Su Xieqiu washed his hands and quickly ran over to open the door.
As soon as Han Zhenyu entered the yard, he looked at her and said, "Wife, I have to go to Hai City on a business trip tomorrow. This round trip may take more than ten days."
Su Xieqiu was about to go to the kitchen and looked at him in confusion. "I know. Wasn't your business trip already arranged?"
She pointed to the kitchen and said, "I'm preparing some dry food for you on the road. Go and see what else you want to eat."
Han Zhenyu thought to himself, he really didn’t care about eating, he just wanted to sleep now.
But it's only noon now, and my wife will definitely be angry and embarrassed if I say this.
He could only swallow his words and prepare to finish the work as quickly as possible so that he could go to bed and rest early in the evening.
Han Zhenyu followed Su Xieqiu to the kitchen, where a basket of his favorite salt and pepper biscuits was placed on the chopping board.
Each pancake is covered with a lot of sesame seeds, which makes people's appetite whet at the sight. There is also a pile of pancakes next to it.
Su Xieqiu mixed the pickled shredded radish, took a pancake, rolled some shredded radish in it and gave it to Han Zhenyu, "You must be hungry, have a pancake first."
Han Zhenyu took it and took a bite. "Wife, don't bother so much next time. Just make some pancakes. We will stop to eat on the way."
"There are few restaurants nowadays and they are closed at night. How can it be as convenient as you say?" Su Xieqiu put the shredded radish into a clean canning bottle and started to cook the mushroom sauce.
"Hurry up and eat and help me light the fire. I'll make you some whole grain vegetable pancakes in the afternoon. You can eat them on the way to avoid getting a sore throat."
Han Zhenyu couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he saw how thoughtful his wife was about him and how much she cared about him.
He kissed Su Xieqiu on the face and said, "Wife, you are so nice."
"Of course I have to be nice to you, because you are the one I decided to spend my life with."
Su Xieqiu tilted her head and smiled at him, "I have to keep you in good health. When we retire, I will ask you to take me to travel."
Han Zhenyu felt that such a scene was beautiful whenever he thought about it, and he couldn't wait to take his wife with him and go there right away.
But he knew he couldn't do that. He hadn't bought a big house for his wife yet, and he hadn't earned enough money, so he couldn't give her a better life now.
He held Su Xieqiu's face in his hands and promised gently, "Okay, as long as it's somewhere you want to go, I will accompany you to the ends of the earth."
The couple was looking at each other affectionately when, at this moment, a disappointing voice was heard outside the door.
"Brother Zhenyu, there is a letter for you." It was the voice of Zhao Yingchao from the Youth League Institute.
Last time, he helped Su Xieqiu and Miao Lili to meddle in other people's business, and Han Zhenyu thanked him specially afterwards.
Zhao Yingchao often came here to find Xiang Guoqiang and Luo Jie, and he often met them and gradually became familiar with them.
Han Zhenyu is a few years older than Zhao Yingchao. That boy is sweet-talker and knows how to behave. He calls Zhao Yingchao brother as soon as they meet.
Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu had a good impression of him and were happy to interact with him.
"I'll go out and take a look." Han Zhenyu said and walked out.
Zhao Yingchao held several letters in his hands, some from Xiang Guoqiang and some from himself, and Han Zhenyu had two.
"Come over to my house and sit for a while." Han Zhenyu took the letter and greeted him with a smile without even looking at who it was from.
Zhao Yingchao raised the letter in his hand and said, "Brother, I won't go. I still have to deliver a letter to Xiang Guoqiang."
"Wait a minute then." Han Zhenyu went to the kitchen and brought him two salt and pepper biscuits. "Come over and play when you're free."
"Okay, thank you brother." Zhao Yingchao didn't hesitate, took the two pancakes with a smile, and went to Xiang Guoqiang's yard.
Han Zhenyu closed the door and took a look at the two letters. Both were addressed by the Northwest Military Region and signed by Gu Fangxun.
Han Zhenyu immediately opened one of the letters, which was dated a month ago.
The letter was a report of safety, saying that he had safely arrived in the northwest. It consisted of only a few short lines and seemed to have been written in a hurry.
I wonder if it was delayed on the way? I just received it now.
The second letter was written half a month ago. This letter was much more detailed and written in the tone of a friend. He was very cautious and did not mention the two children in either letter.
Han Zhenyu breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't received any letters from Gu Fangxun during this period, and he was quite worried. Now that he knew that he was safe, he felt relieved.
Seeing that he looked relieved, Su Xieqiu asked, "Is it a letter from Comrade Gu?"
Han Zhenyu nodded and handed the letter in his hand to Su Xieqiu, "It's been more than a month since the first letter. It's been a long time since you left."
Su Xieqiu quickly read the two letters and sighed, "The Northwest is too isolated. Judging from the address above, the military region where Comrade Gu is located should be very remote. It's good enough that the letter was received smoothly."
She folded the letter and handed it to Han Zhenyu, "Go write a reply to Comrade Gu, so that he won't get worried if he doesn't receive the message."
"Okay, I'll write it right away." Han Zhenyu walked to the kitchen door, thought for a moment, turned back and asked, "Wife, do you want to tell him about what I met on the farm, about his sister and his brother-in-law?"
Su Xieqiu pondered for a moment, "If Comrade Gu knew about this, he would probably feel more at ease, but this matter cannot be said openly, you have to organize your words."
"Wife, I understand."
Su Xieqiu reminded him again, "I think Comrade Gu should know the whereabouts of his sister. He grew up in a compound in Beijing City. How could he not have a few good friends? I'm afraid someone has already found out about these things for him. You just need to inform him tactfully that she is safe."
"Wife, you are smart. I didn't think of these things. How about I help you light the fire first, and then we can write a letter to Comrade Gu together."
Han Zhenyu picked her up with a smile, ready to take advantage of the opportunity, but was slapped away by Su Xieqiu.
"Go and write your letter. I don't need your help here."
The man who didn't get the advantage felt a little regretful, but he had no choice but to go back to his room and write a letter.
Because Han Zhenyu was leaving on a business trip tomorrow, Su Xieqiu felt reluctant to let him go. The couple did not go out in the afternoon, but sat on the kang, reading and cuddling with each other.
Han Zhenyu held Su Xieqiu in his left hand and a book in his right hand.
“Wife, I have already made an agreement with the county school. When I return from Hai City, I will take the exam. If I can successfully obtain the diploma, I will try the high school questions next year?”
Su Xieqiu lay in his arms and turned a page of the English book in his hand. "It's still several years before the college entrance examination. Don't be too anxious. Let's take it slow."
She used to worry that Han Zhenyu would not pass the exam, but now seeing how hard he is working, she feels a little distressed.
Han Zhenyu said: "Wife, I want to get my high school diploma as soon as possible. After all, I am not young anymore. After I finish these exams, I will study English with you at home."
"You're only 21 this year, how old are you?" Su Xieqiu smiled and comforted him, "You'll be only 31 when you graduate from college, which is the best time of your life. By then, we can work hard together and we will definitely live a good life."
Han Zhenyu hugged her, feeling so happy that he was about to burst into bubbles.
He put the book aside, quietly put his hand into Su Xieqiu's clothes, and with the other hand he held up his head and pressed his lips down.
"Wu...wu...what are you doing...in broad daylight."
Su Xieqiu's voice was intermittent, and soon turned into a groaning sound.
