Chapter 147 Homesickness
As she spoke, she started crying again, saying between sobs, "I called them when I left home that day..."
I said...I said...I will never leave them again after I return from my trip.
I...I even joked...I...I'm going to put all their retirement money into my own pocket.
But... but I arrived here before I even boarded the plane.
Ruyi comforted him, "They will remember you."
“I know, I’m scared, I’m just afraid my grandma won’t be able to handle it.”
From the time I was a month old, my maternal grandmother raised me single-handedly. Except for the time when I was living at school and not by her side, I have never left her side...
Ruyi stayed by her side silently for a long time before Dongfang Jin calmed down.
Pick up the military overcoat and cap, and gently stroke the five-pointed star on the cap.
This is Grandpa's favorite thing, and one of his most cherished possessions.
Then there's the portrait of the great man, the "Red Seal," especially the one that says "Serve the People."
He wore it on his chest every day, took it off at night, and put it back on every morning after saluting "him".
That solemn and sacred act was performed year after year, day after day, without interruption, and sometimes she would try to imitate it.
They each collected a large box of these portraits of Grandpa, Grandpa Song, Grandpa Shen, and Grandpa Su.
They come in all sorts of materials and patterns. Sometimes, they would even argue heatedly over this "red seal."
After she and Ruyi took the military coat, Dongfang Jin left the space because Ruyi said that Gu Chenglin had returned.
The rest is up to Ruyi.
As soon as Dongfang Jin stepped out of the space, she saw Gu Chenglin enter the house covered in snow: "Is it snowing heavily?"
"Well, when I went out, it wasn't snowing much, but when I came back, it was snowing heavily, and there was a thick layer of snow on the road."
My uncle said the weather was a bit unusual and told my third brother and the others not to sleep too soundly at night.
If it's still snowing by 4 AM, get up and shovel the snow quickly, otherwise it might cause the house to collapse.
When I came out, my third brother said they were planning to build a new house next year and asked if they could lend them some money if they didn't have enough.
Dongfang Jin thought of Sun Xing's mud-brick house with thatched roof: "You don't need to discuss this with me. Just build it properly the first time. They're all these blue brick houses. Look how reassuring it is to live in them."
I am incredibly grateful to those few people who vandalized our house. If it weren't for them, my family of four might have suffered terribly.
She thought to herself, if those people don't cause any trouble, their sudden move will definitely attract more criticism.
Gu Chenglin stood at the door for a while, waiting for the chill to dissipate, before walking over: "That's because my wife is lucky."
"Stop joking, look at these," Dongfang Jin said, taking out a military overcoat, a military cap, and heavy military boots from his Qiankun bag.
"Wife, what is this...?"
“This is from my grandfather’s house. Try this hat. Untie the string and you can take it off on both sides. It will keep your ears warm when you cover them.”
And these shoes, try them on to see if they fit.
Following her instructions, Gu Chenglin untied the rope covering the roof, letting the ear flaps droop down, and excitedly said, "Wife, it's warm, so warm."
Look, I'm sweating, but these shoes are so tight on my feet.
"Oh, what should we do? It seems your feet are size 44, but my grandfather and maternal grandfather are size 42."
Grandpa Song's shoes are size 43, you wait and I'll ask Ruyi.
"Alright, come on, come inside with me. If you can't wear Grandpa Song's shoes, then you're just unlucky."
Gu Chenglin was a little unhappy when he heard this. His feet were even bigger than those of the Divine Martial General. He wanted to touch his wife's small feet.
Dongfang Jin led Gu Chenglin into the space. As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Ruyi carrying a shoebox coming out of a room next door.
Looking at the box, which was almost as big as it, the combination looked somewhat comical.
Dongfang Jin stepped forward and took the box: "What is this?"
Ruyi: "The shoes were taken from Grandpa Song's room, which you mentioned. There's another pair there, but they're a size smaller than these."
This is for Brother Lin, size 44.
Dongfang Jin...
It heard it again.
Gu Chenglin looked puzzled. How did Ruyi know his foot size was 44?
Holding the box, Dongfang Jin suddenly remembered that Grandpa Song had uneven feet; his shoes were always one size larger for his left foot than his right because his left foot was a prosthesis.
My grandmother told me that half of his left foot was cut off by the Japanese soldiers with a knife. Because he didn't receive timely treatment, they had to cut it off at the ankle. Otherwise, it might have affected his entire leg or even cost him his life.
Later, it was Song Bin's uncle, who specially fitted him with a prosthetic leg.
Dongfang Jin held up the shoebox in her hand, looked up at Gu Chenglin, and said happily, "You are lucky."
Gu Chenglin stared blankly at his wife's red and slightly swollen eyes. The electric lights here were brighter than the candles in their room, so she could see very clearly.
She asked in a low voice, "Are you crying? Does your stomach still hurt?"
"No, I took Grandpa Xu's medicine and it doesn't hurt at all. I just miss home," Dongfang Jin said, tears welling up in her eyes again.
Gu Chenglin didn't say anything, nor did he try on the shoes. He reached out, picked her up, and walked upstairs.
As one wishes:"……"
How much they're ignoring her!
Never mind, let her go get those coats.
It seems that not everyone can have an army of 600,000, because the intervals between her taking those things were getting longer and longer.
Her strength was dwindling, and she couldn't fall asleep yet, because if she did, she wouldn't know when she would wake up.
It seems I need to discuss this with my master and persuade him to cultivate, otherwise those things can't be taken as casually as things in the kitchen.
Also, when she was taking those things, she realized that not everything can be copied.
For example, cars are not allowed. Nor are computers and mobile phones.
Even those tools cannot be copied.
It seems the one below does have some sense of proportion.
That makes sense. Things that can be copied can be made outside, but things that can't be copied can't be made outside.
The way of Heaven remains unchanged...
room
Dongfang Jin recounted to Gu Chenglin how she had managed to retrieve items from the spatial storage.
Gu Chenglin suppressed the turmoil in his heart and hugged Dongfang Jin, saying, "I'm here for you. I'll always be with you."
Dongfang Jin pouted: "I just saw those things and felt compelled to speak."
"Okay, you don't need to cry anymore. I will always be with you."
When are you leaving?
"Honey, for safety's sake, I'm planning to go alone so I won't attract attention. What do you think?"
"That's good, but how will you get into the army camp?"
“Isn’t Long Er here? He must have something on him that allows him to enter the military camp.”
What he really wanted to say was that he didn't need to go through so much trouble to get into the military camp; he just needed to find the sentries.
But he couldn't say these things. It wasn't easy for the general to train those spies. If they were exposed, the losses would be devastating.
Dongfang Jin gave him two Qiankun bags: "Don't reveal your Qiankun bags."
"I know. When I get to Longhu Pass, I'll rent a house in a nearby city. You can get some rest while I go pack those things."
"Ah."
Gu Chenglin got up and left after Dongfang Jin fell asleep.
When I arrived in the kitchen, I saw Ruyi's small figure still busy at work.
"Ruyi, what's wrong with my wife today? Why is she crying?"
As one wishes……
Is this what it means to be someone's husband?
He doesn't understand his wife at all.
