Chapter 16 Zhou Jingchen is going back to Kyoto

"I asked the doctor and I can be discharged. My dad has a friend who drives a truck. I will follow his truck back to Kyoto tomorrow." He really didn't want to stay in this shabby place for even a single day.

Shen Xue saw that he couldn't wait to leave, and looked at him as if he was a heartless man, "Jing Chen, do you really want to leave? Don't you have any attachment to this place?"

Zhou Jingchen felt that there was something wrong with her brain. This was a hospital, who would want to stay here?

"I am very grateful to you for saving me. I will remember your kindness forever. Please go back quickly."

Zhou Jingchen knew that Shen Xue probably fell in love with him. He was always very confident about his face. Since he was a child, his face was very popular with girls, and there was never a shortage of girls around him. He enjoyed the feeling of being admired.

Shen Xue is not bad looking, but unfortunately she is from the countryside. Zhou Jingchen would not marry a country girl. She saved him, and the most he could do was to send her a piece of cloth when he returned to Kyoto.

“Jing Chen…”

Shen Xue still had a lot to say to Zhou Jingchen, but as soon as Zhou Jingchen closed his eyes, he said he wanted to rest and called the nurse to take Zhou Xue out of the ward.

After walking out of the hospital gate, Shen Xue was not in good shape at all.

Zhou Jingchen is going back to Kyoto, and she hasn’t developed a relationship with him yet. Is her dream of marrying him going to be shattered?

Because Shen Xue had no money to take the ox cart, it was dark when she got home. Shen Shuyu and the others had already eaten their fill.

Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia, who had eaten their fill, were sewing clothes and chatting in the main room. When they saw her come back, they ignored her.

Liu Pan walked up to her daughter with concern and asked, "Xue'er, where have you been all day? Why did you come back so late? In the afternoon, Shen Shuyu packed some braised pork from the state-owned restaurant. We had the braised pork tonight, and you came back so late that even the soup was gone."

"Mom, why didn't you leave a piece for me?" Shen Xue was already in a bad mood. She was tired and hungry after walking back from the county town. When she got home, she heard her mother say that there would be no share for her for the braised pork tonight. This time she really felt wronged.

"Your father works hard, so he ate your share." Who could resist eating such delicious braised pork? Her husband has to work so hard. If he eats one more piece of meat, he can try harder at night to make her pregnant with a son.

Shen Xue pushed Liu Pan away and looked at her, "Mom, why are you like this?" She also wanted to eat braised pork. The last time she had braised pork was during Chinese New Year last year. She had even forgotten what it tasted like.

"What's wrong with you, kid? You went out to play all day and you came back angry with me. Do I owe you something or something? You didn't come back so late and I was worried about you."

Humph, if you are really worried about her, why don’t you go out to look for her? You are just talking about it.

Shen Xue went to the kitchen to find something to eat, leaving Liu Pandi standing there wiping her tears.

Zhang Cuicui, who was sewing clothes in the main room, raised her eyebrows, "Second brother's wife, did you see that Liu Pandi started to wipe her tears again? Why is she crying so much?"

Li Caixia was disgusted. "You are such a crybaby. You cry over trivial matters. I don't know why Third Brother fell in love with Liu Pan in the first place!"

"Well, let's not talk about her. Shu Yu got another package today. I don't know what's in it this time." Li Caixia was most curious about this. She saw that the package was quite big and guessed that there were a lot of good things in it.

Unfortunately, the old lady wouldn't let her touch the package.

Zhang Cuicui also wanted to know what was in the package her niece brought back. "Didn't Xiaoqiu go with you to get it? This girl should know. Ask her."

Li Caixia called Shen Qiu over, "Xiao Qiu, did your elder sister tell you what's in the package?"

"I don't know. My elder sister didn't tell me and I didn't ask." After saying that, Shen Qiu took the bucket and went to take a shower. She had just swept the chicken coop and her body smelled of chicken shit.

It was curiously wrapped by the eldest and second aunts and was being opened in Shen Shuyu's room.

A bottle of malted milk, a piece of Dacron cloth, and a military coat.

No wonder the package is so bulging, this military coat alone is quite big.

Old Mrs. Shen smacked her lips and said, "Why did your uncles send so many things? This is too expensive."

Malted milk, Dacron, military coats, which one is not extremely expensive?

Malted milk and Dacron are hot commodities in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and you can't buy them just because you want to.

And this military coat is very rare. You can’t buy it without money and connections.

When her eldest son was in the army, he sent two pieces of clothing back to her and her old man, but she and her old man were reluctant to wear them.

Now that their eldest son had died, Mr. and Mrs. Shen were even more reluctant to wear it, as it was the memory their eldest son left them.

Old Mrs. Shen felt sad when she saw the military coat. "It would have been great if your father hadn't died."

Vague memories emerged in her mind, and Shen Shuyu's eyes became a little sore. "Grandma, don't be sad. My dad didn't leave. He just stayed with us in a different way."

The old lady is old, and her mood swings are not good for her health. Shen Shuyu diverted her attention and opened the envelope. The letter was written by Gu Changfeng. He joined the army with the original owner's father. The two of them had a relationship like brothers in the army. Later, Shen Xiangbei died, and Gu Changfeng and the people in the army sent Shen Shuyu back.

He also said to Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen, "Uncle, Auntie, if you don't mind having more sons, I, Gu Changfeng, will also contribute to your retirement needs in the future." He also promised that he would help raise Shen Shuyu together in the future.

Old Man and Old Lady Shen would be lying if they said they were not touched, and they kept saying that their eldest son had made a good brother.

In fact, as a comrade-in-arms, Gu Changfeng didn't need to do these.

Shen Shuyu read out the contents of the envelope in a clear and melodious voice.

After listening to the letter, Old Lady Shen stood up and said, "What, your uncle Gu's son is going to the countryside to be an educated youth?

Why did you go to the countryside to be an educated youth? I remember that your uncle Gu only has one son, and didn’t he say that he was injured during a mission last year and has become a little more innocent? "

Last year, Gu Changfeng wrote in a letter that his son Gu Jiandong was shot in the head while on a mission.

At that time, Old Lady Shen and Shen Shuyu were very worried and made a special phone call to inquire about the situation.

He was shot in the head, and he was lucky to be alive. He is definitely different from a normal person, and his IQ remains at the level of a ten-year-old.

"Grandma, something must have happened to Uncle Gu, so he arranged for his son to go to the countryside." Shen Shuyu knew that the situation was not stable these days. Even if Uncle Gu was in a high position, he could hardly protect himself. Arranging his son to go to the countryside was actually the best choice.

"But... isn't it suffering for that child to be an educated youth in the countryside under the current circumstances?" There were also many educated youth who went to the countryside in their Shenjiaba Brigade. These delicate kids were used to life in the city and couldn't stand the hard work in the countryside at all. They all complained and caused a lot of trouble for their fellow members.

Normal educated youth couldn't stand life in the countryside, let alone that child.

Shen Shuyu comforted her, "Grandma, we are here." As long as people come to their Shenjiaba Brigade, she will be able to protect him.

"Yes, yes, grandma, you are too concerned. Jiandong will go to our Shenjiaba Brigade and our family will take good care of him."

Speaking of Gu Jiandong, Old Lady Shen sighed, "That child is a great one. He became the youngest officer in the army at the age of 23. If his brain had not been injured, his future would have been limitless. He is such a good child, how could he...

My dear, do you still remember that when you were in the army as a child, you loved Jiandong so much that you kept calling him "Brother Jiandong" and said you wanted to marry him when you grew up. Your uncle Gu even said he would arrange a marriage for you two. "

The eldest son is very close to his granddaughter as a mother. He always writes about the interesting things that happened to his granddaughter in the army when she was a child.

Therefore, Old Lady Shen knew it clearly.

"Grandma, that was so long ago that I don't even remember it." In fact, Shen Shuyu still had some vague memories in her mind. When she was little, Shuyu was obsessed with looks and liked to play with good-looking kids. Gu Jiandong was the most handsome kid in the army, so Shuyu naturally liked to play with him.

"My dear, put these things away. Your grandfather doesn't know that Jiandong is going to the countryside. Go talk to him."
