Chapter 764 Going to Jinan
The next day, before dawn, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao sent Liu Jianjun to the town to catch the early bus to Xi City.
As for Zhou and Zhao, Liu Jianjun explained that they were taking advantage of this vacation to visit their comrades who had retired due to injuries.
The two men did not doubt this. After all, there had never been peace in those days. Whether it was at the border or in the country, battles often occurred, and it was not uncommon for soldiers to retire due to injuries.
Liu Jingxue took the medicine and seeds that Liu Jianjun brought to Mr. Zhang to the cowshed yesterday afternoon and asked her aunt to find a way to sew them onto her underwear.
She had scanned it this morning and saw Liu Jianjun put on the clothes to make sure they wouldn't be lost.
It's winter now, and it's common to go for a few days without taking a shower.
If the trip goes well, we can take the train to Beijing this afternoon and arrive in Beijing early tomorrow morning.
It doesn’t take long to get from Beijing to Jinan, and we will probably arrive the day after tomorrow.
My aunt also prepared a large bag of luggage. After all, in this day and age, when people travel long distances by train, everyone carries large or small bags, and having too little luggage would attract attention.
The last time I sent a package to Mr. Zhang, it was mainly to deliver a secret letter from Grandpa Zou. The package was not big and did not contain much bacon.
This time when Liu Jianjun went there, he was able to bring more bacon and saved a lot of postage.
In a blink of an eye, it has been 5 days since Liu Jianjun left.
These days, except for Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao who were unaware of the situation, everyone else was waiting a little anxiously.
In order to divert the attention of several elders, the day after Liu Jianjun left, Liu Jingxue called Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao to the cowshed and began to teach them new ancient martial arts.
Anyway, there are quite a few secret books about ancient martial arts in her space, so it is easy to choose one that is suitable for the two of them.
Although the three of them were practicing martial arts to divert their attention, the longer the time dragged on, the more uneasy the elders became.
Seeing that Liu Jingxue had finished teaching the two and let them practice in the yard while she ran into the house to slack off, Wang Xiulan lowered her voice and said to Liu Jingxue,
"Your second brother is also a fool. He didn't even call us after all these days, leaving us worried."
"Our production team doesn't have a telephone, so where do you want Jianjun to make the call?
Could he call the commune secretary or the town post office?
Didn't we repeatedly remind him to hide his identity? If he called back, he would definitely be found out.
A single move can affect the entire body. If this is traced back, both Xiaoxue and us will be exposed to other people.
You, just wait patiently.
He is not going on a dangerous mission this time, so he will be fine." Liu Weihua consoled him.
Wang Xiulan sighed, "I was thinking too much.
I just wanted to at least give us a message. It's hard to tell over the phone, but at least let us know that he arrived safely."
Liu Weihua patted her hands and said, "Don't worry, Jianjun is not a child anymore.
He is used to carrying out missions outside, and he is so capable that it is impossible for him to encounter any danger.
Didn’t the old leader say before that he would be gone for a long time, so we should wait patiently.”
“Jianguo and his family are coming in January, and you still need to make thick clothes for them.
Why don't you go make clothes for them instead of worrying about it?"
Wang Xiulan was speechless and reminded Liu Weihua, "You forgot the letter that Yumei put inside the package that Xiaoxue brought back from the old family last time.
Yumei said that they had soldiers from the Northeast.
Jianjun asked them and knew it was cold here, so she specially prepared thick cotton jackets.
They were worried that if we prepared more for them, they wouldn’t need to waste it, so they wrote to us to tell us not to prepare more.”
“If they tell you not to prepare, then you won’t prepare.
They will be staying here for a while, what if they get dirty and there is no change of clothes? "
"Don't worry, I've thought about it.
Didn’t Xiaoxue bring us some cloth and cotton before so that we could make new cotton-padded jackets?
In addition to the two cotton-padded jackets we had last year, we both made a new one.
You and Jianguo have similar body shapes, and Yumei and I can share clothes. If their clothes get dirty, I can just change them.
This way, fabric and cotton won’t be wasted.” Wang Xiulan explained.
Liu Weihua nodded, "That's fine too.
But for little Hu, you need to prepare another set, as children like to play and easily get their clothes dirty.
Also, at his age, I don’t know if he will still wet the bed. If he wets himself, he will need clothes to change.
Anyway, Yumei and the others have sent over the cloth and cotton, so you can make a set of cotton-padded jacket for Xiaohuzi to change into.
Even if it is not used later, it is your thought as a grandmother."
To put it bluntly, Liu Weihua just wanted to find something for Wang Xiulan to do so that she wouldn't keep nagging and making everyone worry.
Wang Xiulan felt that Liu Weihua was right and said,
"Okay, I'll make a cotton-padded jacket for Xiao Hu.
It's just that I'm a little undecided and don't know how big to make the clothes.
After all, we haven't seen each other for more than two years, and I don't know how tall Xiao Huzi has grown now."
Liu Weihua said, "Just imitate the body shape of the kids in the team who are one or two years older than Xiaohuzi.
It doesn’t matter if it’s too big, you can wear it when you grow up.
It’s better than making it too small and wasting fabric.”
Wang Xiulan thought about the children in the team and said, "Then I know how big I should be."
After saying that, she got up and went to find cloth to make clothes for her grandson.
After listening to the whole process, Liu Jingxue gave Liu Weihua a thumbs up.
It was my uncle who had a solution. This way, my aunt would have two or three days of busy time, and she would have some peace and quiet for two days.
"Jianjun should have met Lao Zhang by now. I don't know when he will bring people to Beijing," Mr. Zou speculated.
Elder Wu shook his head. “I don’t think it will happen that fast. Commander Zhang must have someone test the medicine himself and confirm it before he dares to bring anyone to Beijing.
After all, it was such a big thing, how could he dare to report it to the higher-ups if he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes.
If Jianjun is an exception, he will be in big trouble."
"I think Brother Wu is right. Commander Zhang should verify it before coming to Beijing," Liu Weihua also said.
"Given Lao Zhang's personality, he will definitely verify it himself.
But even if I find someone to verify it, it won’t take much time. It’s been 5 days. Although it will take almost 2 days to build the army, it should have been verified by now.
I just don’t know what excuse Lao Zhang is going to use to see the big boss.
The big boss is very busy and not so easy to meet. I'm afraid that Mr. Zhang will ask Mr. Zhou for help.
After all, it is relatively easy for Mr. Zhou to meet with the top leaders."
Elder Wu glanced at Zhou Mingxuan who was practicing martial arts outside and said, "How about asking Mingxuan to call back and feel the situation out?"
After thinking for a while, Zou shook his head and said, "No hurry, wait a few more days.
If I want to ask Mr. Zhou for help, I'm afraid I will have to tell him what's going on and drag him into it.
Given Mr. Zhang's personality, he wouldn't ask Mr. Zhou for help unless it was absolutely necessary.
Wait a few more days and then let Mingxuan call back to chat.
I didn’t tell him what the matter was, I just asked him to find out what was going on in Beijing.”
Mr. Zou took a puff of his cigarette and said, "How many eyes are watching what's going on over there with the big boss?
Whatever people you meet every day, it won’t be long before it’s in front of many people.
The commander-in-chief of a certain military region will meet with a senior leader, so he will definitely not be able to hide it from other people, and Mr. Zhou will definitely get the news as well.
Mr. Zhou knows that Lao Zhang has contacts with us, so he will definitely tell Mingxuan. "
Elder Wu nodded. "Then I'll do as you say. Let Mingxuan call back in a few days to test the waters."
