Chapter 1367: Chapter 1367: Return to the Military 2

Feng Qingxue and her son bid farewell to the old leader at the hospital entrance, not planning to follow him back to the compound.

Before getting into the vehicle, the old leader instructed the staff who stayed behind, "Take good care of Xibao and her child. Ensure they eat well and feel secure while in the Capital, and have a smooth departure when they leave. The mother and son have put in a lot of effort for Comrade Luo’s return journey."

"Rest assured!" Who would dare neglect them?

They were VIPs among the leaders, Luo Cheng’s lifesavers; each of their roles was too significant to be overlooked.

Wang Xinsheng, who was a bit late getting on the vehicle, invited Feng Qingxue to stay at his home for a couple of days until the snow stopped before departing. Feng Qingxue, concerned about Fubao and the triplets, declined with a shake of her head, preparing to return immediately. Wang Xinsheng had no choice but to have Shi Hong take them to the train station.

Although the initial plan was to send them directly to the troop by car, Feng Qingxue didn’t want to waste resources and insisted on leaving by train.

Wang Xinsheng knew her temperament well and admired it, eventually conceding.

Shi Hong drove Wang Xinsheng’s car, while Wang Xinsheng returned in Commander Lu’s vehicle.

When their car arrived at the train station, it caused quite a stir. The station master and the district manager came out, and upon learning that Feng Qingxue wished to travel to Baozhou, they immediately made thorough arrangements.

There was more than one train from the Capital heading south through Baozhou, available at various times.

With a heart eager to return home, Feng Qingxue chose the train leaving just after eleven. She and her son quickly boarded.

They did not choose a sleeper berth but rather a hard seat.

The distance between the two stations was a little over a hundred kilometres, and this express train would take about two hours. They would get off just after having lunch, timing it just right.

It was also snowing in Baozhou, seemingly just starting, with only a thin layer on the ground.

"Mom, we’re pitiful. No one has come to pick us up!" Xibao, whose legs had grown numb from sitting, bounced around and said, "We forgot to give dad a call!"

Feng Qingxue had also neglected this, but she wouldn’t admit it. "Silly son, if no one comes to pick us up, we’ll go home by ourselves. There’s a bus!"

Although the troop’s campground was located in a rather remote area, there was a dedicated bus route.

Just as in the Capital, it was the same here. After all, soldiers without a certain rank did not have military vehicles provided, and without buses, it would be inconvenient to travel home. They always had to get to the train station first and then buy tickets to go home!

As the mother and son were about to head to the bus station to look for a bus, Xibao spotted the vehicle assigned to Lu Jiang by the unit and cheered!

"Mom, mom, the car’s here!" Xibao pointed forth.

Feng Qingxue was about to scold her son for talking nonsense—how could the troop know that they were coming back and send a car specially to pick them up? But she couldn’t utter a word, because through the blurry snow, she saw that the vehicle was indeed the one assigned to her husband by the unit.

Driver Xiaowang pulled up in front of them and got out, "Sister-in-law!"

"How did you know we’d arrive at this time?"

In response to Feng Qingxue’s question, Xiaowang, while taking her first-aid kit, said with a smile, "The unit received a phone call from the Capital, asking us to arrange for someone to come pick up sister-in-law and Xibao."

An order from above, who would dare to disregard it?

Although it wasn’t directly through Lu Jiang, they ended up using Lu Jiang’s car, mainly because Feng Qingxue and Xiaowang were quite familiar with each other.

Feng Qingxue repeatedly thanked him, and Xibao nodded along, "Thank you, Uncle Xiaowang. We can go home now. A day apart feels like an eternity. I’ve almost died of missing my little brothers, sister, and dad and older brother!"

"I wonder how mischievous Erxiong has been after a day apart!"
