The old cadre got convenience, and Qing Lingping could continue chatting with Li Yonggang, and she felt comfortable doing so.

Otherwise, the person lying on the other lower bunk was a middle-aged male cadre, and Qing Lingping would definitely feel uncomfortable sleeping on the lower bunk opposite.

For dinner, the two of them still went to the dining car to eat.

In addition to taking eggs and dry food again, Li Yonggang also opened a box and took out two large melons.

There were more people eating in the dining car in the evening than at noon, but it was still not full.

Qing Lingping ordered four more dishes, and Li Yonggang bought three more beers.

In fact, two glasses of beer were not enough for Li Yonggang, but he did not dare to drink more for fear of losing his composure after drinking too much.

It would be a bad idea to lose your composure in front of the daughter of the base commander whom you just met.

The shaking train was tiring and made people sleepy, so after dinner, the two chatted for a while in the dining car. Around nine o'clock, they returned to the soft sleeper compartment and slept on the upper bunk.

The next day, I didn't go to the dining car for breakfast.

The two cadres went to the dining car to eat.

Li Yonggang took out four boiled eggs, while Qing Lingping took out a bag of Beijing snacks, two bags of lotus root powder and a bag of side dishes from the suitcase.

All the food was placed on the small table by the window.

There are porcelain cups engraved with the railway icon on the dining car, and each person has one cup of lotus root starch.

Qing Lingping only ate one egg, and Li Yonggang ate two eggs.

Eggs are good, but if you eat them continuously, you’ll get tired of them.

For the second lunch, the two of them went to the dining car to eat, and the pattern was similar to yesterday.

While eating their last dinner on the bus, Qing Lingping said, "Captain Li, we won't have dinner in the dining car. Let's fill up on the food we brought with us and eat back when we get off the bus."

Li Yonggang immediately said: "Okay!"

Li Yonggang is looking forward to it.

Li Yonggang felt that Qing Lingping had spent too much money on this journey.

As he spoke, Li Yonggang took out two big melons, one for each of them.

Last night and this afternoon, we ate cantaloupe.

Tonight, we had white melon.

Qing Lingping seems to prefer white melon.

"Captain Li, the melons you brought are so sweet. Are they grown at home?"

"Well, they grow it. My family doesn't have the labor, so we don't grow melons."

Li Yonggang's family only has his paralyzed mother in bed, and there is no labor force left. The private plots are all planted with the easiest-to-care-for crops such as corn by people from the same clan.

Qing Lingping knew whose family they were as soon as she heard it.

"Captain Li, your fiancée is so capable!"

Li Yonggang smiled and said nothing.

At 8:30 in the evening, the train arrived at Nanjiang Station on time.

Just like before, Li Yonggang carried two boxes and Qing Lingping helped carry the big bag.

We consumed a lot of things along the way, so the big bag became a lot lighter.

After getting off the train, Qing Lingping put her bag on the handle above her suitcase.

In this way, Qing Lingping can use the wheels of the suitcase to greatly reduce the burden.

Li Yonggang suddenly felt that Qing Lingping was not as spoiled as the daughter of a high-ranking leader.

As they were about to leave the train station hall, Qing Lingping suddenly waved forward.

Li Yonggang looked forward and saw a soldier holding a sign in front of him.

There were some big red words written on the sign.

Pick-up: Qing Lingping

Li Yonggang immediately understood that the soldier was ordered to pick up Qing Lingping.

At this moment, Li Yonggang suddenly felt the huge gap in status between himself and Qing Lingping.

Li Yonggang, a platoon-level cadre, had no one to pick him up at the station.

"Doctor Qing! I'm here!"

The soldier was afraid that Qing Lingping couldn't see him, so he kept shouting.

"Haha, Xiao Zhao, I see you!"

Qing Lingping also shouted.

The soldier couldn't get into the exit, but he squeezed at the edge of the exit.

Before Qing Lingping walked out of the exit, the soldier reached out and snatched the suitcase from Qing Lingping.

There is Li Yonggang’s big handbag on it.

The soldier said to Qing Lingping with a smile on his face, "Doctor Qing, the car is outside in the square."

The soldier didn't notice Li Yonggang at all.

"Doctor Qing, give me my bag!"

Li Yonggang shouted from behind.

Qing Lingping turned around and looked at Li Yonggang with a little surprise on her face.

The soldier heard Li Yonggang's call, turned around and looked at Li Yonggang with a confused look on his face.

Who is this young officer?

Qing Lingping said to the soldier, "Xiao Zhao, this is Captain Li, from the Marine Division."

"From the Marine Division?!"

The soldier immediately looked at Li Yonggang with admiration.

In the entire navy, almost all officers and soldiers know the reputation of the Marine Division.

However, question marks immediately appeared in the soldier's eyes.

Who is he to Dr. Qing? Isn’t Dr. Qing’s partner the chief of staff of the Beijing Military Region?

The soldier didn't know that Qing Lingping had kicked the two-timing member of the Shen tribe into the trash can.

Qing Lingping could not hide the soldier's expression.

"Oh, we met on the train."

"Oh!"

The soldier finally understood a little.

Just now, Li Yonggang said, "Give me the big bag," and the soldier heard it.

Since this mighty officer is from the Marine Division and Dr. Qing met him on the train, they should go their separate ways now.

So the soldier stood the suitcase up and moved the big bag downstairs.

"Xiao Zhao, don't move it. Put it all in the car."

Qing Lingping said.

Qing Lingping's words not only surprised Xiaobing, but also surprised Li Yonggang.

The soldier wondered, should he take the male officer he just met home?

Li Yonggang had already made plans. After getting off the train, he would take a long-distance bus back to the army.

It is more than forty miles from the train station to the Marine Division.

Of course, the soldier had to obey Qing Lingping's command. He pulled up the suitcase containing the large bag and walked towards the jeep.

"Xiao Zhao, give me my bag!"

Just now Qing Lingping called Xiao Zhao, and Li Yonggang heard it, so he also called Xiao Zhao.

Qing Lingping looked at Li Yonggang: "Captain Li, do you want to return directly to the troops?"

"yes!"

"It's too late." Qing Lingping said, "Long-distance buses stop running at 9 pm, and it's already 9:10."

It took more than half an hour to queue up to get off the bus and then queue up to exit the station.

Li Yonggang was inexperienced and didn't know that long-distance buses stopped running at nine o'clock in the evening. He thought Qing Lingping was kind enough to find an excuse to let him go to her house for dinner.

On the train, Qing Lingping said implicitly that she would eat after getting off the train.

Therefore, Li Yonggang was skeptical about Qing Lingping's words.

The soldier said, "Captain Li, Doctor Qing is right. Long-distance buses stop running at 9 p.m. I know this best."

The staff at the chief's house are all very smart. Just now, when Qing Lingping called Li Yonggang "Team Leader Li", he took note of it.

Li Yonggang finally believed it and turned his head to look around.

"You want to find a hotel, right?" Qing Lingping said, "There are no hotels nearby."
