“When we were on a blind date at the state-run restaurant, I saw a woman standing outside the window. Later, I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye and she turned around and ran away. Could she be Tao Jingjing?”

"It's a pity I didn't get a clear look at her face," Ning Zhiyuan said with a regretful expression.

Sang Feiyu quickly gestured to show Tao Jingjing's figure, and Ning Zhiyuan nodded emphatically, "It's very similar to your description."

"Could it be that she sent someone to follow me?" Sang Feiyu asked in confusion.

Zhao Hui's heart jumped. "Feiyu, you should go to the army as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, I'll be worried about you when you go out."

Ning Zhiyuan replied, "Grandma, I'll go buy the tickets now and try to leave tomorrow."

Sang Feiyu hurriedly asked, "Grandma, where are you and Grandpa?"

"We'll buy train tickets back to Shanghai once you're on the train."

She wouldn't feel at ease unless she saw her granddaughter off in person.

"Yes, I feel more at ease knowing that you have a wide network of connections in Shanghai."

Ning Zhiyuan went to the train station to buy tickets. There were only tickets available for tomorrow night, so he paid extra to get two sleeper tickets.

Sang Feiyu and her grandmother began preparing the things the troops would bring when they departed.

Zhao Hui bought her a new red mandarin duck quilt, and tried to make everything else festive.

Sang Feiyu shook her head, "Grandma, don't buy too much, we can't take it all with us."

"It's okay, I'll transfer it to you later."

"Is there any wedding where the bride's family doesn't provide any gifts?"

She spoke a bit loudly, and those who initially thought they had bought too much immediately understood.

There are quite a few wealthy people in Guangzhou. They might buy even more for their daughters' weddings, so they immediately felt that the things Zhao Hui had were only average.

"Ceramic cups, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, cotton cloths..."

Zhao Hui silently recited it once, then turned around and went to buy two more rows of batteries and a flashlight.

"You'll definitely need these things later."

"The military units are usually located far from the city, so you should be mentally prepared."

The farewell words before departure are always so touching. Sang Feiyu's nose tingled, and she affectionately held her grandmother's hand, "Grandma, you are the best to me."

Zhao Hui laughed, "You're my only grandchild. If I'm not good to you, who will I be good to?"

"Grandma, once I've settled down over there, remember to come visit me with Grandpa."

Given the conditions in the military, she didn't want her grandparents to suffer with her, so she could only hope that they could come to stay with her for a few days each year.

"Yes, your grandpa and I will definitely come to see you then."

The two returned laden with their purchases, and Ning Zhiyuan, who had appeared at some point, took everything from their hands.

Sang Feiyu felt her hands were suddenly freed and praised without reservation, "You came at just the right time, thank you."

Zhao Hui smiled and said, "I feel much more at ease knowing that Zhiyuan will take care of Xiaoyu from now on."

When the three returned to the guesthouse, Sang Youde had already packed meals for them. "The state-run restaurant had fresh meat wontons today, so I bought one for each of you."

"I also ordered half a roast goose."

He couldn't help but swallow hard after he finished speaking.

Every time he comes to Guangzhou, he makes sure to have a meal of roast goose.

If I miss out on eating it even once, he'll nag me for days.

Zhao Hui laughed and said, "The roast goose in Guangzhou is the most authentic. After I go to the army, I don't know when I will be able to eat it again. Zhiyuan and Xiaoyu, you two eat quickly."
