After finishing the meal, Yu Jiashun asked Cheng Jingmo, "Have you submitted all the work reports this time?"
Cheng Jingmo replied: "I submitted it the day before yesterday, and I will get the approval next Monday. It should be fine."
The successful completion of this mission was indispensable to Yu Xiangyang.
Cheng Jingmo asked for credit for Yu Xiangyang in his work report.
Yu Jiashun asked: "When are you going to go back?"
"I will hand over the work and issue letters of introduction next week, and I should be able to go back on Sunday."
Yu Jiashun said: "In the past few days, let your mother prepare some things for you to take back. The journey is long and there is no time to spare from work, so your mother and I will not visit in person."
Cheng Jingmo replied: "You don't need to prepare anything. It's not easy to take with you for a long journey."
Besides, his family never brought anything to Yu Xiangnian's parents.
Even when the two got married, his family didn't contribute a penny. The dowry and other items were all prepared by Yu Xiangnian's parents.
Zhao Ruoru answered, "This is etiquette. Don't neglect it. When I'm ready, I'll ask Xiang Guo to send it to you."
After dinner, Zhao Ruozhu called Yu Xiangnian into the room and gave her a thick envelope.
"There are a thousand yuan and some national tickets in it to buy some things for Cheng Jingmo's family."
One thousand yuan is equivalent to the annual income of an average family, and is also several months' wages for Yu Jiashun and Zhao Ruozhu.
Yu Xiangnian really didn't want it, "Mom, we have money, you can keep this."
Zhao Ruozhu stuffed the envelope and said, "Stop nagging! Take it!"
Then he said worriedly: "You must not be used to his home being so far away. With your virtue, you will definitely have a bad relationship with your parents-in-law and sisters-in-law. Go to his home, be more diligent, buy them more things, and let them worry more." You a little bit."
Yu Xiangnian smiled and comforted her, "Mom, I can only get along with them for a month at most. If we get along with them, then forget it."
Zhao Ruozhu felt relieved, "That's right. Mom had to let you marry Cheng Jingmo because she thought you couldn't handle these relationships well."
Zhao Ruozhu said again: "I will prepare the things. You can buy what you need to prepare yourself."
"Then you should be less prepared, it will be difficult to carry."
Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangnian returned home and started planning their trip.
The family's total funds are 750 yuan. Cheng Jingmo received three months' salary yesterday, which is more than 370 yuan. Including the money from Zhao Ruozhu, the total is 2120 yuan.
Yu Xiangnian's royalties for the past three months were more than 700 yuan, and including the previous ones, the total was more than 1,100 yuan.
She had to find time to find Brother Ping and ask him to help sell the house.
"Cheng Jingmo, what do your parents like to eat or like?"
Cheng Jingmo said: "They are rural people, they are not very particular."
"Then wait and see what my mother has prepared. If it's not enough, we'll buy it."
"Yes." Cheng Jingmo hugged Yu Xiangnian, "What else did you dream about me?"
Yu Xiangnian was stunned for a moment before realizing that Cheng Jingmo was talking about her dream about them being in the mountains.
She bit his shoulder and pretended to be angry, "How dare you say that! You didn't even pay attention to me in the dream! I talked to you and you didn't even look at me!"
"Then how do you know my specific location? There are only numbers on the map and no specific scene."
Yu Xiangnian: "..."
Cheng Jingmo is a dog who can always find out details.
"Of course, Yu Xiangyang told me."
Cheng Jingmo said: "Yu Xiangyang made the greatest contribution this time. Without him, this mission would not have been completed."
Only now did Yu Xiangnian hear from Cheng Jingmo about the difficulties they encountered in the mountains and how everyone sacrificed their lives.
After listening, Yu Xiangnian asked: "What did you write in my suicide note?"
At that time, Cheng Jingmo was prepared to sacrifice.
Those sensational words can only be written under that specific situation.
Now let him speak, but he can't say it anymore.
He said: "I will let you live a good life in the future."
Yu Xiangnian knew that he was embarrassed to say it. She said, "You were embarrassed to say those words the day you left. Why are you embarrassed to say them now?"
Cheng Jingmo asked: "Have you worn your hat?"
When Yu Xiangnian mentioned the hat, he shook his head.
"Cheng Jingmo, your vision is really hard to describe!" Yu Xiangnian said, "I'm going to wear that hat, won't Xiaojie think of me as a bald Little Red Riding Hood?"
Cheng Jingmo rarely laughed out loud, "Those stories of yours are really hard to tell."
"I have many more stories that are too long to tell. Do you want to hear them?"
"what story?"
"The Story of Wu Song and Lin Daiyu."
"It's better not to talk about it, I don't dare to listen."
Two days later, Zhao Ruozhu prepared the things and asked Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo to come to the house to see what else they needed.
Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo looked at the two large boxes full of things and fell silent!
One box contained four boxes of tea, four bottles of wine, four large bags of candies, and two ginseng sticks. One box was filled with dried seafood products.
Zhao Ruozhu asked again: "Cheng Jingmo, does your father smoke? I'll prepare a few more cigarettes."
Yu Xiangnian replied: "Mom, we can't even take these two big boxes on the train, let alone our luggage and the things we bought ourselves."
Cheng Jingmo also said: "Mom, there are too many things. Let's just bring some dried seafood products."
In order to save face for his daughter, Zhao Ruozhu thought that these things were missing, "Why are there too many? These things are must-haves!"
Finally, the family discussed it.
No candies, half the amount of tea and wine, all dried seafood, send them by mail.
Ginseng was too expensive, so they packed it in their luggage and took it with them. When they arrived at their hometown, these things had almost arrived.
In five days, Cheng Jingmo completed the work handover, issued a letter of introduction, and bought a train ticket.
The army had granted him forty-five days' leave. After all, it would be the end of May when they returned to Nancheng.
In these forty-five days, Yu Xiangnian was ready to finish translating the book in his hand and stop taking on any more work.
With more than half a year left, she has to prepare for the college entrance examination review.
Yu Xiangnian and Cheng Jingmo didn't prepare much. Each of them brought three sets of clothes, books and manuscripts, and two full suitcases.
When Yu Xiangnian was loading condoms into the suitcase, the corner of Cheng Jingmo's mouth twitched.
How embarrassing it was to be seen while passing the checkpoint!
"Yu Xiangnian, otherwise I won't bring it with me?" He said in a consultative tone.
Yu Xiangnian glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and took out the condom.
"Okay, no more." Yu Xiangnian said, "Then you are not allowed to touch me during this period."
Cheng Jingmo: "...Better bring it with you."
Cheng Jingmo was carrying two suitcases and a large luggage bag on his shoulders, Yu Xiangnian was carrying a shoulder bag, and Xiaojie was carrying a large schoolbag.
A family of three boarded the train bound for Cheng Jingmo's hometown.
