After Tian Mei left, Yan Jinqi held the water cup and carefully read her name, Tian Mei?

She is indeed a sweet sister, but why do I always feel that this name is familiar?

But she didn't know anyone named Tian Mei.

She stayed in the camp for two days before she realized that this was a temporary camp built by an engineering corps to build a dam. Other people also lived in tents or mud houses, and some even slept in the open air.

The captain of the engineering corps who rescued her was called Ling Dawei, a tall, strong man with a loud and rough voice. He looked upright and was an upright person, and both of them were several years older than her.

Ling Dawei only spoke a few words to her and simply asked about her physical condition.

She accidentally discovered that there was some ambiguous atmosphere between Ling Dawei and Tian Mei. After asking the soldier next to her, she found out that they were a couple and had already given birth to a boy who was six or seven years old.

She felt that the couple was a good match. One was tall and strong, the other was pretty and sweet. Both of them were cheerful and good-looking. They looked very young, and the baby they had would definitely be handsome.

Under Tian Mei's careful care, she recovered quickly.

However, her application to return to her original unit was never received, and her comrades were hunted down by spies, leaving her the only one alive.

She felt that this matter was a bit strange. The operation was supposed to be top secret, so how could it be discovered so easily by the spies? Moreover, the spies were wearing our military uniforms, which meant that they had infiltrated. If she could not return to her original unit, the mission would fail, and the confidential documents would be leaked, with disastrous consequences.

But there was nothing she could do now but wait.

The camp where the dam was being built was cold but there was not much food, but it was also quiet and suitable for recuperation.

The engineers were all very motivated. Although there was not much food in the camp, Captain Ling would find a way to get something from the mountains or rivers every day to satisfy everyone's cravings.

Sometimes fellow villagers would come and give us some food.

Now that they were so poor, she couldn't help but think of the fine clothes and delicious food at home. Although there were no delicacies from land and sea, it was much better than the thin sorghum and millet porridge here.

But joining the army is her life ambition, so this little hardship is nothing.

Her second and third brothers have died in the battlefield. She only hopes that she can carry on their wishes and become a female soldier to serve the motherland. Of course, it would be best if she could survive and return home.

She missed her parents, her eldest brother and her fifth younger brother.

"q61, what are you thinking about? Are you missing home?" Tian Mei came over with a jar and handed her a cornmeal cake.

She took it and said, "Thank you, Sister Tian. I didn't think much of anything. I just wanted to see the dam. I wonder when it will be completed? How long will it take?"

Tian Mei took a bite of her own steamed bun and answered vaguely, "It will take another month. It's not spring yet, and the ice and snow upstream will melt after spring."

"Every year when the rainy season comes, the crops here will be soaked by water. The people are suffering. In recent years, there have been famines and the harvests have been poor. All the crops we planted were flooded. We must repair it as soon as possible so that crops won't be flooded when we plant them in the spring. Over there, to the east, there are flood discharge measures, which are also being repaired. It is estimated that they will be completed a little later than ours."

Yan Jinqi looked in the direction of Tian Mei's finger and saw that they were indeed digging a separate reservoir. "Then if we release the flood water, we can store the water and use it when it dries up?"

"Smart. The weather here is pretty bad, either floods or droughts. This way, we can achieve a balance and grow crops well."

"I see! Hey, Sister Tian, ​​I heard that you and Captain Ling have been married for many years?"

Tian Mei blushed a little and fiddled with the big braid on her shoulder. "Yes, we got married early and our eldest son is already six years old."

Yan Jinqi smiled, "That's great. To be honest, you don't look older than me at all. I thought you were the same age as me. Sister Tian, ​​have you and Captain Ling always been in the Engineering Corps? I don't think you studied medicine, so why are you taking care of patients here?"

"Hey, young girls like you have sharp eyes. That's right, we are actually not from the engineering corps. We both used to be armed. We went to the battlefield and met on the border. There was a shortage of military doctors and nurses at that time, and there were not many female soldiers. The few female soldiers simply learned some first aid knowledge. Later, he was injured and I happened to be bandaging him. When we chatted, we found out that we were from the same hometown, and that's how we gradually got in touch."

"Then why are you two here at the Engineering Corps? It seems like you have nothing in common."

Tian Mei smiled and took a bite of the steamed bun. "Maybe it's because of Dawei's amazing talent as an engineer. He can read blueprints naturally without any training. He is also very good at practical operations and is a good leader. In addition, he was seriously injured after the battle. If he didn't join the engineering corps, he would have to go back to his hometown to farm. But we are both so young, and he is interested in these things, so he listened to the advice from above and joined the engineering corps. As for me, I naturally followed him."

Yan Jinqi looked at Tian Mei's sunny face and knew that this must be the charm of love.

Although she doesn't understand love and has no one she likes.

However, she hoped that if she could return home alive, she could find someone who understood her feelings, just like Tian Mei and Ling Dawei.

Three days later, she finally received a call from her former unit.

He said someone would be sent to pick her up in two days and asked her to stay where she was.

Now that she has completely recovered, she believes that she cannot eat the food of the Engineering Corps and her fellow villagers for free.

I also rolled up my sleeves to help with the work.

Working, chatting and singing with everyone, I felt that time passed very quickly, but I was also very happy.

The two days passed quickly.

The car from my former unit also arrived as promised.

Ling Dawei made a brief handover with the person, checked the documents and procedures, and then he and Tian Mei sent her to the car.

She was reluctant to leave this place, especially since Tian Mei kept chattering in her ears about the battlefield, dam building, and Ling Dawei every day. It seemed to have become a habit for her.

Tian Mei said she also wanted to have a daughter.

She sincerely hoped and wished that they could have another lovely daughter in the future, just like Tian Mei.

The car that came to pick her up drove farther and farther away.

But a few hours later she realized something was wrong. This road was not the way back to her original unit.

"Comrade, this road is wrong, we should take the road to the west. If you take this road, won't we be heading back to the direction of the Engineer Corps?"

The person in the driver's seat didn't say anything, but the person in the passenger seat spoke up, "That's right, there's something wrong with that road, let's go around this way."

Yan Jinqi was half-believing and half-doubting, and carefully observed the two people in the front row.

She looked carefully at the collars and cuffs of the two men's clothes, and found no logos of their units!

Finished!

Alarm bells rang in her heart! These might be fake spies! The telegram must have been intercepted by them. They were not from her original unit at all!

She calmed herself down and said, "Comrade, if we take a detour, how long will it take us?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the car drove into a bumpy dirt road and slowed down instantly.

The co-pilot was a little impatient, but still answered, "I don't know. It depends on whether the road is easy to drive on."

While the man was talking, she put her hand on the car door handle.

When the car slowed down again, she quickly opened the door and jumped out! After running more than ten meters, she heard someone behind her shouting, "Fuck! He ran away! Chase him!"
