Lan County is nearly 300 kilometers away from the provincial capital. In later generations, the high-speed train took one hour, but now it takes about four hours.
Su Yuncheng made the bed and turned around to see that the egg in Lin Nianhe's hand was still round, without even a tooth mark.
He asked: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Lin Nianhe came to his senses and shook his head: "No, I just feel that you are... so virtuous."
She looked at him with extremely sincere eyes.
Su Yuncheng: "..."
He coughed lowly and looked away from Lin Nianhe. He just raised his chin towards the bunk covered with sheets: "Go sit over there, eat something and take a nap. We'll be there soon."
"Yeah." Lin Nianhe sat over and nibbled on the eggs.
Because time was limited, Su Yuncheng bought an early morning train ticket. Fortunately, Lin Nianhe had been accustomed to getting up early recently, otherwise he would have missed the train.
Glancing at the still dark sky, Lin Nianhe took a sip of hot milk and asked casually: "Brother Yun Cheng, are you going home for the New Year?"
"Not necessarily." Su Yuncheng told the truth, "We have to see if there are any tasks."
He is responsible for the things he is responsible for. When he is free, he can hang around all day long. When he is busy, he is away from home all year round.
Generally speaking, the Chinese New Year is always his busiest time.
Su Yuncheng didn't tell Lin Nianhe about this general situation. Perhaps he was secretly looking forward to being less busy this year and being able to go home with her to celebrate the New Year.
"Well..." Lin Nianhe stared out the window, frowning slightly and said, "I want to go home early during the Chinese New Year, but the time for family leave doesn't seem to be enough."
"When do you want to come back?" Su Yuncheng asked.
"Early January." Lin Nianhe replied, a little helpless.
This year's New Year's Eve is January 30th, and Lin Nianhe wants to arrive in the capital on January 7th at the latest.
The length of family leave varies from place to place, ranging from one and a half months to only ten days. Due to geographical constraints in Lan County, educated youths were given thirty days of family leave. Excluding the time spent on the road, Lin Nianhe didn't have enough time at all.
She had a reason to rush back, so she had to think of a way.
If you haven't thought of it, just ask him.
Su Yuncheng looked at her lightly frowning eyebrows, and his heart ached.
In this era, the mountains are high and the roads are long.
Thousands of miles apart, no sound can be heard, no tears can be seen.
"Are you homesick?" His voice was slightly hoarse, not loud, and cautious.
Lin Nianhe didn't expect that he would jump the topic in this direction, so he said "Huh" and nodded.
It can only be said that she is homesick.
This readily available reason makes perfect sense.
If he didn't take the family leave, there was probably nothing he could do.
Lin Nianhe thought so.
Seeing her nod, Su Yuncheng's brows furrowed.
Many people have told him that they miss home.
The recruit said he missed his parents, and his comrades said he missed his mother-in-law. Occasionally, his superiors would talk to him about his family under the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, saying that when he returned to his hometown two years ago, his children did not recognize him, but they recognized the military uniform and thought he was here to recruit soldiers. Yeah, I want to go with him.
Su Yuncheng could always use the simplest method to get rid of them.
New recruits are given extra training until they have no time to think about their parents;
The comrades got drunk until they were thinking about their mother-in-law;
The superiors... just need to recite the piles of work, and they won't have the time to think about their children during the holidays.
Now, Lin Nianhe told him that he missed home, and he didn't know what to do.
He recalled how he felt homesick when he was seventeen or eighteen... He didn't feel anything at all. He was in the Beijing Military Region at that time. Every time he felt a little homesick, his father would always show up in time and use various methods to The method made him have the idea that he would never want to go home in his life.
For example, the inexplicable solo extreme load-bearing cross-country, such as the allowance that was snatched away without even covering his hands, such as slamming the table and saying that he would pretend that he never had this son and explode to death...
Therefore, Su Yuncheng often couldn't understand why they were homesick.
It should be that their fathers are relatively normal.
Su Yuncheng thought about it for a long time and took out a big white rabbit.
"How about I tell you about the time when I was in the war?" He changed the subject unfamiliarly.
Lin Nianhe turned around and saw that his face was full of nervousness.
She pursed her lips and chuckled, put down the teapot, and took the sugar.
She peeled off the candy wrapper, held the candy in her mouth and nodded, indicating that she wanted to hear it.
"That year, I was accidentally kidnapped to the enemy's headquarters. It was heavily guarded and I was alone, and then..."
Lin Nianhe's eyes gradually widened.
He arrived in Lan County two years ago. In other words, he was only eighteen or nineteen years old when he was trapped in enemy lines alone.
Lin Nianhe thought about his previous life when he and the people around him were eighteen or nineteen years old...
She frowned, feeling sorry for him.
Su Yuncheng's story only started. A middle-aged man holding a teapot to get hot water stopped next to their bunk.
"Su Yuncheng?"
The middle-aged man's slightly surprised voice interrupted Su Yuncheng's story.
Su Yun followed the sound and looked around. When he saw the person clearly, he stood up immediately.
He didn't salute, but he stood straight.
"Sun..." Su Yuncheng swallowed the customary title and changed his words, "Uncle."
"Good boy." Sun Bo patted Su Yuncheng's shoulder and laughed heartily, "I knew all about that a few days ago. Well done! Clean and neat!"
Su Yuncheng replied calmly: "It's not worth mentioning what is within the scope of my duties."
Sun Bo smiled and caught a glimpse of Lin Nianhe.
His eyes suddenly brightened, and he pointed at Lin Nianhe and asked him: "Is this your partner?"
Su Yuncheng's ears turned red. He coughed twice and said, "Her name is Lin Nianhe."
Neither admitted nor denied.
"Hello, Uncle Sun." Lin Nianhe had already stood up and selectively ignored Sun Bo's question. He stood there obediently and greeted Sun Bo with a smile.
"Hey, hey, hello." Sun Bo seemed to be afraid that the "uncle" would fall to the ground, so he should be extra agile.
Su Yuncheng couldn't adapt to Sun Bo's voice, which was like a spring breeze.
He was still more accustomed to the rough voice of this person who was shouting curses while standing on a stool.
"Lin Nianhe, Lin..." Sun Bo didn't see Su Yuncheng's eyes. He smacked Lin Nianhe's name for a while and asked, "Who are you, Lin Huaizhou?"
"Lin Huaizhou is my brother." Lin Nianhe replied.
"Huaizhou, Nianhe, that's right. I remembered that the old man of the Lin family had these two names..." Sun Bo was very satisfied with his good memory and immediately included the granddaughter of his old superior as one of his own. , it sounded like, "You're here... and you're going to the countryside too?"
"Well, we're in the Shili Brigade in Lan County."
Lin Nianhe knew in his heart that this person should have a relationship with his family, so he smoothly turned on the mode of facing his elders, and was extremely well-behaved.
Sun Bo looked at the soft little girl and his voice became softer unconsciously: "Are you able to adapt to the new environment? Is the commune okay? Do you have enough to eat?"
Lin Nianhe was a little helpless, but had to play a question-and-answer game with him.
In fact, she wanted to continue listening to Su Yuncheng's story and wanted to know what horrific experiences he had experienced in the enemy camp.
But Sun Bo didn't think so. He chatted with Lin Nianhe in bits and pieces for more than ten minutes, and finally glanced at Su Yuncheng again when he turned around.
Sun Bo saw that his face was tense, as if the scene in front of him had deeply tortured him.
Sun Bo thought about it for a while, understood it, and said to him: "Yuncheng, come with me. I just have something to ask you."
Su Yuncheng: "..."
There's more, it'll be a little later~
