Chapter 182 Song Yanchuan transferred to Yanjing
"Are you really going to do this?" Song Yanchuan asked.
"Yes!" Qin Yingxue nodded. "Jiang Linlin is opening one shop after another in Yanjing, so I need to work hard to earn money too. At the very least, I need to make sure Sanbao has enough to eat, drink, and stay in..."
Before Qin Yingxue could finish speaking, Song Yanchuan looked up at her with a serious expression and said, "Yingxue, there's something I want to discuss with you."
"What?" Qin Yingxue's heart skipped a beat when she saw Song Yanchuan's serious expression.
"The regimental commander talked to me today and plans to transfer me to Yanjing," Song Yanchuan said to Qin Yingxue with a serious expression.
"Transferred to Yanjing?" Qin Yingxue was stunned.
“Hmm! The regimental commander said I’m still young, and if I stay here, my chances of promotion aren’t great. Although I’ll start from the bottom in Yanjing, if I can endure a few years, my future is immeasurable. Ouyang Jian will also be transferred after the New Year, but he’s going to Shanghai.” Song Yanchuan sighed softly. “Even if the regimental commander didn’t say it, I know in my heart that now that the country is peaceful and prosperous, the stationed troops don’t need so many people. Everyone with connections should find a chance to transfer.”
"So what do you think?" Qin Yingxue asked after a long silence.
"For your sake and the children's sake, I've thought it over carefully and decided to go to Yanjing. It's just that the first few years might be tough, and the quality of life can't be guaranteed..."
Before Song Yanchuan could finish speaking, Qin Yingxue covered his mouth.
"I'm still here, aren't I? As long as you've thought it through, I'll support you no matter where you go. Our family will never be separated." Qin Yingxue said to Song Yanchuan with a serious expression.
“I don’t mind suffering alone, I’m just worried about you and the children following me…” Song Yanchuan saw Qin Yingxue glaring at him with wide eyes, so he took her hand and kissed it. “Okay, I won’t say that anymore. I’ll talk to the commander tomorrow and say I’m willing to be transferred to Yanjing. No matter what, the living conditions there are better than here, except for my second and third brothers…”
As Song Yanchuan spoke, a look of worry appeared on his face.
"Aren't Haijian and the others still here? Don't worry! Second Brother and Third Brother are getting along very well with the fishermen in Baisha Village. They're registered here too, so no one will bully them."
Song Yanchuan nodded: "Then I'm relieved."
Half a month later, after the transfer order for Song Yanchuan to Yanjing was confirmed, Song Yanchuan told Zhu Huiwen and Bai Haijian about it.
Zhu Huiwen didn't care; she would go wherever her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were.
Li Xinghua was the same everywhere. Anyway, she was with the Song family, so she had no worries about food and drink, and she had also developed feelings for the three children after spending a lot of time with them.
If the Song family were to fire her now, she would be incredibly reluctant to do so!
The ones I'll miss the most are Bai Haijian, Xiao Haifeng, and Yang Weijun.
After Song Yanchuan and Ouyang Jian's transfer orders came down, Lei Hongjun was promoted back to battalion commander, and Yang Hongbin became platoon leader.
After learning that Qin Dajiang and Qin Dahe would continue to stay in the small fishing village, the three of them felt a little better.
I spent three days packing at home, which included everyone's clothes and daily necessities.
Qin Dajiang and Qin Dahe took away all the other kitchen utensils, bowls, chopsticks, and furniture they had bought.
After Qin Yingxue learned that Song Yanchuan was going to be transferred, she called home, and the two brothers drove back overnight in a small truck.
They planned to drive them to Yanjing so they could bring more things with them.
Actually, the things I have the most of are my three treasures: clothes alone fill three large bags, plus baby bottles, diapers, formula, toys, and the like.
After being busy for more than half a month, it's finally time to set off.
Xiao Zhou drove a military vehicle to see them off, along with other soldiers.
Everyone had been under Song Yanchuan's command for at least two years, so they had a deep bond and were practically brothers who had gone through thick and thin together.
Ouyang Jian left a week earlier than Song Yanchuan. When he learned that Song Yanchuan was going to Yanjing, he was filled with remorse.
Before leaving, he told Song Yanchuan to wait for him in Yanjing, and that he would come back sooner or later.
Jiang Yueqiao followed, reluctantly hugging Song Shiqing and leaving behind a pile of clothes and toys.
After saying goodbye, Qin Yingxue noticed that some soldiers had tears in their eyes, but they lowered their heads to hide them.
Following Liu Chengming's orders, Xiao Zhou drove Song Yanchuan and his family to Yanjing to report for duty.
With Qin Dajiang's truck, Song Yanchuan no longer needed to hire any other vehicles.
Qin Yingxue looked back at the family compound where she had lived for more than a year, and finally got into the car in the night. Watching the compound disappear into the distance, her eyes welled up with tears.
Zhu Huiwen hugged Song Shiyao and started wiping away tears, and even Li Xinghua shed tears along with her.
After leaving the military base, as the car passed through a small fishing village, Bai Haijian, Xiao Haifeng, and Yang Weijun were already waiting there.
They hugged Sanbao, said goodbye to Sanbao, and finally looked at Qin Yingxue with red eyes.
Qin Yingxue was also heartbroken. She said in a hoarse voice, "Take good care of yourselves, Xiao Haifeng, Yang Weijun. Study hard and apply to Peking University when you take the college entrance exam. Then we can reunite in Peking University."
"Auntie, I will study hard and go see you and my brothers as soon as possible." Xiao Haifeng nodded solemnly.
Qin Yingxue patted Xiao Haifeng's head, and finally looked at Yang Weijun.
Actually, what she was most worried about was him.
Although Yang Hongbin was promoted back to platoon leader, that man consistently neglected his son Yang Weijun, ignoring him completely and treating his soldiers better than his own son.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will study hard. But I'm afraid it's not possible to get into Peking University. But I will still try my best, and when I grow up, I can go to Peking University to find my younger brothers." Yang Weijun started school too late, and he didn't have enough talent.
If Qin Yingxue hadn't patiently explained the importance of knowledge to him and given many examples, he would have dropped out of school long ago and gone to sea with Bai Haijian and the others to make money.
"Yes! We'll be waiting for you in Yanjing!" Qin Yingxue said with a smile to the three of them.
No matter how reluctant we are, the moment of parting is imminent, and there will always be a time for separation.
Watching the car drive away, Yang Weijun, who had been tense, suddenly ran after it as it was about to disappear from sight, only to be stopped by Bai Haijian: "I know you're reluctant, and so are we. Let your aunt go! We shouldn't be a burden to her any longer!"
Bai Haijian remembers clearly that during the Spring Festival, train tickets were unavailable, and his aunt couldn't bear to see them standing all the way back, so she didn't invite them to come back for the Spring Festival together.
She only decided to bring them along after seeing Yang Weijun fall down while chasing after them.
This time is different from the last time...
Yang Weijun collapsed to the ground crying, and Xiao Haifeng wiped away her tears and came over to hug him.
The two hugged each other and cried, and Bai Haijian couldn't help but wipe away his own tears as well.
Even though it was late and she couldn't see her surroundings clearly, Qin Yingxue could imagine how heartbroken they must be.
Tears streamed down her face silently, and a small hand gently wiped them away: "Mom...Mom..."
