Chapter 364 Finally Meeting Zhao Yalan

The moment Su Nuannuan was released, she took out her identity document from the space.

Fortunately, she had a habit of carrying them with her.

Looking at Su Nuannuan's letter of introduction and the barefoot doctor training instructor's identification, He Xiao and Zhu Hongjun finally realized that they had really misunderstood Su Nuannuan.

He Xiao looked embarrassed and said.

"I'm sorry, we mistook you for someone else."

Su Nuannuan smiled and said.

"It's ok."

Although the process was somewhat absurd, the result was still quite good.

On the way, Su Nuannuan inquired about Zhao Yalan.

"Comrade Zhu, do you know anything about my ex-sister-in-law? Is she in your military region?"

Zhu Hongjun scratched his head, somewhat uncertainly.

"She should be here. Chief of Staff Duan has been at the military region these past few days, so his wife should be here too."

Not seeing anyone, Su Nuannuan was still a little uneasy.

Seeing Su Nuannuan's worried expression, He Xiao quickly comforted her.

"Dr. Su, don't worry. Comrade Zhao Yalan is a grown woman; she certainly won't get lost in the military region."

Su Nuannuan forced a smile and didn't ask any further questions.

She was now unsure whether Zhao Yalan was deliberately avoiding contact with them. After all, Zhao Yalan's parents were also a potential liability.

Given the current situation, in order not to implicate them, Zhao Yalan is very likely to cut off contact with them on her own initiative.

The jeep was fast, and it arrived at the military district gate in half an hour.

On the open and desolate land, there is a cluster of brick and tile houses, and not far away is the army's training ground.

Su Nuannuan got out of the jeep, and He Xiao said to her.

"Dr. Su, I'm sorry. Hongjun and I have a mission. Could you ask the comrade at the door to register you? Chief of Staff Duan and the others will come to pick you up."

Knowing that He Xiao and Zhu Hongjun had a mission that couldn't be delayed, Su Nuannuan waved to the two of them and said.

"Alright, you guys go back now."

He Xiao and Zhu Hongjun both had a very good impression of Su Nuannuan, finding her to be both intelligent and kind.

After the two left, Su Nuannuan followed the young guard to the small room by the door to register her personal information.

"After Su Nuannuan finished writing," the young comrade said.

Are you here to see Chief of Staff Duan?

Su Nuannuan shook her head and said.

"No, I'm here to see his wife."

After speaking, Su Nuannuan paused and then added.

"If his wife isn't here, could you help him find Chief of Staff Duan?"

The young man nodded and then asked someone to help him call for help.

For people like Su Nuannuan who come in from outside, their family members must come in person before they will be allowed to leave.

It wasn't that they were being overly strict, but rather that previously, non-military family members had come to the military base and entered the premises, causing significant trouble for the unit.

Zhu Hongjun explained this to Su Nuannuan while they were on the road.

Su Nuannuan also felt that this was the right thing to do. After all, people in this era are still too simple and honest.

Seeing that the chubby face of the young guard had not yet faded, Su Nuannuan guessed that he was probably only fourteen or fifteen years old.

So, Su Nuannuan took out two White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket and handed them to the little comrade with a smile.

"Young comrade, please have some candy."

The young guard's eyes seemed glued to the White Rabbit candy in Su Nuannuan's hand, and he swallowed hard. In the end, he firmly shook his head and said...

“I don’t want it. The organization teaches us that we cannot take even a penny from the people.”

The more Su Nuannuan looked at the little guy, the more she liked him.

She smiled and said, "These aren't just any candy. My relative and Chief of Staff Duan from here got married a few days ago, and these two candies are wedding favors. Please, don't be shy, have some."

When Duan Zhao was mentioned, the young comrade's eyes shone with admiration.

"Are you talking about Brother Duan Zhao?"

elder brother?

Su Nuannuan was puzzled.

"You're Duan Zhao's younger brother? I remember he's an only child?"

Although Su Nuannuan had never met Duan Zhao, she knew a fair amount of his basic information.

If she remembered correctly, Duan Zhao's parents were killed when he was young, and he was raised by his parents' comrades-in-arms.

The young man realized that Su Nuannuan had misunderstood, so he quickly shook his head and explained.

“I’m not Duan Zhao’s biological brother. He…”

Before the young boy could finish speaking, a gentle female voice interrupted.

"Nuan Nuan, you're here!"

The voice conveyed an unprecedented surprise.

Hearing the familiar voice, Su Nuannuan stood up and turned around, only to see Zhao Yalan, dressed simply, looking at her with a face full of surprise.

When Su Nuannuan saw Zhao Yalan again, she felt that the other woman had changed a lot.

Gone is her former refined elegance; Zhao Yalan now wears coarse linen clothes and has cut her hair into a neat short style. A hint of weariness is visible in her eyes.

Looking at Zhao Yalan's drastically changed appearance, Su Nuannuan felt a pang of heartache.

She ran to Zhao Yalan's side, hugged her tightly, and said...

"Sister Yalan, I miss you so much!"

Zhao Yalan was also very happy to see Su Nuannuan.

She hugged Su Nuannuan tightly, and said joyfully.

“I’m also very happy. I didn’t expect to see you here.”

Since Zhao Yalan left Beijing, she thought she would never see her old friends and relatives again.

I never expected to see Su Nuannuan again.

Zhao Yalan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took Su Nuannuan's hand, and said happily.

"Nuan Nuan, come on, come home with me. Hua Ying will be very happy to see you."

Su Nuannuan nodded.

She also wanted to meet Hua Ying and, by the way, remind him that he should find a job in advance.

Before leaving, Zhao Yalan smiled and said to the young comrade who had just been talking to Su Nuannuan.

"Come to my house for dinner tonight for the Party."

The young boy smiled and nodded.

After Zhao Yalan finished speaking, she led Su Nuannuan towards the family compound.

On the way, Su Nuannuan asked curiously.

"Sister Yalan, do you know the young man from earlier?"

It's no wonder Su Nuannuan was curious; that young boy clearly wasn't an adult, so how could the army possibly let him guard the gate?

Moreover, don't think she didn't see it; while she was talking to the boy, two adult soldiers were standing straight not far away.

They kept watching Su Nuannuan.

When the boy was mentioned, a look of heartache appeared on Zhao Yalan's face.

"Alas, Wei Dang was a pitiful child. His parents sacrificed their lives when he was just born. Later, he lived with his uncle's family. His uncle was also a soldier. When he was five years old, his uncle went on a mission and did not return. His aunt died in childbirth because of her uncle's sacrifice, along with her unborn child."

Wei Dang was eventually adopted by a childless military family. Perhaps because he was born without blood ties, his adoptive parents died when he was twelve. From then on, some people said Wei Dang was cursed to bring misfortune to his family. The military refused to take him in anymore. Wei Dang was already old enough to remember things, and he didn't want to trouble others or be adopted.

The military couldn't just let Wei Dang, the orphan of a martyr, live such a helpless life and eat for free in the mess hall.
