The next day, Su Mo woke up with a sore back. The man was no longer on the kang. He heard noises in the room, probably making breakfast.
Su Mo finally understood why those women in later generations said they should not marry soldiers if they had no ability. They died in droughts and floods.
She has not experienced drought yet, but she has experienced waterlogging. It is enough.
Lu Changzheng entered the room and saw that Su Mo had woken up. He quickly brought hot water for his wife to wash up.
There was nothing he could do, he went too far last night, and if he didn't behave well today, his wife would probably be really annoyed.
Su Mo ignored him, got up and went outside to wash up.
Lu Changzheng stood by and said carefully, "Daughter-in-law, it's cold, don't use cold water. I boiled hot water." After saying that, he poured out the cold water Su Mo used to brush his teeth and replaced it with warm water he had prepared.
Su Mo was really angry and funny when she saw his dog-legged appearance.
After brushing his teeth, Lu Changzheng twisted the towel for Su Mo and handed it to her hand.
"Come on, wife, wipe your face."
Su Mo:......
After giving him an angry look, Su Mo still took the towel, but also spoke: "You don't have to do this."
"It's okay. I'm happy to serve my wife."
Seeing Su Mo wipe her face, Lu Changzheng took the towel, washed it, then twisted it again and handed it over. His wife loves to be clean and has to wipe her face several times.
After washing up, Su Mo went to the toilet again, and then went to have breakfast.
For breakfast, Lu Changzheng cooked the porridge and the pickles, which he probably got from his parents early in the morning. There was a bowl of chicken soup left last night, and Lu Changzheng also heated it up for Su Mo to drink.
"After dinner, let's go to the county town. I want to buy some vegetable seeds, some cotton, some cloth, and make a cotton-padded jacket. It's getting cold, so I didn't bring a cotton-padded jacket. I'll give my uncle a call by the way." Mo said.
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife." Lu Changzheng agreed. His mission these days is to accompany his wife well, and he can do whatever she wants.
After dinner, Lu Changzheng washed the dishes, got on his bicycle and took his wife into the city.
As soon as the couple arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a car driving quickly. Cars are extremely rare these days, and the couple couldn't help but take a second look at them.
After the car passed by the young couple, it suddenly stopped suddenly. A young man got out of the car and shouted to the two of them.
"Comrade, are you Comrade Lu Changzheng?"
Lu Changzheng stopped and asked, "I am, what can I do?"
The young man hurried over and said, "Great. Comrade Lu Changzheng, I am from the County Armed Forces Department. I received a call from your unit, saying that there is urgent military affairs and asking you to return to the unit urgently. We are here to pick you up at the train station."
There is no train station in Qingxi County, so you have to go to the city.
Lu Changzheng was startled, then got out of the car and gave a military salute: "Thank you for your hard work, comrade. You go to our brigade headquarters first and wait for me. I'll tell my family and I'll be there in an hour at most."
"Okay." After the young man said that, he ran back to the car and drove quickly to the brigade headquarters.
Su Mo's expression was a little confused. Although she knew that Lu Changzheng would return to the team in a few days, he suddenly had to leave all of a sudden, and he was at a loss as to what to do.
"Daughter-in-law, I can't accompany you to the county seat." Lu Changzheng was very reluctant to give up, but as a soldier, this was his mission. Whenever the motherland needs it, no matter where it is, he will rush there as soon as possible.
"No, it's okay. Let's go back and I'll help you pack your things."
"Okay." Lu Changzheng turned the car around and rode towards their home. The two of them remained silent all the way, and the sadness of parting lingered in their hearts.
After returning home, Lu Changzheng put the car away and said, "Daughter-in-law, you pack it up first. I'll go talk to my father and my parents."
"Yeah." Su Mo nodded.
Yesterday's clothes were washed by Lu Changzheng this morning, and they are still wet and hanging on the clothes drying pole. But luckily he was wearing casual clothes yesterday, and I don't know if he should take him with him.
Su Mo returned to the room and took out Lu Changzheng's luggage bag from the kangqin. There were only two or three sets of military uniforms in it, and nothing else, not even a thicker piece of clothing.
Su Mo's eyes suddenly felt sour.
He also thought that it would take him two or three days to get back to the army by car, and he would have to have food on the way. I quickly lit a fire and boiled all the dozen or so eggs in the cupboard.
He also thought that since Lu Changzheng had given all his money to a poor man, he probably didn't have much money left. He quickly got on the kang again, counted ten big ones from the small cabinet, took them out, and gave him all the food stamps. It seemed that food stamps were needed to buy food on the train.
After taking the money, Su Mo didn't know what else to pack, and Su Mo felt empty. Regardless of whether or not he was cheating, he took out two Merlin luncheon meat cans from the space, tore off the labels on the cans, and stuffed them into Lu Changzheng's duffel bag.
When Lu Changzheng came back, he saw his little wife sitting by the kang with her head hanging down. She heard the voice and looked up at him with red eyes.
Lu Changzheng felt pain in his heart.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm back."
"Oh...oh! I boiled eggs for you, but I have to wait a while. Your clothes are all in the luggage bag. There is nothing to pack. Yesterday's clothes are still wet. Do you want to take them away?" Su Mo stood up quickly. road.
"If you don't take it away, leave it at home."
"Okay, okay. Well, I brought you two cans of luncheon meat for you to eat in the car. Also, I put 100 yuan and a few food stamps in your bag. Remember to keep them and don't lose them. .”
"Daughter-in-law, I have money, so I don't need to bring any money with me. You can keep the flowers and take the canned lunch meat back for you to eat."
"A poor family is on a rich road, so take it with you in case you have to spend money along the way. Bring canned food too. If you don't eat on the road, you'll eat it when you get to the team."
Lu Changzheng saw his wife trying her best to pretend to be calm, but in reality she was about to burst into tears. He walked over and hugged her into his arms.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry." He must let her join the army as soon as possible.
"Don't say that. You have to protect your home and country. This is your mission."
Su Mo was actually very confused inside. She knew this when she agreed to get married. She even thought it was good that Lu Changzheng was not at home, so she could do her own thing.
But after only living with this person for two days, why did he change?
When you heard that he was leaving, you felt particularly reluctant to leave and always wanted to cry?
Could it be that she had been alone for a long time and was doted on by Lu Changzheng for a few days before she started to sink?
The two hugged each other for a while, and then Lu Changzheng let go.
"Daughter-in-law, it's time for me to go." If it wasn't a particularly urgent matter, the army would not have directly asked the county armed forces department to pick him up knowing that he was getting married.
"Yeah, okay." Su Mo blinked her eyes and tried hard to blink back the tears. He was leaving home, so he couldn't be worried.
The eggs were also cooked. Su Mo went out and picked them up. After searching for a long time but couldn't find anything to put them in, she just took the lunch box she had eaten at the educated youth spot and packed them.
Lu Changzheng looked at the lunch box full of eggs and said, "You don't need so many, just bring a few and you can keep the rest."
"Bring everything with you. I'll just buy it here. You'll be in the car for two or three days." Su Mo insisted, "Bring other things with you too!"
In order to reassure his wife, Lu Changzheng also took a step back, "Okay, I'll bring everything, but I really don't need so much money. I can only bring 50 at most."
"Okay." Su Mo didn't insist. She wasn't thinking about it right now.
Lu Changzheng took out the money tickets Su Mo put in his luggage bag, counted 5 of them and gave them back to Su Mo, and then stuffed the lunch box with eggs into the luggage bag.
"Daughter-in-law, remember to lock the courtyard door and the house door when you go to bed at night. If anything happens, go to your parents and eldest brother. You don't have to worry about firewood in the winter. I told Lu Guoping yesterday that he will find someone to help you. Once it's done, I'll give them some money when the time comes." Lu Changzheng said worriedly.
"And don't work too hard. Just do the farm work if you want to do it. If you don't want to do it, don't do it. We won't miss the work points. Just be good and do it."
"When I get to the army, I will write to you. If you need anything, just write to me or send me a telegram. You can also call me. I just wrote down the phone number and put it on the kang table."
After listening to Lu Changzheng's casual thoughts, Su Mo finally couldn't hold back the tears she had been holding back for a long time, and they fell down.
"I, I know, you don't have to worry about me, I will take care of myself, and you should take care of yourself in the army. You have a wife now."
Lu Changzheng quickly raised his hand to wipe his wife's tears, "Daughter-in-law, don't cry. I'll be back when I have a day off."
"Well, I won't cry." Su Mo raised her hand and wiped away her tears, pretending to be strong and smiling: "Let's go, I'll see you off."
Lu Changzheng felt so distressed when he saw Su Mo like this. He hugged Su Mo and kissed her hard, then picked up his duffel bag and strode out.
He had to leave quickly. If he stayed a little longer, he would be reluctant to leave.
Su Mo quickly followed behind.
When passing by Lu's house, Lu Qing'an and Li Yue'e were already waiting at the door, and Li Yue'e was holding a small bundle in her hand.
"Third brother, my mother has boiled some eggs and baked some cakes for you. You can take them with you to eat on the way."
"Mom, my wife also cooked eggs." Lu Changzheng took the baggage and thought about giving the eggs back to his parents.
"Take it with you. If you can't finish the food on the way, take it back to your comrades. In such a hurry, I didn't prepare anything for you at home." Li Yue'e pressed down Lu Changzheng's hand to unpack.
The three of them took Lu Changzheng all the way to the brigade headquarters. Lu's eldest brother, Lu Xingjun, was also at the entrance of the brigade department, chatting with the young man who was driving.
Seeing Lu Changzheng coming, the young man quickly went to turn the car around.
"Mom, dad, daughter-in-law, brother, I'm leaving."
"Well, don't worry, third child, I'm at home and I'll take care of you," Lu Xingjun said.
Lu Changzheng waved, then turned around and strode towards the car. After Lu Changzheng got in the car, the car sped away.
Li Yue'e looked at the third daughter-in-law with red eyes beside her, feeling a little guilty in her heart.
Everyone says it's good to marry a soldier, but only the family members of soldiers can understand what it's like.
I can't stay at home for more than a few days all year round, and I'm often afraid that I'll hear bad news one day.
Now, there is one more person who is frightened.
