to a meeting?"
Zhou Weiguang seemed to just remember, and frowned, saying, "I'm so busy every day, how could I remember these trivial matters! What should we do then? The list of meeting attendees has already been drawn up, and for your sister's sake, I have to go to the garrison to change the list?"
Qin Feiyang hesitated and said, "Otherwise, should I have my men go and help me pick it up?"
“That works,” Zhou Weiguang said. “But we have to make sure they compare the person to the photo carefully, so they don’t mistake them for someone else. These days, those who traffic women and children are very brazen, and if something goes wrong, it could be disastrous.”
Qin Feiyang shuddered and quickly dismissed his idea.
He looked at Zhou Weiguang and suddenly asked, "You met my sister when you went back to your hometown, right?"
Zhou Weiguang nodded.
Qin Feiyang pleaded, "Are you busy today? Could you pick up my sister from the train station for me?"
Zhou Weiguang frowned and pondered for a long time before reluctantly saying, "I'll make a trip for you when I have time."
Qin Feiyang was relieved and said gratefully, "Thank you very much, old squad leader."
Zhou Weiguang waved his hand, turned and left, hurriedly arranging for a car to head to the train station.
***
Qin Hanshu sat on the train for three days and three nights, and her buttocks were stiff.
Qin Feiyang has been in the army for almost eight years. Qin Hanshu was only twelve years old when he left. He went back once during that time.
Qin Hanshu remembered that when Qin Feiyang went home to visit his family, Yang Aizhen was afraid that she would have a conflict with Hu Wenwen during that time, and that Qin Feiyang would feel that she had been wronged at home, so she specially arranged for Hu Wenwen and Hu Bingbing to go back to their hometown in the countryside to stay for a few days.
Not counting the thirty years I spent in the space after my death, it's been four or five years since that visit to my relatives.
The thought of seeing her brother filled Qin Hanshu with excitement. Before getting off the train, she made a point of changing into clean and tidy clothes and combing her hair.
When Qin Hanshu saw the figure in military uniform from behind, her nose immediately stung with tears.
The last face Qin Feiyang left her in her previous life was a face numb with pain, and half of her hair was white.
That was around the time when Cao Jing died in a car accident and her nephew was abducted.
According to Hu Wenwen, Qin Feiyang's situation would get even worse, to the point where he would become so delirious that he would fight with stray dogs for food from a garbage can.
Qin Hanshu didn't see that scene, but just hearing about it was enough to break her heart.
Qin Hanshu tried her best to control her emotions, walked over, tightly grasped Qin Feiyang's clothes, and called out, "Brother..."
That "brother" was filled with heartache and grievance.
I feel sorry for Qin Feiyang's past life and I feel wronged by the tragic experiences of him and his sister in their past lives.
They never intentionally harmed anyone, but it seemed as if fate in their past life intended to place all the suffering in the world upon them.
Qin Hanshu just wanted to act cute with Qin Feiyang and see his face, which was not yet stained with the hardships and suffering.
She felt Qin Feiyang turn around, and with teary eyes, she looked up at him, then her expression froze...
A large, dark face.
Why is it Zhou Weiguang?
Qin Hanshu quickly released the hem of her clothes, wiped her eyes, and composed herself.
“Comrade Qin Hanshu,” Zhou Weiguang stood at attention, “your brother is very busy with work and asked me to pick you up.”
Qin Hanshu smiled politely and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Zhou."
Zhou Weiguang paused for a moment, then said, "Didn't we agree that I wouldn't need to address you with 'you' (formal)?"
Qin Hanshu smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Zhou Weiguang suddenly felt a strange sense of frustration.
When Qin Hanshu mistook him for Qin Feiyang just now, her feelings were completely different from now. That "brother" was so melodious and pleasant to hear.
When it was his turn, all he could do was be polite but distant.
"Let's go." Zhou Weiguang picked up Qin Hanshu's luggage, took the lead, and led the way.
Qin Hanshu hurriedly followed.
She looked closely at Zhou Weiguang in front of her and found that his back view was quite different from Qin Feiyang in her memory. Apart from the similar height, they were not similar at all.
I don't know what came over her just now, she actually mistook me for someone else.
Zhou Weiguang led Qin Hanshu to a military jeep parked outside the train station, with a soldier sitting in the driver's seat.
After sitting down, Zhou Weiguang signaled to the soldiers to start the car.
The train station was in the city center, and Qin Hanshu looked out the window curiously.
Jiangcheng is a large, economically developed city, more prosperous than the capital, with many high-rise buildings and a more Westernized architectural style.
The soldier driving the car saw Qin Hanshu's actions in the rearview mirror and began to introduce the buildings outside the window, explaining what they were.
Finally, he said, "Sister-in-law, when you have some free time, I'll have the battalion commander show you around. There are many fun places in Jiangcheng."
sister in law?
Zhou Weiguang glanced awkwardly at Qin Hanshu, then shouted, "Wang Xiaogang, watch your address! This is Deputy Battalion Commander Qin's sister, not some sister-in-law!"
