On his last day in Chengdu, Pei Tingyu went to the military region to make the final handover for his work during that period.
Si Yang took the opportunity to go into the bamboo forest to collect bamboo whips. With Annie's help, she was very efficient.
After spending two hours collecting several varieties of bamboo rhizomes, she found a wild wisteria in the woods that was suitable for transplanting.
Without hesitation, take it away decisively.
There are many tropical flowers and plants growing in the woods of the south. She dug up some of each one that caught her eye and used them to decorate the open space in front of the wooden house.
It was already noon when she returned to the city after leaving the woods. She took the opportunity to go to the market, where there were stalls set up by collectives from the local towns and villages.
Si Yang walked around and saw mostly southern fruits, fresh lychees, cherries, etc. She already had these in her space, so she didn't buy any.
Then I went to the food factory’s store and bought some Chengdu’s specialty pastries.
When she passed by the department store, she went in to have a look. Adhering to the principle of never leaving empty-handed, she took a fancy to two sets of bowls and plates.
One set of white porcelain and one set of celadon, the glaze is smooth, transparent and delicate.
Each set consists of ten plates, ten bowls, ten saucers, and ten spoons.
The small and exquisite tableware of southerners suited her aesthetic taste, and since she didn't have any bowls or plates in her space, she bought them directly.
In the end, she spent two industrial coupons and twenty-six dollars and eighty cents in cash.
The quality of the dishes was considered above average for the price. The salesperson carefully packed her bag, and she carried it back to the guesthouse where she was staying.
Pei Tingyu didn't come back until dinner time, and the two of them went to a wonton shop near the guesthouse to order wontons.
Pei Tingyu needs to eat four taels, but two taels is enough for Si Yang.
Although Chengdu is not as good as Beijing, the streets are still quite lively in the evening.
Although these shops are collective properties of some factories or unit canteens, the store clerks are dedicated and enthusiastic about attracting customers.
After dinner, Pei Tingyu accompanied Si Yang for a walk along the river to help digest the food, and asked her if she had bought anything she liked today.
When he left the guesthouse in the morning, he gave her a hundred yuan and some tickets.
Si Yang said he just walked around and didn't buy anything special. Then she took out his money and handed it back to him.
Pei Tingyu looked displeased, "I've already given it to you, why would I take it back?"
"This is a hundred yuan, are you really giving it to me?"
Pei Tingyu said helplessly: "Even my horse is yours, let alone my money."
Si Yang's smile was as bright as the stars. "That's a nice thing to say. If you can say it, please say more."
"Okay, I'll tell you in bed after we get the certificate..."
The next morning, the two boarded a train out of Chengdu. Pei Tingyu's nearly year-long mission had finally come to an end.
After traveling more than a thousand kilometers, Pei Tingyu first returned to the Yangcheng Military Region to report. He still needs to undergo rehabilitation training for a period of time and is not suitable to return to the army for training for the time being.
He and Si Yang planned to get their marriage certificate and hold their wedding in early August. He would use this time to arrange some wedding matters, such as the wedding venue and wedding room.
He is the regimental commander, and the regimental commander is a cadre at the (regimental) department level. The family members of cadres at the department level are qualified to accompany the army.
So he was allocated a family apartment in the Yangcheng Military Region’s family compound.
Si Yang had something to do back in the Corps, but before that Pei Tingyu took her to see the houses in the military compound.
Normally, one needs to apply for approval to accompany the army, but Si Yang has a special identity, so he used Cheng Guoan's connections to get the key directly.
There is a sentry post at the gate of the compound, so safety is naturally guaranteed. Once you enter the gate, you will find yourself in a complete little world within the high walls.
The hospital is equipped with a boiler room, kitchen, canteen, auditorium, infirmary, and even a kindergarten, and is fully equipped with various living facilities.
A row of two-story buildings made of red bricks stand in an interlaced manner. These are the military family buildings.
Pei Tingyu's room is on the second floor of Building No. 6. He goes up the stairs to the balcony corridor on the second floor, which leads to each household.
Many people were cooking on stoves at their doorsteps. Pei Tingyu brought Si Yang to the door on the far right.
