Three days later, He Hua was discharged from the hospital with her medication. It was already noon when she got home.
"He Hua, why are you back again? Didn't you go back to the countryside?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm hungry. Here's a dollar for my meal today."
Sister-in-law He took the one yuan from He Hua's hand and said reluctantly, "Fine, this one yuan will cover your food expenses for three days."
"Okay, can we eat now?"
"Okay, go ahead and eat."
Chen Gang, who had absconded with the money, also returned to Songjia Village. The people at the educated youth settlement were all a little curious to see that he was the only one who had returned.
After putting away his luggage, he lay down on the bed to rest for a while. Then he hurriedly ran to Zou Daying's house and hid nearby to keep watch.
Upon seeing Zou Daying, Chen Gang immediately called out, "Chirp chirp chirp..."
Upon hearing this, Zou Daying wondered if it was Chen Gang returning. She immediately ran out and, seeing that it was indeed Chen Gang, her eyes lit up.
"Brother Chen Gang, why are you only getting back now?"
Chen Gang looked around to make sure no one was watching, then pulled Zou Daying and ran to their old spot, the dilapidated house.
"I missed you, so I came back."
"Hey, Brother Chen Gang, how many days have you been without a shower? You smell."
“I saw you as soon as I got back from the bus, and you complained that I smelled bad.”
"Oh, no, why don't you go back and take a shower first, and we'll meet here tonight?"
"Okay, let me kiss you first."
"Brother Chen Gang, didn't you leave with that bitch He Hua? Why did you come back by yourself?"
"I came back secretly just to see you."
"Hate."
After the two hid behind the tree and kissed and touched each other for more than ten minutes, Chen finally let Zou Daying go, saying, "I'm going back now. See you tonight."
"Okay, Brother Chen Gang."
After the two parted ways, Chen Gang hummed a tune as he returned to the educated youth settlement.
Just then, Liu Chunni ran into Chen Gang on the road. "Hey, Chen Zhiqing, didn't you go home for the New Year? Why are you back so early?"
"Aunt Liu, I came back early because I was worried about the crowds on the bus after the New Year."
"Oh...I see."
When Liu Chunni returned home, Song Weicheng had already brought the package back.
"Mom, the package is here. It looks a bit heavy. Who sent it to you?"
"Isn't it written up there? Can't you read it?"
"Oh, it was sent from Guangdong Province. Did Su, the educated youth, send it to you?"
"Open it and take a look first. Where's your wife?"
"She went to visit the educated youth settlement, let's leave her alone for now."
After Liu Chunni and her son opened the package together, a letter was revealed, which she immediately opened to read.
It really was Su Tian who sent it. This makes things much easier.
"Mom, what does it say on it?"
"Go, didn't you write anything?"
Liu Chunni took out the portion that Su Tian had given her, and hid the remaining two portions in her room, planning to take them to the cowshed that night.
"Wow, Mom, this Su educated youth is really generous, sending so much food."
"Mom, why are you and her so close?"
"That's right, look what you have. I don't know the names of these, are they all specialties of Guangdong Province?"
"Yes, that's right. I've rarely seen these things even when I work in the black market."
This rice cake is huge, it must weigh two pounds! And this sausage... I've never seen rice cake before. Let's stir-fry the sausage tonight.
"Why bother? Let's do it during the New Year. New Year's Eve is the day after tomorrow, so don't rush it."
Don't these pastries look expensive? And these candies too, this girl is so thoughtful.
"Mom, I'll take a packet and open it to try."
"Let's open it up and eat together. Your wife can also try it when she gets back later."
"Isn't she pregnant? Leave these snacks here for her to choose from, then I'll put them away for the New Year. I'll take the rice cakes and sausages back to my room first."
Liu Chunni happily put these things in her room, and after putting them away...
She was thinking about what she should give the girl when she came back for the New Year.
"Son, do you have any dried fish or anything like that? Bring a few back with you, for Su Tian."
"Yes, there are big dried fish. I'll take a look when I go out tonight."
"good."
Song Zhe, who was in a neighboring city, also went to the camp gate to pick up the package. Seeing the address on it, he confirmed that it was sent by his daughter.
After receiving the package, Song Zhe opened it, took out a bag of almond cookies, put it on the table, and said happily, "I'll eat these when I change shifts."
After saying that, he smiled and carried the package to his dormitory.
"Oh, who sent it to you? Your parents?"
"no."
"Did Su Zhiqing send this to you? You've only been separated for a short time, and she's already sending you something?"
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he leaned over to take a look. "So much food? I even sent you canned meat, rice cakes, sausages, candy, and snacks."
"Stop talking nonsense, help yourself if you want to eat, I'll check the letter first."
"Okay, I'll try some of the pastries from Guangdong Province and see how they are."
Song Zhe took the letter, opened it, and sat on the bed to read it.
"Old Song, what did you write? Why are you laughing like that? It used to be so hard to see you laugh!"
Ever since you started dating her, you've been either secretly smiling, lewdly smiling, or laughing wantonly.
"Get lost... I'm laughing normally, you're the one laughing lewdly."
Song Zhe looked at the letter with great joy. The letter was full of Su Tian's longing for him.
After reading the letter, he carefully folded it and placed it under his pillow.
He took out a pen and paper from the drawer and sat down at the table to reply to Su Tian.
"Old Song, how do we eat these rice cakes and sausages?"
"Take it to the mess hall and ask them to make it."
"They even have wife cakes! Let me try one first."
Song Zhe stopped writing, and upon hearing Lu Yu's words, he casually picked up a wife cake and started eating it.
"Isn't this wife cake delicious? Haha..."
Song Zhe finished it in one bite. "Delicious! How could something with 'wife' in its name not be delicious?"
"What else would you like to eat? Take some out, and I'll share it with you later."
"I'll take one canned meat, you can keep the rest."
"good."
Song Zhe continued writing letters, his letters filled with longing for Su Tian.
After he finished writing, he put the letter in an envelope, put it in his pocket, and took out the canned meat and wife cakes.
He wanted to take the rest to his regimental commander and his soldiers to try and show off.
Where are you going?
"I'm going to divide the food, do you want to come along?"
"No, that was your moment of glory, I won't compete with you for it."
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he laughed under the covers. His buddy had become more and more amusing since he started dating someone—amusingly serious.
Song Zhe ignored Lu Yu, who was acting like he was having an epileptic seizure, and went to the regimental commander's house first with his things.
He knocked on the door, and the regimental commander's wife opened it. "Xiao Song, what brings you here?"
"Sister-in-law, I've brought you some things. See what you'd like to eat? I'll take the rest and share it with my soldiers."
