Chapter 449 6 Military Service in the 60s
"Come with us, sister-in-law." One of the soldiers, with a baby face, carefully examined the letter of introduction, then picked up Xie Qingyu's two suitcases and led her outside.
They came out in a supply truck, which was full of stuff in the back. Xie Qingyu and Tuanzi were sitting in the front.
The young soldier took Tuanzi and wouldn't let go, working tirelessly to get Tuanzi to speak along the way.
"So aloof, just like Deputy Regiment Commander Nie." No matter how the young soldier tried to coax Tuanzi, he wouldn't say a word.
Xie Qingyu didn't mention Tuanzi's silence, especially not in front of him. She couldn't say such things, as it might give him that kind of psychological suggestion.
"How did you know I was on this train?" Xie Qingyu asked after boarding the train.
"The only trains that come from your area arrive around this time every two days. When Deputy Regiment Commander Nie received the telegram a few days ago, he guessed that your train should be here today, or the day after tomorrow. Since he was going out to purchase supplies today, he asked us to come and pick you up." The baby-faced soldier answered Xie Qingyu's question while driving.
"Deputy Regiment Commander Nie is on a mission these days, which is why he sent us here," the soldier holding the dumpling immediately added.
"Yes, but he applied to accompany his unit before he left. You've come at just the right time; the new family compound here has just been built, and there are still some vacancies." The young soldier said cheerfully.
Xie Qingyu was unaware of this, but at least she had a place to stay.
She came in a bit of a hurry.
Tuanzi, held in the arms of the young soldier, became sleepy after a short while on the bus and reached out to find Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu took him from her, and he fell asleep.
Tuanzi was asleep, and the two soldiers spoke in hushed tones, but their curiosity was still irresistible.
"Um, sister-in-law, how did you meet Deputy Regiment Commander Nie? Isn't Deputy Regiment Commander Nie's hometown in the village?" The young soldier finally asked after holding back for a while.
Although Xie Qingyu had lived in the countryside for several years, her demeanor still clearly showed that she was not a girl from the village; she was even prettier than the female soldiers in the cultural troupe.
“I went to the countryside, and it just so happened that I was in their village,” Xie Qingyu explained.
"So that's how it is. But why haven't you written a letter in all these years since you got married?"
“It’s inconvenient to send letters in the village, and I also have a child with me…” Xie Qingyu’s voice was a little low as she spoke.
The young soldier immediately realized he had said the wrong thing; how could he have asked such a question?
He immediately imagined Xie Qingyu struggling alone with her child, having to walk through the wind and rain to get to town.
Xie Qingyu had no idea that he had imagined so much.
Although the original owner married the male lead, she didn't really like him and even looked down on him. She lived a miserable life and never thought of asking the male lead for more money, so why would she write a letter?
However, after that topic came up, the young soldier dared not ask any more questions.
The car quieted down, and Xie Qingyu, sitting in the back seat, felt sleepy and drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
She didn't know how long the car had been traveling; when Xie Qingyu opened her eyes again, they still hadn't arrived at their destination.
Looking at the scenery outside, we've already driven into the mountains.
"We're almost there," the young soldier in front reminded Xie Qingyu when he saw she was awake.
Xie Qingyu ran her fingers through her hair, then looked down at Tuanzi, who was still fast asleep.
