Chapter 44 The Second Brother's Departure



Shen Qingmiao watched as his second brother almost forgot about him after he met Gu Jingyuan, so he could only follow him in silently.

"Qingmiao, go make me some sugar water."

Well, the time he remembered was when he asked me for help. Seeing how happy and excited he was, I'd help him out of reluctance, giving them some time to catch up.

"Okay, second brother, go have a good chat with Gu Jingyuan. I'll go make you some sugar water."

Taking the cup, Shen Qingmiao walked straight to Shen's mother's room. All the candies in the house were kept in Shen's mother's room, which was why Shen Jianjun asked Shen Qingmiao for help.

After Shen Qingmiao left, Shen Jianjun started to chat with Gu Jingyuan.

Shen Jianjun asked curiously, "Captain, are you here for something? Do you need any help? If so, just let me know. I know most of the people in these villages."

"No need, I've already taken care of it." Gu Jingyuan said, "I came to see you and asked if you wanted to go back with me."

After the matter was settled, Gu Jingyuan did not stay any longer and planned to return to the military camp.

Shen Jianjun was naturally willing to go back with Gu Jingyuan. His leave was almost up, so it was time to go back.

"No problem, Battalion Commander, where are you planning to go?" Shen Jianjun asked.

"The day after tomorrow, we will meet at the county train station." Gu Jingyuan said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, no problem."

Shen Qingmiao brought the prepared sugar water and placed it in front of Gu Jingyuan. Shen Jianjun saw that the sugar water was ready and said with a smile, "Don't be polite, Captain. Come and have some sugar water. We don't have anything else good to offer you at home, so please don't be disgusted."

Gu Jingyuan said with a straight face: "Jianjun, you are wrong. I am so happy that you treat me with sweet soup. How can I be disgusted by it?"

Gu Jingyuan knew that sugar water was used to entertain distinguished guests. Shen Jianjun's offering of something to entertain him was clearly a serious gesture.

"I'm not good at speaking, please don't be offended, Battalion Commander." Shen Jianjun wanted to say something, but after thinking about it in his mind, he could only say this dryly.

Shen Jianjun and Gu Jingyuan, two grown men, were sitting there talking, but Shen Qingmiao had no intention of staying there. Seeing that they were chatting happily, Shen Qingmiao got up and went to the kitchen.

The pregnant rabbit was placed in the kitchen by the Shen family. In order to ensure its safety, they built a simple nest for it, put some dry grass underneath, and surrounded it with wooden boards.

When Shen Qingmiao came over, the little rabbit seemed to hear the noise and stayed in the corner motionless.

Squatting in front of the rabbit's nest, Shen Qingmiao saw that all the food inside had been eaten by the little rabbit, so he stood up and took some to feed it.

Looking at the little rabbit eating non-stop, Shen Qingmiao felt very happy and interesting.

Shen Qingmiao had always loved raising small animals, and she still wanted this puppy or kitten. Sometimes, watching these cute little animals playing around would make her feel particularly happy.

This may be the reason why many people like to keep small animals.

"Eat quickly." Shen Qingmiao squatted there and said softly.

Gu Jingyuan didn't stay at the Shen family for too long. After agreeing on the time and place to return with Shen Jianjun, he continued chatting for a while and then planned to leave.

"See you the day after tomorrow." Gu Jingyuan stood up and prepared to leave the Shen family and go back.

Shen Jianjun tried to persuade him, "Captain, are you leaving now? Why don't you stay a little longer?"

Gu Jingyuan rejected Shen Jianjun's attempts to keep him. He should leave after finishing his work.

After hearing the two people talking, Shen Qingmiao walked out of the kitchen and saw Shen Jianjun and Gu Jingyuan walking towards the gate of the yard.

She saw that Gu Jingyuan was about to leave, so she immediately walked out to see him off.

"Gu Jingyuan, you're leaving now. Why don't you stay a little longer?" Shen Qingmiao came to them and said.

Gu Jingyuan smiled and said, "No, I won't stay any longer. It will be dark soon and it will be difficult to return to the county."

The brother and sister's repeated attempts to keep Gu Jingyuan failed. They stood at the door and watched Gu Jingyuan's back as he walked away. Only when he could no longer be seen did the brother and sister walk back into the yard.

After Gu Jingyuan left, Shen Qingmiao asked Shen Jianjun, "Second brother, why did Gu Jingyuan come to see you?"

"The battalion commander asked me if I wanted to go back to the barracks together."

Hearing this, Shen Qingmiao knew that his second brother was about to leave. A strong feeling of reluctance rose in Shen Qingmiao, and he asked in his heart, "Then why are you leaving?"

"Early in the morning the day after tomorrow."

Although I knew that my second brother would leave home, I didn't expect it to come so soon.

Shen Jianjun looked at his sister, who was lowering her head and looked like she was about to cry. He touched the top of her head and said, "It's not like I, your second brother, won't come back. I'll come back during my next vacation. If you miss me too much, you can always visit me at the barracks."

Parting is always sad. Ever since learning that Shen Jianjun was about to leave, Shen Qingmiao has been in a depressed mood.

When Shen's mother and the others saw this, they thought something had happened. When they learned that Shen Qingmiao was unhappy because Shen Jianjun was about to leave, they sighed, "This girl."

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Shen Jianjun was leaving. Shen Qingmiao, who was usually slow to get up, got up early on this day.

Yesterday, Shen's mother and Shen Qingmiao helped Shen Jianjun pack the items he was going to take with him. After Shen Jianjun looked at the items packed by Shen's mother and Shen Qingmiao, he said with a frown, "Mom, Qingmiao, what did you pack? Why did you pack so many things?"

A large package appeared in Shen Jianjun's eyes, which was completely different from what he expected, that it only contained a few pieces of clothes.

Mother Shen said unhappily, "These are all things you need. You're out here alone, so Mom has to prepare a little more for you. There are also steamed buns and fried pickled vegetables for you to eat on the train. Mom has packed them for you separately."

"You're out there by yourself, so take good care of yourself and don't let your family worry, okay?"

As she spoke, Shen's mother's eyes became moist. She knew that she could not stop her son from traveling far away, and she only hoped that he would be safe and sound, and they would be relieved.

Shen Qingmiao couldn't help but say, "Second brother, when you have time, please send a telegram or call home. We will miss you at home."

Shen Jianjun, who was originally in a normal mood, became sad after being teased by Shen's mother and Shen Qingmiao.

"Don't worry, Mom. I will remember everything you said and I promise not to let you worry."

Then he turned to Shen Qingmiao and said, "Qingmiao, you should listen to your parents at home. Don't sneak away to the county. You should be careful and cautious in what you do, and be on guard against others..."

Say everything you can think of.

"Well, I have to go, or I'll miss the train."

At the door, Father Shen was waiting there.
