Chapter 95 Poisoning
This dinner was a heavy one, without a single laugh at all.
Jiang Cha and Ye Surong's eyes and noses were red, and Huo Tingkun was silent.
Huo Jingye, contrary to his usual behavior, kept passing Jiang Cha over to pick up food for Huo Jingchuan.
Huo Jingchuan actually laughed.
"What are you all doing? It's not like I won't be coming back."
"Pfft, pfft, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Jiang Cha turned his face away and said, "Quick, smack him three times and stop talking nonsense."
She couldn't bear to hear such words.
Huo Jingchuan responded by spatting three times.
Ye Surong couldn't eat, so she turned and went to the kitchen.
Huo Tingkun picked up a piece of braised pork with fat and lean strips for Huo Jingchuan. "Jingchuan, we are soldiers. Obeying orders is a soldier's duty. As long as the Party and the people need us, no matter who we are, we must rush to the front line without hesitation. After so many years, you should understand this principle."
In the past, in the Huo family, no matter who went on a mission, it was commonplace. The Huo family's three fathers and sons had long been accustomed to such separations and reunions.
But Ye Surong and Jiang Cha had no way to adapt to this.
"I know, Dad. I will definitely complete the mission and live up to the organization's trust in me."
Huo Jingchuan was the candidate chosen by Ji Chongshan after careful consideration.
He had a difficult choice between Huo Jingchuan and Cen Yu.
The last rally was one of the assessment items.
Huo Jingchuan is a top-notch figure in the Chuncheng Military Region in terms of personal ability, team leadership, and collaboration.
Even though Huo Tingkun was reluctant, after comprehensive consideration, Huo Jingchuan was indeed the best candidate to complete this task.
"I'm glad you understand. Go talk to your Aunt Ye and say goodbye. She's feeling very upset."
Huo Tingkun patted Huo Jingchuan on the shoulder.
Huo Jingchuan nodded and said "hmm".
The conversation in the kitchen was quiet. Jiang Cha lowered her eyelids, still thinking about what to prepare to bring to Huo Jingchuan.
Food, clothing and daily necessities are basically all prepared.
She also packed all kinds of medicines for him.
It seems that there is really nothing left.
All of Huo Jingchuan's things were piled up in the living room.
Two years had passed, and besides being worried, Jiang Cha also felt reluctant to leave.
It's like a chronic poison that travels through every vein. At first, the effect is minimal, but towards the end, the stronger and more domineering the effect becomes.
What Jiang Cha didn't know was that Huo Jingchuan also took something away.
A photo of her.
This was a photo taken by Ye Surong with her camera when she was dancing during the school's National Day performance last year.
The black and white photo doesn't show the beautiful color of the dance dress.
But she tied her long hair up high into a flower bud, revealing the perfect shoulder and neck lines, a face that could catch people's hearts at first glance, and a pair of bright and flowing eyes, looking at the audience with a smile, all of which were clearly revealed in this photo.
Huo Jingchuan saw this photo in the album under the coffee table in the living room on the first floor of the Ye family's house on the night when he was helping to pack up the things there.
Even he himself didn't know what was going on in his mind at the time, but for some unknown reason, he stuffed the photo into his pocket.
Before getting in the car, Jiang Cha only said four words to him, "Brother, take care."
As soon as Huo Jingchuan left, Jiang Cha felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
It's not just her, it seems like everyone in the Huo family is weird.
There is one person missing at the dinner table, and it feels like the food is not even enjoyable.
Jiang Cha was lost in thought. Only by keeping herself busy could she control herself for a short time and stop thinking about Huo Jingchuan.
So Jiang Cha filled his days with activities.
I get up at 5:30 in the morning, do an hour's morning run, come back at 6:30 to wash up, have breakfast, and go to work at 7:30.
After get off work, I read books, study on my own, and make use of every minute and every second.
Every Saturday, I go out on time to see Zhang Keda.
Sometimes he would be with Zhang Keda, and sometimes Qin Sang would happen to be taking a break, and the three of them would stay together to take care of the herbs.
The days passed one by one, and it was the peaceful and warm life she had imagined, but there was always something that seemed different.
With each autumn rain comes a chill. From late summer to early autumn, the seasons change and the infirmary has been extremely busy recently.
Many people catch colds during the change of seasons, so Jiang Cha is busy from morning to night and has no time to rest.
Ever since learning that Hou Liping had a serious heart disease, Jiang Cha took on most of the work in the infirmary.
The empty heart is filled with new life in the busy day after day.
On New Year's Day, Jiang Cha received the first letter sent back by Huo Jingchuan.
The letter was sent directly to the art troupe's medical room, not the family quarters.
On the cover, there are four familiar characters "Written by Jiang Cha", which makes Jiang Cha feel as if he is from another world.
Jiang Cha had just locked the door of the infirmary, and before she could open the envelope, Huo Jingye came trotting over to pick her up from get off work.
Maybe out of guilt or something, Jiang Cha stuffed the letter into his bag.
Huo Jingye ran towards Jiang Cha with a happy look on his face.
"Cha Cha, my brother sent a letter back. Let's go home and read it."
"Did big brother send a letter home?"
Jiang Cha felt even more guilty.
So, in addition to writing a letter to his family, Huo Jingchuan also wrote a letter to her separately?
"Yes, there's a big package too. I heard it's a specialty from the Great Northern Wilderness. It's probably delicious."
When talking about food, Huo Jingye became happy, as happy as when he received a letter from Huo Jingchuan.
The weather is getting colder and it gets dark earlier.
It was already dark when they got home.
When the weather gets cold, almost no one eats or enjoys the cool air in the yard.
Jiang Cha's jet-black hair was braided into a side braid, and the pink scarf that Huo Jingchuan gave her was inserted into her jet-black hair and braided together with her long hair.
The pink color matched her skin tone surprisingly well. When Huo Jingchuan was at home, Jiang Cha never wore this ribbon. But now that he was not at home, Jiang Cha saw Tiandi wearing it.
Jiang Cha couldn't explain why she felt this way, but when she wore the silk scarf given by Huo Jingchuan, she felt at ease.
The tail of the ribbon was blown by the winter wind onto Jiang Cha's fair face. Jiang Cha lowered her head and looked at the corner of the envelope sticking out of her bag. Her heart, which had been silent for two months, came back to life the moment she received the letter.
When he got home, the first thing Huo Jingye did was to unpack the package.
The package was not big. Huo Jingye opened it and saw two cloth bags.
He opened one bag, and it was filled with sorghum seeds. He opened the other bag, and it was also filled with sorghum seeds.
Huo Jingye said, "Huh?" "Why did my brother go to so much trouble to send back two bags of sorghum? This stuff doesn't taste good."
Huo Tingkun rolled his eyes at him and tied up the two sorghum bags again. "I'm useful, but you just eat all day long."
Huo Jingye's good mood suddenly disappeared.
He thought that Huo Jingchuan had sent him some delicious food?
After a long time, I found out that it was sent to Lao Huo.
Huo Tingkun and Ye Surong have finished reading the letter.
Jiang Cha picked up the letter on the coffee table and read it.
It's just an ordinary letter to report safety, nothing special.
Jiang Cha returned to her room and opened the letter that Huo Jingchuan wrote to her alone.
Still... empty?
Jiang Cha put the letter on the desk, feeling both amused and helpless.
This man definitely did it on purpose.
Bring back an empty letter to disturb her mind.
Same as last time.
Jiang Cha picked up the pen, organized his words, and wrote on the blank piece of letter paper.
My brother Jingchuan, I am happy to see your letter.
Since you left, everything at home is the same as before. My parents are in good health, and my second brother is still addicted to food and drink after work. When I chatted with him two days ago, he actually said that he wanted to be a chef.
I wonder if everything is okay with you out there?
I wish my brother to have enough food to eat, wear warm clothes, take care of himself, and stay safe and healthy.
Ginger tea handwritten.
After writing the letter, Jiang Cha found an empty envelope and stuffed the letter into it.
The letter was not long. She mentioned everyone in her family except herself.
She clearly had a thousand words to say, but when she picked up the pen, not a single word could be put on paper.
Ginger tea removed the sealing wax, melted it with a candle, and dripped it onto the seal of the envelope. She then used her own seal to stamp it, covering the sealing wax that had not yet cooled and solidified.
When the seal was removed, a camellia flower appeared vividly on the envelope.
"But...should I send it?"
Jiang Cha began to hesitate again.
"I've already written it, I'll send it tomorrow!"
Jiang Cha had just put the letter into her bag when someone knocked on the door.
"Chacha, Chacha, please come out quickly! That little girl Xiaocao is dying!"
What do you mean it’s no use?
As soon as Jiang Cha opened the door, she saw He Meishan jumping anxiously at the door of her room.
"Aunt He, don't worry, tell me quickly, what happened to Xiaocao?"
Jiang Cha didn't even have time to take his coat and went out wearing only a thin dacron shirt.
The courtyard was full of people.
Huo Tingkun carried the two bags of sorghum to Chief Ji's house. Ye Surong asked the onlookers outside to disperse and stand further away to facilitate air circulation.
"Hurry, hurry, everyone, make way for her. Chacha is here, let her see."
The crowd spontaneously made way for a path. Jiang Cha walked over quickly and saw the little girl sleeping on the ground with a blue face.
Jiang Cha rushed to Wu Xiaocao. She first flipped Wu Xiaocao's eyelids, then checked her breathing, and finally took Wu Xiaocao's pulse.
The noisy crowd quieted down instantly. After Ye Surong persuaded the crowd to move to a certain area, she squatted beside Jiang Cha.
"Chacha, how is she?"
"What did she eat?"
Jiang Cha looked up and looked around the crowd, but didn't see Wu Xiaocao's family for a long time.
"Where are her family members? Help me find her family members."
Jiang Cha frowned and growled.
"Mom, go get some water! She's eaten something she shouldn't have. She's got food poisoning. We need to make her vomit."
Ye Surong hurried into the house to get some water.
Huo Jingye had just come out of the shower and saw a large group of people outside. He was about to rub his underwear, but he immediately put his dirty underwear into his pocket.
"What's going on?"
