Chapter 41 Return to the Army
The next morning, Chen Tang packed his luggage and prepared to return to the army with Lu Yanzhou.
Father Shen drove her to the train station.
After getting off the car, Father Shen told her a few words, thought about it, and stuffed the little money in his hand into her hand.
"After you return to the army, listen to your aunt more. If you are wronged, don't hide it from your parents. Be sure to call me. No matter how busy your father is, he will definitely come to pick you up in person..."
Father Shen is not good at speaking and has always been steady, but at this moment he always wants to say the things he can remind twice.
Shen Tang listened obediently, nodding from time to time.
"You and mom should take care of yourselves too, and write to me often. I will miss you."
In her previous life, she was lonely, helpless, socially anxious, and had few friends. Even though she survived well thanks to the dividends of the times, she still greedily thought that it would be great if she had relatives.
After traveling to this era, she also felt anxious, but it was her loving family members who calmed her down.
This era may have flaws and many restrictions, but she still likes it very much.
Because here there are people who love her and people she loves.
Mother Shen wiped the tears from her eyes.
After they left, no one knew how many years it would take for them to see each other again.
But as long as the children are happy and the father is healthy, one day their family will be reunited.
At the train station.
Lu Yanzhou helped her carry the luggage and was about to talk to her when he saw the little girl looking around, as if looking for someone.
Until a man in military uniform came running over, holding three large lunch boxes in his left hand and a bag of biscuits, sugar and eggs in his right hand.
"Sugar!"
He Xu was relieved to see the person.
He made the buns overnight, steamed them early in the morning, and quickly borrowed Uncle Wang's car and rushed over.
People who have just fallen in love are always reluctant to let go.
Besides, the two of them just established their relationship yesterday.
Chen Tang couldn't help but put on a smile when he saw him: "So early? The car hasn't started yet, no need to rush."
He Xu smiled, and when he noticed that Lu Yanzhou was carrying her luggage, his eyes flickered slightly.
"Comrade Lu, Tangtang calls you Brother Lu, so I'll do the same. Tangtang, thank you for taking care of me along the way. When I return to the military region, I will definitely treat you to a meal."
Lu Yanzhou pulled the corners of his lips, unable to smile at all: “No, I’m just following Grandpa Shen’s orders.”
Shen Tang thought that if it weren’t for Lu Yanzhou, their Shen family would have been framed like in the previous life.
She smiled and said, "Brother Lu, He Xu is right. Both the Shen family and I should thank you. When we get to the military district, I will treat you to a meal."
He Xu's smile froze on his face instantly.
Lu Yanzhou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll trouble you then."
Chen Tang: “No trouble…”
Suddenly, He Xu forcefully stuffed the thing in his hand into hers.
"This is the meat buns, braised pork and eggs that I made early in the morning. Remember to eat them while they are hot when you get to the train."
Chen Tang's attention was immediately diverted, and his bright eyes were filled with surprise: "He Xu, you are so nice."
But who eats braised pork so early in the morning?
This man is really... silly but cute!
The little girl praised him generously, and the man's invisible tail was almost lifted up after hearing him.
He Xu's ears turned red, and he touched her head: "Okay, be careful when you get in the car, don't do it like last time."
Shen Tangkong had no choice but to nod solemnly.
Before leaving, He Xu hugged her, his dark eyes filled with undisguised affection and possessiveness.
"Remember to wait for me and don't look at other men too much."
He knew that the girl didn't have much love for him, and only had a liking for his looks and figure.
If possible, he would like to hold her in his pocket and not let her go.
Unfortunately, he couldn't go back to the army with her.
Men's possessiveness is a bit childish.
But it doesn't stop Shen Tang from liking it.
She smiled brightly at him: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
After getting on the train, Lu Yanzhou put her things away and went to get some hot water.
The sleeper was clean.
Chen Tang opened the lunch boxes. The first layer contained ten crooked buns, the second layer was full of eggs, and the third layer was full of braised pork.
Thinking of how He Xu had been busy all night last night, she couldn't help but smile.
Two more women and three children came into the box. The two girls were very thin, but the boy was plump from eating so much.
The old woman was wearing dusty clothes and holding a live chicken in her hand. The smell came with the wind and almost made Chen Tang vomit.
She closed the lunch box and quickly opened the window.
The old man saw the meat bun in her hand and couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "My dear, don't you want to eat it? If not, give it to me. It won't taste good if it gets cold. Or you can give it to me. My eldest grandson hasn't had breakfast yet."
After saying that, she wanted to reach out and take the food in her bowl.
Chen Tang quickly dodged: "Sorry, I don't sell it."
The old man glared at her fiercely and said, "I won't buy those ugly buns. You look pretty, but you have no sympathy at all. I asked you for two buns, but you didn't give them to me. You don't respect the elderly or the young at all."
Chen Tang frowned and ignored the unreasonable old lady.
Seeing this, her daughter-in-law took the opportunity to hold the old lady and said, "Mom, forget it. We are not the kind of people who can't afford to eat buns."
The old lady stopped staring at the lunch box in Shen Tang's hand, but her disgusted eyes were still looking at Shen Tang.
"Slut, you look so good in this outfit, I don't know who you are trying to seduce."
Chen Tang was only wearing an ordinary white shirt and military pants today. She habitually tucked the shirt into her pants, which was light and simple, and also made her waist look thin and her legs look long.
She only wore it once in the military zone, and many people followed suit.
So she didn't think it was wrong.
Hearing the old lady's foul-mouthed words, Chen Tang became furious: "There are all kinds of people in the world. How could such a foul-smelling person come to a good sleeper berth?"
The old lady was furious when she heard this. She immediately took on the posture of a quarrel in Sanli Village, put one hand on her waist, pointed at her and cursed: "Who are you calling stinky, you slut?"
Chen Tang climbed up to the upper bunk and confirmed that the other party could not come up. Then he said coldly to the young woman who was watching the show:
"Comrade, please ask your mother to be more careful with her words. If you keep quarreling like this, I will report you to the train police. Don't blame me if you are kicked out of the berth."
The old lady wouldn't be kicked out. At most, the conductor would give her a verbal warning.
But she noticed that the two men were not dressed well, and they were looking around after getting on the train. It was probably their first time taking a train.
She just wants to scare people.
The old lady was frightened.
The young woman also turned pale, and she pulled the old lady, whispering, "Mom, forget it. Jiaming said that the sleeper berth is not something that ordinary people can afford."
The old lady didn't want to bring disaster to her promising son, so she could only swallow her anger and reluctantly sat in their seats.
When Lu Yanzhou came back, the two of them were even more afraid to make trouble when they saw that such a big man was in cahoots with Shen Tang.
As Lu Yanzhou walked into the box, he smelled a strange odor and his eyes were fixed on the chicken that had its feet tied but was clucking.
Seeing that Chen Tang was also desperate, he smiled inwardly and quickly called the flight attendant over.
The old lady was frightened, fearing that she would be kicked off the bus.
When they heard the conductor ask them to put the chickens outside, they started making a fuss again, saying that people from big cities were bullying people from the countryside.
The conductor persuaded the old lady to listen and she finally understood, and decided to just give the chicken to them for temporary safekeeping.
The old lady knew that these two people were not easy to deal with, so she cursed them in a low voice but did not dare to speak loudly.
