After dinner, Yu Jiashun asked Cheng Jingmo, "Has this work report been submitted to the communication department?"

Cheng Jingmo replied: "I submitted it the day before yesterday and will get the approval next Monday. There should be no problem."

Yu Xiangyang made an indispensable contribution to the successful completion of this mission.

Cheng Jingmo took credit for Yu Xiangyang in his work report.

Yu Jiashun asked: "When are you planning to go back?"

"I'll hand over my work and get the letter of introduction next week, and I should be able to go back on Sunday."

Yu Jiashun said, "I'll have your mother prepare some things for you to take back with you these days. The journey is long and work is busy, so your mother and I won't be visiting you in person."

Cheng Jingmo replied: "No need to prepare anything. It's hard to bring anything for a long journey."

Besides, his family had never brought anything to Yu Xiangnian's parents.

Even when the two of them got married, his family didn't spend a penny. The dowry and other items were prepared by Yu Xiangnian's parents.

Zhao Ruoru continued, "This is a courtesy and we cannot neglect it. When I'm ready, I'll have Xiangguo send it to you."

After dinner, Zhao Ruozhu called Yu Xiangnian into the room and gave her a thick envelope.

"There's a thousand yuan in it and some nationally accepted bills. I'm going to buy some things for Cheng Jingmo's family."

One thousand yuan is equivalent to an average family's annual income, and is also several months' salary for Yu Jiashun and Zhao Ruozhu.

Yu Xiangnian really didn't want it, "Mom, we have money, you keep these."

Zhao Ruozhu stuffed the envelope in his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Take it!"

Then she said worriedly, "His home is so far away, you must not be used to it. With your behavior, you will definitely not get along well with your parents-in-law and sisters-in-law. When you go to his house, be more diligent and buy more things for them so that they can take care of you more."

Yu Xiangnian smiled and comforted her, "Mom, I'll only be with them for a month at most. If we get along, then so be it. If not, then forget it."

Zhao Ruozhu felt relieved, "That's right, Mom wanted you to marry Cheng Jingmo because she was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle these relationships well."

Zhao Ruozhu added, "I'll prepare the things, and you can buy what you need yourself."

"Then you should prepare less. It's not easy to carry."

Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangnian returned home and began to plan their trip.

The family has a total fund of 750 yuan. Cheng Jingmo received three months' salary of more than 370 yuan yesterday. Together with the money given by Zhao Ruozhu, the total amount is 2,120 yuan.

Yu Xiangnian's royalties for the past three months were more than 700 yuan, plus the previous ones, the total was more than 1,100 yuan.

She had to find some time to find Brother Ping and ask him to help sell the house.

"Cheng Jingmo, what do your parents like to eat, or what do they like?"

Cheng Jingmo said, "They are from the countryside, they don't have any particulars."

"Then let's see what my mom has prepared. If it's not enough, we can buy more."

"Yeah." Cheng Jingmo hugged Yu Xiangnian into his arms, "What else did you dream about me?"

Yu Xiangnian was stunned for a moment before realizing that Cheng Jingmo was talking about her dream about them in the mountains.

She bit his shoulder and pretended to be angry. "How dare you say that! You ignored me even in my dreams! I talked to you and you didn't even look at me!"

"Then how do you know my exact location? There are only numbers on the map, but no specific scene."

Yu Xiangnian: “…”

Cheng Jingmo, this dog, can always find problems in the details.

"Of course, Yu Xiangyang told me."

Cheng Jingmo said: "Yu Xiangyang made the greatest contribution this time. Without him, this mission would not have been completed."

Only now did Yu Xiangnian hear from Cheng Jingmo about the difficulties they encountered in the mountains and the sacrifices everyone made at the cost of their lives.

After listening, Yu Xiangnian asked, "What did you write in the suicide note you left for me?"

At that time, Cheng Jingmo was prepared to make sacrifices.

Those sensational words could only be written under that specific circumstances.

Now if you ask him to speak, he can't say it.

He said, "I'll let you live a good life in the future."

Yu Xiangnian knew he was embarrassed to say it, so she said, "You had the nerve to say those things the day you left, so why are you embarrassed to say them now?"

Cheng Jingmo asked: "Are you wearing a hat?"

When the word "hat" was mentioned, Yu Xiangnian shook his head.

"Cheng Jingmo, your vision is really hard to describe!" Yu Xiangnian said, "If I wear that hat, won't Xiaojie think I'm the bald Little Red Riding Hood?"

Cheng Jingmo rarely laughed out loud, "Your stories are really hard to describe in a few words."

"I have many stories that are hard to tell. Do you want to hear them?"

"What's the story?"

"The story of Wu Song and Lin Daiyu."

"Don't talk about it, I don't dare to listen."

Two days later, Zhao Ruozhu prepared everything and asked Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo to come to his house to see if there was anything else needed.

Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo looked at the two large boxes full of things and fell silent!

One box contained four boxes of tea, four bottles of wine, four large bags of candy, and two ginseng roots, and another box was filled with dried seafood.

Zhao Ruozhu asked again: "Cheng Jingmo, does your father smoke? I'll prepare a few more cigarettes."

Yu Xiangnian replied, "Mom, we can't even take these two big suitcases on the train, not to mention our luggage and our own shopping."

Cheng Jingmo also said: "Mom, there are too many things. We can just bring some dried seafood."

To save face for his daughter, Zhao Ruozhu still complained that these things were not enough, "How can there be more? These things are necessary!"

Finally, the family discussed it.

Don’t bring any candy, reduce the amount of tea and wine by half, and bring all the dried seafood and mail them over.

Ginseng was too expensive, so they packed it in their luggage and took it with them. By the time they reached their hometown, these things had almost arrived.

In five days, Cheng Jingmo completed the work handover, got a letter of introduction, and bought a train ticket.

The army granted him 45 days of leave, so when they returned to Nancheng, it was the end of May.

During these forty-five days, Yu Xiangnian planned to finish translating the book he was working on and would not take any more work.

With more than half a year left, she has to prepare for the college entrance examination review.

Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo didn't prepare much. Each of them brought three sets of clothes, as well as books and manuscripts, which filled up two suitcases.

When Yu Xiangnian was packing condoms into the suitcase, Cheng Jingmo's mouth twitched.

How embarrassing it would be to be seen when passing through a checkpoint!

"Yu Xiangnian, why don't you just not bring it now?" He said in a negotiating tone.

Yu Xiangnian glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and took out the condom.

"Okay, I won't bring it." Yu Xiangnian said, "Then you are not allowed to touch me during this period of time."

Cheng Jingmo: "...you should bring it with you."

Cheng Jingmo was carrying two suitcases and a large luggage bag on his shoulder, Yu Xiangnian was carrying a shoulder bag, and Xiaojie was carrying a large schoolbag.

The family of three boarded the train to Cheng Jingmo's hometown.
