After lunch, they each made excuses to go into the woods to relieve themselves.
We'll set off immediately after we get back, and we should arrive around 2 PM.
Because trucks dare not drive too fast, partly because the roads are bad and they are worried that they might accidentally drive into a ravine. Yes, the roads are really that bad these days.
Another thing is what happened later. Over the course of the meal, I got to know the driver better, and he felt bad about speeding up without regard for the consequences. After all, he felt obligated to pay for my meal, so he gradually slowed down.
Tang Baozhu and Feng Yi felt bad for making him drive so slowly, as they would be traveling at night on the way back, which would be dangerous. So they told him he could drive a little faster, and that the things in the back were all tied up well.
Finally, when we were supposed to arrive at the military base at 2 PM, we arrived at 1:30 PM. That means that after having lunch and getting on the bus, we arrived at our destination in less than an hour.
All vehicles entering the military base are subject to inspection, but they are only allowed to pass after being checked by the guards stationed outside.
It was also because he saw his acquaintance, Deputy Battalion Commander Feng, and knew that Deputy Battalion Commander Feng had gone back on leave to get married. He had brought so many things with him, so it was obvious that he had brought his wife to accompany him to the military base.
They trusted their own people, so after a quick check and confirming there were no problems, they let them through.
Tang Baozhu saw the truck drive past the dormitory building where Feng Yi had initially lived, and continue walking in. After walking for about five minutes, she saw a mud-brick house with a yard.
Tang Baozhu originally thought they had arrived and that this house would be where they would live from now on, but unexpectedly Feng Yi did not stop at all and directly told the driver to continue driving forward.
Next, we saw that the adobe houses became more and more densely packed, with an adobe house with a yard about every 500 meters.
Moreover, she noticed that the houses were built according to the terrain, mostly on the mountainside, as if they were built on a flatter spot and then a house was built there.
The houses are very uneven; some are only ten meters away from the road, while others are hundreds of meters away.
Tang Baozhu felt that she was right. It was definitely true that when they were building houses, they would build a house for the family members wherever they saw a relatively flat spot.
After all, if we were to build it in a unified manner, we might have to dig up the mountain, which would add a lot of work. This is much better, as it reduces a lot of work.
Tang Baozhu was quite satisfied to see that the houses were spaced so far apart. For someone like her who prefers to stay at home, visiting other people's houses was a very troublesome thing.
She feels that being too close to her neighbors puts a lot of pressure on her. She feels that apart from being close to her husband, she should keep a certain distance from everyone else, because the more familiar two people become, the less tactful they become.
After nearly ten minutes of driving, the truck still hadn't stopped, and Tang Baozhu started to get anxious.
After all, they live so far away. If Feng Yi has to go to the army base for morning exercises every day, wouldn't that be very rushed?
For some reason, Tang Baozhu felt a little sorry for Feng Yi at this moment, but it was his choice, he liked this career, and she supported him.
The truck finally stopped after less than a minute. It would take about 11 minutes to drive from the single dormitory to the residence, and even though the truck wasn't going very fast, it would still take at least 15 minutes to walk there.
For soldiers, those 15 minutes might just be a short run, and they might not even care.
"Honey, you can get off the bus now. Do you see that house halfway up the mountain? That's the housing I applied for. Don't worry, all the houses are new. There aren't many military wives living here, so most of the houses are new. You can choose whichever you like."
Tang Baozhu got off the truck and glanced at the houses on the hillside opposite. To get to the houses, besides the road built by the soldiers, which was wide enough for trucks, there was a stream in the middle. There were some wastelands along the stream, some planted with things and some still lying fallow. There was a small path on the edge of the wastelands. About 50 meters up the path, there was a house.
The walls are quite high, meaning all the housing in the residential area is built on the mountain. Although it's generous to have one house per family, I feel there's always a risk in building houses in the mountains.
"Why did you choose such a far-away place for the house? Aren't there any houses nearby?"
Tang Baozhu wasn't asking for an explanation; she was just curious and wanted to know what he was thinking.
“Most of the houses in front have already been chosen. I also participated in the construction of the family houses here. I chose this house because there is a bamboo forest not far from it. I was worried that you would be afraid of the heat in the summer. After all, you have never suffered much hardship. I thought that it would be cooler by the bamboo forest in the summer, and the breeze would be very comfortable. So I chose this place.”
Tang Baozhu was still somewhat moved. Although Feng Yi had originally liked the young girl, now that she had received this kindness, she should be grateful and treat this devoted man well for the rest of her life.
"Brother Yi, won't you be late for morning exercises? After all, the distance is too far."
Feng Yi was quite pleased with his wife's concern. "Don't worry about me. I can just get up earlier and go for a run. For someone like me, running for ten minutes or so is a piece of cake. As long as you're comfortable, that's all that matters."
"Brother Yi, you're so kind."
"I just want to be good to you forever, so good that you can't live without me anymore, and that will make me happy."
Upon hearing this, Tang Baozhu knew that Feng Yi still had a knot in his heart. He was somewhat anxious about the young girl marrying the landlord Yang, fearing that the young girl might leave him again at any time.
Tang Baozhu felt that he was probably too in love, so much so that even though his wife had married someone else, he still liked her very much. He was just worried that he would not be able to keep her again, so he wanted to treat her very well, so well that the girl would be willing to live a stable life with him.
Tang Baozhu said he was overthinking things. As a mission taker, he wasn't planning on provoking anyone here or there. He was already causing enough trouble on his own.
Feng Yi just didn't know that, but time will tell; he was just too insecure.
"Brother Yi, don't worry, I will never leave you. But now is not the time to talk about this. Let's hurry up and unload the things from the car so as not to delay the driver from getting back."
