Chapter 180: Homecoming
As a big country with many infrastructure madness, it is about to enter the new century, and the highway from the capital to the provincial capital of Xijiang is already very smooth, and there will not be as many car bandits and road blockers as in remote areas.
However, the first time I drove a long way, and I was alone with a dog, Lin Yi was worried that there would be moths on the road, so in addition to having lunch in the service area and resting for an hour, he couldn't enter the city along the way, starting at less than six o'clock in the morning and arriving at Xijiang Provincial Capital at about seven o'clock in the evening.
She had been to the provincial military district, but she didn't know the way.
Fortunately, I did enough homework this time, and I brought all kinds of maps, and when I arrived in the provincial capital, I drove directly to the car, planning to bring things to Xiao Yan, find a place near there to have a meal, and rest for one night before going home.
Although it wasn't too late, she still planned to play it safe.
First, it is too tiring to drive for a day, fatigue driving is unwise, second, it is easy to get sleepy when driving alone at night, and the probability of accidents increases greatly, and third, there is no one at home who wants her to return home, and the desire to rush is actually not so strong.
Staying until half past eight, when he finally saw the gate of the provincial military district, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, took the dog out of the car, and found the soldier who was standing guard in the sentry box and told him what he meant.
I thought that driving directly to the place would cause less trouble to Uncle Wang, but Brother Bing was extremely surprised:
"The special combat team is not here, they are managed independently, and I don't know where the specific location is!"
"Huh?"
Lin Yi was helpless, and then after thinking about it, he understood what was going on, so he had to register, followed the person into the communication room, and dialed Wang Mingyang's office.
The phone number on the side of the special combat team can only be called by them, but she can't get in, only this number seems to be a landline for external communication, or Wang Mingyang's military rank is high enough, so it is more normal.
Fortunately, there were no twists and turns this time, the phone rang twice, and Lin Yi heard Wang Mingyang's familiar voice.
"It's so late, but what's the matter?"
Lin Yi reluctantly told the matter, and didn't mention Xiao Yan's name, only said that when she came back from school, someone asked her to help carry something.
Wang Mingyang understood as soon as he heard it.
There is only one of his subordinates who is from the capital, and he obviously gave Xiao Yan annual leave, but he slipped back to the army a few days later, and asked him if there was something at home, he didn't say anything, he just stayed in the training ground and equipment room every day, learning all kinds of exercises.
called the Xiao family to inquire, and learned that this was a problem with urging marriage, so I smiled and passed.
Although Xiao Yan's age made him understand his family's feelings very well, as the leader of this special force, it was not easy to interfere too much, so he could only respect his ideas and let him do so.
Hearing that the Xiao family sent Lin Yi to deliver New Year's goods to Xiao Yan, Wang Mingyang hung up the phone, and his eyebrows were raised.
The Xiao family has been in the army for three generations, and the family has long been used to it, in the past, Xiao Yan couldn't go home for the New Year in the army, but no one gave him anything!
The south is not as snowy as the north, but the night wind in this wax moon is still cold to the bone.
On the dark training ground, Xiao Yan was dressed thinly, doing pull-ups up and down, and white smoke was emitting from the top of his head.
Wang Mingyang searched for a long time before finding someone, walked up to him, and couldn't help laughing: "Everyone goes to the indoor training ground in this weather, what are you doing here alone?"
"Commissar?"
Xiao Yan let go of his hand and stood firmly, scooped up a towel to wipe his sweat.
"Indoor space is limited, I'm on vacation, and I don't compete with people for space. Besides, you don't care about the weather. ”
“……”
It is said that other people's consciousness is low, and they are all greedy for comfort and squeeze indoors, as if you are the most prominent!
"I didn't mean that......"
Xiao Yan wiped his sweaty hands for a moment:
"I mean ......"
"I know! You just think that you are on vacation, and it is not easy to compete with others for resources, and the indoor training ground of our army is still too small to recruit. ”
Wang Mingyang waved his hand a little weakly, signaling to reveal the matter.
This person is good at everything, but he is not very good at speaking, nor is he low EQ or low IQ, but he can't keep his mouth shut and always says something misleading.
Fortunately, everyone who knew him well knew about him, and no one was really angry with him.
"Think before you talk outside, and think more about those you don't know. But this is not the point of my coming to you, the point is that your family entrusted someone to bring you New Year's goods, and she couldn't find the door of our base, so she sent it to the provincial military district, you go and get it back. ”
There is no supporting guest house here, and people from outside the army have never been accepted, even if Lin Yi's family background is like this, it is not good to let her come directly, so she can only let Xiao Yan go by herself.
Wang Mingyang has always loved him, and Xiao Yan also knew that he reminded himself that he really didn't see the outside, and this topic was never mentioned.
"Give me New Year's goods?"
Like Wang Mingyang, when he first heard this, his first reaction was that something was wrong.
Ordinary people, if a son goes out to serve in the army, maybe the family will remember it very much, thinking about bringing things to the child, his family is in the army, and he doesn't have this habit at all, which is abrupt.
"Who's the trust?"
Having said that, he actually already had the answer in his heart.
Xiao Yan was annoyed in his heart, and he had already told his family, stop making small moves!
"Lin Yi! This girl is going home from vacation, stop by the way. She said that she bought a car and drove it back by herself! It was convenient to carry things! Hey! Don't look at her age, she dared to walk such a long way! The tiger father has no dog and daughter, and she is full of courage! I really didn't expect it! It's a good example!"
Wang Mingyang squinted and clapped his hands in praise, but actually stared at Xiao Yan's expression.
If these two children had meant that, he would have raised his hands in favor of the marriage!
Xiao Yan couldn't see anything with a cold face, but his eyes drifted for a moment, and he subconsciously pinched the towel tightly and said:
"Political commissar, I can't leave here, if you find someone to go, you will say that I am on a mission. ”
"Oh?"
Wang Mingyang's voice couldn't help but rise, his eyes were like eagle falcons, staring at him tightly.
"All of us in the team who haven't taken a vacation have tasks, and the logistics department will already get off work at this time, you are idle, who will help you?
I was inexplicably annoyed, like a heart that had been cut open and stared at to find out something.
Xiao Yan lowered his eyelids, put a towel on his shoulder, and was about to go back to the dormitory:
"Then wait for tomorrow, the logistics work, let them go!"
"Xiao Xiao! You are not kind to do this! The little girl has brought you things from afar, but you are obviously free, but you don't take them, she has offended you?"
"No ......"
"That little girl is alone, she is not familiar with life in the provincial capital, and at night, she doesn't know if she has eaten, whether she has a place to live, it's not offended you, can you ignore it like this? Besides, she has such a big dog, I'm afraid the general hotel won't let her stay, maybe she has to nest in the car for a night, such a cold day, I don't know if I will meet bad people, whether it will freeze!"
"I ......"
Xiao Yan's throat was astringent, his hands clenched and loosened, and finally let go.
"My family likes her very much, and has always wanted to match the two of us, my head is tied to the belt of my pants, maybe I will be glorious one day, such a good girl, I don't want to hurt her...... Political commissar, you can say hello over there and make arrangements, and just say that I am not on a mission......"
"If you really don't mean that, just go openly! You don't even see a human face now, doesn't that mean that you have a ghost in your heart?"
Xiao Yan ran away as if he was running away, Wang Mingyang took out a cigarette leaning on the parallel bars, sighed and smoked, and danced with the wind.
They are all from this line of work, and he also retreated to the second line due to injury before marrying a wife and having children, Xiao Yan's entanglement, he understands.
The provincial military region was very enthusiastic, not only took her to the canteen for a meal, but also specially provided Black Tiger with a military dog ration, which made Black Tiger quite excited, as if he was returning to his hometown.
After eating, she drove the car to the military region's guest house, where the comrades from the provincial military district checked her in and waited with her for half an hour.
The little comrade often comes out to purchase, and he is familiar with the military region, everyone knows him, and Lin Yi didn't mention verifying the documents or anything.
After all, bringing things to relatives and friends in the army is not like bringing things to relatives and friends in prison, there will be people sneaking around for a few rounds.
The little comrade smiled brightly with white teeth, and he had no resentment of being called out by the leader to work at night, only saying that the task was tight at the end of the year, and he would just bring things back.
Lin Yi knew Xiao Yan's situation, and said embarrassedly, "It's troublesome" and "I'm making trouble for you", so he went downstairs with someone and handed over the things.
In the military district guest house, the night was peaceful.
Early the next morning, Lin Yi packed up and checked out and drove home with his dog.
Time has come to 1999, the flood has passed several months, the flood caused by the road damage has been repaired, halfway to change the road twice, without much effort, at noon, Lin Yi's car drove into the family home of Shanlin No. 2 Middle School.
