His predecessor failed

Chapter 16 Return to Suzhou

The next day, after lunch, before they had time to clean up the dishes, He's mother and Aunt Yang began to prepare food for Su Zhuzhu on the road. They boiled five or six eggs, and then baked six egg and vegetable pancakes. They put a bottle of various pickles from Aunt Yang, and put a few fruits brought by He's aunt in the bag, which was full of food. Su Zhuzhu smiled helplessly but did not refuse. Anyway, He Qiaojin would carry it to the car, and the unfinished food could be stuffed into the space, so she would not be tired.

He Qiaojin carried the luggage into the car first. Su Zhuzhu hugged He's mother and then hugged Aunt Yang, seeming reluctant to leave them.

Lin Wu and He Qiaojin sent Su Zhuzhu to the train station together. After they found a carriage and put their luggage away, Su Zhuzhu urged them to get off the train.

He Qiaojin observed the carriage and found nothing unusual, so he asked Lin Wu to get off the car and wait.

"I called my comrades who work at the train station. Someone will take care of you on the way. Don't worry about your safety. But don't eat food from strangers. Be vigilant."

Su Zhuzhu was a little impatient and wanted to roll her eyes, "Got it, thank you!"

"Also, this tryout will last for half a month, and then there will be a one-day rest period, followed by several months of intensive training, during which we may not be able to contact the outside world. So, during that day of rest, I will call home and explain that we have already discussed canceling the engagement due to our incompatibility. You can find a time that's convenient for you to write a letter and send it to the compound, and we'll forget about it."

"Well, is there anything else? If not, please go down quickly!"

Seeing that Su Zhuzhu didn't say anything and couldn't tell what was going on on her face, He Qiaojin just said "be careful" and turned around to get off the train.

Su Zhuzhu suddenly remembered that the gift was still in her room. She opened the window, waved at Lin Wu who was standing outside, and shouted, "Brother Xiaowu, Brother Xiaowu!"

Lin Wu ran over happily.

"What's the matter? Did you forget something?"

"No, I prepared gifts for everyone. I put them in my room because I was afraid you wouldn't accept them. When you go back, tell Aunt Wu to share them with everyone. I've written their names on them. You and Aunt Yang get some too, and yours is still a big one, hehe!"

Lin Wu was so happy that he kept saying thank you. It was so good to have a sister-in-law who loved him!

The train slowly left Beijing. Su Zhuzhu looked at this great city getting smaller and smaller, and had already planned to see it again in two years.

After seeing Su Zhuzhu off, He Qiaojin asked Lin Wu to take him directly to the army and then drive the car back. It was time for him to return to the team.

"Brother Qiao Jin, my sister-in-law said she has prepared gifts for all of us and left them at home. Go home and divide the gifts before leaving. I will send you to the army after dinner. Anyway, it's enough for you to return to the army today. There's still time."

He Qiaojin thought about it and realized that there would be no dinner if he rushed back to the army canteen now, so it would be better to leave after dinner.

The two of them went all the way back to He's house and asked He's mother to go to the room upstairs. Because there were still a lot of Su Zhuzhu's things, the two grown men couldn't do anything. They waited for He's mother to find the things, and then took them downstairs.

The biggest gift was indeed from Lin Wu, and it was super large. I quickly took it aside and opened it.

"Aunt Ran, Aunt Ran, my sister-in-law is so good to me. They are all my favorite foods, hehe! There are so many, enough for me to eat for several months. My sister-in-law even left a note saying that she will send me more after I finish eating." Lin Wu smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and he looked so proud that he almost turned around in circles.

He's mother was also very happy. She looked carefully and found that the styles of clothes and shoes were the same ones she had never seen in department stores. The same were true for skin care products, which were all imported. She didn't know when Zhuzhu prepared them. This girl was really thoughtful.

Aunt Yang was also studying the toys that Su Zhuzhu had prepared for her grandson with a smile on her face.

The three of them were busy looking at their gifts, and suddenly they felt colder and colder. They looked at each other, staring at He Qiaojin together.

He Qiaojin had already looked through all the gifts. There was one for everyone, even his cousins, but he didn't see any for him. He suddenly wondered if this girl did it on purpose. She couldn't be so stingy.

He's mother also went over to look at the pile of gifts and asked He Qiaojin carefully: "He Qiaojin, where is your gift?"

Seeing He Qiaojin sitting on the sofa and turning off the air conditioner without saying a word, He's mother made a bold guess.

"Is there no gift for you?"

Hearing this, He Qiaojin became even colder.

Lin Wu and Aunt Yang started to hold back their laughter when they saw that He Qiaojin was the only one who didn't receive a gift. He Qiaojin, who had dominated the compound since he was a child, finally had a day like this. Today was really an eye-opener for them, hahahaha.

"You deserve it! I told you not to spend time with Zhuzhu. During these few days of vacation, you either went to see your childhood friends or to have a party with your comrades. Don't think I don't know that you left Zhuzhu behind after you went out with her. Besides, Zhuzhu is your fiancée, and you, a grown man, didn't prepare a decent gift for your fiancée. Why should she prepare one for you first? Oh, girls don't need to save face!"

He's mother didn't give in and stabbed him with two more knives.

Seeing that He Qiaojin's face was turning darker, Lin Wu quickly took out half of his snack gift bag and packed it for He Qiaojin. He would share half of the delicious food with He Qiaojin since he was a child. Now that Qiaojin was so pitiful, he shared half of the snacks with him to comfort him.

Looking at the big bag handed to him, He Qiaojin's face turned even darker. After all, she was still his nominal fiancée. It was bad enough that she had no share in the gifts prepared for another man, but now she had to accept humiliation from another man!

It was humiliating, but when I opened it just now, I saw a lot of dried meat, so this kind of humiliation was not unacceptable! He Qiaojin took it without hesitation, and prepared to take it back to the army to eat when he was hungry.

After dinner, Lin Wu put the gifts that Su Zhuzhu gave to Mr. He and Aunt He in the car, first sent He Qiaojin back to the team, and then delivered the gifts to each of them.

Mr. He's medical staff immediately sent the special heart-saving pills for testing, and the results shocked the testers. Because the special heart-saving pills were in limited supply, they told the old man to keep them carefully and carry them with him. Taking them as instructed at critical moments could save his life. He also wanted to find out the source, but was fooled by the old man, who was afraid that they would disturb his grandson's wife.

Putting aside He Xiaogu, Lin Zhiyuan was so excited when he received the scalpel. He didn't expect that his cousin's wife would attach so much importance to his idea. They were just casually chatting about their common hobbies. Touching this small and exquisite scalpel, Lin Zhiyuan became more determined to study medicine with his cousin's wife. His cousin's wife told him privately that the country will not continue like this. Development requires a large number of talents. Now he must study hard, accumulate knowledge, and wait for the opportunity to come. His cousin's wife also said that she would write to him to communicate and work hard together.
