In the cafeteria, everyone was still discussing how Yu Sui looked good despite being frozen for two hours. When they saw Yu Sui come in, several people waved at her, wanting to ask her to come and talk.
But Guan Changqing helped Yu Sui make the decision: "Everyone, don't call her. She said she's very cold and wants to leave after taking the things."
After saying that, he pulled Yu Sui to a corner of the cafeteria, handed her a net bag filled with three or four things, and asked in a nonchalant manner:
"Hey, Yu Sui, how did you manage to stand outside for so long with a flushed face? You look even better than before. Can you teach me?"
Yu Sui pretended not to hear her and reached out to take the net bag that was handed to her: "This is a nice gift, with bacon, too. Thank you, Sister Guan. But Sister Yan and I should have two, right?"
Guan Changqing had no choice but to hand over another one with a smile on his face.
But this time, she held on to the net bag and didn't let go: "Tell me first, your face...how come it's not frozen?" She even wanted to poke it with her finger.
Yu Sui moved her face away: "Hey, don't, it's freezing! There is a secret to not freezing to death. The secret to wiping your face, the secret to breathing, the secret to your mood, all of which are essential."
Guan Changqing: "Tell me about it."
Yu Sui looked embarrassed: "This... It's not that I can't tell you, but it's dangerous to do this. If you can't do it, you will hurt yourself."
"I'm not afraid. Tell me, am I good or bad, or am I a relative of Xia Linsheng's superior? Why are you so ignorant as to try to please me?" Guan Changqing said in what he thought was a witty tone.
Yu Sui went along with it: "It's not that I don't want to please you, but this is different. It's a secret recipe and I can't tell anyone about it. I'm afraid others will learn it and use it indiscriminately. How about this, I give you this gift of comfort?"
"Who cares? Just tell me quietly. How could anyone else learn this?"
"Then you must never tell anyone that it was me who said that."
"Am I stupid? I won't tell anyone, just tell me."
Seeing that the time was right, Yu Sui leaned close to Guan Changqing's ear and whispered mysteriously:
"First, apply a thick layer of antifreeze. Learn to regulate your breathing, breathe very slowly. Finally, clear your mind. What does it mean to clear your mind? It means that when you feel cold, you must not give up, you must not complain, and you must not harbor any desire to harm others. Just slowly get through it."
Guan Changqing couldn't believe it: "That's it?"
"Ah, that's it! Easier said than done, that's it. The last one is the hardest. It's just like the legendary immortal meditation. You have to have a clear mind, don't you understand?"
"You didn't lie to me?"
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about! Humph, you think I'm lying to you, I'm sorry."
Yu Sui pretended to be angry and strode away.
Poor Ding Lili, she stood up at the long table and waved her hands vigorously. I guess she also wanted to ask how to stay more beautiful when it's cold.
Yu Sui ignored her and went out to find Sister Yan Zi with two large net bags full of things.
There were soldiers in groups of three or four at the door, looking at her curiously and secretly asking whose sister-in-law she was.
Yu Sui didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she covered her face with a scarf, handed the net bag in her hand to Sister Yan Zi, and the two of them headed towards the exit of the family compound.
Sister Yan Zi looked at Yu Sui curiously, but in the end, she didn't ask why Yu Sui's face looked better than when she was not standing in the corner.
Yu Sui walked her to the door and explained:
"These people are so stupid. What secret recipe do I have? I've got naturally good skin, and I've just put on a few extra layers of antifreeze cream. Besides, I'm wearing a thick goose down vest next to my skin. Hiding in this shell of ice and snow, I'm like a penguin, so of course I'm not that cold. Sister Yan, don't make a fuss with them."
Sister Yanzi laughed: "Hahaha, I thought so, but you are still amazing, you can stand still for two hours."
"Actually, I was the one who moved. You weren't watching me all the time. I was just fooling everyone. No, I was just fooling Guan Changqing."
"Anyway, Yu Sui, thank you for your kindness today. It's thanks to you that I was reminded. Otherwise, if I were really chosen to go to the party, not singing would be considered a disruption of unity, and singing would be even more problematic. Sister, we have a long way to go. I'll keep this in mind."
"Sister-in-law, please stop saying that. Don't you often help me? Let's help each other."
"Great!"
Yu Sui saw Sister Yan off at the gate, then turned around and went back to the dormitory.
In such a cold day, the cat must be most comfortable on the kang.
Today is the Little New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the Big New Year's Eve. Xia Linsheng said that after the third day of the New Year, he can stay in the dormitory in the family compound for a day.
That’s New Year’s for both of them!
Yu Sui was very happy when she thought about this. She cooked a bowl of dumplings for herself with great enthusiasm. Just as she was about to sit on the kang and knit a sweater, someone knocked on the door: "Sister-in-law, Captain Xia's sister-in-law, are you there? Go to the dormitory management office to answer a phone call!"
Yu Sui put on her coat and stuck her head out: "Oh, comrade, do you know who's calling?"
"Captain Xia! Go quickly!"
"……oh."
Yu Sui wrapped her coat tightly around her and trotted to the management office. She picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is Yu Sui."
There was no sound on the other end of the line.
Yu Sui: "Xia Linsheng? Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you calling in such a cold weather? Is there anything wrong?"
Finally, a voice came from the receiver.
Huh, your tone is not very friendly.
"I have to make sure you don't sound like you have a runny nose before I dare to speak. Yu Sui, I have a question for you. A comrade called me and told me that today, a female comrade with a family member stood guard outside the cafeteria in Area 2 for two hours out of a bet. Was that you?"
"Uh..." Yu Sui didn't know how to talk nonsense with Xia Linsheng for a moment.
Who is the one who is talking too much? Even for this kind of thing, we have to call the border station to report it.
Xia Linsheng's voice became louder: "Xiaoda, it's not easy for me to make a call here, Xiaoda, is that you?"
Yu Sui: "It's not easy, but you still fight? Let me ask you, a woman told me that she has liked a man in our army for a long time and wants him to break up with his childhood sweetheart and marry her. Is this man you?"
Xia Linsheng was clearly stunned. After a long pause, he finally replied, "...What's the matter? I asked you first! It's so cold, why are you trying to imitate a soldier standing guard? Are you trying to save your life?"
There was a pause, and Yu Sui sensitively caught a hint of something strange.
At least, there is something interesting here.
Yu Sui's voice was much louder than Xia Linsheng's: "Now I'm asking you, Xia Linsheng, you answer me first, are you hiding something from me?"
This time, he answered very bluntly: "I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! Who told you that? This person definitely has bad intentions!"
Yu Sui: "It doesn't matter whether you have good intentions or not. Anyway, I want to know the whole story. Think about what you will say to me next time you see me. If you let me know you are lying, I will leave home immediately and never talk to you again! That's it. I'm fine. If I caught a cold, it would be you who insisted that I get up from the kang to answer the phone!"
After saying that, Yu Sui hung up the phone, and only then did she realize that the young soldier who delivered the message from the dormitory management office was standing behind her.
At this moment, he was curling himself up tightly to reduce his presence.
Yu Sui smiled at him.
Little Soldier: "Sister-in-law is awesome!"
