Baiyun stayed in the family compound for two days.
She has a lively personality and gets along well with most of the military families in the compound.
While Guan Wenru was at work, she would chat with Guan Wanxin and the unemployed military dependents in the compound.
The military families also liked her very much.
Two days later, she had to return to the production brigade.
Guan Wenru took out ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of flour from her spatial storage.
She also took out the frozen meat that Aunt Zhuoma had brought earlier, as well as thirty pieces of beef jerky with the packaging torn off.
Seeing so much stuff, Baiyun was shocked. "Sister Lantian, I don't want these. You keep them for yourselves. Mom, Dad, and my brother probably realized something was going to happen, so they left a lot of food and meat coupons at home. I brought them all. I'll buy them myself when the time comes."
Guan Wenru forcefully stuffed the food into the basket, saying, "Xiaoyun, listen to me. Until things change, I'll take care of your food. Keep these food and meat coupons you have on you for now, and we'll find a way to send them to your brother later."
“Remember this, I have plenty of food, enough for us to eat for many years. I will give it to you every month, but you can only know this. Don’t tell anyone, including Xiaoni.”
“If the Che family asks, just say that your parents and brother gave you all the grain and meat coupons, and then you let me be responsible for buying grain and meat.”
“It’s too conspicuous for the brigade to only eat refined grains. I can only give you this much each month. Just tell the Che family that you don’t have enough refined grains and ask them if they agree to exchange some refined grains for some coarse grains.”
"After they agree, you can then suggest that you share the meals with them. You will be responsible for providing the high-quality grains and meat each month, and they can decide how to cook them."
"They'll feel like they're taking advantage of you and definitely won't agree. So, use your charm and say you can't cook and will waste food."
"If they still don't agree, cook a meal and deliberately burn the rice. These days everyone cherishes food, and they'll agree then."
"Once they agree, when I give you food next month, I will add five catties of rice and five catties of flour, which can be considered as helping their family improve their meals in a roundabout way."
"The Che family are good people, but you can't be too careful. In short, you must never tell them that I have food."
Seeing her serious expression, Baiyun nodded solemnly, "Okay, I understand."
She didn't dare ask her sister where the grain came from.
After giving Baiyun her instructions, Guan Wenru escorted her back to the production brigade.
Because Baiyun lacks medical knowledge, she cannot treat patients or go into the mountains to find medicine like Xi Mufan.
So Che Xiaoni taught her to ride a horse. She needed to learn to ride a horse before she could herd livestock.
......
The days passed peacefully for a few days.
On this day, He Yanzhi finally returned from his mission.
His military uniform was covered in the dust of his journey, and a thick layer of dark blue-black tinged his eyes.
As soon as he pushed open the door, Guan Wanxin, who was sitting on the kang reading a book, looked up at the sound. When she saw that it was him, her eyes curved into a smile. "Yanzhi, you're finally back!"
She put down her book, got off the kang (heated brick bed), put on her shoes, and went to pour him a cup of hot water. "You've been gone for a long time this time, you must be exhausted."
"Grandma, I'm not tired, you don't need to bother."
Guan Wanxin still insisted on pouring him a glass of water, saying, "You've lost some weight."
He Yanzhi felt a warmth in his heart. "It's alright."
He hung up his coat. "By the way, Grandma, has Comrade Baiyun been settled in?"
"Okay, she said she wanted to stay at the production brigade so it would be convenient for her to go to work, and she's already staying at the brigade leader's house."
"That's fine too."
Guan Wanxin handed him the water glass. "Wenru should be back for lunch soon. Let's wait for her. You can wash up and rest for a while."
The main problem is that there aren't many vegetables in the kitchen.
We can only wait for our granddaughter to come back.
He Yanzhi nodded. "Thank you, Grandma."
He took a sip of water, then went inside to get a change of clothes.
Guan Wanxin watched his retreating figure, and really wanted to ask him where the savior he had been looking for was now.
He planned how to help that person.
But then she swallowed her words.
Well, let the young people handle their own affairs.
......
He Yanzhi walked into the room and, as usual, placed his bag under the corner of the table.
He looked up and saw a piece of paper on the table with words on it.
The first thing that catches the eye is the large text that reads 'Divorce Statement'.
Upon seeing these words, his heart tightened and his brows furrowed.
He quickly reached out and picked up the paper on the table.
In just a moment, his pupils suddenly contracted!
The fingers gripping the edge of the paper tightened suddenly!
What he found unbelievable was not the divorce itself, but the handwriting!
He recognized the handwriting all too well!
Isn't this the character for 'blue sky'?
A thought flashed through his mind, and he took a step and rushed out.
He wanted to ask Grandma Guan if Guan Wenru had any other names!
Just then, Guan Wenru pushed open the door and entered.
He Yanzhi was holding the divorce statement in his hand, and he was very emotional.
She raised an eyebrow, feigning composure, "You're back. Let's talk about everything after lunch."
