The beautiful military wife did not accompany the army, and the cold-faced officer panicked

"Take a look quickly. It's still early. I'll wait for you." Seeing Liu Yang holding the letter and looking as if she didn't want to open it, Zhang Na kindly took her to the shade aside.

In Liu Yang's world, the Internet is developing rapidly and few people write letters to communicate. Now, holding the letter written by Xu Zhiyuan to her, looking at the stamp with the postmark, and the two names on the envelope, she feels somewhat excited.

However, soldiers generally do not use stamps when writing letters. It seems that Xu Zhiyuan's mission this time requires him to hide his identity as a soldier, and he doesn't know if it is dangerous.

Liu Yang shook his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Looking at the stamps and postmarks, she suddenly thought of a song: Life was slow in the past.

The days of the past have become slower, and the transportation and mail have also become slower.

Although it is slow, the feelings last long.

Xu Zhiyuan's handwriting is just like him, firm, upright, neat and clear. The format is also a formal letter format. If it were in modern times, it could be used as a model essay.

But after reading the contents of the letter, Liu Yang felt that when he was writing the letter, someone must have been holding a gun to his head and forcing him to write.

"I am glad to hear from you. I have arrived at the mission location safely. I look forward to your return."

These are just a few words? Are you being frugal with words, or are you just looking for trouble? If you want to talk about something serious, a WeChat message would contain more than these few words, right?

Can this be called a letter? It's a waste of stamp money.

Seeing Liu Yang's serious expression, Zhang Na couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What did the battalion commander write?"

Liu Yang wanted to give the letter to Zhang Na and let her read it herself, but she refused, saying that family letters should not be read casually. It would be very embarrassing if she saw something she shouldn't see.

"There's nothing you shouldn't read." Liu Yang read the words to Zhang Na verbatim. After he finished, he folded the letter back to its original shape, put it back into the envelope, and stuffed it into the interlayer of his bag. "He asked me to write back, but what should I reply? I don't need to report that I'm safe."

Zhang Na smiled meaningfully, "Maybe the battalion commander has noticed your good qualities and wants to know more about you, so you can just chat with him for a few minutes."

"No, when Captain Xu took me to file for divorce, he was very serious and earnest. No matter how the superiors persuaded him, he was determined to get a divorce. He even said at that time that he would submit the application in a few days. I didn't expect that he would go out on a mission." Liu Yang felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about whether he should get a divorce or not.

So she changed the subject and asked Zhang Na about the situation of those stores.

Zhang Na opened a slip of paper and handed it to Liu Yang. "Your brother chose seven stores, and I crossed out one. I happen to know the landlord of that store. She has a very naughty neighbor boy who always likes to use a water gun to shoot people. The previous store failed because of this, so it's not suitable."

If this is the case, it is really inappropriate. The guests come here happily to make clothes, and they will definitely be unhappy if they are covered in water. If the new clothes get wet, it will be even more troublesome.

Liu Yang said "thank you" to Zhang Na.

"You're welcome. We're friends." Zhang Na took Liu Yang's hand, glanced at the note, and pointed to the alley in front. "The first one is at the entrance of that alley. Although there aren't too many people here, the rent is not expensive. If your sister-in-law's cooking skills are good enough to attract repeat customers, this is the most suitable place."

Liu Yang followed her over to take a look. There were still a few middle-aged women fluffing cotton in the store. They would quit after finishing these few orders, so they were in a hurry to sublet the store.

The place where cotton was being fluffed was very dusty and no one could open their mouths to speak. Fortunately, Zhang Na had already greeted the landlord before coming and took Liu Yang directly to the inner room.

Liu Yang discovered that the layout of this store was actually a one-bedroom apartment. The bedroom was connected to the balcony, which faced the road. The inside was opened up and the door of the balcony was expanded to become a store. There was also a small living room at the back, as well as a kitchen and bathroom.

Just like what Zhang Na said, this place is really suitable for Liu Meihua and Liu Dayong to open a store. After they get married, they can live in the store and don’t need to rent another house.

Liu Yang drew the floor plan of this place in his little notebook. He didn't have a ruler, so he could only roughly measure it based on the width of his arm span.

After finishing the drawing, she also recorded some actual conditions of the store, such as rent, nearby facilities, surrounding residents, etc.

Zhang Na looked at Liu Yang's careful recording and praised him, "You drew it really well. It's very clear at a glance."

Liu Yang learned to paint when she was young. When she took the college entrance examination, she wanted to apply to an art college, but was discouraged by the tuition fees. However, she still has a good foundation in art, so drawing a floor plan is not a problem for her.

The two of them looked all the way and Liu Yang also recorded the several stores behind them. After they finished looking at all six stores, it was already past one in the afternoon, and they had a bowl of noodles together at a food stall.

While eating, Liu Yang crossed out the two places that were obviously problematic.

One thing is that the landlord is not a very good person. Not only does he ask for an exorbitant price, but he also deliberately conceals many details, such as the sewer being often blocked. If you rent such a house, there will probably be many sequelae in the future.

There is another place, the store is pretty good, but the current tenant will not move out until two months later. Liu Meihua's family will definitely not agree to extend the period, and may even think that we are playing a trick on them.

"I will bring Brother Dayong and Sister Meihua to see the remaining four stores tomorrow." Liu Yang still liked the first one better, so he planned to take them to see them tomorrow in the same order as today.

Zhang Na had almost finished her meal, put down her chopsticks, and asked, "When will you come over tomorrow? I'll accompany you."

"Sister Nana, aren't you going to work tomorrow?" Liu Yang asked curiously.

Zhang Na shook her head helplessly, "I've resigned. After I help you settle down the store, I'm going back to my hometown to get married."

"Go back to your hometown to get married?" Liu Yang was completely shocked. "You don't like my brother anymore?"

This time, Zhang Na was also shocked, "How did you know?"

"Of course I saw it myself." Liu Yang was anxious and quickly advised, "Sister Nana, don't marry someone you don't like. You won't be happy that way."

"I'm already 26 years old. In our village, girls of this age have children who can help with cooking. Liu Jun doesn't like me, and a forced marriage won't be happy." Zhang Na comforted her, "Besides, the man I'm going to marry is not bad. He's the brother of my neighbor who grew up with me. We know each other well, so he's pretty good."

Liu Yang lowered her head silently. She wanted to encourage Zhang Na to pursue true love, but she tried to test Liu Jun's thoughts, and Liu Jun didn't have that idea at all. Love is a matter between two people, and it really can't be forced.

"Okay, I'm just going back to my hometown. It doesn't mean we're no longer friends. If you miss me, you can write to me or come to see me." Zhang Na paid the boss first. "If you have time, accompany me to the department store. I want to buy some clothes for my mother, and I have to buy gifts for my aunts and uncles."

Since Zhang Na had already made up her mind, Liu Yang couldn't interfere in her life. After a brief moment of frustration, she smiled and said, "Please call me at the wedding. I want to be your bridesmaid."

"Okay, if you want to come, I welcome you, but..." Seeing Zhang Na hesitate, Liu Yang understood immediately, "Don't worry, I won't bring my brother with me."
