Wang Jianguo has been specially recruited into the army for several years. Huang Yuelan discovered that not only has Wang Jianguo's temperament changed, becoming more elegant and charming, but even his calligraphy and writing skills have improved day by day, and the letters he wrote are becoming more and more elegant.
The contrast with his previous letters is even more obvious. I think his early letters would never contain words like "a day without seeing you feels like three years have passed". Every time he wrote, he would just describe things directly. Now, every time he writes a letter, he will include famous sayings or ancient poems, which makes his writing very elegant.
It's not that Wang Jianguo deliberately showed off his literary talent, because one can tell from one reading that these were written unintentionally. As the saying goes: A man of culture is naturally elegant. He must have read a lot of books in the army to recharge himself, and his personal cultural literacy has improved a lot.
In the letter, Wang Jianguo not only cared about himself, but also about his children. He asked about their situations and did not forget to share his own situation with Huang Yuelan.
Wang Jianguo introduced his own situation to Huang Yuelan, but he only reported good news and never bad news. He only shared interesting, fun and happy things that happened in the army.
But Huang Yuelan knew that the army not only had high-intensity training, but also had to be self-sufficient in farm work. It was far from the happy and fun scene he wrote about.
How he lived in the army, how much hardship he endured, and how much sweat he shed, probably only he himself knew best.
Huang Yuelan believed that the military leaders were not fools and would not choose a lazy and incompetent person as a platoon leader. A mountain boy with no background like Wang Jianguo must have worked harder than ordinary people to gain the appreciation and promotion of his superiors.
"Hey, what is this? It looks good, but I can't bite it. It tastes terrible. It doesn't seem to be edible." Wang Aiguo said after taking it out of his mouth.
Huang Yuelan looked over and found that her eldest son was holding a colorful bracelet in his hand. It was made of cloth and was colorful and dazzling.
"This is not food, this is a bracelet your father bought for your mother." Huang Yuelan just learned from the letter that the place where Wang Jianguo is currently stationed is where ethnic minorities gather, and the customs and practices there are quite ethnic.
The locals like to use scraps of cloth in various colors to make jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, hats, etc. Wang Jianguo thought they were beautiful, so he bought one for Huang Yuelan, symbolizing eternal love and loyalty.
"Mom, let me give you a taste. The fruits my father sent back are really delicious." Wang Aimin shared some of the delicious food with Huang Yuelan.
Seeing that her son loved her so much, Huang Yuelan's heart as an old mother was immediately comforted and she was deeply moved.
"Thank you, son."
Huang Yueqiang gave the portion to Huang Yuelan, "Sister, this is for you."
I have to say that my younger brother is very thoughtful and has even divided up his own things.
In fact, before she had children, Huang Yuelan also loved snacks very much. But since she had children, and a lot of children, Huang Yuelan thought about saving these rare snacks for her children, and gradually she no longer liked snacks.
Although the children in their family have no shortage of snacks, they are not the type to eat to their heart's content; they have to eat sparingly.
So Huang Yuelan kept her portion and waited until the children had finished eating, then she took out her portion and shared it with the children.
Upon learning that Wang Jianguo was currently stationed in a subtropical area with a lot of mosquitoes, Huang Yuelan prepared to sew some mosquito repellent incense bags for Wang Jianguo and send them to him.
They are located in a mountainous area where there are various vegetation and trees, and of course various herbs.
The herbs needed to make mosquito repellent bags are also relatively common and can be easily found in the mountains here.
Mosquito repellent bags are also very simple to make. Just chop Chinese herbal medicines such as mugwort, cloves, angelica, mint, honeysuckle, etc. into small pieces, mix them together evenly, and put them in a small bag.
Taking advantage of the fact that Yueqiang and Yuehu were on vacation and could stay at home to help look after the children, Huang Yuelan carried a basket and went up the mountain.
There are not many of these herbs nearby, you have to go into the mountains and forests to find more of them.
Huang Yuelan took a hoe and ran for half an hour before she reached the place. When she saw the herbs she needed, she dug them up with the hoe and threw them into the basket on her back.
After digging for a while and having dug up half a basket of herbs, Huang Yuelan found a clean stone to sit down, took out a military green kettle, and prepared to take a break and drink some water.
At this time, footsteps were heard behind her. Huang Yuelan turned around and saw that it was not someone else, but her ex-husband Sun Gousheng.
Although he had a good foundation, he still looked much sloppier than before, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes, but he looked much kinder than before.
Time is really a butcher's knife. In just a few years, he seemed to have aged ten years.
"Yuelan, are you here to dig herbs?" asked Sun Gousheng.
Huang Yuelan: "Yes, come and collect firewood!"
Sun Gousheng smiled and nodded, "Well, do you want me to help you pick herbs?"
Huang Yuelan found that Sun Gousheng had changed. Not only did he look kinder and no longer as unruly as before, he also knew how to help others and do work.
Before, he didn't even work and would only eat when meals were brought to him, being a very chauvinistic man. But now he has come to the mountain to collect so much firewood and speaks in a much more gentle manner. He has really changed.
Huang Yuelan would not let him help her collect herbs, not to mention that she had almost collected all the herbs. Even if she had just started collecting, she would not let him help. The relationship between the two of them was special and they had to be cautious. Even if they were not related to each other, if others knew that he helped her collect herbs, gossip would spread.
"I've almost finished collecting, no thanks." Huang Yuelan said with a smile.
Sun Gousheng smiled, then carried the firewood down the mountain.
He is now the father of two children, a boy and a girl, but neither of them is his biological child, they were brought up by the widow he married.
After all, his inability to have children was well known, so no young lady was willing to marry him. In addition, due to his previous deeds, he had a very bad reputation. Now he felt lucky to be able to marry a widow and not be alone until old age.
After seeing Huang Yuelan, Sun Gousheng's heart was filled with regret for what he had done.
He clearly had the best girl at the beginning, but he ruthlessly abandoned her. He ruined a good hand of cards.
Who can be blamed for the situation now? This is what people often call karma!
Yuelan, no matter what, you are the best girl I have ever met, and you will always be my favorite in my heart.
Blame me for not knowing how to cherish you in this life. I will love you well in the next life. I wish you happiness forever.
Huang Yuelan dug for a while and picked most of the herbs. She saw dark clouds sinking in the sky and spreading down the mountain, and she knew that the situation was not good.
Huang Yuelan has been here for more than a day or two. Seeing this situation, she knew that it would rain soon, and it would be heavy rain. Huang Yuelan picked up the hoe and started to hurry back.
After rushing for a long time, I finally got home before it rained.
