Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

After dinner, Gu Zhishu sat for a while and then said goodbye and left.

A few days later, Yuanchun discovered that the Gu family's house was being renovated. The village chief brought a group of people to replace the thatch on the roof with tiles.

The grass in the yard was also cleaned up.

The collapsed chicken coop was rebuilt with mud.

A new earthen stove was also built.

The broken doors and windows were also repaired.

Yuanchun walked in, looked around, and asked her father who was moving tiles, "Dad, this house is being renovated. Is there anyone who wants to move in?"

"Yes, it is Gu Zhishu who is coming back to live here. He said he wants to come back to establish a branch of the Gu family." Feng Xisheng sighed with relief, "The Gu family's incense has been continued. If your grandfather Gu knew about this, he would rest in peace now."

Gu Zhishu moved in half a month later.

The next day after moving in, he took brown sugar and cloth coupons and went around the village, exchanging them for a big rooster, thirty eggs, a big bag of dried mushrooms and black fungus, and a lot of vegetables from the villagers.

He also bought 100 kilograms of grain from the village brigade.

On the third day, he went to the town to buy pork and tofu, and asked the village chief's wife and his sister-in-law Qiu Guihua to help him prepare four tables of meals. He also invited some of the important elders in the village and the people who helped him repair the house to have a warm pot meal.

That day happened to be the weekend and Yuanchun didn't have to go to school, so Gu Zhishu invited her whole family over.

During the meal, she heard the village chief and Gu Zhishu chatting, and then she learned that Gu Zhishu was a soldier, a cultural soldier, with a high position, at the deputy regimental level, and worked in the military corps ten miles away from Fengjia Village.

The next day after the warm-pot meal, Gu Zhishu went to work.

When Yuanchun saw him again, it was almost New Year's Day, the day when the village slaughtered pigs and distributed the meat.

"Yuanchun."

When Gu Zhishu saw her, he came up to her and complained aggrievedly, "Why didn't you reply to the letter I sent you?"

Yuanchun rolled her eyes at him. "I have to study, do my winter vacation homework, and tutor my older brother and younger sister. How can I have time to go to town and send you a letter?"

She glanced at him again and lowered her voice, "I need to think about what you said. After all, I'm still studying and it will take at least a year and a half for me to graduate from high school. If you don't want to wait..."

"I am willing to wait, Yuanchun. I am willing to wait no matter how long it takes." Gu Zhishu, who was originally listless, immediately perked up. "Then do you agree to it?"

"Well... let's look around first."

"it is good."

His sweetheart agreed to his request, and Gu Zhishu smiled so excitedly that his eyes were dazzled.

Heart pounding.

That night, Gu Zhishu was brought home by Yuanchun for dinner. No one in the Feng family objected to their relationship, but they also asked about Gu Zhishu's past.

After all, Gu Zhishu still has a mother.

A woman who can take away all her husband's pension and two children without saying a word, without caring about the life and death of her parents-in-law, is not an easy mother-in-law to get along with.

Grandma Feng felt that she needed to ask more clearly.

Gu Zhishu: "My mother remarried when I was three years old. I was raised by my grandparents and my uncle and aunt. When I was sixteen, my grandparents passed away one after another, and I joined the army."

"Not long ago, my mother came to me and wanted me to help her son find a job. She told me that I still had a grandfather who was still alive. She offered me my grandfather's address in exchange for a condition and forced me to agree, but I refused."
