Xiao Jiahua sat in the berth and when he looked up, he saw Qi Keyan still standing straight outside the window.
His military posture was upright, like a pine tree, standing alone among the crowd, calm and timeless.
It seemed that at any time, as long as she was willing to look back, he would stand behind her.
There are still three minutes before the train officially departs.
Xiao Jiahua deliberately avoided looking at him.
She took the initiative to take out the dried meat and snacks that Qi Keyan had sent her and shared them with Tong Qifang and the passengers who were staying in the same shop.
Suddenly, she took out a bulging envelope from her luggage bag.
Once it was opened, bits and pieces of food stamps and banknotes fell out, and there were even a few 2- and 5-cent coins...
Although the money is not much, 䥍䲾克言 must have saved it for a long time.
This idiot was afraid that she would not accept it, so he secretly stuffed it into her bag last night.
The wheels began to rumble, and Xiao Jiahua felt a little sore in her nose. She suddenly stuck her head out and waved vigorously at the man outside.
"Goodbye, Qi Keyan..."
Qi Keyan was stunned at first, with a look of worry on his face. He then smiled and saluted her firmly.
Their figures, in each other's eyes, moved farther and farther away until they could no longer be seen.
.
After another day and night of trekking, Xiao Jiahua and Tong Qifang finally arrived at Ke City in the southern border.
However, their final destination is not here, but Ti County, a large cotton-producing county under the jurisdiction of Ke City.
There is no direct train from Ke City to Ti County, so you can only take intercity bus.
After leaving the train station, the two female comrades began to worry about what to do with all the luggage.
I asked the locals for directions, but they spoke in Uyghur, which was hard to understand. It was completely different from what I was saying.
There are differences in language and customs. Xiao Jiahua finally understood why the company had not been optimistic about their business trip before.
At this time, two male comrades wearing Type 65 military uniforms walked up to Xiao Jiahua, one in front and one behind.
The leading soldier was a little older, in his forties, of Han appearance, wearing glasses, and looked gentle and kind.
The soldier following behind him was very light, with muscular body and dark cheeks, obviously the result of daily training.
The older woman saluted and asked, "Hello, are you Comrade Xiao Jiahua, the wife of Xiao Keyan?"
People with the surname Lao have a natural trust in people wearing military uniforms, and Xiao Jiahua is no exception.
She answered honestly, "Uh, I am."
"Great, I finally got you guys."
"We are from the Frontier Production and Construction Corps. My name is Guan Shan, and I am the guard of Chief Wei."
Guan Shan smiled and said, "You are Ke Yan's wife, which means you are Chief Yu's niece's wife! We are all family, just like Ke Yan, you can call me Uncle Guan."
"You said... Chief Qi?" Xiao Jiahua was shocked.
She quickly realized that since his last name was Qi and he was assigned to the Construction Corps, he could only be Qi Keyan's uncle - Qi Heping.
Unexpectedly, this uncle is just like the aunt, whom I have only heard of but never seen. They are truly a couple.
Guan Shan added: "Yesterday morning, Chief Qi was overjoyed when he heard that you were coming to the border. He specially arranged for us to wait at the train station and take you to Ti County!"
This is such a sudden surprise.
No wonder Qi Keyan only told her how to protect herself on the train, but didn't worry about what might happen to her after she arrived at the border. It turned out that he had already made clear arrangements for her.
