She went to the kitchen and saw Shen Chengyi busy at the stove.

Su Yuehua looked at Shen Chengyi in a somewhat infatuated way. The more she looked at him, the more handsome he became. He had thick eyelashes, a high nose bridge, lips of moderate thickness, and a face with clear contours, making him handsome and extraordinary.

"The noodles will be ready soon, go wash up first. I'll call you later." Shen Chengyi's deep and pleasant voice sounded, interrupting Su Yuehua's thoughts.

She walked up and asked, "Are Shen Lili and Wang Yanhong still awake?"

After hearing what Shen Lili asked, Shen Chengyi's relaxed brows furrowed again, "They haven't woken up yet. I'll ask Xiaobo to buy tickets to send them back later."

"Yeah!" Su Yuehua responded and turned to take a shower. Until she left for work, Shen Lili and Wang Yanhong did not wake up.

She was glad not to have to greet them both.

…

With two worrying people at home, Su Yuehua felt uneasy all morning working in the hospital.

It happened that the head nurse took a leave and didn't come to work today. At noon, she saw that there was nothing to do in the department, so she asked for leave from her leader.

The leader sympathized with her husband who was injured on a mission and agreed readily.

She came out of the hospital, jogging all the way, and just caught up with the oncoming bus. After getting off the bus, she saw a familiar figure as soon as she walked to the gate of the compound.

She was afraid of recognizing the wrong person, so she dared to call out "Big Brother" only after she got closer.

Shen Chengzhong was introducing his identity to the young soldier on guard. He turned around and saw Su Yuehua's bright smile. He said excitedly, "Sister-in-law, it's great to see you."

Su Yuehua greeted the young soldier on guard, "This is Captain Shen, who is here to see us."

After that, he turned to Shen Chengzhong and said, “Brother, Chengyi and I are now renting the family building of the light bulb factory next door. He must be very happy to know that you are here.”

Chen Chengzhong asked anxiously: "Sister-in-law, has Lili come to your place?"

Su Yuehua nodded. "Yes, Chengyi said he would find someone to send her and Wang Yanhong back today. They should not have left yet."

There is only one train back to her hometown at night, so Su Yuehua was in such a hurry to come back because she was worried about Wang Yanhong and Shen Chengyi staying in the same room.

When Shen Chengzhong heard that Shen Lili was here, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the sack on the ground, and followed Su Yuehua inside.

Su Yuehua turned her head and saw the sack on Shen Chengzhong’s shoulder, and asked casually: “Brother, why are you carrying such a big sack when you come here.”

"It's not easy for me to come here. It just so happens that the vegetables in my garden are growing well, so I packed them in this sack and brought them to you." Shen Chengzhong's face was tense all the way, but now he finally smiled.

Su Yuehua didn't expect Shen Chengzhong to be so honest. He took the train and the bus all the way, and carrying such a big sack was not light.

"Brother, you have worked hard. Go home and have a good rest later. By the way, has sister-in-law given birth?" When Su Yuehua saw Shen Chengzhong today, she remembered that Li Yumei's due date had long passed, but there was no letter from home announcing the good news.

Shen Chengzhong was stunned by the question, "Sister-in-law, your sister-in-law gave birth prematurely at the end of May. I wrote to you to announce the good news, but didn't you receive it?"

Su Yuehua was also stunned after hearing this, "How could my sister-in-law give birth prematurely? Chengyi and I didn't receive your letter. Chengyi injured his leg while on a mission some time ago and has been hospitalized ever since. We didn't find time to write home."

"Didn't you receive it? Maybe it got lost in the mail." Chen Chengzhong sighed and continued, "Lili is such a troublesome girl. I don't know when she started dating Qin Jianping. Your sister-in-law saw them secretly dating and wanted to take Lili home. She fell down during the scuffle."

"Yuehua, it's all thanks to you for mailing the milk powder home. Your sister-in-law had no milk after giving birth. If you hadn't mailed the milk powder home, the child would have gone hungry." Now Shen Chengzhong felt distressed whenever he thought of how thin and small the little girl was when she was born.

"Qin Jianping." Su Yuehua was not familiar with the villagers, but the name Qin Jianping sounded familiar to her. "Is Qin Jianping an educated youth?"

Chen Chengzhong nodded and couldn't help but sighed heavily. "When these educated youth first came to our village, Uncle Wu told Lili that they couldn't stay in the village for long and asked her to stay away from them. But Lili wouldn't listen and insisted on marrying Qin Jianping. In the end, my mother couldn't persuade her and had to agree."

"But I didn't expect Qin Jianping to be such a bad guy that he failed to conceal the fact that the educated youth were poisoned by coal smoke on New Year's Day. These educated youth complained of headaches and nausea all day long and wanted to go back to the city to recuperate. In the end, the higher-ups had no choice but to process their return to the city."

"Qin Jianping ran away without even saying goodbye as soon as she completed the formalities for returning to the city. The whole village knew that Lili was dating her, so your sister-in-law wanted to find an honest man for Lili to marry."

Do honest people deserve to be unlucky?

Su Yuehua didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, the two of them had already walked downstairs, and she was too lazy to care about Shen Lili's affairs, so she left it to Shen Chengyichou.

"Brother, let's go upstairs."

Su Yuehua took out the key from her bag, turned the door, and found that the room was unusually quiet. She walked into the room quickly with uneasiness in her heart, and was relieved when she saw Shen Chengyi sitting on the bed in the small room reading a book.

Shen Chengyi closed the book he was reading, looked towards the door and asked, "Yuehua, why did you come back at noon?"

“Chengyi, guess who’s here.” As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Chengzhong came in carrying a sack.

When Shen Chengyi saw Shen Chengzhong, he couldn’t suppress the joy in his eyes, “Brother, you are here.”

After saying that, he was about to stand up from the bed, but was stopped by Su Yuehua, “The injury on your leg hasn’t healed yet, why didn’t you see Shen Lili and Wang Yanhong.”

When Shen Lili was mentioned, Shen Chengyi was overwhelmed and frowned, saying, "Lili vomited during lunch and is sleeping in the big house now. Xiaobo went to buy train tickets this morning, but he couldn't buy today's tickets, so he bought three for tomorrow night. Brother, you are here just in time to take Lili back, so I don't have to ask someone to send them back."
