Shi Yanning and Huo Chenzhou sat in the cars carefully arranged by the army, with a thousand thoughts in their minds.
They were dressed in neat military uniforms, with determination and calmness in their eyes, as if they were ready to face any challenge at any time.
As the cars slowly drove towards the train station, the military green jeeps decorated with big red flowers that came one after another were particularly eye-catching. The bright red flowers sparkled brightly in the sun, as if cheering for the two heroes' impending departure.
The special camera on the car recorded this unforgettable moment. Each photo seemed to freeze time and preserve the glory of this moment forever.
Huo Chenzhou and the driver soldiers were even more meticulous in their makeup. They took care of every detail and displayed the unique style of a soldier.
When they arrived at the train station, the bustling crowd suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at them with surprise and envy, thinking that they were a newlywed couple embarking on a sweet journey.
Shi Yanning was the bride brought by this officer.
"Oh my, this bride is so pretty. She looks like a good fertile woman with a pretty face! This officer has good taste!"
However, the stationmaster soon recognized these two special people with his keen observation.
He walked forward excitedly, his eyes sparkling with admiration, and muttered to himself: "This is actually the hero who built the railway!"
Although his voice was not loud, it sounded like a thunder in the train station, attracting the attention of everyone around.
At this moment, everyone realized that the petite woman next to Huo Chenzhou was the heroine who worked tirelessly and ran around to strive for resources for them again and again when the road was being built, so that the railway could pass smoothly in front of that barren land!
The staff at the train station gathered around them, their eyes full of admiration. They knew that the couple had never been the kind of people who liked to show off, and they quietly dedicated their efforts only for the benefit of the country and the people.
Today, they are traveling in military uniforms, presumably because they have made significant achievements in their work and received the promotions they deserve.
At this moment, the entire train station was filled with a solemn and sacred atmosphere, and people were full of respect and blessings for the two heroes.
They have demonstrated through their actions what true heroes are and what selfless dedication is. They deserve the respect and praise of everyone.
The bustling scene in the train station is truly amazing. Passengers coming and going are surging like a tide. They come from all over the world and have different faces and stories.
However, when one focuses on the vast land of the Northwest, one can clearly feel the huge difference between this place and the eastern region.
Due to the unique climatic conditions, harsh natural environment, and relatively low level of economic development, the railway stations in the northwest appear much quieter than those bustling stations in the east.
The flow of people here is far less than that of large train stations in the east. Even during peak hours, there is no crowded scene.
The ethnic minority compatriots living on this land have demonstrated unique characteristics.
They are generous by nature, as if the vast grassland has endowed them with a heroic temperament. Whether in character or speech, they are straightforward and do not hide their inner thoughts. They say whatever they think and never hide anything.
The relationship between ticket inspectors and passengers is also particularly harmonious.
Many ticket inspectors and train attendants are high school students recruited from the local area. They are full of love for this land and have deep feelings for the passengers around them.
Because they are familiar with each other's faces and lives, you can always see them talking and greeting each other cordially at the station, just like a family.
At this moment, Huo Chenzhou and Shi Yanning were being escorted onto the train by a group of brave soldiers.
This was a comfortable soft-seat carriage, and all six seats were occupied by them. They sat in the spacious and bright seats, looking at the northwest scenery passing by the window, feeling a lot of emotion in their hearts.
The rolling mountains and the vast Gobi Desert seem to be telling the vicissitudes and tenacity of this land...
Xu Qiang sent the two of them to the train. His expression of determination and courage was evident at this moment. He nodded slightly and said softly, "Go ahead, and be careful on the road."
Huo Chenzhou and Shi Yanning nodded, "Thank you, Brother Xu."
Huo Chenzhou walked in front, holding Shi Yanning's hand, and gave the more spacious and comfortable seat inside to Shi Yanning. He then retreated to the narrow aisle and generously gave the space that originally belonged to him to the people who were traveling with him.
These people were all the entourage carefully arranged for him by Commander Wang. They were shouldering an important mission and were to escort him safely all the way to the prosperous imperial capital.
During yesterday's battle, Commander Wang said with great enthusiasm that it was no problem to arrange as many manpower as possible, and he would be given full confidence and security.
However, he refused without hesitation. In his opinion, as a soldier, he should have the courage to move forward bravely and fearlessly. Why does he need external support?
But in the end, under the earnest persuasion of Political Commissar Qian, he slowly nodded and accepted the accompaniment of these people.
He knew that the journey was long and full of unknowns, and with these companions by his side, perhaps they would feel more at ease and have more strength...
Shi Yanning was delighted to love the unique and rich customs and culture of the Northwest, as if every breath of it could deeply attract her heart.
Just before boarding the train to a distant place, she bought several cakes that were only available in this place, just like a child carefully choosing gifts.
The pancake looks so cute. If you break it gently, you can see the fresh and tender beef inside. The red texture sparkles attractively in the sun, as if telling the heroism and passion of this land.
"What else do you want to eat? I'll go buy it." Huo Chenzhou looked at his wife tenderly, his eyes full of pampering.
At this time, Shi Yanning was taking small bites of a pancake while admiring the vast and boundless scenery outside the car window. Her focused expression and slightly upturned mouth corners made Huo Chenzhou feel inexplicably warm in his heart.
Looking at her appearance, Huo Chenzhou suddenly felt his stomach growling, as if his appetite was also aroused.
"No, that's enough." Shi Yanning quickly shook his head with a faint smile on his face.
She knew that if she felt hungry later, she could always order meals provided on the train, and the meals on the train were really delicious, and could not be compared with those simple and quick fast foods.
She had tasted it once before, and the flavor still lingered on her tongue, making it hard for her to forget it, as if it was not just a meal but also a beautiful memory that was deeply imprinted in her heart.
Huo Chenzhou saw his wife gently shaking her head, a trace of concern and heartache flashed in his eyes, and her slightly furrowed brows seemed to express some uneasiness.
He sighed inwardly, knowing full well that his wife had been spoiled like a little princess by her family in the past, and it was really hard for him to bear the thought of her suffering.
So he quickly took out a thick and warm coat with a soft texture from his bag.
He stood up carefully, walked to his wife's side, and whispered, "Be good, don't catch a cold, get up and sit on this warm coat first. You will have to sit for a whole day and night, so sitting on this soft place for a while will make you more comfortable."
As he spoke, he gently took his wife's hand and helped her up from her seat. Looking at her somewhat confused eyes, he smiled gently and then carefully spread the coat evenly on the seat.
Thinking back to the time when they first got together, Huo Chenzhou still remembered how pampered his wife was at that time. If he moved a little, or used a little too much force in his hands, or if some action was inappropriate, she would not be able to help but cry out in pain. That pouty look is still clearly imprinted in his mind.
But now, regardless of the long journey and fatigue, she resolutely decided to take a train for a day and a night to see him just after returning from abroad. How could he not be moved by such deep affection?
But at the same time, he also secretly vowed to take good care of her in the future, never let her suffer like this, and never let her work so hard.
Shi Yanning slowly leaned on Huo Chenzhou's solid and broad shoulders, as if her whole body and mind had melted into his warm and broad embrace. She raised her head slightly, her eyes flashing with anticipation, and she quietly stared at the northwest scenery passing by outside the window.
The vast expanses of land, the rolling mountains, and the occasional desert scenes had a completely different charm from the places she was once familiar with.
Thinking back to when I first came here, I was so exhausted from the long journey that I had no time to savor the unique beauty before my eyes.
Now, as she was about to embark on her journey back to the city, she felt a strong desire in her heart to appreciate the unique charm of this northwestern land.
At this moment, she was talking, her little mouth was like a restless bird, chewing the roujiamo-like pancake in her hand.
You know, nowadays dietary restrictions have been gradually relaxed, and many people have begun to prepare various cooking utensils, and have flocked to the streets or set up stalls near train stations.
All these changes are due to the fact that they were under some kind of confinement for a long time and did not have such an opportunity to show and develop. Therefore, everyone cherishes this new beginning and is very attentive in making the dough and mixing the fillings.
I saw that the pancake was carefully kneaded, with a chewy texture, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and exuding bursts of tempting aroma.
The meat wrapped in it has been carefully pounded, making every bit of meat fully flavored, tender and juicy.
The combination of fillings is also extremely particular. Not only is oil used to make the whole pancake moist and delicious, but various condiments are also added generously to perfectly blend the various flavors together. Every bite can bring the ultimate taste enjoyment.
While tasting the delicious food, Shi Yanning was immersed in her longing for the northwest scenery, as if she had become one with this land at this moment, fully experiencing its unique style.
The little soldier came back with a tired face but a hint of excitement. He carefully placed the kettle full of hot water on the table, as if afraid that any sound would disturb anyone.
He moved very quietly, like a cat afraid of disturbing its prey, and no one was disturbed by him.
Then, seeing Shi Yanning and Huo Chenzhou, he quietly retreated.
Who would have thought that the King of Hell, who is feared by everyone in this army, actually has such a gentle side?
Time passed quietly, and the train started soon. With the crisp clanging sound, it slowly moved forward, and people's thoughts gradually drifted away.
At noon, the young soldier in the next seat was about to get up to get his lunch, but at this moment, Huo Chenzhou suddenly reached out and grabbed the lunch box into his own hand.
"I can do it myself, and you guys just prepare your own meals." There was a hint of unquestionableness in his tone.
The young soldier was stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, while the others who saw this scene all showed gratified smiles, and had more respect for this seemingly stern officer in their hearts.
After saying that, he slowly straightened up. The 1.80-meter-tall man suddenly stood up like a tall green pine tree. His height advantage was instantly apparent, as if a towering mountain stood there abruptly, making the entire carriage, which was not spacious to begin with, suddenly become narrow and cramped. The space seemed to be occupied by his tall body, which made people feel a little oppressed.
However, when one's eyes fell on his handsome and resolute facial features, a completely different feeling arose spontaneously. His deep contours as if carved by a knife, coupled with his bright and determined eyes, seemed to be carefully carved by God, and unexpectedly formed a unique and charming landscape, attracting the attention of many people around him involuntarily.
Shi Yanning turned her head, her eyes flashing with anticipation, and looked at the man who was getting up to get her food.
As he left, her eyes, which had been smiling, narrowed into slits, with an expression of happiness and satisfaction in her eyes.
After a long while, Huo Chenzhou hurriedly brought the food back, holding four lunch boxes carefully in his hands, looking extremely serious.
Shi Yanning was slightly stunned, and a trace of doubt arose in her heart. You know, in the army, a frugal and simple style has always been strongly advocated. Bringing back four lunch boxes at once was really beyond her expectation.
She wondered in her heart, is it really necessary to prepare such a sumptuous meal? So, she couldn't help but ask, "Huo Chenzhou, why did you bring so many lunch boxes? Isn't the army always very frugal?"
Her words revealed her inner confusion and curiosity.
Huo Chenzhou then looked at his silly wife, "The conductor said they made this specially for us, and said they wanted to thank the hero!"
