The lunch was simple. I made a pot of soup with rabbit bones and mushrooms, fried a large plate of green and red peppers and mushrooms, and smashed a cucumber.
Although there was no meat, Gou Suisui was willing to let Wang Qiaoru add oil to the stir-fried mushrooms. The mushroom soup was already fresh, and with the oil from the rabbit bones, the fragrance spread from miles away.
One of them cooked and the other made the fire, so they didn't ask the little girl Lin Ya to help.
Lin Ya was quite unhappy that she couldn't help, but Gou Suisui and the others smiled and said that Lin Ya was a diligent and virtuous girl.
After dinner, Lin A Niang and Lin Ya finished washing the dishes. Gou Sui Sui and the other two did not rush to do it. After all, they had already cooked, and it was Lin A Niang and the other two who should wash the dishes.
Time passed little by little, and winter was approaching.
In the past two months, although Gou Suisui wrote several letters to Uncle Qian in Hebei Province, each time asking him not to mail too many things, it was never effective and Uncle Qian sent them anyway.
Gou Suisui felt very unhappy. Although the money was no longer sent and the things were only sent once a month, those things were valuable goods.
It is impossible to say that he is not moved. Gou Suisui has even made up his mind that if he has a holiday during the Chinese New Year, he will definitely go to see Uncle Qian.
She also wanted to know the specific situation of her grandparents. Uncle Qian hardly mentioned it in the letter, and even if he did, his descriptions were very vague.
Seeing this, Gou Suisui didn't dare to ask anything in the letter, for fear that someone would catch him and harm him, and might also implicate Uncle Qian.
"Sui Sui, Captain He hasn't been here for a while. Have you guys kept in touch with each other by letter?" Wang Qiaoru came up curiously.
He Nansheng?
When suddenly asked, Gou Suisui calculated that there had been no news since He Nansheng brought them to Lin A'niang's house and proposed to get a marriage certificate with her.
Gou Suisui didn't pay attention to it until Wang Qiaoru reminded him. It was only after she reminded him that he realized that he was still thinking about that serious yet not-so-serious man.
Maybe, what they said about the marriage report was just a spur of the moment thing?
Who would propose marriage after only meeting a few times?
And he just disappeared after he mentioned marriage. Isn't it obvious that he was just teasing her?
Thinking of this, Gou Suisui couldn't help feeling depressed.
Why is she so worried? Maybe he's already making out with another girl.
"No, Captain He and I just met by chance. He just happened to know me and he also knew someone in the village, so he just helped me out. This must be the unity and friendship between them as soldiers of the people, right?"
What Gou Suisui meant was: Don’t think too much, there is really nothing between me and that guy named He.
How could Wang Qiaoru believe it?
"Oh, I see. You're secretly blaming Captain He for not contacting you, aren't you? Didn't you say before that he's retired and is now working for the county transport team? Being a freight driver is quite busy, no easier than being a soldier. You have quotas to complete almost every month. Maybe he was in a rush to get out, so he didn't get in time to contact you?"
As soon as she saw Gou Suisui's pouting expression, she knew that it was impossible for this girl not to miss He Nansheng at all.
After hearing what Wang Qiaoru said, Gou Suisui felt that it made some sense. In this era, there were only a few cement roads, let alone expressways.
If the road is not good, the journey will naturally be long.
Whenever He Nansheng goes out by car, he doesn’t know when he will be back.
"Maybe. Okay, let's not talk about him. I'm going to the county tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?" Gou Suisui quickly changed the subject. If she kept talking about He Nansheng, it would never end.
Wang Qiaoru nodded and said, "I'll go too. I've seen you reading in your room when you have nothing to do lately. It makes me want to buy some books to read."
Gou Suisui nodded. She didn't deliberately remind Wang Qiaoru not to forget to study, but she would often read the textbook.
