After the publishing was finalized, Shen Xiaobei decided to stop writing for a while to clear his mind.
Get some rest, spend some time with your kids, and catch up with your family and some old friends.
She wrote a letter to Chen Chenshan, Shen Mingzhu, Ke Xiaoli, Fan Huifang and Gao Hongmian, briefly reporting to them about her life since joining the army and how much she missed them.
Afterwards, their reply letters were delivered to the guard room of the compound by the postman one after another.
The content of Chenchenshan's reply was still not much, only one page.
In the letter, he said that Shen Mingliang's grades had improved this year and he no longer failed any exams. Also, Xu Yongzhi's braised food stall was doing good business during holidays.
Finally, she tactfully expressed her longing for Shen Xiaobei and her two grandchildren, and asked her and Duan Xichuan when they would bring the children home for a visit. She also asked them to remember to write a letter in advance to let them know so that they could prepare in advance.
Reading this short letter from Chen Shenshan, Shen Xiaobei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Father’s love is like a mountain.
A father's love for his children is usually like a mountain, heavy but silent and not good at expressing in words.
Shen Xiaobei felt it from this letter from Chen Shenshan.
Before, she still somewhat regarded Chenyushan as the original owner's father in her heart, but now that she is a mother, she has a deeper understanding of her parents.
In my heart, I am willing to regard Chenzhongshan as my real father in this world.
Shen Mingzhu actually talked to her quite a bit in her reply.
She reported to her elder sister, or should I say showed off, how many kinds of farm work she could do in the production team and how skilled she was in doing them.
Also, what level has her sewing skills reached now, what kind of clothes can she make, how many custom-made clothing orders has she received during this period, and how much food coupons and small money has she earned.
It also wrote about how she and Ke Xiaoli often competed with each other in drawing designs to see who was more creative and drew better.
Seeing that the two of them got along so well, Shen Xiaobei was deeply relieved.
Ke Xiaoli is more calm and steady than Shen Mingzhu. With her and Shen Mingzhu together, Shen Xiaobei feels much more at ease.
Ke Xiaoli's reply was much more emotional than the letter written by her biological sister Shen Mingzhu.
Hers was also the longest, at four full pages.
In the letter, she wrote a lot about missing Shen Xiaobei, and also about the happy times she and Fan Huifang spent together before they got married and moved away.
After reading this, Shen Xiaobei's memories were instantly brought back to the days when he was a sent-down youth.
Those days were warm and sad.
But all she recalled at this moment were warm memories. Perhaps humans have the ability to automatically filter out unhappy memories.
However, at the end of the letter, Ke Xiaoli quickly went on to write about the affairs of Kong Wanwan, Du Wenli and Mu Fangting.
Kong Wanwan and Du Wenli still quarreled frequently. Sometimes the quarrels were so loud, or their daughter Niuniu cried so loudly that they could hear it in the yard.
Niu Niu has grown up a little and looks more and more beautiful.
However, it was her misfortune to be born in such a family where her parents had twisted personalities and were constantly quarreling.
She has always been timid and always looks at people with a cautious look. Ke Xiaoli feels sorry for her and often gives her some snacks.
She said helplessly in the letter: Sister Xiaobei, I really want to do more for Niu Niu to make her childhood happier, but this is all I can do. I can only send her some snacks.
Seeing what Ke Xiaoli wrote, Shen Xiaobei suddenly had tears in his eyes.
She delivered Niu Niu herself. This little girl has always been in her heart and she has never forgotten her.
However, as an outsider, she could only stand by and watch her unfortunate fate, unable to offer any help.
No, maybe she could still do something?
Thinking of this, Shen Xiaobei suddenly had an inspiration for writing in her mind, and she suddenly had the theme of the second book.
She decided to start writing the second manuscript after the beginning of the year.
For her first book, she wrote essays, and for her second book, she planned to write a novel based on Niuniu.
The book tells the story of a little girl from an unfortunate family, her tortuous growth and tragic fate, so as to give warnings and inspiration to men and women who do not know how to manage their marriages.
After the writing direction of the second book was temporarily determined in his mind, Shen Xiaobei continued to read Ke Xiaoli's letter.
In the letter, Ke Xiaoli also wrote about some things about Mu Fangting, saying that a scorer from the fourth production team next door did not mind Mu Fangting's past relationship with Du Wenli, and had started pursuing her a few months ago.
Mu Fangting ignored the man at first, but later she must have secretly fallen in love with him because she came back very late from outside on several nights.
She and Shen Mingzhu were a few years younger than her and had never dated anyone, so she felt embarrassed to ask her about it.
Anyway, since Mu Fangting started getting together with that man, her mood seemed to have improved a lot, and she started to smile. Occasionally, when Kong Wanwan scolded her in a sarcastic tone, she didn't seem to care that much.
Sure enough, the most effective way to heal a broken heart is to start a new relationship.
Although Shen Xiaobei didn't have a good impression of Mu Fangting, she couldn't help but smile and feel happy for her when she saw that she was finally able to walk out of the shadow of the past.
It turns out that only when people keep moving forward can they impress others and shine.
Gao Hongmian and Fan Huifang, two married women like Shen Xiaobei, also have remarkable lives and a promising future.
