Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Forgot to Send a Telegram_1
Yunhan’s father, having returned home, had completely forgotten to send a telegram to the military camp.
It was only when he woke up in the middle of the night that he remembered.
But on second thoughts, his wife and Hanhan were both worried about Ahao going to the battlefield; even if he sent a telegram, there was nobody to receive it at the camp.
Hanhan had been to the camp before and should know the way.
Three days later, Meng Yunhan carried Little Huzi on her back, as well as a big bag of things for the little one.
Mother Yun, on the other hand, carried the suitcase. Originally, Meng Yunhan had intended for Mother Yun to carry Little Huzi while she carried everything else. Even though she had recently given birth, she did have some strength left.
“Mother, let’s eat something first, then go to the camp,” she said.
These past few days, they had been living on dry rations. Because she had been eating so little, her breast milk had also decreased significantly. She was relieved that Little Huzi was still young; otherwise, he would definitely be fussing.
Mother Yun had no choice but to agree.
Meng Yunhan took them to the familiar eatery. They ordered two dishes, several steamed buns, and some thin porridge.
Now that they had eaten their fill, their complexion had improved immensely. Nevertheless, under the scorching sun, they trudged towards the camp.
Halfway through, Meng Yunhan put Little Huzi down and handed him to Mother Yun to carry while she carried the suitcase.
Mother Yun had no choice but to agree, and with Little Huzi on her back, they continued towards the camp.
After several gruelling hours, both mother and daughter-in-law, exhausted beyond words, finally reached the camp.
The soldier guarding the gate was taken aback when he saw Meng Yunhan.
Meng Yunhan was aware that they would have to register upon arrival at the camp.
Upon hearing the soldier’s report of Meng Yunhan’s arrival, Lu Jianjun abandoned his duties and rushed over.
“Xiaolu, you’re here. Where’s your commander?” Meng Yunhan asked with a smile on her face.
She also glanced behind Lu Jianjun, and for quite a while, there was no one to be seen.
Could something really have happened?
But if Lu Jianjun is here, could Yun Hao be on a mission?
Hearing Meng Yunhan speculate thus, Mother Yun fixed her gaze on Lu Jianjun intently.
Being stared at by the two women, Lu Jianjun evaded their gaze.
“Sister-in-law, let’s take the belongings to the commander’s dormitory first.” Lu Jianjun hoisted the suitcase and led the way, bag in hand.
Meng Yunhan had originally intended to put Little Huzi down and carry him, but Mother Yun shook her head in refusal. The two women trailed behind Lu Jianjun, arguing with each other.
Back when Meng Yunhan had visited, Yun Hao had applied for a separate quarters. But after Yunhan left, he had moved back into his old dormitory. Hence, Lu Jianjun led the three of them to Yun Hao’s dorm.
Although Yun Hao had not been residing in the dormitory for several months, it was impeccably clean, devoid of any speck of dust.
“Sister-in-law, this is the commander’s quarters,” Lu Jianjun informed her.
Meng Yunhan noticed that the dormitory was the same as when she had visited the previous year, only less lively.
“Mother, you’re carrying the commander’s son, aren’t you?”
Meng Yunhan paused for a moment before putting Little Huzi down. On reaching the camp, the little fellow immediately started crying, his loud wails filling the air. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
Meng Yunhan gave Lu Jianjun an apologetic glance.
She picked up Little Huzi and started to soothe him.
“This young fellow, let’s talk about this outside.” Mother Yun knew that Little Huzi was hungry and that her daughter-in-law would be too shy to breastfeed him in front of others. Before this, even while travelling on the train, she had used a scarf as a cover.
Lu Jianjun was somewhat slow to react, following Mother Yun out of the dormitory woodenly, the door gently closing behind him.
Meng Yunhan first changed Little Huzi’s diaper before settling down to nurse him.
