Chapter 19 The Eve of Going to the Countryside



There was no way out, Song Tanglan could only follow their arrangements. The three of them went to the state-owned restaurant to wait for Song Tangqing. When she finally cleaned up and came out, she was holding two lunch boxes in her hands. It seemed that she was packing some food to take home for a snack.

"Mom, sister-in-law and little sister, are you guys out shopping this afternoon?"

Su He watched his third daughter push her bicycle out and said with a smile, "I heard the department store had some dried meat, so I planned to buy some and bring your sister to the countryside to eat."

"So you guys got the message too. I was planning to buy some after get off work!"

When Qiao Yue heard her third aunt say this, she also smiled and said, "By the time you get there, it might be gone. We just bought 5 kilograms, and there are people queuing behind us. You don't know the way they look at us, they wish we would buy less."

"Hahaha, that's good that you bought it. Let's go back then. I even packed some braised pork and spicy chicken so we can have a good meal tonight."

When Qiao Yue heard that two meat dishes were packed, she said with a smile, "Then we're in for a treat tonight."

"Third sister, I can already smell the aroma coming from the lunch box. Let's go home quickly. I'm hungry."

Not sure if it was because the food smelled so good or because she was really hungry, but Song Tanglan felt like she could always smell the fragrance.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go home early." Su He saw that it was getting late and didn't plan to continue chatting. He said hello and prepared to ride back.

When the four of them returned home, Song's father and Song Tanghong had already prepared the meal and were waiting for them. When the three children heard that they would have meat to eat tonight, their eyes sparkled and they couldn't help but stare at the lunch boxes.

However, they did not open it. Instead, they waited for Su He to unload everything and wash his hands. The family sat together before opening the lunch boxes and preparing to eat.

After dinner, the family took turns taking a bath. Su He was helping Song Tanglan pack a package. It was unknown how much was stuffed in the package. It was full, and the package was even bigger than the others.

When Song Tanglan came out and saw such a big package, she was also surprised, but before she could ask, she heard Su He instructing her eldest brother.

"Boss, please send this package tomorrow."

"OK."

Originally, Song Tanglan thought there was only one big package and was somewhat relieved, but then he saw Qiao Yue took out another package. Although it was not as exaggerated as the previous one, it was still quite big.

"Mom, what's in this package, sister-in-law? Why are there so many packages?"

"It's nothing. The big package contains your winter quilt and thick clothes. It gets cold quickly in the north, so you might get cold soon after you go to the countryside. Luckily, the autumn harvest will be over soon after you go, so you don't have to go through the hardships of the harvest right after you arrive. The small package contains everything you need."

After hearing their explanations, Song Tanglan realized that these things were indeed what she needed to bring. Although she had never lived in the north, she knew that the weather there was extremely cold.

If she didn't prepare some thicker clothes, she might not be able to get out of the door.

She also thought of the legendary military coats, but there were no soldiers in the Song family, and the military coats that flowed into the black market were almost all consumed internally, so they could not buy them even if they had money.

To be honest, she is still very lucky. The Song family loves her very much, and the food, drink and expenses she receives are the best the Song family can give. Song Tanglan is also a very contented person.

Just these big packages and the thick clothes prepared overnight made her feel very warm.

What's more, she doesn't need to bring these on the train. It will just be a little tiring to carry the packages, but she can accept that.

There was a big package in Song Tanglan's room that she had packed. It was a bit difficult for her to carry so many things onto the train by herself.

Fortunately, the Song family sent a telegram to Song Tangcheng the next day after they knew she was going to the countryside.

It is definitely too late to send the letter. It will take about 15 days for the letter to reach there. She has to go to the countryside in 10 days. It is possible that the letter will not arrive by the time she arrives!

The telegram only contained a few simple sentences and did not contain a long speech. The Song family felt that it would not be too late to explain to Song Tangcheng after Song Tanglan went to the countryside.

As for Song Tangcheng, who was far away in the Red Star Brigade, when he received the telegram and saw that his younger sister was going to the countryside, he suddenly felt confused and at a loss, thinking that something had happened at home.

Song Tangcheng has never been a person who only reports good news and not bad news. The Song family is very familiar with the situation in the countryside. When he suddenly said that he wanted to go to the countryside, it was inevitable that something might happen.

Whenever Song Tangcheng thought about whether something happened at home, he would become very anxious.

After waiting for another day, I saw a new telegram from my elder brother. The message on the telegram was very simple, with only two words: "Nothing".

Song Tangcheng felt relieved when she heard that everything was fine at home, but then she thought about her younger sister going to the countryside. She was petite and her hands were not even half as strong as hers, so she didn't know if she could adapt to the countryside environment.

However, although she was worried, she couldn't help but feel a little excited when she knew that her little sister would be here in 10 days. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and she was very happy to see her little sister.

Song Tangcheng knew that this matter could not be concealed for long and there was nothing to hide, so she told her mother-in-law and her family about it during dinner and had a brief discussion about it.

Song Tangcheng has a good relationship with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Her parents-in-law have no habit of making things difficult for their daughter-in-law.

In addition, my father-in-law is the team leader, and my younger sister will be under his care when she becomes an educated youth.

What she feared most now was what would happen if her sister was not assigned to their brigade? After all, their brigade selected members at the gate of the commune.
