The Love of Passerby A

The day before departure, the Gu family invited the entire Su family to dinner.

"Old Su! Although you are returning to your hometown, I admire your courage!" Father Gu offered a glass of wine to Father Su. Seeing that Father Su wanted to refuse, he explained, "Just this one glass, no more.

You can take the remaining wine home later and put it in your luggage. When you get there, take it out and drink it to keep warm.

You must take care of yourself. In addition to your family, I will also ask you to take care of my second son."

"What are you talking about! Commander, responding to the country's call is what I should do as a soldier." Father Su answered calmly, "I came from there, and it is natural for me to return to my hometown to build it.

Although I have retired from the military this time, what the army taught me is enough for me to remember for the rest of my life."

"It's not easy for your wife either. She didn't enjoy the happiness with you for a few years, and now she has to go back again." Mother Gu felt a little reluctant, "Old Su! You must treat her well. If I knew you bullied her, I would definitely not forgive you."

"No, we have a good relationship!" Su's father smiled heartily and nudged Su's mother with his elbow, meaning for her to say something too.

"I don't mind, but I'm afraid the child will suffer if he returns there." Su's mother expressed her worries, "Sister Xia (Gu's mother's name: Zhao Xia), if I need medicine or something, you must help me!"

“How much medicine can Xiaoran use by herself? If you have any problems, just write to me and I will definitely help if I can.” Aunt Gu patted her chest and promised.

“By the way, Xiaoran is going with you this time. What should we do about the school? You can’t stop her from going to school just because she is a girl.” Mother Gu was a little worried.

"After we get there, we will build the farm first." Father Su told him the good news he had heard. "When more people come, we will also build a school. It will only take two years at most.

During this time, I will let Xingchen teach Xiaoran to read first."

"It's okay. I'll ask Huanzhi to bring some books over. If that doesn't work, let him teach." Father Gu suggested.

"Okay, I'll have to trouble Huanzhi then." Su's mother was very happy with this arrangement.

"Actually, I have something to ask of you." Father Gu coughed lightly, "This time Huanzhi went there, I hope you can let him live with your family, so that we can take care of each other.

Even though he is already eighteen years old, he is too idealistic about many things.

Old Su! When it’s time to give him a warning, you can’t be polite and teach him like your own son. Survival in the wild is no joke.”

"Old leader, don't worry, I will definitely teach him well." Father Su agreed readily.

The meal lasted until eight o'clock in the evening. Because they had to catch a train the next day, the Su family did not stay long.

The next morning, Gu Huanzhi and the Su family first took a car and then a railway to embark on their journey to the Great Northern Wilderness.

There were a lot of people in the carriage, so the smell was naturally unpleasant, but looking at Gu Huanzhi, who was out of tune with the surrounding environment, he seemed to have adapted well.

Even when Su Xingchen was feeling uncomfortable, he would help take care of him.

This made the two siblings feel embarrassed, so they had to share with him the food they had secretly hidden in the space.

In such an environment, they didn't want to cause any trouble, so they could only find a corner and take turns hiding in it to have extra meals.

Su's father and mother did not eat the things Su Xiangran brought. They tried to save food as much as possible like the people around them and tried not to get involved in the affairs of the younger generation. This also effectively prevented others from asking to borrow food.

After all, food is precious these days, but it is still shameful to snatch food rations from children.

Since Su Xiangran got on the train, she has lost track of time. She sleeps when she is tired, eats when she is hungry, and drinks water when she is thirsty.

Su Xingchen was even worse than her. When he left home before, he took a car and he actually felt motion sickness. He felt a little better when he got on the train, but because he had been in the carriage for a long time, the smell made him uncomfortable again.

Su Xiangran watched from the side and thought: If it weren't for maintaining his character, Su Xingchen would have gone crazy a long time ago.

Gu Huanzhi took care of Su Xingchen all the way. She wondered: How did this guy complete his missions in the past, letting the people he wanted to rescue take care of themselves?

How come he didn’t get beaten to death for such a creative thing!
