Chapter 1006: Preparing the luggage (2)
After Liu Jingxue left, the four people in the cowshed remained standing there without moving.
At this moment, they felt their hands and legs were weak and they even felt like they couldn't walk.
It felt like a long time had passed to them, but in fact it was not that long, enough for Liu Jingxue to walk from in front of them to her own cabin. The few of them finally regained some strength.
Elder Wu spoke first, "Should we stop standing here like idiots and go back quickly?
Look, there are people walking towards the foot of the mountain.
It's not good for people to see us standing here stupidly."
Mr. Zou took a deep breath, felt his heart beat slower, and responded,
"Then let's go back and don't keep Jianjun waiting for too long."
After saying that, he bent down first, picked up the fallen tools, and walked forward.
Seeing this, the other three also picked up their furniture and followed.
After returning home, Liu Jingxue did not rush into the space and continued cooking.
Instead, he waited until several elders entered the bullpen and met Liu Jianjun before entering the space.
“Give them half an hour to talk, and I will deliver the food after half an hour.
Half an hour should be enough for them to finish what they need to say.”
When Liu Jingxue came to the cowshed carrying food, Liu Jianjun was waiting for her in the yard.
The room was now very noisy. Liu Jingxue listened carefully and seemed to hear them helping Mr. Zou pack his luggage.
Wang Xiulan was there directing, "You have to bring your clothes and shoes.
Although we will be living with the troops there and will receive supplies, the troops are not newly established and the logistics may not be able to catch up, so it is better to bring them with you.
Besides, the army only issues uniforms, and you still have to bring your own underwear."
"Should I also bring a set of bedding?" Old Wu's voice rang out.
Zou Lao objected, "You don't need to bring bedding, the army will provide it.
Just bring clothes, shoes, and some daily necessities.”
"I have to tell Xiaoxue that I need to bring you some of the ginseng wine she has.
You still need to continue to take care of your health, and then share the money with the two leaders Xi and Liu.
They are worried about the affairs of the Xia Kingdom, and they have the root of illness left over from the early years, so their health is probably not very good." This is Liu Weihua's voice.
Listening to Liu Weihua's words and letting Liu Jianjun take off the backpack, Liu Jingxue remembered what she had forgotten.
She prepared so many things, but she forgot about the ginseng wine.
I have to bring some ginseng wine to Grandpa Zou.
The ginseng wine that was prepared for several elders before was kept in her space except for the one that was to be drunk now.
Now that Grandpa Zou is leaving, even if the four of them split it equally, they have to give Grandpa Zou's share to him.
I have to bring some for those two, even if I have to bring more for Grandpa Zou.
Thinking of the two big bags I had prepared, I wondered if it would be difficult to carry two more jars of wine.
But it doesn’t matter. Didn’t my second brother say that there is someone waiting for them in the town? As long as they get to the town, there will be someone to help them.
At worst, she could help deliver the things to town early tomorrow morning.
Liu Jianjun brought the basket of food into the house and said to the four people who were busy,
“Don’t pack your luggage yet, let’s eat first.
After dinner, Xiaoxue has to go and invite the captain over. I still have to go through the handover procedures with him."
After hearing what Liu Jianjun said, the few people who had been working in the fields for an entire afternoon and were already a little hungry naturally did not object.
"Then eat first, and then sort out your things after dinner.
Anyway, there are only some clothes and shoes, there is nothing much to organize, it can be packed in a while.", Mr. Zou made the decision.
After piling the things they had just sorted out aside, everyone worked together to set the table, get the bowls and chopsticks, and prepare to eat.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Liu Jingxue thought of Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao who were still unaware of the situation, and asked hurriedly,
"Should we call Brother Zhou and Brother Zhao over?
Grandpa Zou is leaving here tomorrow, so we should tell them about this, right? "
“Besides, since Grandpa Zou has left for the secret service, I don’t know when we will meet again.
You must say goodbye to them properly."
Elder Zou paused after hearing this and said, "I have to tell the two boys."
Looking at Liu Jingxue in front of him, Mr. Zou couldn't help but think of Zhou Mingxuan's feelings for the girl in front of him, and his eyes narrowed.
I have to meet that boy, have a good chat with him, and give him some advice.
This girl is someone he values. Although his Zhou family is quite powerful, he is now in charge of the secret force and takes orders directly from that person. It is not impossible for him to compete with Old Zhou.
If that boy really gets together with this girl and doesn't cherish her, as this girl's grandfather, he will not let him go.
Just as the girl said, he didn't know when they would meet next time, so he had to give the boy a good warning now.
“We have to call those two guys over to meet them.
Old Wu, what do you think?" Mr. Zou looked at Mr. Wu who was standing beside him.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Mr. Wu thought for a moment and said, "I have to meet him, but not now."
Worried that people might misunderstand, Elder Wu quickly explained, "Jianjun disguised himself like this, so obviously he can't reveal his identity.
If we call him over now and have dinner together, since they have been together for so long before the New Year, they will definitely be able to notice something.
Let's wait until we're done eating, Jianjun will go through the formalities with the captain, then call them over and talk about this."
"When the time comes, just say someone is here to secretly pick up Mr. Zou and is leaving soon. Don't let them know anything else."
Zou Lao nodded, "That's fine too.
The less those two guys know, the less danger they will face.”
"Then second brother can't meet them. They will probably stay here until very late. Then second brother can stay in my room." Liu Jingxue looked at Liu Jianjun and suggested.
Liu Jianjun nodded upon hearing this.
Remembering that Liu Jianjun hadn't arranged accommodation for tonight, Liu Jingxue hurriedly asked, "Second brother, where are you staying tonight?"
If I can't reveal my identity to those two people, I definitely can't stay with them.
That wouldn't be appropriate for me either. Even though we are cousins, we still have to avoid suspicion.
"That's not easy to arrange. Just sleep with me and Old Wu." Old Zou said first.
"I'm afraid we'll have to talk until very late tonight and won't be able to sleep well, so let Jianjun squeeze in with us.
It doesn’t matter if they don’t sleep. For soldiers like them, not sleeping for a day or two is nothing.”
Liu Jingxue looked at Liu Jianjun to see what he would decide.
"Listen to Grandpa Zou," said Liu Jianjun.
Now that things were settled, everyone started to eat.
We were all happy today as we received the good news. And since we were about to say goodbye, we all drank a little wine.
However, Liu Jianjun did not drink. He was on a mission and could not drink, as it would break the rules.
Liu Jingxue didn't drink much either. Firstly, the elders didn't allow a little girl like her to drink too much, and secondly, she didn't like it either.
After she, Liu Jianjun and Wang Xiulan finished their meal, the three male comrades were drinking happily, so they didn't disturb them.
Liu Jingxue simply pulled Liu Jianjun out and went to her place to bring over the things she had prepared, as well as the ginseng wine she was going to take with her.
