The next morning, before daybreak, the Shen's house was already brightly lit.
Everyone got up, and grandma took out a bundle and handed it to Zhan Xinyue: "Xinyue, there are six pairs of cloth shoes in it. You and Tunan can each get a pair. Wear them when you are at home to keep your feet healthy."
"Thank you, grandma." Zhan Xinyue hugged the old lady, "You should take care of your eyes in the future and don't make cloth shoes anymore. Six pairs are enough for us."
"Okay, I'll listen to Xinyue." Grandma Sheng's eyes were moist, "You and Tunan will be fine."
Shen Fuyao came out with a stack of books: "Sister-in-law, there is no TV on the island. Here are some books I bought for you. There are all kinds of books. I'll bring them to you to relieve your boredom."
After Shen Fuyao finished speaking, he handed the book to Shen Zhixian and said, "Help my sister-in-law move it to the car."
"Oh." Shen Zhixian was still half asleep, he yawned, took the book and went out.
Shen Zhiyan took out a bottle of Maotai and gave one to each of the brothers: "I asked someone to buy this with great difficulty. When you drink water, remember the well digger. When you drink, remember your youngest. As the older brothers, when you drink, don't just think about having fun. Don't be ungrateful and forget me, your younger brother."
"Well, you will always be in our hearts." Shen Zhixian came in from the side and jumped to grab the Maotai from his twin brother's mouth. He said with a chuckle.
"Tsk, how could I give birth to two of you?" Dong Wushuang came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron, with dark circles under his eyes. "I'll make some dumplings for you guys to eat before you go out."
His sons all have big appetites, so Dong Wushuang works almost the entire night to prepare enough food for the whole family.
The dumplings were cooked and everyone came to the table. The table was already laid out, with the essential sauce for dumplings and some cold vegetables.
Everyone ate the farewell dinner with some sadness, and the atmosphere was very silent.
After eating the dumplings, Dong Wushuang packed a few cooked eggs, white flour steamed buns, dried vegetables, basil, peaches and ginger for them to eat on the way.
Dong Wushuang knew that this mission was difficult and he might not be able to go home for a year or two. He took the four children with him and told them to help each other and take care of their health.
Even if you are reluctant, it is time to part.
Several people got in the car, said goodbye to their relatives, and rushed to the troops, carrying their families' thoughts and a trunk full of gifts, to devote themselves to the great cause of building the country.
Shen Peifeng and Shen Zhixian had not had a good rest these days, so Sheng Tunan drove and Zhan Xinyue sat as the co-pilot, letting the two younger brothers have a good rest in the back seat.
We drove to the outskirts of Beijing and passed by the execution ground.
Sheng Tunan suddenly said, "Xinyue, today is the day when Qu Hui and his son are executed. Calculating the time, it should have officially started now. Do you want to go and see it?"
Zhan Xinyue laughed, closed her eyes and shook her head, "I won't go, to avoid the bad luck of seeing a dead person."
She wasn't superstitious, but there was no need to go out of her way to watch two unrelated people die.
These two, father and son, betrayed Sheng Tunan, collaborated with the enemy and sold out the country; they deserved death.
I just don't know if Qu Hui, who was tied up and taken to the execution ground, would regret it?
He regretted that he had promoted 깊 and abandoned the person he loved, which caused his son to hold a grudge and ultimately harmed 깊 and his son.
Without any spies, nothing happened along the way and we arrived at Huanyu Island very smoothly.
Sheng Tunan didn't like to be high profile, so he didn't notify us in advance of his return. Therefore, when the ferry docked, no one came to pick him up.
Sheng Tunan drove to the courtyard where he used to live.
The wind on the island is strong. With four of us in a car, we couldn't help but sigh that it is much cooler here than in Beijing.
"Peifeng, Zhixian, this is our old yard, you two can live here." Sheng Tunan opened the door. He showed Zhan Xinyue the building where Brigadier General Li used to live.
I haven't been back for more than a month. The hydrangeas in the yard are in full bloom, and the trumpet creepers have climbed up the wall, each one blooming particularly beautifully.
Zhan Xinyue looked at the yard and saw only flowers but no weeds. She knew it was all thanks to Aunt Xu who often came to take care of it.
The two men moved the items from the car into the car, Zhan Xinyue went into the house to pack the bedding and clothes, Sheng Tunan moved the things into the house, and took the bag that his wife had packed into the car.
"Hey, Xinyue, aren't you guys coming back?" Aunt Xu's surprised voice came from the courtyard gate.
Zhan Xinyue put down the work inside and went out with a smile.
"Aunt Xu, love me."
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Aunt Xu pulled Xinyue's body and looked at her again and again, her eyes shining as she said, "Grow fatter and you'll be prettier. You've also taken good care of your body to make it smooth and tender."
"Oh," Aunt Xu smiled and approached Zhan Xinyue, "If you marry the right person, you will enjoy life without any hard work, and you will become more and more beautiful."
Zhan Xinyue smiled and replied: "I haven't seen you for more than a month. Aunt Xu looks like she is years younger."
Since the last performance, Xu's husband has paid more attention to her than before. He would accompany her for a walk every day, and the couple often communicated in various aspects. The young woman felt more nourished, like a reborn second spring.
"Xinyue, please don't make fun of me." Xu Jinling smiled. I don't know what she was thinking about, and suddenly she said with anger on her face,
"I'm so angry that Yan Moli was released and even engaged to Director Niu's son. Bah, a person who slandered Director Sheng can actually live a good life. It makes me angry just thinking about it."
