So Sheng Yi likes both kinds. He'll have a spicy one when he wants something spicy, and he can eat something non-spicy normally.
"We're so great! The jerky we made is so delicious!"
Zhu Qing was pleased to see that he liked the jerky she made, but she couldn't help but ask a question.
"It's just ordinary jerky, is it really that delicious?"
Sheng Yi narrowed his eyes into slits, making an expression of utter ecstasy.
"Yes, Hao Hao's jerky is the best I've ever eaten. Thank you, Hao Hao, I really like it."
"Then eat more. If you finish what you brought, write to me and I'll send you more."
Sheng Yi was eager to exchange more letters with Zhu Qinghao, and he was even happier to hear that she was going to send him something.
"good!"
The thought of the envious and jealous looks he would receive from those men in the army made Sheng Yi feel happy.
Zhu Qinghao had already noticed his unusual joy, and her inquisitive gaze remained fixed on him.
"Brother Sheng Yi, you seem unusually cheerful? Could it be that I've fallen into one of your traps again?"
Sheng Yi quickly composed himself and tried to appear serious.
"How could that be? No, absolutely not."
Zhu Qinghao knew that Sheng Yi would never scheme against her, so she nodded, thinking that she was overthinking things, and simply added more jerky to his plate.
After dinner, Sheng Yi declined Zhu Qinghao's offer to see him off the next morning. He took the dried meat she had prepared and returned to the infirmary, looking back every few steps.
As she watched the tall figure disappear little by little from her sight, Zhu Qinghao was suddenly filled with endless melancholy, feeling an emptiness in her heart.
But as soon as she entered the space and saw the huge amount of food that Sheng Yi had left for her, she felt that the empty space seemed to have been filled up quite a bit.
That night, both of them tossed and turned, unable to sleep, but eventually succumbed to sleepiness and drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, after washing up, Zhu Qinghao waited for Sheng Yi to appear as usual, but soon realized that he was probably already far away.
Meanwhile, Sheng Yi, carrying his bundle, sat on a sled, gradually moving further and further away from the Hongshan Brigade.
At first, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Zhu Qinghao's house, then he could only look back at the village, and later he couldn't even see the village anymore. All he could do was look at the package that Zhu Qinghao had prepared for him in his arms.
It seemed that as long as he looked at these things, Zhu Qinghao was still within his sight, and he felt a surge of warmth throughout his body.
Others may not know how reluctant Sheng Yi was to part with him, but the old man who drove the cattle felt it clearly.
From the very beginning, he noticed that Sheng Yi kept looking back, and even after they had walked to the back of the village and could no longer see it, he was still looking back.
"Dr. Jiang, you must be reluctant to part with your old man, right? Dr. Jiang is so lucky to have such a filial grandson like you."
Even though Grandpa Ma has no descendants of his own, seeing such a fine young man as Sheng Yi makes him feel comforted.
When Sheng Yi heard the question, he smiled slightly without giving a direct answer, but in Old Master Ma's eyes, it was an implicit agreement.
"Dr. Jiang, don't worry too much. The people in the village are all very kind. They even take care of people like us. Dr. Jiang's side will definitely be just as good. Just go and pursue your future with peace of mind."
