After a moment, Ma Guoliang hung up the phone and said with some emotion: "You are so lucky, kid. There is a freight truck going to Bingcheng at 8 o'clock tonight. It's still the same as before. Do you want to take it?"
Xu Jianguo thought about it, nodded and said, "Sit down!"
"Okay, go back and prepare later, I'll arrange a car to take you there!" said Ma Guoliang.
"Okay, thank you, Commander!"
Ma Guoliang waved his hand without saying anything, picked up the phone on the table and dialed again.
After Ma Guoliang hung up the phone, Dong Jixiang, who was sitting next to him, put out the cigarette in his hand and sighed, "I was planning to keep you for a few more days, but I didn't expect you to leave so easily!"
"Boss, stop talking. We have to leave anyway. There's no point in staying for two more days!" Ma Guoliang advised.
"I understand!" Dong Jixiang nodded.
Seeing the two old men looking a little sad, Xu Jianguo felt uncomfortable. For a moment, the three of them did not speak anymore and just sat there quietly.
After a while, Tai Wei's voice shouting "Report" was heard outside the door.
After getting Ma Guoliang's permission, the office door was pushed open and Tai Wei walked in with a newly-opened letter of introduction.
After handing the letter of introduction to Ma Guoliang, he turned around and left without stopping.
Ma Guoliang handed the letter of introduction to Xu Jianguo and said, "Put the letter in a safe place and go back to prepare. Don't worry about the bulky luggage. I'll arrange for someone to send it to Jingzhou. You can use it directly when you return home to visit your relatives and go to Jingzhou."
"Okay, thank you, Commander, and thank you, Deputy Commander. I'm leaving now!" Xu Jianguo put the letter of introduction into the file bag, stood up and said, then walked towards the door.
But when he arrived at the door, Xu Jianguo suddenly stopped, turned around, and saluted the two of them with slightly red eyes.
Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang looked at him and quickly stood up to return the greeting.
The three of them remained in the saluting position in silence. After a moment, when the ceremony was over, Xu Jianguo grinned at the two of them, turned around, opened the door and walked out.
When he reached the corridor, he saluted Tai Wei and Guo Bin again, then strode out of the headquarters.
After driving back home, Xu Jianguo said hello to Du Yu and then slipped into the space.
…
At five o'clock in the evening, Xu Jianguo and his family left the space and appeared in their own house.
After waiting for a while, a jeep stopped at the gate of the yard.
Hearing the noise, Xu Jianguo brought Wen Sitian and the children out, only to find that the people who came were Tai Wei and Guo Bin.
"Brother Tai, Brother Guo, why are you two here?" Xu Jianguo asked.
"The leader has ordered us and the two of us to take you to the train station. They have something to do in the evening, so they can't come to see you off. They asked us to help them convey a message, wishing you a safe journey!" Tai Wei said.
When Xu Jianguo heard this, he nodded but didn't say anything.
But what I was thinking was, are these two old men afraid that I will cry when they send me off?
In fact, this was not his wishful thinking. When leaving the headquarters in the morning, Xu Jianguo, who was sitting in the car, suddenly had a bad taste and wanted to use the Eye of Time and Space to see the reactions of the two old men after he left.
He never thought that with the activation of the Eye of Time and Space, he would see a scene that he would never forget.
Just as Xu Jianguo saluted the two and left, and the door closed, Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang both shed tears.
When Xu Jianguo used the Eye of Time and Space to check, the two old men were sitting on chairs facing each other, wiping their tears in silence. Looking at their expressions, Xu Jianguo could feel their sadness. After sighing slightly, he closed the Eye of Time and Space.
Just as Tai Wei and Guo Bin were helping Xu Jianguo and his family load their luggage into the car, Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang were staying at their respective homes.
The reason why they did not go to the gate of the base to see Xu Jianguo and his family off was because both of them now had a pair of slightly red and swollen eyes. From an image point of view, it was really embarrassing to appear in front of Wen Sitian and the children.
This scene also became an excuse for Lin Wan and Sun Xiuqin to laugh at them when the three families reunited many years later.
Because Xu Jianguo's jeep was parked at the gate of the courtyard, Tai Wei and Guo Bin only drove one car over. Two jeeps were definitely enough to accommodate people and luggage.
The small courtyard in front of them gradually moved away as the car started. The couple sitting in the back seat held hands tightly. They were both excited and nervous about the upcoming new life, but no matter what, as long as the family could be together, they were not afraid of going anywhere.
When they arrived at the gate of the base, the sharp-eyed Xu Jianguo saw Lin Wan and Sun Xiuqin waiting there.
Tai Wei stopped the car and the family got out. When the three women saw each other, they couldn't stop crying. The five little ones, who hadn't felt much at first, also started crying because of their tears.
After a long while, everyone stopped crying, and then, with Lin Wan and Sun Xiuqin constantly exhorting them, the jeep restarted and drove out of the base compound.
The sadness brought about by separation filled everyone's heart, so the atmosphere in the car was a bit depressing on the road.
No conversation along the way.
At 7:40 in the evening, two jeeps stopped in front of Dhavari Railway Station.
With the help of Tai Wei and Guo Bin, the family carried their luggage into the train station, found the staff to explain the situation, and then entered the platform.
At this time, the freight train to Ice City had arrived at the station, and the staff at the train station were loading and unloading goods. Led by the staff, Xu Jianguo and his family came to an empty carriage at the end of the train.
Because it was not the first time for the family to take a freight train, they did not feel any discomfort. After getting Xu Jianguo's permission, the three girls jumped into the carriage first, followed by Lele, and finally the father and son.
After taking the luggage handed over by Tai Wei and Guo Bin, Xu Jianguo grinned at them. Wen Sitian and the children also thanked them.
"Jianguo, sister-in-law, I wish you a safe journey!" Tai Wei and Guo Bin said.
"Brother Tai, Brother Guo, thank you!" said Xu Jianguo.
After the three of them saluted each other, they waved goodbye.
