The boat docked and several people boarded one after another, with Zhao Fangrui being the last one on board.
"Mom, there are boiled eggs and pancakes in the bag for you to eat on the way. A few apples have been washed, and there are also some peach cakes and glutinous rice noodles to fill your stomach when you are hungry. There is also a bottle of water for motion sickness in it. If you feel uncomfortable, just apply some..." Cheng Zhenzhu looked at Zhao Fangrui with red eyes, and felt uncomfortable in her heart.
These days, she really has developed feelings for him. Her parents died when she was young, and she and her sister depended on each other for survival. She never expected that she could still gain family affection in another time and space.
Zhao Fangrui looked at the things in the bag, her heart aching, "Silly child, I was wondering what you were doing in the kitchen so early today. I bought these apples specially for you to eat, why did you take them back again..." Zhao Fangrui is usually free and easy, but when she gets emotional, her eyes are blurred with tears.
"Take it." Cheng Zhenzhu stuffed it in with a domineering attitude.
"Hurry up and get on the boat!" someone on the boat shouted.
"Right away." Cheng Fugui replied. "Okay, old lady, let's go. We'll have a chance to see each other again this year."
"Pearl, let's go." Zhao Fangrui took a few steps with her things and looked back frequently.
"Yes." Cheng Zhenzhu nodded and called out, "Dad, Mom, Zhenbao, Xiaomei, sister, brother-in-law, have a safe trip."
"Good wind, good luck. Okay, you all can go back too..." Cheng Fugui stood on the boat holding Xiao Huzi and waved.
I said goodbye yesterday, and if I say it again today, I'm afraid I'll cry...
"Wuwuwu~" Peng Ertiao waved his hands numbly and burst into tears. "Little~Hu~Brother."
"Second brother!" Little Tiger stretched out his hand and cried loudly.
Peng Yitiao didn't cry, but he felt his nose was sore and he hummed twice. "Goodbye grandma and grandpa. Goodbye Xiaohu. Goodbye uncle and aunt..."
"Goodbye." Zhao Fangrui and the others watched the boat leave the shore, feeling empty in their hearts.
The boat gradually went away, and soon even its shadow could not be seen. Peng San Tiao, who had been leaning against his mother obediently, suddenly sobbed twice. "Naonao, Nao Ye, Brother Xiaofu..."
"They're all gone..." Peng Ertiao hugged his brother and burst into tears.
"It's gone, wuwu~" Sanjo cried and tried to push away Nijo who was secretly wiping tears on him.
"Wow~" Peng Yitiao was moved by emotions and burst into tears like a tough guy.
Liu Tiao, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up. His sleepy eyes were dazed and he saw his three brothers crying together, and he started to scream non-stop.
Cheng Zhenzhu listened to this sad quartet and squatted down to comfort several of them. "During summer vacation, we will go to play with grandma and grandpa, and then pick them up, okay?"
"Okay." Peng Ertiao stopped crying and nodded heavily.
"Hey." Peng Sandiao's eyes were filled with tears. He stretched out his little finger to hold his mother, and still remembered to press his thumb.
Peng Yitiao and Peng Ertiao also wanted to make a pinky promise. Liutiao wiped his eyes and grabbed it, not forgetting to join in the fun.
"Okay, pinky promise." Cheng Zhenzhu made a serious promise. After talking for a while, she wiped away all her tears.
"Let's go, let's go home too." Cheng Zhenzhu stood up.
"Mom~" Liu Tiao struggled to get down and walk.
Cheng Zhenzhu put the active little guy on the ground, and Liu Tiao immediately rushed forward, not stopping for a moment. However, his legs were still a little too short, and he took several unsteady steps before catching up with his mother...
Back home, Cheng Zhenzhu checked the time: it was only seven. Her family had left, and the house was mostly deserted. One, two, and a few others were lost in the sadness of parting, with little in the mood for fun. Only Six, as energetic as ever, ate a little and started calling "Guoguo" again.
Cheng Zhenzhu cut an apple into quarters, giving each of them a quarter. Six Tiao each grabbed a small piece and nibbled on it with a crunching sound. Cheng Zhenzhu left the room to clean up after the other two adults.
Since no one was living there, the mattress had to be taken out to dry, and the quilt cover had to be changed and washed. And the twelve-pound quilt her parents had brought her also had to be put away...
"Mom, I'm going to go play with Da Wa and the others." Two days later, the little ones were back to their usual lively self. Yi Tiao finished his homework for a while, then made plans to go out and play. He was even considerate enough to take Liu Tiao out with him so his mother could rest.
"Go play by yourself. Mom will take Liu Tiao to Aunt Yumei's house later." Cheng Zhenzhu refused to let Liu Tiao go. It would be a hassle to have a little kid playing with her, and to have a baby to hold, too. Playing should be free and unrestrained!
"Yeah, okay." Peng Yitiao nodded.
Seeing Yi Tiao go out to play, Er Tiao, as the younger brother, will naturally follow him unwaveringly. San Tiao doesn't have the habit of following his brother, so he can just pull up a small stool and sit next to his mother and play for the whole morning...
【——"Daily Life of a Military Marriage in the 1970s"——
February 20, 1970, was a special day. On this day, Lu Jiamu and Gu Xixi, on the basis of equality and voluntariness, established a long-term contractual relationship. They got married...
In the afternoon, Cheng Zhenzhu woke up and looked sideways at the long paragraph of text that suddenly appeared in front of her after a "ding" sound.
Although she had always known the hero and heroine would eventually marry, she had never imagined it would happen so soon. It had only been about three months since they first met. And from her memory, it seemed like they had only met once. Had Comrade Lu never been to Sanshi Island since then?
Today is February 17th, and the 20th is coming soon...
"Sister Pearl, are you home?"
Cheng Zhenzhu heard Gu Xixi's clear and pleasant voice, glanced at the long paragraph of text in front of her, opened the door and went out. "Little Gu Zhiqing, is there something wrong?"
Gu Xixi was beaming, her face flushed, as she took out a few packets of candy from the bag, "Sister-in-law Zhenzhu, this is for you."
"Is this wedding candy?" Cheng Zhenzhu was surprised. The text stated that the couple got their marriage certificate on the 20th, and the wedding was after the 20th, so why were they giving out wedding candy?
