Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

"oooooo"

It's just dawn.

Jia Weidong appeared in the jeep again, and the sound of roosters crow could be heard in the distance.

After carefully checking the jeep and filling it with oil and water, Jia Weidong lit a cigarette, leaned against the door and waited quietly.

"buzzing"

Sure enough, Jia Weidong was not disappointed.

After waiting for only half an hour, a truck full of goods came into Jia Weidong's sight.

"crunch"

Some heavy trucks were stopped by Jia Weidong who rushed to the middle of the road.

There were two people in the car.

There was a driver, and there was another person sitting on the passenger seat, with a semi-automatic in his arms.

It looked like it was a long-distance car, and the items it contained were relatively expensive.

These days it is normal for drivers to carry guns.

However, if the goods are not valuable and are transported over short distances, they are generally not suitable for escorts.

The driver's face looked a little ugly. He glanced at the jeep on the roadside, but he didn't get angry. He stuck his head out of the window and asked doubtfully: "Little comrade, your car is broken down?"

There is no such thing as overloading these days. You can load as much as you can, and the horsepower of a truck's engine is only that much, so when it is overloaded, it starts very slowly. When it is suddenly stopped inexplicably during normal driving, everyone's face becomes pale. Not pretty.

Not cursing is considered a great honor.

Jia Weidong hurriedly handed over two large front doors, and then said awkwardly: "Comrade, I want to go to Zhangjiajie, and I don't know how to get there."

There are very few drivers these days who don’t smoke. After taking the cigarette, the driver’s face looked much better.

"Zhang Jiajie, it's a coincidence. We happened to be passing by. If you don't think our car is slow, just follow us."

Jia Weidong smiled and said: "It's not too slow! Thank you!"

Jia Weidong couldn't ask for someone to lead the way. It was much better than asking questions while walking.

"Then let's go!"

"Boom boom boom"

After the driver finished speaking, the engine roared and billowing black smoke came out of the truck's exhaust pipe. The car slowly started to pick up speed.

Truck in front, Jeep in back.

Jia Weidong drove slowly while admiring the scenery along the way, hanging far behind the truck.

Just stay far away.

The road was made of cinders, and the dust was flying wherever the trucks passed. Those who followed could only eat ashes.

It was nearly noon when the two cars arrived at Zhangjiajie.

The truck stopped in front of a small roadside restaurant, and the driver jumped out of the truck with a bottle of wine. It seemed that he often stayed here to eat.

Jia Weidong got out of the car and walked up to him, handing him a cigarette to express his gratitude: "Thank you, comrade!"

"Hey! It's not easy to do things along the way when you're away from home! Little comrade! I don't think you're from Hunan Province and come to Zhangjiajie for business?"

"No, I'm going to a mountain city. I don't know the way. I just ask questions while walking from section to section."

"Oops! The mountain city is not close, but I can still take you a little further. I'm going to Youyang."

"That's great! Let's eat together and I'll treat you!"

"No! How can I ask you to invite me?"

Entering the small restaurant, Jia Weidong ordered two local specialties.

Tujia three pots and rock ear stewed local chicken.

I ordered the special cold noodles as my staple dish.

At this time, Xiasanguo is still the traditional way, which is to put bacon, tofu and radish in the pot and cook them together, giving it a rich taste.

Rock ear stewed native chicken, as the name suggests, uses rock ear and native chicken as the main raw materials. After multiple processes, it is stewed together. The meat is tender and juicy and has a unique aroma.

The driver's surname was Zhu, and he was in his 40s. He had a good impression on Jia Weidong.

Master Zhu took the wine bottle and was about to pour wine for Jia Weidong: "Xiao Jia, drink some!"

"Master Zhu, I don't know how to drink, you can do whatever you want."

This requires driving. Jia Weidong politely refused, but he did not dissuade Master Zhu and the others.

He and Master Zhu just met each other, so there was no need to offend others.

Drinking while driving is not a good habit.

But in this era, there is no such thing as drunk driving.

The driver should not drink too much.

On the road, there are many people with a steering wheel in one hand and a wine bottle in the other.

Jia Weidong can only restrain himself. He can't control whether others like to drink or not.

Fortunately, Master Zhu didn't drink too much, only about three taels.

After being full of wine and food, the three of them left the restaurant, got in the car and continued on their way.

From Zhangjiajie to Youyang, you have to pass through Furong Town in the middle, which is much farther than from Changde to Zhangjiajie.

Until evening, the two cars finally arrived in Youyang.

Jia Weidong also separated from Master Zhu and the others, and Master Zhu rushed to the unit where he delivered goods.

Jia Weidong continued to rush towards Wulong.

After passing Youyang.

Jia Weidong was not so lucky and never met another car on the same road.

He had no choice but to ask for directions while walking, and it took him until the afternoon of the next day to reach the mountain city.

3pm.

Jia Weidong traveled all the way to the address written in Zhou Xiaomi's letter.

In front of us is a large camp of a certain field department.

From a distance, you can hear the loud command inside: "One, one, two, one."

When the jeep was still 5 meters away from the gate, Jia Weidong was stopped by a sentry with a loaded gun.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Jia Weidong took out his work permit and letter of introduction, smiled and said to the sentry: "Comrade! I am a family member of Zhou Xiaomi, a new recruit in the women's camp, and I brought her something!"

The sentry took Jia Weidong's work permit and letter of introduction, looked at it, and said with a serious face: "Comrade! According to regulations, newly recruited comrades cannot leave the camp for the first three months and cannot meet their families. Please understand!"

Jia Weidong got out of the car, took out the front door, popped one out and handed it to the sentry: "Comrade! Can you be accommodating? I come from the capital. It's not easy for me to come here."

The sentry waved his hand to show that he would not smoke, and then said expressionlessly: "Comrade! This is the rule! Not even immediate family members! This is an important matter, and outsiders are not allowed to stay! You can keep the things, and we will transfer them to her. You go Just register at the gate and you're good to go."

The sentry's words were very clear, let alone Jia Weidong, even Zhou Xiaomi's parents would not be able to do it.

Of course, as Zhou's father, it might be possible, but how could the sentry know?

Jia Weidong is just an unknown person. Faced with such a situation, he has no tricks to use.

There is no need to see the person anymore, but the things must still be left behind.

Think of it as sending a goose feather from a thousand miles away.

Jia Weidong brought the things he prepared for Zhou Xiaomi to the gate and asked the officers on duty to check them and then register them.

"Alas!" He sighed regretfully and glanced silently at the camp. Jia Weidong got in the car, turned around and left.

Zhou Xiaomi told Jia Weidong a lot in his letter.

They said they couldn't fall in love, couldn't... etc. The only thing they didn't say was that the newlyweds couldn't leave the camp within three months and wouldn't arrange family visits.

Not even a direct family member, let alone a pseudo-family member like Jia Weidong.

Inside the camp.

On the training ground.

A team of heroic female warriors are training.

They are all newcomers who have just joined the army, including Zhou Xiaomi and Lu Xiaoli.

They were assigned to the same class.

At this moment, both of them were wearing national defense green. Although their faces were covered with sweat, they were both energetic and heroic.

Zhou Xiaomi's serious expression looked completely different from the jovial expression he had two months ago.

It’s truly a melting pot!

It’s really a good place to exercise! ——
