Sometimes when she went down the mountain, she would meet Deng Jinbo, but the two were not very familiar with each other. They just greeted each other and went home.
What she didn't know was that every day Deng Jinbo would follow her into the mountains only after seeing her go in, for fear that the little girl would encounter some danger in the mountains.
He didn't know why he did this, but when he sneaked up behind her and saw her joy when she caught her prey, he would feel happy too.
He had never felt this way before, so he just thought that he was just a little interested in the girl and would return to his normal state after a while.
He is about to go back to the army, and we won't be able to see each other then, and he won't be the same as he is now.
On the ninth day of the New Year, Deng Jinbo packed up and prepared to return to the army. Aunt Guihua was actually reluctant to let her youngest son go on such a long journey again, but thinking that this was something her son liked, she could only help him pack some things and asked Uncle Deng to borrow an ox cart to take the bus to the commune and then to the county to catch the train.
After Deng Jinbo left, everyone's life returned to normal. At the end of the month, the snow in the village melted, and everyone started to work on plowing the land, fertilizing and weeding the wheat.
Tong Yiya would also go to the fields from time to time. Anyway, most of the medicinal herbs in the mountains had just begun to sprout, so they were not easy to find now. She would have to wait for a while, and then she would go to dig them up again, when they would be much easier to find.
Next, the village should plant corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes before the spring rain season so that they will germinate quickly and have enough water, and the food will grow faster.
The people in the village were working and didn't think about anything else, but Deng Jinbo, who had returned to the army, always thought of the little girl in the village who aroused her curiosity during her rest time.
She kept thinking about him more and more, so she had no choice but to write a letter home and casually asked Tong Yiya at the end.
But it would take more than half a month for the letter to be sent to the commune and then back. He had no way of getting any news about that person, so he could only focus on his training every day and try to keep himself busy so that he would have no time to miss her.
After Tong Yiya finished the spring planting, she started to go around the mountains every day, digging herbs and picking mushrooms. She caught a lot of various mushrooms that grew in this season, and dried the ones she couldn't finish when she got home.
Aunt Guihua also received a letter from her youngest son. The couple were wondering why this boy was so homesick after coming back. They hadn't received a letter from him for half a year before, but now he had a letter sent back after joining the army.
After opening the letter, they saw that the first part was just chatting about family matters, and the last part inexplicably asked about Tong Zhiqing. The two of them didn't think much about it and just thought that the child missed them. As for asking about Tong Zhiqing, they thought he only asked because the two families had a good relationship.
Aunt Guihua prepared some things, packed them up and sent them out together with the letter.
When Deng Jinbo received the letter, he had already returned from a one-month mission. Hearing that there was a letter for him at the guard post, he happily went to get it. When he opened it in his dormitory, his mother only asked him how he was doing in the army and what he had brought for her. As for the girl, she only said, "Tong Zhiqing is doing well."
After reading it, he felt a little disappointed. He didn't reply to his hometown immediately, and didn't even open the package his mother sent. He lay on his bed and thought about the figure in his mind. It had been so long that the figure in his mind was a little fuzzy.
After lying down for a while, he sat up, but felt that he couldn't go on like this, so he picked up his hat and went out for training.
After a while, he told his good brother in the army about his feelings, and his words woke him up.
His good brother already has a girlfriend in his hometown. Now he is waiting for his military rank to be promoted so that he can bring his family with him. Then he will go back to get a marriage certificate with her.
So after hearing what he said, his good friend smiled and said, "You, you are attracted to the girl, aren't you?"
"Impossible, I haven't even spoken to her for a few words, how can I say that I'm attracted to her?" Deng Jinbo said
"So tell me, after you come back, do you think of her from time to time, and sometimes you even laugh when you think about her?" asked the good brother.
"That's true, but at most I'm just interested in her. How can that prove that I like her?" Deng Jinbo still didn't want to believe that he fell in love with Tong Yiya.
"Since you don't want to believe it, I won't say any more." Seeing that he was still unwilling to believe his heart, the good brother didn't say anything else.
After Deng Jinbo returned, he thought about it carefully. He felt a little confused for a moment, thinking that he had never missed someone this way before.
Later, he would train until very late every day and would come back to rest only after he was very tired, just to get that figure out of his brain.
But it ended in failure in the end, because no matter how tired he was every day, as long as he lay down on the bed, he would still think of that person.
Finally, he had to face his own heart. It seemed that he really fell in love with her. He didn't know when it started, maybe from the first time he accidentally saw her cute face changing, or when he followed her to the mountains every day and saw her smile when she caught prey.
Anyway, he fell in love with her, but he knew that in the girl's heart, he was probably just a stranger whom she had met a few times.
He didn't know what to do for a moment, and finally had to ask his good brother for advice.
When his good brother heard that he had faced up to his love, he laughed for a while before saying, "You have come to this day too. You used to see me writing letters to my girlfriend and said that we were bored with each other. Well, you are not bored with each other. What are you afraid of? Let's talk about it when you have time and go back on vacation."
"Please help me think of a solution as soon as possible. I finally like someone, you don't want me to miss it like this, do you?" Deng Jinbo said
"Okay, okay, actually, didn't you say that your mother has a very good relationship with her? Why don't you tell your mother about your feelings, and then ask her to help you keep an eye on it. If there is anything, she can just write to you.
As for your feelings, you can only tell her in person, and you can only wait until you go back on vacation next time." The good brother analyzed
Deng Jinbo thought about it and decided that this was the only way for now. He then dragged his teammates who had gone out to buy daily necessities to help him bring back some food that the little girl liked. He would then send it back together with the letter and ask his mother to find an excuse to deliver it to the little girl.
So after he returned, he stayed up half the night to write a letter to his family. In the letter, he expressed his love for Tong Zhiqing, but hoped that his family would keep it a secret and he would confess his feelings to them in person after he returned.
He also hopes that his parents can help take care of the little girl and make sure she is not bullied. He will also write back often, hoping that his parents can tell him some news about Tong Yiya.
