Chapter 36: Package Received
Although she said it was okay and that she was used to it, Lin Yunxi still kept it in mind. After returning home, she used Lingquan water and avocado essential oil to make two bottles of moisturizer.
"Mom, these two bottles of moisturizer are for you to use on your hands. Just apply them once every night before going to bed. It's not a hassle at all."
"Okay, Mom will remember it." Mother Gu accepted it with a smile on her face, and flipped through it in her hands like a treasure.
Among these three daughters-in-law, Yunxi is the most considerate. She took it to heart when I just mentioned it casually.
On the other side, Lin Yunxi saw her father-in-law also looking at her eagerly, so she smiled and said, "Dad, there's one for you too."
As she spoke, she took out a large bag of tobacco from the bottom of the backpack and handed it over.
The older generation likes to smoke dry tobacco because it is cheaper and easier to make.
However, dry tobacco also has a big disadvantage. Compared with processed cigarettes, it contains much more tar and nicotine, and long-term intake can easily lead to lung diseases.
Mr. Gu has been smoking all his life, so it seems impossible for him to quit smoking completely.
Lin Yunxi tried to buy him cartons of cigarettes, but was rejected by Gu's father because the cigarettes were too weak and difficult to smoke.
Therefore, for the sake of her father-in-law's health, Lin Yunxi specially opened up a small piece of land in the space, planted some tobacco, and then made tobacco leaves by herself.
"The tobacco you used to smoke was too irritating and bad for your lungs. I've chosen a milder tobacco for you. You should smoke this from now on."
Father Gu took it impatiently, poured it into the pipe, lit it and took a puff, then said in surprise: "Not bad, strong enough, I like this."
As he said this, he signaled to Mother Gu with his eyes, saying that this was bought for me by my daughter-in-law, and now I can smoke as much as I want.
Of course, he was not happy for too long. Lin Yunxi continued, "Dad, although this tobacco is relatively mild, you can't smoke too much. You can only smoke three sticks a day at most."
Although the tobacco leaves can remove all harmful substances after the spatial transformation, Lin Yunxi did not clean them thoroughly in order to maintain the lasting effect of the dry tobacco.
Then, she looked at Mother Gu: "Mom, please help me supervise my dad."
Mother Lin glanced at her old man, then said in a loud voice: "No problem, I will definitely supervise it well."
Unconsciously, the relationship between Lin Yunxi and her in-laws has changed significantly.
At first, it was Gu's father and mother who made the decision, and Lin Yunxi followed their instructions. Then the three of them began to discuss it.
Until now, Gu's father and mother would mostly listen to their daughter-in-law. When they encountered something difficult to decide, they would specifically consult Lin Yunxi and listen to her advice.
Before leaving, Lin Yunxi gave another instruction:
"Mom and Dad, there's one more thing. Don't prepare the fried food for the New Year. It's hard to make for two people."
"I'll make it together and send it to you when the time comes."
Mother Gu smiled and replied, "Okay, then your father and I will have a treat this year."
Province Z.
On this day, Gu Zheng and his soldiers had just finished a five-kilometer weighted cross-country run and were currently stretching on the playground. From a distance, he saw Jiang Tao running towards them excitedly.
"Brother, your package is really unique."
Gu Zheng was also a little surprised. His mother used to send him letters, but this month she sent a big package.
Could it be his wife? In just a moment, Gu Zheng suppressed this thought.
That shouldn't be possible. His wife hasn't even been willing to write a letter since they got married, so how could she send so many things?
Gu Zheng took the package calmly and prepared to take it back to the dormitory to open it.
The next second, Jiang Tao quickly snatched it away: "We'll share it in half when we meet!"
This is a tradition in the army. Everyone will share the food sent from home with their comrades.
Gu Zheng held his forehead with his hand helplessly. Why did the commander assign him such a nonsensical assistant?
"It's not time to leave yet. It's not nice to unpack here."
Jiang Tao said with a playful smile: "It doesn't matter if we take a few minutes off. We can take them to the cafeteria to eat later. Don't you think so?"
The new recruits who were looking at this side eagerly immediately said in unison: "Yes!"
Gu Zheng no longer insisted and let Jiang Tao open the package.
After seeing what was inside, everyone exclaimed.
A big bag full of meat, everyone will have a treat at noon today.
Gu Zheng was also a little surprised, but what he was sure of was that this was definitely not sent by his mother.
He rummaged through the package and found two letters, one of which was signed by Lin Yunxi.
Gu Zheng felt a little complicated for a moment, but his men kept opening the envelopes.
In his wife's letter, the words between the lines were somewhat distant, talking about trivial matters at home, talking about parents and children, but not mentioning himself at all.
Seeing the end, Gu Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Didn't want him to go back?
Next, there was a letter from his mother. Unlike the previous one, this letter was a long and arduous letter praising his wife's virtues.
He said that his wife is different now. She respects the elderly at home, takes good care of the old couple, and educates Yanyan to be very well behaved.
Finally, he was told to go home for the New Year no matter what, and not to leave such a good wife alone at home after she has grown up.
Gu Zheng was somewhat interested. He also wanted to know how his wife had changed so much.
Besides, there’s what his mother said. Yanyan has already started to recognize people and remember things. If he doesn’t come back, his son will really think that he has no father.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng took out a five-spice braised chicken and a can of beef sauce from the package, turned to Jiang Tao and said.
"Leave some for me, and share the rest with the others."
"Thank you, battalion commander, and thank you, sister-in-law." When everyone heard this, they immediately expressed their gratitude.
He said it so casually now, but he would regret it after Gu Zheng tasted the food cooked by his wife.
After finishing the instructions, Gu Zheng waved his hand and asked everyone to disperse and go to the cafeteria to eat, while he took his food and went to the courtyard of the commander's house.
"Commander, I have something to ask you."
Zhou Guoan took a bite of food and said calmly, "You kid, just stick your butt out. I know what you want to do. You're here for vacation."
Gu Zheng gave a thumbs up and said, "Master, you know me best. Please approve my leave."
That's natural. After all, Gu Zheng is his most capable and most promising subordinate.
Zhou Guoan had originally planned to let him take a vacation this year, but he was not granted leave in the past two years due to the situation. This year, he is not so nervous.
"Okay, I'll take it." Zhou Guoan didn't keep anyone in suspense and agreed directly.
After all, the kid hasn’t been home for almost three years, and his son at home is probably two years old now. It’s time to go back and see him.
"Thank you, Master. Enjoy your meal and drink."
“By the way, this is what my wife sent me. You can try it.” Gu Zheng left the thing and ran away.
"This brat... is quite filial." After the person left, Commander Zhou scolded with a smile.
