Xu Sui opened a wicker bag, which was filled with things that her family had sent for Xu Mian. These were usually difficult to transport and could not be sent, but this time they were all brought over.

Xu Mian gently stroked the wicker bag and lowered her voice, "This box was made by Grandpa, right? The ones he made are stronger than those sold in the city. He made one for me when I first came here. It's now in my room."

The wicker bags sold in the store cost more than ten yuan each. Xu Dashan went to see how they looked and then went home to make his own.

Although the appearance is not sophisticated, the practicality is the same.

"This wicker bag was made by grandpa a few days ago. He asked me to bring it here and leave it to you." Xu Sui took out other things, "This is the leather shoes that my second brother saved money to buy for you, and this is also made by my eldest sister-in-law..."

Xu Mian's eyes were a little moist. She had always wanted to go home to visit in the past few years, but she could only ease her longing through the words in the letters.

Xu Sui saw her turn her head to the side and wipe her face with her hand. She paused, pretending not to see it, and took out the apple with a happy face, "Sister, eat this."

“Where did this come from?” There were no rare things like apples for sale in her hometown. Although Dao 껗 occasionally sold them, Xu Mian would not go to buy fruit first after knowing her sister 껗 Dao.

Xu Sui told her about the incident on the bed while cutting apples.

When Xu Mian joined the army, Xu Sui was only ten years old. Rural children develop late, and her impression of her sister at that time was that she was a shy girl who was relatively introverted, but would stay by her side as long as she was at home.

Now when she looks at her sister, she has become a grown-up girl.

His skin was as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg, and his facial features were all the best from his parents. She took a close look at him and couldn't help but take another look.

늀She has a slim and graceful figure, with a slender waist, a full chest, and a pair of long and slender legs.

Xu Mian couldn't help but say, "How come you look so good? You're prettier than the girls in the literary group."

She had watched the performances of the Wen troupe several times, and the girls in the performances were all outstanding in appearance and figure, but now when she saw her own sister, she felt that they all lacked a bit of charm.

Xu Mian took another closer look and said, "There really isn't a single mark on the face."

She became happy, "I'll take you to the mall to buy you a pair of bras tomorrow and dress you up. You're pretty, so you should dress nicely."

"No need, sister." Xu Sui refused. "The clothes in the mall are expensive and ugly. Why don't we make them ourselves?"

Even if she said no directly, Xu Mian would still force her to go and see them. However, she said that the clothes in the mall were not good-looking. Although Xu Mian did not think they were bad, she still said, "Then let's go and have a look tomorrow. If you don't like them, buy some nice-looking cloth and make yourself a dress."

Xu Sui told Xu Mian about her parents and grandfather, how cute Xu Dabao was, and some interesting things in the team. Xu Mian listened carefully.

Although he had been exchanging letters with his family, the transmission speed of letters was slow, and the things that happened in the middle of the correspondence were forgotten. Xu Mian only knew a few major events.

She listened with great interest, but after chatting for half an hour, she sent Xu Sui back to her room to sleep while she went to prepare lunch.

Xu Sui lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling. She felt inexplicably at ease. After closing her eyes for only a few minutes, she fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Mian came over quietly and closed the door. After the meal was ready, she went to pick up her two daughters.

Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan had fun with their friends all afternoon and are still full of energy, eager to talk to their mother.

Not long after they entered the hospital, Xu Sui woke up.

She walked out and looked at the clock outside. She had slept for half an hour.

Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan also saw the Auntie Xiao that their mother mentioned. The two Xiao friends opened their eyes wide and said, "Mom, Auntie Xiao is so beautiful!"

Xu Sui squatted down and took out the candies she had prepared early in the morning. "Are you Tuantuan and Yuanyuan? Auntie will treat you to candy."

Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan were a little embarrassed at this time. Xu Sui smiled and put them in their palms, then touched their heads and praised: "You are all so cute, so obedient and cute."

The two friends blushed. No one had ever praised them like that before.

When Xu Sui came over to help serve the rice, Tuantuan said to her sister, "I'm going to tell Xiaofang that I have an aunt Xiao who is like a fairy and can even make candies."

Yuanyuan was not to be outdone, "I also said, that's my aunt."

"be mine!"

"mine!"

Before they knew it, the two sisters started arguing again.

Xu Mian put the dishes on the table. She was used to this. "If you keep quarreling, Auntie will be punished too. But if you don't eat yet, Mom can beat you two if she wants."

Tuantuan blinked, "Mom, why can't you give birth to another sister?"

She knew that Aunt 께 was her mother's sister, but why did she only have one child with such a beautiful sister?

Xu Sui couldn't help laughing out loud.

Although Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are twins, they don't look exactly the same. Tuantuan has a rounder face, probably more like his father, while Yuanyuan has pointed eyes, just like Xu Mian.

If you look carefully, it is still easy to distinguish.

Of course, the similarities are mostly the same.

Xu Sui saw that Xu Mian finished her meal in almost two minutes, and then fed her two daughters, one bite at a time.

Since meeting Xu Mian, Xu Sui has been observing her health. She will die of illness in just one year. There will be some symptoms before, but they were ignored.

She searched her memory and realized that Xu Mian always ate very quickly, usually just chewing a few times before swallowing.

Xu Mian is diligent and efficient in work, and she doesn't waste time on eating.

Comparing it with the memory of Xu Mian before he joined the army, he was indeed rounder than he is now, with flesh on his face, unlike now, with a clear jawline and slight depressions on both sides of his cheeks.

Although she didn't know the specific reason, she couldn't just let her sister go to the hospital for a physical examination.

While her sister was still feeding her, Xu Sui filled the kettle with spiritual spring water and boiled it on the stove.

The country has launched a patriotic health campaign, advocating not to drink raw water, and the harm of drinking raw water has also been clearly stated. At least the Xu family has always drunk boiled water.

Xu Mian also took a look but didn't pay much attention.

Although Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan are lively and talkative, they are essentially good little girls. They still want to feed them, but they don't know how to use the spoon, so their food goes everywhere, which Xu Mian thinks is a waste.

After dinner, Xu Mian urged them to take a nap.

On the other side, Lu Chenghuai went to report to the army first.

He wasn't supposed to get off at the family compound, which was more than half an hour away from the gate he was heading to.

But he picked up the luggage for some unknown reason.

After the report was completed, Political Commissar Xiao Zhenhua called him to his office for a chat.
