After Gu Ye finished his meal in the cafeteria, he did not go back to the regiment headquarters with Political Commissar Tang, but went home.
Gu Ye was lost in thought the whole way and didn't notice that the people in the family compound were very surprised to see him and were exchanging eye contact with each other.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Gu Ye did not go in immediately. He stood there with his eyes lowered for a while before pushing the door open. The yard was quiet and there was no sign of Jiang Yue.
She wasn't in the room either.
The door was not locked, so Jiang Yue should not have gone far. Maybe she took Ningning to Mrs. Zhao's house.
Gu Ye returned to his room, took off his watch, and glanced at the desk where a dozen books were piled. The regiment had a general cleaning a while ago, so he brought back some books from the office and had no time to organize them.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Gu Ye picked up his watch from time to time to check the time. Ten minutes had passed, and Jiang Yue had not come back yet. Gu Ye was a little anxious.
Another five minutes passed and Gu Ye heard the sound of the door opening. His heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly took a few steps to the door of the main room. Then he slowed down and looked towards the courtyard gate.
However, it was not Jiang Yue who came back, but Ningning and Zhao Yuanqi.
"Dad, why are you back?" Ningning was surprised to see Gu Ye at home.
"Hello, Uncle Gu!" Zhao Yuanqi greeted Gu Ye and took Ningning to play in the sand.
When Gu Ye heard footsteps, he looked up towards the gate, and it was Zhao Cui who came in.
When Zhao Cui saw Gu Ye at home, she immediately said happily: "Uncle Gu, you are at home. My mother asked me to keep an eye on them. Since you are at home, I will go back to do my homework!"
Gu Ye saw Zhao Cui had left, so he went over to close the door and looked outside. There was no one else except Zhao Cui. He couldn't help but frowned and turned to ask Ning Ning, "Ning Ning, where is your mother?"
"Mom is not at home!" Ningning answered in a baby voice while making a little rabbit in the sand pit using the mold that Jiang Yue made for her.
"Where did she go? Did she leave after dinner?" Gu Ye asked again.
"No, my mother left in the morning. She said she was going to the county town and wouldn't be back for lunch." Ningning filled the mold with sand, turned it upside down and removed the mold, and a little rabbit head appeared vividly.
"Look at my big tiger!" Zhao Yuanqi uncovered the mold, and it really looked like a tiger.
Gu Ye frowned.

County town, Commercial Bureau.
"Who are you looking for, female comrade? Oh, Director He?" The gatekeeper of the Commercial Bureau was a man in his fifties. When he heard the beautiful girl in front of him say that she was looking for He Jingxuan, he couldn't help but lower his head and look at her a few more times over the top of his glasses.
"Wait a minute, I'll go call Director He for you!"
"Okay, thank you for your help!"
Jiang Yue was standing at the door of the Commerce Bureau, carrying her bag, looking at the two-story building. The west wall was covered with ivy, and the crowns of several large trees stretched out from behind the building.
The environment here is quite nice!
He Jingxuan had just finished lunch in the cafeteria and was about to go back to the office to write some materials when he heard the doorman, Old Wu, tell him that someone was looking for him, and it was a pretty girl. His first subconscious reaction was that maybe Jiang Yue came to see him.
Although he guessed that it might be Jiang Yue, when He Jingxuan saw the familiar beautiful figure from afar, his heart still beat uncontrollably.
"Jiang Yue!" He Jingxuan could hardly suppress his ecstasy at seeing Jiang Yue. He had to try very hard to make his expression look calm.
Jiang Yue was distracted. When she heard He Jingxuan's voice, she blinked, came to her senses, and saw He Jingxuan running towards her. She couldn't help but smile.
"How come you have time to come here today?" He Jingxuan looked at Jiang Yue, reluctant to take his eyes away.
"I need your help with something." Jiang Yue was actually a little embarrassed. She knew that He Jingxuan was interested in her, and she had been trying to avoid him before. He Jingxuan should have noticed it, so the two of them had hardly met each other recently.
"What's the matter? Tell me!" He Jingxuan said gently.
"Can you help me write a letter of introduction?" Jiang Yue hesitated for a moment, but still told He Jingxuan the purpose of her visit.
He Jingxuan was puzzled when he heard this, "Write a letter of introduction? What do you want to do?"
"I want to go back to my hometown and buy a train ticket!" Jiang Yue said.
There were no ID cards in those days, and you had to show a letter of introduction when buying train tickets or staying in a hotel. Usually the letter of introduction was issued by your workplace or the neighborhood committee where you lived.
Jiang Yue didn't have a job, and she and Gu Ye had come to this point, so it was naturally impossible for her to go to him again. So she thought of asking He Jingxuan for help.
"Oh, okay?" He Jingxuan agreed immediately.
Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows, a little surprised that He Jingxuan agreed so readily. She thought he would ask her why she didn't look for Gu Ye. She had thought of several reasons before coming, but he agreed without even asking?
"It's too hot, let's go to my office!" He Jingxuan couldn't help but smile when he saw Jiang Yue's surprise.
In fact, he really wanted Jiang Yue to know that if she could come to him for help, he would be willing to do anything for her.
He Jingxuan's office was on the second floor. When he brought Jiang Yue over, several people looked at him with ambiguous smiles, and someone asked, "Director He, who is this female comrade? Introduce her to us?"
"Friend!" He Jingxuan just smiled and said.
"Please sit down for a while. I'm the one who issues all the letters of introduction for our unit. I'll write it for you!" He Jingxuan pulled a chair over to Jiang Yue, took out the paper specially used for letters of introduction and started writing.
At this time, Jiang Yue suddenly said: "He Jingxuan, can you please not write my name?"
He Jingxuan paused while writing, raised his head and looked at Jiang Yue, with a hint of doubt in his pretty eyes, "Not writing your name?"
Jiang Yue pursed her lips and said, "Leave the address and name blank. Can I write it myself?"
He Jingxuan's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he remembered, but he still nodded, "Okay!"
After writing a letter of introduction, He Jingxuan took out the official seal from the drawer and stamped it on the seam.
After Jiang Yue got it, he looked at it again and again, and then made another request, "Can you write a few more for me?"
She quickly added, "I'm careless, I'm afraid I'll lose the only one!"
This time He Jingxuan did not agree immediately, but looked at Jiang Yue. In fact, when they first met today, he could tell that Jiang Yue was unhappy. Even when she was smiling, there was sadness in her eyes.
He Jingxuan couldn't help but ask: "Jiang Yue, is there something wrong?"
"No!" Seeing He Jingxuan's suspicion, Jiang Yue thought to herself that she shouldn't be too greedy. She folded the letter and put it away, saying, "Just one letter at a time! I won't lose it if I'm careful!"
However, He Jingxuan still wrote two more letters of introduction for Jiang Yue. After stamping them with the official seal, he handed the letters to Jiang Yue.
"Thank you so much!" Jiang Yue carefully waited for the writing and the official seal to dry before folding the two letters of introduction and putting them in her bag.
"Then I'm leaving!" Jiang Yue stood up, then remembered that there was one thing she hadn't said, so she said, "By the way, He Jingxuan, I have a favor to ask of you."
"You say!" He Jingxuan also stood up and prepared to send Jiang Yue out.
"I heard you're going to the Canton Fair in October, can you help me get a spot?"
