177 176: departure

Pfft--

The last sentence actually made Kang Xiaoqiao laugh. Then, she hugged Kang Daqiao, and her eyes were wet. She was such a silly sister. She was so afraid, so timid, and so patient. For her, she would risk everything.

How could she not respect her sister? No matter how many shortcomings Kang Daqiao had, her feelings for her were incomparable.

Kang Xiaoqiao hugged Kang Daqiao's body tightly. After calming down, she said in a hoarse voice, "Sister, you are fine at home. You are being mistreated. Nothing in this family is more important than you."

"After I leave, you have to eat well and sleep well. If you like to talk to those sisters in the Wilderness, then talk to them. If you don't like them, then order them to leave. Don't be embarrassed."

"You don't have to care about the Wang family. I'll ask Lu Yichen to remind them that the Wang family can't enter the courtyard. Wait for me to come back and settle the score with them..."

Kang Xiaoqiao gave a lot of advice. When Kang Daqiao saw her little sister like this, her tears fell. After so many years, her little sister was the best to her. "Little sister, don't worry. I'll definitely guard the house well for you."

"Little sister, you have to take care of yourself too. If there's anything, you can discuss it with brother-in-law. Brother-in-law will definitely make a decision for you..."

Kang Daqiao's face was full of reluctance. She held onto Kang Xiaoqiao's hand and refused to let go.

At this moment, the car in the ministry had already arrived. Lu Yichen was sitting in the front passenger seat. He saw Kang Daqiao holding onto Kang Xiaoqiao's hand and crying non-stop while Kang Xiaoqiao listened so patiently. They did not part for a long time, but he did not say a word and just watched.

The relationship between the two sisters did not seem to work. According to his investigation, Kang Xiaoqiao was indeed Kang Xiaoqiao. She was definitely not replaced. However, what was the reason that could make a person suddenly become enlightened?

In her dream, she dreamed of the white-bearded old man. Heh, this darn girl really knew how to spout nonsense. It was definitely not because of this. However, there was no rush. He would find out sooner or later.

Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Yichen shouted, "It's almost time. It's time to set off."

Upon seeing this, Kang Xiaoqiao... Reaching out a hand, she patted her sister's shoulder and said, "Sister, quickly wipe away your tears. I'll be back in a few days. If you miss me, make more delicious food. Also, help me eat my portion. Once you've made all the food I like, I'll be back."

Pfft -- Kang Daqiao burst into laughter.

Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes were full of smiles. Separation was for a better reunion. Kang Xiaoqiao had already experienced too much, so even if she was reluctant, she could leave rationally.

The car quickly drove out of the military compound. Kang Daqiao's figure slowly became smaller. Kang Xiaoqiao remained silent. She was used to hiding her sadness in her heart. She had more important things to do.

This trip to the provincial capital was a very good opportunity. The person Cui Huihui introduced to her had been too busy and couldn't come to the military compound. This time, she was going to see him.

After all, she did not belong here. She was an ambitious person. How could she be willing to be mediocre?

The scenery outside the window kept changing. The corn had grown to the height of half a person. It was almost August now. Sooner or later, the weather would be cooler, and it would be the hottest at noon.

The ministry's car would send the two of them to the railway station in Daqiao town. The rest of the journey could only be taken by the two of them.

They were silent the entire way. Even Lu Yichen did not say a word. The one who came to send them off was the young soldier surnamed Wang. When he saw Kang Xiaoqiao, he was completely stunned.

It had only been a while since they last met, but the sister-in-law of Unit Lu had changed so much that he almost couldn't recognize her.

Kang Xiaoqiao was wearing the outfit that she had given Cui Huihui the other day. She wore short-sleeved overalls, white sports shoes, and a ponytail. Her bangs had grown a little longer, and Kang Xiaoqiao could braid them into small braids so that they could be combed up on her smooth forehead. She didn't cover it up.

She had put on light makeup before going out. At this moment, she no longer looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl. Instead, she was a beautiful, big girl. Lu Yichen agreed with her when he saw her.

He did not want to bring a middle-school student home, even though Kang Xiaoqiao was about the same age as a middle-school student.

Kang Xiaoqiao really did not have any clothes to wear, and it was not convenient for her to wear a skirt on the train. Therefore, after thinking about it, it was more appropriate for her to wear suspenders.

In this way, she looked young and pretty, and every frown and smile carried the warmth of the sun.

It did not take long for the car to arrive at the railway station of Daqiao town. This was a small railway station, and it was very simple. However, the moment Lu Yichen and Kang Xiaoqiao got off the car, they were noticed by people. They were really handsome men and beautiful women, and they were very attractive.

Fortunately, there were not many people at the railway station. The tickets had been booked early in the morning. Not long after, the roar of the train could be heard. Xiao Wang picked up the luggage of the two very diligently and sent them to the carriage.

This was a green-skinned slow train. Almost all the stations had to stop. Moreover, there were no sleeper carriages. All of them were hard seats.

Fortunately, there were not many people going out at this time of the year. Most of them went out on official business. There were very few people who went to visit their relatives. The moment the two of them entered the carriage, they received a lot of attention.

The main reason was to look at Lu Yichen. Because his military uniform was too eye-catching, the two of them found their seats. Xiao Wang saluted and went back.

Kang Xiaoqiao and the others sat in two seats. She sat by the window, while Lu Yichen sat at the side with a straight face. Opposite them sat a man and a woman.

The man looked like he was in his thirties. He was wearing a formal Chinese tunic suit. At this time, people who could wear a Chinese tunic suit were usually cadres.

He had a round face and was smiling. He looked very amiable.

The woman looked like she was in her early twenties. She wore two braids on her chest. Her looks were, well, considered to be not bad. This evaluation was not low. The other party had a long face and arched eyebrows. Her facial features were very three-dimensional. Her looks could not be considered ugly, but... At a glance, she looked like a mean person.

She was wearing a white shirt, a pair of black bell-bottomed pants, and a pair of black leather shoes. She looked very arrogant. It was also true that in the current era, the way she dressed was very fashionable.

Even so, when she saw the two of them, her eyes still lit up. To be exact, when she saw Lu Yichen, her eyes lit up, and then her small face turned slightly red.

Although she didn't say anything, she would occasionally glance at them. However, when she saw Kang Xiaoqiao, she wasn't so friendly. After glancing at her from top to bottom, she snorted and ignored them. Kang Xiaoqiao, who was lying on the ground and had been shot, expressed her helplessness.

When the round-faced man saw the two of them sitting down, he smiled and greeted them. "Did this officer bring his wife home to visit his family?"

Lu Yichen looked at the man and nodded. "That's right."

The man smiled. "The two of you have extraordinary bearing. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. You two are truly a match made in heaven. I've traveled all over the world, and this is the first time I've seen such a pair of newlyweds."
