Chapter 009: Going to the Army to Find Someone
"Bang-bang."
Rong Mei lazily leaned her head on the window sill of the green train, and the expression on her face could only be described as having no desire to live.
The train had been traveling for a whole day and a whole night.
I also took the express train.
She must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to suggest to Liu Rong that she should take the initiative to find Zhou Nanxu. She was simply asking for trouble.
Liu Rong has been anxious at home all day since she received her son's telegram, and this negative emotion has infected Rong Mei.
Since her son wouldn't be back for a while, Liu Rong, the mother-in-law, planned to take her daughter-in-law to the army to look for him.
The mother-in-law is determined, what can Rong Mei do?
I had no choice but to pack up and follow Liu Rong.
As a result, just after setting off, Liu Rong fell to the ground due to motion sickness and vomiting because she couldn't stand the bumpy ride of the bus.
Rong Mei looked at Liu Rong's pale face and advised her to return.
However, Liu Rong refused to do so and insisted on sending Rong Mei to her son, saying that newlyweds could not be separated for long as it would affect their relationship.
Rong Mei's heart softened at that moment, and she couldn't bear to see Liu Rong suffer, so she impulsively suggested going alone.
Liu Rong was worried that Rong Mei might get into danger while traveling alone.
After Rong Mei repeatedly assured her that she had traveled alone many times before, Liu Rong finally relented. She then reminded her of many things to pay attention to, and Rong Mei started her journey to the army to look for people alone, while she returned the same way.
This day and night was the most difficult journey in Rong Mei's entire life.
Neither Rong Mei in the previous life nor the original owner in this life had ever seen this.
It turns out that trains can be so crowded. Not only are the aisles full of people, but even people can lie down under your seats at night. What's even more speechless is that after the train stops at the station, people can still climb in through the windows...
The smell of sweat, smelly feet, and various food smells mixed together made her lose her appetite.
Except for necessary physiological needs, she hardly left her seat during the journey, and of course she never took off the headscarf. She kept her head down, never spoke to anyone or looked anyone in the eye.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the journey was smooth and I arrived at the station safely.
When my feet touched the ground again, even though my back and waist ached, at least I could breathe smoothly.
However, she had not yet reached her destination. After eating two biscuits to fill her stomach, washing her face and taking a short rest, she set out on the journey from the city to the military base.
4:30 in the afternoon.
After traveling by bus, train, and on foot, Rong Mei finally arrived at the unit where Zhou Nanxu was serving.
When Rong Mei saw the sentry standing upright with guns in hand at the military gate, she almost couldn't help choking up.
Damn, it’s finally here.
He let out a breath, then staggered towards the gate, dragging his luggage.
Eyes met.
When the young soldier at the gate looked at the young woman in front of him who was dressed in extremely rustic clothes, had unkempt hair and a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, his brain suddenly froze and he couldn't open his mouth.
Foreigner?
What is he trying to say? He doesn't even know any foreign languages.
His ears turned red as he avoided Rong Mei's gaze.
Rong Mei took off the mask on her face, revealing her whole face, and smiled sweetly, "Hello comrade, I'm here to look for someone."
Now not only did the little soldier's ears turn red, but his entire face became familiar. Fortunately, his face was dark to begin with, so it didn't look particularly prominent.
But he is a soldier, and he is on duty, so he cannot lose his basic military qualities.
He repeated the duty of a soldier in his mind many times before he stammered, "Who are you looking for?"
Rong Mei took out her ID card and gave her name as Zhou Nanxu.
The ID card was issued by the original owner when he was still in Heihe City last year, and it was handwritten.
The young soldier took it and asked some questions as usual. Then he made a phone call and asked Rong Mei to wait here and someone would come to pick her up.
During the entire communication process, the young soldier kept his face turned away and never looked directly at Rong Mei.
Rong Mei also tactfully covered her face again and moved to the side so as not to disturb the little soldier standing guard, waiting obediently for someone to come and pick her up.
Deputy Political Commissar Guo Jiming was struck by lightning when he received the call from the guard room.
Zhou Nanxu is a rare young talent in the army and was promoted to become his new partner just two days ago.
All his comrades in the army applauded and congratulated him, and the old ladies in the family compound were also always concerned about his lifelong affairs and actively wanted to introduce him to someone.
But at this time Zhou Nanxu took the initiative to stand up and said that his mother had already found a partner for him at home, so there was no need to trouble his sisters-in-law to worry about him.
This news caused a stir in the front and back camps.
Everyone was curious about Deputy Captain Zhou's girlfriend, but when they found out that she was from the countryside, they all sighed and felt sorry for her.
With Deputy Captain Zhou's excellent personal qualities, he must find a partner in the city.
Guo Jiming also thought so. If nothing else, at least he should find someone who is cultured and knowledgeable.
It’s not that he looks down on rural people, but in his opinion, the economic and educational resources in the countryside are really limited.
It is not easy to raise a young woman who is cultured and knowledgeable.
I don’t think there is even one in the surrounding villages.
Otherwise, why do they say it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.
Hey, why did you come to my house so soon, and chose to do so when no one is around.
Yes, Zhou Nanxu went to the city for a meeting.
So he had to pick up this person.
When Guo Jiming thought of the country daughter-in-law of the old Fang family in the courtyard, he couldn't help shivering.
He hung up the phone and called the orderly.
With a nervous heart, Guo Jiming led the orderly to the gate to pick up people.
Rong Mei kicked a big hole in the gravel and mud under her feet, and then she could vaguely see the late receptionist coming into the gate.
He only narrowed his eyes slightly and recognized that it was not Zhou Nanxu himself.
She didn't show any impatience or dissatisfaction.
Although she was a half-baked person, she still respected and admired these PLA uncles from the bottom of her heart.
It’s not because of the respect for the word “soldier”, but because of the admiration for the responsibilities they bear.
While Rong Mei was looking at them, Guo Jiming was also observing Rong Mei from a distance.
But after just a quick glance from a distance, he was greatly disappointed with Deputy Captain Zhou's wife who came from the countryside.
Although I was mentally prepared.
But I really didn’t expect it to be such an image.
She was wearing a blue cloth jacket, which was only worn by women over fifty years old in the countryside, and a pair of black cloth trousers, and the same black cloth shoes on her feet.
His entire face and head were wrapped tightly, and he couldn't see any of his face from ten meters away.
If he hadn't known from the phone that she was someone's wife, he would have thought it was someone's mother when he looked at her from afar.
Well, I don’t say I have to dress as fashionably as the girls in the city, but I do have to wear something redder and brighter.
After all, she is only a young girl in her twenties, at the prime of her youth and vigor. How can she be made to look as lifeless as an old lady?
