A charming military wife travels back to the 1960s, escaping famine across five provinces before finally reaching the cavalry regiment at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, where she begins her life...
“Girl, you can draw illustrations at the farm. It’s warm here, and there’s paper and pens. Don’t talk to your mom about money.”
Lu Fangfang knew Yang Yufeng's character best, so she couldn't help but give Da Niu a few more instructions.
"By the way, if you encounter a problem while drawing, go outside and look at the little Tibetan fox family."
"Auntie, I understand."
The girl nodded quickly.
Lu Fangfang smiled and told Daniu to continue drawing inside while she led Dandan to the meadow outside.
A few days ago, Qilian experienced a light snowfall, and snowflakes can still be seen on the grasslands.
It was windy and very cold outside.
She put the tiger hat on her son, then glanced into the cave.
The little yellow dog is different now that it has a wife and kids. This winter, it didn't go home and just stayed here permanently.
Last month, fearing the baby Tibetan foxes would get cold, she brought some old clothes and had her little yellow dog carry them into the burrow.
Several Tibetan foxes huddled together for warmth, and she figured they should be fine.
"Little yellow dog, come out here, I brought you something good."
"Awoo~"
"Awoo~"
Soon, two little Tibetan fox cubs emerged from the hole.
They were about the size of puppies, and they excitedly circled around the two of them.
Then, a little yellow dog and a tuft of hair emerged from the hole.
"Awoo~"
A tuft of hair pushed aside the little yellow dog, approached Lu Fangfang, and looked up at her expectantly.
“In broad daylight, you two didn’t go hunting, you were just waiting for me.”
Lu Fangfang was amused; the little tuft of hair had suddenly become close to her.
She took two large goose eggs out of her pocket and put one into a tuft of feathers and the other into the mouth of a little yellow dog.
Dandan wasn't idle either.
He carefully peeled the quail eggs and fed the two Tibetan fox cubs.
“Little Yellow Dog, Dan’er, Qingqing, and I are going back to our hometown in a few days. You and Yicuo Mao, keep up the hunt. If you need anything, go to the farm and find Sister Lan Ying. You know her too.”
As Lu Fangfang spoke, she stroked the little yellow dog.
It looked plump all over, which put my mind at ease.
"Awoo~"
"Awoo~"
The little yellow dog looked up and barked a few times, then immediately scurried back into its hole.
Soon, it came out carrying several pikas.
It gestured to Lu Fangfang, then proudly took it back.
"Hey, you little yellow dog, you've finally learned to hoard food."
Lu Fangfang looked on with surprise.
This little rascal, no wonder she raised him, has food stored in the cave, so she can finally relax.
"By the way, little yellow dog, don't forget to eat early, otherwise your hole will stink when the ice thaws in the spring, and I won't clean it for you."
"Oh...ah..."
Lu Fangfang was giving instructions to the little Tibetan fox when she heard a noise behind her.
She looked back and saw a wild donkey pulling a cart, running towards her.
Xiuxiu and Qingqing were also sitting on the donkey cart.
"Slow down, little wild donkey, slow down."
Xiuxiu pulled on the reins and managed to call the little wild donkey back.
"Mommy, Mommy."
Qingqing jumped off the donkey cart, her little face covered in dirt, and ran to Lu Fangfang.
She took out sweet potatoes and potatoes from her pocket and handed them over, saying, "Mom, Uncle roasted some sweet potatoes and potatoes for Qingqing. You can eat them."
"Qingqing is so good."
Looking at her daughter's dark clothes, Lu Fangfang's lips twitched slightly, and she gave a forced compliment.
"Qingqing, we're girls, so be more tidy in the future. Don't put everything in your pockets."
"Qingqing is afraid of getting cold, brother, here you go eat."
Qingqing took out sweet potatoes and potatoes from another pocket and handed them to Dandan.
With nothing left in her hands, she squatted down and started playing with the two Tibetan fox cubs.
Lu Fangfang peeled the sweet potato, took a bite, and found it to be surprisingly sweet.
Turning to look at Xiuxiu, she said helplessly, "Qingqing is just a child and doesn't understand. You, as her aunt, shouldn't you be keeping an eye on her?"
"Sis, I'll wash the clothes, okay?"
Xiuxiu was quite excited. She hugged her sister's arm and whispered, "Sister, Lao Xu said that he made a lot of adobe bricks in the summer and saved up enough money. If he borrows a little more, he can rebuild the house next year."
As she spoke, Xiuxiu's face suddenly turned red.
"Xiuxiu, you've decided on Lao Xu?"
Lu Fangfang asked very seriously.
Xiuxiu nodded firmly.
"Sister, I don't mind that he's a rightist. I've thought everything through and I'm sure we'll have a good life together. I'm not like other people who just marry a complete stranger."
"well."
Lu Fangfang sighed. Since Xiuxiu had made up her mind, she couldn't say anything more.
"Xiuxiu, when you go back to your hometown in a few days, tell your parents about this."
"By the way, tell Lao Xu to stop using adobe bricks and build a brick house instead. I'll cover the cost if it's not enough. I can't let you suffer."
Just a moment ago, Xiuxiu was feeling uneasy.
Upon hearing her sister's next words, she hugged Lu Fangfang tightly.
"Sister, I...I..."
"Alright, stop talking. As long as you've thought it through, that's fine. Old Xu is a good person, he just has to endure a few tough years, but things will get better after that."
Lu Fangfang patted Xiuxiu.
As long as people work together, life will always get better and better.
Just like in the movie, there will be bread, there will be milk, there will be everything.
...
The day before I returned to my hometown was a bright and sunny day.
Lu Fangfang took Dandan and Qingqing to the mountains in the north in a donkey cart.
She took out a whistle from her pocket and blew it hard.
