“What, you’re not going home?” Early on Saturday morning, Wei Min was packing up her things to bring home. She had originally planned to go back to Apricot Village with Su Mian. The others in the dormitory had left earlier, leaving only the two of them.
“I am not going back. Your brother asked me to go see him.” Su Mian was afraid that Wei Min would worry, so she told her the truth. “Tell my family when you go back.”
“My brother really wrote to you?” Wei Min blinked and stared at Su Mian with wide eyes. She had felt that something had been wrong with Su Mian recently and indeed it was because of her brother. Seeing Su Mian’s face turning red bit by bit, she put her arms around Su Mian’s shoulder. Even though there was no one in the dormitory, she still whispered, “Sister-in-law, no need to be embarrassed. Going to see my brother is normal! Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone else know.”
“Huh! I’m not afraid even if they know!” Su Mian spoke stubbornly, but the tips of her ears were red.
Wei Min did not expose her and continued packing her things. Li Ya Jun was still waiting for her outside the girls’ dormitory.
Fortunately, Wei Min did not say anything else. Su Mian packed up a few changes of clothes and went to the provincial bus station.
It took four hours to travel from town to the provincial capital by car. When Su Mian reached the provincial capital, it was already 1pm.
Wei Zhen Hui’s military area was in the suburbs and it took two hours to travel from the provincial capital by public bus. Su Mian wanted to see Wei Zhen Hui earlier so she did not even bother to eat.
At 3pm, she finally reached the gate of the military area.
When the soldier standing guard saw a beautiful girl nearing, he immediately became energetic and his posture became more upright.
“Comrade, I am looking for Wei Zhen Hui, can you inform him?” Su Mian was thirsty and hungry, and the wind had blown her lips dry. She really wanted to see Wei Zhen Hui right away.
When the soldier heard that the girl was looking for Wei Zhen Hui, his eyes widened sharply. He had heard that Battalion Commander Wei had been engaged in his hometown. Could this be Battalion Commander Wei’s wife? She really was beautiful. “Comrade, our Battalion
Commander Wei is not in the military area!” His voice was louder than usual.
“Battalion Commander Wei? Not in the military area, then when is he?” Wei Zhen Hui had been promoted. Just like in her previous life, he had been promoted two ranks.
“Yes, Battalion Commander Wei was promoted specially. Now he is our Battalion Commander!” The soldier spoke proudly. As for where the battalion commander was, the soldier touched the back of his head, hesitating whether he should tell this pretty girl. If she was not the battalion commander’s wife, it would be bad.
There had been quite a few girls who came and inquired about the battalion commander these days. Coming back this time, Wei Zhen Hui had made new contributions and was even promoted to battalion commander and was sailing smoothly right now. Even the girls from the military song and dance troupe who were as proud as peacocks had come to inquire about him. People who had looked down on Battalion Commander Wei for coming from a rural place before were now regretting it!
He had already found a wife in his hometown!
The soldier was troubled about this as he scratched his cheek.
At this moment, Wu Feng drove out from the military area in a jeep and instantly recognised Su Mian standing at the sentry post. He stopped the car and parked it aside, then jumped out of the car neatly.
“Sister-in-law, why have you come to the military area?” He almost bit his tongue after speaking. Was he not just speaking nonsense? However, Su Mian remained patient. “Oh, you came to see Zhen Hui! I will take you there.”
“Then thank you Instructor!” Su Mian climbed into the passenger front seat. Wu Feng frowned the entire time and the two of them did not speak.
They arrived at the provincial military hospital in over an hour.
When the four team leaders guarding the entrance of the hospital saw Su Mian getting out of Wu Feng’s car, their eyes bulged. Their sister-in-law had actually come to see the battalion commander.
“Pinch me, is Sister-in-law really here?”
