In order to avoid misunderstanding, Xiao Yiqing left the door open and poured a glass of sugar water for her husband’s subordinate. She handed him the water and said, "Alright, Brother Kang, please have some water first."
Kang He took the cup, thanked her, and drank the water in one breath. After drinking the water, he put it on the table and said, "Sister-in-law, I’m going back to my post. Thank you for the sugar water."
"Okay, I will treat you to a meal next time." Xiao Yiqing said as she walked him to the door.
Recalling the taste of the tonic wine he drank during Xiao Yiqing and Mu Zigu’s home warming meal, Kang He said, "Sister-in-law, there is no need to treat me to a meal. However, it would be nice if I could drink some of the tonic wine you brewed before."
Hearing this, Xiao Yiqing smiled and said, "The tonic wine is sent by my friend and I still have some left. Just wait a moment and I will get it for you."
After saying that, she went to the cabinet and took out a small bottle. Only one-third of the tonic wine was left, so she gave it directly to Kang He, "Brother Kang, there is not much left."
Receiving the tonic wine, Kang He was so happy, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"You are welcome," Xiao Yiqing said with a smile.
After closing the door, she went to open the package and saw the sender’s name written on the box. When she saw Lu Jueyu’s name written on it, she was surprised. She thought there would be no response to her letter. Unexpectedly, Lu Jueyu not only replied to her letter, but also sent her a big package.
It had only been a few days since she had sent the letter. Logically speaking, she shouldn’t receive a reply so quickly. When she opened the box, she noticed a military seal on the address and realized it was being sent through a military channel.
No wonder the package came so quickly. It seems that even after retiring from the army, Li Chenmo still maintained his personal connections with the military personnels.
After opening the box, she took out an envelope and read the letter first. When she opened the letter, she was surprised to see Lu Jueyu’s handwriting was so beautiful. She admired the handwriting for a while before finally started reading the letter.
’Hello, Comrade Xiao Yiqing,
It’s been a while since you left Xie village. I was surprised when I received your letter. But after learning about your marriage and situation, I feel happy and relieved that you have found happiness and are living a good life now.
