Chapter 762 Xia Zhang Sends a Message
That afternoon, Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun came to Liu Jingxue's home.
Opening the gate, Liu Jingxue welcomed the two into the house, "Why are you two here? Come in and warm up."
It snowed for the past two days and only stopped yesterday afternoon. The roads were covered with snow.
"Xiaoxue, we won't go in," said Zhang Yingchun.
Xia Lan said, "Yes, we won't go in.
We came here to give you the news.
This morning we took the team's ox cart to town to call home and see if there was any package for us.
The staff at the post office saw that we were from the Red Star Production Team and asked us to bring you a letter.
The post office has your package and telegram. The road is not easy to travel, and the postman will not come to our production team these days. The staff asked you to pick it up in town when you have time. "
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she estimated the time and thought that Grandpa Zhang should have received the package she sent last time.
Grandpa Zou stuffed a lot of things into the package, he should have seen it.
That telegram was probably sent by Grandpa Zhang.
As for the package, it should not have been sent by Grandpa Zhang, but probably by my eldest brother.
After all, if the package was sent by Grandpa Zhang after he received it, it should not have arrived here by now.
"Thank you, I will go to town tomorrow morning.
You two can go in and sit for a while, there is nothing to do anyway." Liu Jingxue invited.
"We haven't sorted out the things we bought yet. We have to go back and sort them out. We won't stay here any longer."
"By the way, when are you going to go home on vacation?
The bacon I prepared for you was dried in the sun for two days as the weather was good the past two days, but it is not ready yet. We have to wait for the sun to come out and dry it for another two days.
If you go back now, it will be difficult to carry them on the road."
Xia Lan shook her head, “We’re not going back yet.
This year the Chinese New Year is not until mid-January, and it is only late November now.
It's only a one and a half month vacation. If you go back now, you will have to rush back during the Chinese New Year.
So we plan to go back in late December, spend the New Year at home, and come back in late January or early February.”
Liu Jingxue estimated the time and said, "It's still early. It will take about a month before you go back. By then, the bacon will have been dried.
There are so many of you there, it's not safe to leave your things there, why don't you just wait until you are almost back and come get them from me."
Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun looked at each other. After exchanging glances for a while, Xia Lan said, "No problem. Then please keep it for us for a while."
Xia Lan handed over a package and said, "This is the salt you asked us to prepare. We never went to town before, so we are sending it to you now. Please don't blame us.
There are also some cakes as a thank you gift from us. You can't refuse them.
I said I would give you money before, but you refused. If you don’t accept this little bit of money, we will be embarrassed to ask you for meat.”
In order to reassure the two, Liu Jingxue gladly accepted the things.
"In that case, I'll accept it. After I've said thank you, please don't say anything more."
Seeing Liu Jingxue accept it, they both smiled.
"Xiaoxue, we'll leave now and won't bother you anymore."
After seeing the two off, Liu Jingxue used her spiritual sense to scan the cowshed and found that Liu Jianjun was not there.
His spiritual sense looked towards Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao's homes again and found that the three of them were practicing martial arts in the yard.
Liu Jianjun fought against two people alone, and the fight was back and forth.
"You work pretty hard," Liu Jingxue complained.
She didn't even think about the fact that Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao had been learning under her for more than a year, and now they finally had the opportunity to teach others, so they had to desperately try to make a presence felt.
The two had another idea. Even if they joined forces, they would not be able to gain any advantage over her. They thought that Liu Jianjun was new to the game, and although he was strong, he was still a novice after all.
Can they take advantage of this opportunity to team up and beat him down, so that they can brag to others that they once defeated the captain of the special forces team?
However, when the two of them started fighting, they realized that ideals are full and reality is cruel.
Although Liu Jianjun had indeed just started learning ancient martial arts, his years of training, his hard work in the special team, and his strength were not gained in vain.
He is a man who has fought in the battlefield with real swords and guns. He is not a show-off like Zheng Pengcheng.
The two have indeed made considerable progress over the past year, but they are still not up to par in front of Liu Jianjun, the special operations team leader.
After all, the two of them never really fought. Although they were quite skilled, they were still a little far from being special forces soldiers.
However, Liu Jianjun also liked their skills and was thinking about recruiting them into the army.
Liu Jianjun had already figured out the family backgrounds of the two men within the first one or two days after he arrived. Although one of them came from a military family, he was not interested in the army and refused to join it as his family had arranged.
But in Liu Jianjun's opinion, joining the army and the special operations team are two different things. If he invites them as the captain of the special operations team, he might be able to convince the two of them.
But after two days of hard work, he found that although the two were fascinated by the special forces, they were still determined not to go, so he gave up the idea.
After all, everyone has their own aspirations, and you can't force a cow to drink water if it doesn't want to.
Soldiers value sacrifice, and this is even more true for special forces members. If they force people in unwillingly, not only will they be unable to stay there, but it will also affect others.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. Liu Jingxue discovered through spiritual sense that the three were still practicing martial arts at home, so she went to the cowshed and told several elders that there were parcels and telegrams for her at the post office.
Mr. Zou took a puff of his cigarette and thought, "I guess that telegram was sent by Lao Zhang after he saw my secret letter.
Xiaoxue, go early and come back early tomorrow, bring the telegram back, and see what your grandfather Zhang says. "
Liu Jingxue nodded, "That's what I planned."
"Is Jianjun ready to go see Commander Zhang?" Wang Xiulan asked.
Liu Weihua nodded, "Probably.
The undershirt you made for him should be almost ready, right?"
"It's ready. I just washed it and it's drying on the kang now."
Zou Laodao said, "Xiu Lan, please find him some patched clothes, the kind of clothes that people of our age wear, ordinary people's clothes.
In order to avoid being discovered by those with ulterior motives, Jianjun has to hide his identity. Don't let him take his military uniform and other things with him to avoid exposing his identity.
Also, he needs to prepare some fake letters of introduction, identification and the like."
“Just take the clothes from us.
I have also prepared some fake letters of introduction and identity certificates these days, and will make some more today and tomorrow.
As for those seals, I have to ask Jianjun to carve some out of radishes later.
He has now controlled his strength and can start carving." Liu Weihua said.
Zou Lao nodded and said, "After these are prepared, Jianjun will have no problem going there this time.
When the time comes, tell him to be careful and not let anyone else know his identity except Lao Zhang.
And it must not be discovered afterward.”
"I'll tell him," Liu Weihua said.
