I had breakfast prepared by Xu Jianmin and Chen Ming early in the morning. Although it was just the simplest corn porridge, side dishes and pancakes, who wouldn’t be happy to have ready-made food as soon as I opened my eyes?
After dinner, Xu Manman packed up her things and left with her uncle. The other boys could not enjoy this treatment and could only jog all the way to the army.
At lunch time, Xu Manman didn't even have to go to the cafeteria. Xu Jianbing directly called Xu Jianan and Xu Jianguo to get food from the cafeteria.
Xu Manman took the lunch box, placed it on the coffee table, and asked her two younger brothers, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, but big brother has helped us get it ready."
Xu Manman rubbed his head and said, "Alright, go back and eat."
Xu Lei's office was filled with some important documents. Xu Manman had to make a special application and sign a confidentiality agreement before she could work there. Even his sons Xu Jianbing and Xu Jianguo were not allowed to stay here for long.
It was only when Xu Jianbing returned to the camp that he realized how popular his sister had been during this period.
At this moment, there were a bunch of people in front of him, asking questions here and there, trying to get information about Xu Manman in a tactful way.
He finally understood the true meaning of his father's words yesterday, so he decisively chose to send the thing over in advance to strictly prevent any potential danger.
The brothers have a complete understanding when it comes to matters concerning their younger sister/sister. They can patiently answer other questions, but whenever it comes to Xu Manman, they will not answer, say anything, or pay any attention, and will resist to the end.
In the afternoon, Xu Jianmin, Chen Ming and others could not go to class, but the brothers Xu Jianbing and Xu Jianjun were qualified. Sitting in the auditorium, they saw their father talking eloquently and Xu Manman who was graceful and cooperative. They also realized how dazzling their sister was, and silently raised their defense level.
By the time Xu Manman finished the lesson plan, it was already the end of August. Due to the course arrangement, the originally planned return to Hai City was postponed for two days. It was not until a week before school started that Xu Manman officially set off.
Not to mention how many young men in love in the military region were heartbroken that day, even Li Fang was reluctant to leave. For several days in a row, she stayed in Xu Manman's room, hugging her and sleeping together.
Before leaving, I took a special leave to go to a nearby village to collect a lot of dried seafood.
Li Fang pointed at the packages and told her eldest son, "Jianbing, this package is sent to Jing City, and this package is taken to Hai City. I have marked the packages for each family."
After saying that, she looked at her niece and said, "My dear, you are living at home now. You can cook these for yourself. If you finish them, call me and I will send them to you."
Xu Manman sat beside Li Fang and put her head on her shoulder, "Auntie, you are the best to me."
"You know I'm good to you. Come over quickly when the winter break comes. Your eldest brother will pick you up then."
This was also what they had discussed with Hai City in advance. The winter vacation for college students started early, and there was still more than half a month before the Chinese New Year. They could come here and stay for a few days first, and then go back to Hai City around the Chinese New Year, so as not to delay things.
Xu Manman buried her face in her aunt's shoulder, nodded, and said nothing.
Whenever there is a separation, people feel unhappy. She felt uncomfortable watching her aunt helping to pack things these two days.
And this time, the eldest and second brothers also have to go to school, so there are only the two of them left at home.
No matter how reluctant you are, the day of separation will eventually come.
For those who were leaving, Xu Lei personally drove them across the port to Baishi Station. Compared to when they came here, each of them had a backpack and traveled light. This time, except for Xu Manman, everyone else was carrying large and small bags.
However, the largest packages were sent directly from the post office after landing at the port. Even so, there were still a lot of things left. After all, the two brothers needed to live in the university. Although military academies generally provided uniform bedding, they still had to prepare some daily necessities themselves.
Xu Lei first told Xu Manman to be a good brother, then told a few older ones, and finally looked at his two sons.
Men are more reserved in expressing their feelings to each other. In the past, my sons often went on missions and would be away for one or two months or half a year in Shenzhen. In fact, I have long been accustomed to separation.
This time, the sons left home for a brighter future, so there was nothing to worry about.
Xu Lei placed his hands on his two sons' shoulders and patted them, "Study hard and don't embarrass me and your mother."
