Chapter 171 Abnormal Lu Xue
Lu Jianjun then found the letter in the package and read it from beginning to end.
He sighed and said, "You can also take a look. The child is so thoughtful."
After receiving the letter, it began with "My brother's comrades, hello, I am very happy to receive your letter. I am doing well. My uncle's family and the villagers are taking good care of me. Our village is close to the mountains and rivers, and life is not bad. Most of these things are caught in the mountains and are not worth much. I will do my best to help you. I wish you good health and safety; I wish you peace and prosperity;
Please do not reject my gift as a hero. I hope you will accept it. I think if my brother knew about this, he would definitely agree with me. Also, I want to tell you secretly that I saved a lynx, the legendary mountain cat. I named it Damao. Damao is very smart and always brings me all kinds of food, such as pheasants, wild fruits and Ganoderma lucidum. I am very happy, so you don’t have to worry about me anymore. I will take good care of myself, and I hope you will take good care of yourselves too…”
The atmosphere in the room was very serious. The friendship was so heavy that they didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
Political Commissar Ning Zhiyuan finally said, "Since the child said so, we can't let her down. I remember that Gu Mingyue is now the village party secretary of Gujia Village. When recruiting soldiers during the Chinese New Year, remember to apply for leave in advance and go to the village in person. On the one hand, we can personally go to the child's house to thank her, and on the other hand, we can go and see her living environment and support her. If it is as good as she said, we can apply to the higher-ups to add a few extra recruitment quotas for the village. In this way, the villagers will remember this kindness, and Sister Mingyue will be able to carry out her work more smoothly in the future."
Lu Jianjun clapped his hands and said, "Old Ning, you are cunning and shrewd. No, you are very shrewd and scheming. This is a good idea. When the time comes, I will go with you and you stay at home to look after the house."
"Get lost, why should I be the one guarding the house..."
As they chatted and laughed, everyone felt much more relaxed. They also had the mind to look through the food. They smelled the aroma of the meat and swallowed their saliva unconsciously.
Ning Zhiyuan looked at his men's useless appearance and scolded them with a smile, "Okay, wipe your saliva, it will fall on the meat later. Leave some of the dried meat for those on the mission, and take the rest to the canteen. At noon, fry some sausages, add some water to the dried meat, add some wild vegetables, and everyone will have broth."
Gu Mingyue also specifically stated in the letter that some of the sausages were given to those who gave her clothes and money.
Therefore, at noon, when some people were carrying sausages home, they were asked where they came from.
The people in the family compound thought it was a welfare distribution by the army and were secretly excited, but they were told that it was a gift from their comrade's sister just to thank them for their donation.
There won't be only good people anywhere.
Besides, sending gifts to the families of the victims is a matter of personal feeling and is a favor, not a duty.
Some petty-minded families never take it to heart.
Not only that, in private, I would occasionally laugh at those people for being stupid.
But the time is right now, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a matter of life and death.
Those people proudly carry their sausages and show them off just to make certain people feel uncomfortable and to make those gossipers only able to watch but not eat.
Lu Jianjun could finally return home with his head held high.
Carrying the sausages, he enjoyed the children's warm welcome like a hero.
He entered the house, approached his wife with a grin, and offered her the sausage with both hands.
His wife, Wu Cuihua, was surprised and asked, "Where did you get it from?" Suddenly her face changed, "Did you hide some private money from me?"
Lu Jianjun quickly explained, "How is that possible? My pockets are cleaner than my face, don't you know that?"
Then he confessed about Gu Mingyue. After hearing the reason, Wu Cuihua said with emotion, "She is a good and strong-willed child."
Lu Jianjun nodded in agreement, "Indeed. I heard that he was a college student, but for Mingyuan's child, he dropped out of school and returned to his hometown to become a branch secretary. Later, he wrote articles on his own. Now from what he said in the letter, he is indeed living a good life. Lao Ning and I are relieved."
"I remember Mingyuan's son is here..." Wu Cuihua asked, pointing to her head.
Speaking of this, Lu Jianjun was even more moved. "Yes. That's why we feel uncomfortable."
Wu Cuihua was also saddened. At this time, she no longer minded the things her man gave away, and took the initiative to say, "We have to take better care of her in the future."
Then she saw a few children jumping around the sausages and said unhappily, "Behave yourself. You are so naughty. If you were half as sensible as others, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
Gu Mingyue didn't know that she had once again become the 'target of public criticism'. As someone else's child, she successfully gave the parents of the compound an excuse to punish their disobedient son.
She now lives in seclusion and has just received a letter from Xu Xiwen.
The letter mentioned that Lu Xue had been acting very abnormal recently. Not only was she often distracted, but she also laughed secretly from time to time.
Xu Xiwen asked many times before she was told that she seemed to be in love.
The man's name was Zhanwang. He was the older brother next door who lived near Lu Xue's grandmother's house. They knew each other when they were children.
I was recently transferred to work at the Harbin Municipal Government.
During the break, because I longed to go to the university campus, I happened to be strolling around and recognized Lu Xue.
The two began to have frequent contact from then on, and each felt that the other was what they had in mind.
But Xu Xiwen always felt something was wrong.
She had met Zhan Wang in her father's office before, and at that time she felt that he was too attentive and didn't like him very much.
But she couldn't tell Lu Xue all this, for fear that she would be disliked if she said too much, and also worried that Lu Xue was being deceived.
So I quickly wrote this letter asking for help.
After reading the letter, Gu Mingyue pondered for a long time. She never liked to interfere in private matters.
It would be fine if you meet someone who is sensible, but if you meet someone who is love-brained and reckless once he falls in love, it would be a thankless task if you intervene rashly.
He also looked at the dried fruits on the table at home, as well as the biscuits, canned food and tongue biscuits that had been sent to him not long ago.
As a former roommate, Lu Xue remembered that she liked these snacks very much. She remembered that when someone in the dormitory asked her for them, she was reluctant to give them away.
Now all of them are sent to Gu Mingyue. How can I let her turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to them!
So she wrote a letter to Lu Xue, without making any comments, but only complaining that Lu Xue was not considerate enough, and questioned if she didn't treat her as a friend, otherwise why didn't she tell her that she had someone she liked?
Not only did Gu Mingyue not express any doubt in the letter, but she also praised her good luck for meeting her childhood sweetheart in such a big city like Harbin and having him recognized at first sight. What a great fate it was.
She specifically asked Lu Xue if she was as pretty as she is now when she was a child. Otherwise, how could the other party still miss her so much after so many years!
Gu Mingyue recalled that Lu Xue once mentioned by chance that she looked very different when she was a child, dark and ugly, which was why her family didn’t like her.
A Beijing native, with good grades enough to attend a local university, came to Harbin alone.
Lu Xue rarely mentioned her family, so Gu Mingyue guessed that the relationship between her and her family might not be harmonious, so she said some words that were both praise and criticism.
She would rather she and Xu Xiwen worry too much, and she hopes Lu Xue will not get involved...
