Before leaving, Lin Xiaoxiao visited Peach Blossom Village and gave Li Cuilan fifty yuan as payment for her stay at the Zhang family's house. Li Cuilan refused to accept it, so Lin Xiaoxiao secretly put it in her room.
When Li Cuilan tidies up the room, she will naturally see it.
"Duoduo, Auntie is leaving now, let me hug you one more time." Lin Xiaoxiao opened her arms to Zhang Duo with great affection.
When Zhang Duo heard that her aunt, who often gave her candy and played with her, was leaving, she felt so sad that tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall but not quite.
She didn't forget to throw herself into Lin Xiaoxiao's arms, pitifully saying, "Auntie, don't go."
Lin Xiaoxiao patiently explained to her, "Auntie has to go to work, otherwise her salary will be docked."
A child that young wouldn't understand these things.
She just looked at you with teary eyes, begging you not to leave.
Oh my god, it's so cute it's unfair.
Lin Xiaoxiao clutched her chest, feeling a strong urge to have a daughter.
My daughter is so soft and sweet, she'll act all cute and affectionate with you. Every day when I come home from get off work, I have a lovely, soft daughter clinging to me.
We can't hold on.
I really can't take it anymore.
Even though Li Cuilan and Zhang Duo were reluctant to part, Lin Xiaoxiao still had to leave.
"Hey girl, take these dried meats to the army." Li Cuilan took down the hanging pheasants and rabbits and was about to put them in her pocket when Lin Xiaoxiao stopped her.
"No need, sister-in-law, you and Duoduo keep it for yourselves. It was originally brought here for you to eat."
She resolutely refused to accept it, her attitude was firm, and Li Cuilan had no choice but to give up.
As she turned around, she raised her hand and wiped the corner of her eye.
Holding Zhang Duo in his arms, he watched her get into the car and leave.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at this scene in the rearview mirror and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Don't worry." Qin Yushen held her hand with one hand on the steering wheel and the other, and said gently, "I've spoken to the brigade leader and the village secretary, and they will take care of the mother and daughter."
Lin Xiaoxiao lowered the back of her seat and said sullenly, "Your brother is really despicable."
After Company Commander Zhang died, Li Cuilan and her daughter Zhang Duo were left to depend on each other. Without family support, they were often bullied in the village.
These days, Lin Xiaoxiao has heard Li Cuilan tell her a lot about her past with Company Commander Zhang.
Every word and phrase is filled with longing.
A family that should have been happy was torn apart.
Lin Xiaoxin felt a little depressed, unable to describe her feelings.
Qin Yu looked straight ahead at the road. "So, power is a good thing."
Only by having rights can one have a voice.
Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to be deep in thought.
—
Huo Jingjia.
Seeing the jeep approaching from a distance, Luo Qingming looked at Huo Jing beside her and said softly, "Brother, I'm leaving now. Thank you."
Huo Jing looked at his fair and jade-like face, and his mind went blank for a moment.
It was as if I could hear the echo of the first time I met him.
She looked at him with the same expectant gaze, "Brother, I'm hungry."
Huo Jing shook his head.
I've been getting more and more sentimental lately, always reminiscing about the past.
“Go ahead,” he said to Luo Qingming.
The light in Luo Qingming's eyes dimmed inch by inch, and his eyelashes cast heavy shadows as he lowered his gaze. He gave a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, "Huo Jing, you're so heartless."
Huo Jing turned his head away from him, leaving Luo Qingming with only a cold profile.
Luo Qingming gave him a deep look, then, carrying her few belongings, walked towards the jeep.
The thin figure walked further and further away, its frail back trembling slightly in the sunlight like a withered leaf in the wind.
"etc......"
The voice came from behind her, and Luo Qingming stopped but did not turn around.
The sound of footsteps grew louder as they approached.
Huo Jing bypassed him and put a full bag into the trunk of the jeep.
Then, Huo Jing said to Lin Xiaoxiao beside the car, "These are all game I hunted in the mountains. They've been dried and can be preserved for a long time. Thank you for the medicine."
He nodded and greeted Qin Yu, who was standing next to him.
Just as he was about to leave, Qin Yushen called out to him, "You're very suited for the military, have you thought about it?"
Without hesitation, Huo Jing blurted out his refusal, "Thank you, but I have no such intention."
Qin Yu nodded deeply, indicating that he understood.
Huo Jing looked at Luo Qingming, who was still standing there, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "Please treat him well."
Then, he strode away.
As he passed Luo Qingming, he didn't stop walking, without the slightest hesitation. His back was like a sword drawn from its sheath, cutting straight off all the ties behind him and plunging directly into the mountains.
Luo Qingming watched him disappear into the forest, the dense mountains and forests swallowing him up. He was like a trapped beast in the forest, unable to escape or leave.
A tightness in his chest, he turned his face away to cough, his Adam's apple bobbing violently, and a thin mist quietly spread across the corners of his eyes.
"Ah Ming?" Lin Xiaoxiao called out.
"Let's go, sister, brother-in-law." After getting into the car, Luo Qingming's eyes drooped listlessly.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Qin Yu exchanged a deep look, said nothing, and started the car towards Tongcheng city.
Lin Xiaoxiao also needs to go to Tongcheng Textile Factory to get an official stamp.
Therefore, they decided to rest in Tongcheng for one night and set off back to Jiangcheng the next day.
Upon arriving in Tongcheng, we first visited the textile factory, and then went to a state-run restaurant for a meal.
The state-run restaurants in Tongcheng had a wider variety of dishes than those in the county town. Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been hungry all morning, ordered five dishes, four of which were meat dishes.
This extravagant way of ordering food attracted a lot of attention.
Even the waiters repeatedly emphasized that the restaurant's portions were very large and that we might not be able to finish them, so we shouldn't waste food.
