Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 1095 Arrived home

Xiao Zhang was sitting in the driver's seat while driving, but he kept looking at the situation behind him through the rearview mirror, and listened attentively to the conversation between Wang Xiulan and Liu Jingxue in the back seat.

"Aunt, you don't have to go to work today, why did you come to the car station to pick me up?"

"Hey, I'm not worried that Xiao Zhang hasn't seen you and won't be able to pick you up, so I just took half a day off and came here together.

Besides, I haven't seen you for half a year. I miss you and want to see you as soon as possible."

I remembered the sour words Liu Weihua said when he knew I had asked for leave to pick up my niece.

If he really couldn't get away, she suspected that he would go there in person.

Looking at Xiao Zhang who was driving in front of her, Wang Xiulan felt that she had to save some face for her husband, so she leaned close to Liu Jingxue's ear and whispered,

"I'm telling you, your uncle was really jealous when he found out that I had gotten some time off and was able to pick you up at the station.

If he hadn't had a meeting in the afternoon and couldn't leave, he would have come along."

Liu Jingxue smiled and said, "How can I trouble my uncle and aunt to pick me up? This is against the will of Heaven. It would be enough if Xiao Zhang came over."

When the three of them met just now, Wang Xiulan had already introduced Liu Jingxue and Xiao Zhang to each other.

"Actually, there's no need to send someone to pick me up. It's not like I don't know the address. I can just go there myself."

Wang Xiulan shook her head, "How can that be possible?

Our military base is not in the city, so it is difficult to find.

Although the city has provided a bus service to facilitate the military families to go to the urban area, there are only a few buses in the morning and evening, and no buses at other times.

You can’t get there by yourself.”

Remembering that she would need a photo to apply for a temporary military pass for Liu Jingxue, Wang Xiulan hurriedly asked,

"Xiaoxue, did you bring the photos I asked you to bring?"

Liu Jingxue nodded and agreed, "You and uncle have talked about this several times in letters and on the phone, how could I forget it.

I brought it.”

As she spoke, she took out a photo from her bag and handed it to Wang Xiulan.

Wang Xiulan took it and looked at it for a while, "This person is good-looking, and the photos he takes are also good-looking.

When we enter the military area, I'll have someone get you a pass.

Your uncle has already informed us, and your documents have been submitted. After the political review, it can be processed on the spot."

"Xiaoxue, remember to bring your pass when you enter or leave the military area.

After all, you just arrived, and the guards have never seen you before, so they will definitely check you out." Wang Xiulan warned.

Liu Jingxue nodded, "Don't worry, auntie, I've lived in a military area before, I know."

The mother and daughter talked a lot along the way, each telling about their lives in the six months since they separated.

Arriving at the gate of the military region, Wang Xiulan took Liu Jingxue to apply for a temporary pass. After that, she brought people over to check the luggage that Liu Jingxue brought.

Liu Jingxue had already tampered with the luggage, so what they saw was of course a shrunken version.

Of course, Liu Jingxue didn't bring any contraband, she just didn't want people to know that she brought so much cured fish, cured meat, frozen meat, and live poultry.

After the inspection, the three got back into the car, and Xiao Zhang drove further inside until he stopped in front of an independent two-story building.

Wang Xiulan pointed to the small building and introduced, "This is where your uncle and I live.

The buildings next to it are occupied by other families.”

After getting off the car, Liu Jingxue observed the surrounding environment and found that the nearest neighbor's house was nearly 50 meters away, so the privacy was quite good.

Wang Xiulan looked at her watch and said, "Xiaoxue, you must be tired after sitting on the train for two days. After you go in, go back to your room and rest.

Your uncle won't be off work for more than an hour.

He usually has to work overtime and comes back late.

But since you are here today, I guess he won't waste time and will be back after get off work.

You take a rest first, and when you are well rested, we will have dinner and talk properly. "

Liu Jingxue nodded and agreed, "Okay, aunt."

Although she didn't take the train and didn't need to rest, in order to conceal her tracks, she naturally had to follow her aunt's instructions.

Liu Jingxue brought too much luggage, and the three of them worked together to carry the luggage into the house.

Seeing Wang Xiulan reaching out to take the luggage, Liu Jingxue quickly stopped her.

In order to cram things into the limited space, she and Tuanzi pressed them again and again when sorting them, and even used a vacuum machine.

The weight of this package is not something Wang Xiulan can bear. Didn’t you see that when the three of them met at the train station, Wang Xiulan reached out to help, but was stopped by her.

As for Xiao Zhang, he is a soldier after all. He has been well-trained and can still bear to carry a bag at a time.

"Aunt, I can do this. You can't lift it."

She handed the package of clothes to Wang Xiulan, "This package contains clothes, you can just carry this."

Wang Xiulan, who knew her niece's abilities, heard her say that and realized that the bag she had to carry must be very heavy, so she did not insist. She took the bag of clothes that Liu Jingxue gave her and walked in.

After unloading all the luggage into the living room, Xiao Zhang said goodbye to Wang Xiulan, "Doctor Wang, there is nothing for me to do here, so I will go back first."

When Wang Xiulan heard this, she quickly stopped him, "Xiao Zhang, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Stay and have dinner."

Xiao Zhang shook his head and said, "Doctor Wang, there's no need to have a meal. I won't join in the fun of your family reunion.

Besides, the person has been picked up, and I have to report to the chief to prevent him from worrying."

Thinking of what she was going to say to Liu Jingxue later, it would be inconvenient to say some things with Xiao Zhang present, so Wang Xiulan did not insist.

“If you don’t stay for dinner today, you can’t refuse to stay again later.

We will have to trouble you many times in the future, and you are always so polite. If there is something, I won’t be able to call you.”

“Doctor Wang, just give me instructions if you have anything to say.

I was originally here to serve the chief.”

When Liu Jingxue saw Xiao Zhang was about to leave, she hurried to open a package and took out two bottles of meat sauce and a bag of dried fruits.

This man took the trouble to pick her up and ran up and down to carry her luggage. Although he was assigned by her uncle, she couldn't just do nothing.

Besides, I will be staying here for a while, and I will have to trouble him a lot later.

This meat sauce is made with meat produced in space, as well as dried fruits.

In this day and age, these two gifts are not considered stingy.

Liu Jingxue handed the meat sauce and dried fruits to Wang Xiulan and asked her to deliver them.

Seeing the things her niece handed over, Wang Xiulan understood and quickly stuffed the things into Xiao Zhang's arms.

"Xiao Zhang, you've worked really hard today.

Since you don't want to stay for dinner, you can take the meat sauce back and mix it with some rice from the canteen. It will be delicious.

And here are some dried fruits, take them home to sweeten your mouth.”

Xiao Zhang was a little embarrassed, "Doctor Wang, this is what your niece brought to honor you and the leader. It's not appropriate for me to take it."

Wang Xiulan pointed at the pile of things on the ground and said, "My niece brought so many things, it's not inappropriate to give you just this.

Besides, this was given to me by my niece for you."

"Just keep the things, otherwise we will be embarrassed to trouble you in the future."

After Wang Xiulan's repeated persuasion, Xiao Zhang finally accepted the things.

After seeing Xiao Zhang off, Wang Xiulan didn't even bother to pack up. She took Liu Jingxue upstairs and took her to the room specially prepared for her.

"Xiaoxue, this is your room.

This room has a private bathroom, so you don’t have to go downstairs.”

"I have prepared a set of toiletries for you and put them there." Wang Xiulan pointed to the things placed in the corner of the room.

"There's always hot water on the coal stove in the kitchen, just wash up and take a nap first.

I'll go make dinner first.

When you wake up, we will have dinner."

"Aunt, how about I help you cook?" Liu Jingxue said embarrassedly.

Now that Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao are no longer there to help her aunt, how can she go to bed with peace of mind while letting her aunt work so hard?

Wang Xiulan waved her hand to refuse, "I've already prepared the cooking before I went to pick you up. Just put it in the pan and stir-fry. I don't need your help.

You've been on the train for such a long time, you should take a rest first.

After you have rested, your uncle and I still have many things to ask you."

Liu Jingxue had no choice but to agree.
