Chapter 43 A Bright Future
Yun Qiao stayed in Sanhe Camp for the whole morning and did not leave until after lunch.
Her uncle Ye Yuanzhang and aunt Li Baiqiu reluctantly sent her to the village entrance and told her to come again when she had time, and they would also find a chance to visit her in the Corps.
Her cousins were reluctant to let her go. Her cousin Corning even gave her her favorite necklace and asked her to come when she had time.
The necklace was not a valuable item. It was made of beads that Ye Yuanzhang had polished himself while felling trees. He also carved Corning's zodiac sign, a little tiger, on it with a chisel, which showed his deepest love.
Yun Qiao knew that he would never take someone else's love away. He just touched her hair and told her that he would come back when he had time, so she could rest assured.
After leaving Sanheying, He Tingjun drove her to the headquarters of the Third Regiment.
He Tingjun had said before that the headquarters of the Third Regiment was far away from the Sanhe Camp. When I actually went there today, I found that this was true.
Even the jeep took more than an hour to get to the destination. If you walk, you will probably have to walk from morning to noon.
When he arrived at the Youth League headquarters, Yun Qiao first went to see the cadres of the Youth League Office to complete the acceptance procedures, and then asked her how to arrange for him.
The cadre from the Youth League Office said, "The main group of you educated youth won't arrive until tomorrow. You're early. Right now, there's no one from the Fifth Company to meet you, and we don't have any extra staff here at the regimental headquarters to take you to the company. You'll either stay the night at the regimental headquarters guesthouse or go on your own."
"It's okay. Someone's taking me there. I can go by myself." Yun Qiao asked her, "Where is the Fifth Company? Is it far from the regimental headquarters?"
"You have someone to send you off, that's a great gift."
The clerk was happy. After all, the regiment's guesthouse was not very spacious. If Yun Qiao wanted to stay tonight, she would have to ask the leader for approval.
It's amazing that Yun Qiao could get there by himself.
"I'm telling you, the Fifth Company has been found. It's not far from our regimental headquarters. Go west out of the regimental headquarters gate. After three or four miles, you'll come to a crossroads. Don't go any further. Turn south, pass the village, and walk another two miles until you're there."
"Thank you very much."
After leaving the regiment headquarters, He Tingjun took her to the fifth company according to the route given by the clerk.
The fifth company was indeed not far from the regimental headquarters, and the jeep arrived at the destination in less than ten minutes.
The fifth company's camp was built at the foot of a low hill, with a mountain behind it and a winding river in front of it. Although it was winter and everything was withered, the scenery was still beautiful.
The Fifth Company is called a camp, but it is actually similar to a small village. However, the housing conditions are not as good as those of a real village.
His uncle could still live in a mud house in Sanheying, but here most of the houses were still thatched houses with only a few mud houses.
He Tingjun immediately parked the jeep in front of the gate of the fifth company's brigade headquarters. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and almost all the educated youth had gone to work. Only a cook from the cafeteria was left at the headquarters.
He poured a cup of hot water for He Tingjun and Yun Qiao to warm them up, and then introduced himself as Zhang Hui, a cook in the kitchen team.
When he heard that Yun Qiao was a newly arrived educated youth, he volunteered to help Yun Qiao find the company commander.
Yun Qiao couldn't stop shouting from behind.
He Tingjun said he would accompany him to wait for the company commander to come, but Yun Qiao refused: "Brother He, I went to the countryside, and I made you run around with me. I am really sorry to have troubled you so much these days. Now that you have sent me to the place, I will not waste your time any more. You just finished your vacation, and I am sure you have a lot of things to do. You should go back early."
"No, I'm not busy. Besides, I've been here all day, so I don't mind waiting a few more hours."
Since He Tingjun said so, Yun Qiao didn't bother to persuade him anymore.
