"Here you go, child. This is a little something from your grandma. It's cold in the mountains, so buy yourself something you like to eat. Don't deprive yourself. Qin Ye is a careless boy, so you need to take good care of yourself."
Su Tang opened the handkerchief and saw a thick stack of brand-new 100-yuan notes inside, worth at least one or two hundred yuan.
In this day and age, that's a considerable sum of money.
"Grandma, this is too much, I can't accept it," Su Tang quickly declined.
"Take it! You must take it!" Grandma Qin said sternly, but her eyes were full of love. "If you don't take it, it means you're still angry with Grandma!"
Su Tang knew that the old lady was sincere, and it would seem pretentious to refuse again.
Her heart warmed, and she solemnly accepted the gift: "Thank you, Grandma. I will definitely take good care of myself and Qin Ye."
"That's right!" Grandma Qin finally smiled.
The night before departure.
Under the oil lamp in the courtyard, Qin Ye was carefully checking Su Tang's backpack.
He took everything out and put it all back in, afraid of forgetting anything.
"This water bottle should be hung outside so it's convenient to drink water."
"This thick sweater must be placed on top, so that you can put it on immediately if you get cold."
"And this flashlight, I've prepared two extra batteries for you."
As he tidied up, he kept nagging and giving instructions on various precautions, just like a worried old father.
Su Tang sat on a small stool, propping her chin up, looking at his serious profile.
Under the light, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his eyes focused and gentle.
Su Tang's heart softened instantly.
She suddenly stood up, leaned over, and gently kissed him on the cheek.
"Pop!"
The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
Qin Ye's body stiffened abruptly, and his hands stopped moving.
He could feel the soft, warm touch on his cheek, and the faint fragrance emanating from Su Tang.
A wave of heat quickly spread from my cheeks to my ears.
"Tang, Tangtang, you..."
Looking at his innocent yet embarrassed appearance, Su Tang couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes curving like the crescent moon in the sky.
"This is a reward for you, Commander Qin." She winked playfully. "Thank you for your outstanding logistical support for this honeymoon trip."
Qin Ye cleared his throat, trying to hide his embarrassment, but found his heart pounding wildly.
Qin Ye kept his head down and continued to pack his backpack, but his movements were clearly somewhat disorganized.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.
Qin Ye borrowed a military jeep from the regiment.
It was a slightly worn BJ212, painted in the distinctive grass green of the military, looking sturdy and durable.
He loaded all his bags and luggage onto the car and carefully secured them.
Su Tang also changed into a set of light clothes, and her hair was neatly tied back.
"Wife, get in the car." Qin Ye opened the passenger door.
The sunlight shining on him made him appear even more heroic and extraordinary.
Su Tang hopped lightly into the car.
Qin Ye started the jeep, and the engine emitted a deep, powerful roar.
"Hold on tight, honey, let's go!"
