That night, Jiang Yue fell into a deep sleep.
When she heard the reveille, Jiang Yue opened her eyes and called out to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu appeared at the door.
When are you leaving?
Jiang Yue asked Lu Yu.
"immediately."
Jiang Yue threw off the covers and ran towards Lu Yu like a small cannonball, hugging him tightly.
"Lu Yu, you must come back soon, and come back alive to see me."
Lu Yu gently embraced Jiang Yue and said in a firm voice.
"Wife, I will come back as soon as possible. I promise you, I will be alright and come back to see you safely."
Jiang Yue hummed in agreement, her face pressed against his chest. He would be gone for over a month, and she truly didn't want him to leave...
Lu Yu held Jiang Yue tightly in his arms. Before, when he was alone, he was fearless no matter what mission he was on. But now that he had a wife, he suddenly felt worried and missed her.
Jiang Yue suddenly let go of Lu Yu, walked towards the cabinet, opened her luggage, and took out a photo from the suitcase.
"for you."
Lu Yu took the photo and saw Jiang Yue in military uniform with a sweet smile. He put the photo in his breast pocket.
Lu Yu stroked Jiang Yue's hair and said.
"It's cold, you should go back to bed. I'll call you if I get the chance."
"good."
Jiang Yue wanted to see Lu Yu out, but Lu Yu wouldn't allow it. He wrapped her in the blanket, lowered his head, and kissed Jiang Yue passionately for a while before quickly leaving.
If he doesn't leave soon, he's afraid he won't be able to bear leaving.
Hearing the door close, Jiang Yue's tears instantly fell. She had been holding back her tears, afraid that if she cried out loud, she wouldn't be able to control herself and would tell him not to go.
But they are all children of soldiers, and they know the mission of a soldier; he has his responsibilities...
Jiang Yue felt a little weak and fell asleep again soon after.
When she woke up, she looked at her watch and it was already past nine o'clock.
Unlike decades later, things aren't as convenient to buy now, and there are plenty of snacks and such. There were some cookies and other treats in the house, but Jiang Yue didn't want to eat them right now.
When I got to the kitchen, I found a bowl of noodles and two fried eggs in the pot.
Lu Yu's cooking skills were average, but as she ate it, she felt that this was the best noodles she had ever eaten, because it was full of love.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Yue went to do the laundry, only to find that all her clothes were gone. She went to the yard and saw that all the clothes were hanging out to dry.
Just as Jiang Yue was about to go back into the house, she heard Zhang Yu talking to someone.
"Sister Zhang, what are you holding here?"
"Oh, this is Coptis chinensis that Comrade Jiang gave me. I specially prepared a big cup of it."
Zhang Yu didn't eat any Coptis chinensis last night, so she specially took a large piece, soaked it in a large enamel jar, and took it out to show off.
"Hmm."
Zhang Yu took a big gulp and immediately felt a surge of energy rush from his heart to the top of his head. The taste was indescribable.
She clearly wanted to vomit, but accidentally swallowed it.
"ah..."
Zhang Yu shouted.
The woman across the street was startled when she saw Zhang Yu's appearance.
"Sister Zhang, what's wrong?"
"It's so bitter, it's killing me..."
Zhang Yu's face scrunched up, and she was gesticulating wildly, baring her teeth in a grotesque manner, which left the women next to her somewhat bewildered.
"This Coptis chinensis is terribly bitter..."
Zhang Yu spat many times, but the taste was still extremely unpleasant.
