Before dinner time, Miao Xianghua brought his eldest daughter-in-law to help.
They have a large family, and with the Lu family having five members, the amount of food to cook is too much. Miao Xianghua was afraid that Jiang Manyue would be tired, so he brought his daughter-in-law to help early.
Seeing that they were all there, Jiang Manyue didn't hesitate to be polite. While taking care of the pot, she directed her mother and sister-in-law to work.
While working, Miao Xianghua and Lin Qiufang were amazed at the dishes in the pot. How much would so many delicious dishes cost?
After they finished their work, other members of the Jiang family arrived one after another.
Jiang Manyue instructed Lu Lin to move the table to the yard, and then move out the long table that was not usually used, so that they could squeeze in and sit down.
The Jiang brothers knew that Lu Lin was injured, so they couldn't let him work. They rushed to move the table out and wiped it clean with a rag.
Jiang Manyue, her mother and sister-in-law divided each dish into two portions and served them all on the table.
The table full of delicious food made everyone swallow their saliva, especially the children, whose stomachs were rumbling with greed.
Li Guifen warmly invited everyone to take their seats and even divided the tables so that men who wanted to drink could go to the small tables and enjoy their drink.
Because Lu Lin was injured and he never drank alcohol in the army, he was also assigned to the big table.
Lu Lin was the only man at the big table, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He nimbly served food to Lu Jun'an and Jiang Manyue who were sitting on his left and right.
Miao Xianghua ate while watching Lu Lin's actions, feeling very relieved.
Li Guifen was the same. Seeing Lu Lin picking up the food so naturally, she was very happy and enjoyed her meal even more.
At the drinking table, Lu Qingyou got a little drunk, and while toasting with Jiang Changfu, he couldn't help but blurt out what was really on his mind.
"Brother Jiang, to be honest, I'm really happy that Man Yue and A Lin are going to the army, but I won't be able to eat Man Yue's cooking anymore, and I really feel bad!"
Lu Qingyou only had a good life after Jiang Manyue started cooking. He could eat good meals every day. Now that Jiang Manyue is gone, he was back to the time before liberation overnight.
Jiang Changfu obviously couldn't understand Lu Qingyou's frustration, because Miao Xianghua's cooking was delicious and he had never experienced Lu Qingyou's hardship.
Lu Qingyou still maintained a bit of rationality and did not complain about his wife's cooking in front of everyone. He just drank one cup after another with melancholy.
In the end, it was Jiang Manyue who promised that she would bring Jun'an back more often in the future, which made Lu Qingyou feel relieved.
After the meal, the men were all a little drunk. Lu Lin helped the Jiang family's daughters-in-law to send the staggering men back home, put away all the tables and chairs, and then returned to the room.
Jiang Manyue and Li Guifen had already washed the dishes, and she was sitting on the edge of the bed applying hand cream.
Lu Lin walked over and sat down, discussing with her about buying train tickets tomorrow.
Seeing that they would be returning to the army in two days, he thought about buying the train tickets tomorrow and getting a good berth.
Originally, Lu Lin didn't care about the berth when he returned to the army alone. He was happy to have a place to sleep, so he always bought tickets on the spur of the moment, as long as he could return to the army.
But this time he brought Jiang Manyue and Lu Jun'an with him. Lu Lin was afraid that if he was late he wouldn't be able to buy a good berth and that they would both be tired on the road, so he thought of buying tickets early.
Jiang Manyue also felt that it was necessary to buy it earlier. After all, when traveling with children, it would be best to have two lower bunks facing each other so that they could take care of each other.
Lu Lin agreed and wanted to chat for a few more minutes, but the two of them had been busy for most of the day and started to feel sleepy after just a few words. They both fell asleep soon.
The next morning, Lu Lin went to the county town and bought two train tickets.
Lu Jun'an was a child, so he didn't need to buy a ticket and could just sit in the same bunk as the adults.
After buying the train tickets, Jiang Manyue started packing her luggage.
Li Guifen joined in the busying, wanting them to take everything, and almost packed up all her belongings for them to take away.
In the end, Lu Lin returned all the things that Li Guifen asked them to bring, because the train was too crowded and it was difficult to carry these things.
Li Guifen had no choice but to give up and watched Jiang Manyue pack a suitcase of clothes and then leave nothing behind.
Jiang Manyue didn't want to bring so many things with her. They could be bought everywhere anyway. It would be better to buy them in Yunzhou instead of taking the trouble to carry them all the way there. New things would also be suitable for her new home.
Li Guifen sighed as she watched, thinking that the couple didn't know how to manage their household. She pulled Jiang Manyue aside and talked for a long time about how to manage a household.
Jiang Manyue nodded repeatedly to indicate that she remembered it, but then she turned around and forgot all the words.
She is not short of money or supplies, and she will not treat herself badly. She will enjoy herself when she should, otherwise what is the point of making money?
While Li Guifen was worrying about their meeting, the day of departure soon arrived.
Not only the Lu family, but almost all the Jiang family members have arrived and are going to the train station together to see them off to the train.
The group arrived at the county railway station in a mighty procession. Standing on the platform, Miao Xianghua couldn't help but hold Jiang Manyue's hand and burst into tears.
She was originally very happy that Jiang Manyue could go with the army, but when it came to parting, she was really reluctant to let her go.
I have raised my daughter for twenty years. She has never left my side since she was a child. Even after she got married, we are still in the same brigade. We are only a few steps away, and I can see her every day.
Now he has to go to such a far place, and he doesn’t know when they will meet again. Miao Xianghua feels heartbroken just thinking about it.
