Yun Jingting's hand trembled a little as he held the letter. Looking at the familiar handwriting, he had mixed feelings. He really couldn't wait to read the contents.
Even so …
He was an extremely meticulous person. He glanced at Gu Dalong beside him and quietly gathered the letters together in his hand. "Dalong, it's getting late. I can go back to the dormitory by myself. You can go back!"
He opened the door and got out of the car, taking out his luggage.
Gu Dalong was still a little worried. "Head Of Yun, let me help you settle down before you leave!"
"No need. I'm alone … what's there to settle down for?"
"Then I'll buy you a bottle of wine and drink with you? I'll also ask the cooks to make you a bowl of longevity noodles. After all, it's your birthday. It's considered a big birthday … "
Birthday?
Did it also depend on the birthday partner?
With Gu Dalong?
Forget about it!
Besides, how could Yun Jingting be in the mood now?
He hurriedly waved his hand. "Soldiers don't talk so much. It's a peaceful era now. If there's a war, who can celebrate their birthday in the rain of bullets? Let's go. Don't say anything useless! "
Gu Dalong was at his wit's end. He knew that his regiment commander's spit was a nail in the wall, so he could only agree. "Yes!"
He closed the car door, started the engine, and left.
Yun Jingting then entered his dormitory … He looked around and saw that the furnishings in the room were extremely simple. There was a single bed with toiletries neatly placed under it. There was a set of neatly folded military bedding on the bed. There was a small desk beside the bed, a lamp, a pen and paper, and two chairs. That was all.
He hurriedly put down the luggage in his hand and quickly sat in front of the desk. He turned on the lamp and used the dim yellow light to read the letter.
He first looked at the postmark on the envelope. It was sent from Shanghai.
He unfolded the letter and saw that it was written in familiar handwriting. As expected, it was a letter from Xu Jingya.
The content was as follows …
Ting 'er:
It had been many years since they parted. Although they hadn't seen each other, they still missed each other dearly … This paper is short, so I won't go into detail.
Recently, I feel that the policy has been loosened. Since it is my son's 30th birthday, I hereby write a letter to you. I wish you success in your family and career.
In addition, I occasionally hear about your recent situation. I firmly believe that my son will be able to weather through all the wind and rain, so I won't comfort you anymore. I only have one sentence to send you off: the clouds parted to see the bright moon, the five grains are fragrant and the fruits are abundant.
I look forward to the day we meet again.
Mother
Yun Jingting finished reading the letter in one breath. She took a deep breath and quietly leaned against the back of the chair, deep in thought...
Xu Jingya had not contacted her family for many years. To put it bluntly, no one even knew where she was or how she was doing.
However, today was her beloved son's 30th birthday after all. She couldn't help but pick up the pen. Just as she said, the policy had been loosened. She also wanted to give her son her best wishes. At the same time, she also looked forward to the day they would meet again.
As Yun Jingting read the letter, he carefully savored every word. Apart from feeling emotional, he was also somewhat puzzled … His mother's last two sentences, "Until the clouds parted, the moon can be seen." It was understandable since it was precisely her situation.
But what about the last sentence?
The five grains are fragrant and the fruits are abundant?
He thought for a long time but still did not understand what it meant.
He decided not to think about it anymore. He stood up and walked to the window … He pushed open the glass window and a gust of cold wind blew in. Snowflakes hit his face. It was cold, just like his mood at the moment.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door …
Yun Laohu put his mother's letter in his pocket … Although the policy had been loosened, there were still some problems that had not been completely solved. It was better not to cause trouble.
He asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
He walked slowly to open the door. When he saw who it was, he could not help but be stunned. "Lao Wu, why are you here?"
Wu Zhifei came in the wind and snow.
As soon as he entered, he stomped his feet and shook off the snow on his body. "Oh my, it's really cold!"
Then he walked quickly to the heater and warmed his hands on it. He took the opportunity to look around and sighed softly. "Lao Wu, tell me … You really are something! When we were on T Mountain, our living conditions were simple and crude. Forget it. We were on a mission outside, so we didn't have to pay attention to these things! Now that we're back in Provincial City, the conditions are better. Why do you have to live in the military camp? You've made this place not feel like home and not feel like an office. Sigh, I don't even know what to say to you! "
Yun Jingting smiled. "Isn't this good? It's easy for me to live alone! Whenever he wanted to sleep, he could sleep! I can sleep wherever I want! The whole family won't be hungry if I'm full! If I live outside, I have to run back and forth and cook for myself. I'm too lazy to do all that! "
These few words seemed to be understated, but they were heart-wrenching.
Wu Zhifei didn't know how to persuade Yun Laohu. In the past few years, he had tried many times to persuade Yun Laohu. If he said anything more, it would be dawdling. He simply smiled and said, "Forget it then. You can do whatever you want. I can't control you! I'm here today to invite you home for dinner. Your sister-in-law made a few good dishes. Let's have some fun together? "
Yun Jingting waved her hand. "I hate socializing the most. Besides, it's not the New Year or a festival. What's there to eat?"
"It's not socializing, and there are no outsiders. It's just my family! Isn't it your birthday today? You're turning 30, so it's considered a big birthday. Can't I celebrate your birthday with you? We're comrades and have been together for so many years. Don't you have feelings for me? "
Yun Jingting really didn't want to go. She didn't want to cause trouble for others. "What birthday do you mean? I'm getting older every year! But! "
Wu Zhifei pursed his lips. "You're saying you're old in front of me? Aren't you stabbing me in the heart? I'm older than you by a lot! I didn't even say I'm old! Pfft! 30 is the best age for a man. He's the best in all aspects! "
"…"
Wu Zhifei almost went up to him and pulled him back. "Old Tiger, are you still going to bring another one? Let me tell you, your sister-in-law has already prepared the dishes and warmed the wine. If you don't go now, won't she have done all this for nothing? How am I going to explain this when I get back? Besides, you didn't cause any trouble for us. If you don't go, we'll still eat! "
Since he had already said this, Yun Jingting had no choice but to reluctantly nod. He turned around and took out a few packets of beef jerky from his luggage. "I brought this back from T Mountain. Doesn't your Niuniu like to eat this? Don't forget to bring it back for her! "
Wu Zhifei patted him on the shoulder. "You still remember that Niuniu likes to eat this? Old Tiger, I don't mean to say this, but you're so considerate! "
He didn't decline and happily took it. "I won't stand on ceremony then!"
"Why are we standing on ceremony? I'll pack up and leave right away! "
Yun Laohu turned off the lights and then followed Wu Zhifei to his house.
Wu Zhifei lived in the military district's family dormitory. The living conditions were not bad. It was a small three-story building with two apartments on each floor. The Wu family lived on the second floor and shared a corridor with an officer from the logistics department of the military district. However, after entering the house, it was a stand-alone unit with two spacious bedrooms and a large living room. It was enough for the family of three.
His wife was called Liu Yanan. She was thirty-eight or thirty-nine years old this year and was an accountant in a textile factory. She was beautiful, had a good figure, and was cultured. The way she did things was a little pretentious. In the words of the time, she had a "petty bourgeois complex". When she had nothing to do, she would arrange flowers at home, draw pictures, listen to music … In short, she didn't have much in common with Wu Zhifei.
In her own words, "My Lao Wu is a boor. Talking about elegance with him? That's playing the lute to a cow! "
When Wu Zhifei heard this, he didn't take it to heart. He just chuckled.
The two of them had been married for more than ten years. His daughter was twelve years old this year and her nickname was Niuniu. She was very obedient and cute. She had the best relationship with Yun Laohu. Every time she saw him, she would either hug his neck or his legs. Yun Jingting also liked her very much and always bought her little toys to make her happy.
At this moment, when he entered the house …
Niuniu immediately pounced on him. "Uncle Yun, I missed you!"
Yun Laohu opened his arms and carried her up. He took the opportunity to spin her around before putting her down on the sofa. "Alright! Niuniu, we haven't seen each other for only a year. You've already grown up. I don't dare to carry you anymore! "
Wu Zhifei glared at him. "Old Tiger, why can't you change this habit of yours? You hide whenever you see a woman, and now you're even hiding from my daughter? "
Liu Yanan heard the commotion in the kitchen and hurriedly came out to greet them. He wiped his hands on his apron and said with a smile, "Yo, Head Of Yun, happy birthday!"
Yun Jingting gave a perfunctory reply. "Ah? Happy! Happy! "
He took the opportunity to change the topic. "Sister-in-law, how have you been recently? Have you been busy with work? "
Liu Yanan leaned against the door frame. He narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down. "Old Tiger, you seem to have lost weight. But you've become more handsome!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and shouted towards the kitchen, "Hey, come out. I'll introduce you to someone!"

Oh my, who is he introducing?
