Zhang Xiuying felt a little uneasy.
After her husband passed away, she was the only daughter left. However, it has never been heard of the mother-in-law living with her daughter and son-in-law.
But looking at her daughter's careless look, she really couldn't express her worries.
Especially since the house in my hometown has been sold, I may have lost all my roots.
The problem is that before I even have time to say anything in reply, the house has been sold and the person has already boarded the train.
In the midst of this confusion, I looked at my daughter with a smile on her face.
The light in her eyes made Zhang Xiuying unable to speak.
Since her husband passed away, it seems that my daughter rarely smiles.
This time, seeing her daughter's smile was like a dark cloud seeing the sun, she finally felt relieved.
Now that my daughter has left that home, she will become so happy.
If you are not practical, then you are not practical.
I just hope that my daughter will live a happy life in the future.
The two of them finally arrived in the Northwest.
After getting out of the car, Shen Anan felt a little regretful.
Why?
They arrived at a city in the northwest, but the urban construction here was obviously still lagging behind that of cities in other places.
And the most important thing is that the climate here is extraordinary.
It's cold now.
The temperature outside has actually dropped to more than 40 degrees below zero.
The two of them had wrapped themselves in all the thick clothes they could wear, but they were still shivering from the cold.
The most important thing is that the wind here blows like a knife, and the wind is mixed with sand and gravel and blows on the face.
It's like cutting your face with a knife.
The two of them couldn't help but buy scarves to wrap around their faces like the women here, and even wore masks.
The two of them stayed at the guest house with a letter of introduction and found out after asking around.
The place where Huo Chengan's unit was going was a farming area.
It is more than 800 miles away from the county where they are now.
Moreover, that place is desolate and remote, so you have to wait for the opportunity to get there.
Only if there is a car passing by can we take them there.
There is no shuttle bus.
After hearing this, the mother and daughter complained endlessly. They lived in a guest house and the heating was not hot enough.
When people go to bed at night, it is almost impossible to take off all the clothes underneath and lie under the quilt in sweaters and pants.
A coat should be worn outside the quilt.
That makes one tremble.
Shen Anan had no choice but to borrow the guest house's phone number and call Huo Chengan.
Two days later, a military vehicle appeared at the door of the guest house. Two young soldiers jumped out and asked Shen Anan where their room was.
Picked them both up.
Shen Anan finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, when he called, he knew that Huo Chengan was not found at all.
Huo Chengan went on a mission and heard that it would take more than a month to come back.
However, the leaders of the army knew that she was Huo Chengan's family member, so they specially sent someone to pick her up.
Otherwise they would have to stay here for at least another week.
Zhang Xiuying and Shen Anan were sitting in the driver's seat of the military vehicle.
It took two days and two nights to walk 800 miles just like that.
Some sections of the road are not easy to walk after it snows, and the wind and sand are very strong, so you often have to stop after walking for a while.
Sometimes when the big car got stuck in a pit, they had to go down to the nearby village to find fellow villagers to come and help.
In short, this journey was extremely difficult, and we finally reached the army.
Shen Anan and Zhang Xiuying supported each other.
Mainly because I really suffered too much.
Zhang Xiuying's body was already weak, and after such a bumpy ride, she already had a fever.
Shen Anan gave her mother acupuncture along the way, but what her mother needed was rest.
When I saw the leader of the army in the office, I didn't expect that the leader of the army was very friendly.
Hearing about what happened between her and Huo Chengan, and knowing that she was Huo Chengan's wife, he didn't say anything.
Directly arrange for someone to take them to where Huo Chengan lives.
I heard that Huo Chengan was not idle when he came back. After returning to the army, he filed a report and applied for a dormitory.
Originally, it would take some time to get into the dormitory, but the appearance of Shen Anan and Zhang Xiuying made the leader wave his hand.
The special approval was given directly to Huo Chengan from the pile of reports.
The two little soldiers enthusiastically helped them carry their luggage. Mainly because the mother and daughter were really moving this time, so there were definitely a lot of big and small bags.
Moreover, the two of them were already on the verge of fainting from the exhausting journey.
Even if they are mentally prepared, the main reason is that this journey is definitely difficult beyond their imagination.
The two little soldiers helped them carry their luggage to the place.
When she saw this place, Shen Anan's eyes darkened.
She knew that the Great Northwest was bitter, and she also knew that Huo Chengan had told her that this place was probably very bitter.
But I didn't expect it would be so miserable. There was neither a brick house nor a mud house in front of me. There was no house at all.
There was a flat piece of land in front of him, and then it was like a cellar was dug on the flat ground.
The flat land is covered entirely with straw sheds.
There is a chimney above the thatched shed.
When the little warrior saw Chen Chen'an's face turned pale, he actually sympathized a little.
Whenever military relatives come here and see the current situation, no one is not frightened.
They were shocked when they first arrived, but there was nothing they could do. Even Camp Commander Huo couldn't be treated better than others.
He pointed to the room in front of him with some shame.
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, our team has already considered building a brick house next year.
Then you can move to a brick house.
You make do here for now. If there is anything missing, tell us and we will definitely find a solution.
Before the battalion commander comes back, I will allow you to settle in smoothly. "
Shen Anan gritted her teeth, feeling a little shaky.
But this is the path you chose.
Only for the first time did she understand what she had chosen when she chose Huo Chengan?
Zhang Xiuying took her daughter and waved her hand.
Now that they are here, they have lost their house in their hometown and there is no way out.
Even if there are knives on the road ahead, mother and daughter have to move forward.
The little soldier opened the door, and when the two of them walked in, they felt nothing but darkness.
The hurried little soldier touched the rope from the wall and pulled it.
There was finally a light in the house.
Seeing the mother and daughter, they were relieved.
But at the same time, Shen Anan jumped up with a cry and hugged Zhang Xiuying.
"Mom, there are mice, there are mice."
Unable to do anything, a mouse nudged her instep and jumped out.
Shen Anan is not afraid of anything, but the problem is that she is really afraid of mice.
Even if I did those live experiments when I was in school, I would rather use white rabbits and frogs than white mice.
This is a difficult psychological difficulty to overcome.
Seeing her daughter shed tears, Zhang Xiuying hugged her daughter and patted her back in distress.
"It's okay, it's okay. Mom, let me touch your fur. We're not afraid. Isn't it just a mouse?
We also have mice in our house. "
The little warrior said hurriedly from the side,
"Sister-in-law, I will catch a cat for you tomorrow. I promise that you will never let mice roam around the house again."
