Chapter 66 Chief Xie's wife brought the baby to the military base.
Reading Settings
The car gradually moved forward steadily, getting further and further away from Zhou Dawei, and Song Zhaodi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced back at the train station one last time; this place would most likely become her home from now on.
She has to try her best to live, to live well, and to make something of herself.
Shanghai at this time.
Shu Yan and Cheng Shaoyuan were just about to set off.
Shu Yan was secretly pleased with herself, thinking that she had set off to find Xie Zhiyan even earlier than Shu Ying, which would give her an advantage.
Shu Ying already carries a bad reputation, although there's no news about it yet.
But with so many people asking around, she might end up being arrested like her parents if she takes her two children out for a short time.
She has completely cleared herself of suspicion, and now she can go anywhere without any restrictions on her freedom.
Once you arrive in the capital and meet Xie Zhiyan, you can embellish the story of Shu Ying and Xie Zhiyan will naturally weigh the pros and cons.
"By then I'll just be a military officer's wife, and even the strongest winds won't affect me. I don't want to be sent down to some godforsaken place in the countryside!"
She already had a wonderful life ahead of her, and now that she has a second chance, with all the advantages of timing, location, and people, she is determined to rewrite her destiny.
This time, no one but her can decide who she will marry!
"Xiao Yan, I've packed everything. Our journey is quite long this time, so it's convenient to bring too much luggage. Once we get to the capital, you can buy anything you need."
Shu Yan nodded, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
Although Cheng Shaoyuan was indeed quite good to her, his family background was rather ordinary, and he didn't even have a proper job, so there was naturally no future for him.
If anything were to happen, he might not be able to protect her.
Rather than spending her life with such a good-for-nothing, she would rather choose Xie Zhiyan, a man who had been married before.
At least Xie Zhiyan's future is bright, and sooner or later she will completely replace Shu Ying.
After everything was packed up, Shu Yan carefully carried the few pieces of jade she had dug out of the pit with her.
With so many people coming and going at the train station, she only felt at ease carrying this item with her at all times.
"Then let's go."
Upon arriving at the train station security checkpoint, the enclosed space was already crowded with people, and the scent of jade permeating the air emanated from Shu Yan's body.
People around immediately covered their noses: "This is a train station, not your private outhouse. Who's the scoundrel who brought their own excrement here?"
Shu Yan and Cheng Shaoyuan had been in the same room with the jade for the past two days and had gotten used to the smell, so they didn't notice it.
But soon, the crowd around them dwindled.
Everyone's eyes were on them, and the seemingly disdainful looks made Shu Yan feel a little embarrassed.
She took a deep breath and glared fiercely at the people around her.
Cheng Shaoyuan comforted her: "Xiao Yan, don't lower yourself to the level of these frogs in a well. They've never seen such high-quality jade before. If they actually saw it, their eyes would pop out of their sockets. A bunch of ignorant country bumpkins!"
Shu Yan's expression softened a bit: "You're right, they're short-sighted, they've never seen anything good in their lives."
Just wait and see, her glorious days are yet to come.
-
After getting off the bus, it was still quite a distance to the military base.
Shu Ying had already asked for directions in the car: "Let's just turn onto this road. There's a narrow path to the east. It's about a kilometer long. Qingqing, can you handle carrying the baby for so long? Maybe I can take over for a bit."
Li Qingqing was also a little surprised: "It's okay, I didn't feel too tired along the way. You're carrying so much luggage, I can carry it. Tuantuan doesn't weigh much at all."
She had just given birth not long ago, and on the way here she was worried that carrying the baby would be difficult.
As a result, I walked all the way to the entrance of the military base in one go, without feeling any effort at all.
The group, with their families in tow, stood in front of the military guards, and Yueyue cautiously moved closer to Yangyang's side.
"Brother, I think this place is really big! All these uncles look so serious. Does Dad work here? Is he serious too?"
Originally, Yueyue was somewhat looking forward to it, but as she walked along the way, she became more cautious, feeling a mix of trepidation and longing as she approached home.
Yangyang, on the other hand, was still being stubborn on the way here, saying that he would never like his father no matter what, and that he looked like a black bear spirit.
But as he approached the military base and saw the solemnity of the surroundings, the dignified environment, and the upright sentries at the gate, his little heart began to pound.
These uncles all look very impressive, and their clothes are a beautiful green.
He looked down at his small frame. If he could wear that outfit, he would probably look just as upright, right?
The little guy looked at the gun on the sentry's body, swallowed nervously, and gently scratched Shuying's arm with his little hand, his voice very low.
"Mom, are the guns these uncles are carrying real?"
Shu Ying's eyes narrowed to slits. The little guy was so nervous he was about to wet his pants, yet he still looked completely unaffected.
His old-fashioned appearance is almost identical to Xie Zhiyan's.
"Of course it's all true. These uncles are all great. They can't go home to be with their families during the Spring Festival because they have to protect the motherland."
Yangyang looked up somewhat awkwardly, her bright eyes seeming to be touched by something: "Then none of them here can go home to see their children?"
Are these uncles' children also called "wild children" by other children?
Shu Ying nodded: "More or less. Look at Tuantuan, he's been born for several days now, and his father hasn't shown up yet. He came all the way here with his mother to find his father, right?"
Yangyang looked completely understanding.
Shu Ying was a little nervous because she came to find someone without informing Xie Zhiyan beforehand.
But seeing these people now, she felt inexplicably relaxed, and she took the initiative to go up and report to the guard at the gate.
"Hello comrade, I am Xie Zhiyan's wife, and this girl is Duan Huaichuan's wife. I don't know which camp they belong to. Could you please help us check and send a notice?"
