Chapter 107: Departure and Return to the Army
Because of Mr. Shen's admission to the hospital, Shen Jintao's plan to go to the army was delayed for several days. After all, she still had to calm the old man down.
Originally, Chen Jintao had considered taking the old man to the army to play for a few days, and then coming back with Xu Xuemei, but she eventually rejected the idea. The old man had just experienced that, and his health was indeed not as good as before, so he still needed to take good care of himself.
However, because of this sudden situation, Xu Xuemei was unable to go with Chen Jintao.
In fact, it’s not that she can’t go. After all, the old man can take care of other things by himself. It’s just that Chen Jintao is a little worried.
In the end, he assured Xu Xuemei again and again that he would take good care of himself. Besides, he still had his mother-in-law at home, so there was no need to worry too much.
Huo Chenggong also said that he could send the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to the place and then come back. There were not many things to do at home, so Huo Dongsheng could just take care of the chickens.
There really is no time to delay any further. Huo Beichuan still doesn't know that his wife is pregnant, and Chen Jintao also wants to share this good news with him as soon as possible.
So the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and Huo Chenggong boarded the train to the army on the twelfth day.
Because of the company of her parents-in-law, the journey was not too boring. In addition, the weather was relatively cold and there was no strong odor. Chen Jintao felt that she could still overcome it.
Of course, because of the pregnancy, it’s not that easy.
Chen Jintao also teased herself that she was also a hypocrite, "I was fine when I went back, why do you feel uncomfortable now that this has been discovered?"
Liu Guifen was worried. "This is a normal reaction. Pregnancy changes every day. You may be fine one day, but vomit all over the place the next day. How can this be hypocritical? If you really feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."
"I can still bear it. It's not particularly painful." Chen Jintao knew that her mother-in-law cared about her and felt very warm.
Although she had not had much contact with Liu Guifen in either her previous life or this life, to be honest, she felt really at ease getting along with this mother-in-law. No matter what decision she made, her mother-in-law would not interfere. At times like this, she could not hide the worry in her eyes, and it was obvious that she truly loved her.
"Hey, if it weren't for your work, I really wouldn't want you to go back to the army. It's a hard journey." Liu Guifen sighed, then took out a small bag of tangerines from her bag and handed it to Chen Jintao, "Eat some of this quickly, you'll feel better after eating this."
Chen Jintao was a little surprised, "When did you buy it? Why didn't I know about it?"
Liu Guifen glanced at her man and couldn't help laughing. "It was your dad. After he knew you were pregnant and had to go back to the army, he was trying to find a way to get some fruit. But fruit was hard to buy. He happened to meet a family that grew this at home, so he went to them and talked for a long time."
"Your mother-in-law has also prepared a lot of things for you. She said you love her pickled cabbage, so she brought a jar of it. Speaking of which, your mother's pickled cabbage skills are really amazing. When I first got married, we were both new wives. You don't know that your mother conquered me with this skill. At that time, she saw that I was vomiting so badly, so she made some for me. When I was pregnant with Beichuan, I vomited everything I ate. I couldn't eat without your mother's pickled cabbage."
Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Shen Jintao looked at her father-in-law gratefully, "Dad, thank you!"
Huo Chenggong was a little embarrassed, "What's the point of saying thank you or not as a family?"
Chen Jintao looked at her mother-in-law again, "According to what you said, Beichuan is ignorant and only knows how to torment you. You should have spanked him after he was born."
Liu Guifen and Huo Chenggong were both amused and laughed continuously.
"Beat him, of course! Don't be fooled by his appearance now. He was a naughty boy when he was little. If he wasn't beaten for three days, he would go crazy. Your father would chase him and beat him a lot."
Now it was Shen Jintao's turn to laugh.
There were laughter and joy along the way, and Chen Jintao felt comfortable. If she felt a little uncomfortable, her mother-in-law could always find a solution for her.
After a bumpy journey, they finally arrived at the army. Because they had sent a telegram to Huo Beichuan before departure, Shen Jintao saw Gao Wu as soon as she walked out of the train station.
Gao Wu came to pick me up both times. Chen Jintao asked, "Why didn't my old Huo come? I trouble you every time."
Gao Wu laughed happily, "Sister-in-law, isn't it being too polite for you to say that? Old Huo has to train new soldiers today, so he asked me to come here. Hello, uncle and aunt, I'm Gao Wu, a soldier under Comrade Huo Beichuan, and also his best friend."
Gao Wu now exudes a sunny aura all over his body, and it seems that he has been having a very good time during this period.
"Is that so? Thank you for your help. When we get back, come to my house for dinner and I'll show you my cooking skills. Although I can't compare to Taozi's, I do have some unique skills."
Looking at Gao Wu's green military uniform, Liu Guifen and Huo Chenggong both felt very familiar with him. Although this was their first meeting, they did not feel too strange.
When Chen Jintao set out, she only sent a telegram to Huo Beichuan telling him about the train schedule and that her parents-in-law would come with her to the army. She did not mention the fact that she was pregnant. Of course, Chen Jintao also wanted to tell Huo Beichuan in person.
"Uncle and aunt, you should have come to visit our army a long time ago. We are all good guys in our army. When Lao Huo was in the army before, his comrades-in-arms all had wives and other things coming to visit them, but Lao Huo was still single at that time. He felt lonely every time during the holidays, hahahaha, of course I felt lonely too. Fortunately, Lao Huo married such a good wife like sister-in-law, and fortunately, Lao Huo and I have a good relationship, otherwise I might still be alone now..."
Gao Wu was a talkative person, and on the way back he told Liu Guifen and Huo Chenggong about the general situation in the army.
Of course, most of the time he still talked about how excellent Chen Jintao was. After all, when it comes to elders, it’s never wrong to keep praising their children. But when it comes to praising his good brother, he really can’t bring himself to do it, so he praises Chen Jintao instead.
But Shen Jintao is indeed outstanding, and it is impossible to describe all her deeds in a short time.
Gao Wu's cooking skills that conquered everyone, her boxing style, her entering the school to work, and saving people...
When they arrived at the family compound, these things had not yet been finished. Liu Guifen and Huo Chenggong seemed proud of it, after all, this was their daughter-in-law.
If someone had told them in the past that their future daughter-in-law would be such a powerful person, they would never have believed it.
