When I opened the gate, I saw two rows of soldiers standing outside, and many military wives who came to see them off.
"Salute!" As a loud voice rang out, the soldiers saluted Zhan Yihan in unison.
Zhan Yihan also stood up straight and saluted the soldiers. For a soldier, there was no need for too many words; this kind of farewell was the most appropriate, the best. After spending two full years with them, it was impossible not to feel reluctant to leave. However, a soldier's mission was to defend their country; they would go wherever they were needed.
Guo Ying walked forward and handed a bag of steamed buns to Su Jinyue, "Sister-in-law Zhan, you can keep these steamed buns and eat them on the way." She got up early this morning to make steamed buns, and she didn't know what to give her. She really couldn't bear to part with Su Jinyue. She had helped her so much, but she didn't even have the chance to repay her.
"Thank you!" Su Jinyue took it with a smile.
Before Guo Ying could say anything, she was pushed aside by the military wives who came up to say goodbye to Su Jinyue.
"Sister-in-law Zhan, please come back to see us more often when you have time."
"Sister-in-law Zhan, this is the dried radish I pickled myself."
"Take these corns with you, they're still warm." Although they hadn't spent much time with Su Jinyue, they admired her from the bottom of their hearts. After she came, they would come directly to Su Jinyue for any minor ailments, and she would always respond to their requests.
"Thank you everyone! I appreciate your kindness, but you can take the things back with you." Su Jinyue thanked the military wives.
"Sister-in-law Zhan, you don't dislike it, do you?"
Su Jinyue smiled and shook her head, "Why would I dislike it? It's just that I only have two hands and can't hold all these things." There were so many of them, even if she gave each of them one thing, her hands would be full.
The military wives glanced at Zhan Yihan, who was carrying two luggage bags, and then looked at the things in his hands. It seemed that he really couldn't carry them all.
They kept seeing Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan off to the car, and only when the car drove away did they withdraw their gaze and gradually disperse.
The train station was bustling with activity, the waiting room packed, and even the aisles crammed with people. Chinese New Year was approaching, and now was the peak season for returning home, making train tickets the hardest to buy.
"Give us a call when you get there." Lin Xufei patted Zhan Yihan's shoulder, a hint of reluctance in his eyes. They used to be able to meet whenever they wanted, but now they can only talk to each other over the phone.
Zhan Yihan smiled and nodded, "You can also let me know when the party is, and I might be able to come back." No matter how far the distance is, it is not a problem for him.
"Then listen carefully. If we notify you and you can't come back, we won't call you again in the future," Lin Xufei joked. It takes at least two days to get from Northeast China to Beijing. How could they possibly ask Yi Han to come all the way back just for a party? Unless it was something important, or the three of them were getting married?
"I will definitely be there as soon as you call me." Zhan Yihan said with a smile.
"Just brag, you think you are Sun Wukong, who can travel 108,000 miles with one somersault." Lin Xufei laughed.
Zhan Yihan smiled and said, "The train is coming soon, let's go in." He couldn't travel 100,000 miles with one somersault, but he could still travel a thousand miles with one step.
"Take care!" Bai Tingxue said to Zhan Yihan.
Zhan Yihan nodded, picked up the luggage on the ground, and walked towards the ticket gate with Su Jinyue.
The train was also extremely crowded, with the aisle filled with luggage and people. Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue had to work very hard to squeeze into the berth.
There were two beds in the berth, both with bunk beds. Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan walked into the berth and saw an old man and a girl of about seventeen or eighteen sitting inside. They looked like a grandfather and grandson.
"I'm here." The old man smiled and greeted Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan. In his opinion, being able to sit on the same train was fate, and being able to sit in the same berth was fate within fate.
"Hello!" Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan nodded to the two of them.
"Are you a couple?" the old man asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Su Jinyue nodded.
"We are a grandparent and grandchild. This is my granddaughter Yufeng. We are going to the army to visit Yufeng's parents. Are you going back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year?" the old man asked with a smile.
"Grandpa, why do you say anything?" Zhou Yufeng said unhappily. Her father was the battalion commander of the army. If the other party was a bad guy and had bad intentions towards them, it would be too late for them to regret it.
"Grandpa knows his limits." Zhou Jianye smiled and patted Zhou Yufeng's hand. He had lived so long, how could he not tell if the other person was a good person? The young couple had clear eyes, especially the young man, who had the iron-blooded temperament of a soldier. If he was not mistaken, the other person must be a soldier like his son.
"Hmph!" Zhou Yufeng snorted disapprovingly. If the bad guys could see through it, then what was the point of the police? Grandpa was just getting old and confused.
"Little girl, you have quite a temper." Zhou Jianye shook his head and smiled. His granddaughter had been with him since she was little, and he had always loved her dearly. As a result, her personality was somewhat unruly.
Zhan Yihan put his luggage aside and took out a few books and placed them on the berth. It was not convenient for him to talk to Jin Yue with an outsider. He had originally wanted to experience the feeling of riding a train with Jin Yue, but now he felt a little restricted.
Su Jinyue gave Zhan Yihan a playful smile and said in a voice transmission: "Anyway, we can communicate with each other, which can be a kind of fun." She felt okay about Zhou Jianye, but she didn't want to have any contact with Zhou Yufeng.
Zhan Yihan curled his lips and smiled, "Yeah."
"Well, there is something I want to discuss with you." Zhou Jianye said a little embarrassedly.
"Go ahead," Su Jinyue nodded. She already knew what Zhou Jianye was going to say. Their original sleeper was supposed to have upper and lower berths, but now both lower berths were occupied, clearly indicating that the other party didn't want to sleep in the upper berth.
"Well, my heart isn't in good condition, and Yufeng was worried I might have an accident, so she wanted to sleep on the lower bunk so she could take care of me more easily," Zhou Jianye said awkwardly. He did have some heart problems, but he had medication with him, so as long as he took it on time, he would be fine. Seeing how high the berths were, Yufeng decided to sleep on the lower bunk. He originally wanted to sleep on the upper bunk, but he couldn't get up after trying several times.
"Okay." Su Jinyue replied. It was fine for her and Yihan to both sleep on the upper bunk.
"Thank you!" Zhou Jianye thanked him. Fortunately, the person he met wasn't the kind of person who cared about small matters. Otherwise, sleeping on the upper bunk would be unbearable for him.
