Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

"Comrade Yu, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you back from the mountain?"

Yu Jiang didn't have a bad impression of Xin Qin, so he didn't get disappointed with Xin Qin's question: "Yes, there has been plenty of rain recently, and it's the season for these mountain products to grow. Should I go and join in the fun?"

How could Xin Qin not know that there were good things in the mountains?

It’s a pity that I have to go to work every day, so it’s impossible for me to go into the mountains like Yu Jiang and stay there for a whole day.

What's more, there are not only wild game and mountain products in the mountains, but also dangerous animals.

It is said that before she joined the army, an aunt from the staff housing estate went to the mountains to collect mountain products, and by chance she met a blind bear strolling in the mountains.

I don't know whether I should say that she was lucky. If other people encountered a blind bear, they would most likely only become nutrients in the mountains, but that old lady managed to escape from the bear's mouth. Although she lost a leg, at least she saved her life.

Since then, no one in the family compound dared to go into the mountains. Usually, they would just go in groups to pick up firewood or something near the foot of the mountain.

The mountains were only searched and cleaned twice a year by the military, who would bring down a bunch of game and send it to the canteen to improve the food.

After Yu Jiang arrived, he rarely interacted with the people in the family compound, so naturally he didn't know these well-known things.

Lu Beiyuan knew this, but he knew his wife's abilities even better, so he naturally wouldn't try to dissuade her in a disappointing way.

Even when someone kindly reminded him and asked him to tell Yu Jiang that the mountains were dangerous, Lu Beiyuan would help Yu Jiang explain that she had been to the mountains many times before and had means to save her life, so there was no need to worry about her getting into trouble in the mountains.

Although the people who heard this still didn't believe in Yu Jiang's abilities as described by Lu Beiyuan, since the man had said so, they naturally couldn't say anything more.

It was not until Yu Jiang returned safely from the mountain more than once a day and brought back large and small bags of things, including various large and small game, that the people in the family compound believed that Yu Jiang was really capable.

At the same time, the idea of ​​going up the mountain resurfaced in their minds.

Seeing others making good things in the mountains, the military families who had not dared to go up the mountain before due to the danger became eager to go, especially the new military families who had never experienced incidents of people being bitten by blind bears. At that time, no matter how much people persuaded them, they just wanted to go up the mountain to pick up mountain products.

After Lu Beiyuan found out, he went to see the political commissar and asked him to emphasize the safety issues when going to the mountains and to have his men keep their families under control.

It’s not that Lu Beiyuan is really so kind. After all, this matter was started by Yu Jiang. If something really happens, Yu Jiang will most likely be implicated or even blamed.

That’s why Lu Beiyuan reiterated to the troops about the dangers in the mountains, so that if something really happened later, it would not easily involve the couple.

But this is just in case, and the best outcome is that no one gets hurt.

Xin Qin didn't know what Yu Jiang and Lu Beiyuan were planning, but when she saw Yu Jiang returning with a full load, she didn't say anything about the dangers on the mountain or persuade Yu Jiang not to go up the mountain again. She just told her to be careful.

The two walked for a while, and Xin Qin finally remembered what she had always wanted to ask Yu Jiang.

"Although it may be a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask, Comrade Yu, are you really not pregnant?"

Yu Jiang:......

This rumor has finally found its source, right?!

Yu Jiang took a deep breath and tried to slow down his tone: "Comrade Xin, why did you believe those rumors? Just look at my figure and energy. Do I look like someone who is pregnant and needs to stay at home to take care of the baby?"

This made sense. Xin Qin looked at Yu Jiang again and finally believed the fact that she was not pregnant.

But Xin Qin just felt it was a pity...

After all, she was really looking forward to the baby born from Lu Beiyuan and Yu Jiang, two very handsome guys!

She couldn't even imagine how good-looking their future baby would be!

Yes, Xin Qin had a crush on Lu Beiyuan in the past, and even pursued him openly.

But she is not a person who is shameless and without measure. After learning that Lu Beiyuan was married, Xin Qin unilaterally retreated to the position of a friend.

In order to avoid suspicion, Xin Qin never appeared in front of Lu Beiyuan alone in the year after Lu Beiyuan got married.

Although Lu Beiyuan didn’t know any of this.

However, in contrast, Xin Qin began to look forward to the baby that Lu Beiyuan and Yu Jiang would have in the future.

There's nothing I can do about it, that's just how face control is.

Although Yu Jiang had only been to the army twice so far, he had stayed there for less than a month in total.

Lu Beiyuan was also a well-known busy man. He was either on missions or on the way to missions every day. He spent very little time in the army.

When Xin Qin heard that Yu Jiang was pregnant, she was very happy for a long time, waiting to see if she would have the opportunity to get close to Yu Jiang and their baby.

It’s a pity that the news was false, and Xin Qin was disappointed for a while.

But now she has a better plan!

As long as I make friends with Yu Jiang and establish a long-term relationship, would I still be afraid that I won't be able to see Yu Jiang and his future baby?

"Comrade Yu, can I call you Yu Jiang?"

He Zhile was the only little girl who was so enthusiastic and familiar to Yu Jiang.

Although Ye Yuyin is also lively, they have been in a working environment for a long time after all, and Yu Jiang is a serious and strict person at work.

This also led to the fact that people in their laboratory rarely joked in front of her.

But now, here comes He Zhile 2.0?

"It's up to you. The name is just a code name. You can call me whatever you want."

These words seemed to give Xin Qin great encouragement. Although Yu Jiang still looked cold and aloof, there was great hope that their relationship could be further improved!

Xin Qin suddenly felt full of motivation and continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Lu Tuan is busy in the army all day long, Yu Jiang, you must be bored staying in the family compound alone, right?

I don't have work tomorrow, do you want to go to the county together?"

In fact, Xin Qin wanted to invite Yu Jiang to her home, but she was just a poor person living in a dormitory. Inviting Yu Jiang to her home was not reliable at all.

But she couldn't possibly take the initiative to suggest going to Yu Jiang's house to play. Although she was carefree, she still had some basic sense of propriety in doing things.

Therefore, it seemed to be the best choice for her, who was familiar with the environment, to take Yu Jiang to the county town for fun.

Yu Jiang thought about it and decided that she would invite Lu Beiyuan’s comrades to dinner in a few days. Since she had someone to accompany her, she could also go and buy everything she wanted.

"Okay, let's go early and buy some things while the supply and marketing cooperative is open."

So, the two of them made an appointment for the next trip.

After hearing about this, Lu Beiyuan felt sorry that he could not accompany Yu Jiang, but he still helped them find comrades in charge of logistics and purchasing, so that they could take Yu Jiang and the others on the journey smoothly.

"What? Yu Jiang, you said you're leaving soon?

Even the road regiment will be transferred to other troops? ! "

At that time, the two of them were taking a ride to the county town for shopping. Xin Qin excitedly told Yu Jiang that the July 1st Army would have a performance by an art troupe, and that they could go together to watch and join in the fun.

Unexpectedly, Xin Qin received an unexpected news.

Not only will Yu Jiang not stay in the army for long due to work, even Lu Tuan will be promoted and leave the Y Province army!

This is really...

What great news!

"Lu Tuan is leaving the army? How come I have never heard of this news before! Apart from the leader, I am not the first person to know this news, am I?"

"Don't worry, Lu Beiyuan has completed all the necessary procedures and formalities. A notice will be sent out in the next two days. If you were in the army today, you would probably know the news without me relaying it."

Yu Jiang naturally knew the rules of the army. Serious matters like promotion had never been finalized and could not be discussed casually before the official notification from the army.

However, Lu Beiyuan told Yu Jiang yesterday that the army would issue a formal notice this morning and his transfer order would also be issued at the same time.

So now Yu Jiang has said that there is no problem of any violation of discipline.

"Ah! You've only been here for a short time, and you're leaving already!"

Yu Jiang smiled and pretended to be helpless: "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, it is the leaders' request, and Lu Beiyuan is just following the arrangement."

But even though Yu Jiang comforted her in this way, Xin Qin still felt very sad. She had finally managed to get along well with Yu Jiang, and was just saying that she would keep working hard and strive to hold Yu Jiang's baby in the future.

But why are they leaving now?

Will I have another chance later?
