Chapter 826 Reunion
"It feels like nothing here has changed much. It's still so leisurely." Veneto said with some nostalgia as he looked at the entrance to the old street.
Qin Ge nodded. "Yes, not much has changed. Or rather, not much has changed since we left. Perhaps more than two years is a long time for us, but for this place, two years is just two years."
"Let's go in first, otherwise we will be conspicuous if we stand here," said Bismarck.
"good."
Several people nodded and walked inside from the entrance of the old street. Qin Ge came here wearing a commander's uniform this time. Although there are , it does not mean that there are none.
So the one who is conspicuous is not him, but the ship girls following him.
The temperament and figure of people like Veneto, Bismarck, Belfast, Amagi, etc. are originally extraordinary, so even if they hide well, they will attract countless eyes.
Fortunately, these gazes did not stay for too long. After all, the people here have seen too many ship girls and commanders.
As they walked forward, Belfast stopped when they arrived at a stall.
"Master, do you remember this?" Belfast said, pointing to the stall.
"Haha, dough figurines. I remember when the destroyers came over, what they liked most was watching this old man making dough figurines." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"Haha, so the dough figurine in Miss Guanghui's hand was made here with the commander?" Veneto asked on the side.
Qin Ge nodded, but his face was a little surprised, "Is the glorious face man still there?"
"Yes, Miss Guanghui has protected it very carefully. Although such a long time has passed, the mask has inevitably been slightly deformed, but the clear outline can still be made out." Belfast smiled.
Qin Ge smiled, remembering how carefully Guanghui held the dough, and felt touched, "Okay."
"How about when we have free time later, we come here and make dough figurines together? We'd like to have something as a souvenir." Tiancheng suggested with a smile.
"That's a good idea. In fact, I've wanted to own a dough figurine for a long time. Although it's not a precious thing, it contains the experience we and the commander have gone through." Veneto was eager to try.
Qin Ge smiled and said, "Come over later. We have to go to Mr. Wan's house now. Looking at the time, maybe they are still setting up the stall."
"Um."
After passing the dough figurine stall, it was not far from Mr. Wan's home. The number of people on the road gradually thinned out, and after turning a small alley, we finally arrived at a familiar place.
You can see into the alley from the intersection. Just as Qin Ge said before, there is still a familiar group of stalls in front of the familiar door. However, what is different from what you imagined is that it is now time to close the stalls.
Seeing a familiar figure slowly moving the table and benches home, Qin Ge felt excited about returning home. He walked quickly towards the old man and spoke loudly when he got close to him.
"Wan Lao!"
The old man paused what he was doing, turned around to look at Qin Ge, and suddenly froze in place.
But soon, Lao Wan reacted, "You kid, how many times have I told you to call me Lao Wan, not Wan Lao, I'm not that old!"
"Haha, Mr. Wan is of course not that old. Seeing you moving the table, it looks very easy." Qin Ge said with a smile as he walked forward.
"You kid." Lao Wan couldn't hold it in any longer. "When did you come back?"
"I just arrived at the Commander Academy yesterday. I may stay in Donghuang for a while. That's why I came here to see you two today." Qin Ge said as he was about to take the table from Lao Wan.
But this action was stopped by Lao Wan, "Don't touch it, there is still a lot of oil on it after they finished their meal in the morning, and it's not easy to move in your uniform."
"Hey. That's not what you said when we were in Minghai City. Even though I was wearing new clothes, I still ran around carrying the table every day." Qin Ge said with a smile and took the table from Lao Wan.
"It's been so long, and you still remember what happened back then. Really, are you so petty?" As he spoke, Lao Wan's eyes turned red. "I'm glad you're back, and I'm glad you're safe."
It was already time to close the stall, so Qin Ge came at the perfect time. With the help of several ship girls, he quickly put away the tables and chairs.
Sitting in the living room, looking at the familiar furnishings, Qin Ge looked around and said, "Where's Auntie?"
"Oh, she's not here. She was picked up by her daughter." Lao Wan sat next to Qin Ge, holding the tea poured by Belfast and said, "Well, last year's Siren Tide caused your commander to suffer a lot of losses. In addition, you haven't , so she is quite worried that you will end up like our son...
As she aged, she was worried every day, and she was also busy on weekdays, so her health was not good. When her daughter found out, she went to Shenhua City to pick her up and let her stay for a while to have a good rest.
Who knew you would come back now? If that were the case, you wouldn’t have to be taken back. I believe your aunt will get better faster after seeing you.”
Qin Ge felt a little guilty after hearing this, "When I wrote the last letter, I was still in Sun Moon Island, and there is a Maritime Bureau there, which can help send the letter back.
Later I went to Guam, which is not far from the center of the Pacific Ocean, so it is more difficult to get to Donghuang. So I couldn’t send any letters, sorry to have worried you.”
"It's okay, we understand your difficulties. When my son was here, he would often leave for a long time without writing to us. We were used to it.
It’s just that the latest battle was so intense that even here we can hear the sound of artillery shells coming from the seashore, so your aunt became worried.
But seeing that you are safe and sound here, we are relieved." Lao Wan said with a smile.
"But Aunt Wan has returned to Minghai, why don't you go back?" Qin Ge asked.
"We can't both of us go back and cause trouble for our daughter, and we've gotten used to living here, and people here like the food I cook, so we stayed. It's a good thing we stayed, otherwise when you came back you would find that both of us were gone, wouldn't we have missed each other?" Lao Wan said.
"That's true. But I remember when you were in Minghai, you simply wouldn't set up the stall every day unless Aunt Wan was around. Now you seem to be much more diligent." Qin Ge said with a smile.
"Hey, you've grown wings, haven't you? Now you want to make fun of me." Lao Wan said with a smile, "Actually, your aunt left me some tasks when she left, so I have to continue."
“Haha, no wonder!”
