The August nights are exceptionally cool. A gentle breeze blows, and the crescent moon peeks shyly out from behind the clouds.
Playful fireflies danced among the grass.
Jiang Jinxiu, who should have been asleep long ago, was lying in bed now, but for some reason, she couldn't fall asleep.
She misses Gu Xichen.
It's been almost a month since Gu Xichen returned to the team, and he hasn't sent back a single letter.
She missed him, missed him so much.
She wanted to tell her that their house was going to be demolished and rebuilt, and that her two older brothers were helping.
My two sisters-in-law were also helping out.
Although the Gu family has separated now, they seem to be more harmonious.
She wanted to share her joy and the little things in her life with him.
"Orange, why hasn't Xichen written to me in so long? Is he still on a mission?"
Jiang Jinxiu lay on the bed, propping her fair face up with her hands, swinging her toes, and looked at the oranges on the table, asking a question.
"Meow meow meow..." Master, do you miss the male master? He doesn't write to you, but you can write to him.
A single word awakened me from my dream.
“Oh right, I can write him a letter,” Jiang Jinxiu murmured.
She jumped out of bed, picked up a piece of paper, and began to write fluently.
I wrote five or six pages in one go before stopping.
It was already four in the morning.
She carefully placed the letter into the envelope and hugged it as she fell asleep.
The first thing Jiang Jinxiu did after waking up the next day was to go to town to mail a letter.
Jiang Jinxiu had just finished packing her things and was about to leave when she heard someone calling her name outside the door.
"Is Jiang Jinxiu here? Does Jiang Jinxiu live here?"
"Yes, what can I do for you?" Jiang Jinxiu went out upon hearing the voice.
Upon seeing that it was a deliveryman, I was very excited.
There must have been a letter from her; I wonder if it was from Gu Xichen.
"Postman, is there any mail for me?"
"have."
Jiang Jinxiu jumped up excitedly as soon as she saw the mailing address.
"Third Sister-in-law, whose letter is it that makes you so happy?" Gu Xilan asked with a puzzled look.
"No need to guess, it must be the third brother's," Sun Xiaomeng said jokingly.
Jiang Jinxiu nodded, a rare sight of her shy expression.
He was radiating joy.
"Meow meow meow..." Master, what did the male master write?
"It didn't say much, it just said it meant you missed me." After reading the letter, Jiang Jinxiu pressed it to her chest, smiling happily and sweetly.
"Orange, let's go to Yunnan Province. Xichen has finished his mission and returned to the team. It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, let's go and give him a surprise."
"Meow meow meow..." Okay, okay, Master, come over, the male master will definitely be very happy.
Jiang Jinxiu went out carrying Chengzi and just then saw Xiao Hei returning with a rabbit in its mouth.
She handed the rabbit that Xiao Hei had caught to Yang Dongmei: "Mother, I'm going to Yunnan Province."
Yang Dongmei thought Gu Xichen had written to Jiang Jinxiu asking her to go with the army, and stared at her blankly: "Are you going with the army? Is the house still going to be built?"
If Jiang Jinxiu goes to join the army, she will come back less often, so whether or not to build a house seems less important.
Jiang Jinxiu knew she had misunderstood: "Mother, isn't it almost the Mid-Autumn Festival? I want to go and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Xichen, so I'll go see him and come back. The house still needs to be built."
Jiang Jinxiu was thinking about Gu Xichen, which made Yang Dongmei very happy. However, the thought of Jiang Jinxiu going to such a far place on her own made Yang Dongmei very worried.
After all, the farthest they had ever been was to a town; she had never even been to the city.
"Third brother's wife, how can you go to such a far place by yourself? Why don't you have the eldest or second brother take you there?"
It's always better to have someone with you than to be alone.
Jiang Jinxiu shook her head and refused: "Mother, no need, I'll take Chengzi with me."
Yang Dongmei's eyes widened: "Are you kidding me? What good is a cat?"
"Mom, have you forgotten? Orange helped me catch bad guys before."
Orange has a strong sense of perception, can speak animal language, and is also very powerful in combat. It can be both salty and sweet, so carrying it with you is the safest thing to do.
"Meow meow meow..." I'm very powerful.
Orange chimed in, but unfortunately Yang Dongmei couldn't understand.
She was still worried. She glanced at the orange, then at the little black dog wagging its tail on the ground: "Why don't you take the little black dog with you?"
In her opinion, Xiao Hei was much more reliable than Chengzi.
After all, she had witnessed Xiao Hei protecting its master with her own eyes.
Jiang Jinxiu looked at Xiao Hei for a while, then pondered, "Mother, I won't take Xiao Hei with me. Let him stay home and guard the house. If you want to eat any wild game, just tell him; he can basically understand. If anyone bullies you, just call Xiao Hei to help. You don't need to do it yourself; it's not good to get hurt."
As she spoke, she squatted down and patted Xiao Hei's head: "Xiao Hei, you stay home and help guard the house. Don't let outsiders bully our family. Understand?"
"Woof woof woof..." Little Black responded.
Just as Jiang Jinxiu was about to go out to find the village chief to get a letter of introduction, she heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from afar.
Gu Xilan rushed in from outside, excitedly saying, "Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, shocking news! The militia is parading two educated youths through the village. I heard they were caught doing *that* on the mountain yesterday."
Gu Xilan smiled with a smug look on her face.
Of all the people at the educated youth settlement, she disliked Liu and Song the most.
Both of them came to her third sister-in-law, asking her to divorce her third brother.
None of them are good.
Jiang Jinxiu watched the parade procession approaching, a hint of vengeful pleasure in her eyes.
