After Song Chen left, Lin Lu's life didn't change much. It was still the same as before. Every day, he just ate, drank, defecated and studied.

There was no letter from Song Chen the first month after he left, nor the second month. It wasn't until the third month that Song's mother received his salary and a letter. The letter simply said he was doing well over there and there was no need to worry. The other letter was for Lin Lu and Lin Cheng, asking them to help deliver it.

Since Song's mother delivered the letter to the Lin family, she was not curious about what her son gave to Lin Lu and the others.

Lin Lu took the envelope and looked down at the letter.

Song Chen's handwriting had always been large and sloppy, and it also contained only one sentence: "Brother Lin Cheng, Lin Lulu, I'm doing well here, don't worry. This is pocket money for you."

The total amount is 20, 10 yuan each for the brother and sister.

Li Xianglian kept praising him: "You are so lucky to have such a filial son."

Song's mother, Yang Zhenhui, said, "You are more fortunate than me. Both your son and daughter are so outstanding. Xiaocheng will definitely be admitted to university, and Lulu will be no exception. Your family will soon have two college graduates."

The two children in the family are the light of Li Xianglian's face. Everyone in the village knows that the brother and sister have good grades.

Although the family conditions are difficult, the children do not cause their parents any worries and they will definitely let them go to college.

"Your Xiaochen is not bad either. When he was little, I felt that he would be extraordinary when he grew up."

The two of them flattered each other.

Lin Lu stared at the letter and money in a daze.

It’s really not nice of you to only write a single sentence after being away for so long.

Moreover, if all the money is sent back, he might not have money to eat over there.

A little worried.

But Yang Zhenhui said that since it was given to them by Song Chen, they would accept it.

As long as the children have a good relationship, she won't do anything bad.

The weather was very cold, and Lin Lu used the money he sent her to buy some wool. She saw some girls in her class knitting scarves, and she wanted to make one for him, too.

By the time the scarf knitted by Lin Lu reached Song Chen's hands, it was already the Spring Festival.

This was the first year since they were born that they had not spent with each other.

In his second letter, he wrote a separate one to Lin Lu.

In the letter, he must first thank Lin Lu for giving him the scarf - "My comrades are so envious of me. No one has it, only I have it. Don't worry, I won't lend it to anyone else, and I will take good care of it. I won't dirty it. I haven't lent the water cup you gave me last time to anyone else. Everything you give me is my treasure."

"Lulu, what are you looking at?" Li Xianglian suddenly spoke.

Lin Lu's cheeks were slightly red, and she didn't know whether it was because of the flames from the stove in front of her, or because of Song Chen's passionate words - "It's very cold here, I miss you, Lin Lulu."

"Song Chen's letter." Li Xianglian leaned forward, her waist hunched. "What did she write?"

Although he knew his mother couldn't understand it, Lin Lu subconsciously folded the letter and put it in his pocket.

Looking at the jumping flames, Lin Lu added a few more firewoods: "Nothing much, just about their training. I heard it was very tiring."

"Oh, the rice is going to burn, and you're adding firewood." Li Xianglian hurriedly picked up the basin.

Lin Lu poked the firewood he had just added into the ashes to extinguish it, and then took it out again.

Wash the big iron pan, add oil, throw the vegetables in and stir-fry.

Li Xianglian went and came back, took the spatula from Lin Lu's hand and said, "Let me do it."

Lin Lu sat back down, and Li Xianglian returned to the previous topic: "Being a soldier is hard, otherwise you'd think the food provided by the government is that delicious. But this kid seems a bit heartless. You said he sent all his salary back home, and he has three older brothers, so doesn't he spend all his money on them? He works himself to death, risking his life to earn it, and he doesn't spend a penny. And that new sister-in-law of his doesn't look like someone you'd be happy to mess with."

Lin Lu didn't like talking about this kind of topic: "Auntie is not that kind of person. Mom, don't meddle in her family's affairs."

Li Xianglian muttered quietly, "How could I possibly be meddling? You said he's been without a father since childhood, and his family is poor. If he hadn't joined the army, he definitely wouldn't have found a good wife in the future. Now he's a soldier, and he's supported by the government, but he has so many brothers at home, and with more sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces in the future, don't you think his salary won't be used to subsidize him? A working girl certainly wouldn't want to marry into a family like that."

These were all discussed by the old ladies when they were bored at work.

Lin Lu was a little angry, but he didn't know what he was angry about.

Judging from the marriage situation here, her mother's analysis was absolutely correct.

However, Song Chen is her only friend. She feels that although Song Chen has many shortcomings, he also has many advantages that others do not have.

He is sincere and generous to others, smart, motivated, independent-minded, and his appearance is miles ahead of other villagers.

Anyway, Song Chen holds a unique position in her heart.

"Girls nowadays only look at the character and personality of their partner when they get married. You can't blame him alone for his family problems."

Her daughter was grown up, and Li Xianglian really wanted to talk to her about the secrets of marriage: "You can't think like that. Dating is a matter between two people, but marriage is a matter between two families. When getting married, you should not only look at the other person, but also understand his family situation. Let me tell you, if you marry into a family with in-laws who like to make trouble, you will have a lot of trouble. You are still young, you will understand it later."

Lin Lu left the kitchen angrily and returned to his room.

I wanted to write a letter to Song Chen, but after writing the two words "Song Chen", I didn't know what to write after that.

From outside, Li Xianglian was scolding: "You little bitch, your temper is getting worse and worse. When you go to your husband's house, you will definitely be punished by the old lady."
