Chapter 177: Inexplicably Nervous
Hearing Zhong Xuexi's voice, she closed her eyes obediently.
Zhong Xuexi exhaled, "Sister-in-law, I'll take care of the rest. You go read my brother's letter."
Lin Ziqiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." She turned around and picked up the coat that Ruan Qing had been wearing. There was indeed a letter in the inner pocket.
Originally, this letter was placed together with the letter Meng Zhiwei wrote to Shen Xiu. However, Shen Xiu left in a hurry and forgot to give it to Lin Ziqiu.
When Ruan Qing left the Huang family, Shen Xiu asked her to pass the letter to Lin Ziqiu.
As a result, she met Ruan Cui and her son on the road, and after a lot of trouble, she forgot about the matter.
Lin Ziqiu held the envelope, feeling inexplicably nervous.
She didn't know what Zhong Heyang's current situation was. Huang Bin's matter had always bothered her, and she was afraid that Zhong Heyang might be in danger.
The current plot has changed a lot from the original plot.
Even though Zhong Heyang made great contributions in this incident and was safe and sound in the previous life, it does not mean that things will develop in the same way in this life.
"Sister-in-law, what did my brother write in the letter?"
Zhong Xuexi's voice came from behind, and Lin Ziqiu withdrew his thoughts.
When I opened the letter, his powerful handwriting came into view:
"I am very grateful for your kindness."
"I really envy these words, they can cross thousands of miles of ice and see you on my behalf."
“…”
Endless thoughts are expressed on paper.
In her previous life, when she was an educated youth sent to the countryside, she envied others for receiving letters from their parents. She waited with hope many times, but never received the one that belonged to her.
Now, she finally received a letter from her.
It is a family letter, but also a love letter filled with longing and love.
Lin Ziqiu's eyes were filled with tears of emotion. With a slight blink, strings of crystal tears slid down, sparkling like pearls.
Her grip on the letter tightened little by little. Her heart, which had been tense all these days, finally relaxed after learning that he was safe and sound.
Zhong Xuexi had also finished applying the alcohol by now, and walked to her side curiously, "Sister-in-law, why are you crying? Is there something wrong with my brother?"
Lin Ziqiu quickly raised her hand and wiped away her tears. "No, no, I just got sand in my eyes."
Zhong Xuexi was skeptical, "What did my brother write? Let me see!"
Lin Ziqiu was reluctant to give him the letter because the words in it were too corny. She was too embarrassed to show it to her sister-in-law, as she would definitely laugh at her.
"Nothing much, just asking about the family situation. I'll go write him a letter, you stay here and look after Qing."
She hurriedly stood up and held her heart in her palm like a treasure, not wanting anyone else to touch it.
Zhong Xuexi muttered quietly, "Why didn't you show it to me when you asked about my family's situation? It's not a love letter..."
After she finished speaking, she seemed to realize something serious. Her eyes suddenly shrank, and she covered her mouth and muttered to herself, "Could it be a love letter?"
She would never have believed that a man as aloof as her brother would actually write a love letter! !
Miracle.
···
Lin Ziqiu returned to his room and picked and chose from the warehouse, trying to find a better-looking piece of stationery, and then took out a fine and expensive fountain pen.
For fear of making spelling mistakes, she even took some draft paper to practice writing.
I haven't written seriously for a long time. When I think about how neat Zhong Heyang's handwriting is, it doesn't look like it can be written by a rough soldier.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if my handwriting was terrible?
Lin Ziqiu practiced for a long time before she regained her original feeling, but when she put pen to paper, she felt like she had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start.
If I wasn't satisfied with one, I would tear it up and write again.
After going back and forth many times, she finally decided to just write about the current situation at home. When she reached the end, she thought of what Zhong Heyang asked her in the letter.
"Will you blame me for not being there for you?"
Lin Ziqiu lowered his eyes and wrote a paragraph at the end:
"You belong not only to me, but also to the motherland, so I am willing to give your protection to the motherland. I firmly believe that you will return to me safely."
“There are cracks in everything, and you are the way the light gets in.”
When he finished writing the last word, Lin Ziqiu felt a warm current flowing through his heart. It turned out that love could ignore time and companionship, and could endure countless lonely nights.
She firmly believed that Zhong Heyang would be loyal to her all his life.
She was his only wife.
After writing the letter, Lin Ziqiu ran out excitedly to find Zhong Xuexi to ask for a stamp to put on it.
As a result, Zhong Xuexi flicked her forehead and said, "Sister-in-law, are you confused? In this weather, you dare to go out to mail a letter? The post office won't accept it!"
Only then did Lin Ziqiu react.
Yes, in this special situation, even going out is a problem, let alone sending a letter.
She sighed, her eyes unable to hide the disappointment.
Zhong Xuexi saw her sadness and patted her on the back. "It's okay. When my brother comes back, you can read it to him in person. He will definitely be happier."
Read it to him?
When Lin Ziqiu thought of the words in her letter, her cheeks suddenly turned red and she was too shy to see anyone.
"Well...I'm a little hungry. I'll go downstairs to find something to eat."
Seeing her fleeing back, Zhong Xuexi felt a mixture of emotions. Before, she only thought that her brother cared a lot about Lin Ziqiu.
His kindness to Lin Ziqiu was not out of responsibility, but out of genuine love and protection for her.
And what about Lin Ziqiu?
She seldom expressed her feelings for her brother. She seemed to treat him as a husband with whom she lived together, and only wanted to treat him with respect and fulfill her duties as a wife.
Even when it comes to money, she would rather work hard to earn it herself than spend her brother's.
She was too polite and too reserved, giving people the feeling that she didn't want to owe the Zhong family anything.
But today, after reading her brother's letter, although she didn't know what the content was, she cried and felt sad and disappointed when she knew that the reply to her brother could not be sent.
This is enough to prove that she has feelings for her brother.
Zhong Xuexi breathed a sigh of relief, but when she turned around and saw Ruan Qing lying on the bed, she couldn't help but frown.
I hope Ruan Qing can truly let go of his obsession with his brother.
To find her own happiness.
···
That night, physical cooling took effect and Ruan Qing's fever finally subsided.
For half a month, the rain became heavier day by day, and it came with such force that it seemed as if it would swallow up the entire city.
Some neighbors came to borrow rice. Lin Ziqiu was not a stingy person, so he asked Zhong Zhiyang and Tian Xiaofeng to set up a ladder and deliver the rice from the roof.
The news spread from one family to another, and it was confirmed that no one was starving to death in the entire military compound.
But there are more and more collapsed places outside, not only here, but also in several other provinces, heavy rains have occurred, seriously affecting people's normal lives.
The number of people freezing to death or starving to death outside was increasing every day. At the military compound, everyone was also busy. Some people ran in the heavy rain to deliver letters, saying that they had food and could provide some support.
