Why is it so heavy? She looked so relaxed carrying it, but the muscles in Ji Yue's hands tensed up as she carried the bag.
"What are you pretending to be?" he couldn't help but ask.
"They're all daily necessities. My mother was worried I wouldn't be used to them when I went to the provincial capital, so she brought them all for me. Are they heavy?"
"It's... okay." Ji Yue shook his head stubbornly.
Su Qingyun couldn't help but smile.
The two walked for more than twenty minutes and arrived at the train station, just in time for ticket checking and boarding the train.
"Let's go, our carriage is in front." Ji Yue said after looking at the ticket.
In order to make their children more comfortable, both families bought sleeper tickets. They didn't lack the money anyway.
"Okay." Su Qingyun nodded.
"We're here." Ji Yue said hurriedly, looking at the seat number in front of him.
The two of them shared a compartment. Su Qingyun's ticket was for the upper bunk, but Ji Yue considerately let Su Qingyun sleep on the lower bunk.
Su Qingyun looked at the two empty beds across from them, thinking of what happened last time, and muttered, "I wonder if there's anyone over there."
Ji Yue didn't know what she was thinking, so he asked, "Are you hungry? How about we go eat something first?" They came from the town by car and hadn't eaten yet.
"Okay." Su Qingyun was also hungry. The two of them put down their things. Before leaving the cubicle, she reminded Ji Yue, "Put your valuables in a safe place."
If she encountered something like last time again, she would really want to curse.
"I understand. Let's go." Ji Yue said.
The two walked to the dining car and ordered two dishes at random. The taste was okay. Neither of them was a picky eater, so they finished their meal in no time and filled their stomachs.
When they returned to the compartment, there was a new passenger opposite them, a woman who looked to be in her twenties or thirties. She looked rather plain and perhaps it was her first time riding in this type of sleeper berth, so she looked a little restrained.
"Hello." They were in the same compartment, and the train still had many hours to go, so they would see each other sooner or later. Su Qingyun and Ji Yue greeted each other politely.
"Hello... hello." The woman looked a little nervous.
Su Qingyun and Ji Yue nodded without saying anything more.
But after a while, the woman felt bored and couldn't help but speak, "Are you two going to the provincial capital too?"
Ji Yue glanced at her and said, "This bus only goes to the provincial capital." There are no stops along the way, so where else can they go if not to the provincial capital?
"That's right." The woman smiled awkwardly, then asked, "Are you familiar with the provincial capital?"
"Not familiar." Ji Yue said concisely.
"Is that so?" The woman frowned in distress. "That's going to be difficult."
Su Qingyun took a look at the luggage beside her. It was a military green bag with a five-pointed star on it. It looked like something used in the army.
She asked, "Sister, are you going to the army in the provincial capital?"
"Yes, yes, how did you know?" the woman's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly.
"I think your bag is for military use." Su Qingyun said with a smile.
The woman smiled shyly, "My husband is in the army, and I'm going to see him this time."
Before Su Qingyun could continue to ask, the woman spilled the beans like a bamboo tube pouring out beans, "We have been married for several years, and he has come back twice. This time he was promoted to company rank, and I can finally join the army. So this time I went to look for him, but I am not familiar with the provincial capital, and I don't know many words. I am afraid I will go to the wrong place."
When she talked about her lover who was a soldier, the smile on her face was one of pride.
Company-level cadre? Su Qingyun was a little surprised, "How many years has your husband been in the army?" The woman looked so young, and her husband was already a company-level cadre?
"More than ten years ago. He joined the army when he was in his teens."
More than ten years, no wonder, Su Qingyun nodded in understanding.
"Don't worry, this kind of army will usually send someone to pick you up at the train station, so you won't go to the wrong place." Su Qingyun told her not to worry.
"Really?" the woman exclaimed in surprise. "That's great. Thank you so much."
"It's okay."
The two chatted casually for a few more words, and then Su Qingyun and Ji Yue continued to discuss their tape recorder.
Seeing the two young boys and girls gathered together and discussing in a low voice, the woman felt that the scene was extremely pleasing to the eyes, and she couldn't help but say something.
"Girl, you and your boyfriend seem to have a really good relationship, just like me and my lover. Even though we met through a blind date and have only met a few times, we have a really good relationship. He writes to me and sends me things every now and then."
Object? Su Qingyun was stunned.
"Let me tell you, back then..."
The woman was still talking, but Ji Yue's face suddenly turned red, and the word "partner" was circling in his mind.
