Chapter 448 5 Military Service in the 60s
When it was time for dinner, the bus became even more lively, with everyone taking out their own food, making the smells even stronger.
Tuanzi ate an egg and some cornbread in Xie Qingyu's arms, and Xie Qingyu ate about the same amount.
The old lady across the street kept wanting to feed the little dumpling, so she opened a can of food and gave him some.
In her short life of just over two years, Tuanzi had never eaten so many delicious things in a single day, and her eyes lit up.
Xie Qingyu patted his head.
As darkness fell, the noise in the car subsided, but a different smell followed.
Many people crawl under chairs to sleep at night, and the smell from under their shoes is so strong it's unpleasant to the nose.
Tuanzi had already fallen asleep in Xie Qingyu's arms.
Holding a child in her arms was really tiring; Xie Qingyu felt like she couldn't lift her arms anymore.
She simply stood up, placed the dumpling in her spot, and then stood up to protect it from falling with her legs.
Standing up made me feel a little better; the smell wasn't so unpleasant.
After sitting on the train for most of the day, Xie Qingyu was already feeling quite exhausted.
When the old lady saw Xie Qingyu stand up, she squeezed to the side, gesturing for Xie Qingyu to sit down.
Xie Qingyu shook her head and refused, saying she wanted to stand for a while.
My butt hurts from sitting all the way, and only half a day has passed; there are still two days and one night to go.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingyu felt that she couldn't suffer in vain.
Xie Qingyu couldn't call out all night. In the middle of the night, she couldn't stay awake any longer, so she sat on the ground and dozed off for a while, but she didn't dare to sleep soundly.
The night passed in a daze, and as dawn broke, sounds gradually returned to the car.
Those who need to wash up should wash up, and those who need to eat should eat.
Tuanzi woke up too, probably even earlier than Xie Qingyu, and stared at Xie Qingyu with her eyes open.
When Xie Qingyu woke up, she saw him staring intently at her, clearly pleased to see her awake.
"Tuanzi is awake?" Xie Qingyu patted his head.
Amidst the sounds of a child crying beside her, Xie Qingyu realized at this moment how fortunate she was to have such an easy-to-care-for child as Tuanzi.
Otherwise, if there were such a noisy crying sound throughout the entire carriage, she was really afraid that she would not be able to help herself and would hit him.
After taking Tuanzi to the toilet and wash her face, the old lady had already bought breakfast when we came back.
"This bun is for Little Tuanzi." The old lady smiled and handed the bun to Tuanzi, not giving Xie Qingyu a chance to refuse.
I bought these steamed buns on the train; the white flour buns look delicious.
"How can this be? This is too valuable, we can't accept it." Xie Qingyu said, trying to put the item back.
“It’s not for you, it’s for the child. I’m getting off the train today, and I’m hoping my daughter can have a child like this,” the old woman said.
Xie Qingyu couldn't refuse her, so she had no choice but to give her four more eggs.
“Giving birth is a joyous occasion, and eggs are a must to nourish the body. Take these; I brought a lot with me on the way, and I can’t finish them all.” Xie Qingyu spoke firmly, stuffing the eggs into the old woman’s bag before she could refuse.
Seeing Xie Qingyu's firm attitude, the old lady stopped trying to force it back.
"You're so beautiful, I imagine your husband must be handsome too, otherwise you wouldn't have given birth to such a beautiful baby." The old lady praised Tuanzi countless times along the way.
Xie Qingyu could no longer find Nie Shenyuan's appearance in the original owner's memories. The two only spent one day together, and they did things while they were not in a good state of mind. However, it seems that the original owner took a liking to him at first sight, so his appearance must not be bad.
Actually, just by looking at Nie Lao Da and Nie Lao Er, you can tell that Nie Shenyuan is definitely not bad-looking.
“His father is good-looking too,” Xie Qingyu said with a smile.
The old lady got off the bus in the afternoon.
This station is a major one, and many people got off, making the seats much more spacious.
The seat next to Xie Qingyu became empty, so Tuanzi could rest there for a while.
The seat inside was by the window, and Tuanzi seemed to have found a new source of amusement, staring out the window without blinking.
Xie Qingyu was also patient. Along the way, they passed through many places, including plains and mountains. Xie Qingyu pointed them out to him one by one, and even told him what kind of trees they encountered.
But these trees flashed by so quickly, I don't know if he could remember them.
As the journey progressed, the number of people on the bus decreased, allowing Xie Qingyu to stroll around and stretch her muscles while the bus was moving.
By the afternoon of the second day, we finally arrived at the final stop.
The remaining passengers on the train had become quite familiar with each other after a day, and when they arrived at the station, someone even helped Xie Qingyu unload her luggage.
Although Tuanzi was quite interested in the things in the car, she couldn't stay awake for two days, and her little face looked listless.
Even so, he still forced himself to stay strong and clung tightly to Xie Qingyu's sleeve, following her side.
Looking at Tuanzi's condition, Xie Qingyu decided that if no one could pick her up after they went out, she would take Tuanzi to Yangcheng for the night to rest, and then find a car to go to the military base the next day.
However, as soon as they exited the station, Xie Qingyu spotted the people who were there to pick them up.
Two men in military uniforms stood there, holding up a sign with the three large characters "Nie Shenyuan" written on it.
It's likely that even Nie Shenyuan wasn't sure who was coming, so this kind of sign was obviously the safest bet.
Xie Qingyu led Tuanzi that way, and the two soldiers holding up the sign over there obviously saw Xie Qingyu as well.
"Is that the person we're looking to pick up?"
"It shouldn't be, right? Didn't Vice Minister Nie say that his family members were coming to accompany him on his military mission? Who is this? Is she his sister? Are all his family members this good-looking?"
"Is this his wife? I remember Vice Minister Nie submitted a marriage application."
"No way, his wife hasn't written a letter or sent anything."
"........"
"And didn't they say they were going to get a divorce anyway?"
"Too."
"That's probably not it, they were probably asking for directions."
Before the two could finish their whispered conversation, Xie Qingyu had already walked up to them.
Upon seeing Xie Qingyu's face clearly, both of them felt a little embarrassed.
Xie Qingyu wore a simple white shirt and dark blue pants, her hair neatly tied back, unlike the two braids of the female soldiers in the art troupe, but she still looked very pretty.
Her eyes were also round and seemed to be able to speak.
"Hello, comrades. I am Nie Shenyuan's family member. Are you here to pick us up?" Xie Qingyu asked.
"Nie, Nie's family member, oh, okay, are you Nie's sister?" the soldier holding the sign asked uncertainly.
When Xie Qingyu arrived in front of them, she had already put down the box she was carrying and held Tuanzi in her arms, afraid that he would be scared.
The moment the boy was picked up and saw his face, the soldier knew he had asked the wrong question.
“I am his wife, and this is his son,” Xie Qingyu said simply.
No one doubted her as she spoke.
This child is clearly the offspring of Deputy Commander Nie.
Although he looks cute, with round eyes that resemble the woman in front of him, he looks exactly like Deputy Regiment Commander Nie.
I've never heard of Deputy Regiment Commander Nie having children at home.
"Comrade?" Xie Qingyu asked when she saw the two of them standing there in a daze. "Do you need any proof? I have a letter of introduction for my daughter and me here."
As Xie Qingyu spoke, she reached for the letter of introduction in her bag.
She definitely wanted to see it, and the two of them didn't stop her.
Seeing that it was inconvenient for her to take things out, I took the dumpling from her.
Neither of them had ever held such a small child before, especially one who looked like a miniature version of Deputy Regiment Commander Nie.
Most importantly, when I picked him up, he didn't cry at all, and his face was completely expressionless. He really inherited this trait from his father.
This really is Deputy Regiment Commander Nie's son!
