Chapter 295 Bracelet
After get off work, Shen Shuyu also had to go to the threshing ground to collect grain. She was very strong and she was specialized in carrying grain.
The grain in the granary cannot afford to be lost, so Shen Erzhu has to arrange strong laborers to watch over it at night.
Uncle Shen and Shen Jiabao were responsible for the care tonight. After dinner, the father and son carried two benches and went out.
Shen Shuyu looked at the calendar on the wall and calculated that Gu Jiandong should be back soon, but she didn't know which day.
Shen Shuyu has something to do every day, and she is not very dependent on Gu Jiandong.
She felt that time passed very quickly, but the furry child at home felt that the days were very long. It would lie at the entrance of the village every day, waiting eagerly for Gu Jiandong to come back.
It waits from dawn to dusk, and unless it is hungry, it will not go home no matter how you call it.
force.
Gu Jiandong returned home after a mission. He did not even go back to the dormitory. He went directly to his leader's office to ask for a vacation.
Like Bai Luobo, Gu Jiandong also counts the days to return home. To him, the Shen family in Shenjiaba Brigade is his second home.
After getting approval from his superiors, Gu Jiandong went to the station to buy a ticket with a grin on his face like a fool.
When his soldiers saw their deputy regiment commander acting like this, they rubbed their eyes vigorously and said, "I just saw a big, stupid guy who looks exactly like our deputy regiment commander."
"I saw it too. They look exactly like twin brothers."
"What do they look like? That's our deputy captain. There's a big hole in his clothes. I accidentally tore it when I was teaching me how to fight."
"That shouldn't be the case. That big, stupid guy looks so silly, how could he be our deputy captain?"
Their deputy captain always has a expressionless face. Let alone laughing, he doesn't even know how to raise the corners of his mouth.
"You know shit. I heard that after this mission, the army approved marriage leave for our deputy regiment commander. He can go home and get married. How can he not be happy?"
Gu Jiandong didn't know what they were saying behind his back. He was eager to go home at this moment, and was afraid that Jiang Ziqiang would stop him when he got to the playground. "Are you planning to go back like this?"
"What's wrong?" Gu Jiandong didn't think there was anything wrong.
Jiang Ziqiang pointed at his clothes. He had just returned from a mission, and his clothes were covered in mud and a little blood. Of course, the blood was not on him.
"Your clothes are dirty, you stink, and your beard is untidy. Don't you plan to clean up?"
Gu Jiandong smelled the smell on his body and it was indeed not very pleasant. Not to mention Shu Yu, even Bai Luobo would despise him when he went back. He could already imagine Bai Luobo covering his nose with disgust on his face and staying away from him.
Gu Jiandong returned to the dormitory and soon took a basin with clean clothes, towels and soap in it and went to the military bathhouse to have a bath.
There was an old man in the bathhouse who specialized in scrubbing people’s backs. When the old man heard Gu Jiandong say that he wanted to go home and get married, he used all his skills to scrub Gu Jiandong’s back. After scrubbing, the old man looked at Gu Jiandong’s red face and was very satisfied.
"Deputy Captain Gu, are you satisfied with the bath I gave you?"
How could Gu Jiandong say that he was dissatisfied? The old man was almost rubbing his skin bald.
After scrubbing himself, Gu Jiandong scrubbed himself twice more with soap, trying to make the soap taste better.
This is also because he doesn’t have perfume. If he had perfume, Gu Jiandong could spray a whole bottle.
After packing up, Gu Jiandong collected two sets of clothes and was about to leave the dormitory. Jiang Ziqiang came with a bag of things.
"This is a specialty I exchanged with fellow villagers in the surrounding area. Take it back and let them taste it."
Gu Jiandong was only thinking about going back to see Shen Shuyu, and didn't even think about bringing back some local specialties.
He patted Jiang Ziqiang on the shoulder and said, "I'll treat you to a meal when I come back." Gu Jiandong took the bag and walked two steps before turning around.
"By the way, if you have time, please help me clean up the house in the family compound. Please help me buy furniture and other things. I will give you the money when I come back."
After returning home to get married, Shu Yu will come with him to join the army. Gu Jiandong, at this level, can be allocated a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
But he was a bachelor before and had always lived in the dormitory without even applying for a house.
After confirming that Shen Shuyu would come to join him in the army, Gu Jiandong applied for a house as soon as he returned to the army. The house was already given to him, but he had no time to clean it.
Now that he is back from the mission, he has to hurry back to get married, so cleaning the house will have to be done by his brother.
"Okay, I'll make sure your new home is beautiful."
Jiang Ziqiang took him to the station. The earliest train left at 1 a.m. Gu Jiandong bought the ticket and asked Jiang Ziqiang to go back to the army first while he waited for the train at the station.
"When you come back, send me a telegram so I can pick you up at the station."
Gu Jiandong waited at the station for five hours before the train arrived. The moment he stepped on the train, Gu Jiandong wished the train could fly so that he could be in front of Shu Yu in the blink of an eye.
Shen Shuyu didn't know that he was already on his way back. At this moment, she was in her grandmother's room looking at the dowry that her grandmother had prepared for her.
Although Jiandong's child is living with the family and the eldest granddaughter is not married off, the same thing still applies: her little girl should also have the things that other girls should have when they get married.
"My dear, look here. These two quilts are prepared for you, as well as this kettle, this pillowcase, and this washbasin..."
Old Mrs. Shen prepared everything she needed for daily life. Of course, these things were not the most important. Old Mrs. Shen did not take out the most important thing. She looked outside, took two steps and closed the door.
She opened the cabinet and rummaged around for a while before pulling out an exquisite wooden box. "My dear, come here. I'll show you something good."
As soon as Shen Shuyu saw such an exquisite box, she knew that there must be something valuable inside the box. She walked to her grandmother and asked, "Grandma, what's the good stuff?"
As soon as Old Lady Shen opened the box, what appeared in front of Shen Shuyu was a bracelet that was all green and translucent. Shen Shuyu picked it up carefully and looked at it carefully. He turned on the flashlight to check it out for fear that he could not see it clearly. The color was definitely imperial green.
Shen Shuyu carefully put the bracelet down, "Grandma, what is this bracelet?"
The look on her face showed that she liked it. The old lady thought that she didn't like it, and she was still worried about how to find an excuse to give it to her.
"This bracelet was handed down from my grandmother's great-grandmother. My grandmother said it was valuable and was a treasure only rich families had. She passed it down to me, and now I'm passing it down to my precious granddaughter."
Shen Shuyu was stunned by this sudden surprise, "Granny, are you really going to give it to me?"
Grandma Shen immediately gave her granddaughter a gift and said, "You are my granddaughter, if I don't give it to you, who else should I give it to?
But you can only play with this thing in the house for fun, you can't take it outside, and you have to hide it in the house, so that no one else knows you have it."
