On the other side, Xu Sui changed into her pajamas, lifted the covers, and lay down on the bed.

She had to get up early tomorrow, and she had just had another argument with someone. She was so sleepy that she didn't even notice the uncomfortable look on the man's face next to her.

Qin Yunzhou slept on the outer side. As soon as he closed his eyes, the blankets were filled with Xu Sui's faint fragrance in the dark night.

His senses seemed to be amplified infinitely, and the faint fragrance uncontrollably entered his nose, as if Xu Sui herself was covering him, not a blanket.

But the woman next to him wasn't sleeping soundly. As she slept, she turned over and leaned against him, unknowingly resting her head on his shoulder. Strands of her hair, carrying a faint fragrance, fell onto his cheek, tickling him slightly.

Qin Yunzhou's body gradually became hot, and he felt unbearably hot all over.

This was the first time he had ever slept in the same bed with a woman while sober, sharing a blanket—a bright red dragon and phoenix wedding blanket that they had bought together at the supply and marketing cooperative specifically for their wedding.

This situation would affect any normal man to some extent.

Xu Sui slept very well that night, but Qin Yunzhou did not; he barely slept at all.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

Xu Sui is used to going to bed early and waking up early, and she also likes to go for a walk after washing up in the morning.

"I'm going to the cafeteria to get breakfast."

Qin Yunzhou was also someone who would wake up on time. He nodded, "Then I'll pack my things at home."

They will be taking the train back to their hometown at noon today. Most of their things are packed, but there are still some other things they need to pack now.

"Okay, you can pack your things. I'm leaving." Xu Sui liked Qin Yunzhou's attitude. Although he was injured and needed to recuperate, he didn't rely entirely on her for care. He was also learning to take care of himself and helping her with some things.

The air was fresh in the morning, and many people in the army got up early. In this day and age, few people slept in late, and there weren't many entertainment activities. Most people went to bed early and got up early.

As soon as Xu Sui stepped out, she encountered many other people going out.

Today is my last day in the military.

Qin Yunzhou was injured on duty and needed to recover. When he returned to his hometown, the army gave him a sum of money and several dozen kilograms of grain coupons as a reward.

When Xu Sui went to the cafeteria to get food, as long as she mentioned Qin Yunzhou's name to prove that she was Qin Yunzhou's family member, they would prepare a nutritious meal for Qin Yunzhou separately, and it would be free of charge and without any coupons.

Of course, these days, even if something is nutritious, it just means it's relatively oily.

Sometimes it's bone broth with just a little bit of meat bits, sometimes it's egg drop soup...

As Qin Yunzhou's only family member in the unit, Xu Sui also gets some benefits, occasionally enjoying some juicy meals, which attracts envious glances from many people.

This morning was no exception.

Perhaps it's because Qin Yunzhou is leaving.

The army canteen prepared two more large white steamed buns, two boiled eggs, and two bowls of white porridge than usual for his breakfast.

It looks like a serving for two.

Looking at the big, white steamed bun, Xu Sui, who hadn't eaten white flour in a long time, couldn't help but swallow hard and almost ate it on the spot.

Fortunately, she remembered that there was a patient waiting for her at home.

She forced herself to hold back, got the food, and hurried home.

Back at the family compound, I pushed open the door and went inside.

Xu Sui had just put down her lunchbox when she looked up and saw that everything in the room had been tidied up, clean and tidy, and had even been cleaned. She was a little surprised.

She entered the bedroom and saw the man tidying up his clothes. "Are you all packed?"

Qin Yunzhou zipped up the luggage bag, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and nodded. "Yes, it's all packed."

These days, Xu Suiqian has been doing almost all the housework.

He's a grown man; he can't always rely on a woman to take care of him.

Xu Sui glanced around the room and saw that it was indeed very clean; almost everything that needed to be taken had been taken.

Actually, they only planned to take the quilts. They already had pots, pans, and other utensils back home, but the quilts were different.

Even if there were any extra blankets back home, they were already used, and the cotton inside had long since turned black and hardened, so they weren't warm at all.

They didn't have any extra cotton coupons left if they wanted to buy more.

"Let's have breakfast first. Today we have big white steamed buns, white porridge, and boiled eggs."

Qin Yunzhou nodded, and limped over to the dining table to sit down, leaning on his cane.

A bite of the soft, white steamed bun with a subtle wheat aroma makes your stomach feel comfortable.

The congee wasn't very thick; it was mostly rice water. But having rice water to drink in this day and age was already quite good.

Xu Sui really enjoys the light, sweet taste of rice porridge. She eats a soft, sweet steamed bun, a mouthful of delicious white porridge, and finally a boiled egg. She finishes her breakfast in no time.

It's almost time to leave.

The person from the military unit who was responsible for driving them to the train station was Liu Zhang, a former comrade-in-arms who had shared a dormitory with Qin Yunzhou.

They had to borrow cotton coupons to buy quilts. When Qin Yunzhou was hospitalized, Liu Zhang visited him several times, giving him money and gifts.

Xu Sui did not accept the money from the other party, but she still owed them cotton coupons. She had paid back part of it in recent days, but she still owed them three catties of cotton coupons.

I need to hurry up and save up these three jin of cotton coupons.

There was a knock on the door.

Xu Sui went to open the door.

The man who arrived was Liu Zhang. He was dressed in a crisp military uniform, tall and imposing, with regular and dignified features. He greeted us with a smile.

"Hello, sister-in-law. I'll take you both to the train station today."

"It's almost time. Where's your luggage? Let me help you load it into the car."

"Battalion Commander Liu, thank you for your help. The things are over there. Let me help you move them." Xu Sui quickly stepped aside to invite him in, smiling generously and without any hesitation.

Inside the room, Qin Yunzhou greeted his comrade with a smile, "Thanks, Lao Liu."

"It's nothing, it doesn't take much effort. With our relationship, why be so polite?" Liu Zhang waved his hand and carried away the two large bundles and a duffel bag in one go.

Seeing this, Xu Sui stepped forward to help, but before she could get close, Liu Zhang shook his head and stopped her.

"Sister-in-law, no, I can manage on my own. You rest. I'll come back up and help you take the boat down after I've finished carrying the luggage."

"He's helped me a lot before, we're good friends, so don't be shy with me."

This is the second floor, and there is a staircase.

Qin Yunzhou can barely walk with the help of crutches, but he still can't easily attempt to climb stairs and needs someone's help.

Upon hearing this, Xu Sui subconsciously looked at Qin Yunzhou.

Qin Yunzhou nodded to her, "It's alright, let him move it."

Since that's what they said, Xu Sui didn't say anything more. She had only been sitting down for a short while.

Liu Zhang quickly came back up, and Qin Yunzhou carried him down the stairs and put him in the car in no time.

Xu Sui followed behind with her cane, got into the back seat of the jeep, and sat next to Qin Yunzhou.

Everything is ready.

Liu Zhang drove the two of them to the train station.

He personally saw them off onto the train before returning home.

"Yunzhou, sister-in-law, I'm leaving. Write to me if you need anything." Liu Zhang waved to the two of them.

"I plan to get married in the military next year. I hope you will be back by then and be able to attend my wedding banquet."

Xu Sui and Gu Yunzhou smiled and waved to him, "Yes, thank you."

Soon, the train headed towards a destination thousands of miles away, requiring several train transfers.

The train finally came to a stop.

We finally arrived at the train station in Fengyang County, where my hometown is located.
