From Shangdu to Beijing, it only takes about ten hours by train.
The package that Xia Xiaolan sent to the capital was sent through the post office, but it took nine days for it to be delivered to Zhou Cheng.
If this is the courier of later generations, the phone calls for more than three days of reminders will be overwhelming, and thanks to the fact that Shangdu and Beijing are cities with well-developed railway transportation, it may take a month or two to receive a package to a remote and poor village. .
"Report!"
The correspondent saluted Zhou Cheng, "Commander, I have your package."
During the training break, many eyes looked at him.
It was really a big and heavy package, and Zhou Cheng could feel the weight as soon as he picked it up. Because King Zhou Yan's temper obviously changed after he came back from vacation, some soldiers boldly yelled: "Battlemaster, did you send good things at home again?"
Zhou Cheng is a very generous person. The people below guess that his family is in good condition, and his family misses him very much. Zhou Cheng often receives various packages. He is not stingy either, regardless of food and use, he will take out a share. The food standard of the army depends on the specific situation. The food in Zhou Cheng's garrison is not bad, and there are a few pieces of fat in the dishes. The soldiers have to train intensively, and they are hungry very quickly.
Zhou Cheng's mother felt sorry for him, and sent food to the army every ten and a half months. Zhou's father said many times that specialization was not allowed, but Zhou's mother insisted on not changing. When Zhou Cheng received the packages, he usually took them out and distributed them to the soldiers below.
He has a lot of private money, but it is impossible to bring a luxurious style to the army.
Zhou Cheng lived as other battalion commanders did, trying not to attract attention in terms of food and clothing.
This time the package was not sent by Zhou's mother. As soon as he saw the address in Henan Province, Zhou Cheng knew it was Xia Xiaolan.
How about you forget your mother when you have a daughter-in-law? His mother sent him so many things, and Zhou Cheng didn't feel bad for giving them away. It was the first time Xia Xiaolan sent him something, and Zhou Cheng was reluctant to open it up and give it to others. look!
He carried the package and left, "My wife sent it, so I can't share it with you."
Haha, Battalion Commander Zhou was joking again, he is so generous Wait, Battalion Commander has a wife?
Zhou Cheng has a date.
The news spread quickly in the group, and Lao Fang, who had always been jealous of Zhou Cheng, almost crushed his fists.
"He is only 20 years old, what is he looking for?"
He is 30 years old, isn't he still single?
If you find a wife, you will be distracted. If you waste too much time on women, will your passion for career be dragged down?
Lao Fang secretly clenched his fists. The 20-year-old Zhou Cheng has found a partner. Maybe he shouldn't refuse those blind dates. Last time, the head of the group even said that he wanted to introduce a lesbian, but Lao Fang refused at that time, and now he just wants to slap himself.
Lao Fang suddenly realized that if he didn't find a wife again, his own son would fall behind Zhou Cheng's cub in the future.
"Leader, the lesbians you mentioned last time"
"Get out, I've been married for a year, and the child is about to be born!"
The head of the group drove Lao Fang out, but Lao Fang refused to accept it.
Still have to blame Zhou Cheng, why are you looking for someone when you are only 20 years old?
Zhou Cheng returned to the dormitory with heavy packages.
Soldiers crowded into dormitories, but cadres had single rooms, and Zhou Cheng had reached his level, so it was impossible for him to share a room with other people.
He opened the package and found that Xia Xiaolan had sent quite a lot.
Sheep-sheared vests can be worn under formal clothes to protect the chest and back and keep the body warm. These words were written in Xia Xiaolan's letter. Zhou Cheng was not the most concerned about what was there. His first priority was to find Xia Xiaolan's letter.
In the letter, Xia Xiaolan said what she had sent, and that she was accompanied by her mother to Yangcheng to pick up the goods, and found that there was a light and warm duck down jacket. I don't know if Zhou Cheng can wear it when he is resting, so I will send one first for the time being.
The duck down jacket was dark blue. Xia Xiaolan didn't know if Zhou Cheng would have a chance to wear it, and she didn't take any fancy bright colors.
In addition to the two pieces of clothes, there were also a lot of dried Xinzheng dates in the package, and a few tin jars filled with Xinyang Maojian. Xia Xiaolan was also very sorry, saying that the post office was too busy to send things. She originally wanted to send some marinated yellow beef, but she was afraid that it would spoil after it was delivered, so she had to think of other ways to solve this problem.
"Sooner or later, the distance of thousands of kilometers can be reached in just a few hours. It doesn't matter to send cooked food or even fresh food between the two places."
Xia Xiaolan firmly believed in this in the letter.
Zhou Cheng thought how many years later, take the plane to send things?
Even the most developed United States is not so defeated.of.
She asked Zhou Cheng to have enough food and clothing, and not to cherish his body just because he was young and in good health. She also said that she wanted to do some business with Baizhuzhu, and asked Zhou Cheng if this girl was reliable.
White Pearl?
It is Bai Zhiyong's younger sister.
Bai Zhiyong has been in the army for several years, and was promoted last year. He is a platoon leader in Zhou Cheng's battalion.
This person has outstanding personal qualities, but his personality is very impulsive. He obviously had the opportunity to be promoted before, but he was ruined by Bai Zhiyong's personality Such a person may not be able to become a high-ranking official, and Zhou Cheng would not want to be with him if he was a comrade-in-arms. He fought side by side, afraid that his heroism would show up and ruin the plan at a critical moment. But as a friend, Zhou Cheng still trusts each other quite a lot. Bai Zhiyong is a person with clear grievances and grievances, and Zhou Cheng happens to be kind to him.
His sister should be trustworthy, right?
Zhou Cheng read the letter twice, reluctantly put down the letter paper, took off his coat and tried on a shearling vest.
Putting on the duck down jacket again, he was hot and sweating profusely in a short while.
It is true that there is no chance to wear duck down jackets in the army, so Zhou Cheng took off the clothes with care and hung them up. This is his daughter-in-law's wish, and it cannot be wrinkled or dirty. The shearling vest can be worn under formal clothes, it is thin and close-fitting, and Zhou Cheng does not affect his activities even if he moves.
Xia Xiaolan sent a big bag of red dates, and Xinyang Maojian also had a few big jars. Zhou Cheng took out a red date and stuffed it into his mouth. It was sweet and waxy, and the seed was very small. After he finished eating one, he couldn't help but eat a few more before stopping - Zhou Cheng had a secret that he didn't want to tell others, he liked to eat sweets!
How strong is his taste? Just out of the pan, the white flour steamed buns are brushed with a thick layer of sesame sauce and sprinkled with soft white sugar Zhou Cheng can eat a whole plate by himself. When he was a child, he liked to dip his fingers in white sugar and was cleaned up by his family. His father said he was cowardly and effeminate, and Zhou Cheng gradually changed his habit of sweetness.
Oh, or maybe it's hidden deeper.
How did Xiaolan see that he likes to eat sweets?
Could it be that the last time I was at the train station, I spent too long staring at it when I bought dates for Xiaolan?
Zhou Cheng took out another red date and put it in his mouth.
Don't worry about how you know, even if it's a coincidence, it means that Xiaolan is destined to be his wife.
Zhou Cheng doesn't like tea very much, when will he drink these cans of Xinyang Maojian? Putting it away would be a waste of Xiaolan's mind, Zhou Cheng thought about it, and sent a can to the head of the group when it was dark.
The team leader teased him, "I heard you're dating?"
"Well, people from southern Henan, this tea is sent by my partner, I'll give you a taste."
There are a total of five cans of tea leaves, which are the same as red dates. Xia Xiaolan prepared them so that Zhou Cheng could give them away. It's bad behavior to eat alone, and interpersonal communication is needed everywhereOf course, no matter what level you are in, you can only share your local specialties with your immediate boss at most, and you can't directly give gifts by leapfrogging. Zhou Cheng didn't mention his rank to Xia Xiaolan either. Xia Xiaolan thought he was just a small soldier. Even if he was promoted at the age of 20, he would be a small platoon leader at best.
Zhou Cheng is now the battalion commander!
In the regiment, he doesn't need to please too many people. Even the regiment leader is capable and treats Zhou Cheng well, so Zhou Cheng respects him.
Except for the head of the regiment, Zhou Cheng and the leader of the 3rd Battalion, Lao Fang, didn't have much to deal with, but he didn't have a good relationship with the commander of the 2nd Battalion, so he also gave him a pot of tea.
What about the remaining 3 cans of tea?
It is impossible for Zhou Cheng to give it to his subordinates, nor to the annoying old Fang.
He thought for a while, packed two cans of tea, reluctantly parted out half of the red dates, and sent them back home¡ªa man who has a wife forgets his mother, but a good wife also makes people grow up. Zhou Cheng often gave money directly, and seldom bought things to take home. It hurts to share red dates and tea leaves with others, but his own parents can still taste them.
Where can I find a son like him? If he hadn't acted quickly, how could his parents enjoy the filial piety of their daughter-in-law in advance.
Look at Lao Fang, the leader of the 3rd Battalion, he doesn't even have a date, and his parents may even have gray hair!
