Chapter 161 Jiang Ziqiang leaves
Old Lady Shen packed a sack for Jiang Ziqiang, including mushrooms, dried vegetables, pine nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, salted fish, bacon, cured rabbit meat... Old Lady Shen put a little bit of everything she had at home in the sack, and as she filled it up, the sack was full.
Grandma Shen asked her eldest grandson to carry the sacks to the car. Jiang Ziqiang saw that Grandma Shen had put so many things in the car and kept refusing.
"Grandma Shen, the army provides food and drink, so you won't starve. There's no need to pack so much for me. You can keep these for your family."
Jiang Ziqiang said this and put the sack down again.
Old Lady Shen asked her grandson to put the sack in the car. "Why are you always so polite to us? What we put in there is nothing valuable. It's just some mountain products we picked up in the mountains and some homemade bacon.
You don't want it, do you dislike the things that Grandma Shen gave you?"
"These are all good things you packed for me. I can't even buy them if I want to eat them. How can I dislike them?"
It is not easy for anyone these days. These mountain products are free, but they are also picked up from the mountains with great effort, and they take time to select, dry and store them.
These can all be used as food. Jiang Ziqiang really doesn't want the things that Grandma Shen packed for him. They are too much.
If Jiang Ziqiang had taken just a little bit, it would have been fine, but after taking this big sack, he felt burdened.
"If you don't mind, then don't be so nagging. This is all a small token of our appreciation. Take it back so that you can have something to eat when you're free. You kids usually train hard, so you have to eat more."
After putting the sack in the car, Old Mrs. Shen wouldn't let Jiang Ziqiang take it down.
At this time, Second Grandma Shen also came over, holding a cloth bag in her hand, "Ziqiang, I heard that you are going back to the army. This is the soybean paste that Second Grandma Shen made. Everyone who has eaten it says it is delicious. Take it and take it back to taste with your comrades."
"Thank you, Second Grandma."
Nowadays, everyone has a natural respect and trust for their military comrades. Knowing that Jiang Ziqiang was going back to the army, they came to see him off. Most of them were holding things in their hands, which were vegetables, cucumbers, and tomatoes grown in the fields!
Jiang Ziqiang said no, but the villagers were so enthusiastic that they blocked the car. Jiang Ziqiang had no choice but to thank everyone one by one with great emotion.
Before getting in the car, Jiang Ziqiang gave Shen Shuyu a letter, "If there is an emergency, you can take this letter to the Public Security Bureau to find Du Changtian. Du Changtian is the newly appointed director of the Public Security Bureau. He and I are Jiandong's best brothers.
In fact, he wanted to come and see Jiandong, but for some reasons it was not convenient for him to show up. Anyway, if you have urgent matters, you can go to him directly.
And you don't have to worry about Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu. My dad has already contacted Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu last month. They are in very difficult conditions in the northwest, but fortunately they are not in danger of death. They asked me to tell you not to worry about them or write to them.
When the time is right, my dad and some old comrades will find a way to transfer Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu back.
I can see that Jiandong is very attached to you. You are very important to him. I would like to trouble you to take care of him while he is here."
Shen Shuyu put the letter away and said, "I understand. Taking care of Jiandong has never been a problem. Besides, he is very well behaved and does a good job. I don't need to worry about him at all."
After finishing his words, Jiang Ziqiang opened the car door and said, "I'm leaving now."
"Bon Voyage!"
Just as Jiang Ziqiang was about to close the car door, a big hand grabbed the door to stop him. It was Gu Jiandong's hand. Gu Jiandong blinked his long eyelashes and said with some reluctance. He handed him the picture book in his arms, "Here, this is my favorite picture book. I give it to you. If you can't sleep, read it to yourself and soothe yourself to sleep."
Jiang Ziqiang's eyes were sore. He wiped them. Emma, he suddenly felt like crying. His brother finally had him in his eyes. He even gave him his favorite picture book. It was not easy.
Suddenly he didn't want to go back to the army. He couldn't bear to leave his brothers. Jiang Ziqiang carefully put the comic book away and said, "Jiandong, I'm going back, brother. You take good care of me..."
Bang! The car door slammed shut!
Gu Jiandong made a face at him, "Hurry up and leave, it's too late."
Jiang Ziqiang wanted to express his emotions to his brother, but seeing his grimace, he held it back.
"I'm leaving."
The car started slowly and Jiang Ziqiang waved goodbye to everyone.
Li Caixia and Shen Qiu shouted at the top of their lungs, "Come to our house next time you have a holiday!"
Everyone followed the car to the entrance of the village and then stopped. They watched the car go farther and farther away until it disappeared, and then everyone dispersed.
Everyone left, Zhou Jingchen and Shen Xue were still there. Jiang Ziqiang was about to leave, so Zhou Jingchen and Shen Xue also came out to join in the fun.
Seeing Shen Xue staring at the car in a trance, Zhou Jingchen patted the back of her hand and smiled, "Xiaoxue, do you think that car is impressive?"
Isn't this nonsense? A four-wheeled vehicle, especially one used by the military, is of course impressive. Shen Xue nodded, "Impressive."
I heard that her parents and Shen Shuyu had ridden in that car before. Jiang Ziqiang took them for a long ride. Her family members all got on the jeep, but Shen Xue didn't even get to touch the wheel. This made her so jealous.
What a fool her parents were. They didn’t even come to call her when they were in the car.
"It's actually not a big deal to ride in a car like this. I ride it often at home.
My father's friend also has a car like this. Our two families are old friends. His car is like my car. I always take the car to go to school in Kyoto.
When we return to Kyoto, I will drive you for a ride every day and take you to delicious and fun places.
If you want to come back, I can drive you back and let your family see how well you are doing..."
Shen Xue couldn't believe it. "Jing Chen, are you serious? Can I also ride on a four-wheeled vehicle?"
Zhou Jingchen smiled slightly, "Silly boy, of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you? Follow me, I won't let you live a hard life."
"Jing Chen, I believe you." Shen Xue had never dared to think about riding in a four-wheeled vehicle before. A four-wheeled vehicle was not something that ordinary people like them could ride whenever they wanted. It was a vehicle that only high-ranking leaders could ride in.
Shen Xue would feel very happy and stylish if she had a bicycle to ride. Now Jing Chen told her that as long as she returned to Kyoto, she could ride any four-wheeled vehicle she wanted. Shen Xue was so happy that she was overwhelmed.
This is a four-wheeled vehicle, not an ox cart, a horse cart, or a bicycle, but a jeep. She can sit on it whenever she wants! This shows how powerful the Zhou family is. She is also the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. She also has a share of everything in the Zhou family. When they return to Kyoto, she will have endless blessings.
