The two houses are close by, so Li Qin didn't go home for lunch.
After working at Wen Qiao's house for three consecutive days, I finally got everything sorted out.
Put everything that should be in a canning jar into it.
Spicy chicken is served in jars.
The braised ducks were individually wrapped in oil paper and tied tightly.
Wen Qiao didn't waste her time using Li Qin. After preparing these dishes, she sent Li Qin a braised duck and a plate of spicy stir-fried chicken.
The beef jerky, lamb jerky, and pork jerky were all packed into sealed jars.
She left herself a few snacks to chew on and pass the time.
The rest were packed up and put into cloth bags.
All the supplies that Zhang Wenshu had accompanied to the border guard post were sent to Shen Jichuan.
When Shen Jichuan received the gifts from his young wife, he could hardly believe it.
Besides a letter, there were also two large bags of food.
The key point is that all of these are meat.
It's still an easy-to-store type of dried meat.
The soldiers carried the items to the commander's dormitory and then left.
Shen Jichuan first opened the letter that Wen Qiao had given him.
As he read the contents of the letter, Shen Jichuan's upturned lips remained fixed on the page.
My wife is wonderful, and the baby in her belly is doing well too.
The family's nanny takes good care of her.
Political Commissar Wang and Sister-in-law Li Qin were very friendly to her, and the people in the family compound treated her well; everyone lived in harmony and took care of each other.
Shen Jichuan actually believed Wen Qiao's words.
He truly believed that everyone liked Wen Qiao, treated her well, never made things difficult for her, and never bullied her because of her young age.
Or perhaps it was just that the joy he felt upon seeing Wen Qiao's letter clouded his rational mind.
Let him only think about good things.
When people are happy and content, they feel that everyone in the world is a good person and kind.
That makes sense.
Shen Jichuan opened the things his young wife had brought him and shared some with the people on duty.
Everyone who ate the dry rations that Wen Qiao brought said they were delicious.
In early December, Shen Jichuan personally patrolled for the last time while on duty.
The snow has not yet melted, and another heavy snow is on the way.
When Shen Jichuan led his men on patrol, he cautiously brought along some dried beef and mutton that Wen Qiao had prepared for him.
The planned week-long border patrol was disrupted when the heavy snow forecast turned into a blizzard.
The patrol team was trapped in the snow and could hardly move.
Seven days later, they had not left the patrolled border line and had lost their way.
After seven days' worth of food was consumed, the people around them gradually lost their strength.
Shen Jichuan distributed the dried meat he had on him to everyone.
"Sir, do you have any left? Don't just give them to us, keep some for yourself too."
Looking at the dried meat handed over by Deputy Division Commander Shen, Deputy Company Commander Zhou asked a question out of concern.
Shen Jichuan: "I still have others, don't worry about me."
"You guys eat something first and rest where you are. I'll walk a bit further..."
"Sir, no, it's too dangerous for you to go by yourself."
Deputy Company Commander Zhou looked at the snow falling heavily. The two of them stood face to face, unable to see each other's faces clearly.
The heavy snowfall looked like someone was scattering flour on the Tianshan Mountains.
Such solo actions would be very dangerous.
Shen Jichuan said, "I have more experience than you. I remember last time there was a signal tower around this area at the eight o'clock position."
Shen Jichuan was thinking of finding a signal tower where they could take shelter from the wind and snow; otherwise, if they stayed in this place any longer, they would freeze to death.
