The weather was getting colder, and snow was falling in Wangdong City, ushering in the twelfth lunar month. During the twelfth lunar month, many locals would pickle bacon at home.
With her grandfather gone, Song Ci could no longer eat bacon and sausages. She asked someone to buy some bacon and asked a maid to invite her aunt from the countryside to help pickle it.
On the day of Great Cold, Han Zhan returned.
It snowed heavily that day, blanketing the streets of Wangdong City with a blanket of white. Traffic dwindled, and sanitation workers and volunteers spread salt on the ground and busied themselves with shovels, clearing the accumulated snow.
When Song Ci heard that Han Zhan was coming back, she flew to Wanyu County alone by helicopter. When she arrived at the base, Han Zhan and his team were still five minutes away from the ground.
Song Ci stood with the staff, and behind him stood several reporters holding cameras.
Zeus 1 landed smoothly at the designated location, and the crew immediately ran up to open the door of the spacecraft. The two astronauts were the first to step out.
After being in a state of weightlessness for a long time, their walking posture is quite strange.
Following behind the astronauts was Chief Engineer Chen Gang, with Han Zhan walking at the rear. Han Zhan's sense of weightlessness was less pronounced than theirs, and as he descended the stairs, he stood perfectly straight, holding onto the railing with only one hand.
Seeing Song Ci in front of him in the crowd, Han Zhan took off his helmet and gave her a reassuring smile.
"I'm back!" he said in spoken language.
Song Ci didn't care if anyone was watching, she rushed over and hugged Han Zhan fiercely. After being hit by Song Ci, Han Zhan couldn't stand steadily and fell to the ground with her.
Fortunately, the staff had made preparations and anticipated that the astronauts would be in a state of weightlessness, so they laid a soft carpet on the ground.
Han Zhan fell to the ground, hugging Song Ci, "It's okay, I'm back."
Song Ci lay in his arms, crying with joy.
"Han Zhan, Han Zhan, Han Zhan!" Song Ci was so excited that he was incoherent and just kept shouting Han Zhan's name over and over again.
Feeling Song Ci's dependence and attachment to him, Han Zhan felt soft in his heart. He touched Song Ci's hair and wanted to kiss her, but he felt that the space suit on his body was in the way.
"Let me change my clothes first."
"Okay, I brought you some clothes."
Han Zhan entered the locker room with Song Ci's help. He was somewhat embarrassed when he took off his clothes. Han Zhan reminded Song Ci: "I haven't showered for a few days, so I might have some body odor."
It is very inconvenient to take a shower in space. People usually just wipe their bodies and only take a shower once every few days.
And taking a shower is also a luxury.
How could Song Ci dislike Han Zhan's stench? She said, "It's okay. I'll give you a bath myself later."
"...good."
Song Ci didn't mind that she smelled bad, so Han Zhan changed his clothes without hesitation.
Song Ci gave him a set of thermal underwear, a sweater, and a down jacket. After changing his clothes, Han Zhan sat obediently in a chair, rubbing his legs. He had lost some weight, and his body looked thin under the down jacket.
"I'm a little unsteady when I walk." Han Zhan rubbed his legs and teased himself, "Does it look like I have Alzheimer's?"
"It's only temporary, not as exaggerated as you say." Song Ci turned around and closed the door, then took out a cloth bag from her backpack.
There must be something in the bag, it looked quite large. Han Zhan asked curiously, "What's in your bag?"
"Baby."
Song Ci took the treasure out of the cloth bag, and Han Zhan realized that it was a food box with three layers.
Song Ci opened the lid of the food box, and Han Zhan was immediately greeted by a delicious aroma. "Stir-fried pork with chili peppers, dry pot pork intestines, and mushroom soup. Brother Han, eat quickly."
These days, the image of Han Zhan sitting in the spaceship, frowning and asking for fried meat, always appeared in Song Ci's dreams. So when she learned that Han Zhan would be back this afternoon, Song Ci had the chef prepare the food early, packed it in an insulated lunch box, and flew a helicopter to pick up Han Zhan.
Han Zhan was somewhat touched.
He stared at the dishes, acted coquettishly, and said to Song Ci, "I want you to feed me."
Song Ci hesitated for a moment, then picked up the rice spoon and fed Han Zhan one spoonful at a time.
"Is it in here?" Li Li and Bei Zhan came to the outside of the locker room accompanied by staff.
"Mr. Han is in here."
Li Li reached out to open the door.
Bei Zhan, however, held Li Li's hand tightly and said, "Aren't you afraid of disturbing others' good things and seeing things they shouldn't see?"
Li Li snorted and said, "Mr. Han just came back. It's hard for him to walk right now. How can he do anything?"
Bei Zhan felt that what Li Li said made sense, so he stopped trying to stop him. Li Li opened the door, and the two brothers looked up to see Song Ci feeding Han Zhan, saying, "Ah."
Han Zhan opened his mouth, "Ah..."
Li Li and Bei Zhan were both stunned.
Li Li: "I'm sorry, we came at the wrong time."
Li Li quickly closed the door and walked out of the locker room with Bei Zhan. The two brothers looked at each other, and Li Li said with a complicated tone, "I would rather open the door and see them kissing and hugging than see such an eye-catching scene."
He's already a 35-year-old man, but he still needs to be fed when he eats. It would be fine if he just wants to be fed, but he also has to make "ah" sounds!
Is it a person?
Bei Zhan's expression was also complicated.
I didn't realize that Mr. Han looked like this in front of Song Ci.
It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover.
Inside the room, Han Zhan and Song Ci stared at each other. Han Zhan said, "I have absolutely no place to put my face."
