Chapter 40 Lost and Found
There was a military jeep parked outside the alley. He Tingjun had signed a loan agreement with the army in advance.
He was the company commander and had the opportunity to borrow a car from the army twice.
However, even though he could borrow the car, the army would not provide the gasoline needed to drive it out, so he had to pay for it himself. However, the coupons He Tingjun received every month included gasoline coupons, so he didn't lack them.
After getting in the car, He Tingjun took out a military coat from the back seat and handed it to her, motioning her to wrap it up: "There is no heating in the car, you can wear this to keep warm."
"Tuo."
Yun Qiao was indeed a little cold, so he obediently put on his military coat and wrapped himself tightly.
In mid-October, the Great Northern Wilderness had already begun to freeze.
When she washed her face in the morning, the basin was full of ice chips.
He Tingjun handed her another hot water bottle and said, "It takes more than two hours to drive from the army to your uncle's Sanhe Camp. If you feel carsick, you can take a nap. You won't vomit if you sleep."
Yun Qiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Then I'll take a nap. Call me when we get there."
He Tingjun looked at the little girl, whose body was tightly wrapped in his loose military coat, with only her round little head sticking out. She huddled up like a shivering little quail, pitiful yet adorable.
A smile flashed across his deep black eyes: "Go to sleep. I'll call you when we get there."
The jeep slowly started up and drove into the wilderness. As the car swayed, Yun Qiao closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, the jeep had stopped outside a village.
"Are we there yet?" Yun Qiao looked out the window.
He Tingjun said 'hmm': "Get out of the car."
Yun Qiao took off his military coat and got out of the car, only to find that the village was located halfway up a low mountain.
Although it is called a village, there are actually not many households in total. As far as the eye can see, there is not even a brick house, only low earthen houses.
The road beneath my feet was also muddy and muddy, with bits of ice still on the side from the previous day's snow. On either side of the road were trees, tall and numerous, stretching as far as the eye could see.
He Tingjun parked the car at the entrance of the village. Because the road into the village was very narrow and the jeep could not drive in, He Tingjun always parked the car outside the village every time he came.
After getting out of the car, He Tingjun carried her belongings and walked into the village with ease. Yun Qiao followed behind her, slipping and falling. Finally, the two of them stopped outside a fenced yard.
It's called a fenced yard, but in fact it's just an open space enclosed by branches, without even a door.
There was only one mud house in the courtyard, with three main rooms facing north and south. There was a thatched shed against the west wall with a stove in it, which was a simple kitchen.
Only a half-meter-wide path was left in the yard, and the rest of the space was turned into a vegetable garden, where frost-resistant vegetables were planted, creating a large and lush green area.
There is also a hawthorn tree planted in the southwest corner of the yard, and now there are a few red fruits hanging on it.
He Tingjun introduced Yun Qiao: "Your uncle and his family live here."
Then he called out, "Brother Yuanzhang? Sister-in-law? Is anyone home?"
Yun Qiao hummed, feeling a little sad, but mostly relieved.
Fortunately, my uncle's family is living a decent life now, and they are not like other people who were sent down to the countryside and have to live in a cowshed.
