The Lu family has been very busy these days, with several guests coming and going every day.
When the courtyard cooled down a little, Wang Qiaoping began to pack souvenirs with Cree Yaqian and An An.
It was sent to the Ning family.
They had lived in the Ning family for so long and had troubled them for so long. Wang Qiaoping always felt embarrassed and always wanted to do something to repay others.
But what can be given in return?
The Ning family is visibly wealthy and has no shortage of anything, except for these local specialties.
Sausages, bacon, dried red peppers, corns, An An’s own beef sauce, chili sauce...
As long as Wang Qiaoping can think of it, wrap it up.
Finally, it was packed into a whole package and sent to the capital.
The postage cost a lot.
However, in this matter, Wang Qiaoping didn't care about the postage, she just hoped that the Ning family would not dislike them for being shabby.
Of course, the Ning family would not dislike them for being shabby.
Ning Qiushan carried the huge package home and shouted upstairs: "Ning Zhe, look, there is a package from Daping Village."
Then he opened his fingers and counted them.
"Five, four, three, two..."
As expected, before he could count the last number, Ning Zhe appeared in the living room.
But his expression was still pale.
Ning Qiushan saw through it without saying anything, so he opened the package and took it out one by one.
While dismantling, also dubbing:
"Wow, there are so many things, and they must have been packed so well. A lot of thought must have gone into them."
"An An made this sauce himself. It must be delicious."
"Let me just say, An An must not be angry with you, right?"
"How's it going, Azhe, do you like it?" Ning Qiushan saw that Ning Zhe never spoke, so he simply asked directly.
Ning Zhe shrugged and said habitually: "That's it..."
"Azhe..."
Before Ning Zhe finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ning Qiu Shan.
Ning Qiushan looked at Ning Zhe, his slightly frowning eyebrows seemed to be warning him something.
Ning Zhe:......
All right.
"I like it." His shoulders slumped and he could only admit.
"That's right. An An will definitely prefer to be friends with honest children." Ning Qiushan was finally satisfied.
"Then Dad, can I send that ceramic doll to An An?"
"Of course you can."
"But won't the ceramic be damaged?"
It can be seen that Ning Zhe treasures these pair of ceramic dolls.
"No, let's wrap it in a few more layers and pad it with some foam so it won't break."
Ningqiu Shan kept his word and packed the girl with croissant hair in three layers inside and three layers out the next day and sent it to Daping Village.
An An didn't expect to receive a return gift, such an exquisite ceramic doll. She was so happy that she immediately wrote a thank you letter to Ning Zhe.
From then on, the two children began to communicate by sending letters and gifts to each other.
An An received a lot of things, books, stationery, clothes, shoes...
Of course, this is all a story for later.
At this time, Lu Yongguo is busy registering his company.
With Xie Xiaojuan’s previous experience and familiarity, it was done quickly.
After buying two more cars, Fang Jing took the initiative to help. She found a classmate who had helped her buy Xiali before and bought two brand new Dongfanghong trucks. After discounts, the total cost was 60,000 yuan.
Once the company is established and the car is purchased, the next step is to recruit people.
On the other side, Lu Yongchang was also ready to visit the relatives of his comrades.
This was something difficult to face, but something that he had to face. Lu Yongchang put on his military uniform, bought many gifts, and visited each family with his second brother.
It goes without saying how many tears I shed and how much pain I swallowed.
The most unforgettable thing is the home of the monitor at the end.
Before they arrived, they saw a little girl pushing an old woman to bask in the sun in the yard.
She was a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, thin and small, but very energetic, especially her eyes, which were big and bright.
"Excuse me, is this Huang Yizhi's home?"
Lu Yongchang walked up and asked.
I don't know why, but when the little girl saw him, or to be precise, the military uniform he was wearing, she suddenly became nervous.
"Yes." She responded.
"You are my brother's friends, right?"
"Oh, did you deliver another letter for your brother? Oh, why is it another letter? I obviously promised that I would come back this summer."
The little girl started chattering endlessly before Lu Yongchang could speak.
Lu Yongchang: "Ah?"
Before he could react, he saw the little girl blinking at him repeatedly.
"Ah, yes...yes..."
He responded somewhat hesitantly.
"Are Yi Zhi's comrades here again?" At this time, the old lady sitting on the chair spoke.
"Are you Yi Zhi's comrade?" the old lady asked again. Perhaps because of her old age and bad ears, she spoke in a louder voice.
"Yes, grandma." Lu Yongchang also responded loudly.
"Oh, you are so kind. You come to see me, an old woman, every now and then and bring us things.
Oh, I don’t lack anything. How can I use so many things at my age?
That is, if you see me, Sun Yizhi, can you help me ask him when he will come back? There is still a grandma at home who is thinking about him.
He is too busy...
I also know that he has become the squad leader and that the army takes him seriously.
But in the past two years, my legs and feet have not been very good, and my appetite is not as good as before. I don’t know how many years I can live. If he doesn’t come back, I don’t know if I can see him before I die.”
While the old lady was talking, she stood up shakily while holding a bamboo pole. Her hands were exploring the air, as if looking for Lu Yongchang and the others.
It is not difficult to see that her eyes are also somewhat inconvenient.
When the little girl saw this scene, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, come in and sit down."
After she said that, she went to help the old lady into the house.
As soon as Lu Yongchang and the Lu Yong family entered the door, they saw a black and white photo in the middle of the room.
this……
The two people looked at each other and felt a thump in their hearts.
"You guys sit down and I'll get you two some water."
The little girl helped the old lady sit down, and then came to greet Lu Yongchang and the other two people.
After a while, she poured two glasses of sugar water.
"Your name is Lu Yongchang, right?" She handed a glass of sugar water to Lu Yongchang's hand and asked.
Lu Yongchang was surprised.
"How do you know?" he asked.
"My brother often mentioned you in his previous letters. The officer who came to us before said that Lu Yongchang was the only one left in your dormitory. I guessed it just by looking at your legs."
When Lu Yongchang heard this, his heart trembled again.
"you……"
"Yes, we already know the news about my brother."
The little girl seemed to know what Lu Yongchang wanted to ask, so she took over the topic. After speaking, she smiled bitterly at Lu Yongchang again.
