The Liu family's reply was not long, just one page of paper.
Liu Baogen opened it and began to read carefully.
I see that the letter from my sister said that the child bride Hongdou’s original name on the household registration was Liu Linglong, but when she moved her household registration, she changed her surname to Zhong Linglong.
Seeing the three words "Zhong Linglong", Liu Baogen's pupils suddenly shrank.
How could it be Zhong Linglong?
Not only does he have the same name as Miss Linglong, but he also has the same surname!
How could this be such a coincidence?
He thought about it and realized that Miss Linglong had indeed appeared during that time period.
Same name and surname, and appearing at the same time, this is too much.
But with Miss Linglong's appearance and personality, how could she be his unbearable child bride?
Is it a case of Li Dai Tao Jiang? Or do they even have the same surname?
He was unwilling to believe that these two people were the same person.
He just wanted to rush out and find Linglong and ask her face to face what was going on.
But it was already late at night, and if he went out at this time, he would only be caught by patrolling soldiers.
Even if he left the camp, he would not be able to see Linglong smoothly.
At this time, she must also be asleep at Tong's house.
Even if he didn't want to believe it, he was still shocked by the content of the letter and couldn't sleep that night.
In Liujia Village, Liu Li was also feeling uneasy.
The girl suddenly changed her temper, causing Baogen to be punished, and she even moved her household registration without Baogen's knowledge.
That would be fine, but why did she change her last name back?
Did she remember something during this illness?
Otherwise, how could so many unexpected things happen?
She became restless when she thought that Linglong might have recovered the memories she lost during her childhood high fever.
It's just that she can't discuss these things with her husband, and she can't rely on her daughter. Most of all, her son is far away, and he doesn't want to believe her when he tells her about such things. She can only bear it in her heart and bear it alone.
How could she imagine that Linglong didn't remember anything, she just lived another life!
It was Linglong's day off again. She slept a little longer and enjoyed the warmth of the quilt.
Seeing her lazy look, Aunt Tong smiled lovingly.
"You should have relaxed a lot earlier. You're always busy, either working or reading. I'd think someone was whipping you around."
Linglong only stuck her head out and giggled foolishly.
"Sleep a little longer. There's no one else home. Dazhu has gone to work. What do you want to eat? Auntie will make it for you."
"Auntie, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes."
"That's easy. I'll put two in the stove for you right now."
These days, people are short of white flour and fine grains, but coarse grains like sweet potatoes and potatoes that can satisfy hunger are more abundant.
In the winter, people generally like to put some sweet potatoes and potatoes in the stove, roast them, peel them and eat them deliciously.
This is why Linglong and her friends live in the military family quarters. The troops built their own houses and didn't have mud stoves. Otherwise, when they made a fire, they would bury some potatoes and sweet potatoes in the ashes under the firewood. That way, the roasted potatoes would be really fragrant.
The earthen stoves in the village have many uses. Many of them are connected to the earthen kangs at home. Not to mention the summer, they can be used for cooking in winter. The heat from the fire can also heat up the kang. Whether on the kang or in the house, it is extremely warm. It is simply the best of both worlds.
Linglong and her family can only use the stove to keep warm now, which is much worse than using an earthen stove. She even misses the warm kang in the village.
More than half an hour passed before Linglong got out of bed and put on her coat.
The temperature in the room is not high, so even when I sleep, I have to wear long-sleeved shirts and long-legged pants.
Seeing Linglong's family put on her old cotton-padded clothes again, Aunt Tong couldn't help nagging again.
"Linglong, why don't you make a new dress? It's too late for the tea party, but you can wear it during the New Year." The tea party is about to take place, and unless you go to the city right away to buy ready-made clothes, it will be too late to make them now.
They don't have convenient tools like sewing machines at home, so they can only make clothes by hand.
Linglong thought that she still had some money, and with the cloth coupons given to her by the quartermaster, if she could scrape together a little more money, she could indeed make a new set of clothes.
Who doesn't love wearing new clothes?
She didn't do it before, mainly because she didn't have the ability, and didn't want to spend money on Aunt Tong and Brother Dazhu. Now, she has no worries about food and shelter anyway, so she can make herself a new set of clothes.
People should always be nicer to themselves, Linglong still has a very good attitude.
She finally agreed to make new clothes, and Aunt Tong also became enthusiastic.
"Hurry up and finish eating. Let's go out and see if there's a car going into town. Let's go buy some cloth."
At the urging of her aunt, Linglong drank a bowl of porridge and ate a hot roasted sweet potato, and then the two of them got dressed and went out.
The military station did not have regular buses to the city. If you wanted to go into the city, you had to either walk more than ten miles to a place where you could take a bus, or see if the military station had a ride for you.
Logistics vehicles enter the city the most frequently, and they have to go into the city to purchase supplies every few days. As long as there is no bad weather such as heavy snow, there will be no delay.
The others were military trucks that were assigned missions here and there, or jeeps that went into the city for something.
It's cold outside and you can even see your breath clearly.
Linglong and Aunt Tong didn't have hats, so they each wrapped a headscarf around their neck to keep warm.
When they came out, there were children playing snowball fights outside, and there were also military families who were not afraid of the cold and were chatting outside with their hands folded.
Seeing the two of them coming out together, many people greeted them warmly.
There were only so many military families, and most of them knew each other. Aunt Tong had become familiar with everyone during her time here.
"Auntie, what are you doing out in this cold weather?"
Judging from their posture, they don't look like they are just strolling around the camp.
"Linglong and I will go into the city to see if there are any cars."
"Then hurry up."
"Exactly. The logistics vehicles coming into the city all leave early."
As soon as they walked away, several military wives started talking.
"This exquisite thing looks even more beautiful up close."
"That's right, such a pretty girl, who knows which boy will get her in the future."
"That tea party, I heard everyone who meets the requirements goes. Who knows, maybe this time she'll be taken."
"Oh, you're even using such a pretentious word to make yourself look cultured."
"What's the matter? My father taught me. If you have any problems, let your man teach you too."
"Where are we going to teach? We're not going to teach on the kang, are we?"
As they were talking, they were about to start a fight. Married women are more aggressive than each other...
Linglong and her friends were lucky. When they rushed to the place where the logistics military truck was parked, the people and vehicles were still there.
Linglong Xianpo can also be considered a logistics person, and this logistics person is also a celebrity.
She didn't know the two soldiers waiting to get on the bus, but they knew her.
Linglong doesn't know yet, but many people in the group are privately calling her the flower of the cafeteria.
The logistics staff all felt a sense of honor because they had her as their face.
She said she wanted to take a ride into the city, and the soldier on the bus immediately let her and Aunt Tong get on.
The military truck is used to transport things into the city, but now the back of the truck is empty, so you can go wherever you want.
There was some hay spread inside, so she and Aunt Tong squeezed in and sat down at the innermost part.
It wasn't just the two of them who wanted to go into the city. Soon, a few more people came.
The military truck will not wait for a long time. When it sees that the time is almost up, it will start the car and set off.
Liu Baogen was anxious to confront Linglong, and didn't want to have breakfast so he didn't even see Linglong in the cafeteria.
He asked and got the answer that Linglong was resting today.
There was no other way, he could only think about rushing to Tong's house to see Linglong before Tong Dazhu returned home at noon.
This time, he would get to the bottom of the matter no matter what.
But when he finally made it to noon, he hurried to Tong's house, only to find the door locked and no one at home.
After asking around, I found out that the person had entered the city.
He was furious in front of Tong's house, but there was nothing he could do. He could only think of coming over again in the afternoon.
