It was past 12 o'clock in the evening when Lin Yuexi finished making the cotton-padded clothes. She wanted to send the clothes over, but Lu Cheng would not let her go no matter what he said, and he rushed to deliver the clothes to Zhou Ruiyuan and his wife.
When Zhou Ruiyuan put on the cotton-padded jacket made by Lin Yuexi, he immediately felt a warmth in his heart. It was not just physical warmth, but he was also moved by the delicate care.
He stroked the cotton coat. Although it looked worn out on the outside, the new cotton inside was soft and fluffy, and every stitch and thread contained Lin Yuexi's love.
"Lu Cheng, thank Yue Xi for me. Even though we are in this state, she still cares about us. Qiao Yun and I will remember this kindness."
Zhou Ruiyuan's voice trembled slightly, and tears of emotion flashed in his eyes.
Lu Cheng nodded slightly and said, "Professor Zhou, don't say that. Yuexi and I know that you are innocent. If you and Sister Qiaoyun have any difficulties in the future, just tell us."
On the way back from the cowshed, Lu Cheng felt a little heavy.
He looked at the stars in the night sky, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. On the one hand, he was proud of Lin Yuexi's kindness and thoughtfulness;
On the other hand, she was worried that her actions would bring unnecessary trouble to herself and her family.
After all, in this special era, any small action may be magnified infinitely.
When she got home, Lin Yuexi was still awake. She sat on the edge of the bed, a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Lu Cheng, how is it? Do they like it?"
Lu Cheng walked forward and gently held her hand. "They like it. They are very touched. However, Yuexi, we should be more careful when doing these things in the future. I am afraid..."
Lin Yuexi leaned in Lu Cheng's arms and said softly, "I know, but I still can't bear to see good people like Professor Zhou suffer."
After they hugged each other for a while, they lay down to rest. However, Lu Cheng did not sleep well that night.
Two days later, the renovation of the old house began. Lu Cheng went to see it from time to time, and everyone was very respectful to him.
That day, Lu Cheng had just come back from a walk around the old house when a few familiar faces suddenly appeared at the door.
"Captain, we heard you were at home, so we came to see you..."
When Lu Cheng heard this, he thought, good boy, the soldiers he led are really good, they even chased him home.
"Lu Chenhui, Liao Tiancheng, Zhang Yunlang, Li Yuanhang..." Lu Cheng's eyes were shining with surprise and excitement. He patted everyone's shoulders vigorously and said in a trembling voice: "How did you guys find this place!"
Lu Chenhui's face was full of smiles, his eyes full of longing and respect for the battalion commander. He held Lu Cheng's hand tightly and said, "Battalion commander, as soon as we heard that you were home, we couldn't wait to rush here. We were looking forward to seeing you again every day in the army, and our hearts were like being scratched by a cat!"
Liao Tiancheng echoed from the side, his eyes slightly red: "Yes, Battalion Commander! Since you left the army, everyone feels empty. This time we finally have the opportunity, even if the journey is long, we must come to see you."
Zhang Yunlang straightened up, saluted Lu Cheng with a standard military salute, and said loudly: "Battalion Commander, in our hearts, you have always been our role model and backbone. This time, I came here just to get together with you and listen to your teachings."
Li Yuanhang took out a package from behind and handed it to Lu Cheng, scratching his head a little embarrassedly: "Captain, this is some local specialties that we pooled our money to buy. I don't know if you like it. I just want to express our gratitude."
Lu Cheng looked at these soldiers who had once fought alongside him, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
He took the package and nodded vigorously: "Okay! Okay! I'm so happy to see you! Come on, come in and sit down, let's have a good chat!"
So Lu Cheng took out the fruits and other things that Lin Yuexi had taken out from the space from the kitchen cabinet, and started chatting with them while eating.
When Lin Yuexi brought Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun back home, she was a little shocked. These soldiers had emptied her entire cupboard, especially the two jars of wine boiled with spiritual spring water and ginseng prepared for Lu Cheng, all of which went into the stomachs of the five of them.
It really fits the poem:
When we separated from each other in the army, we met again today with great joy.
Old memories come flooding in like waves, my passion for you remains the same.
He patted my shoulder and asked me about the things in the camp with a smile, and held my hand and talked happily about the customs outside the Great Wall.
Thousands of cups of fine wine are not enough to satisfy my desire, but my heart will always remember the friendship of my comrades.
However, the five of them still paid attention to hygiene and did not throw the melon seed shells and fruit peels everywhere.
Seeing Lin Yuexi come in, everyone called her sister-in-law, and they were all embarrassed by their own gaffe. Lu Cheng also knew that he was too unrestrained today, and quickly cleaned up the mess on the table.
Fortunately, Lin Yuexi had been a spy in her previous life, so she understood their comradeship and did not mean to blame them. She just said,
"Since everyone is here, let's rest here for a night and leave tomorrow!"
Everyone was happy when they heard it!
Lin Yuexi prepared a sumptuous lunch for everyone. Several people clamored to repay Lin Yuexi's hospitality and went to the back mountain to hunt two prey to thank Lin Yuexi.
Lin Yuexi smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then you have to kill a few more to make us happy too."
Lu Chenhui and others immediately agreed, took their hunting gear and headed for the back mountain.
Lu Cheng was a little worried, so he followed them.
Lin Yuexi prepared some side dishes at home, waiting for them to come back with their prey to make a big meal.
A few hours later, Lu Cheng and his friends returned with a full load. They had hunted five wild rabbits, seven pheasants and a dozen wild birds, but they didn't hunt any big animals. They felt a little embarrassed when they saw Lin Yuexi.
Lin Yuexi didn't care. In fact, it was enough to kill so many. There were six of them, plus two little guys, and they couldn't finish them all.
She took the prey and went to the kitchen to process it, and Lu Cheng also went over to help.
Seeing this, everyone started to help, and soon, an enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen.
The prey was served and everyone sat around the table, eating the delicious prey and continuing to chat.
Lu Chenhui suddenly said, "Captain, we came here this time because we actually have something to tell you."
Lu Cheng put down his chopsticks and looked at him: "What's the matter? Tell me."
Lu Chenhui looked at the others and said, "Captain, there is an opportunity in the army to participate in a secret training mission. I heard that if you complete it well, you will have a good development in the future. Several of us want to sign up, but we are a little hesitant. We want to hear your opinion."
Lu Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Since it is a secret mission, it must be dangerous, but it is also a rare opportunity. You have to think clearly. Once you sign up, you must go all out."
