"Long Wei!"
Before Yun Huaying reached home, she saw the heroic Long Wei standing next to the vegetable garden from afar.
Long Wei waved at her, smiling broadly, and shouted, "Huaying, it took me almost three days to get here. Hurry up and make me some food. I'm starving."
Yun Huaying ran back quickly, carrying the medicine box on her back, and she rarely smiled brightly: "Why are you here?"
"Xiao Zhengzi is worried that his future wife might be targeted by flies, so he asked me to come and help him keep a close watch on her."
Yun Huaying laughed helplessly, and someone walked up to her and beckoned her, "Come on, go home first. I'll make you some food. We can talk after you've eaten and drunk enough."
"Oh, I don't mind dishes like braised pig's trotters, chicken stewed with Gastrodia elata, salt-baked chicken, and pork with preserved vegetables. Don't make too many, just three or five will be enough." Long Wei didn't consider himself an outsider and started ordering dishes as soon as he arrived.
Yun Huaying just smiled and said, "I'll make it for you in my dreams tonight."
"No need in my dreams. I've already eaten enough in my dreams."
Before, Song Nanfeng deliberately talked about it in front of them, saying that Yun Huaying's dishes were no worse than those in the State Guesthouse, and her old man also said they were delicious. At home, he also talked about how her steamed pig's trotters were soft, tender, delicious and full of flavor, and much more delicious than the ones made at home. She became greedy after hearing it so much.
After arriving at the house, Yun Huaying introduced everyone first: "Lin Shan, Jiang Yuan, this is a friend I made when I went to Kyoto some time ago. She is also Han Zheng's comrade and colleague, a true Iron Rose, and a legendary female soldier in the army, Long Wei."
"Tsk tsk, the label you put on me is a bit too heavy." Long Wei rarely felt a little embarrassed.
Yun Huaying didn't think it was a big deal; she deserved these labels. She introduced them to Long Wei, "These two are my good friends. They were also sent here as educated youth. Lin Shan and I were middle school classmates. I met Jiang Yuan when I came here. She's from Province S."
"Comrade Long Wei, hello!"
Lin Shan and Jiang Yuan both have a heroic complex. When they heard that she was the legendary Iron Rose, their eyes lit up when they looked at her.
Long Wei extended his hand and shook hands with them, speaking briskly, "Lin Shan, Jiang Yuan, hello. I'm about the same age as you, and I hit it off with Hua Ying right away. Her friends are my friends, so when we get along, just be casual and call each other by their names."
"Okay." Both of them liked her personality.
She had come from afar and hadn't eaten yet, so Yun Huaying immediately got busy: "We just finished eating. I'll make you something simple tonight, and I'll cook you braised pig's trotters tomorrow."
"Just anything will do. I'm not picky about food." Long Wei was joking with her before.
Jiang Yuangang had already cooked the rice. He took a piece of meat, eggs and seaweed from the house and pulled two carrots from the ground. The three of them worked together to make a simple meat dish, a vegetable dish and a soup for Long Wei.
Long Wei brought her gifts from Kyoto, and also gave some to Lin Shan and Jiang Yuan. Now he asked, "Huaying, where do the Han family's grandparents live?"
"I live in the house at the back." Yun Huaying pointed outside the window.
Seeing that the meal would take a while, Long Wei decided, "Huaying, I'm going to go visit the two elders first and come back for dinner later."
"Okay, you go first."
Long Wei packed up some things and walked quickly towards the adobe house on the slope.
As she reached the fence, she saw the old man coming out. He was still energetic, with only a few more white hairs, and not much changed. He smiled and called out, "Grandpa Han."
Old Man Han came out to pour water. When he heard the clear shout, he was stunned for a moment. He stood there and looked at her, but didn't recognize her.
"Who are you?"
"Grandpa Han, don't you recognize me?" Long Wei's expression changed instantly, looking resentful.
Grandma Han also came out now. She wore reading glasses at night. As she approached, a little girl with pigtails and a habit of fighting all day popped up in her mind. The heroic girl in front of her matched her memory. She called out her name a little uncertainly, "Little Weizi?"
"Grandma Han, you are so nice. You still remember me, but Grandpa Han doesn't even remember me." Long Wei immediately pushed open the fence door, walked over and gave the elder a hug.
"Oh, it's really Xiao Weizi." Grandma Han smiled happily.
Old Man Han also came over, looked her up and down, and smiled deeply: "Xiao Weizi, it's you, why are you here?"
"I've been on vacation lately and have nothing to do, so the old man sent me here to keep you company for a while."
Mr. Han's eyes flickered slightly, and without saying anything else, he smiled and greeted: "Come, come, sit inside."
Grandma Han also pulled her into the house and said to her husband, "Park Xuan, Xiao Weizi has come from afar and must not have eaten yet. You go and cook, and I'll prepare the dishes."
"Grandma Han, please stop working. I arrived ten minutes ago and have already met Huaying. She's already preparing the food. I'll go downstairs to eat."
The two elders of the Han family thought that they should have met Huaying when she went to Kyoto last time. The two children were of similar age and had similar personalities and temperaments, so they should have had a personal relationship. They also supported their friendship.
Grandma Han smiled and pulled her into the house. "Okay, Xiao Weizi, you can eat at Huaying's tonight, and come to grandpa and grandma's to eat tomorrow."
"Grandma Han, I think I'll be staying here for a while. I'll prepare my own food and vegetables, so I'll have to trouble you to cook for me."
Long Wei didn't plan to eat at Yun Huaying's for a long time. The educated youth worked hard to earn work points and food, and she would not go there to eat often and add to their burden.
"There's no need to stock up on food or vegetables; we still have some simple meals at home."
Grandma Han asked her to sit down and made her some tea. She asked with concern, "Xiao Weizi, are your grandparents and parents all right?"
"Please keep my grandfather in good health and still able to fight the Japanese invaders. Grandma is not as healthy. The injuries she suffered in her youth are slowly starting to show up. She hurts here today and there tomorrow. The health doctor gives her regular rehabilitation therapy, but overall she's doing well. My parents are in good health and have stable jobs, but they're so busy every day that I don't see them often."
The old man took out apples, biscuits, candies, etc. from the room. These were prepared by Yun Huaying for them. They usually didn't want to eat them, so he gave them to her.
"Xiao Weizi, eat something first to fill your stomach."
"Grandpa Han, I won't be polite to you."
Long Wei was hungry, so he grabbed some biscuits and started eating. He also gave them the gifts on the table. "Grandpa Han, these are the gifts my parents prepared for you. They are all milk powder, calcium tablets, and other nutritional supplements. You should eat them on time to keep your body healthy."
"Your parents are thoughtful."
Grandma Han handed her the tea and said with a smile, "We are still in good health. Huaying cured our minor ailments. Your grandfather was able to fight the Japanese, and we are also capable. If necessary, we can really carry guns and go to the battlefield."
"With these two veteran heroes showing up, those evil devils and Japanese devils will definitely be scared to death."
"Ha ha..."
Her words made the two old people laugh out loud.
