Before entering Heilongjiang Province, I felt that the temperature in the carriage was obviously not as hot as before.
The old lady said curiously: "Hey, it's really cool!"
"Of course. I heard that people here have to sleep with quilts at night."
The old lady expressed disbelief, but was looking forward to the upcoming trip.
At the terminal, the group packed up their things and prepared to get off the bus when they saw Wei Xu squeezing through the crowd and accurately finding a few people.
"Nana, Yueyue, I'm coming!"
Qin Siyue looked up and found that he seemed to be taller than he was six months ago. His face was more resolute, and in his military uniform, he exuded the charm of a mature man.
Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly understood why her father was worried. This guy was a walking hormone, and she, a little girl, couldn't handle it.
The old lady excitedly shook Wei Xu's hand, saying, "You've lost weight, you've lost weight!"
Wei Xu smiled warmly: "No, grandma, I'm strong now!"
The corner of his eye was looking at Qin Siyue: "You've worked hard along the way. Let's go back to the team and talk."
As he was about to pick up the sack on the ground, the soldier next to him got there first: "Deputy Captain, you guys chat with our grandma and our sister, I'll carry the things."
Qin Siyue raised his eyebrows: "Promoted again?"
"Yeah, it just got promoted two days ago!"
Qin Siyue didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that his voice became more steady and restrained, as if there was a small hook, luring her to look up at him.
I saw him lift two plastic buckets with ease, as if they were weightless.
He asked a few people to wait there and put their things away before he and the young soldier came over to take their luggage and took them out to catch the bus.
Outside the station, two jeeps were particularly dazzling in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The old lady smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite? We can just ask around and take the bus!"
Jiang Shi, the soldier next to Wei Xu, said with a smile, "Grandma Qin, you don't know this. The army is dozens of kilometers away from the station, and there is no bus.
I came back from this end, but no one answered the call. I might not be able to find the person for two or three days.”
The old lady was surprised: "So far?"
"That's right! That's why our deputy regiment commander asked for leave early in the morning, fearing that you would miss the train and have to sleep on the streets."
This is a bit exaggerated. After all, you can still stay in a guesthouse if you don't have a car.
But most people who come to visit relatives are reluctant to spend the money and choose to stay overnight at the station or find a bridge to spend the night.
The old lady sighed, "Wei boy is so thoughtful." She took out two peaches from her pocket and said, "Are you hungry? Eat something and rest before you go back."
Jiang Shi declined: "Grandma Qin, let's go back to the army first. It gets dark early here."
The old lady had no concept of jet lag. She thought it was summer and how early it could get dark, so she didn't take it seriously.
Jiang Shi didn't explain much and let the old lady sit in the passenger seat.
Da Ya, Er Ya, Jin Bao and Xiao Jun sat in the back seat. Although there were four of us, we were all so thin that we didn't feel crowded at all.
Just as Qin Siyue was about to step forward, he saw Jiang Shi close the car door and drive away.
Qin Siyue was stunned and stretched out his hand: "Hey, wait for me, there are still people who haven't got on the bus!"
Wei Xu chuckled: "Do you really have to squeeze in with them?"
Qin Siyue's heart skipped a beat. He opened the door of the second jeep evasively and sat in the passenger seat.
Wei Xu shook his head and got in, but he didn't drive away in a hurry.
"How have you been these past six months?"
"Okay, didn't I tell you in the letter? I've grown taller, become whiter, and even got into high school."
"Yeah, I can tell!" Wei Xu's eyes were as gentle as a clear spring, as if one would be immersed in them if he looked at them for just one more moment.
Every time they made eye contact, Qin Siyue quickly avoided it, pretending to be nonchalant and joking, but in fact his ears were red.
But if you ask her whether she is moved or not, the probability is that she is not.
The experience she had just experienced when she first crossed over was so profound that she still hadn't forgotten how Wei Xu rejected Qin Jianye. Therefore, she wouldn't have any delusions at all.
I just thought Wei Xu was suffering from the aftereffects of the battlefield, and his temper had changed. Or maybe after getting promoted, he needed to be more careful about his reputation, which was why he was so gentle.
Qin Siyue warned himself: "Don't think too much, don't think too much."
However, Wei Xu suddenly leaned over, shocking her so much that she almost forgot to breathe.
Qin Siyue was extremely panicked, but he saw the other party reach out and take out a box from the small drawer in front of the passenger seat: "Here, this is for you, a gift for your academic advancement!"
Qin Siyue despised his own filthiness, took the box with a red face, and saw an exquisite fountain pen inside.
It looks expensive.
"It's very valuable, isn't it, Brother Wei?" She didn't refuse and planned to give him a gift of equal value in return.
Wei Xu didn't give a direct answer, but only said, "Study hard and grow up quickly."
The rough big hands rubbed her head, and Qin Siyue felt a little dizzy.
I didn't even realize when the car started, and by the time I realized it, I had already arrived at the post office.
Wei Xu called Wang Zhiqiang. The two brothers chatted for a few words and then handed the phone to Qin Siyue.
"Brother-in-law, grandma and I just arrived. Don't worry, Brother Wei will take good care of us."
After hanging up the phone, the two went to the grain station, supply and marketing cooperative, and state-owned restaurant to buy some food.
It was not until it was completely dark that Wei Xu drove slowly towards the team.
Qin Siyue felt several times that the speed was almost as slow as a turtle, but he didn't feel comfortable urging him to do so.
After all, in those days, the roads were unpaved, and the roads were bumpy and dusty. It was also pitch black, and we relied entirely on the two lightbulbs in the front of the car to illuminate the way.
She didn't dare rush him, fearing it would be unsafe to travel at night, but she also felt very awkward sharing a carriage with Wei Xu.
The old lady who had arrived before them became anxious for a moment when she found that Chou Ya did not get on the bus.
"Hey hey hey, my little granddaughter hasn't come up yet!"
Jiang Shi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandma Qin. The deputy regiment commander has taken Siyue home to report that she's safe. She'll be able to catch up soon."
The old lady didn't think much of it and even nodded: "I should tell you. You've been away for several days, and my family must be worried sick."
Jiang Shi shook his head, thinking that it wasn't like the team hadn't called. The deputy captain's intentions were obvious.
The car swayed for an hour before arriving at the destination. The old lady looked at the guard at the door and shivered unconsciously.
Jiang Shi comforted her: "Grandma Qin is fine. Let's just show them the letter of introduction, register, and check the luggage, and then we can go in."
Qian Guihua nodded and pulled a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket. After a thorough questioning by the soldiers at the gate, they let her pass.
Jiang Shi brought them to the house assigned to Lu Chengxuan and said, "You can rest here first. The deputy brigade commander will come over when he finishes his work."
The old lady was a little confused: "Isn't this Xiao Lu's residence?"
"Yes!" Jiang Shi nodded affirmatively and said with a smile: "Captain Lu was promoted some time ago and is now the deputy brigade commander."
The old lady didn’t know what kind of official position the deputy brigade commander held, but she knew that if even Wei Xu could drive a car, then someone with the surname Lu must be even more powerful!
