Chapter 94 Arrival at Mirage
Ren Guochang ignored Zhu Shengli and walked straight out of the courtyard.
Gu Yiye and Lin Shanshan said to Zhu Shengli, "Secretary Zhu, we'll be leaving now."
Zhu Shengli, with a forced smile on his face, said, "Okay, have a safe trip and come back soon."
The two walked to the car, and Gu Yiye saw that his third uncle had two big dark circles under his eyes, so he said, "Commander, let me drive. I learned to drive in the army and I have a driver's license."
Ren Guochang was also tired, and driving while fatigued was not an option, so he nodded: "Okay, you come. Which military region are you from?"
Gu Yiye opened the back door for Lin Shanshan and let her get in first. It was safe for a pregnant woman to sit in the back seat, and there was plenty of space. She could lie down if she got tired.
Lin Shanshan sat down and closed the door before Gu Yiye answered, "Jiangcheng Military Region."
After speaking, he got into the driver's seat, and Ren Guochang sat in the passenger seat.
“Your grandfather and I both worked in the Jinling Military Region. If you had gone to the Jinling Military Region back then, we might have recognized each other long ago.”
After all, Gu Yiye looks exactly like his older brother.
The car was driving smoothly and at a steady speed on the highway. Ren Guochang in the passenger seat and Lin Shanshan in the back seat were both asleep.
Ren Guochang fell asleep due to exhaustion, emitting soft snoring.
Lin Shanshan was very sleepy during her pregnancy, and there was a little bit of glistening drool at the corner of her mouth! (I don't know if other pregnant women drool, but I often drooled during my afternoon naps when I was pregnant. I didn't drool before I was pregnant. It only started when I got pregnant.)
When the car entered Yuzhang Province, it was already noon. Gu Yiye found a state-run restaurant, parked the car, and planned to have lunch there before leaving.
Ren Guochang was startled awake. He woke up as soon as the car stopped. He looked around and realized that they hadn't arrived in Haishi yet. Gu Yiye must have stopped to have lunch, so he got out of the car.
Lin Shanshan was fast asleep and didn't even get up after the car stopped. Gu Yiye opened the car door, wiped the drool from the corner of his lips with a handkerchief, and picked up his wife: "Wife, time to eat."
Lin Shanshan smacked her lips: "Have we arrived in Haishi yet?"
"Not yet, we've only just arrived in Yuzhang, let's eat first."
"Um......"
Lin Shanshan opened her eyes groggily, rubbed them, and got out of the car, taking Gu Yiye's strong arm as she went.
Ren Guochang only went into the restaurant with them after they got out of the car.
The waiter saw Ren Guochang, or rather, saw his epaulets, and greeted him with a smile as bright as a flower: "Commander, please come in and have a private room."
Ren Guochang said, "Let's have a simple meal. We still have to travel afterward, so let's sit outside and bring your menus."
The waiter eagerly handed over the menu, which Ren Guochang gave to Gu Yiye, saying, "You can order whatever you like."
Gu Yiye took it and asked, "Does the commander have any dietary restrictions?"
Ren Guochang frowned and said, "Yiye, if you won't call me Third Uncle now, just call me Uncle Ren for now. Don't keep calling me Chief, it's too formal."
Gu Yiye nodded and asked again, "Uncle Ren, are there any foods you don't like to eat or are allergic to?"
"No, just give me some meat. I can't live without meat."
"good!"
Gu Yiye and Ren Guochang both have big appetites and love meat. They ordered a crystal pork knuckle, a braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, a plate of braised mandarin fish, and a light stewed chicken. They didn't order any side dishes, but asked for a stove. After they had almost finished the chicken, they put some seasonal vegetables in it.
After finishing their meal, Lin Shanshan asked, "Uncle Ren, how much longer until we reach Haishi?"
It's less than a third of the way there; I estimate it will take another seven or eight hours.
"If there are no delays on the road, it will be as early as 9 o'clock."
Lin Shanshan wanted to get to Haishi as soon as possible, as it was not safe to be on the road after dark. So she said, "Brother Gu, let's buy some dry food at the supply and marketing cooperative later. We'll just have to make do for dinner. Getting on the road is the priority."
Gu Yiye said, "Alright."
Ren Guochang paid the bill with 22 yuan and grain coupons, and the three of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative. Lin Shanshan had abundant supplies in her spatial storage, but with Ren Guochang there, it wasn't appropriate for her to take them out.
Gu Yiye bought cookies and candy, filled the water bottle, and finally bought apples. This time, Gu Yiye paid for them.
Ren Guochang had long regarded Gu Yiye as his own nephew, so his family didn't need to be polite or argue with him.
After a hurried journey, the three arrived safely at Haishi First People's Hospital at 8:58 p.m.
After parking the car, the three of them rushed to Ren Shiyou's ward. Lin's parents and elder brother knew that their daughter and son-in-law would be there that night, so they hadn't left work and were waiting for Ren in his ward.
