The next morning, Zheng Jing got up early, went to the cafeteria to eat, and then took her things and waited at the gate of the educated youth compound according to the time agreed with Han Shuo.
Han Shuo didn't let Zheng Jing wait too long, and soon came over pushing a 28-inch bicycle.
Zheng Jing waved at him, walked over, and asked him curiously, "Squad Leader Han, whose car did you borrow?"
"Lieutenant Yang's." Han Shuo said, then pointed to the old hen tied to the pole in front and said, "Sister-in-law Qin asked us to bring this hen to Yun Qiaozhi. She said it's for Yun Qiaozhi's health. Don't forget to give it to her when we get to the family compound."
Zheng Yujing nodded: "Yes."
"Then let's go." Han Shuo said, "Let's go to the team's clinic to find Doctor Guan first."
Zheng Jing nodded.
When I went to the team’s clinic, Guan Ce was already waiting there.
He prepared a small pocket and stuffed it full.
Zheng Jing was surprised and said, "Is this all the stuff you want me to carry? This is too much. We only have one bike for the two of us. I don't think we can carry it all."
"Yes, yes. It's filled with cotton wool. It looks big, but it's actually not heavy at all. Just tie it to the handlebars and you're good to go."
Guan Ce originally wanted to tie it to the front bar, but there was already an old hen tied to the bar, so he tied it to the handlebars, which didn't make much difference anyway.
"We don't have anything valuable at home, but this little cotton quilt is something I can actually give away. Zheng Xizhi, please take it to the teacher so I can make a cotton-padded jacket for the child to wear in winter."
Purchasing cotton required cotton coupons, which were extremely rare, even more valuable than cloth coupons. Even in rural areas where cotton could be grown on private plots, cotton was a hard commodity to come by. After all, private plots also had to be used to grow melons and vegetables, so growing even a single crop of cotton over several years was a rare occurrence, and the harvest was likely to yield only a few pounds.
Zheng Jing didn't know what Yun Qiao would think, but she was touched.
Zheng Jing took the cotton ball and said, "Doctor Guan, you are so thoughtful."
Guan Ce smiled and said, "Not as good as what my teacher taught me."
Zheng Jing also laughed and praised her: "Doctor Guan, you are really good at talking."
"They are all sincere."
"It's late. You should set off quickly. The journey will take a long time." Guan Ce helped tie the cotton wool to the handlebars.
"Well, then
We're leaving."
After Zheng Yujing and Han Shuo said goodbye to Guan Ce, they rode their bicycles, left the team headquarters, and headed east along the road.
Along the way, Han Shuo first rode the bike to carry Zheng Jing, and when Han Shuo got tired of riding, Zheng Jing took over.
Due to their physiological structure, girls' physical strength and power can never compare with boys'.
Han Shuo could ride with Zheng Yujing for more than half an hour, while Zheng Yujing could only ride for ten minutes at most. Another ten minutes was enough for Han Shuo to recover and stop to rest before continuing on his way. After walking and stopping like this, the two finally arrived at the military base at around 11 o'clock in the morning.
In the past, He Tingjun would ride his bike to the Fifth Company to visit Yun Qiao every week. The journey took between one and a half and two hours. At that time, Zheng Yujing had heard Yun Qiao talk about it and thought that the military base was not too far away.
Only after she actually walked this road did she realize that it was not because the military base was close by, but because the soldiers had strong physical fitness and He Tingjun could ride his bike fast.
He Tingjun pedaled at full speed alone, thus shortening the journey by two hours. The two of them took turns carrying the other person, resting in between, so the total walking time was four hours.
Han Shuo had come to the family compound by bike last time, so after arriving at the base, he immediately took Zheng Yujing to the gate of the family compound.
After registering and verifying their identities, the guard standing guard at the door went to the broadcasting room to notify their families to pick them up. Zheng Jingjing and Han Shuo then stood in the sun, basking in the sun while waiting for someone to pick them up.
Not long after the announcement was made, Feng Juan came out to pick people up.
"Aunt Feng."
Through the iron gate, Zheng Jing waved at her happily.
Feng Juan trotted over and said, "Jing, I was wondering who was here. It turns out it's you."
She smiled and asked, "Why did you come here so suddenly? Aren't the guys in the company busy lately?"
Zheng Jing smiled and said, "Yun Qiao has given birth to a baby, and I will be the baby's godmother. No matter how busy I am, I will make time to visit my little girl."
"Oh, kid, you are really good at talking." Feng Juan was amused by Zheng Jing's words. She spoke to the guard at the gate through the iron gate. After confirming her identity, the guard opened the iron gate and let Zheng Jing in.
Han Rou hasn't come to pick him up yet, so Han Shuo can't go in for the time being.
Feng Juan found Han Shuo familiar, but couldn't quite remember his name. She asked Zheng Jing, "Who is this?"
Han Shuo said, "Auntie, my name is Han Shuo, and Han Rou is my sister."
"Oh." After Han Shuo said this, Feng Juan understood everything: "Your sister married Deputy Captain Xiong, right?"
Han Shuo nodded: "Yes. I came to see my sister, and I was traveling with Zheng Xiaozhi."
Feng Juan nodded: "Then come in with us."
Feng Juan turned to the guard at the gate and said, "I know this Han Zhizhi. He's my daughter's old friend and also the brother-in-law of Deputy Commander Xiong Xiangzhong. He's definitely a good person."
The guard shook his head: "No, relatives must come to pick him up in person before he can be released."
Han Shuo smiled and said, "It's okay. You guys go in first. I'll be here in a little while. My sister should be here soon."
Han Shuo untied the old hen and the bag of cotton wool hung on the front bar and handed them to Zheng Jing. "Can you carry these things? If not, I'll bring them to you later."
Zheng Jing nodded: "Aunt Feng and I are the only ones who can take care of it."
"I can carry it." Feng Juan also said, "Give me the hen and I'll carry it. And give me the bag too. Jing, you can just hold on to the bag in your hand."
After packing up her belongings, Feng Juan said to Han Shuo, "Han Zhizhi, let's go in first."
"Hey." Han Shuo nodded: "Goodbye."
Zheng Jing waved at him and said, "Goodbye, Squad Leader Han."
