836th Unit.
Wang Lu hung up the phone with his son with a beaming face. He was very proud of himself and thought that with his son's hard work, his daughter-in-law should be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
It’s not easy!
It is really not easy to marry Miss Tian Xin to your family!
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the eldest son was very hardworking. If Mei Zi knew this, she would definitely be very happy.
Thinking of this, Wang Lu couldn't sit still anymore.
No, he had to go back and talk to his wife and make her happy as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, when he saw the guard just after he walked out of the door, he slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Oh, I almost forgot, Xiao Zhou, go drive my car to find Chen Gang and take them to the train station."
His son is trying hard to pursue his wife, so as a father he cannot let him down and should take the initiative. As for sincerity, his family definitely has it in abundance.
Should we prepare some food for the kids on the way? They will be real relatives soon.
"Yes! Chief!"
After Xiao Zhou left, another guard followed the leader and asked with a smile, "Chief, is there anything good going on?"
Wang Lu came back to his senses and laughed happily: "It's a good thing, a great good thing!"
"What good news?"
"It's my son. Where did you come from?" He was shocked. Besides, his son met Miss Tian Xin and was pursuing her. Is this something he can tell? Don't think he doesn't know. This old man is also thinking about Miss Tian Xin as his daughter-in-law.
Political Commissar Liu was speechless: "This is the door to my office!"
Hearing this, Wang Lv looked up and saw that it was his old friend's office. "Well, something happened at home, so I have to go back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he strode away. His back looked guilty no matter how you looked at him.
At this point, Political Commissar Liu became even more suspicious, and cursed with a smile: "This old guy must have done something to let me down."
But after finding out what his old friend had done behind his back, Political Commissar Liu could no longer laugh and kept scolding Brigade Leader Wang for a month.
Of course, this is a later story, so let’s not discuss it for now.
And the other side.
Chen Gang fell into silence as he looked at the car that was delivered to his door before he went to borrow it.
"Why are you standing at the door? Let Comrade Xiao Zhou come in and sit for a while." Seeing that her husband went out and did not return to the house, Tian Yu took a moment out of her busy schedule to stick her head out and take a look. Only then did she discover that Old Chen was glaring at the guard of Brigade Wang.
She warmly welcomed the person into the house. Tian Yu poured tea for the person, brought some snacks, and after settling Xiao Zhou down, she took her husband back to the bedroom to continue packing.
"Lv. Wang takes such good care of us." After entering the bedroom, Tian Yu picked out clothes suitable for the temperature in his hometown from the closet and said with a grateful smile on his face.
Chen Gang has already figured out the general idea at this moment. He is afraid that Wang Linkun may have some good news.
The brigade commander is not taking care of his subordinates, this is more like taking care of relatives.
Thinking of this, he shook his head with amusement.
"What are you doing? Help me pack up. By the way, have you made an appointment with Xunxun? I hope that little brat doesn't take the wrong train?" The eldest son was studying in the provincial capital, and they got on the train from the city. Time was tight, and they couldn't pick him up alone, so they could only ask their son to get on the train from the provincial capital railway station.
Chen Gang came back to his senses, picked up a piece of clothing and folded it skillfully: "Don't worry, my son is already 16 years old, it's not like he would get on the wrong train. Besides, there is only one train to Shanghai a day."
"What if I get on the wrong bus?"
"No, Comrade Xiaoyu, if that brat can even get on the wrong bus, wouldn't all these years of training be in vain?" As a father, Chen Gang knows his eldest son very well. Although Xunxun looks more like his father-in-law, his personality is exactly the same as his.
Tian Yu rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Forget it, you men are all the same. You are no longer needed here. You are in the way. Go to school and pick up Zhaozhao and Guoguo."
Chen Gang touched his nose in disgust, put down the clothes in his hands obediently, got up and walked out.
There is a reason why the couple has been in harmony for so many years.
Well, whatever my wife says is what it is.
First time driving long distance.
After leaving Beijing and seeing the desolate scenery, Tian Mi finally realized what was happening.
It was the 1970s, there was no navigation, no mobile phones or anything like that, could we really find the right direction
She thought so and asked so.
Lou Luhui was driving at the moment. Hearing his wife's question, he smiled and said, "It's okay. We have a national map, so we know the general direction. Besides, there is a road sign every few miles. At worst, it's the same if we ask someone."
After listening to her husband's explanation, Tian Mi understood it immediately, and she also admired the long-distance drivers of this era even more. Anyone with a poor sense of direction would probably be confused even if they just asked verbally.
For example, I find it difficult to read a map.
After resolving her doubts, Tian Mi no longer looked at the bare scenery outside, but concentrated on playing with the children.
The little ones didn't know they were going on a long trip yet, they just thought they were going somewhere to play, and they were so excited.
The jeep drove southeast.
After driving for about three more hours, the car finally stopped in an open space.
Wang Linkun got out of the car first and walked around the area to make sure there was no danger nearby before nodding to Lou Luhui who was in the driver's seat.
It’s no wonder that they are so vigilant, people these days are really simple, but the desperadoes are also really cruel.
Especially for this kind of robbery on the way, if something goes wrong, you can basically just accept the defeat, and the possibility of finding the criminal is very slim.
She played with the child for a while before she couldn't hold it anymore.
It’s okay where the road is flat, but if the road is bad, you will feel dizzy after a few minutes.
Tian Mi used to only get seasick, but now she gets car sick too.
Not only her, but also the third sister Tian Xin, especially since she was sitting in the last row.
At first, the little girl didn't believe it and firmly stated that she never gets carsick. She took out her books and studied diligently. But after about ten minutes, her eyes turned into mosquito coils and she muttered and complained that she wanted to vomit.
In the end, the two sisters just lay down, each holding a child and falling into a deep sleep.
Lou Luhui bent down and took his son out of his wife's arms before saying, "We've been going for about 200 kilometers. Let's stop and rest for a while."
Tian Mi got off the car and took a deep breath of the fresh scent of grass and soil brought by the autumn wind. He then exhaled a few breaths of foul air. Only then did he feel that the nauseous feeling in his chest was relieved a lot.
However, when she heard her husband's words clearly, her face wrinkled again. Considering the more than one hour in Beijing, the speed was only 40 kilometers per hour, right
Well, maybe not yet.
When we set off, we had two kettles in the car.
It was also filled with hot water and secured with ropes.
The hot water was mainly for the children, and Lou Luhui skillfully prepared milk powder for the twins.
Tian Mi took out food, white flour buns, and a large jar of braised abalone and shrimp meat with chili peppers and edamame. It was cooked in a salty and spicy way, otherwise it would easily go bad in this weather.
In this desolate wilderness, it is quite comfortable for a person to hold a teacup of hot water and eat steamed buns with vegetables.
The few of them ate and chatted, and soon their stomachs were appeased.
After eating and drinking, everyone strolled around and relaxed for about ten minutes before getting in the car and setting off again.
This time, the person sitting in the driver's seat was Wang Linkun.
After the car started, Tian Mi asked curiously, "It will be dark in three or four hours, right? Can we find a guesthouse to stay overnight?"
Lou Lu replied: "Yes, it's only about a hundred kilometers to Q City."
Hearing this, Tian Mi felt relieved: "It's good that we can catch up."
These days it's dark at night and the roads are uneven, so driving is very dangerous.
The most important thing is that along the way, she has seen many graves made of mud on the roadside.
It's creepy to look at it during the day, let alone at night... I just can't even imagine it.
Fortunately, the journey was quite peaceful. Not only were there robberies, but we also didn't encounter many cars.
However, just as Tian Mi finished his sigh, he saw a few people standing on the roadside not far ahead, and he instantly became nervous: "Hui Hui, there are people ahead."
"Don't be afraid, that's the guide."
"Lead the way? What do you mean?"
Lou Lu replied: "To put it simply, it means making money by giving directions to drivers who don't know the way."
There is actually such a business? Tian Mi turned around and looked through the car window at the people who had been passed by the car, feeling emotional.
There are people with business acumen in every era.
Seeing that his wife was interested, Lou Luhui smiled and told her in detail about the general charging standards of these people.
The car drove for another ten minutes while the couple chatted and laughed.
Just when Tian Mi couldn't bear it anymore and was about to lie down with the baby in her arms again, she heard Wang Linkun, who was driving, suddenly say, "Brother, there's something wrong with the car in front."
As he spoke, he had already turned the steering wheel and drove up the small slope to the side, ready to avoid it.
Lou Luhui also saw that the truck in the distance was going so fast that the dust on the dirt road was blown up.
At this speed, on such an uneven road, it is very easy to roll over due to the severe bumps.
He frowned, and at the same time as he told his wife to hold the child tightly and sit still, he became alert in his heart.
Unexpectedly, when they took the initiative to avoid the vehicle, the other party slammed on the brakes and almost stopped next to the jeep.
Their car was stuck on a small slope.
Seeing this, the men's faces instantly tensed.
Even Tian Mi and Tian Xin in the back seat subconsciously hugged their children tighter.
Just as Lou Luhui and Wang Linkun's hands were touching the weapons under the seat, the truck window was rolled down.
A face popped out of the car window.
He was a middle-aged man. Apart from his pale face and frightened expression, there was nothing special about him.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Lou Luhui and the others' faces all changed: "Comrade from the People's Liberation Army, help! There are robbers chasing me from behind, and they are driving trucks to rob people!"
