Since I'm back in Beijing, I must go back to the Song family.
When she got home, Zheng Baozhu took out 10 kilograms of seafood, left 5 kilograms for her family, and asked Wu Hongxia to give the other 5 kilograms to the people in the compound.
Two bags per household.
Wu Hongxia asked: "Why did you think of sending seafood to the people in the compound?"
"My mother's shop is selling these seafood dishes now. I'll share some with everyone to taste. After everyone has eaten, they will go to my mother's shop to buy more."
Zheng Baozhu and Wu Hongxia said they were going to help out in their parents' store. They would not stay at home today and would take the train back tomorrow morning.
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's a rare opportunity for you to come back, so stay at home for a few days before leaving."
"I'm back. Please ask the neighbor sister to take care of Sicheng. Don't bother her for too long."
Seeing that Zheng Baozhu was still thinking about her grandson, Wu Hongxia was very pleased and took Zheng Baozhu into the house to give him some money.
"Your life on the island is hard, don't let it hurt you and your children."
Zheng Baozhu pushed him away: "Mom, I have money."
Seeing that her daughter-in-law refused to accept her money, Wu Hongxia couldn't help but think of the rumors she had heard.
It's about Zheng Baoyi.
Zheng Baoyi quarreled with her husband and ran away from home. After being found, she was angry and refused to go home unless the Jiang family made up the original betrothal money.
The Jiang family paid money to bring her back for the sake of the baby in her belly.
The comparison between the two sisters makes Zheng Baoyi seem extremely greedy.
Fortunately, her son did not marry Zheng Baoyi, so she had never met her and could ask for two dowries for the marriage.
…
Dongxian Island.
When Zheng Baozhu left, her family made a lot of vegetable dumplings.
Just put it in the pot and steam it for a while and you can eat it. Even a child like Song Sicheng can do it.
Looking at Song Zhiting who was in a daze while eating buns, Song Sicheng asked: "Dad, are you tired of eating vegetable buns? Mom said that when she got tired of eating vegetable buns, she went to the cafeteria to get food."
"I'm not tired of eating them. The buns your mother makes are very delicious. I was wondering what time your mother will arrive tomorrow?"
Song Sicheng was puzzled: "Dad, how did you live alone in the army all these years? Mom has only been gone for three days, and you miss her more than I do as a child."
Song Zhiting argued: "I am concerned about your mother."
"It's rare for mom to come back to Beijing. Maybe grandma won't want to let her go and will let her stay for a few more days."
"Your mother said she would be back in three days. Today is already the third day. She should be in the car."
"Let's give grandma a call and ask."
As he said that, Song Sicheng was about to get up and make a phone call.
Song Zhiting hurriedly stopped him: "Don't fight. If your mother doesn't come back, your grandmother will think we are rushing her."
Song Sicheng sat down and continued to eat his buns: "Your Excellency is really hypocritical. You obviously miss mom very much, but you don't want mom to know."
Song Zhiting glared at his son and said, "What does a child know?"
Of course Song Sicheng understood.
He was a light sleeper and knew that his father would secretly leave the room in the middle of the night every day and go to his mother's room to sleep.
In the morning, he pretends to get up earlier than me.
…
In the middle of the night, the phone in the Song family's living room kept ringing.
Wu Hongxia was woken up and picked up the phone. It was her son calling.
When Wu Hongxia heard her son asking whether his daughter-in-law had returned to the army, she wondered, "Baozhu got on the train this morning. Didn't she tell you when she would be back?"
Hearing that Zheng Baozhu had returned, Song Zhiting hung up the phone.
After being hung up on for no apparent reason, Wu Hongxia suspected that the young couple were having a conflict.
As soon as the sun rose, I went to Chen Lifang's shop.
We learned from Chen Lifang that Zheng Baozhu came back this time just to bring back the seafood.
Looking at Chen Lifang’s expression, if her daughter’s marriage was unhappy, she wouldn’t be smiling so happily.
Wu Hongxia was worried, so she called her son again when she got home.
The call was answered by my grandson.
Song Sicheng told her that his father had gone to the station to pick up his mother.
Wu Hongxia asked Song Sicheng if they had quarreled, and Song Sicheng said no.
Song Sicheng still had to go to school, and Wu Hongxia didn't want to delay him, so she told him to call her when Zheng Baozhu came back.
…
TRAIN STATION.
Zheng Baozhu was carrying a bag and holding a bag in her hand, preparing to take a bus back to the army.
Just as he was about to put the bag into the car, someone grabbed his arm.
When I turned around, it was Song Zhiting.
"Why are you here?"
Song Zhiting took the bag and said, "I was doing something and happened to be passing by the station."
"That's great, I can save some money on the fare?"
Song Zhiting felt the bag was heavy, weighing about 50 kilograms, and asked what was inside.
Zheng Baozhu smiled mysteriously: "Good stuff, I brought it from Beijing City specially as a reward for you new recruits."
Song Zhiting wanted to open his pocket to take a look, but Zheng Baozhu slapped him on the hand: "Don't look. Since we want to keep it mysterious, even you can't know."
When they returned to the family compound, everyone saw Song Zhiting taking bags off the car and asked what good things he had bought.
Song Zhiting said it was a reward for the new recruits' competition, but the specific content cannot be disclosed for the time being.
Captain Qian smiled and said, "If the new recruits in your battalion cannot win the competition, who should you give the reward to?"
Song Zhiting said: "Give it to the winner, the soldiers in your camp, if you have the ability, win it!"
Captain Qian said happily: "Old Song, you said this, you can't go back on your word!"
"I, Song Zhiting, spit and nail!"
…
The word spread and eventually reached the ears of the new recruits.
The new recruits in each battalion have intensified their training and are determined to get the mysterious reward from Battalion Commander Song's family.
The new recruits in the first battalion practiced even harder.
