"Comrade Wei, there's a package for you!"
Wei Ci was so cold that she kept stamping her feet. When she heard the guard, Uncle Zhou, calling her, she stopped her bike and ran quickly to the guard room.
"Just sign and take it. Can you carry it by yourself? This package is quite large and seems to be quite heavy."
Uncle Zhou looked at Wei Ci's thin arms and legs, and then at the package that was almost as tall as her, and felt really sorry for the little girl.
At first Wei Ci didn't care, but after she signed and turned around, she was stunned.
"Why two?"
You can tell from its size that it is not light, and it is very bulging and impressive.
Seeing that her expression finally changed, Uncle Zhou laughed happily, stopped laughing at the little girl, and stretched his neck to shout outside.
"Xiao Zhao! Help Comrade Wei return the package!"
Wei Ci quickly waved her hand to refuse.
"No, no, Uncle Zhou, it's inconvenient. I'm quite strong and can carry it back by myself."
What a joke! If she really let a young man help her send the things back, there would be rumors the next day that she was unfaithful and had promiscuous relationships. She had seen this many times, so naturally she had learned her lesson.
Uncle Zhou spat out the tea leaves in his mouth and nodded with a smile.
"Okay, then you can take it back by yourself. I'll ask Xiao Zhao to help you tie the package to the car seat."
Xiao Zhao, wearing a military coat, silently secured the package to the front bumper and back seat of the car. He glanced at Wei Ci, nodded, turned around and left quickly.
After saying goodbye to Uncle Zhou, Wei Ci put on his hat and scarf again, put on his gloves, and got on his bicycle. Although his posture was strange, his speed was not slow. He rode far away in a short while.
"What a nice girl, it's a pity that she's already taken. Look at you, can you change your temper that makes you say nothing even if you hit her with three sticks? You're already an adult, but you're still single. There are so many young girls in the pharmaceutical factory. If you had a little bit of talk, you wouldn't be warming the bed alone in the middle of winter."
Uncle Zhou was so disappointed with his apprentice that he glared at him and was worried about his apprentice's life.
The burly Xiao Zhao lowered his head silently to hide the expression in his eyes, but still couldn't reply a word for a long time. Uncle Zhou was so angry that he had a heart attack and turned his head away and ignored him.
When Wei Ci returned home, the floor heating had been turned on, the kang was warm, and the aroma of food wafted into the air.
As soon as she entered the door, Wei Ci shivered when the air conditioning met the heating.
"Hey, another package? Who sent it? Is it your boyfriend?"
Look at the guy he's dating. He sends packages twice a month without fail.
Wei Kai was surprised. It seemed like he had already received two packages this month. Another package arrived.
Wei Ci shook her head. It shouldn’t be the address. It’s not where Big Brother Gu Zhan’s troops are. It looks a bit unfamiliar.
"I'm not sure. One was sent from Xinjiang, and the other was sent from Beijing."
Wei Ci thought for a long time but couldn't figure out whether she had any relatives or friends there.
The package sent from Xinjiang was filled with packages of almonds, raisins, yogurt cubes, dried figs, red dates, dried apricots, walnuts and the like.
"Wow, they're all food, and they're all local snacks. Do you know who sent them?"
Wei Ci took out the note from the milk powder bag and read the contents on it. Only then did her frown relax.
"Second Brother Gu Zhan sent it."
Wei Kai paused as he unpacked the package.
"Isn't your partner an only child?"
Wei Ci shook her head: "Of course not, he has two older brothers, seemingly born to his father and his ex-wife, and they have a pretty good relationship."
The two brothers were older than Gu Zhan, and the eldest brother's son was only a few years younger than Gu Zhan, about the same age as her.
As for his second brother, Gu Zhan was very silent about his second brother and seldom talked about him. Wei Ci only knew that he was also a soldier and had not yet married and was guarding the border in the snow-capped mountains.
"So this guy from the capital is his elder brother?"
Wei Ci shook her head, glanced at the thick letter, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"No, it was sent by his biological father."
From the tone of the letter where the daughter-in-law is called, I know who sent the gift.
Wei Kai was amazed.
"Your partner has announced your affair to the whole world, right?"
"Shouldn't it be?"
Wei Kai coughed uncomfortably. If it were him, he might not do that, as it seemed too high-profile.
"When will my second brother come back?"
Wei Ci misses her second brother.
Wei Kai and Wei Qiang looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
"I haven't heard from them yet, but my father sent me a message saying that my great-uncle has gone on the ship and is ready to pick them up at any time."
Wei Qiang has always been erratic, but this time he rarely spoke softly to comfort Wei Ci.
Wei Kai also nodded, and while talking, he punched the walnut hard, making a cracking sound. When he released his palm, the hard walnut had broken into several pieces, revealing the intact peach flesh.
"Don't worry, Ah Ci. No news is the best news. You have to trust Qingfeng. With his cleverness and skills, ordinary people can't give him any trouble."
Wei Ci was still worried. She didn't know how her second brother and the others were doing. It was almost Chinese New Year. Would they be able to come back before the New Year? Her eldest brother should have received her letter. He would be furious when he knew what her second brother had done.
★
Wei Qingshan was not furious, he was almost angry to death.
"That little bastard! I'm going to hang him up and whip him when I get back!"
In the training ground, Wei Qingshan gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger, venting his inner anger with the sound of bullets firing again and again.
He doesn't even consider his own abilities, but dares to take on so much responsibility. If something really happens, who can help him?
Gu Zhan, with his left hand buckled around his belt and his right hand holding a black pistol, stood aside and silently stared at Wei Qingshan's actions.
He didn't speak until he heard the empty sound of "click".
"Calm down?"
Wei Qingshan put away his gun dejectedly, took off his hat and shaved his short hair, his brows knotted with worry.
"That Qingfeng brat is too bold. Does he really think he can escape from there unscathed with his mediocre skills? Even if it were us, we wouldn't be able to escape unscathed."
Gu Zhan's hands moved so fast that they became afterimages. He quickly disassembled and reassembled a pistol. His fingers were well-defined, slender and powerful, and the whole set of movements seemed as graceful as dancing.
"Don't worry. We might be targeted if we go, but Qingfeng might not be the same. He is smart, clever and brave. Someone else might not be as effective as him. Besides, there are people protecting them in secret. They won't let him get into trouble and will definitely bring them back safely."
They are soldiers, and no matter how well they hide it, their every move can be seen. Qingfeng and the others are different. They grew up in the mountains and have a wild and unruly nature. As long as they are careful, they will not trigger those people's sensitive nerves.
According to the information he had gathered, those old men had held high positions in the military before, and after retiring and returning to their hometown to enjoy their retirement, they hid their aura very well. Besides, there were people around them who were secretly protecting them.
