Chapter 244 Farewell
The next morning.
Lin Anan got up while rubbing her waist. Her feet were a little shaky and there were obvious dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she didn't get enough sleep.
Chu Mingzhou, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He packed his things early and prepared to accompany her to see Lin Zihuai off.
A large group of people from the art troupe set out, and it was quite lively.
Lin Zihuai is handsome and tall, and he can be easily spotted in the crowd at a glance.
"Sister, brother-in-law!"
Seeing that it was Lin Anan and the other person coming, he hurriedly greeted the people around him and trotted over.
Chu Mingzhou handed over the basket in his hand, "This is the dry food your sister prepared for you."
Lin Zihuai was delighted and smiled widely, "My sister is still thinking about me."
Lin Anan smiled and shook her head. Seeing that his military cap was a little crooked, she waved at him.
Lin Zihuai lowered his head cooperatively, allowing Lin Anan to help him adjust it.
"Have you brought everything? Be sure to pay attention to safety on the road."
Lin Zihuai smiled and nodded, patting the backpack on his body, "Sister, don't worry, I have brought everything. I am a big man, I can take care of myself."
"There are two portions of dry food in the basket. You...give Dujuan one portion."
Du Juan happened to come over and wanted to say hello to Lin Anan, but when she suddenly heard these words, her eyes flashed.
Lin Zihuai was so happy. He turned around and met Du Juan's gaze. "Du Juan, come quickly. My sister made some dry food for you."
Du Juan just felt her eyes a little sore. She walked forward with a faint smile on her face, looked at Lin Anan, and bent down slightly. She was very well behaved.
"Thank you, Sister An An."
Lin Zihuai's voice was quite loud, and many people around looked over. But seeing Captain Chu was there, they didn't dare to say anything. They just pushed each other and looked at each other, making eyes at each other.
Du Juan's cheeks were hot and she felt a little uneasy.
"You're welcome. I just made a little more. Zihuai can't finish it all by himself. You two are good friends, so please take care of each other on the way."
Lin Zihuai took the responsibility and nodded quickly, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Du Juan."
Du Juan's eyebrows were soft, and she nodded gently, "Sister An An, we know."
At this time, the leader of the art troupe began to urge everyone to get ready, as the train had arrived at the station and was ready to depart.
"Sister, brother-in-law, we have to go, you guys should go back soon." As he said that, Lin Zihuai half-protected Du Juan and squeezed into the carriage, all the while waving at Lin Anan.
Many family members came to see them off, and under the influence of the surrounding atmosphere, Lin Anan also felt a little reluctant.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she reminded him again: "Zi Huai, you must pay attention to safety, behave well when you go there, and be strict with yourself."
"Sister, I know!"
Chu Mingzhou didn't say much, he just raised his hand and patted Lin Anan on the back.
After Lin Zihuai got on the bus and sat in his own seat, he kept gesturing to Lin Anan on the platform.
"Like someone with ADHD." Lin Anan chuckled.
The two stood there and watched them get into the car until the car slowly started and disappeared from sight.
Looking at the direction where the car drove away, my heart felt empty.
He is a little silly, but he is still a good child...
Chu Mingzhou gently hugged her shoulders and comforted her: "He will be back in ten days or so. I will accompany you to pick him up then."
"Okay, thank you Mingzhou."
The two of them walked slowly towards the outside of the train station. Before they left the station, Lin Anan heard someone calling Jiang Bilan.
"Hey~ Is this your little girl? She's so pretty! What are all these bags of yours for..."
Lin Anan turned her head and saw a thin middle-aged woman with a little girl in her teens beside her. They were dressed neatly, with good materials and cut.
Jiang Bilan: "My daughter is smart. I'm going to send her to study in Lan City. It's the best school in Northwest China. Except for the difficulty of getting in, everything else is good."
The person who started the conversation tutted his tongue twice, "That's incredible! Your kid is really promising. By the way, isn't your eldest daughter leaving for the border to perform today? Are you sending her off as well?"
The smile on Jiang Bilan's face disappeared in an instant. She responded casually, took her daughter's hand and left.
The person just passed by Lin Anan.
The disgust in her eyes just happened to fall into Lin Anan's sight.
Chu Mingzhou saw that his young wife looked unhappy, so he asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Lin Anan frowned, looked at the backs of the two people leaving, and shook her head.
The woman who had just spoken to Jiang Bilan was still standing there. When she saw Jiang Bilan walking away, she started chatting with the people around her, "This is Captain Du's wife. Yes, the one he married later! She's very capable and has brought up her children to be very good.
The eldest daughter is the lead singer of the cultural troupe, the second son was taken in as an apprentice by the old bricklayer at a young age, and the youngest daughter is even more unbearable. I heard that she is very good at studying..."
Lin Anan was led away by Chu Mingzhou and didn't listen to the rest of the words.
In short, Jiang Bilan has a very good reputation.
But her relationship with Du Juan was worse than Lin Anan had imagined.
"Ming Zhou, do you think there are really parents in this world who don't love their children?" Lin Anan asked.
Chu Mingzhou was silent for a moment, but what he said was realistic and straightforward, "This kind of thing is actually not uncommon."
Lin Anan sighed and nodded.
"Don't overthink it. This kind of problem has always existed. Even the military district finds it difficult to intervene in other people's family disputes."
"Yeah, I know."
When the two returned home, they happened to meet the postman who was delivering mail.
"There is a letter from Lin Anan."
"Here, I am Lin Anan."
"Two. One is a registered letter from Kyoto, and the other is from Sucheng. Please sign here to confirm that everything is correct."
Lin Anan confirmed the sender and signed for it quickly.
After returning to the house, he started opening the letters, starting with the one from Lin's father.
When the letter was unfolded, what caught my eye was beautiful cursive writing. It was a total of five pages, three of which were devoted to asking about the daughter's health, with the last two pages only mentioning the latest situation at home.
But this letter was written to his daughter who lived thousands of miles away, so Lin's father naturally only reported good news and not bad news, and only talked about good things.
"My dad said that our brigade had a bumper harvest last year and was named an excellent brigade this spring. He was also selected as an outstanding representative of the county."
Chu Mingzhou hummed lightly, sat down next to Lin Anan, and stayed with her quietly.
Lin Anan looked up and found that he had unbuttoned his military uniform, revealing the collar of his white shirt. This man, who usually always had a straight military posture, now had a gentle look in his eyes.
Lin Anan leaned closer to him and opened the second letter.
It was sent by reporter Chen, who first expressed regret that Lin Anan could not go to Xinhua News Agency and missed the opportunity to become partners.
He also said that his special column has already started and is progressing very smoothly with good results.
And the most important point...
"Reporter Chen actually wanted to recommend me to take the special mission foreign language proficiency test."
Abbreviated as Translator's Qualification Certificate.
