Chapter 425

The plane flew steadily north. It was already afternoon when it arrived at the capital airport.

Fortunately, there was lunch on the plane. During these three or four hours, which was not a long trip, they had a careless lunch that was completely out of touch with delicious food. Therefore, when the plane landed at the capital airport and they got off the plane side by side, they would not be hungry.

Because Cheng Chong didn't appear in time when boarding, min Jie couldn't determine the arrival time of the plane, so she didn't inform her family to pick up the plane in advance.

In order not to bother their families, they had to take a taxi and drive straight out of the airport to the prosperous capital.

Although grandpa was ill, min Jie didn't seem to be in a hurry to go home at this time. She was like a guide. She took Cheng Chong from the Fifth Ring Road to the Fourth Ring Road, then to the Third Ring Road, from east to west, and then to north. As the taxi went around the major downtown areas or political and commercial centers, min Jie pointed to these areas and made a brief oral introduction to Cheng Chong with great interest.

For example, how prosperous the business district was, how desolate it was when she was young. The tall office building in front occupied the place of an old stage, which was later demolished. Now in the whole city, such a stage can no longer be found.

To Cheng Chong's surprise, min Jie seems to have opened the conversation box at the moment. She is very interested in introducing. She is almost different from the cold and silent eagle.

Although Cheng Chong was in his early twenties, he was still in Beijing for the first time in his life. For the capital in front of him and the city where the capital is located, Cheng Chong has only seen it in books or movies on TV. This time, he saw it with his own eyes. While marveling at its prosperity, he was also a little disappointed.

After all, there is still a certain gap between the city in front of us, which is called the capital by all countries, and the impression. Or, for most people who have not seen the true face of the capital, their expectations for the capital are too high. When they see that the city in front of them is just like this, it is inevitable to have a trace of disappointment or even loss in their hearts.

For most Chinese, the capital in their hearts is more magnificent, more perfect and more sacred.

In other words, the capital in her mind is more in line with the characteristics that the capital must have, and can better meet the unlimited expectations and expectations of her in her heart. No matter how majestic, perfect and sacred she is, she can't go too far.

I can see that most of the scenes in front of me are similar, with few novelty and characteristics. Compared with other big cities along the coast, they are not much different. It is also possible that Cheng Chong is a little worried about Grandpa min Jie's condition. After taking a taxi around the busy area for a while, Cheng Chong finally asked Minjie his doubts: "there's nothing to worry about. It's good-looking. It's similar and has no characteristics. Can we go to the hospital to visit Grandpa first? Why don't you worry now?"

Min Jie, who was very enthusiastic about the introduction, couldn't help but be stunned when Cheng Chong said this. She looked obviously bleak. She turned around and looked at Cheng Chong suspiciously, Said: "this matter is not urgent. Even if my own grandfather wants to visit him once, he needs to make an appointment in advance. We can go to visit him only with the consent of the medical staff..."

"What?" Cheng Chong was puzzled that there was such a miracle in the world. His granddaughter needed the consent of the medical staff to visit his sick grandfather.

It doesn't make sense.

Min Jie saw Cheng Chong's doubts, smiled bitterly, and then said, "grandpa has a special ward in the hospital, and there are also special medical staff responsible for it. They can only count what they say. Even relatives have to abide by the rules set by the medical staff in this regard, saying that it is for Grandpa's good health."

"Does this mean that the medical staff put the elderly under house arrest on the pretext of medical treatment?" Puzzled Cheng Chong blurted out without even thinking.

"What nonsense? Grandpa's identity is special. He did it for the sake of his health. What house arrest or not? How ugly!" Min Jie's face was so sad that she replied.

When min Jie said this, Cheng Chong immediately returned to the taste.

Yeah! General min really has a special identity, not to mention being nearly 100 years old. Special people need special care, which is naturally reasonable.

"When can we visit?" Cheng Chong nodded and then asked.

"I'm not very clear about this. I'm afraid I have to wait for the hospital's notice. In principle, I can see it once a day or two, but it's not absolute. This depends on Grandpa's health." Min Jie looked out of the window and obviously replied with some loss.

Cheng Chong held min Jie's hand and said seriously, "well, I'll listen to you. I'll do what you say."

Min Jie turned around, looked down at the military watch on her left arm and said, "let's go home first. At this time, my mother should get off work."

"Can I go back to see your mother without following?" Cheng Chong, who had been relaxed all the way, was about to meet his parents as soon as he heard it. He couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After all, this is the first time to meet. It's normal to feel nervous and nervous.

"What? Are you afraid?" Hearing Cheng Chong's remark, min Jie suddenly wanted to snicker.

"Who's afraid? I'm not afraid!" Cheng Chong quickly straightened his chest and replied with full confidence.

As far as soldiers are concerned, they are not afraid of life and death. If they are afraid of this matter, they will be laughed at. Therefore, for soldiers, the law of motivating generals is always effective.

Min Jie smiled and then said, "that's right, but you don't have to be afraid. My mother is a senior engineer in the military and specializes in military technology. She has a high degree of professionalism and strong logic, but she is very kind. Unlike my father."

"Your father? Isn't your father coming home today?" Cheng Chong couldn't help being curious again.

"My father's majesty is not anger but power. I've been very afraid of him since I was a child. He has been climbing and rolling from the grass-roots army to today. Ha ha! He's more frightening than you. However, you're lucky today. You won't meet him. He's gone out these days." With a pun, min Jie not only objectively introduced her father, but also took the opportunity to make fun of Cheng Chong.

However, Cheng Chong didn't care at all at this time. Hearing what min Jie said, he became more curious and asked, "where have you been? Won't you come back today?"

"I don't know where I went. My mother told me on the phone the day before yesterday that my father was going abroad these days. I didn't say which country to go. I'll ask my mother when I get home. She should know." Min Jie smiled faintly at Cheng Chong, and replied without a care.

Soldiers, or senior generals, are still going abroad? Soldiers going abroad? What do you do abroad?

As soon as min Jie finished speaking, this series of questions immediately appeared in Cheng Chong's mind.

He looked more and more puzzled at Min Jie around him and asked curiously, "what are you going to do abroad? Is it to lead the troops to conduct joint exercises with the troops of other countries? Or to lead the troops abroad to carry out peacekeeping missions?"

"No! Are you checking your account? You must ask hundreds of thousands why, isn't it?" Min Jie angrily returned to Cheng Chong, then turned her head and said to the taxi driver in the front row, "master, turn right at the intersection in front, and then go straight until the next red street light appears."

After saying that, he turned his head, blinked at Cheng Chong, and then said, "don't ask. I don't know the specific situation. Don't you know what my mother knows when I go back and ask?"

At this time, min Jie didn't go on. First, she really didn't know which country her father went to. Second, the matter was more or less confidential. At the moment, in front of the taxi driver, say as little as possible, of course.

Seeing min Jie in front of him, he immediately returned to Cheng Chong, who came from Weier, and didn't say anything more.

The taxi sped forward. Half an hour later, it stopped in front of a military compound with military insignia embedded in the door and sentinels on both sides.

"Here we are! Get off!" As soon as the taxi stopped, min Jie immediately opened the door and couldn't wait to get off the bus. Cheng Chong hurriedly paid the fare and got off the bus with min Jie's small bag.

"You live here? There are soldiers standing guard at the door. It's boring! Do they still know you now?" Cheng Chong asked, pointing to the two new soldiers standing guard at the door.

Although it has long been heard that Min Jie grew up in the military compound, Meng Buding was surprised to come here.

"What's that called? I grew up in this courtyard. I haven't come back for a long time. I'm afraid the two recruits don't know me, but I know their leaders and their leaders." Min Jie smiled at the two new soldiers standing guard from a distance and said so.

Because Cheng Chong and min Jie were both wearing military uniforms and the rank of lieutenant was still hung on their shoulders, the two recruits standing guard at the door immediately straightened up and saluted them.

Cheng Chong quickly put his bag on the ground and immediately returned a military salute. But min Jie seemed to see nothing. She waved to the two new soldiers standing guard, like the head of the military parade, and said funny Hello: "Hello, comrades! Comrades have worked hard."

The two recruits standing guard saw the beautiful female lieutenant, looked like this, and greeted them so well. They were very familiar. For a moment, they wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, wanted to answer, but didn't know how to answer. They couldn't really answer the chief like a military parade. All right!

"Comrades, relax and don't be nervous. We're not here to check the post. Where's your platoon leader Zhang? Isn't he on duty today?" Min Jie and Cheng Chong walked quickly past. Min Jie still joked about the two new soldiers standing guard.

At this time, min Jie said she didn't come to check the post, but she was asking platoon leader Zhang where he had gone. Isn't this self contradictory? She played the joke on me. That's it. Tell people to relax and don't be nervous.

For the two new recruits on guard, the big leaders and leaders are not so terrible, and sometimes they are very afraid of small Lieutenant officers. Because the vast majority of bad staff officers and bad officers in the army are all lieutenants. These people can directly take care of them and pick on sentinels. Who can not be afraid?

Hearing Minjie's question, the two recruits standing guard in front of them became more and more nervous. One of the recruits quickly raised his hand and saluted again. At the same time, he replied to Minjie: "report, platoon commander Zhang is already our company commander now. Today, he is not on duty today."

"Come on! Don't tease them. You're making these two recruits nervous!" Cheng Chong immediately persuaded min Jie, then turned his head and said to the two sentinels, "it's all right. We're going home, not checking the post."

From the recruits' egg all the way to today's Cheng Chong, he had a deep understanding of the recruits' psychology when they met the officers, so he pointed to min Jie and said, "she's kidding you! Don't be nervous."

The two sentinels straightened up again and solemnly saluted them again.

At this time, min Jie, holding Cheng Chong's hand, quickly rushed into the courtyard with a smile.

"You know what? Making fun of the sentry and teasing the sentry is a way I have kept secret for many years. Hey! You don't know. When we were young, we suffered too much from them. Once in winter, on a cold day, a sentry lied to me to stand with him at the sentry for most of the night. You said it was irritating but not irritating. Later, we learned to be good, anyway They can only stand at the door and can't walk around. We'll make fun of them, ha ha! " After turning a corner, min Jie stopped and smiled at Cheng Chong beside her.

"No wonder -" Cheng Chong also smiled, "but your sentinels when you were a child are different from those now. Isn't it a little unfair for you to spread your resentment on such sentinels?"

"Who cares? Now there are other children in the compound who are fooled by them? They don't suffer a loss. Anyway, the children in the military compound and the sentry are a pair of natural enemies who fight each other's wisdom and courage. That's fun!" Min Jie waved her hand indifferently and said so carelessly.

This military compound is not very upscale and luxurious in the prosperous capital, but it actually occupies a large piece of land in the center of the urban area. The houses built inside are not high. Most of them are five or six story buildings, supplemented by some antique old houses of the last century, which are distributed on both sides.

The whole can be regarded as a pattern in which the old and the new coexist and set off each other.

They followed the main road in the middle of the courtyard and continued to walk inside. As min Jie walked in, she introduced herself to Cheng Chong. Most of the stories are about the interesting things that happened when she was a child.

Cheng Chong didn't expect that this cold and silent lover had such a colorful childhood, and there was a lively and cheerful, and even some lawless past.

In other words, her character was like this. Only later, she joined the army, trained repeatedly with a sniper rifle all year round, and constantly competed with herself, which affected her character.

Some people say that the country is easy to change, but the perennial special training should be a different matter.

"Have you arrived yet?" After walking in for a while, Cheng Chong asked curiously.

"Here we are, look at the front -" after another turn, min Jie pointed forward and said.

Looking in the direction of Min Jie's fingers, Cheng Chong was stunned by the scene in front of her.

Because, a small courtyard called exquisite appeared in front of him, and there were sentinels standing guard at the door, which belongs to a typical courtyard.
