Sheng Kangning held Xiaobao in his arms and said to Xu Hongmei, "Sister Hongmei, Xiaobao is sleepy. I'll take him back first."
"I'll take you there!" Xu Hongmei also stood up.
"No need, it's only a few steps away. It's busy here. You guys stay a while."
Xu Hongmei also wanted to chat for a while, so she nodded: "Then you go back first, I'll come find you later, and sleep at your place tonight!"
Sheng Kangning nodded.
After coming out of the cafeteria and walking a few steps, she heard someone calling her.
Sheng Kangning turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from and saw Meng Yong.
Sheng Kangning hasn't seen Meng Yong for a long time.
I heard from Sister Hongmei that Meng Yong was assigned to the quarry and she hasn't seen him since.
Meng Yong walked over and handed Sheng Kangning a cookie box: "This is what my mother mailed to me. It's for Xiaobao!"
Sheng Kangning took a step back: "What did you say first?"
Meng Yong smiled and said, "It's just a box of cookies! Just take it. I know you are getting married to Chu Nanzhou. I heard that he is now a battalion commander. He is already a battalion commander at such a young age. He has a bright future! I can't compare with him! I know myself! I have made up my mind and will take a leave to go home."
Sheng Kangning looked at Meng Yong in surprise: "You want to ask for leave to go home?"
Meng Yong nodded: "I have called my family, my dad is looking for someone to get a quota. After I take this leave, I will not come back! Although I like the life here, if nothing else, I work every day, my physique is much better than in Beijing. I used to get sick every now and then, but after coming here, I don't get sick anymore, it's great! Kangning, I wish you all the best!"
Meng Yong held the biscuit box and hesitantly stretched it towards Sheng Kangning.
Sheng Kangning: "Put it on Xiaobao! I thank you on Xiaobao's behalf! I wish you a safe journey!"
Meng Yong smiled and nodded: "Let's go!"
After Meng Yong left, Sheng Kangning sighed and walked towards the dormitory.
She didn't expect that someone was already standing outside her room.
Hearing Sheng Kangning's footsteps, the man turned his head and looked over.
It’s Zhang Jianmin.
"Are you looking for me?" Sheng Kangning stood a few steps away from Zhang Jianmin.
Zhang Jianmin shook the thing in his hand: "I'll give you brown sugar!"
"I have brown sugar!"
"Please accept this as an apology gift to you!" Zhang Jianmin handed it over.
Sheng Kangning frowned and didn't answer.
"Give it to me! Brown sugar is such a good thing. We women soak it in water and drink it, which is good for the body! Deputy Director Zhang, how about giving me half a pound?" Xu Hongmei walked out from behind Sheng Kangning and took the brown sugar from Zhang Jianmin's hand.
Zhang Jianmin smiled and said, "Just send it out. If you want as much as you want, ask Kang Ning!"
Xu Hongmei pushed Sheng Kangning forward and said with a smile, "Thank you, Deputy Director Zhang, it's too late today, let's go back!"
Xu Hongmei took the key from Sheng Kangning's pocket and opened the door.
First, Sheng Kangning carried Xiaobao into the house, Xu Hongmei followed behind, and then closed the door.
"I know you don't want to accept his things. Let me tell you, when I came back, I saw Wu Xiaohui, sneaking around. If Wu Xiaohui saw Zhang Jianmin with you, we'd have new melons to eat tomorrow! Maybe you don't know this, but Wu Xiaohui has fallen in love with Zhang Jianmin and wants to marry him. However, Zhang Jianmin doesn't like her at all. She's just being too enthusiastic!"
Sheng Kangning really didn't know that Wu Xiaohui had fallen in love with Zhang Jianmin.
Xu Hongmei put the brown sugar on the table: "Okay, if you don't want this brown sugar, just give it to me! Anyway, I asked Zhang Jianmin for it. I'll ask Zhang Jianmin tomorrow if he wants anything. I'll give him a gift in return." Seeing Sheng Kangning put Xiaobao down and sat on the kang in a daze, Xu Hongmei asked:
"Still no news from the battalion commander?"
Sheng Kangning hummed.
Xu Hongmei sighed softly.
After the New Year, the eighth day of the New Year will soon arrive.
"What should we do? Shouldn't we prepare for the banquet?"
Sheng Kangning nodded: "We need to prepare!"
"Then let's go to the county supply and marketing cooperative some other day!"
"Um!"
On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Manager Zhou suddenly found Sheng Kangning and said, "Kangning, I just called Director Chen from the supply and marketing cooperative. Director Chen said that the pork you ordered has arrived!"
Sheng Kangning said in surprise: "Really?"
Director Zhou nodded: "Are you going?"
Sheng Kangning nodded and smiled: "Go, is there a car going to the county town today?"
"Let Liu Jinjiang and the others drive you to the supply and marketing cooperative! Buy everything you need and come back!"
Sheng Kangning smiled and said, "Okay! I've already notified Aunt Juhua, she'll be here tomorrow!"
When going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, Xu Hongmei, Wang Juan and others will go.
When Brother Feng in the cafeteria found out, he said for the first time that he also wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
Hongyang Farm is now rich, and Director Zhou bought a second-hand truck from somewhere.
The big car that Sheng Kangning and the others were riding in.
I went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town. The county town had changed a lot after the earthquake and all the houses were newly built.
Luo Yan comes to Hongyang Farm at the end of every month to pay the bill and get the beauty cream.
Sheng Kangning made a list of the things to be purchased for the banquet, gave it to Luo Yan, and asked Director Chen to help with the shopping.
Director Chen answered Lao Zhou's call and knew that Sheng Kangning was coming, so he waited in person at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative. As soon as Sheng Kangning and the others arrived, Director Chen led them to the warehouse behind the supply and marketing cooperative, where everything Sheng Kangning wanted was.
Liu Jinjiang, Yang Hui and others loaded the things into the car.
Sheng Kangning and Director Chen exchanged a few words at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative and were about to leave.
There was the sound of a car at the other end of the street.
Sheng Kangning looked over and saw a military green jeep appearing at the other end of the street.
The military green jeep slowed down and finally stopped in front of the supply and marketing cooperative. Sheng Kangning widened his eyes, feeling a sense of anticipation in his heart.
The car door opened.
A man jumped out of the car.
It was the face that Sheng Kangning was familiar with.
"Brother Chu!"
The man walked over, stood in front of Sheng Kangning, opened his arms, and hugged Sheng Kangning directly.
Sheng Kangning no longer cared about anything else. He grabbed the man's clothes tightly with both hands and buried his face in his chest.
At this moment, Sheng Kangning wanted to cry.
Director Chen looked at the two in surprise. Xu Hongmei introduced them, "That's my Kang Ning's boyfriend, Captain Chu."
Director Chen nodded excitedly: "I know him, Captain Chu is our hero, he saved many people in the earthquake!"
This time it was Xu Hongmei who was surprised: "Have you met our boss?"
"Who in this county doesn't know Captain Chu? I never thought Kang Ning's partner is Captain Chu. Xu Hongmei, tell Kang Ning that these things are my share of the money!"
Xu Hongmei's eyes widened: "It's not appropriate! It's several hundred!"
Director Chen smiled and said, "What's inappropriate? It can't compare to what Captain Chu has done for us. This is just a token of my appreciation! Ask them if they want to stay for a night. I'll find a place for them and make sure they're satisfied!"
"No, it's still early!"
