Grandma Wang estimated that the volume was at least three pieces.

"Xiao Gang, why do you save so much money?"

Wu Gang smiled and said, "When I can't sleep at night, I usually go to the mountain for a walk. Anyway, I rarely go down the mountain with nothing."

Grandma Wang's eyes widened when she heard this. "Aren't you afraid to go up the mountain alone in the middle of the night?"

"No."

Although Wu Gang said this, he was the only one who knew best that it was impossible for a person not to be afraid when hunting in a deserted mountain in the middle of the night.

Let’s not talk about those scary ghost stories. There are wolves in the mountains, and they eat people.

At first he was afraid, and very afraid.

When he was alone in the mountains, the slightest movement around him, even the sound of wind blowing the leaves, would make his hair stand on end.

As time went by, he gradually developed more courage.

What could he do? His daughter-in-law, who passed away early, had spent all her family assets on illness and was left with a lot of debt.

Just a few days after my daughter-in-law died, people started coming to my house to claim debts.

He is a very proud person. When people come to him to ask for money, he bites his tongue and immediately agrees to a repayment date.

It's harder to make some money these days than to eat shit. If you don't think of other ways, you'll have to rely on the little money you get at the end of the year and never be able to pay it back even if you save it all the time.

So he had no choice but to put his hope on the big mountain behind the village.

He worked during the day and went hunting at night. Once, when he was hunting a wild boar, he was almost bitten to death by the wild boar.

In the past few years, he worked very hard to catch prey for money, and finally paid off all his debts and had a small surplus.

These three or so dollars are all his current wealth.

When Grandma Wang heard that he went hunting in the mountains in the middle of the night, she shook her head and said, "You kid, there are ferocious beasts in the mountains. What if you run into one?"

"It's bad luck for it to encounter a ferocious beast."

As soon as Wu Gang finished speaking, Grandma Wang couldn't help but laugh.

"Making money is important, but safety is more important. You may not understand this as a person, but now you have a home and people waiting for you to come home every day. You must be careful and safe. I would rather not make that money."

Wu Gang nodded when he heard this, "I'll listen to my aunt and try not to go there in the future."

He was speaking from the heart. The policy of contracting land to each household would be implemented soon, and he had already made plans to grow and sell vegetables.

Anyway, we are all selling our labor to make money, so it is better to avoid dangerous places like those in the mountains.

Grandma Wang was relieved when she heard this. "Okay, you and Xiao'e will have a good life from now on. You two are not stupid, let alone lazy. You will definitely have a prosperous life."

After the two came out of the house, Wu Gang asked Wang Xiaoe to go for a walk on the street together.

Wang Xiao'e was reluctant at first, mainly because she felt embarrassed.

Unable to bear Xu Guixiang and Grandma Wang's persuasion, she finally followed Wu Gang.

Su Wan came back at noon and learned from Xu Guixiang that Wang Xiao'e and Wu Gang had already set a date for their wedding. She was so happy that she quickly found paper and pen to write a letter to Lu Chengchuan.

Tell him the good news and ask him if he can come back during the Chinese New Year.

She calculated the time. Today was the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Usually, it would take seven to ten days for a letter to arrive from her place to the plateau.

It was almost Chinese New Year when she received Lu Chengchuan's letter.

Until now, Lu Chengchuan's letter has not given her a clear answer.

Every letter said that they were waiting for arrangements from their superiors.

In fact, Su Wan already had a premonition that Lu Chengchuan would not be able to come back for the New Year, but she still did not give up and hoped for a miracle.

After not seeing him for such a long time, she really missed him a lot.

After the Chinese New Year, the baby in her belly should be born, and she wanted Lu Chengchuan to be by her side when the baby was born.

However, looking at the current situation, it seems unlikely that this wish will come true.

Because that reckless neighbor was always provoking, it seemed that the famous defense war in history had to be fought.

However, Wang Xiao'e and Wu Gang's wedding went smoothly and was held as scheduled on the 16th day of the Lunar New Year.

In order to save Wu Gang's appearance, Lu Heping rented a tractor from the team and asked Wang Xiaoe to sit on it and personally take Wu Gang to Lu's house.

Lu Heping and Li Dani kept their previous promise and gave her a lively wedding.

After they got married, Lu Heping and Li Dani handed the house over to them.

I thought the children would be reluctant to leave them, but when they left, none of the three children chased after them into the city.

The reason was not only that Wu Gang was very good at making the kids happy, but also that Shitou and Wu Gang were almost good friends.

Even though he calls me dad, dad, it seems that their relationship is closer than that of a father and a daughter, just like good friends who can talk about anything.

Now it was winter again, and there was basically no need to work in the fields. It was no problem for two adults to take care of three children, so they felt relieved to go to the city and bring Xu Guixiang back.

It was not until the 28th of February that Su Wan finally received a reply from Lu Chengchuan.

In the letter, he apologized to Su Wan with great guilt, saying that he could not come back, not only could he not come back for the New Year, but there was a high possibility that he could not even be with her when she had a child.

After reading the letter, Su Wan felt mixed emotions.

It is indeed not easy to be a military wife, but this is her own choice, and no matter how difficult it is, she will continue to be one.

Her man is making contributions to the country, and as a military wife, she cannot hold him back.

Su Wan wrote a letter with a forced smile, telling him firmly that it was okay, that she was fine, and not to worry him.

She knew that complaining was useless. He was a soldier, and a soldier's duty was to obey orders and follow the party's instructions.

Her only wish now was to join the army as soon as possible so that they could end their days of separation.

It was not until the 29th day of the lunar month that Su Wan and her parents-in-law returned carrying large and small bags of things.

Those big and small packages were New Year gifts that Su Wan bought for the Lu and Su families.

Su Wan also specially prepared a portion for Old Man Su and Old Lady Su, which made Old Lady Su so happy that she often spoke well of Su Wan in front of others.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Su Wan was talking to Wang Xiao'e when she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach. Wang Xiao'e noticed that something was wrong with her.

"Wanwan, what's wrong with you?"

"My stomach hurts so much." Su Wan's eyebrows were twisted together in pain.

"Wanwan, you're not 놚눃깊, are you?"

After Wang Xiao'e finished speaking, she quickly raised her voice and called out to Li Dani.

"Mom, please come quickly, Wanwan seems to be sick."
