Xie Beichen knew that he was in the wrong, so naturally he would not say no to anything Ruan Yu said.

Next, he not only helped Ruan Yu pour water for washing her face, but also made chicken noodle soup for her as dinner without letting Ruan Yu interfere.

Ruan Yu didn't feel it just now, but when the bowl of fragrant chicken noodle soup was served in front of her, she was shocked to realize that she was really hungry.

Xie Beichen’s cooking skills are quite good. Not only did he make noodles for her, he also put two whole soft-boiled eggs in them.

Ruan Yu didn't even bother to talk to Xie Beichen. She buried her head and ate the bowl of noodles and the soup in one gulp.

Even at the end, there was still some feeling of wanting more.

"Are you still hungry? Otherwise I'll make you another bowl."

Xie Beichen, who had been paying attention to Ruan Yu's movements, naturally did not miss the lively expression on her face. He frowned slightly and suggested tentatively.

He added some noodles according to Ruan Yu's usual appetite, but it still seemed not enough.

"Enough." Ruan Yu took the bowl of noodles and planned to go out to wash it, but unexpectedly, before she could get off the kang, the bowl and chopsticks in her hand were taken away by Xie Beichen.

"Just stay here, I'll go wash it."

Xie Beichen pulled a military green blanket over the side and put it on Ruan Yu's legs. He told her to stay in the room and have a good rest, then he went out with the dishes.

Not long after he went out, Xie Beichen came back quickly with some firewood.

First, he sorted out the firewood beside him, and added some firewood under the warm kang. Then he washed his hands in the enamel basin on the washbasin rack beside him, and climbed onto the kang next to Ruan Yu.

"Ayu, there are a few things I need to tell you."

Xie Beichen sat on the warm kang, turned around, took out a letter from the cabinet at the head of the kang, handed it to Ruan Yu, motioned her to open it, and told her the origin of the letter.

"This is the letter my mother sent from Beijing.

Along with the letter, there were a lot of things she prepared for us, including fabrics, some snacks from Beijing, and milk powder, malted milk, brown sugar, etc., which are not easy to get here.

I didn't look closely, but most of them are probably gifts for you. We can slowly dismantle and put them in order tomorrow during the day."

When Ruan Yu heard Xie Beichen say that this was a letter from his mother, she suddenly became nervous.

"Don't be nervous. In fact, my mom couldn't thank you enough when she heard about our marriage."

Xie Beichen naturally noticed that Ruan Yu was in a bad mood. He quickly reached out and took the little girl into his arms, patting her back to comfort her while quietly explaining the reason to her.

“Actually, I had no plans to get married before I met you.

I wrote a report myself and requested the transfer order to come to the border of Hongqi County.

The reason is that my mother has been urging me to get married.

I am the youngest in the family, and I am considered to be the last child of my parents!

So my mother was extra concerned about me. But to be honest, I didn't think anything else was a big deal, except for the matter of marriage, which I couldn't obey her.

So, I applied for a transfer here and stayed here for five years.

My mother came once during the trip, but seeing that I was determined, she couldn't persuade me and had to go back.

My mother had originally given up hope on my being able to start a family, but she never expected that I would meet you this time.

She is very happy.

If the weather conditions had not allowed it, she would have bought a train ticket and traveled a long distance to attend our wedding.

I think, when the weather clears up in a couple of days, why don't we go to the county photo studio to take two group photos and send them back to her, so that she can have a peaceful and happy New Year."

Xie Beichen's explanation sounded a bit messy and even incoherent.

But Ruan Yu could hear the complex and deep feelings the man in front of her had for his mother.

And after listening to Xie Beichen's description and the contents of the letter she had just read, Ruan Yu had a feeling even though they had never met.

This must be a very kind and lovely mother.

"We don't know how long the snow will last. Why don't we go to the county town tomorrow and get this done?"

Since we want Xie Beichen's mother to have a good New Year, it is naturally better to do this as soon as possible.

If the snow lasts for four or five days, then if it is delayed and postponed, I don’t know how long it will be postponed.

These days, letters from the post office travel on the road, and are not delivered in hours as she is familiar with. Even if they are within the same city, they may be delayed on the road for several days.

It's even slower if you're traveling across provinces. It might take you a month or so to get there.

“Don’t worry, our photos won’t go through the post office.

There are vehicles in the army that deliver supplies and resupply. Generally, I ask them for help if I have anything.

They will stay here for a while this time. This is the last mission before the New Year, so we still have plenty of time and don’t need to rush. ”

Xie Beichen smiled and comforted Ruan Yu, and decided to wait until the snow stopped before going to the county to take pictures.

Otherwise, with such heavy snow, even if she borrowed a sled from the old branch secretary and set off, it would be a big hassle for Ruan Yu to go back and forth in such heavy snow and wind.

If he gets sick from the cold, he will really regret it.

"Well, should we prepare some gifts for our parents?" Ruan Yu thought about what Xie Beichen had just said. His mother had prepared quite a few gifts for her. Since she was going to send photos back, she couldn't just send one photo back and be done with it!

"So this is the second thing I want to tell you." Xie Beichen looked at Ruan Yu and smiled, then continued to explain to her in a low voice.

"In the first year after I came here, I went into the mountains to hunt roe deer and made bacon. At that time, I didn't know whether my parents liked it or not. In the end, my father thought it was just average, but my mother liked it very much.

So every winter, if I had time, I would try to prepare some bacon and send it back to her."

"You mean, you're going into the mountains again in the snow and wind?"

Xie Beichen had said so much that even if Ruan Yu was slow to react, she could still understand what he meant.

“I’m actually just worried about you.

However, since you have decided to go into the mountains, I will not stop you. I just hope you can pay attention to safety. If you don't get anything, don't force yourself. On a snowy day like this, it's best to go early and come back early."

Ruan Yu looked at Xie Beichen, and before he could speak, she had already revealed her true thoughts to him.

"If it's up to me, I hope you can avoid all dangerous missions and stay at home forever.

But I know very well that is impossible.

You are a soldier and your duty is to obey orders.

What I can do is to support you instead of restricting or binding you according to my preferences.

However, you have to protect yourself well while completing the task. After all, you have to always remember that I am waiting for you to come back home."
