My Little Poplar - Chap 65
They left in the morning after breakfast, Bai Xinyu didn’t ask the others to see him off, he was an emotional man, he cried easily and he didn’t want to leave crying, it was too bad for his image.
The three of them put their luggage in the car, took one last look at the camp they had lived in and got in.
The car has not gone far, Bai Xinyu’s eyes glance in the rear view mirror and he suddenly notices something, he turned his head and saw the men of the Third Squad running out of the car, saluting in unison, Yu Fengcheng and Chen Jing also turned their heads, looking at the diminishing figures of their comrades, with a sinking heart.
Bai Xinyu’s heart was burning, tears began to well up in his eyes again, he turned away, not daring to look again.
Chen Jing also turned back, leans back, sighed heavily.
Bai Xinyu put his arm around him, choking back a sob: “Sergeant, can we come back for a visit?”
Chen Jing said: “It’s difficult, it’s quite remote, not a direct flight.”
Bai Xinyu sobbed, “I’m starting to miss them now.”
Chen Jing patted him on the back and said, “As long as you think of them, there’s always a chance we’ll meet again.”
Bai Xinyu nodded, he turned to Yu Fengcheng and said with some hope: “Why did your uncle come here last time? Is there always a mission around here?”
Yu Fengcheng shook his head, “He’s here to see the head of the group, even if he had a mission he wouldn’t tell us and if we had a mission later, it’s unlikely you’d be free to visit friends and family.”
Bai Xinyu sniffled hard, too upset to say anything else, Yu Fengcheng quietly took his hand, squeezing his palm soothingly, the hand was warm and generous and it calmed his heart. The separation, although also sad, was nothing like when he left home over a year ago, because now he had Yu Fengcheng and Chen Jing with him, he knew he was not alone.
Dongyuan, Qian Liang, Wangwang and Sergeant Wu, we will definitely meet again!
A car sent by the regiment took them to the train station, they slept on the train overnight and arrived in Urumqi the next day, Huo Qiao drove them himself to pick them up.
There were no outsiders, Yu Fengcheng and Huo Qiao were very affectionate, they got into the car with each other, all they talked about was their family, Bai Xinyu felt he could not even get a word in.
Huo Qiao looked at Chen Jing and Bai Xinyu in the rear-view mirror, smiled and said: “It’s been a hot couple of days, hasn’t it?”
Chen Jing nodded and said, “It’s really hot at noon.”
“The climate here is much better than in the Kunlun Mountains, it’s a city after all, lots of good food and fun, I’ll show you around sometime.”
Bai Xinyu looked out of the window, he was in a better mood, he was finally back in the big city, although he had adapted to the remoteness and barrenness of the Kunlun Mountains, he always preferred the modern city, he said happily: “Do we usually have time off?”
“Not during the training period, if you stay, you’ll get two days off a month from now on.”
Bai Xinyu was even more excited to hear that there was a holiday.
Huo Qiao smiled at him and immediately poured a bucket of cold water over him, “Only if you stay.”
Bai Xinyu laughed dryly.
