Huo Jingrui didn’t dare drive too fast all the way, afraid that Yunyi might not sleep comfortably in the back.
He naturally knew that Yunyi would have been more comfortable staying in the compound, but they were newlyweds and he didn’t want to be apart from her.
Halfway through the journey, Yunyi felt a bit nauseous and sat up from the back seat.
Looking groggily out the window, she asked, "Jingrui, where are we now?"
Huo Jingrui heard her question, "You’re awake. Are you feeling okay? We’ve reached Kangqiao Town, about fifteen minutes more till we get to the family quarters."
Yunyi yawned and was about to speak when she saw a somewhat familiar figure enter the alley ahead. "Jingrui, did you notice anyone familiar on the road just now?"
Huo Jingrui heard Yunyi’s question, "Did you see it too?"
Yunyi gave a light "um" as a response, "But I didn’t get a clear look at who it was, just thought that figure seemed familiar."
Huo Jingrui solved the mystery for her, "It’s Company Commander Hao’s wife, Yu Liqin."
Yunyi looked puzzled, "Why would she be here at this time?"
Huo Jingrui shook his head, "I’m not sure, but I heard before from Company Commander Hao that his wife has a distant cousin living in Kangqiao Town. I heard that cousin’s wife isn’t well, so she occasionally comes over to lend a hand."
Upon hearing this, Yunyi didn’t say anything more, though she wondered in her heart: It takes half an hour to forty minutes to walk from the barracks to here. Why is she here so early?
Though curious, it wasn’t their business, so Yunyi didn’t dwell on it.
After the two returned to the family quarters, Huo Jingrui got out of the car first: "Yi’er, I’ll go unlock the door first, you get out slowly."
Then he quickly went back to open the enclosed kang bed in the house, adding some coal so that the room would warm up fast.
