After packing up their things, it was already dusk, and the family rushed to Chu's house in an ox cart with their things.

Withered vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water.

When she arrived at Chu's house, Ran Wenyue first sent Chu Wen home with a mention of moon cakes.

Now Chu Wen's family, Chu Wen's father has gone to the battlefield, the Chu family's uncle and grandfather have also passed away, and there are no other relatives in the family, only the elderly grandmother, Chu Wen's mother and the young and ignorant Chu Wen are left.

After returning to Chu's house and having a simple meal, everyone chatted for a while and went to bed.

……

In the early morning, the morning glow appeared in the east, wisps of cooking smoke wafted from the rooftops of the village, and the air was filled with a light veil-like mist.

Ran Wenyue didn't have the habit of sleeping lazy, so she got up early.

"Auntie, what delicious food did you make today! It's so fragrant. Smelling the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, Ran Wenyue stood by the window and looked at the Chu Liushi who was busy inside.

Hearing Ran Wenyue's voice, Chu Liushi glanced up at her and then got busy. "You've got such a smart nose, or you can't smell it and see what I'm doing."

"Then don't worry, you'll know when you eat later, auntie, I'll go first." Ran Wenyue shook her head and left directly.

Breakfast was served, and the family sat at two full tables before finishing.

Breakfast is quite rich, there are vegetable buns, bean paste buns, brown sugar buns, brown sugar steamed buns, white steamed buns, cornmeal wowotou, a plate of stir-fried mushrooms, a plate of pickles, green vegetable porridge and boiled eggs.

After breakfast, they each do their own things, and if they have nothing to do, they get together to do homework, Ran Wenyue and they will pack up their things and prepare to go home when it is almost noon, after all, they have to sacrifice the moon at night, and there are still things to be busy at home.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the village, they heard a man calling to them, and when they stopped, they saw that it was a dusty man, who was on crutches and carrying a cloth bag, and his face was full of vicissitudes.

Seeing that they stopped, the man limped to the ox cart with a cane, "Sister Xiumei, it's really you!" I thought I was wrong. ”

Chu Xiumei stared at the man in front of her and felt a little familiar, and then after looking at it carefully, she said with some surprise: "You are Brother Dashi!" How did you become like this?! ”

The man in front of him was Chu Wen's father, Chu Shi. It's just that I didn't expect that after only three years of not seeing him, he has become what he is now.

"Hey~ It's hard to put into words." Chu Shi just shook his head, didn't want to say more, and then said: "Sister Xiumei, wait a minute, I have a letter from the mountain for me to bring you, you wait, I'll look for it first." ”

After Chu Shi finished speaking, he immediately put the burden on the big stone on the side of the road and rummaged through it.

Chu Xiumei became excited when she heard Ran Qingshan's letter, but after nearly a year of changes, she was calm and did not lose her temper.

Soon, Chu Shi rummaged through the letter, Ran Wenyue took the letter and handed it to Chu Xiumei, Ran Wenbo and Ran Wenxing also stretched their necks to see what was written.

Chu Xiumei took the letter, but didn't open it, "Go back and read it again!" Put the letter away, looked at Chu Shi on crutches and said, "Brother Dashi, it's not very convenient to see you like this, let's send you back!" There's been a lot going on at home lately. ”

Chu Shi wanted to refuse, but when he heard Chu Xiumei say that a lot of things had happened at home recently, he was a little anxious to go back and take a look. "Then thank you, Sister Xiumei."

After getting into the ox cart, Chu Shi avoided suspicion and sat next to the coachman who was driving the car.

When the ox cart entered the village again, someone looked at Chu Shi on the frame and was slightly stunned, and when they recognized who it was, someone immediately spread it around, but there was an ox cart where the people ran fast, and when they arrived home, Chu Wen and his family didn't know yet.

After sending him to him, Ran Wenyue and the others left in a hurry.

Looking at the house in front of him, Chu Shi was stunned, waited in front of the door, raised his hand and prepared to knock on the door, and then put it down again, going back and forth several times.

Hometown timidity.

Finally, he looked at the door in front of him, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door with a determined look.

……

Returning home in a hurry all the way, Ran Wenyue and the others didn't have time to eat, so they went directly back to the backyard, took out the envelope and looked at it.

"Yueyue, let's see what your father said?" Chu Xiumei held the envelope, but found that she couldn't understand some words, so she hurriedly handed it to Ran Wenyue on the side, her tone full of anxiety.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll read it to you." Ran Wenyue took the letter, her heart was actually a little excited, she picked up the letter and trembled, looked at the words on it, cleared her throat, and read it.

"My wife personally revealed:

Seeing words is like faces, and seeing letters is like meeting.

It has been several years since I left home, and I pray day and night that the war will end as soon as possible, that you and I can meet as soon as possible, that you are in good health, and that your father and mother are still healthy. Xiumei, I know that it is not easy for you, but my father and mother gave birth to me, I hope you don't get too angry with them, don't be angry. When I get home, we'll go our separate ways and live on our own. ”

Ran Wenyue finished reading the first one, her mouth curled, and then she began to read the second one.
