Time flies, and in a blink of an eye we have entered the door of January.
We said goodbye to 1977 and came to 1978, and the changes in new policies were getting closer and closer.
That day, Ming Leyao, who had just finished class, took an oversized package from Pang Jianyuan with a confused look on her face.
After she opened the box at home, she saw the scarf, clothes, and tickets and money in a wooden box, and she knew who had given it to her.
It would be a lie to say that I’m unhappy. Who doesn’t like receiving gifts?
I took out the clothes and scarves inside and tried them one by one. I found that they all fit well. I knew that Fu Wencheng must have put a lot of effort into preparing them.
Ming Leyao's heart was a little disturbed. She had been numbing herself with busyness these days, which was originally of some use, but after receiving this letter, she was back to square one.
Why..
She stood up and folded her clothes neatly, then took out the sweater she had knitted earlier from the closet, and carefully packed the pork she had frozen the past two days, preparing to ask the team leader for a letter of introduction later. She wanted to mail some things to Fu Wencheng, and by the way, go to the city to give New Year gifts to the Cui family's elders.
Originally, she had no plan to go, but after receiving something from her man in the mail, she suddenly couldn't suppress the urge to see him. Ming Leyao decided to follow her heart, join the army, and spend the New Year with her man...
Now that it has been decided, many things need to be prepared.
Tomorrow is the day for the children's exams. After the exams, she and Liu Qiu Shuang will mark the grades, rank the students, and assign some homework. Then her work will come to an end.
At night, Ming Leyao took advantage of darkness and quietly went to the cowshed again to see if the three old men were okay. Unexpectedly, she heard good news.
Mr. Li can go back now.
"Really? Grandpa Li? You can finally go back?"
Ming Leyao's fair face was full of surprise, and she held Grandpa Li's hand to confirm.
"Yes, yes, I have to thank you for this, girl. If it weren't for your careful care of us, which allowed us to recover in the past few months, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to wait for this news."
"Grandpa Li, this is your own blessing. Even without me, you can still wait. Now that your affairs are dealt with, I believe the other two will be there soon."
"Yes, it's almost there, almost there, we're finally through."
Looking at the longing on the faces of the three old men, Ming Leyao was truly happy for them.
"Old Li, when I go back this time, I will definitely arrange a good position for you. It won't be a low position."
"Brothers, it will be soon. You guys, just wait patiently. Besides, there is Le Yao girl here to take care of you. You don't have to worry about anything. Just wait for the result."
"I... I have an idea... I have been thinking about this idea for a long time. I didn't dare to say it out loud before because I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to hold on until the day we go back. Now... now that we can all go back, this idea of mine has become even stronger."
"What's wrong, Lao Meng? If you have any ideas, just say it directly."
"That's right, tell me what you think."
"Old He... I want to say that you should acknowledge Le Yao as your granddaughter. I'm not saying that your Binzi won't come back, but we are relieved to have such a caring little girl by your side. Besides, you can keep each other company, and with your status when you go back, you can also protect her... Even if... well... having a girl by your side means you have someone to take care of you in your old age, right?"
When Mr. Meng said this, Mr. Li’s eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, yes, Lao He, this girl is sincere and kind-hearted. She is a good girl. She will follow the army in the future, and you will definitely not leave the army after you return. It will be more convenient for you to take care of her than the two of us."
"Of course, we also need to ask Le Yao's opinion."
Mr. He was somewhat moved by what the two people said, and subconsciously turned his gaze to Ming Leyao.
Ming Leyao had no reason to disagree. She knew that these old men were doing this for her own good. Besides, after the blow from his youngest son, Mr. He's hidden illness had already caused many fatal lesions. She was also worried about whether she would be well taken care of after returning. If she could live with him...
She promised to make the old man lively and energetic.
"That's fine with me."
He was the first to express his own opinion and threw the question back to Mr. He.
"I...I...I am...having another granddaughter?"
"That's right, Old He. You got a granddaughter who is so capable, pretty, and has a good personality. You should be happy."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes. I am happy. Hahahaha. Okay, okay. I, Lao He, will no longer be alone."
"Oh, does this count as a happy ending?"
"Yes, why not?"
"It has to be you, Old Meng. You are indeed a scholar. Your brain works very quickly."
"As for me, if it weren't for the troubles of those useless people at home, I would have to compete with you for the matter of recognizing Le Yao."
"Thank you, Lao Li, for your kindness. Hahahaha."
The three old men laughed heartily, completely different from their usual sad expressions. Ming Leyao, who was sitting next to them, felt happy for them.
After Ming Leyao returned, she began to prepare conditioning medicine for the three old men, trying to help their bodies recover more and withstand the fatigue brought by the journey.
In addition, she also prepared a lot of snacks, which are easy to carry and can be eaten right away.
The busy work lasted until dawn. She quickly packed up and ran straight to the cowshed with her things.
The cowshed was extremely lively at this time. There were comrades coming down from above to meet the people, and many people from the Shangjiaqiao Brigade were watching the fun nearby. However, they were all stopped by the comrades from the militia and kept at a distance. Only Uncle Ming and his family were inside.
"Uncle Captain."
Ming Leyao realized that she might also be stopped outside, so she could only stand there and shout loudly.
"It's Le Yao girl, why are you here?"
Pang Jianyuan didn't quite understand, but he still walked up to her.
"Uncle, can I come in?"
Ming Leyao whispered quietly into Pang Jianyuan's ear.
"This... Le Yao, it's not that your uncle won't let you in, the point is that your uncle can't make the decision..."
"It's okay, uncle. Just go in and tell Mr. Li that I have something for him. He will tell his comrades in the organization."
"Okay, that's easy, just wait."
Pang Jianyuan didn't hesitate, turned around and ran straight to Mr. Li, whispered a few words in his ear, and saw that Mr. Li's eyes quickly locked onto Ming Leyao.
"Quick, quick, quick, let Le Yao come over here."
Since Mr. Li had spoken, the others naturally had no objections. They were just curious as to why Mr. Li was so excited.
He looked quite cool just now? ?
