Li Yueniang's affection for her granddaughter is far more devoted than that of Xu Weihua and Su Changqing's parents.
In the original owner's memory, Su Qingci and Su Jindong, the siblings, seemed to have been left to be raised by Li Yueniang after weaning, while Xu Weihua and his wife were busy with their own careers.
So the relationship between the two siblings and their grandmother was incredibly close.
After putting Li Yueniang's letter back, he opened Su Jindong's letter and started reading.
This was the first time Su Jindong had ever written her a letter.
When Su Qingci came to the countryside, Su Jindong had already gone to the army base.
By this calculation, the two have not been in contact for over ten months.
After a simple greeting, Su Jindong explained to Su Qingci why they hadn't been in contact for so long.
First, he was sent to the wilderness and jungle for training as soon as he joined the army, and it was half a year before he came out again.
He finally got to go home to visit his family, but his grandmother refused to give him Su Qingci's address.
At that time, no one knew what would happen next. Su Chang'an kept pestering him, and his grandmother was afraid that if he didn't keep his mouth shut, others would seize the opportunity to do something bad.
When I went home for the holiday, I had to beg my grandma to agree to give me a letter.
He also talked about his miserable life in the army, including half a page of cursing Su Chang'an, which was extremely vulgar.
From the other party's tone, Su Qingci could sense that he must have been completely outmatched and defeated in his contest with Su Chang'an.
However, Su Qingci didn't find it strange.
Su Chang'an is no fool. He is quite cunning and has been two-faced since childhood. He is polite to everyone on the surface, but he can be ruthless in stabbing people in the back.
As for Su Jindong, I don't know who he inherited it from, but he grew up to be a big, uncouth man.
She is easily provoked, and when she gets angry, she utters only two words.
"Get him!"
Because of this personality, he suffered a lot of injustice at the hands of Su Chang'an since childhood.
Of course, most of the suffering was mental and psychological; Su Chang'an suffered even more physical pain.
Now the two have joined the same military unit, and Su Chang'an is still using the title of uncle or elder.
With his father and grandfather as his backers, and the loss of his usual strategist, one can imagine how frustrated Su Jindong must have felt.
Su Qingci couldn't help but smile smugly.
At the end of the letter, Su Jindong said that he had sent her a newly issued military overcoat in the package, and there was 200 yuan that Li Yueniang had given him in the pocket. He didn't need much money in the army, so he gave it all to her.
I asked her if she had any connections here, since she sent so much dried meat and such home, and if she could get some for him too.
At the end of the letter, he left his current military address.
He told Su Qingci to send her reply here, as he was about to return to his unit and probably wouldn't receive it if she sent it home.
After reading the letter, Su Qingci folded it up and put it in an envelope along with Li Yueniang's letter.
Only then did he take a closer look at the package in front of him.
A large, military-green sack, tightly wrapped, with the words "China Post" written on it.
Below are the serial number and year markings.
With a wave of her hand, Su Qingci produced a utility knife. She opened the bag and found a military overcoat inside.
It must have been Su Jindong who stuffed it in.
After struggling to pull out his military overcoat and opening it to take a look, Su Qingci couldn't help but curse him in her heart as a complete idiot.
How can someone who is less than 160cm tall pull off this oversized military coat?
"This must weigh at least seven or eight pounds, right? Like a cotton quilt."
Su Qingci was thrown onto the bed with a thud.
Military overcoats are the most fashionable clothes of our time.
Wearing this on the street will make you the most stylish person there.
However, she thought it was too heavy.
She's wearing thermal underwear underneath, a thin down vest over it, and a cotton coat on top, which is quite warm.
He continued to rummage through his bag, finding a set of sweater and long trousers. He laid them out on his body and traced his figure; they fit perfectly.
Two rolls of light purple yarn, a black wool coat, and a brown one.
The designs are all very stylish, somewhat similar to the trench coats worn by secret agents and underground party members in period war films made in later years.
So cool and stylish.
I fell in love with Su Qingci at first sight; the materials used were all of high quality.
There were many clothes on the farm, but they were all bought according to her figure in her future life.
Back then, she was 1.72 meters tall and liked to wear high heels.
With my current skinny 158cm height, I really can't pull this off. Not only is the style of the clothes unsuitable for the current climate, but even if I dared to wear them out, it would look like a child wearing an adult's clothes.
At the bottom of the package was a bag of White Rabbit milk candy, two rolls of mung bean cakes tightly bound in oil paper, and two packets of soy milk powder weighing one pound each.
Su Qingci twitched her lips. This guy really thinks he's a child.
After sorting and putting everything away, he reached into the pocket of his military overcoat and, sure enough, pulled out 20 ten-yuan bills.
He pocketed the money without hesitation, then weighed the clothes in his hands. They were so big they could drag on the floor if he put them on. He decided to give them to his ancestors to bring honor to the family.
I wonder how many military overcoats Su Jindong has. It's only been a year since he joined the army. I hope he doesn't send any to me and then run out.
Compared to the damp cold of the south, the cold of the north seems to require a military overcoat even more.
Su Qingci was already secretly considering how to return the gift to Su Jindong.
Seeing that it was getting late, I sorted and put my things away, picked up a fresh pig's trotter, a bunch of water spinach, and half a bowl of soybeans from the farm, and hurried toward the security point.
"Wang Guoqing, wash the scallions and garlic, we'll need them later."
"Siqing, is it ready yet?"
"Oh dear Jianjun, turn the fire down, turn it down! Can't you see the vegetables over there aren't chopped yet? The pot's going to burn!"
Su Qingci heard Xiao Yuehua's loud voice even before she entered the door.
No doubt, they're here to freeload a meal.
However, with her in charge of the cooking, the quality of this meal should be elevated to a higher level.
"Xiao Yuehua, you haven't gone back yet?"
Xiao Yuehua grinned and laughed without any hesitation as she listened to Su Qingci's roar.
“Why go back? It’s too lively here. I’m going back with Jianjun this afternoon. It’s such a long way. It’s not safe for a young and beautiful woman like me to walk all that way.”
Su Qingci looked at her figure, which resembled Li Kui.
Yes, it's definitely not safe!
"Oh, you bought meat? That's great, this lunch will be quite a feast."
"Captain Song just brought back fish, tofu, and bamboo shoots, and now he's gone to find meat."
"It's so hard to buy meat these days. Today, the meat stall was practically a frenzy of buying, and I couldn't even squeeze in."
Su Qingci tossed the pig's trotter in her hand to Wang Guoqing, saying, "It's really hard to find. Remember to give me the money for the gift later."
"You and Deputy Captain Song and his wife should calculate it; we'll pool our money to buy the meat for him."
"Hey, there are soybeans! Great! Braised pork trotters with soybeans."
"Hurry up and get it ready. It will take some time to make this dish."
