"My father said that the army wanted him to help with the treatment. He learned about it when he returned to the county today." Zeng Wenjuan said truthfully.
Zhao Maosheng was even more shocked. Zeng Wenjuan's parents had such a great background, and the people in the old Zhao family were all stupid. They had offended people so badly. He nodded in understanding: "Okay, I'll write it to you now. Will you come back?"
"I don't know either. Let's see what the situation is first!" Zeng Wenjuan didn't know what the situation was with Zhao Jianguo. If it was serious enough that he had to be discharged from the army, he would definitely come back.
Zhao Maosheng also thought of this. After all, he had to return to his roots. He sighed and began to write a letter of introduction: "Your letter is good. I wrote an extra copy without filling in the date. If you need it, just let me know. It's from our neighbor in this village."
"Okay, thank you, village chief uncle." After expressing her gratitude, Zeng Wenjuan took the letter of introduction and left.
After returning home, Zeng Wenjuan and Chen Yitang began to pack up their things, leaving all the pots and pans there. They didn't know what would happen next, so they just took their quilts and clothes with them.
"Mom, are we leaving home?" Goudan saw Zeng Wenjuan packing her things as soon as she got home, so he went over to ask.
Zeng Wenjuan looked at Goudan and said, "Mom will take you to the army to find your father, okay?"
"I will listen to you, mom. If I want to go find dad, Goudan, just go with me." Goudan said very obediently.
Zeng Wenjuan gently embraced Goudan and kissed him on the forehead: "Goudan is your good son, can you go and pack up your toys?"
"Okay," Goudan agreed and ran happily to pack up his toys.
Day and night transition.
Zeng Wenjuan got up early in the morning to cook and prepare food for the journey. Chen Yitang also got up when he heard the noise: "Your Uncle Lin bought a ticket for the afternoon. There is no need to get up so early."
"It's a five-day drive. If we don't prepare some dry food, it will be difficult to buy food on the road and we will go hungry." Zeng Wenjuan explained with a smile.
Chen Yitang didn't say anything else. He just looked through the rice jar and the cupboard and saw that it was still full of food. "What should I do with all the food left at home? I can't just keep it!"
Zeng Wenjuan was making pancakes and said without raising her head, "I'll go find Hongtiao later and give these grains to Hongtiao. We don't know when we'll be back, and it would be a pity if they were left at home and spoiled."
"That's good. I don't know when you'll be back this time. It's good to catch up with your good friend so that we don't let the relationship fade over the years."
After breakfast, Zeng Wenjuan carried the remaining food at home to Zhao Hongtiao's house. Seeing Zeng Wenjuan bringing such a large bag of food, she was a little stunned: "Wenjuan, what are you doing? Why are you bringing so much food here!"
"Hongtiao, today I'm taking Goudan to the army to look for his father, and I don't know when he will be back. This is the remaining food. It would be troublesome to take it with me, so I thought of giving it to you and saying goodbye to you at the same time." Zeng Wenjuan put the food in front of Zhao Hongtiao. There were so many people on the train and there were so many things to take, so there was always a time when she couldn't take care of Goudan.
Zhao Hongtiao was slightly stunned after hearing Zeng Wenjuan's words: "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you leaving today? I didn't hear any rumors before!"
"It was also a temporary decision." Zeng Wenjuan did not say the main reason.
Seeing that Zeng Wenjuan had made up her mind, Zhao Hongtiao did not try to persuade her to stay: "Then remember to write to me after you settle down in the army. We are the best of friends. Even if you have other friends, you must put me first."
"Okay, we will always be best friends, and you should read more books. Then you will be able to write to me, and we can even be pen pals." Zeng Wenjuan joked with Zhao Hongtiao with a smile.
"You too, let's study together." Zhao Hongtiao also nodded and agreed. It must be a good thing to have the opportunity to study. Although people now say that studying is useless, if it is really useless, how can those educated people in the city get high salaries!
After a warm hug between the two good friends, the two separated.

Zeng Wenjuan and the other two took their luggage and went to the county town.
"You are here. Lao Chen...I bought you tickets for the 2 pm train. Guiying has already bought the food. After you have lunch at home, I will take you to the station to catch the train." Lin Baixiang stood up and said when he saw the three people coming.
"Oh my... Goudan is here, come and let Grandma Hu hug you." Hu Guiying heard the noise outside and ran out. After seeing Goudan, she opened her arms and said.
When Goudan saw Grandma Hu, he happily ran over and said, "Grandma Hu, I missed you so much!"
"This brat stays with me every day but never gets close to me. He's only met you a few times! How come you two are so close?" Chen Yintang said jealously upon seeing this.
Hu Guiying smiled and joked with Chen Yitang: "In the eyes of a child, he definitely knows who treats him well. It's not normal for him to have a good relationship with me! Look at you, you have a stern face all day long."
Goudan was still young and couldn't see the jokes between adults, so he took it seriously. He immediately turned around and hugged Chen Yitang's thighs and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, I am also best friends with you. Aren't we going to go find my dad together? I am a little reluctant to let Grandma Hu hold her."
The adults looked at each other and laughed out loud. The children were so funny!
Goudan couldn't understand the meaning in the adults' eyes. He just thought that his words had made the adults happy, so he joined in the laughter.
The pharmacy was quite some distance from the station, so they had lunch early.
Before leaving, Hu Guiying took out a bag of homemade snacks: "These are all snacks I made myself, you can take them with you on the road. You can also soak them in hot water and turn them into mung bean paste, which tastes good too."
"Thank you, auntie. We'll leave first." Zeng Wenjuan held Goudan's hand with her right hand and took the cloth bag of snacks with her left hand.
Hu Guiying reminded him, "Be careful on the road! Take care of Goudan. The other things are just external possessions. If they are gone, they are gone."
Zeng Wenjuan understood the meaning behind the words and nodded. They took two rickshaws and headed to the train station.
Lin Baixiang bought the platform tickets and escorted them to the train: "I bought you a first-class sleeper. There are only four people in this room, usually employees on official business. You can also have a good rest." Then he checked the tickets again and pointed to the two upper and lower bunks on the left and said: "These two beds are yours, so you can have a good rest with others."
