Chapter 26
Meng Xuan got off the train, wearing a military uniform and carrying a simple bag in his hand, but his tall posture and handsome appearance attracted a lot of people's attention.
The more enthusiastic aunt approached him and started chatting with him, asking him whether he was going home or visiting relatives, how old he was, and whether he was married.
Although Meng Xuan has not yet married, he has already developed a perfect way to deal with this situation.
He spoke calmly to the ladies surrounding him.
"I'm here on a business trip. I've got a target. I need to catch the bad guys as soon as possible. Comrades, can you let me go?"
Several mothers: "..."
"Uh, okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, comrades in the army!"
After successfully escaping from the encirclement of several aunts, Meng Xuan quickened his pace and walked out of the train station.
In fact, most of the words he just said were lies, except for one sentence which was true, that is, he was on a business trip.
But this is not entirely true; it can be said to be half true and half false.
A business trip is indeed a business trip, but to some extent it can also be said to be a visit to relatives.
After all, it just so happened that the place he was on a business trip and visiting relatives was the same place, which was the Nanjiao Brigade.
According to the address given, Meng Xuan started from the train station in the city, traveled for several hours, passed through the county town, town, commune, and finally arrived at the Nanjiao Brigade.
However, as he walked along, his expression became increasingly stern, and the worry between his brows grew more and more intense.
He had been in the army for many years and had suffered a lot, and was accustomed to all kinds of harsh conditions. However, this did not mean that a little girl who had been spoiled since childhood and had never even touched a broom could get used to it.
When Meng Xuan thought about his own sister Meng Yinyin coming to such a place to work in the countryside, he felt indescribably complicated.
It's not that I look down on this kind of place, I just simply feel that my own sister Meng Yinyin can't adapt to this place.
Counting the days, she has been here for about a month. I wonder how that girl has been spending this month.
The sun is so strong here and the conditions don't look very good. Could it be that she has been tanned into a black coal ball and become as thin as a bamboo pole?
Meng Xuan's worries grew as he got closer to the Nanjiao Brigade.
Finally, the area of the Nanjiao Brigade appeared in Meng Xuan's eyes.
He arrived in the afternoon, when everyone had just finished their lunch break and were getting ready to go back to work.
Dressed in a military green uniform and with a strange face, Meng Xuan became the focus of everyone's attention the moment he appeared in front of everyone.
Meng Xuan remained calm, as if he saw nothing, and directly asked the male comrade who was closest to him.
"Comrade, do you know where Meng Yinyin is?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, but reacted quickly, then looked carefully at Meng Xuan's appearance. At first glance, he found that this military comrade was indeed somewhat similar to Meng Yinyin.
This is definitely a relative!
Everyone noticed this and felt a surge of emotion in their hearts.
I didn't expect that Meng Yinyin actually has a relative who is a soldier. It seems that their family situation might be better than everyone imagined.
The man being questioned came to his senses and quickly pointed the direction of Lu Chen's house to Meng Xuan.
This morning, Meng Yinyin carried her luggage into Lu Chen's house. After a whole morning of fermentation, almost everyone in the team now knew that Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen were living together.
So at this moment, that person could only point him in the direction of Lu Chen's house.
Meng Xuan silently noted the place the man pointed to, and then asked another question.
"Then do you know where Comrade Lu Chen lives?"
As a result, he didn't know whether he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked. After Meng Xuan asked this question, the looks of everyone around him turned subtle and strange.
Meng Xuan frowned.
What's happening?
Could it be that everyone knows that Comrade Lu Chen’s property and supplies were stolen?
Meng Xuan's expression suddenly became more serious.
That's right, he came to visit his younger sister Meng Yinyin this time, and he went on a business trip to investigate the sinking of military dependents.
Originally, the organization had not yet decided who to send to investigate the matter, but it happened that Meng Xuan was going to the same place to visit his relatives, so the task fell directly on him.
Fortunately, this way, Meng Xuan could have a few more days of vacation, so he accepted it so readily and did not think it was a complicated matter.
It was only at this moment, looking at everyone's strange looks, that he began to wonder if he had thought things were too simple before.
But what he didn't know was that the reason why everyone looked at them like that was not because of Lu Chen, but simply because from Meng Xuan's tone, it seemed that he didn't know that Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen were together.
Otherwise, why would he ask Lu Chen alone? Just now, they showed Meng Xuan where Meng Yinyin was, and they thought Meng Xuan knew about Meng Yinyin's boyfriend, so he came to check on her on behalf of her family.
And he didn't even know about this!
"Fellow countryman?"
Seeing Meng Xuan asking again, the local member could only speak hesitantly.
"Uh, right there, right at the place I just told you about."
When Meng Xuan heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
What does this mean?
His sister and the man named Lu Chen lived in the same place? Could it be that Lu Chen had been targeted so badly by his uncle that he had no home and had to live in a youth education center?
In Meng Xuan's view, his sister came to the countryside as an educated youth, so it was natural for her to live in a youth settlement. That's why he didn't ask specifically where the youth settlement was just now, because he knew that the place others told him must be the youth settlement.
He never thought that Wuyong would live anywhere other than the educated youth center.
After hearing what the local members said, he asked in confusion.
"Then why did Lu Chen end up living in the educated youth camp?"
The rest: “…….”
Looked at each other.
How do you expect them to respond when you say this!!!
Is this question difficult to answer? Or is it because it is not convenient to answer?
Seeing that everyone seemed reluctant to speak, Meng Xuan finally stopped asking. He just said thank you and walked directly to the place the member had pointed to.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't answer, he can just go and find out the truth.
Seeing Meng Xuan walking towards Lu Chen's house with his long legs, everyone's eyes followed him unconsciously, and at the same time, they also thought that there must be something exciting at the Lu family now.
After all, looking at Meng Xuan's expression, I'm afraid he knows nothing about Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen. I wonder how he will react when he sees Meng Yinyin and Lu Chen getting together.
Oh, I really want to go and see it, but unfortunately I have to go to work!
Everyone was thinking about this while they hurried to the field.
Meng Xuan was curious, so he walked quickly and soon arrived at Lu Chen's door.
Of course, when I arrived at Lu Chen's house, I couldn't help but take a look at Lu Dashan's house next door.
It is a bit surprising that such a small place can have such a yard.
He quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the old house in front of him.
The house is okay. The key is that it is spacious and has several rooms, so it should be able to accommodate a group of educated youth.
But soon, Meng Xuan discovered that this yard did not seem to be inhabited by a group of people, because there was no sign of group living.
Why, are there only a few educated youth in this brigade?
Just when Meng Xuan was about to call for help, he saw Lu Chen coming out of the room, packed up and ready to go to work.
However, before going to work, he planned to go to Meng Yinyin's door and ask her what she wanted to eat in the afternoon. He happened to be going to the mountains, so he could bring something back for her.
As a result, as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a strange soldier standing outside his yard?
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted and walked quickly towards the person outside the door.
He remembered the letter he received a few days ago, which said that someone would be sent to investigate the matter of his father's relics. So the military comrade who suddenly appeared at his doorstep should be the person sent by the army to investigate this matter!
Lu Chen was not used to showing his joy on his face, but his hurried footsteps at this moment inadvertently revealed his anxious mood.
He didn't expect the troops to arrive so quickly, so will what happened to his father be revealed soon?
When Lu Chen walked towards the door, Meng Xuan was also squinting his eyes, looking at Lu Chen calmly.
Judging from Lu Chen's attire, Meng Xuan would think that he was a local member, but judging from his appearance and demeanor, he did not look like an ordinary member.
So for a moment he really couldn't tell who this person was.
Fortunately, the next moment, Lu Chen walked up to him, opened the gate, and introduced himself. Then he realized that he was one of the people he was looking for, Lu Chen.
"Hello, comrade. I am Lu Chen."
With just such a simple sentence, he revealed his identity, and then Lu Chen looked at him quietly, as if waiting for Meng Xuan's explanation.
Meng Xuan had learned something about Lu Chen's affairs from the army leaders. He knew that Comrade Lu Chen was not having a good time in his hometown. However, since he had thought of asking them for help, he must not be a fool.
Now that he had met him, he was indeed as he had guessed, even better than he had guessed, neither humble nor arrogant, but calm and composed.
At least this face looks handsome.
Meng Xuanchong nodded to him and revealed his identity.
"Comrade Lu Chen, I'm Meng Xuan, a special commissioner sent by the organization to investigate the truth of what happened back then. Hello, nice to meet you."
As he spoke, Meng Xuan extended his hand towards Lu Chen.
Although Lu Chen was not used to contacting strangers, he knew very well that the other party was there to help him, and the other party was also an excellent and respectable PLA soldier, so he naturally would not resist.
So he quickly reached out and shook Meng Xuan's hand.
Two men of similar height and build stood at the door and greeted each other.
After a brief introduction, Meng Xuan finally asked the question he was curious about.
That naturally made him wonder why Lu Chen came to live at the educated youth camp. Was his house also occupied by that uncle?
But before he could even ask his question, the creaking sound of a door opening was heard.
As soon as he looked towards the place where the sound came from, he found that Lu Chen in front of him was moving faster than him.
The two men turned their heads at the same time and looked at the door that was slowly opening.
Then I saw Meng Yinyin walking out, stretching and yawning.
Meng Yinyin had just had a full nap. Her little face was red and there were sleep marks on her white cheeks. It was obvious that she had a good sleep.
After yawning, she finally opened her eyes, and recalling the sound of Lu Chen talking to someone, she looked towards the door.
As a result, when he looked up, he saw two men looking at him, one of whom was naturally Lu Chen.
As for the other one...
Meng Yinyin's eyes suddenly widened, as if in disbelief, and she rubbed her eyes before she cried out in surprise.
"elder brother!"
The word "brother" finally brought a smile to Meng Xuan's face.
It also succeeded in causing Lu next to him to sink, and the whole person was successfully frozen in place.
elder brother……?
This is her brother?
At this moment, Lu Chen was so shocked by the sudden news that he couldn't recover.
On the other side, Meng Yinyin saw her brother who had not appeared for a long time, and she ran over here with her arms open, and then rushed towards Meng Xuan.
"Brother, you're finally here. I've missed you so much!"
Meng Xuan was naturally relieved and assured in his heart, but since there were other people around, he was not used to being treated like this by others, so he could only pretend to be disgusted and said to Meng Yinyin.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and get out of here. Don't you see there are outsiders here?"
After saying that, he grabbed Meng Yinyin's collar and pulled her out of his arms. Meng Yinyin stood beside him reluctantly, complaining unhappily.
"There are no outsiders here!"
How could she not see Lu Chen, who was so big? She had only been in the countryside for a month, so there was no reason why she would have problems with her eyes, right?
Meng Xuan glanced at her indifferently. He was too embarrassed to point him out in front of Lu Chen, so he just asked casually.
"Are there only two of you in this educated youth camp? Where are the other educated youth?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, Meng Yinyin, who had narrowed her eyes and showed a bright smile in the last second, suddenly froze in expression.
Her expression changed so obviously, how could Meng Xuan not see it.
And as her biological brother, he should not know Meng Yinyin too well. Once she shows such an expression, it means that she is hiding something from him, and it is a big thing.
Thinking of this, Meng Xuan's face immediately darkened.
"Meng Yinyin, you are hiding something from me."
It is a very affirmative tone.
