Xihe stayed with Mrs. Xia at home, while calmly waiting for Ji Changqing's telegram. A month later, he finally received the notice to set off.
Mrs. Xia burst into tears and reluctantly said: "Be safe on the road, call home when you get to the camp, take care of yourself there, and tell grandma if you are wronged..."
Touching Xihe's little face, he couldn't bear to let go.
Xihe was also very uncomfortable and couldn't help but said: "Grandma, why don't I go and stay with you at home."
When Mrs. Xia heard this, she immediately let go and pushed her into the station: "Go, go, don't be late." Ouch, silly girl, you are talking nonsense.
Xihe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only say goodbye to Ji's mother, and finally hugged Mrs. Xia and entered the station with the Ji family and his son. Fearing that something might happen to her on the way, Ji's father decided to take Ji Changyun to see her off and visit his son by the way.
Mrs. Xia stretched her neck and reluctantly left until her girl disappeared.
The train rumbled, passing through mountains and plains, and finally arrived at its destination after three days and three nights. As soon as it left the station, I saw two men in military uniforms.
Xihe's eyes lit up, and he walked over with the two father and son: "I am Xia He, may I ask, comrades, are you here to pick me up?"
The two men quickly looked at the three of them, and then a smile appeared on their faces: "Hello, Comrade Xia, Battalion Commander Ji asked us to pick you up. Please follow us this way."
He took the things from their hands and took them to a jeep.
Along the way, through conversations, Xihe also found out that the superior leaders came to inspect today and Ji Changqing couldn't leave, so he asked them to come and pick him up.
The scenery outside the window recedes rapidly, and the scenery of the northern country comes into view, and the autumn mood is getting stronger.
The car finally entered a family courtyard and stopped in front of a row of bungalows. Two young men helped them carry the salute to the last room, pointed to the room next to them and said with a smile: "This is Comrade Ji Changye's room."
Xihe looked over and saw that the window sill was empty, not a single piece of clothing was hung in the yard, and things were arranged in a messy manner.
Looking at the doors of other residents, there are shoes on the windowsill, vegetables and beans are planted in the yard, and children's and adults' clothes are hung on ropes. It looks like they belong to someone else's house.
She knew it in her heart. It seemed that even if Xia Luo followed, she still wouldn't be able to enter the family home.
This month, Xia Luo's incident caused a stir in the village. The villagers did not expect her to be so courageous, and they were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
But what happened to Xia Luo when she got here? The distance is too far and many are unclear.
Father Ji's trip was, firstly, to see her off, and secondly, to inquire about the situation.
Xia Luo's matter couldn't stand up to scrutiny. Even if Xihe didn't pursue it and someone wanted to investigate, she wouldn't be able to get anything done. And Ji Changye, who hangs out with her, will definitely be held accountable and may lose his job.
The Ji family was naturally anxious.
Opening the door of Ji Changqing's room, he saw at a glance that the bed, cabinets, and tables were neatly arranged, as if they were specially prepared to welcome her arrival.
Suddenly, Xihe's gaze paused. She quickly walked to the window sill and opened the red cloth covering the table. Inside was a sewing machine.
She walked to the cabinet and opened it gently. There were different styles of fabrics neatly placed inside.
Xihe's heart felt hot, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
After putting away their luggage, the two comrades handed Xihe to an aunt and asked her to take her to familiarize herself with the environment.
"This is the canteen, and this is where the children go to school. The market is held once every half month, and the next one is exactly three days later. It's time to take a break. Let your old man Ji take you there."
The fat aunt had a loving smile in her eyes, an apron around her waist, and a loud voice.
While introducing people, he also explained in detail that Xihe's name was 'Aunt Lin', that's his 'brothers and sisters', etc. He was very enthusiastic.
Xihe responded with a smile, but was shocked by the name 'Lao Ji' in his heart.
At noon, the fat aunt took Xihe to eat in the cafeteria, and introduced her to everyone as Ji Changqing's little daughter-in-law. Everyone came over to talk curiously, their eyes full of amazement: "How could that big black guy Changqing get such a good-looking wife?" !”
Xihe smiled brightly: "I think my old Ji is quite fair."
boom--
There was laughter from behind.
She was stunned, turned around, and saw a group of people standing behind her.
Ji Changqing stood in front of a middle-aged man, tall and straight, expressionless, and the roar of laughter came from a group of soldiers behind him.
Xihe blushed and held the lunch box, feeling too embarrassed to leave or stay.
The middle-aged man laughed and said: "Changqing, is this your wife?"
Ji Changqing nodded: "Back to the leader, yes."
The middle-aged man glanced around his dark face, then looked at the honest and honest black-faced man behind him, and nodded: "Well, he's a lot fairer compared to Liu Santan."
Suddenly the laughter became louder, and Ji Changqing seemed helpless in his eyes: "Leader."
The middle-aged man also knew how to give up when he was happy, and told him, "Since you are married, live a good life," and then went to dinner with others.
After returning home, Xihe started to clean up the house. Ji's father and son had nothing to do, so they borrowed the hoe from next door to help Xihe cultivate the land in front of the house, and later use it to grow some vegetables for themselves.
At around three o'clock, Ji Changqing came back with Ji Changye.
The Ji family father and son immediately stopped messing around, pushed Ji Changye into the house, and began to question him.
Xihe and Ji Changqing stood outside the door: "How is Xia Luo?"
Ji Changqing sat down on the stool, avoiding people, and held her white and tender hand: "I lived in it for a few days and was taken out by Chang Ye. Now I rent a house outside."
Xihe nodded, which was pretty much what she expected.
Ji Changqing sneered: "Unless Chang Ye doesn't want to do it anymore, the two of them can't be together."
Xihe was surprised. This was the first time she saw Ji Changqing express his anger so openly.
Ji Changqing lowered his eyes and played with her fingers, and explained softly: "Xia Luo has not been locked up in there for two days, and he is eager to find connections to get her out. If it weren't for my sake, he would have been finished."
Ji Changqing really felt that Ji Changye was blinded, otherwise why would he be so confused? There is no sense at all.
Xihe pursed his lips and held his hand: "Let's leave him alone and let them do whatever they want, okay?"
She didn't want this to affect their lives.
Ji Changqing slowly smiled: "Okay."
I don’t know how Ji’s father talked to Ji Changye, but there was anger on his face when he left. He originally agreed to have fun for two days and then left without wanting to stay.
Xihe raised his head and Ji Changqing smiled: "Go home."
Xihe nodded: "Yes."
Ji Changqing goes to work in the morning, comes back at noon, and returns home around 5:30 in the evening. If there is training, it may be later.
That day, he came back with a lunch box and knocked on the door. A voice came from inside: "Wait a minute."
The door opened, and a slim and graceful figure was revealed: "Long..."
