Si Yang bought two popsicles, both orange flavored.
Whenever Pei Tingyu eats an orange now, he will think of the first time he snatched candy from Si Yang's mouth.
I'm afraid I'll never forget that feeling in my life.
After they finished eating popsicles, Pei Tingyu took Si Yang to Yangcheng's famous Linhu Park for boating.
The two paid twenty cents for tickets and were taken to the wooden boat by the lake.
Pei Tingyu jumped up first, and Si Yang followed after stabilizing the boat.
Pei Tingyu waited until she sat face to face with him before rowing away from the shore.
Seeing him rowing the boat with great skill, Si Yang couldn't help but jokingly said, "Looks like this isn't your first time, is it?"
Pei Tingyu spoke frankly: "I've been here twice... but both times I was with my comrades."
Si Yang narrowed his almond-shaped eyes, trying to see some hint of lying in his eyes, but there was nothing.
He was very open and frank.
Pei Tingyu rowed the boat to the center of the lake. The pavilion on the shore was reflected in the rippling lake surface, and a slight breeze brought a hint of coolness.
Pei Tingyu's Adam's apple rolled, and he said in a deep voice: "I will leave the Corps and return to the army next week."
Si Yang was picking up fallen leaves from the water. When he heard this, he suddenly sat up straight and asked, "Are you leaving?"
"Well, there is a new task." Pei Tingyu observed her emotions cautiously.
Si Yang did not reveal his attitude. She had expected that a person like him would not stay in the Corps forever.
But when the day of separation really came, it was impossible to say that she didn't feel the slightest bit reluctant.
After all, she is also a human being, and as a human being, she has seven emotions and six desires.
"Then I will try to finish knitting this scarf within a week." She smiled casually.
Pei Tingyu did not catch any sadness in her eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little lost.
"This is for you, a birthday present." A silver chain pocket watch fell into his palm.
Si Yang was stunned for a moment and felt a little surprised.
She took it and opened the pocket watch. On the lid was a photo of the two of them in Beijing.
"You really mean it." She smiled as brightly as the stars.
Pei Tingyu was relieved when he saw that she liked it.
He had this silver chain custom-made in advance by a silversmith. Now the country does not allow private trading of gold, so he chose silver.
"It's getting late, shall we go back?"
Si Yang put away his pocket watch and said, "Well, I had a lot of fun today. It's time to go home..."
When we returned to the Corps, the sun was already setting.
To Si Yang's surprise, Qin Lingxiao and Qin Shiyan were waiting in front of her dormitory door.
Looking at the large and small bags in the two people's hands, those who didn't know would think they were going to buy New Year's goods.
"Yangyang, happy birthday..."
The two brothers placed a pile of gifts on Si Yang's desk, filling it up completely.
"You really don't have to do this. I don't need anything." Si Yang looked at the two embarrassed brothers calmly.
"It's one thing that you don't need it, but what we send you is our heartfelt gift." Qin Lingxiao said.
"I don't need your kindness, just take it away!" When Si Yang was about to return the things to them, Xiangcao and Tie Niu came.
It turned out that Xiangcao knew that today was Si Yang's birthday, so Tu's mother asked them to bring Si Yang home to eat dumplings.
It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation. Before he could deal with the things sent by the Qin brothers, Si Yang was taken away by the Tu brothers and sisters.
Anyway, I had a pretty happy birthday. I hope I can have this day every year!
Pei Tingyu received the latest news from the Bai family after returning to the office.
Mr. Bai profited by replacing ancient paintings with forgeries, repeatedly causing the loss of national cultural relics abroad. He also used ill-gotten gains to buy an official position for his son, a detrimental influence. He has been convicted of being a bourgeois and a traitor, and awaits nationwide criticism and execution.
The account book still couldn't save him.
His eldest son was sentenced to 20 years in prison, and the rest of his family was sent to an island reef under harsh conditions to participate in 10 years of forced labor... This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
