Lu Cheng chatted with Xiao Li about the latest situation in the army, from the intensity of training to the use of new equipment, and the two had a great time talking.
Lin Yuexi listened quietly at the side, looking at her husband and children, as well as this lively scene, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
She never thought that after traveling to the 1970s, she would be content with such an ordinary life.
Lin Yuexi thought that maybe it was because she had been alone for too long in her previous life! Only in this life did she want to live the life of an ordinary married couple.
Soon, Aunt Zhang brought a sumptuous meal to the table.
The braised pork was bright red and fragrant, the stir-fried vegetables were fresh and refreshing, and there was a big pot of delicious fish soup. Every dish was full of the taste of home. Everyone sat together and toasted to celebrate.
Lu Cheng picked up the wine glass and said sincerely: "Xiao Liu, Xiao Li, thanks to you this time, otherwise Yue Xi and I don't know how long we will have to toss on the road. Come on, let's drink this glass!"
Xiao Liu and Xiao Li quickly stood up and responded respectfully: "Captain Lu, you are too polite. This is what we should do."
There was constant laughter and joy at the dinner table. Lin Yuexi kept calling out, "Eat more. This is all made specially for you by Aunt Zhang."
The children were also infected by the joyful atmosphere. They ate with gusto and uttered a few childish words from time to time, which made everyone laugh.
After dinner, Lin Yuexi and Zhang Ma cleaned up the dishes and brought out fruits and snacks. Everyone sat in the yard, bathing in the moonlight, eating fruits and chatting.
The moonlight is like water, sprinkling on everyone's face, outlining a warm and beautiful picture.
It was late at night, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Lin Yuexi and Lu Cheng looked at the sleeping children, gently closed the door, and returned to their own rooms.
Lu Cheng gently hugged Lin Yuexi and said with emotion: "I can go home safely, I really don't know how to thank you..."
Lin Yuexi leaned in his arms and whispered, "Why thank me? We are husband and wife. No matter what happens in the future, we will always be together."
The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the house. Lin Yuexi got up early and walked into the kitchen, preparing to make a hearty breakfast for everyone.
After a while, the kitchen was filled with tempting aroma.
Xiao Liu and Xiao Li also got up and were chatting with Lu Cheng in the living room.
Zi Yan and Xi Yun were laughing and playing nearby, and the whole yard was full of life and energy.
After breakfast, Xiao Liu and Xiao Li were reluctant to say goodbye. Lu Cheng handed them the written note and reminded them to be careful on the road again.
Lin Yuexi took out some snacks and specialties from the space and stuffed them into their bags, saying, "Eat them on the way. This is a little token of our appreciation."
As Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi waved goodbye to the two soldiers, the jeep slowly drove away, raising a light cloud of dust.
Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi turned around and led the children into the yard. The sun shone on them, making them feel warm.
After that, it seemed that there was only one top priority in Lin Yuexi's world, and that was to quickly restore Lu Cheng's body to its original state.
She resolutely put her plan to work at the county hospital on hold and focused entirely on Lu Cheng's recovery.
Every morning, before the first ray of sunlight completely penetrated the window, Lin Yuexi would get up quietly, for fear of disturbing Lu Cheng who was still sleeping.
She quietly entered the space and carefully selected various precious herbs and the freshest ingredients.
After returning to the real world, she plunged into the kitchen and focused on making nutritious porridge and herbal soup.
When cooking porridge, she kept her eyes fixed on the stove and stirred it gently with the spoon in her hand from time to time to ensure that every grain of rice was cooked soft and glutinous and every bit of nutrition was integrated into the porridge.
The preparation of herbal soup is even more particular. She strictly controls the heat and time, and patiently waits for the essence of the herbs to be slowly released.
Lu Cheng looked at Lin Yuexi's busy figure and was deeply moved.
As for Lin Yuexi's medical skills and her ability to create new and strange things out of thin air, he was no longer surprised.
Recalling the time on the battlefield when he was half asleep and half awake, Lin Yuexi conjured up heavy machine guns and machine guns out of thin air, Lu Cheng had already gotten used to it.
The days passed quietly under Lin Yuexi's careful care, and Lu Cheng's body gradually became stronger.
He was no longer satisfied with just pacing slowly in the yard, and began to do some simple exercises with Lin Yuexi, such as practicing Tai Chi in the morning sun to stretch his muscles, or getting up to do some simple training.
Time flies and it is already the end of November.
During this period, Wang Lijuan and Lu Jianmin were filled with anticipation for the Gastrodia elata harvest.
Since the beginning of spring, they have been working hard in the Gastrodia elata field, from turning the soil and sowing seeds to careful care, and the couple has devoted all their efforts to every step.
Gastrodia elata likes a cool and humid environment, so they always pay attention to weather changes. When the weather is too dry, Lu Jianmin carries water for irrigation;
When heavy rain occurred, Wang Lijuan was extremely anxious. She and Lu Jianmin worked together to shelter the Gastrodia elata from rain and drain water, for fear that these treasures would be damaged in the slightest.
Finally, the harvest season has arrived.
When harvesting Gastrodia elata, Wang Lijuan carefully cleared the soil and gently held the Gastrodia elata in her hands, as if she was holding precious treasures.
Lu Jianmin stood aside, his eyes full of nervousness and anticipation, carefully checking the quality of each piece of Gastrodia elata.
That day, they happily brought their harvested Gastrodia elata to the county town and sold it to Bencao Yiyuntang. When Wang Lijuan received the 1,200 yuan payment, her hands trembled with excitement. She and Lu Jianmin smiled at each other, and the smile was full of joy of hard work being rewarded, and her mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear.
With the money in hand, the two of them discussed and decided to buy some nourishing ingredients at "Bencao Yiyutang" and go visit Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi.
They had heard that Lu Cheng had been injured in the army and had returned, so they were very worried about him and had visited him several times.
But at that time, Gastrodia elata had not yet been harvested, and the family was financially tight, so they couldn't afford to buy anything expensive, so they could only bring some potatoes and sweet potatoes from their own home.
This time was different. They selected the best nourishing ingredients such as wolfberries and red dates, hoping to help Lu Cheng replenish his body.
The two of them came to Lu Cheng's house carrying large and small bags and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and Wang Lijuan's eyes warmed when she saw Lu Cheng and Lin Yuexi. She said quickly, "We've finally harvested the Gastrodia elata. We're here to see you. These ingredients are for Lu Cheng to nourish his body!"
Lin Yuexi hurriedly welcomed Wang Lijuan and Lu Jianmin into the house. While enthusiastically taking the large and small bags from their hands, she smiled and said, "You are so polite. You came all the way here to bring so many things. Come in and sit down. It's very cold outside."
Lu Cheng also greeted the two with a smile, "Jianmin, Lijuan, come in quickly, we should not be so formal as a family."
