Because Mi Yang was sent to the hospital, he stayed for observation for a while.
Things were busy in the military camp. It was said that a senior leader from above came to inspect. Mi Zehai and several other company commanders were so busy that they kept their feet on the ground. The senior leader from the military region did not leave. He stayed in the mountains for several months. It was said that he also set up a drama combat command center. The daily training doubled. In two days, Mi Zehai became darker and thinner.
Cheng Qing heard all this news from Mrs. Bai. If Mrs. Bai didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask a single question. She just watched Mi Zehai fall asleep tiredly after coming back, and couldn't help but prepare some special dishes for him, which he liked.
Mi Yang remembered that his father had won several military merits and there were several medals at home. He didn't worry about these things. He was still a little baby. All he could do was not cry or make a fuss at night and let the adults sleep well.
As the large-scale military exercise approached, Mi Zehai had already taken his troops away, leaving Cheng Qing alone in the barracks.
After being Xiaobai Luochuan's playmate for two more weeks, Mi Yang was finally carried away from the military camp and taken to the train station on a weekend afternoon.
Mi Yang tilted his little head in his mother's arms and looked at the train curiously. It was quite a novel experience to take a train at this time. Mi Zehai's salary was not high and Cheng Qing was also a frugal person. They bought a hard seat ticket, a rectangular cardboard ticket with a small hole cut in it to indicate that it had passed inspection.
Mi Zehai had been busy with drills in the mountains recently, so he asked the guard to send Cheng Qing and her daughter off. As soon as Cheng Qing got on the train and sat down, she saw the guard rushing back, knocking on the windows of the green train and calling her name: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law... The company commander wants you to go back! The company commander wants you to go back!"
Cheng Qing thought something serious had happened, and hurriedly followed them back. All he could think about along the way were some gunshot wounds that occurred during the maneuvers, and he almost scared himself to tears while holding his child.
When she arrived there, she found out that it was a call from Yonezawa Hai, asking her to stay for a few more days.
Cheng Qing was unsure what had happened and waited anxiously until she saw her husband three days later.
Yonezawa Hai stood at the entrance of the barracks with a bag on his back, smiling. Seeing them, he extended his hand enthusiastically, "You stayed just in time. I just came back from the division headquarters. I was supposed to be able to rush back that day to take you to the station, but something happened. I had a meeting for a few days."
Cheng Qing looked him up and down. He was darker and thinner, but his arms and legs were still there, and she couldn't see where he was missing. She was so angry that she hit him on the shoulder and said, "You scared me to death. I thought something bad had happened!"
"Yes, there is something." Yonezawa tried his best to keep his tone steady, but the corners of his mouth had already curled up a little, "I performed meritorious service in the large-scale exercise, third-class merit, and was promoted to a higher rank. Now I am at the level of a full company commander."
Cheng Qing was quite happy, but still looked at him in confusion: "Just send a telegram or write a letter to tell me about this, why did you call me back?"
Mi Zehai grinned and said, "You and Yangyang can join the army. From now on, the three of us will never have to separate again."
This time, not only Cheng Qing, but even Mi Yang who was held in his arms blinked and looked up at his biological father.
Needless to say, Mi Yang's plan to return to Shanhai Town was completely ruined.
Cheng Qing thought he was still staying here, and was happily cleaning the simple room, but a few moments later the guard came in to help pack the luggage, and tidied the bed until only the bare bed board was left. Cheng Qing was stunned and asked, "Are you moving to a new place?"
The guard said, "Yes, sister-in-law doesn't know yet, right? The company commander is also busy with work and forgot to tell you that he will be transferred to the division headquarters after his promotion this time."
Cheng Qing said: "Ah?"
The guard said, "The old commander who came back last time took a liking to several people in our battalion, including Captain Mi, and transferred them all to the division headquarters! When the battalion commander released them, his face was twitching with pain, especially Captain Mi's letter of introduction, which was delayed for three days before being issued. He was so reluctant to let them go!"
Cheng Qing also laughed when he heard it.
Mi Yang was carried into a military jeep and bumped all the way to the division headquarters. He looked at the vast mountain and forest scenery along the way, and his memory of this period was a little vague. He only remembered that his father used to work in a field military area, but the work was confidential, and the triangular military stamps never had the shipping address written on them, so he was not sure whether he had gone to the division headquarters at that time.
As for joining the army, he would have to wait another two years. However, at that time, only his mother would go. He was often sick when he was young, and his grandmother was really worried about him, so she kept him by her side and raised him. He did not live with his parents until he started elementary school. It was also in junior high school that he met Bai Luochuan again.
He, the little butterfly, flapped his wings, and it seemed that many things had happened in advance.
Mi Yang was used to taking things as they came, and since all that was happening now were good things, he just accepted them calmly. After yawning in his mother's arms, he rubbed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
Mi Yang thought about staying at the division headquarters for a while and then living in the military camp for a while, but he never expected that this experience would last for several years.
