Chapter 104 Letters from Home (Part )

After being punished, the few people behaved very well and helped prepare for New Year's Eve at home.

Lu Beiyuan seemed to have lived in the Yu family all the time. He came early in the morning to help Grandma Yu cook, and waited until dark at night before returning to Lu Nanchi's small courtyard.

Because Lu Beiyuan was "one of their own", Lu Nanchi and Zhang Tong half-heartedly agreed to the invitation to celebrate the New Year at Yu's house. However, Lu Nanchi and Zhang Tong are still educated youths after all, and they cannot completely skip the activities of the Educated Youth Institute. At least they still have to have a meal with everyone at the Educated Youth Institute at noon.

Before New Year's Eve, not only Yu Jiang and Lu Beiyuan got the photos they had taken before. The Yu family finally received the long-awaited letter from home.

There are two letters at home, one is from Yu Jiang's brother Yu Hongcheng, and the other is from Yu Jiang's aunt whom he has never met but is in the same military region as Yu Hongcheng.

Yu Hongcheng's letter didn't have much to say. He only briefly reported on his life in the army and asked if his family was okay.

If there was anything different, it was that after Yu Hongcheng learned that his sister was dating someone, he used two large pieces of paper to express his dissatisfaction and disagreement.

He also said that he must go and meet Lu Beiyuan in person next time he is on vacation.

In short, Yu Jiang couldn't help but sweat for Lu Beiyuan when he saw the letter. Lu Beiyuan was really miserable.

Because Lu Beiyuan had not yet come to Fenghe Village when he wrote to Yu Hongcheng last time, so naturally Yu Hongcheng didn't know about the fact that Lu's father and mother were coming to Fenghe Village.

Otherwise, he would have to carry the train back all night to settle the score with Lu Beiyuan!

As for what Yu Hongcheng sent back, it caught Yu Mu's attention even more.

It's not like this guy hasn't sent them things before, but most of them are things that can be bought directly at supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores. Although the things are not cheap, for a rough guy like him who is in the army all day long, This is considered very attentive.

But this time things are a little different.

Although the items from previous years are still there, there are some more souvenirs and the like. It seems that they have been collected and prepared.

Yu's mother picked up a box of dried meat and looked at Yu Jiang with a determined look on her face: "Your brother definitely didn't prepare this."

Grandma Yu also looked over and confirmed: "This is indeed not something from a supply and marketing cooperative or a department store."

Yu Jiang also reacted quickly: "Mom, grandma, what do you mean..."

Mother Yu nodded: "I don't know why your brother didn't mention it at all in this letter, but there is a high probability that he has definitely not run away!"

Yu Jiang also felt that what Yu's mother said was quite right. Someone must have helped Yu Hongcheng pack the things this time, so there were so many more things inside. But who packed it for Yu Hongcheng?

These are definitely not things that a group of old men like him would think of, but they are still close enough to help him buy things to send home. When you think about it, everything becomes self-evident.

I just don’t know why Yu Hongcheng didn’t write it in the letter. Is it because the other party is shy?

On the other side of the army, Yu Hongcheng went to the supply and marketing cooperative again today, bought a bunch of things, and then went to a house in the military courtyard.

Knocking on the door, a pretty girl of eighteen or nineteen came to open the door for him.

Seeing that Yu Hongcheng had brought so many things here again, he couldn't help but scolded: "Come on, come on. Why have you brought so many things here again? My dad hasn't even finished the bottle of wine you brought last time!"

Yu Hongcheng didn't seem to care at all, and gave the girl a silly smile, "Just let me carry the things, so that the leader and his wife will be embarrassed to chase me away for the sake of these things."

The girl took the wine from his hand and led him towards the house: "Let's go, my dad and the others are waiting for you!"

After hearing this, Yu Hongcheng, who was not calm to begin with, became even more nervous. His current target was the only daughter of their group leader's family. She was the youngest in the family, and she had three older brothers.

Now she herself is teaching in a primary school in the army and is considered a formal worker.

As the daughter of the group leader and in good condition, Hu Yiyi is an extremely popular marriage partner.

It was also because of an accident that Yu Hongcheng saved Hu Yiyi, who was almost bitten by a wild dog, and the two officially met.

Later, the two of them developed a good impression of each other, and things fell into place naturally.

Although Yu Hongcheng wanted to call home at that time, Hu Yiyi felt that the two had not gotten along for long and were not in a hurry to tell his family, so Yu Hongcheng did not mention this matter when he wrote home.

But a few days ago, when Yu Hongcheng was sending Hu Yiyi home again, he happened to be caught by Captain Hu who had returned from the army!

Captain Hu immediately became unhappy. After all, the two people holding hands together at that time was not really innocent!

Captain Hu took another look. Isn't this the kid under his command whom he was particularly optimistic about before?

You brat, you actually kidnapped someone and came to his house!

Captain Hu immediately took the two of them home and asked them to explain everything clearly.

Two young lovers who had just been dating met their parents unexpectedly. Hu Yiyi was okay, but Captain Hu couldn't bear to talk about her.

But Yu Hongcheng was different. Although Captain Hu did not stop the two from continuing their relationship after questioning clearly that day. But after that, his training in the army increased day by day, and he was too tired to move every day, and the time he spent with Hu Yichu was greatly reduced.

Yu Hongcheng didn't dare to complain at all about this, and even ostensibly wanted to thank Captain Hu for his hard work and experience.

It's just that this person is really useless.

But fortunately, Captain Hu's investigation of the Yu family came out quickly. Although this boy came from the countryside, his father was also the captain of the village, not to mention that his parents were both college students who graduated from Q University.

Although I don't know why Yu's father gave up on a better future and wanted to go home and become a captain, but at that time, people who could go to college were not stupid people. Maybe he had other plans.

However, judging from the current situation, although there are intellectuals in their family, they will not be deliberately found out. I think Yu Hongcheng's father must have his own concerns.

And he is actually the nephew of Deputy Commander Lan and Captain Yu! If he hadn't checked it out himself, he would never have imagined that this kid had such a background.

However, Captain Hu had always been optimistic about this boy Yu Hongcheng, not because of his background, but because of his own ability.

In the army, Yu Hongcheng needs to be obedient and able to make decisions. He has strong personal strength and a flexible mind. He is a good seedling that can be cultivated.

The reason he was so tormented before was just to express his anger that his daughter had been abducted.

Now that we know that this guy is Deputy Captain Lan's nephew, of course we can't deal with him the way we did before. Even if Deputy Captain Lan hasn't said anything yet, Captain Hu can't go too far.

Therefore, Captain Hu had no choice but to reluctantly ask his subordinates not to assign too many tasks to Yu Hongcheng, and Yu Hongcheng was able to escape the life of extra training like three meals a day.

It seems that Yu Hongcheng will not go home this year. Although he knows that he still has his aunt and uncle to go to, Captain Hu still agreed to let him come to his house for dinner.

However, although Yu Hongcheng had already prepared to be given trouble by Captain Hu at the wine table during the Chinese New Year, it was only after he arrived at Hu's house that he discovered that it was not only Captain Hu who was waiting for him, but also several of Hu Yiyi's brothers.

Looking at Hu Yiyi's self-seeking eyes, Yu Hongcheng felt a little desperate. Two future uncles, two of you! He really couldn't resist it!

And one of these brothers has not come back, right?

The second before he lost consciousness, Yu Hongcheng was still thinking: Yu Jiang is also dating someone, right?

Just wait, there will be a day when he will be an uncle, and someone like him who gets caught in the rain will definitely tear Yu Jiang’s partner’s umbrella to pieces!
