Before leaving for the army, Lin Qingping took her second sister to go through the name change procedure. She removed the "Qing" from her name and changed her name to Lin Qingyun.
The second sister, no, her name is Qingyun now. Qingyun barely studied until junior high school, but the college entrance examination at that time was not as difficult as it would be decades later. No matter what, Lin Qingping would support Qingyun to go to college. If one year was not enough, then two years would be enough. If two years were not enough, then three years would be enough.
Lin Qingping assigned study tasks to her sister and left homework for Zhiyuan before leaving for the army.
It’s really far!
The train ride took two days and one night.
It started raining while we were on the train and the weather suddenly became much cooler.
It is indeed autumn...
This time, Lin Qingping did buy a seat ticket, and it was a window seat. Every time the train stopped at a station, there would be people pushing carts outside the window selling food. After decades, when he saw these scenes again, he still thought that those colorful chicken legs looked delicious.
But she didn't buy any food. She brought her own. Her mother-in-law Liu Fen and Gu Youlian fried a jar of meat and vegetables, a jar of pickles, and some rolled pancakes for her to eat on the way.
When you ride alone in a car, you are always a little nervous, but at night, you can't stand it anymore and fall asleep leaning against the car window.
As a result, I was woken up by the cold.
Late at night, the temperature dropped even lower. Someone left the window open, and cold wind mixed with drizzle blew in, freezing her all over.
She hurried to close the window, but no matter how hard she tried, there was a gap that wouldn't close completely. She could only wrap her clothes tighter to resist the cold wind that kept coming in through the window, but it didn't seem to have much effect.
I finally made it to dawn and then evening before I was able to get off the bus. Only then did I realize that my feet were swollen from sitting so much and I was also feeling a little dizzy.
She carried her luggage and joined the bustling crowd at the train station.
However, the train did not go directly to the troops' location, so she had to take a bus. However, there were no buses running at that point.
She took the letter of introduction and found a guesthouse to stay in.
After sitting on the train for two days and one night, she felt that she was stinking and full of smells. She would not allow herself to meet Gu Juncheng like this.
She was eager to take a bath.
There was a special bathhouse in the guesthouse, but that night, the water was not hot enough. She washed her hair and took a bath with the little hot water, then dragged her tired body back to her room to sleep.
She had to rush to the army the next day, so she got up early and went to the bus station to catch the bus. She was so focused on getting on the road that she didn't notice the abnormality in her body.
After several more hours of driving, we finally arrived at the county town where the troops were located.
The weather was getting colder. Lin Qingping wrapped herself in all her clothes, but she was still cold.
To her surprise, someone at the bus station holding a sign with her name on it came to pick her up. It was a little soldier.
As soon as she saw the military green color, she felt at ease. She waved vigorously and moved towards the little soldier with her luggage.
The young soldier immediately ran over and took her luggage, "Sister-in-law, are you Lin Qingping?"
"Yes, yes, it's me. What's your name? How did you know I came at this time?" Lin Qingping's hands were free, so he wrapped his clothes tightly.
"Tuan Gu said you would be here today. Sister-in-law, you can just call me Xiaotian. Our car is parked outside." The young soldier walked in front of her carrying her luggage, walking very fast.
Lin Qingping quickened his pace to catch up.
After getting in the car, Lin Qingping felt a little warmer. Xiaotian drove to the army.
This moment was the most peaceful moment for Lin Qingping in the past two days. He felt a sense of relief that he could finally relax, so he leaned against the car seat and fell asleep again in a daze.
She slept until Oda called her. She woke up, opened her eyes, and felt a little heavy in the head.
"Gu Tuan hasn't come back yet, I'll take you to where you live first, sister-in-law, you should take a rest first." Xiao Tian looked at her and said, "You are wearing too little, don't catch a cold."
Lin Qingping was indeed negligent.
A few days ago, when they were selling clothes in the provincial capital, they were still wearing light clothes. Who could have imagined that a heavy rain would come in autumn, and by the time they got here, it was almost winter.
"Well, thank you Xiaotian." She wrapped her clothes tightly again. In the strong wind, she felt dizzy and seemed like she would be blown away at any time.
Oda took her to the temporary housing estate, put her luggage down and left.
The dormitory in the staff housing complex was tidy and clean. Lin Qingping sat there for a while, feeling a little confused.
She originally thought that she would be able to see him when she arrived at the army, and that she could go to his barracks and do something for him, but in the end, everything was different from what she expected.
But, it's finally here.
She smiled and started packing her things in her bag.
Just as she had finished tidying up her things, Xiaotian came again and brought her a bowl of noodles.
"Sister-in-law, you didn't have lunch, right? Have a bowl of noodles to warm up first." Xiaotian came and went in a hurry, put down the bowl and ran away, as if he was afraid to talk to her.
Lin Qingping was indeed hungry, so he sat down and ate a bowl of hot noodle soup, which made him feel a little warmer.
In that era, there were no mobile phones or internet. She sat alone in the room, not knowing what to do. She simply lay down in the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.
"Lin Qingping! Lin Qingping!"
She was awakened by a burst of rapid shouting.
When I opened my eyes, I felt a dazzling light. Under the bright light, I could vaguely see a dark and handsome face.
"Gu Juncheng!" She was so surprised that she shouted and stood up to sit up.
However, what she thought was a shout turned out to be just a hoarse sound that could not produce any sound. She tried to sit up, but she felt weak all over, her ears were buzzing, and she fell back.
What's wrong with her?
She looked at Gu Juncheng, her head buzzing, "Gu Juncheng...you're back?"
She tried to speak again, but was this her voice? It sounded so bad, so hoarse, and her throat was so sore...
Gu Juncheng's eyes seemed to be blazing with fire, and he pulled back her quilt.
"No...it's cold..." Lin Qingping immediately curled up into a ball and reached out to pull the quilt.
"You still feel cold, you..." Gu Juncheng finally swallowed the rest of his words and looked around. There was no thick clothes for her to wear.
Without saying a word, he wrapped her in the quilt, rolled her and the quilt into a cocoon, picked her up, and walked outside.
"Gu Juncheng, where are you going? I don't want to go..." She was actually still in a daze and groggy. She only knew that Gu Juncheng had returned. When he hugged her, her whole body floated up and down, and it felt like she was in the clouds.
She was afraid that he would drop her to the ground, so she wanted to stretch out her arms to hold his neck, but just as she stretched out half of her arms, she felt very cold.
"Put your head back in! Pull your head back in too!"
It's so dark outside, and in the darkness, he's so fierce...
She obediently shrank back into the cocoon that the quilt had rolled up into, and lay on his chest aggrievedly, "You're mean to me again... I took such a long car ride to see you, and you're still mean to me..."
