Ke Xiaoli was young and an educated youth. She was usually lively and polite to the members of the production team and liked to call them.
She set up a stall to sell tofu, and the grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters in the fifth production team all took good care of her.
Everyone praised her, saying that a girl who grew up in a county town was so capable that she could even make tofu, and make it so well.
Her business was very good every morning, and she seemed to be favored by all the members of the Fifth Production Team.
When Shen Xiaobei and Fan Huifang saw this, they were both envious, and of course, more happy and relieved.
Even Kong Wanwan, a jealous woman, never bothered Ke Xiaoli once. Instead, she always took care of her business.
She also praised the tofu she made, saying that it was delicious when fried, roasted, made into soup, and mixed with sugar.
After hearing what she said, Ke Xiaoli no longer felt disgusted with her at all.
However, compared to her relationship with Kong Wanwan, she is of course closer to Fan Huifang and Shen Xiaobei. After all, the three of them eat together every day and live in the same house.
This kind of sisterhood of mutual support cannot be easily replaced by others.
At the end of March, Duan Xichuan's deployment mission was completed and he returned to the army.
As soon as he returned to the army, he saw the letters written to him by Shen Xiaobei and Duan Donglin.
He first opened the one written by Shen Xiaobei.
When he saw her letter, instructing him to return to the team safely and smoothly, his heart suddenly felt warm.
This feeling of being missed by his beloved woman made his longing for Shen Xiaobei suddenly overflow like a flood.
After reading the letter, he couldn't help but take out the funny drawings she had drawn for him before and review them again, which made the corners of his mouth curl up beautifully and charmingly.
Later, he opened the letter from Duan Donglin.
In the letter, Duan Donglin told him about the scene of Tang Weiwei and Shen Xiaobei having dinner at Duan's house on the third day of the New Year.
There was also what Duan Beihai said to everyone at the dinner table, "I want Sister Chen to be my second sister-in-law." Duan Donglin also wrote it word for word in the letter with a sense of ridicule and gossip.
“Little brat, if you want Sister Shen to be your second sister-in-law, then Second Brother will satisfy you!”
When Duan Xichuan heard what Duan Beihai said, his narrow eyes were filled with sweetness, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
After reading Duan Donglin's letter, he began to write replies to Shen Xiaobei and Duan Donglin respectively.
In early April, the Duan family and Shen Xiaobei both received letters from Duan Xichuan, which they both felt had been a long time coming.
Duan Donglin opened the letter from the Duan family and read it to the whole family. As he read, his eyes widened and he was stunned by what he read!
The other members of the Duan family were all shocked when they heard the contents of the letter that Duan Donglin read.
Because Duan Xichuan told them in the letter that he couldn’t take leave to go home for the time being, but he wanted to give Shen Xiaobei the status of his fiancée now.
So after receiving this letter, he wanted to ask his family to make arrangements and help him and Shen Xiaobei hold an engagement ceremony.
On the day of the ceremony, he asked Duan Donglin and Duan Beihai to represent him and personally pick up Shen Xiaobei to come to the Duan family to participate.
Duan Xichuan also wrote in the letter with great consideration: I have sent back the expenses for Xiaobei and I’s engagement ceremony. Please go to the post office in person to pick it up when the time comes.
Having read this, Duan Donglin stopped.
He excitedly said to his family, "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Hongmian, Xichuan even sent money back for the engagement ceremony. It seems like he's not kidding us!"
