Chapter 341 Current Situation
Chapter 341 Current Situation
This was also the point that Commander Zhao specifically instructed Xi Zhiling to pay attention to when she came to find Ye Shu.
It's not about restricting her contact with her family on both sides, but about reminding her that when they contact each other, there are some things she can say and some things she can't say.
They are all fine now, but what if something goes wrong?
In short, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
Xi Zhiling left, but Ye Shu couldn't calm down for a long time.
She sat under the eaves, looking at the clouds in the distant sky, which were constantly changing due to the sea breeze.
These white clouds, which sometimes change into various shapes, are like this turbulent current situation.
The sea breeze blows them forward, making them constantly change their shapes, but no one knows what they will become in the next second.
Maybe it is a tiger, maybe it is a huge leaf, or it may suddenly turn into a dark cloud, and start lightning, thunder and heavy rain.
But Ye Shu knew that eventually the wind would stop and the rain would stop, and a rainbow would appear!
She must be worried and nervous, but there is nothing she can do now.
According to Xi Zhiling, their retreat was a recent event, and Commander Zhao had to obtain the information through special channels. According to normal logic, it was impossible for her, an ordinary family member of a small soldier, to know about it.
So she couldn't call or write to express any concern or anxiety, let alone ask questions.
Just have to wait, wait for time.
The next day at noon, Ye Shu got up after studying and prepared to pour himself a cup of cold tea and have a simple lunch with rice and fried beans with salted melon.
This pickled melon was not pickled this year, but the time is still short and it cannot be eaten yet.
This is from last year, leftover from last year. Anyway, I put it in a space bag, so it won’t go bad no matter when I eat it.
Ye Shu had just finished his tea when the sound of a car braking was heard outside.
A young soldier, carrying two large bags, stood outside Ye Shu's courtyard and called out to her, "Comrade Ye Shu! Here's your package!"
Ye Shu was shocked and immediately thought that this must have been sent by Mother Hu from Beijing!
After signing the form, she asked the little soldier to help her move into the house. When she opened it, she found that she was right!
These were things Hu Jingfei bought for the children, all food, mostly milk powder, a total of twenty-five cans!
Doesn’t it sound like a lot, but she has three kids!
Three cans per month for each child, so nine cans are needed for three children!
These twenty-five cans are not enough to last for three months!
So the package also contained twelve cans of malted milk, five bags of brown sugar, and things like sesame powder and lotus root powder.
In addition, there are clothes made for children, all of which are estimated to be larger.
I didn’t do much, just two sets per person.
But there was a lot of cloth and wool, and a letter.
In the letter, Mother Hu reminded her that if she felt it was difficult to take care of the baby, she must tell her. She quit her job to take care of her. Milk powder was hard to buy, so she sent her some malted milk, sesame paste, etc. In short, they were all edible for the baby.
Ye Shu was already very touched by Mother Hu's care for her, and when she learned about their situation in the capital, she couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw these things and the instructions and concern in the letter.
These days, sending letters is very slow, and sending parcels is even slower.
Therefore, there is a high probability that they had not returned the packages when they were sent out.
However, by the time the letter was sent here, the situation in the capital must have changed, so there is a high probability that this letter from Mother Hu had already been opened and examined.
Fortunately, Ye Shu looked through it and found no sensitive topics.
She felt somewhat fortunate that she never thought she was something important just because she came from the future, and never arrogantly wanted to talk to them about the current situation or some major events, or self-righteously remind them to avoid them.
If someone accidentally overhears this while you are talking, or if you are used to chatting and then include some meaning between the lines in a letter, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The current situation is sensitive. Since she is just a small citizen, she should stick to her duties and play her role well, which is the best help to everyone and the entire environment.
Don't be self-righteous!
Don't be blindly arrogant!
At this time, Ye Shu also had an idea in her mind. Since she received the package, she could give some gifts to the capital and write a letter to tell them about the children's situation!
This is a normal exchange of gifts! It would be wrong not to return the gift!
With a plan in mind, she calmed down and began to pack the things in the package.
For example, she only left a few cans of milk powder in the cabinet, and put the rest into the space bag.
She thought the other package was also sent by Mother Hu, but when she opened it, it turned out not to be hers!
It turned out to be something sent by Commander Huo!
He also bought five cans of milk powder, malted milk and the like, but more of it was some food that could only be bought in Beijing and could be stored.
There are also bacon, beef jerky and the like, which are obviously not available on the market, but are specially provided for people at his level.
There are also some biscuits and candies that can only be bought at Friendship Mall, and even three cans of rice noodles!
It’s the kind of rice noodles that can be eaten as a side dish for children!
Commander Huo did not write a letter, but there was an envelope containing two hundred yuan and some grain, meat, non-staple food, cloth and other items.
In short, although there are not a single word, it is also a deep love and support for their small family.
Ye Shu felt warm in his heart.
She wanted to bring the adults from both families to live on the island, but she also knew that this was just her wishful thinking.
What are the identities of Mr. Huo and Mr. Duan?
Even though I have retired, at this critical juncture, I can't just go anywhere.
Especially since this is a military base, it is impossible for them to come here!
Ye Shu put aside his unrealistic fantasies and began to put things in order.
She subconsciously prepared to put everything into the space bag, but quickly stopped.
She frowned because she thought of something.
If these two packages have been inspected, the person in the dark will definitely know what is inside.
Suppose this person comes to her house to check when she is not paying attention, but finds that these things are not there, what will be the consequences?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but gasp.
Then I took out all the things I had just put away and put them all neatly into the cabinets at home.
Not only that, she also took out a lot of her own dried seafood, mushrooms and vegetables and put them in the cupboard.
If there was no room in the cupboard, they would be piled up in the empty room upstairs.
In short, it must be put out in the open for people to see.
As for who came to see her, she didn't know and didn't care.
After finishing the cleaning, she began to pack the seafood, and then wrote two letters and put them in the packages.
Of course, I just said thank you and chatted about family matters.
The next day, the young soldier who was responsible for delivering letters was found and asked to help send it out again.
