Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Heading to the Frontier 2

The teenager didn’t have the slightest wariness towards strangers and answered directly, "My name is Zhao Xiaoyun. What about you guys?"

Upon hearing this surname, Guan Cheng’s heart stirred, and for some reason, his first thought was of Zhao Yong and Guo Xiuying. Since he often heard Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue mention them, when Zhao Xiaoyun said his parents were in the military, Guan Cheng thought of them.

Could it really be such a coincidence? Guan Cheng didn’t dare to think too deeply.

At that moment, Lu Tianzhi already answered Zhao Xiaoyun’s question, telling him his three brothers’ names in turn.

Perhaps because they had exchanged names and because they hit it off at first sight, the two young men chatted warmly and openly with each other.

"Your surnames are different? Aren’t you real brothers? Tianzhi, you and Guan Yu look so alike, just like twins. I thought you were real brothers!" Zhao Xiaoyun said as he scratched his head, "But on this trip to find my parents, I should see triplets, belonging to my dad’s comrade’s family. I wonder what they look like."

As soon as they heard the word ’triplets,’ the three Guan brothers immediately looked at each other.

"What’s your dad’s name?" Lu Tianzhi asked. "How do you know about your dad’s comrade having triplets?"

Zhao Xiaoyun answered with a cheerful smile, "My dad’s last name is, of course, Zhao, and his first name is Zhao Yong, which means ’bravery that no one dares to confront.’ My dad’s comrade, Uncle Lu, is my dad’s life-saving benefactor. When his family had a child, of course, we’d know about it!"

He coughed twice and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I overheard it when my dad was talking to my grandpa on the phone. I was squatting under the window eavesdropping. My grandpa kept mentioning Xibao. I’ve never seen triplets before and wanted to see them, as well as meet that Xibao, a lovely Little Fatty I saw in a family photo. So, I went to my hometown to find my grandma and from there took the train to the army base. My grandma even gave me a basket of eggs and a few bags of fine grain to bring along, but I have no idea if the eggs will spoil by the time I get to the base."

Hearing him mention the triplets and Xibao, the Guan brothers were certain of his identity, and they couldn’t help but marvel at such an astonishing coincidence.

"Unless it gets really bumpy, they should be fine, especially with the weather being so cold," Lu Tianzhi comforted him. "Also, I heard from the ticket seller that this train is an express, the fastest train there is. It’s twice as fast as the trains from a few years ago, meaning it saves half the time. Look, we’ve also brought a basket of eggs, and our chicken cage has four hens in it."

Upon hearing that they were going to visit relatives in the military, Wang Fengqiao and her two elder brothers immediately caught a hen from home for them to bring along; another was a gift from Jiang He, along with the eggs they had saved up.

Wang Zhenguo and Miao Fengqin would have liked to contribute too, but Wang Jiao was in confinement, and they had sent everything to her.

Zhao Xiaoyun looked down and indeed saw the chicken cage, which was slightly smaller than ordinary chicken cages.

"Haha, you guys are even more impressive than I am! I brought eggs, and you brought hens? Is it also because someone is in confinement?"

Guan Cheng smiled slightly, "We don’t know if our aunt will have come out of confinement by the time we arrive, but hens aren’t just for confinement. They’re meant to nourish her health, so they can be eaten at any time."

"That’s true! As long as nobody else benefits. Oh, right, are you guys also going to visit relatives?" Zhao Xiaoyun finally remembered to ask this question. "Those going there to visit relatives are either sent down to the third-line workers, military personnel, or educated youths supporting national construction, unable to return home for many years. Which category does your aunt fall into?"
