Chapter 1572 1572 Arrival
Chen Dou, Xu Shengmao and Xiao Zhang got off the car and someone came to pick them up.

"Luckily it's a truck, otherwise it would be difficult to handle all my luggage."

"I guess he thought that we would have to pay a lot of respect when we come here."

Chen Dou nodded. She was still wearing a thick cotton coat and felt sweaty after a few steps. She wanted to take off her coat but Xu Shengmao stopped her. "Don't take it off. Just open the buttons. Just get in the car."

Xiao Zhang had already gone over to confirm that they were indeed there to pick them up, and a young man came running over. He looked very dark, but he had a straight figure and looked like a soldier.

"Hello, Political Commissar Xu. I am Zhao Shengli, the commander of the Third Battalion."

Xu Shengmao returned the greeting, "Hello, I'm Xu Shengmao."

Chen Dou also returned the greeting, "Chen Dou."

"Hello, sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law Xu, I'll help you dress for the ceremony."

"Okay, let's go together."

Chen Dou didn't have to do anything, she just watched from the side.

To be honest, there are not many people getting off the train here, otherwise they would not be able to leave so quickly.

Zhao Shengli was driving the car, while the other two young soldiers and Xiao Zhang were fighting in the back of the car.

"Captain Zhao, drive slower, my wife is pregnant."

"Yes, I'll pay attention."

Zhao Shengli has been observing the new political commissar and his wife.

I have never seen such a beautiful woman before, no wonder the political commissar is so careful. And judging from the age difference between the two, there should be a big difference.

I feel a bit of a pain in the ass to arrange a house for the political commissar. His wife has come with us and it’s not convenient for her to live with them now.

The leader is worried again now.

Xu Shengmao was worried about Chen Dou and kept paying attention to her, wondering if she was feeling unwell. So he didn't ask about Zhao Shengli's situation.

It takes seven or eight hours to get to the station from the train station.

"Commissar, is there anything you need to buy? It's not easy to come to the county town."

This was definitely Zhao Shengli's kindness. Of course, the things in nearby towns were not as complete as those in the county town.

"No, we brought a lot. If you need more, come back later."

"Yes."

Xu Shengmao saw that his wife looked unhappy and asked her to drive slower again.

"Or I'll hold you."

Chen Dou shook his head. How could that be possible? There were outsiders here.

Xu Shengmao also felt embarrassed. After all, he had a certain status here, so he had to be more careful about some things.

"Lean on me."

"It's okay, you'll get used to it after a while."

He regretted again. He really shouldn't have let his wife come to accompany him. This place was really not a good place. Coming here was just to suffer.

Chen Dou leaned against the man and closed her eyes, which made her feel better.

Xu Shengmao breathed a sigh of relief after seeing his wife fall asleep.

Zhao Shengli did not say anything. Seeing that his sister-in-law was in poor health, was she pregnant? There were too few women in the team. Even half of the nurses were men, not to mention pregnant women.

After all, there are some small confrontations every day.

That is, after sleeping for half an hour, I woke up and asked, "Would you like some water?"

Chen Dou shook his head, "No, I'm fine now, don't worry."

"This child is really noisy. How could he torment you like this?"

Seeing the man frowning with worry, Chen Dou rolled his eyes and said, "I told you it's okay, I'm not that squeamish, the child is fine, don't talk nonsense." "Okay, okay, I was wrong, as long as you don't feel bad, anything is fine."

What could Chen Dou say? She had to endure the pain. Was she going to go back? She was already here, and she wanted to be with her husband anyway.

She also knew about her third sister's life. It could be said that their family was separated most of the time and had very little time together.

She didn't want that to happen. Anyway, nothing would happen after she adapted to the environment here.

Three hours later Xu Shengmao asked us to find a suitable place to park.

Xiao Zhang jumped out of the car, carrying a bag.

Xu Shengmao supported Chen Dou and walked carefully nearby. It was uncomfortable after three hours of bumpy ride.

They all gathered together to eat. Zhao Shengli brought corn cakes made in the cafeteria. Xiao Zhang was too embarrassed to eat the steamed buns he gave them.

"Eat it if you give it to me. You're welcome. There's also soybean paste here. It's delicious if you spread it on it."

Chen Dou had no appetite, so he drank some water and ate half a steamed bun.

That is, we set off again after resting for half an hour.

It was already dark when they arrived at the base, and after getting off the car they felt surrounded by mosquitoes.

Chen Dou had learned some things and knew the harm of mosquitoes and flies, so he was afraid of cross-infection of infectious diseases.

Fortunately, the thick clothes were not taken off, and the scarf around the neck was directly wrapped around the entire head. This would somewhat obstruct the vision, but at least I would not be bitten by mosquitoes.

Apparently she underestimated the strength of the mosquitoes here, but this thin gauze scarf could not block the mosquitoes at all.

I have prepared a mosquito and fly repellent bag, but it is in the luggage and it is not convenient to take it out.

"Captain Zhao, take us to settle down. Do you have any mosquito coils or something?"

"Yes. Yes, it's ready for you."

Looking at the small courtyard on the side, you can still see the general idea even in the dark, it is really too shabby.
But they were all people who had experienced hardships, so Chen Dou did not despise them. Such a bad environment was expected.

Xu Shengmao helped her into the house. The house was too low and she felt overwhelmed as soon as she entered.

He quickly turned on the flashlight and said, "The room is clean. Sit down and take a rest. I'll go move the luggage."

"Okay, ask Captain Zhao where the mosquito coils are. There are mosquitoes in the room, too. Listen, they're buzzing."

"Okay," Xu Shengmao went out and soon came back with a basin, "It doesn't have any fragrance, it's just some kind of mosquito fumigation grass."

"That's fine, light it up, and I'll think of a solution tomorrow."

Colleagues and doctors knew they were coming here and gave them some mosquito coil recipes so they could make them themselves when they had time.

The luggage was quickly moved in. "Political Commissar, I'll tell the kitchen staff to prepare food for you. I'll come and call you later."

"Thank you, Captain Zhao."

"Political Commissar, this is what I should do."

There were three rooms in total. Xu Shengmao asked Xiao Zhang to go to the room at the end. He began to pack his luggage.

There is no Kang here, only a bed. The bare top is the bed board.

I thought it was a good thing that I brought a lot of gifts with me.

After laying out a mat, Chen Dou asked him to put a sheet on it, and then a slightly hard quilt on top, which was just big enough to fit the bed.

Put another layer of sheet on top, and then start to spread the mattress.

I couldn't use the quilt, luckily I brought a blanket. Otherwise I would have gotten sick if I didn't cover myself with it, and it would have been too hot if I covered myself with it.

Xiao Zhang was already lighting a fire to boil water. "Wife, I'll get you some hot water so you can just wash up."

"Okay, bring more. This is really uncomfortable."

Chen Dou heard someone talking outside, but it was not loud and he could not make out what was being said. He did not pay much attention to it.

Soon Xu Shengmao came in with two buckets of water, "Wife, the commander is here. I'm going to talk to him outside. You must be careful when you wash."
