Li Qingyun slept for more than an hour, and despite her physical fatigue, she got up and prepared to make breakfast for the dog man.
Last night she saved some mutton offal and a piece of mutton, and prepared to make him a pot of mutton and carrot soup early in the morning. After drinking it, he felt warm and set off to catch the train.
Gu Tingzhou pulled her back into bed.
"You worked hard last night, I'll do it myself." He leaned over to her ear, his voice in the morning was somewhat magnetic, and her ears were about to get pregnant. Damn man, his voice was quite nice.
Someone who finally got to eat meat got up energetically, put on his coat, and went to the kitchen to cook.
Li Qingyun was so tired that she curled up in the quilt and continued to sleep. When she woke up, Dabao had already gotten up. She ignored the pain in her body and quickly got up.
Gu Tingzhou has already prepared a pot of fragrant mutton and radish soup. This does not require any cooking skills and you can enjoy its original flavor.
The family was about to separate after this last meal. The two adults didn't say anything, but they just couldn't bear to look at each other.
Dabao chirped, "Dad, please think of me, Mom, and Erbao when you go back."
"Dad, are you taking the train back to the army? What does the train look like? Is it fast?"
"Dad, are you serious about taking us with you to join the army? Is the army as big as our village? Is it fun?"
Gu Tingzhou answered his son's questions one by one, and then reminded him: "After Dad is gone, you will be the only man in the family. You must take good care of Mom and your brother, and study hard. Next year, Dad will come back to pick you up, and our family can be together again."
After hearing these words, Dabao finally realized that his father was leaving. The father and son had been getting along very harmoniously these days, and he was reluctant to let his father go.
Dabao hugged his father's legs and said, "Dad, I don't want you to leave."
Li Qingyun also had tears in her eyes, and the fragrant mutton soup in the bowl no longer smelled good.
She got up and went to the kitchen, and put seven or eight of the spicy rabbit heads that she had soaked yesterday into a large lunch box. She didn't stop until the lunch box was so full that she could hardly close it.
Gu Tingzhou’s military water bottle was filled with mutton soup made in the morning.
He then took out a piece of instant roast chicken bought from the supermarket, cut it into pieces, and wrapped it in oil paper, as well as a basket of steamed buns that he had steamed yesterday.
These foods were packed separately in a cloth bag and carried with me. They were all food prepared for the car.
Then he took out four pieces of high-quality wild boar meat that had been marinated earlier, as well as three wild rabbits and three pheasants. These things were also for him to take away. Whether it was to add a dish or to give to leaders or friends, they were all good things.
Gu Tingzhou had already said goodbye to Dabao. He came to the kitchen and gently hugged Li Qingyun from behind.
"Wife, remember to think of me at least once every day, write to me a letter every week, four letters a month, not one less." He was also reluctant to let her go.
"How can you be like this? One letter a month is enough, but you wrote four. Do you think your family owns the post office?" Li Qingyun was so angry that she laughed and turned around to punch his chest.
"I don't care. Four letters is the bottom line. You can do whatever you want." Gu Tingzhou said shamelessly.
He forcibly turned Li Qingyun's body over, making her face him, and lightly kissed her forehead.
"Wait until I come back to pick you up."
"good."
Gu Tingzhou had very little luggage of his own, just two sets of casual clothes, one to wear and one to carry with him, and a sweater knitted by Li Qingyun herself, which had just been knitted a few days ago. He was reluctant to wear it, so he folded it up carefully and put it in his luggage.
The luggage bag was relatively empty, with a few pieces of wild boar, pheasant and rabbit meat stuffed inside.
The other luggage was a suitcase filled with bottles and jars, and a small cloth bag filled with food.
The total weight of these luggages was only about 70 or 80 kilograms, which was quite light for him.
Before leaving, Li Qingyun suddenly opened up, seemingly unable to finish her words: "Be careful with your legs. Don't resume high-intensity training right away."
I brought bacon, pheasant, hare, cold rabbit, and meat sauce. Remember to share them with your comrades when you get there. I'll mail them back after you finish eating them."
"I know, this is more than enough. Don't mail it. The food in the army is pretty good. I can only feel at ease if you and the children eat well at home.
If there is anything urgent, you can call me, and don’t forget to write to me every week.
I'll file a report when I get back, and once everything is settled, I'll come back to pick you up." Gu Tingzhou hugged Li Qingyun into his arms, reluctant to let her go, wanting to squeeze her into his arms.
After traveling thousands of miles to see you off, we must eventually say goodbye. Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Tingzhou picked up his luggage and set off. He first went to the old house to say goodbye to his parents, and his father and mother stuffed him with food until he could no longer eat.
He had to first take a bullock cart to the commune, then take a bus from the commune to the county town, and then take a bus from the county town to the provincial capital, where there was a train station. Now the green train was very slow, and it took two days to get to Beijing, and then he had to go back to the army.
The difficulties along the way are just like his life. As a child from the countryside, it is really not easy for him to come this far.
Others are born into high-ranking official families, with the best educational resources, the highest quality of life, and the most choices, but he has nothing but a heart that dares to fight and take risks.
However, after having a chance to do it all over again, he has many different insights. This life should be more stable and better than the previous one.
When Gu Tingzhou arrived in the county town, he went to pick up the photos first. Looking at his wife and children smiling brightly in the photos, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He carefully put the photos in his arms.
On the other side, Li Qingyun, who had just seen Gu Tingzhou off, felt empty inside and suddenly felt a lot more deserted. It was like this when she was at home with her two children before, but she was not used to it now.
Habit is a terrible thing, and she has become accustomed to that man.
Cheng Jie also came to pick up Dabao at this time.
"Sister, Tingzhou is gone?"
"Yes, Brother Cheng, thank you for your hard work." Li Qingyun put Dabao's lunch box into his schoolbag and sent him out.
"I heard he caught four sheep and three wild boars by himself yesterday? That's impressive!
"If you have any problems in the future, or if there's work you can't do, just ask me or your sister-in-law for help. Let's not be too polite." Cheng Jie said enthusiastically.
"He's not that amazing. He just killed a few sheep, and the others helped. Okay, I won't be polite with you. The roads are slippery in the snow, so be careful."
It snowed again last night, and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, but it was not to the point where we couldn't go out to school. Studying is a hard thing to do, and we still have to go to school unless we can't go out.
Li Qingyun carried Dabao onto the bike and watched the bicycle go farther and farther away until it disappeared from her sight.
Shaking her head, she had to find something to do, otherwise today would be difficult.
Thinking of the mutton she had distributed yesterday, she took out about two kilograms of mutton and prepared to send it to the old house.
