Military marriage, the last big man married the soldier king, the stronger the stronger

Jiang Yan looked at the man and couldn't help but tentatively called out, "Bao Tielu?"

Hearing the voice, Bao Tielu quickly stood up. He looked at Jiang Yan and pulled down the scarf on his face, revealing a slightly weather-beaten face.

He is only one year older than Jiang Yan, but at this moment he looks as if he is several years older than Jiang Yan, and looks like a man who is almost thirty years old.

Jiang Yan waved at him. Since he had come here, he must be looking for her.

Bao Tielu was encouraged, and the educated youth Xiao Jiang was still the same as before and did not despise them.

Bao Tielu hurried over and came to Jiang Yan. He was wearing a military coat, a cotton hat, and cotton shoes issued by the army. It looked like he had worn them for several years and the front was patched.

Those were hard times, and no one would laugh at him.

"Brother Bao San, why are you here?" Shouldn't he be in the army now? Why did he come to the capital to find her?

"Something happened at home?"

Jiang Yan knew that he was a sullen person, so she just asked directly.

Bao Tielu first smiled innocently, then opened his mouth wide, revealing a row of big white teeth.

"Well, Xiao Jiang, the educated youth, I, I embarrassed you. I only worked in the army for two years and then I retired." He was not smart and his physical fitness was average. He was already satisfied to be a soldier for two years.

"Is everything okay at home?"

Bao Tielu's eyes suddenly turned red, "Little Jiang the educated youth..."

After he said this, he suddenly realized that it was now 1977 or 1980, and most of the educated youth had already returned to the city. It would be a bit inappropriate to call Jiang Yan "Little Jiang the educated youth" anymore.

Jiang Yan saw his embarrassment and said, "We are so familiar with each other, you can call me whatever you want. Let's go home first. We can talk about it when we get back."

"Hey."

Although Bao Tielu is still a little shy, his personality has changed a lot compared to before. Two years of military service has broadened his horizons and increased his knowledge.

When entering the door, he saluted the guard standing at the gate with his body straight, which was a sign of respect from a veteran.

"Xiao Jiang...Um, Miss Xiao Jiang, is it convenient?"

He only has a small bag on his body and he came here from far away. Something must have happened. You can't just not let him in the door or even drink water.

"It's convenient. What's inconvenient about it? You've met my lover."

"Yes, Captain Si is really amazing." He is already the captain at only in his twenties.

"He is not the leader anymore."

Bao Tielu was pleasantly surprised. "So, he was promoted to brigade commander? Oh my god, that's amazing."

"No, he is now the director, or deputy."

Director, what is that? There is no director in the army.

The two of them arrived home quickly, and when they saw the Si family's detached small building, Bao Tielu didn't dare to enter the yard.

"Let's go."

"that……"

"Oh, it's okay, come in."

Bao Tielu then followed Jiang Yan into the yard.

"Mom, aunt, I'm back with guests."

As if Xiaobai smelled something, he jumped out, startling Bao Tielu, but he quickly recognized him. "Xiaobai, how come you've grown so big? What a good dog."

Xiaobai came close to Bao Shengli's legs and sniffed them carefully, while his tail began to wag intermittently.

When it was young, it was often taken home by the Bao family to be fed and lived in the Bao family for a long time.

Ning Yu and Si Xinnian came out and saw Bao Tielu who was a little bit at a loss.

"This is……"

"Yanyan, introduce yourself to us."

"It's cold outside, let's talk inside. Come on, young man, let's talk inside."

Bao Tielu walked into the house flattered and stood at the door a little awkwardly. "Um, aunt, I'm from the Northeast, and my last name is Bao."

Ning Yu suddenly remembered that the team leader of the village where Jiang Yan went to work seemed to be named Bao.

"Is it the one from the Victory Brigade?"

"Yes, Mom, this is the captain's youngest son, Bao Tielu, he is also older than me, and he used to take good care of me in the village."

"Oh, I've heard it. Come on, kid, come in and sit down." Ning Yu poured him a cup of hot water, "Drink some water to warm yourself up."

The two little kids ran out. They were not afraid of strangers. They stood in front of Bao Shengli with their hands behind their backs like leaders inspecting him, and asked him, "Who are you?"

Chaochao talks a lot, but Mumu is silent. She just stands beside her sister as if to cheer her on.

"Oh, you two have one more little guy, and you're meddling in things."

Ning Yu laughed hard, "You should call me uncle, right?"

"You should call me uncle."

The Bao family knew that Jiang Yan had given birth to a child. They had sent gifts to her twice before, but later Jiang Yan wrote to them not to send any more. The main reason was that their lives were not easy and the two children needed nothing.

Bao Tielu quickly opened the bundle and took out two small pieces of clothing from it. They were covered with embroidery, which was eye-catching.

"This was embroidered by my mother. She said it was a good omen and asked me to bring it to my child. Aunt, please don't despise it. There are not many good things in the countryside. We were not allowed to make this a few years ago, but now we are allowed to do so. My mother has picked up the craft again."

"Oh." Ning Yu was surprised and delighted. "This embroidery is so good. Your mother is so skillful. Thank you. This thing cannot be bought. How can you dislike it? You are so thoughtful."

"Chao Chao Mu Mu, thank your uncle quickly."

Chao Chao looked at the beautiful little clothes and exclaimed, almost drooling.

"Thank you, uncle." She lowered her head and touched the flowers on her clothes, her little mouth making sweet sounds.

Ning Yu and Si Xinnian were about to laugh to death. This little girl was too kind to them.

They have come all the way here, so they must have something going on. I'm afraid I can't open my mouth if I'm here.

"Well, uncle of the child, please sit down. Let's take the child back to the house to have some water. If you have anything to say, just talk to Yanyan. Don't be polite."

"Oh." Bao Tielu was a little panicked, but the Si family members were very friendly, and the uneasiness in his heart was relieved a lot.

When there was no one else in the hall, Jiang Yan asked him, "Third brother, tell me the truth, what's going on? Did you get into trouble in the Northeast and run away, or is there some difficulty at home?"

Bao Shengli's eyes turned red, "Little Sister Jiang, my dad is dying."

Jiang Yan thought of several possibilities, but didn't expect this answer.

"What do you mean by no way? Explain clearly."

"My dad is sick and very thin. The doctor said it was lung cancer. Our county hospital couldn't treat it, so they told us to go to a big hospital. My family paid for the treatment in the city, but the city said he needed surgery, but he would only live another six months. When my dad heard that, he said he didn't want any treatment and insisted that the doctor prescribe some medicine so he could go home and recuperate."

His tears fell, "He has lost a lot of weight. He is dying. He wants to see you. He misses you."

Jiang Yan felt bad. "Why did you go all the way here? If you had sent a telegram to let me know, I would have gone there immediately. It would have taken so much time to go back and forth."
