Mother Li nodded and escorted Chen Weidang out in person. She turned around and closed the door. She had to ask Li Bing how to arrange Miao Qing. She would not really bring him back to the army.
"Son, you...really take Miao Qing to the army."
"Mom, don't worry. Brother, lend me your bicycle and I'll go to the county town."
"What are you going for?"
"Go call my boss."
Seeing Li Huan and the others looking at him helplessly, Li Bing decided not to show off. He told Li's mother and the others that a military marriage is not something you can just get married if you want.
If you want to fall in love, you have to report it, and if you want to get married, you have to report it. Although Miao Qing's family is poor peasants, there is something wrong with her thinking when she uses such despicable means to get a military marriage, and her superiors will definitely not agree.
But this kind of thing cannot be solved by just saying you don't agree with it. Sometimes the actual situation on the ground is worse than imagined, and even kills people.
Therefore, many things cannot be either white or black, straight forward, but have to be done with some twists and turns. The leaders also came up with a way to use the geographical advantages to bring all these women who are not on the stage to one place.
"Brother, where is this place?"
"A place so difficult that you can't even imagine it is in the Hexi Corridor."
Cheng Qiao was surprised to find that his eldest brother's garrison was the same one where he mailed supplies to his father, but it was just not the same person.
Li's mother was overjoyed when she learned the result. She was about to tell Li Bing that Cheng Qiao's father had been sent there and that he had to take care of her when he had time, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Li Huan.
Li Bing glanced at Li Huan. He had been in the army for so many years and had developed a sharp eye. Of course he knew about Li Huan's deliberate interruption.
But everyone has their own secrets, and Li Bing had no intention of inquiring into his brother's secrets. He smiled and told Li's mother that if Miao Qing wanted to follow him, he must go to the protective forest over there to plant trees.
Cheng Qiao couldn't help but tremble all over. That place was filled with sand, and when a sandstorm came, it was almost impossible to open his eyes.
His father might have been sent to work in this place. He didn't know if the supplies he sent had been received. Thinking of this, Cheng Qiao couldn't help but feel sad and wanted to meet his father.
Cheng Liguo, who was far away in Gansu, sat in a truck and drove towards his destination. He was indeed assigned to the Hexi Corridor, where the land was desertified, salinized, sandstorms occurred frequently, and the living environment was extremely difficult.
The car drove for a long time before arriving at the destination. Cheng Liguo was assigned to a cave dwelling, a cave dwelling that could be lived alone. The area of the cave dwelling was small, but it was enough for him to live alone.
You must know that Cheng Liguo was escorted directly from the Huizhou Detention Center to the train. Not to mention his luggage, even the money and tickets on his body had been taken away. Fortunately, the money and tickets were hidden in the shoes Han Qiusheng gave him.
After he got on the train, he took out money and tickets from the upper of his shoe while going to the toilet. It wasn't much, but it was enough for him to eat and drink on the train.
At the same time, he read Cheng Qiao's address several times and remembered it firmly in his mind. Then he tore it into pieces, stretched out his hand out of the car window, and the pieces floated into the distance with the wind.
Cheng Liguo is a veteran with a strong ability to survive. He knows that in such cold weather, the cave dwelling can be without bedding, but it must not be without a fire pit.
There was also an old man who lived in the cave next door who had been sent down. The old man had been here two years earlier. Cheng Liguo talked to him for a few words, and then he realized that the old man was the same age as him, but he was tortured by life and couldn't tell his original age.
Already.
"I'll call you brother. Can you tell me where I can get firewood?"
"There is no firewood here, we use straw to burn the kang, and there is coal. Straw and coal need to be bought with money. No, have you seen the largest cave dwelling over there? That is responsible for managing our office. Just apply to them for anything you want.
"
Cheng Liguo nodded, counted the money and tickets he had left, and shook his head involuntarily. This little money was only enough to eat two buns, how could he sell the coal.
"Dude, do you have a family?"
"I……"
"I have no family, or my family has lost contact with me."
"I have a daughter."
"That's good. My surname is Yuan. Just call me Lao Yuan. You can sleep with me these two days. When you get paid next month, you can start a business on your own."
"We also pay wages every month here."
"Yes, it's not much. Five yuan and some protective equipment are enough for you to live."
Cheng Liguo nodded and walked directly into Lao Yuan's cave. Han Qiusheng had said that he would send something to him, so he could return it to Lao Yuan when the time came.
"My surname is Cheng, and my name is Cheng Liguo. I come from Huizhou."
"Well, Yuan Guangming, from Beijing."
Half a month later, Cheng Liguo received two packages, one from Huizhou and one from the Military Region. Needless to say, the one from the Military Region must have been from his daughter Cheng Qiao.
Cheng Liguo moved the package into his cave dwelling, closed the door, and slowly opened it, revealing a thick bedding and brand-new cotton-padded jacket and cotton trousers, as well as a bundle of cash and national bills hidden in the cotton-padded jacket.
"This is not how the money was given to this child. What if the package is lost?"
Cheng Liguo was mumbling, but his tears fell drop by drop on his cotton-padded jacket. He put the money and tickets aside, took off his tattered coat, and put on a new cotton-padded jacket.
The new cotton-padded jacket was warm enough, and Cheng Liguo's heart also warmed up. He reached into his pocket and found a letter. He opened the letter and saw the familiar font. Cheng Liguo's nose was so sore that he could hardly breathe.
There was also a letter written by his daughter asking him to persist for a few years, saying that the sun would definitely come out and she must protect herself. After her child was born, she would bring her child to him.
He carefully hid the letter and began to pack the package. He had two sets of underwear, two pairs of shoes and socks, a pair of rubber shoes, toothbrush and toothpaste, towels and soap, a lunch box and a large bag of brown sugar.
There were also pots and pans, rice flour, oil, and some sausages and mountain products in the package. No wonder the cotton-padded clothes and bedding were rolled into such a big roll, and the little girl hid everything inside.
There is also a package sent by Han Qiusheng, of course. There are not many things, a set of sweaters, woolen pants, a hat, scarf and gloves. There is also a hundred yuan hidden in the gloves. This should be the biggest thing Han Qiusheng's family can afford.
of a sum of money.
"Zhao Min, you still have good judgment. The children you gave birth to and the people you saved are all here to repay your kindness, unlike me..."
After quickly sorting out the supplies and spreading the bedding on the kang, Cheng Liguo took 100 yuan and tickets to the office and asked for a ton of coal, a coal stove and daily necessities.
The people in the office are basically very good to these decentralized people. The living conditions are already very difficult, and they don't bother to torture them in life. As long as they have money and votes, they can get corresponding supplies.
