Chapter Twenty-Three: The Man Is Gone
An Xia nodded with a smile and watched Aunt Ma give her a thumbs up.
"My uncle, they're not unreasonable."
Aunt Ma pouted, "Okay, your four uncles, just the old four, what about the other three, who in the village doesn't know, you can bring the two old hens back." ”
"Not only do I want to come back the old hen I raised, but my uncle's family also gave me fifty eggs, as well as the old hen that has been killed, Aunt Ma will have chicken soup in a while, and I will send you a bowl of it. Aunt Ma? Aunt Ma, what's wrong with you? ”
An Xia pushed Aunt Ma, who was stunned outside the house, her eyes were about to fall to the ground, and suddenly there was a loud slap, "Xia Xia, you, why do you want to come back?" ”
Anxia smiled, "I can't say that, you can try the chicken soup I made later." ”
"Okay." Aunt Ma sniffed, no wonder it was so fragrant, and suddenly she remembered that she had a business to do, and she was interrupted by Anxia.
"Xia Xia, look at my face, I wiped it once before going to bed yesterday, and my skin is much better in the morning, I felt a little rough before, but it feels much smoother this morning, and do you see if I'm a little whiter?"
An Xia took a closer look at Aunt Ma's face, it was a little more delicate, and the white has not been seen yet, but the skin is shiny, it used to be dull, and after rubbing it once, it has an oily luster, and it seems that the effect is good.
"The skin is a lot brighter, Aunt Ma, you insist on rubbing, wipe it once a night for a week, and you can see the change."
"Well, this thing is really good, if it works, you take me to the city to buy a few bottles, and it is fragrant, last night your uncle asked me, is it perfume, this is not much better than those perfumes that flush the nose, a faint floral fragrance."
An Xia was shocked, "Aunt Ma, that person is a wanderer, I also met him by chance, and I always went out to look for him in the next few days, but I didn't find it, I'm afraid I can't buy this thing." ”
As soon as she heard this, Aunt Ma showed a look of pity in her eyes, but she was a person who could think openly, so she said a few more gossips and left.
After the chicken soup was stewed, An Xia sent a bowl to Aunt Ma early, borrowed a thermos bucket from her house, and was stuffed with a few steamed buns by Aunt Ma before coming back.
She carefully put the remaining chicken leg and two chicken wings in the chicken soup into the thermos bucket first, and when she looked at it and felt that there was less meat, she tore another piece of chicken breast, then poured a jar full of soup, closed the lid and locked the door and went out to walk towards the troops behind the hillside village.
On March day, Anxia walked for nearly an hour without stopping before arriving at the army, looking at the big characters on the door of the army and the soldiers standing guard, Anxia wiped the sweat on her forehead and stepped forward.
"Hello, comrade, I'm looking for Lu Baichuan."
The little soldier standing guard glanced at An Xia strangely, this glance made An Xia blush a little, and suddenly thought about whether the little soldier would think of himself as someone from Lu Baichuan.
"Are you looking for Lu Baichuan?"
"Yes, comrade, can you please tell him about it, my name is Anxia."
"But Squadron Leader Lu Baichuan left yesterday, and he changed jobs."
This sentence is like a bolt from the blue, change jobs? Lu Baichuan changed jobs, how could it be possible, Anxia's first reaction was impossible, in his previous life, Lu Baichuan worked hard to reach the highest rank in the army and returned to the imperial capital, he has the blood of a soldier in his bones, how can he change jobs for three generations of soldiers.
"Impossible, how could Lu Baichuan be willing to leave the army? Comrade, are you kidding me. ”
The little soldier pursed his lips, his eyes were a little hesitant, "I don't know the specific situation, but Lu Baichuan's squadron has left the unit yesterday." ”
An Xia refused to believe it, "Then, then I want to see Ye Daliang, my name is An Xia, comrade, please help me find Ye Daliang out?" I want to see him. ”
Speaking of this, An Xia's eyes were already red, her head was all messy, she never believed it, how could Lu Baichuan be professional, in her previous life, half a year later, she obviously saw Lu Baichuan at the Lu family, how could he change jobs in a straight military uniform.
The little soldier saw that An Xia was emotional, and hurriedly said: "Comrade, don't worry, I'll give you a briefing." ”
An Xia held the chicken soup and stood in front of the door of the army, ten minutes later Ye Daliang ran out of the army, and when he saw An Xia at the door, he stopped and walked over after hesitating for a moment.
"Aunt Anxia......"
"Da Liang, Mr. Lu has changed jobs? It's impossible, you tell me it's fake, Mr. Lu is obviously the squadron leader, and he will be the captain in the future, he likes the army so much, he was born to be a soldier, how could he change jobs. ”
An Xia excitedly grabbed Ye Daliang's arm, with a pair of tears in his eyes, and looked at Ye Daliang with hope, hoping that he would tell him that Lu Baichuan was in the army.
Ye Daliang didn't dare to look at An Xia's eyes, he slowly lowered his head, and a muffled voice came from below, "Miss An Xia, the Lu squadron has indeed changed jobs, and it was he who asked for a job change." ”
An Xia slid down softly, and the thermal insulation poke in his hand fell down all of a sudden, Ye Daliang was so panicked that he grabbed the thermal insulation poke and carried An Xia with him.
"Miss Anxia, don't be like this, the squadron leader has something for me to tell you."
"Where did he go? Where did he go? An Xia refused to listen to Ye Daliang's words.
Ye Daliang smiled bitterly, what the captain said was right, Miss Anxia would definitely ask, but she couldn't let her know about this matter, and she was not to blame for this matter.
"The squadron leader said, don't worry, he saved another sum of money for your grandmother in the hospital, enough for the old man to be discharged from the hospital, if there is still a refund, you can buy some nutritional products for the old man to replenish his body with you."
"Ryoko, let me ask you where Lu Baichuan has gone? I'll definitely pay him back, you tell me where he went? ”
Ye Daliang gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound, he couldn't say that this was the last order that the squadron leader left for him after leaving.
"Miss Anxia, I'm sorry." Ye Daliang couldn't face An Xia, turned around and ran into the troops, An Xia quickly chased after him, but was stopped by the two soldiers standing guard at the door.
"Da Liang, Ye Da Liang, you tell me, you tell me!" An Xia shouted in her throat, but Ye Daliang ran farther and farther, and he could no longer see the sound.
She felt extremely uncomfortable and wronged, what happened, Lu Baichuan would take off the military uniform he had worn for so many years, how much he loved the profession of a soldier, why was he professional, something must have happened, what happened?
Anxia stood at the gate of the army, looking at the gate of the army, the grief in her heart became more and more intense, and tears finally came out of her eyes, because she was so sad, her voice was held in her throat and tears could not come out, she bit her lip and kept crying, crying so that the two little soldiers standing guard were helpless.
Fortunately, she stood for a while and left, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Anxia cried all the way, something must have happened, if Ye Daliang didn't say it, she would go to the army to find him every day.
