Now, every time Gu Jingyuan received a package, Qian Zhixuan would tease him by saying, "You're living a good life now!" Gu Jingyuan would always put on a happy smile and remained unmoved by Qian Zhixuan's teasing.
After finding a partner, life naturally changes dramatically. On Gu Jingyuan's desk, there are cans of dried meat and grapefruit candies sent by Shen Qingmiao, all for Gu Jingyuan to eat when he's hungry during training. There are also Gu Jingyuan's clothes and sweaters sent by Shen Qingmiao, all knitted by Shen Qingmiao herself.
It felt warm when he put it on, and Gu Jingyuan seemed to feel Shen Qingmiao's intentions.
Gu Jingyuan's life changed noticeably, and his once cold demeanor sometimes softened. One soldier confessed that he once saw Gu Yanwang smiling.
At that time, everyone said that he must have seen it wrong. How could a man like Gu Yanwang have such a gentle smile? It was probably more like a devil's smile. It was not until they all saw the gentle smile on Gu Jingyuan's face after receiving the package that they realized that they were superficial. Gu Yanwang also had a gentle day.
It's a pity that the gentleness is not given to them. They are still tortured to death during training, without any gentleness at all.
Along with the package was a letter from Shen Qingmiao to Gu Jingyuan, which expressed Shen Qingmiao's longing for Gu Jingyuan. Every time Gu Jingyuan received a letter, he would wait until he returned to the dormitory alone at night to open the letter and read it slowly.
The orange light shone like a flame in the winter night, bringing warmth and light to the dark room. Sitting at his desk, Gu Jingyuan carefully unfolded the letter, savoring each word. Seeing the girl's yearning for him, Gu Jingyuan's eyes lit up with longing. Seeing the girl describe the fun things in her life, a faint smile crossed his lips, as if he could see the girl's happy smile in the letter.
After reading the letter, Gu Jingyuan would keep it and put it in his secret drawer. It contained all the letters sent to him by the little girl.
After putting the letter away, Gu Jingyuan closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. The image of the little girl with a bright smile appeared in his mind, and he was immersed in beautiful thoughts.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching, Gu Jingyuan was still thinking about what New Year gift to send to the little girl. As for the New Year gift, Gu Jingyuan spent a lot of time thinking about it. He had been thinking for several days but still couldn't come up with a good gift.
Seeing Gu Jingyuan looking so worried these past few days, Qian Zhixuan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you being so worried these past few days?"
"It's okay." Just after he finished speaking, Gu Jingyuan seemed to remember something and asked casually, "What gifts have you given to your wife before?"
Qian Zhixuan didn't react at first, looking a little stunned, but then he suddenly understood and smiled mischievously, "I was wondering why you looked so gloomy these past few days. It turns out it's because you don't know what gift to get your partner."
Facing Qian Zhixuan's teasing smile, Gu Jingyuan pretended not to notice it and said, "If you have any good suggestions, please speak up. If not, please go back to your seat and don't disturb me."
"Yes, of course there are." Qian Zhixuan said with extraordinary determination, "I have more experience than you in this matter. Let me tell you, when giving gifts to girls, you must cater to their preferences. Girls like clothes, shoes, vanishing cream and so on... Why don't you go to the Friendship Store and have a look?"
Qian Zhixuan's words gave Gu Jingyuan great inspiration, "Thank you."
"If you really want to thank me, please let me drink the wedding wine right away."
"I won't keep you waiting long."
As Gu Jingyuan's good brother, he was as anxious about his lifelong event as Gu's father and Xue's mother. Gu Jingyuan was already quite old and had children, but he didn't even have a wife. How could he not be anxious?
Now, there's finally a girl that Gu Jingyuan likes, and the girl also likes Gu Jingyuan. If he doesn't speed up the process, how can he feel at ease? What if the other girl dislikes him?
After chatting with Qian Zhixuan, Gu Jingyuan had a plan in mind. When he had time, he would go to the Friendship Store in the provincial capital to choose a New Year gift for the little girl.
He has to spend the New Year in the army this year. It is his turn to be on duty and he cannot go home. He can just call home when the time comes.
Far away in Xiaohe Village, Shen Qingmiao had no idea that Gu Jingyuan was agonizing over what New Year's gift to send her. At this moment, Shen Qingmiao was delivering the mushrooms she had harvested to Zhang Donghai. With the New Year approaching, this was a great time to make a killing.
Shen Qingmiao first put the mushrooms into his own space, and then took them out again when he returned to the warehouse agreed upon with Zhang Donghai. This way, it was safer and less likely to be discovered.
When Zhang Donghai arrived, he saw Shen Qingmiao already waiting for him. He stepped forward and asked, "What are these?"
Zhang Donghai looked at the pile of mushrooms on the ground and was obviously a little surprised.
"Yes, it's all here."
Zhang Donghai quickly retracted his surprised expression and returned to his serious demeanor. "It's still the same as before. I'll give you a small deposit first, and then I'll give you the remaining money after we clear the goods."
Shen Qingmiao had already agreed on the price of mushrooms with Zhang Donghai.
"Sure, Brother Zhang, we've been working together for so long, I trust you as a person."
After the deal was settled, Shen Qingmiao left the warehouse. Zhang Donghai instructed his men to start selling the mushrooms in the county town or transport them to the provincial capital.
There is a new dish for the Chinese New Year, I think it will be popular.
