Chapter 433 Visiting Relatives
Wei Yang was transferred to the 18th Regiment.
The 18th Regiment is located northwest of the 16th Regiment, and is much farther from Baishui City than the 16th Regiment; it takes two hours to reach by tractor.
Wei Yang first went to the 18th Regiment to get a general idea of the situation.
The headquarters of the 18th Regiment was larger than that of the 16th Regiment, but there were only mud-brick houses scattered around, with not many brick houses.
However, the 18th Regiment's armed forces department was a brick building, which could free up two rooms for his family.
Song Lubai was busy helping Wei Zhao move, and also moved her own belongings to the city first. Since there was not much furniture, it was all loaded onto the donkey cart in one trip.
Wei Zhao did not go to the 18th Regiment with Song Lubai's family, but Wei Yang used his connections to get Wei Zhao into the division headquarters.
The division headquarters is in the city, where Chen Shaohua is currently attending junior high school. In another year, Chen Jingwen will also be attending junior high school. It's more convenient for Wei Zhao to work in the city, and Song Lubai and the others can also visit her when they come to the city, which is more convenient than in the 16th Regiment.
Song Lubai sold everything she could from her home, and gave away many old clothes with patches. She took the radio to Wei Zhaoxin's house, and by the time she left, the house was empty.
Having only been a team leader for less than a year, Song Lubai was somewhat reluctant to leave the food workshop.
She gave the key to Deng Hong, and as she left the hospital, her mind was filled with images of when she first arrived at the Sixteenth Regiment.
Back then, there wasn't a single decent road in the entire regimental headquarters. If you went out, your trouser legs would definitely be covered in dust.
A few years later, the main road of the regiment was paved, and walking on it no longer stirred up as much dust.
On the threshold, Zhao Dongmei sat holding her child, her face blank.
Feng Xiaolong stood in the courtyard, grumbling incessantly.
After Zhao Dongmei went to the hospital for a checkup and was diagnosed with a tumor in her chest and told she wouldn't live for more than a few years, she has been like this for most of her life since she came back.
She didn't know why her life was so miserable. She hadn't had a few good days, no, she hadn't even had a good day yet, and she was about to die.
She no longer cares what Feng Xiaolong says; she's just worried about who will take care of her child in the future.
Looking back, the easiest days of her life were actually when she was living at her parents' home before she got married.
But even when she was at her parents' home, her life wasn't exactly easy.
Song Lubai walked up to Feng Xiaolong and said, "It's really despicable for a grown man to grin and spout nonsense all day long."
Even though Song Lubai and her family were leaving, Feng Xiaolong didn't dare to act recklessly in front of her.
Feng Xiaolong remained silent. Song Lubai turned to Zhao Dongmei and said, "Liu Zhigao will be leaving the kindergarten soon. I'll tell Zhao Hongying. If you want to try to get him, go talk to her."
Song Lubai calculated the time in the dream, and although it wasn't very accurate, Zhao Dongmei still had at least four or five years left.
By the time she passes away, her youngest child will be five or six years old. Even if Feng Xiaolong doesn't manage the child properly, nothing serious will happen in the troupe.
Before Zhao Dongmei could speak, Feng Xiaolong stepped forward with delight to express his gratitude.
Their attitude changed too quickly.
Song Lubai glanced at him up and down, her eyes clearly showing her disdain.
Feng Xiaolong didn't care about the disdain in her eyes, since he was the one who got the benefits!
Although Zhao Dongmei's expression was not good, she still thanked her.
As they were talking, Zhao Dongmei's eldest son, who had been rolling around in the mud outside, returned home.
The child's features vaguely resembled Lin Dahai's, and Song Lubai glanced at him before looking away.
After Wei Yang finished handling everything, he took Song Lubai and their two daughters and boarded a train to the capital.
They left their luggage with Wei Zhao, so they traveled light.
Wei Yang used his official status to buy a sleeper train ticket.
With money and some tickets in their pockets, Wei Yang and Song Lubai were not stingy people, and the family of four ate hot meals almost every day on the train.
The family of four didn't suffer much on the journey, but by the time they reached the capital, Song Lubai's back was almost ruined from lying down.
The station was packed with people, who were being swept along as they pushed their way out. Song Lubai carried a small amount of luggage, while Wei Yang carried one of his daughters in each arm as they walked out.
"Dad, Mom, where are we going? Where does Auntie's house live?"
"Uncle, Aunt, I'm here."
A tall, handsome young man was waving at them with a grin.
Before Wei Yang returned, she sent a telegram to her eldest sister. Wei Shao was busy with work and couldn't get away, so she handed over the task of picking up the person to her eldest son, Su Yanqing.
Su Yanqing immediately recognized Wei Yang, who was tall and imposing, in the crowd, even though he was holding two girls in his arms.
"Uncle, you still look the same after all these years. You look a little different from other cadres."
"Why is it different?"
Su Yanqing said with a smile, "Anyway, it's just different. Maybe you dress better than others."
Most cadres like to wear Zhongshan suits, and in summer they like to wear shirts and dark trousers, and they all like to tuck their shirts into their trousers. They all look quite dignified, but they inevitably look the same.
His uncle also wore the same shirt and trousers, but he looked more elegant than others.
"Auntie, you are just as beautiful as you are in the photos."
Su Yanqing looked only a few years younger than Song Lubai, but given their seniority, she smiled politely.
Su Yanqing shifted her gaze to the two little girls, Wei Yiping and Wei Yihua, made a face at them, and made the two children smile.
Su Yanqing drove the company car directly. When Wei Yang saw the car parked on the side of the road, he gave Su Yanqing a disapproving look.
Su Yanqing laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm a driver for the boss now, the car is with me every day, Uncle, it's really okay."
The family relationships are complicated. Su Yanqing was not originally a driver, but now he has become one. However, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with driving. He can meet many people and learn some things by following his superiors.
The bus was packed with people. Wei Yang glanced at it, put the child on the bus, and then took the driver's seat.
As Song Lubai prepared to get into the car, Su Yanqing quickly said, "Auntie, you sit in the front. I want to talk to my sisters."
Song Lubai had never ridden in a car before. After she sat down, Wei Yang leaned over and fastened her seatbelt.
After not shaving for more than ten days, Wei Yang had stubble growing on his chin.
With his seatbelt fastened, Wei Yang looked up and their eyes met.
Song Lubai blinked and smiled at him.
Wei Yang quickly pinched her chin.
Her rough fingers were warm, and her eyes were filled with a gentle smile.
If there hadn't been other people in the car, he would have kissed her.
Even after being married to her for many years, her smile still softens his heart.
The capital has changed compared to a few years ago, but Wei Yang still roughly remembers the direction of his home.
“My mom said you can just stay at our house. We’ve already cleaned up the house for you, so it’ll be more convenient for everyone to eat together.”
He wouldn't be staying long after returning to visit his family. On his way back to Shicheng, he would have to go to his mother-in-law's house for a few days. Although Wei Yang missed the house in the alley in his memory, for convenience, he still drove to his elder sister's house according to Su Yanqing's instructions.
