When the two were ready to go back, there were only a few minutes left until nine o'clock.

When I hurried over, there were already many people in the carriage. The driver, Warrior Xiao Wang, was leaning against the carriage with a nearly finished cigarette in his hand.

"Captain Zhao, you are here!"

Xiao Wang smiled and was not annoyed by the two people's late arrival.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Zhao Xingyu apologized sincerely. He wanted to buy all the beautiful clothes for his young wife, so he neglected the time.

"No way, you are on time. Just in time!"

Xiao Wang laughed and teased.

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

"Okay, stop sucking up to me and get going."

"We've all been waiting here for a while. If we continue, we won't know when we can go back."

There was a discordant voice from behind.

Qi Sisi looked up and saw Aunt Han, with Miao Cuicui beside her.

Both of them were wearing rustic clothes. Miao Cuicui wore a floral shirt and rustic cotton pants. Aunt Han was dressed similarly, but with older patterns and a head wrapped around her head. At first glance, she looked ten years older.

I didn't expect to meet them here.

"Eh," Xiao Wang looked into the carriage in surprise, "I don't remember seeing you guys earlier? Everyone is here..."

This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are famous in the army.

It's just not a good reputation.

One is a sarcastic mother-in-law, and the other is a new daughter-in-law who had an affair before marriage. Unfortunately, the two of them don't get along well. They have been making a lot of jokes in the guesthouse recently. Even those who don't like to gossip have heard about it.

Aunt Han looked awkward and said unhappily, "We left yesterday afternoon and didn't have a car to go back, so we stayed in the town for one night."

Xiao Wang frowned, thinking that they would count the number of people every time they returned, so that no one would be left behind.

Unless the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were too late, or had no intention of going back at all, the car would leave.

"Did anything happen to you in the town? Which hotel did you stay in?"

Xiao Wang asked tentatively.

"No, I live with a fellow villager," Auntie Han answered a few words and then became impatient and waved her hand, "Why are you asking so many questions? Can you go back now?"

"Okay!"

Although Xiao Wang thought it was a bit strange, he thought that two women would not cause any trouble, so he let it go.

"You guys go ahead."

He turned around and said to Zhao Xingyu: "Captain Zhao, you guys get in the car."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Xingyu put away his crutches and became the co-pilot with the help of Qi Sisi.

There is no way, he is still a "wounded person", if he is going to act, he has to do it in its entirety.

“That’s not fair!”

Auntie Han was walking towards the back of the carriage. When she saw this scene, she immediately started yelling.

"Hey, young man, why can they sit in the front? We can only sit in the back? We all arrived at the same time, why?"

Xiao Wang paused in his attempt to get out of the car, walked over, and said loudly, "There are so many people sitting in the car, do you know why they didn't ask?"

"They are stupid!"

Auntie Han mocked, "I'm not as stupid as them. He's a soldier, so he should have contributed his position. Why should he enjoy special treatment? I'm an old man, and I want to sit in the front seat."

The leather seats are spacious and comfortable, which is a completely different feeling from the iron seats in the carriage. Not to mention that there are so many people in the carriage, it is stuffy and hot.

Xiao Wang laughed angrily. His subordinate grasped the pistol at his waist and said in a shocked voice, "You are right about one thing. Captain Zhao is a soldier. He was injured on duty and his leg is not healed yet. So it is reasonable for me to give him the seat."

"As for you?"

He looked at Han's mother with a critical and disapproving look.

If it weren't for the fact that she was the mother of a soldier, he wouldn't even want to take her along.

"Apart from your age, what have you contributed to the army? Have you ever made shoes or sewed cotton jackets for the army? You enjoy the comfortable life brought by the sacrifices of the soldiers, and you still have the nerve to question it? Who gave you the courage!"

He spoke in a powerful and stern tone, and Han's mother lowered her head little by little, unable to raise it.

There was an awkward atmosphere in the air.

"Well said!"

There was a burst of applause in the carriage.

"Xiao Wang is right. We enjoy the comfort brought by the soldiers. What's wrong with giving them some special honors? It doesn't harm anyone's interests."

"Besides, Captain Zhao is still a patient and belongs to the vulnerable group. We should take care of him."

"People's lives are improving day by day, but some people's ideas are still corrupt. I think they should be arrested and reformed to make them aware of their wrong ideas!"

Hearing these two words, Han's mother trembled and said in a trembling voice: "No, not really, I, I just questioned it, I didn't do anything..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Miao Cuicui quickly added: "Comrade Wang, my mother-in-law just had a bad idea for a moment. She has no bad intentions. It is reasonable for Captain Zhao to sit down after being injured. We have no objection. Don't you agree, mother-in-law?"

After saying that, he poked Han's mother beside him hard.

This old hag has a foul mouth. It's ok that she curses everything at home, but she is so ignorant in front of so many people. If she is really arrested and sent for reform, then Brother Guibing will be implicated. How can she live the life of a rich lady?

"Yes, yes, yes, I have no objection. I'm just asking..."

Mother Han breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't hear clearly what her daughter-in-law meant in that long string of words, the situation was wrong and she had to admit her mistake!

"That's better!"

The driver, Xiao Wang, glared at the two of them fiercely, his eyes full of scrutiny.

It seems that he has reported to the leaders and asked them to strengthen the ideological and political work for the military dependents.

What if this happens a few more times and hurts the soldiers?

During the conversation, Zhao Xingyu got down from his seat.

"Captain Zhao, what are you doing?" Xiao Wang was a little terrified, and hurriedly said, "I've already told you, don't mind it, it's empty anyway if you don't sit on it."

Zhao Xingyu smiled and shook his head. "Since everyone has opinions, I naturally cannot accept these special treatments. I will wait for the leadership's instructions first."

Xiao Wang wanted to speak but stopped.

Finally, he sighed deeply and didn't try to persuade her any further.

Zhao Xingyu came to the back of the carriage with a crutch, and Qi Sisi carried the clothes and candies and snacks they bought.

The military dependents passing by in the vehicle quickly made room for him.

Qi Sisi put her things down and crossed into the carriage.

After fastening the door, driver Xiao Wang got into the driver's seat and started back.

The car started to move shakily.

"Captain Zhao, why are you doing this?"

"Yeah, other people with substandard thinking don't understand, but we can all understand. It would be a shame if you got hurt!"

Some people in the carriage felt sorry for him.
