The next morning, Lan Guoer and Mr. Su, accompanied by a group of entourage, boarded the train to Hohhot as scheduled.
Nowadays, Lan Guoer is very familiar with and adapted to the green trains of this era.
Looking at the scenery speeding past outside the car window, Mr. Su could not hide his excitement on his face along the way.
Whenever he walked to the place where the old man had marched in the past, he would sigh from time to time!
"These places have changed so much since they were back then! If I don't come out and take a look, I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize them anymore."
Lan Guoer would occasionally compare the present situation with the future in her mind.
Obviously, the natural scenery, purity and cleanliness presented in this era are completely incomparable to the over-commercialized scenic spots in later generations.
At this time, there are no endless stream of tourists, no noisy crowds, no tickets required, and no various commercial activities for profit.
Although many places are not as exquisite as those carefully carved in later generations, they still have the natural charm that is unique to nature.
Along the way, the train climbed over mountains and crossed clear streams, passed through lush forests, and passed by cornfields and sorghum fields under the clear blue sky...
Also, because transportation nowadays is not as convenient as it is in later generations, they had to transfer trains and lines along the way, and experienced several different means of transportation.
Finally, we arrived in Hailar in the afternoon of the third day.
"Old Chief, I'm so glad to see you!"
As soon as the group got off the car, they saw a man in Mongolian clothes rushing towards them.
"You...you are..." Old Master Su looked at him again and again, and finally hit him in the chest.
"Oh! It's really you! It's been at least twenty years, right? You're really patient! How come you didn't even give me a piece of news? You, you! What can I say about you?"
"Hehehe! Hehehehe!"
The man grinned, his teeth clenched, his posture straight, his face dazed and naive. The old man's punches were like hitting steel plates, not causing any reaction from him at all.
After a while, the old man was too lazy to waste his energy anymore! He patted his shoulder,
"You've worked out well! You look like you did twenty years ago!"
Come on, you're already well, why didn't you tell me? I was still thinking about you!"
"Hehehe!" The man laughed dryly twice, then immediately became serious and saluted.
"Report to the commander! Da Zi is wrong! Da Zi has made the commander worried! Please punish him!"
"Hmph! Slick talk! You're not as honest as before!" Old Master Su glanced at him and asked, "Are you the one sent by the higher-ups to receive an old man like me?"
"Report to the commander, this is exactly the mission that Da Zi received!"
Da Zi saluted again! His big white teeth were still showing. He was so happy that the old leader finally arrived!
I’m so happy that I don’t know what to say or do!
In fact, ever since he received the task, he has been imagining this scene and has secretly rehearsed it many times!
But when he really saw the old man, all the words and actions he had practiced before seemed to have escaped from his mind, and for a moment he could not remember anything.
I could only look at the old leader, standing there stupidly and laughing.
"Come on! Stop it! I just want to ask you, how do you arrange our schedule here? When will you take us to the prairie to go horseback riding and hunting?"
The old man said, pointing to Lan Guoer beside him, "My little granddaughter has been thinking about us all the way, I hope you won't spoil her fun!"
Lan Guoer: “…” Why did she suddenly feel something heavy behind her?
Who was it that had been mumbling all this time? And who was so excited? The blame was on... well, it was her youth and her juniority!
"This is Guo'er, right? She's so pretty. The commander is so lucky!"
Da Zi smiled and saluted Lan Guoer.
He had already learned about Lan Guoer's basic situation from the information sent from above.
Although he is only twenty years old, he has already reached the rank of colonel. He is an important person who needs special protection from his superiors. He is a top student of Peking University and a specially appointed doctor of the Military General Hospital.
When he saw this information, he was undoubtedly shocked! He even doubted its authenticity.
But how could there be any mistake in this information!
"Guo'er, this is the guard Dazi I mentioned to you before!" The old man introduced to Lan Guo'er.
"What's his full name, Hada... Bater! Yes, Hada Bater! Just call him Uncle Dazi.
Don't be fooled by this kid's quiet behavior now. He looks harmless. He caused me a lot of trouble back then! Your Grandpa Zhou and his regiment's grain reserves were almost destroyed because of this kid setting them on fire!
"Old Chief! Why are you exposing my shortcomings right after getting off the car?"
Da Zi, a man eight feet tall, was told by the old man that he had lost face.
"I saw you had a high fever for a few days, so I thought I'd give you some special treatment. Then I heard their regiment had just received supplies, so I sneaked in in the dark to get some meat to nourish you. Who would have thought... Anyway, you punished me by making me write a self-criticism! How could you bring up the past?"
They chatted as they walked, and in the meantime they arrived at the room prepared for them.
"Old Chief, you and my niece Guo'er will rest in the city guesthouse for one night. Tomorrow morning, we will set off for the grassland.
My parents, as well as my wife, have prepared a yurt for you two this morning and are looking forward to your coming over!"
