506: Training in the snowy plateau region.
Grandma Xiao looked at her Granddaughter and said with a smile.
"Niannian, you're busy with work here. Grandma is going back to her hometown, and then she'll go with your Mother to Rongcheng to stay for a while. Grandma misses your Older Brothers too..."
Hearing this, Xiao Niannian hugged her Grandma.
How could she not know that Grandma missed her Older Brothers, and secondly, didn't want to trouble her? Grandma raised her, so how could she cause trouble for her?
Grandma missed her Older Brothers, so she naturally wanted Grandma to get her wish and be happy.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. But when you go to Rongcheng, you must take care of yourself, and be well..."
Xiao Niannian had also prepared some medicinal herbs these days, just right to take to Rongcheng for Grandma.
They might come in handy at a critical moment.
Xiao Niannian handed over a few bags of things, one to her Mother and one to her Grandma.
"Grandma, Mother, these are the medicines I made and the herbs I collected before. You and Mother keep them, and use them when needed. In your bag, there's another bag for Maternal Grandparents."
"Niannian, you already sent some last time, keep this for yourself." Mother Xiao was deeply touched by her daughter's words and quickly declined.
Although she didn't know where her daughter got so many medicinal herbs, how much had they given their daughter? The medicine her daughter gave last time was extremely helpful for her parents' leg pain. After less than a month of applying it, the leg pain had alleviated by more than half. And her daughter also gave her parents acupuncture, and now her parents can walk for half an hour every day without much leg pain..."Mother, please accept it. I have channels to get these things..."
After declining several times, Grandma Xiao spoke.
"Ruyi, Niannian's kind intention, just accept it."
Her Granddaughter had previously advised her, saying that a gift was her Granddaughter's heartfelt intention, and if she didn't accept it, her Granddaughter would be sad, and next time, her Granddaughter wouldn't send one, so she should learn to accept her Granddaughter's kind intentions... Mother Xiao heard this and no longer declined.
"Mother thanks you, and also thanks you on behalf of Maternal Grandparents."
When Mother Xiao reunited with her daughter, she had already decided to transfer the house she currently lived in to Niannian's name. That house was also a gift from her parents.
As for her sons, she had raised them to this age, and it was time for them to strive on their own. Her family property would all belong to her daughter in the future. After missing so many years, she also wanted to properly show filial piety to her Mother-in-law and compensate her Mother-in-law and daughter.
Mother Xiao also understood that her Mother-in-law and daughter thought the same way.
Her Mother-in-law had previously wanted to give her her husband's pension and all the money from these years. She had initially declined several times, but her Mother-in-law talked to her a lot, and she understood that this was also her Mother-in-law's knot in her heart. If she didn't accept it, her Mother-in-law would keep coming to her, persuading her to accept it.
So she only took half of the money.
Her Mother-in-law was so old, she should also keep some money for herself. These days, she had asked someone to inquire and only then did she know what kind of life her Mother-in-law and daughter had lived in their hometown. Two years ago, her Mother-in-law was still making clothes for people in the Family Courtyard to earn money... Thinking of this, she felt sad again.
"Don't cry."
Mother Xiao said with a chuckle.
Mother Xiao wiped away her tears and looked at Xiao Niannian with a smile.
"Niannian, don't worry, Mother will take good care of Grandma. You can focus on your work..."
Mother Xiao said again.
"I will work hard."
Two days passed in a flash. Lu Jing drove to the Family Courtyard and went with Niannian to send Grandma Xiao and Mother Xiao to the train station.
"Grandma Xiao, Aunt Xiao, two comrades-in-arms are on a business trip, also going to City Name, and their tickets are in the same carriage as yours..."
These two comrades-in-arms got out of the car and saluted Grandma Xiao and Mother Xiao.
"Grandma Xiao, Aunt Xiao."
"Hello, you'll be working hard this time."
"Grandma Xiao, you're too kind."
After arriving at the train station by car, Xiao Niannian looked at her Grandma and Mother.
"Niannian."
Grandma Xiao's face was full of reluctance. Although her Granddaughter was in the Military Unit before, and she had returned to Chengdu for a few months, this trip to Rongcheng would probably mean another year before they could see each other.
Even with phone calls, she would miss her greatly.
"Grandma."
Grandma Xiao's eyes were a little red. She patted her Granddaughter's hand and smiled at Niannian.
Mother Xiao also had tears in her eyes and said.
"Niannian, take good care of yourself. Little Lu, I hope you can also help Aunt take care of Niannian."
"Grandma, Aunt, don't worry, I will help take good care of Niannian."
They saw Grandma and Mother into the carriage, and Xiao Niannian didn't put her hand down until the train started moving.
Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing and asked.
"When are we going to train in the mountains?"
"Tomorrow."
Xiao Niannian nodded.
"Okay."
Xiao Niannian rode back to the Production Brigade in Lu Jing's car.
Xiao Niannian guessed that this mountain training would be in a place with cliffs. She and Lu Jing had previously written some rock climbing training plans.
This time, they should be leading a team to practice rock climbing.
And other training.
On the day of departure, Xiao Niannian also packed her backpack and arrived at the assembly point.
"Get in the car."
Hearing the order, Xiao Niannian followed the team to get in the car.
"You go to the driver's cab."
Lu Jing pulled her.
Xiao Niannian nodded.
She followed Lu Jing to the driver's cab.
Squad Leader Li was sitting in the car and smiled as he greeted Xiao Niannian when she got in.
"Comrade Xiao."
"Squad Leader Li."
"Captain Lu."
Lu Jing stood up and said.
"You sit by the window, I'll sit in the middle."
Xiao Niannian looked up at Lu Jing and moved her position.
"It's very far from here, you can sleep for a while first."
Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.
She originally wanted to lean against the window, but Lu Jing directly put her head on his shoulder.
Xiao Niannian leaned on his shoulder and slept for over an hour.
When she woke up, Xiao Niannian saw that they had already arrived at the airport.
Hmm?
Arrived at the airport?
This time, they weren't training in the mountains around Yangcheng, so where were they going?
Xiao Niannian thought of a place: training in the Snowfield Plateau.
Before, her Eldest Brother and the others said that the southwest region was a bit restless, and the Special Forces Brigade in the southwest had also discussed with Captain Chen and his team about training together, so that both units could improve together.
The two units had also collaborated many times before.
The next second, Xiao Niannian's gaze met Lu Jing's.
"This time, we're going to your Eldest Brother Gu Yuan's unit."
Hearing this, Xiao Niannian nodded.
"Okay."
Everyone lined up and boarded the plane.
Fortunately, they were taking a plane. If they took a train, it would take more than three days and three nights. By the time they arrived, their combat effectiveness would be cut in half. However, they would probably take a train back.
Xiao Niannian boarded the military plane, her hand touching the cabin wall. This was a Soviet-made transport plane, capable of carrying over five tons of cargo, or about thirty soldiers.
