"Xiao Song, you're here." Zhou Jin came out of the study and called out happily.
"Yes, Commander."
Zhou Jin walked up to Song Zhe and saw the pile of food on the table. "It's all made in Guangdong Province. Did you bring it back from Guangdong a few days ago?"
"No, my partner sent them. Do you need these sausages and rice cakes?"
"Haha... Goodness, you went to your girlfriend's house to freeload, and she sent you so many things."
Is your girlfriend the girl who visited our camp last time?
"It's her, Commander. What do you mean by 'freeloading'? We're family."
"Just kidding. Okay, I've taken the candy and snacks too. You can give the rest to them to distribute."
Take this sausage and rice cake to the cooks and ask them to make some for you.
"Commander, I'll be going now."
After watching Song Zhe leave, the regimental commander's wife couldn't help but laugh.
"You know perfectly well that Xiao Song is honest but not good with words, yet you still tease him. Did his girlfriend come to our camp last time?"
"Yes, that girl helped Xiao Song with the task and even delivered a truckload of fruit."
The longan, watermelon, and cantaloupe you ate were all provided by Xiao Song's boyfriend.
"This girl is so amazing?"
"Yes, that's right. Her grandfather was a veteran who went to the battlefield and fought against the Japanese."
Her father was also a veteran and served as the secretary to the governor of Guangdong Province.
I heard that this provincial governor might be transferred to the central government, and her father would take over the governorship.
How do you know so much?
"The commander told me this. He must have investigated it. There's no news about the girl's family yet, so don't go around spreading rumors."
"I understand, I'm not one to gossip."
"I only told you this because I trusted you, haha..."
"Eat up, have a piece of candy from Guangdong to sweeten your mouth."
"Hmph, you're so glib."
Song Zhe carried his things to the dormitory of the First Battalion and knocked on the door.
"Battalion Commander, what brings you here?" Squad Leader Wang asked.
"Want me to bring you some food?"
"What do you want?"
"Here are some snacks and candy; you can share them."
"Battalion Commander, did you bring this back from Guangdong Province?"
"No, this was sent by my girlfriend from Guangdong Province, so you can all try the local specialty from her hometown."
"Hey... Battalion Commander, your girlfriend is so nice."
Everyone gathered around, looking at the things on the table.
"Xiao Wang, when you have time, take these rice cakes and sausages to the kitchen and have them cooked for you."
"receive."
"I've never eaten anything like this before in my life. These chicken biscuits are delicious, fragrant and crispy."
"Really? Let me have a bite."
Seeing how happy they were, Song Zhe smiled and left.
"Has our battalion commander become much gentler with us since he started dating someone?"
"Does that even need to be said? Have you ever seen him smile before? He gets punished with 200 push-ups for making a single mistake during training."
"Yes, now if we make a mistake, we'll only be punished by doing 50, and the tone is much gentler."
"I really want to know which angelic woman won over our battalion commander?"
"Haha... just wait and see."
In the evening, after finishing her work, Liu Chunni quietly went to the cowshed carrying a large bag of things.
When she reached the door, she knocked gently. "Uncle Chen, it's me, Liu Chunni."
"Hey, you're here, Liu Meizi, what brings you here?"
"Let me in first."
"Sister Liu, you're here so late."
"Aunt Chen, didn't we bring you some things?"
These are New Year's gifts sent by Su Tian. One for you and one for her uncle.
“This girl sent things all the way here. Okay, Liu, you go back first. I’ll take her uncle’s share over to him later.”
"Okay, I'll be going now."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"You're welcome, I'm leaving now."
"good."
“This girl, hehe… Honey, take a look and see what’s there? I’ll take the things next door to her uncle.”
"Okay, go ahead."
Chen Tingjing carried his things to the next room, knocked on the door, and said, "Old friend, open the door, it's me."
"Dad, I'll go drive it."
"Xiu'er, your dad is calling you to open the door. That lazy bum."
"What? I'm giving the younger generation a chance to show you respect, do you understand?"
What did you bring over so late at night?
"Guess? Haha..."
Wang Xiu picked it up and glanced at it; it was all from Guangdong Province.
"Was it sent by my niece?"
"Smart, haha... The girl sent us New Year's gifts, all from Guangdong Province. They look so heartwarming."
"It's been so many years since I've seen anything from Guangdong Province. I'm filled with nostalgia."
"I've delivered the items. I'm heading back now. You guys should get some sleep."
"Okay, Uncle Chen, I'll see you out."
"Dad, my cousin bought so many things and sent them over!"
"That's right, Xiu'er, you should remember how good your cousin is."
"Okay, Mom, I understand."
Two days later, Lunar New Year's Eve finally arrived.
After finishing breakfast, Su Tian went to her father's study, knocked on the door, and went inside.
"Dad, are you busy?"
"Yes, honey, what's up?"
"Dad, I'd like to borrow the phone."
"You're calling Xiao Song, right? Okay, your dad should step out and leave for a bit so you two young people can chat for a while."
"Okay, thank you, Dad."
