"Mom, where are Dad and Gu Jiandong?"
"They are out working. We don't need to worry about them. They will come back to eat when they are hungry."
Shen Shuyu and her mother-in-law roasted a fire in the kitchen for a while and felt a little bored. "Mom, I'm going out for a walk."
"Go ahead, just walk around nearby, don't go too far."
"it is good."
As soon as Shen Shuyu went out, she saw three boys, about five or six years old. They didn't know Shen Shuyu and stood there looking at her with their dark eyes.
Shen Shuyu smiled and took out three candies from her pocket, "Call me sister and I'll give you candies."
Seeing the sugar, their eyes lit up, they licked their lips and asked, "Really?"
Shen Shuyu nodded, and the children didn't hesitate at all, and shouted crisply, "Happy New Year, sister."
"Happy New Year."
Shen Shuyu gave each of them a candy. Now they were really happy. They held the candy tightly in their hands and walked home happily.
Shen Shuyu walked around for a long time and came back to see the three children again. There were four or five more children around them. The brothers and sisters each took a bite of the candy that Shen Shuyu gave them, and then took it out and gave it to their older brother and sister to eat.
They all cherished this only candy and had satisfied smiles on their faces.
When they saw Shen Shuyu, they told their younger brothers and sisters, "It was this kind sister who gave us candy."
Several children ran up to Shen Shuyu and timidly said, "Thank you, sister. You are the best person in the world."
Shen Shuyu wanted to touch their heads, but the children stepped back, twisting their fingers and saying embarrassedly, "Sister, we are dirty."
Their elder sister was clean and tidy. They hadn't washed their hair or taken a bath for a long time, so they didn't feel comfortable letting their elder sister touch them.
Shen Shuyu still had three candies in her pocket, and she gave them all to the children.
The children called me "sister" all the time, which was so sweet.
Time spent with family always passes quickly. Gu Jiandong doesn’t have much vacation time, and they have to leave after the third year of junior high school.
Su Yuehong and Gu Changfeng were reluctant to leave their two children, but they had to go no matter how reluctant they were because the children had their own work to do.
Even if the conditions here weren't as tough, they wouldn't let their children stay here forever.
They came with three bags and left with only one. Su Yuehong wanted to pack more things for the child, but was stopped by Shen Shuyu.
"Mom, these things we brought are for you and Dad. Don't pack them for us. We don't lack anything in the army. You should eat the things we send you. Don't save them. Take care of your health."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
There was nothing to bring back to her son and daughter-in-law, so Su Yuehong opened the box and took out a passbook and handed it to Shen Shuyu.
"Shu Yu, take this and buy whatever you want. Don't be stingy. Mom and Dad earn a lot every month. When you've spent it all, tell Mom and I'll send you some money."
When Gu Jiandong went to the countryside, he sent all the savings of the couple to Shen Shuyu for safekeeping. When Gu Jiandong got better, Shen Shuyu returned the passbook to him. After they got married, Gu Jiandong handed over the passbook and his salary to Shen Shuyu, leaving not a single cent for himself. Whenever he wanted to buy something, he would ask Shen Shuyu for money.
So Shen Shuyu was not short of money at all. Now her mother-in-law gave her a passbook, but Shen Shuyu didn't want it. "Mom, I have money. You and Dad can keep your wages. You don't have to give me money."
"We don't have much money to spend here, so take it."
Seeing that she didn't want to take it, Su Yuehong changed her words, "This money is not for you, it's for the child in your belly. You can't refuse it on behalf of the child."
Shen Shuyu looked at Gu Jiandong, wanting him to say something, but Gu Jiandong quickly collected the passbook and said, "This is a gift from mom to the child. We'll just keep it. Thank you, mom."
Su Yuehong was happy, "That's right."
Everything was packed, and they were ready to leave. Gu Changfeng and Su Yuehong sent them out.
The niece and her husband were about to leave, and Yang Cheng and Luo Yulan came to see them off. "Uncle, aunt, you're not in good health. You won't be able to walk such a long distance. You should go home and rest."
"We are in good health, you don't have to worry about us." It's strange to say, they had been in poor health before, but after recognizing their niece, they felt much better. Perhaps it was because their mood improved and their health also improved.
They wanted to send it off, and Shen Shuyu couldn't persuade them to go back, so she could only let them go.
Halfway through the journey, they encountered a donkey cart. Gu Jiandong approached and asked if he could give them a ride. The old man agreed. Shen Shuyu said goodbye to her parents-in-law, uncle, and aunt. "Mom and Dad, uncle, and aunt, you can go back now. Take care of yourselves. If you have anything, write to us."
"Okay, okay, get in the car."
Before getting on the bus, Yang Cheng handed a letter to his niece, "If you go back to Shenjiaba Brigade, please help your uncle pass on a message."
"I understand, uncle."
The donkey cart went farther and farther away, until their figures disappeared from view, and then Gu Changfeng and the others turned around and left.
Shen Shuyu rode a donkey cart for more than two hours and then took a shuttle bus before reaching the train station. It was already past two in the afternoon when she arrived.
Shen Shuyu missed her grandparents and wanted to go back to Shenjiabao Brigade to stay for a while. Gu Jiandong bought a ticket back to Shenjiabao Brigade and sent her home. Then Gu Jiandong returned to the army.
The one who was happiest when he knew he was going back to Shenjiaba Brigade was Bailuobo. Although the children in the village were a little annoying and loved to pull his dog hair, he still missed them a lot after not seeing them for a long time.
