On December 6th, the cold wind howled and the wind and sand raged!
On the desert road from Eqi to Jiuquan, a jeep with military plates was running fast.
In the car, Zhou Yang and Fan Debiao looked out the window with a heavy heart.
This morning, under the reluctant eyes of Zhou Ping, Tana, Wu Zhina and others, they left Tuoshan Coal Mine and embarked on their way home!
Although under the guidance of Uzhina's father Bilig, the two re-planned their return route and decided to take Jiuquan and Lancheng, and then return to Saibei Province via the Bao-Lanzhou Railway.
And Bilige also promised to send a car to take them to Jiuquan!
But the two of them were still in a bad mood!
Zhou Yang was naturally very reluctant to part with his eldest brother after just a few days together.
After all, after this departure, we still don’t know when we will meet next, it could be months or years, it’s all possible!
Fan Debiao, on the other hand, was thinking about Uzhina. Just a few days after the two of them confirmed their relationship, they had to face separation when they were in love with each other.
There is nothing more cruel than this in the world!
The most important thing is that Uzhina will stay with her father in Eqi this winter and will not go back until after the New Year!
Under such circumstances, Fan Debiao couldn't do anything even if he came to see her first.
It was too far to come, and it would take several days on the road.
Secondly, Fan Debiao's job doesn't allow for such a long vacation, so if he wants to meet, he has to wait for Uzhina to return.
Don't talk about writing letters. Eqi is now under the jurisdiction of Gan Province. Letters from Saibei Province must first go to Lancheng, then be sent to Jiuquan, and then to Eqi.
It has been more than three months since a letter from Zhou Yang was sent and it has not arrived. I don’t know if it is on the way or if it has been lost.
All in all, if you rely on communication to relieve the pain of lovesickness, forget it!
After being silent for a while, Zhou Yang kicked Fan Debiao and prepared to talk to him for a while!
"What's wrong?"
"Just now, I saw what your father-in-law said to you, and I saw your naughty head nodding around. Is there something good going on?" Zhou Yang said.
"A dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory!"
Then Fan Debiao said again: "Uncle Bilig said that since Uzhina has recognized me, he will not object, but the premise is that I give Uzhina a stable home!"
"Is this urging marriage?" Zhou Yang asked in surprise.
"No, Uncle Bilige wants me to change my job!"
"What do you mean, do you want to retire?"
"He wanted me to leave the special service force and transfer to the ordinary force. In his words, there was no future in the special service force!"
Zhou Yang nodded. He agreed with Bilige on this point.
The Secret Service is the secret service. It sounds awesome, but it's actually not that good.
Zhou Yang does not deny that the comrades on the secret front are indeed great, but the work of the special service personnel is not only hard, but also dangerous.
Once assigned to a mission, they often cannot go home for months or even years. Even when they go home, they are already wearing the national flag... No... most special service personnel do not have such treatment. They often It is a silent death.
Obviously, Bilige also knew this.
He didn't want to object to his daughter being with Fan Debiao, but as a father, he didn't want his daughter to be so worried every day, or even to be a widow.
"What do you think?" Zhou Yang looked at Fan Debiao and asked.
"I...I agree!"
Then Fan Debiao continued: "When I return to Qingcheng in two days, I will return to the army first. On the one hand, I will send these translated materials back to the project department. On the other hand, I also want to talk to the leader about this matter! "
"That means you won't go back to Babaoliang Village with me?"
"Well, that's it for now!"
"OK!"
Then, the car fell into silence again.
After several hours of driving, the jeep finally arrived at Jiuquan, and then the two of them bought tickets and rushed to Lancheng.
.......
Three days later!
With the sound of the whistle, the green train finally arrived in Qingcheng, the capital of Saibei Province!
In the sleeper car, Fan Debiao has packed up and is ready to get off!
As soon as the train stopped, he stood up, said "take care" to Zhou Yang, and got off the train with his suitcase!
Looking at this guy's leaving figure, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
He knew very well that this parting had a different meaning.
Fan Derbiao not only went back to report on his duties, but also talked about his transfer to the army. Once this was approved, he would no longer be a member of the special service.
So, if this is the case, if the higher-ups send someone to "protect" him in the future, it won't be this kid.
Maybe in a few days, I will find a new partner!
To be honest, Fan Debiao is quite good.
Although he looks naive on the surface, he is actually as considerate as his hair.
The most important thing is that he knows how to advance and retreat, and knows what things should be taken care of and what things should be closed.
Occasionally, when he was bored, he could still tease him. If he had a choice, Zhou Yang really didn't want to let him leave.
But there was no way, he couldn't delay Lao Fan!
At the same time, Zhou Yang was also looking forward to it.
What issues will Lao Fan report when he returns to the project department this time? Will he share his design talents with the people above him as he expected?
With these complicated emotions, the green train set off again, and then headed for Ning City with a "clop" and "clop"!
At seven o'clock in the morning on December 10, the train finally pulled into Ningshi Railway Station.
Zhou Yang put on thick clothes, packed his luggage, and got out of the car!
When he got off the train, Zhou Yang was startled by the sight in front of him.
All I saw was a vast expanse of white. The entire Ningshi Railway Station was covered with heavy snow inside and outside, and heavy snow continued to float in the sky without any intention of stopping.
People who have never lived in the north cannot imagine the scene of snow here!
Snowflakes are falling all over the sky, and the sky and earth are vast, as if there is only one color left in the whole world.
It sounds very romantic, but in fact it is not like this for the local people.
It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, but if the snow is too heavy, it will turn into a disaster - a white disaster!
After walking out of the train station, Zhou Yang took a look on the street and took some simple measurements.
The snow in the urban area has exceeded 30 centimeters, and as expected, it is even thicker in the suburbs.
More importantly, Ning City is located at the southernmost tip of Saibei Province, less than 100 kilometers away from Pingcheng in northern Shanxi.
There is such heavy snow in the urban area of Lianning City. You can imagine what it will be like in the grassland pastoral areas further north.
As expected, the snowstorm in pastoral areas has already begun.
But these things were not his thing to worry about, so Zhou Yang's attention shifted to other places.
Seeing that the state-owned hotel outside the train station was open for business, Zhou Yang immediately went in with his suitcase.
I ordered a pot of milk tea and five large meat buns, and then started eating.
After finishing breakfast, he looked at his watch and saw that it was almost half past seven. He immediately walked into the bus station across the road with his suitcase.
But instead of buying a ticket back to Yunshan County, he bought a ticket to Feng County.
That's right, Zhou Yang plans to go to the fertilizer factory to see his parents before going home.
After all, my parents have always been worried about my brother. They have lost contact with him for six years.
Since I have already visited my eldest brother and know that he is living a good life and is married, I should talk to my parents to reassure them!
