After the residence was settled, the Cheng family began to prepare for the wedding.
Cheng Wanwan found out where Zhao Sanniu was and couldn't wait to see his son, planning to let Cheng Ding lead the way.
"My godmother came to see me about this." Shen Zheng said with a smile, "After I failed the exam, I was in a bad mood. I often went to Sanniu to relax. The guards guarding the gate all know me. If I go, I will be allowed to go."
Cheng Wanwan nodded and asked Ninglan to load the things that had been prepared into the carriage, take Zhao Sidan with him, and the group headed towards the outskirts of Beijing.
The location of the military camp was further away than the courtyard Cheng Zhaoxin bought. After leaving the city gate, he walked east for more than ten miles before he saw the tent of the military camp.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Shen Zheng jumped out and punched the soldier guarding the entrance on the shoulder: "Zhang Jinbao, why have you grown taller again? What good things have you eaten..."
Zhang Jinbao rubbed his head: "They also said that I have grown taller. Hehe, my mother will be very happy if she knows. Did Brother Zheng come to see Sanniu? He is practicing martial arts in the training ground. Just go in."
Cheng Wanwan got off the carriage, holding two small jars in his hand, and handed them to the two soldiers guarding the door: "I dried some dried meat. You can eat some when you are hungry."
"This is Sanniu's mother, who is also my godmother." Shen Zheng introduced, "My godmother came all the way and brought a lot of things to Sanniu. I wonder if we can drive the carriage in. Let's put it down Just leave after the things, it won’t affect anything.”
This is a military camp on the outskirts of Beijing. There is no need to fight, so the defense is relatively loose. The two guards each got a large jar full of dried meat. If there was anything they didn't want to do, they immediately said: "The carriages delivering supplies all come from here." Go in, you just take this road, it’s no big deal.”
Shen Zheng led the horse through the back path and stopped directly in front of Zhao Sanniu's tent. He was still practicing at this moment and there was no one in the tent.
Cheng Wanwan raised the curtain and was about to walk in. Before she could take a step, she was immediately forced to exit. Good guy, this tent is too smelly. The first smell was the smell of smelly socks and smelly clothes being piled together and fermenting. The room next to her was I almost vomited my dinner.
She remembered that Sanniu was quite diligent at home and could wash his own clothes, but why did he become so sloppy in the capital...
Zhao Sidan pinched his nose and said in a low voice: "Is the third brother living in a pigsty? It stinks..."
"Ahem, there are six people living in this tent." Shen Zheng explained, "In addition to Sanniu and Cheng Bing, there are four young men aged fourteen or fifteen. Those four guys are not afraid of getting dirty at all. Their clothes are dirty. Throw it away, and wear dirty clothes when you change next time, won't it be like this if it accumulates slowly... Just wait outside, godmother."
Cheng Wanwan had a headache.
Although she disliked him very much, she also felt sorry for her son.
Fortunately, not only she and Shen Zheng came, but also Ninglan, so she asked Ninglan to go in together, and the two started to clean up the tent while holding their noses.
The sheets on Datong were all yellow, stained with sweat, and filled with all kinds of strange smells. All the bedding was pulled off, and all the clothes and socks in the room were picked up. Shen Zheng asked Zhang Jinbao to borrow a large basin, while she I bought some strong washing powder from the mall, poured half of it in and soaked it.
Cheng Wanwan and Ning Lan squatted in front of a large basin, accepted their fate and started rubbing.
Some of the soldiers nearby cast envious glances.
"Sanniu's mother is so young. She tidied his room and washed his clothes as soon as he came. Sanniu is so happy."
"Since I joined the army, I haven't seen my parents for three or four years. My parents have never come to the capital to see me. Hey, I don't know when I can see my family."
"Just now Sanniu's mother gave Zhang Jinbao their dried meat. I tasted a piece. It was so delicious."
"..."
When Cheng Wanwan was washing clothes, she heard many soldiers talking about the dried meat. They were all half-grown children, and they all said how pitiful they were.
She hammered her waist and stood up, letting Ninglan hang up the clothes to dry, and then called to the children: "So you like to eat dried meat. I brought a lot over here, let's all eat together."
She knew that San Niu had a lot of friends who got along well, so she specially prepared some extra food to bring over. Even if it wasn't enough, there were still some in the mall.
These are all comrades who have been through life and death since Sanniu. In the future, these people may be needed to save lives at critical moments, so when getting food, Cheng Wanwan was not stingy at all.
Various dried meats, some shortbread snacks, and dried dates and fruits... were all taken out and placed on a clean tablecloth on the ground.
The eyes of the soldiers present were wide-eyed: "These, can these be eaten?"
"Eat, eat." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "Sanniu is new here. Thanks to you for taking care of me. I don't have anything good to give you. Come and eat."
Zhao Sidan bit into a piece of dried meat: "My mother's cooking is delicious. If you don't eat it, I will eat it all..."
The soldiers gathered around and ate with relish.
Cheng Wanwan sat on the edge and chatted with them, asking some questions about Sanniu's situation in the army. It was similar to what was written in the letter. Although he was tired every day, he was still carefree.
Not long after, the training ground was over, and Zhao Sanniu ran over sweating profusely: "Mom, you are really here. Mom, I miss you so much!"
While he was practicing, someone whispered to him that his mother was here, but they wouldn't let her go, so he could only be absent-minded. After the practice, he immediately ran over, with Cheng Bing following behind him.
When the two of them left Dahe Village, they were not to mention fair and fair, at least they were normal, but now, they were as tanned as black coal.
Cheng Bing grew up in the military camp. Apart from turning black, there was no other change. Sanniu's change was huge. Not only did she turn black, she also grew taller and stronger. She was much taller than her. A head taller.
The tall and strong young man came towards her like a cannonball, which frightened Cheng Wanwan into retreating quickly. She did not want to be knocked down.
Zhao Sidan went up to him and hugged Zhao Sanniu's thigh: "Oh, oh, oh, third brother, I miss you so much..."
Zhao Sanniu directly lifted his brother up and threw him into the air. Then a large group of soldiers came to help catch him, which made Zhao Sidan scream.
"Mom, let's go in and talk." Zhao Sanniu opened the curtain of the tent. He thought he had gone in the wrong direction. He quickly exited and took a look. He found that he was right. Then he went in again and scratched his chin. "Why is our tent so empty?" , where are the quilts on the bed, and where are the clothes?"
Shen Zheng pointed to the distance: "Godmother, help you wash all the dirty things."
Zhao Sanniu and Cheng Bing were immediately moved, and the four little brothers who lived with him were also grateful. They were all ashamed to death.
"Wash it once every half month, which actually doesn't waste much time." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "The six of you can arrange a shift and take turns cleaning up the camp. It will be more comfortable to live in a clean place, right? Cheng Bing, you You’re the oldest, you make the arrangements, if anyone is lazy, I won’t bring dried meat to you next time.”
Cheng Bing immediately promised and issued a military order.
He grew up in a military camp, and the people around him were slovenly, so he himself was not aware of this. Now that Cheng Wanwan has confessed, he will definitely treat this matter as an important matter.
Only then did the soldiers see a lot of food on the table in the camp, divided into six equal portions. It was obviously for them, and they were all moved.
Cheng Wanwan also prepared some food for Captain Shao who brought Zhao Sanniu in. It was not convenient for her as a woman to go there, so she asked Zhao Sanniu to bring it when he recovered.
After the mother and son chatted for a while, she changed the topic: "Where is your master, where is he now?"
