The end of the year is approaching, and it has been almost three months since Gu Jingheng returned to the army.

Zhou Suisui still missed him very much. Since she left last time, Gu Jingheng sent back an average of four letters a month, which was much more than once a month before.

Moreover, the letter was full of sweet words, some of which would make Zhou Suisui, a modern person, blush after reading them. Zhou Suisui thought to herself, it turns out that Gu Jingheng is a reserved man.

The man who his wife calls a repressed man is currently training in the army. Gu Jingheng's army is located on the coast, in Shandong Province, not far from Beijing. It is quite cold in winter, but not as cold as in the Northeast.

And now that I'm alone at home with the children, I don't have to worry too much about what to take out. The eldest and second children are both carefree and never pay attention to these things. They just focus on washing dishes when they enter the kitchen.

Two months ago, Gu Jingheng wrote to say that the mushroom sauce, sausages, pork jerky, etc. that Zhou Suisui brought him were shared among his comrades in the army, and they all praised his cooking skills.

Of course, this was the result of Zhou Suisui's beautification. In the letter, Gu Jingheng cursed those wolf cubs for stealing his food and portrayed himself as a pitiful victim.

Gu Jingheng's real intention was to make his wife feel sorry for him by describing himself in a more miserable way.

A man is a young man until he dies. What can you do? Just coax him. Zhou Suisui wrote a few words of comfort that were not very sincere and put them aside.

Gu Jingheng took such a long vacation in the fall that he definitely wouldn't be able to come back for the New Year. So he planned to be there in person even though he couldn't see him on the first day of the new year, but he had to be there in spirit.

I made some pork jerky and sausages for Gu Jingheng, and this time I changed the flavor and made some chili sauce. Even if I go to the cafeteria, the chili sauce is very fragrant and goes well with rice. I put meat pieces in the chili sauce.

As for what he was wearing, Zhou Suisui directly took out a set of thermal underwear that suited his size from the space, which was more convenient for his daily training.

Then he got him a cotton hat of the same style as Bald Qiang. Although it was not very good-looking, it was practical and warm, and it suited him well. Moreover, this hat looked like it was handmade. As for the thermal underwear, he said it was something from a department store.

He packed a large bag with all sorts of things. When Mother Gu came, she saw the bag and was stunned for a moment before asking, "What is this? Why is it such a big package?"

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and I'm thinking about what to send to Jing Heng."

Don't even mention what Mother Gu was thinking. "Sui Sui, you've really thought it through. When the third child reaches a high enough rank, you can take the child with you to join the army, so that you don't have to be apart all year round."

"Jing Heng said it, I know mother."

"By the way, have you asked your sister-in-law to make cotton-padded jackets for me and your father? The cotton and cloth must have cost a lot of money, right?" asked Mother Gu.

She was just being polite. She was so happy that her daughter-in-law was so filial that she had already thought about how to show off to the old ladies in the village when she wore it during the New Year.

"Well, I don't have much time today. I know my sister-in-law is a good cook, so I let her do it. Is it warm to wear?" Zhou Suisui said as he made a cup of sugar water for Gu's mother.

"It's warm, of course it's warm. I can feel the thickness of the cotton when I touch it. I heard from your sister-in-law that there are some left. Your father and I used to wear them a few years ago and we can still wear them." Mother Gu took a sip of the sugar water, which tasted sweet, just like what she was feeling now.

"Just be warm. The last time I went to the old house, I saw that both of your cotton-padded jackets were in bad condition. They were too thin. Don't be reluctant to wear new ones. It won't be worth it if you and my dad get cold. You two should take good care of yourselves, so Jingheng can rest assured outside." Everyone can say nice things. There is nothing Zhou Sui Sui can't do as long as she doesn't want to.

Sure enough, those few words touched Mother Gu's heart, and she was so moved that her eyes turned red.

The old child is always a child. Zhou Suisui feels that since she has spent the money, it must not be wasted. She must let the old couple know the efforts and filial piety of the third wife, and she must make sure that the money is worth it.

Mother Gu didn't know what she was thinking about, and sighed again, "Sui Sui, mother knows you are a good person, and your father and I are living a good life now. But it's your second brother's family, and that Third Sister Lin, who is always hanging around under my nose, thinking of taking anything good from home to my mother's family, just to make trouble for me. I have discussed it with your father, and we are thinking of dividing the family completely after the New Year. We will live our own lives in the future, and I don't want to care about it anymore." Mother Gu waved her hand and said.

Zhou Suisui agreed with Gu's mother's idea. According to her, they should have broken up long ago. Lin Sanmei was a troublesome person and it was quite annoying to have her around.

"Mom, I think it's okay, but our third room has already been separated."

"Mom knows, but dividing the family is a big deal after all. You'll have to go and see it when the time comes and go through the motions. I'm telling you this in advance."

"Okay, mother, I got it. By the way, I'm going to the county town by ox cart to send this package to Jing Heng. You can stay at my house and look after Da Wa and the others. I'll be back at noon."

"Okay, don't worry." Zhou Suisui left.

This morning, the eldest and second child are still studying in the house. Shitou doesn't need to come starting this month. One reason is that the weather is too cold, and the other is that he has learned almost everything.

He doesn't learn as fast as the eldest and second child, and his memory isn't as good as theirs. It's already very difficult for him to study for such a long time, so we can't push him too hard, so we might as well just give him a holiday.

Mother Gu went to see the eldest and second children studying. The third child was sitting on the kang reading a story book quietly. Although he didn't know pinyin, he found the pictures very interesting.
