Chapter 399 Shen Zui's Letter
Chu Mingzhou was amused and tapped Su Nuannuan's nose, saying.

"Okay. You must be hungry after working so hard. I'll go cook."

Su Nuannuan nodded happily.

Since getting married, Su Nuannuan has rarely entered the kitchen. The kitchen is now Chu Mingzhou's other workplace.

Chu Mingzhou has a strong learning ability. Su Nuannuan can perfectly replicate the recipe after she explains how to make the dish.

Chu Mingzhou didn't find cooking tiring at all; on the contrary, he felt a sense of happiness in the simplicity of life.

While eating, Su Nuannuan told Chu Mingzhou that the hospital would be transferring a patient from Wushi City who came specifically to have surgery with her.

After she finished speaking, Su Nuannuan sighed to Chu Mingzhou.

"I'm a celebrity in the hospital now! Comrade Chu, you'll have more face when you come to the hospital to see me in the future."

Chu Mingzhou smiled and served Su Nuannuan a bowl of black chicken soup, echoing his sentiment.

"Yes. I'll need Dr. Su to take good care of me from now on."

Su Nuannuan was so flattered by the praise that she felt like she was floating on air. Her little face was flushed, and she looked just like a little apple.

Looking at Su Nuannuan's adorable appearance, Chu Mingzhou's eyes reflected a gentle smile.

Having nothing to do in the afternoon, Su Nuannuan went back to Hongqi Village.

When she went back last time, she met Jiang Fu and his son, so she didn't go to see Shen Zhihe.

Perfect timing, I can take this opportunity to visit Shen Zhihe.

Su Nuannuan brought some rice and flour wrapped in newspaper and put them in a bamboo basket. Then, she took some roasted pork strips.

These pork strips can be eaten dry or cooked with porridge, which is very convenient. Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou specially made them for Shen Zhihe and his wife.

They live in the cowshed, but things are different now. There are many people living in the cowshed now, and people still have to close their mouths when they eat.

Chu Mingzhou had to go to the factory in the afternoon, so Su Nuannuan said goodbye to him, got on her bicycle, and returned to Hongqi Village.

On her way back, Su Nuannuan saw a tractor carrying a group of young men and women dressed in dresses and white shirts heading towards the countryside.

Su Nuannuan only glanced at it briefly before leaving without paying any attention.

However, the people on the tractor saw the beautiful Su Nuannuan clearly.

The young men and women were at an age of liveliness and curiosity. In this backward countryside, the sudden sight of such a beautiful girl piqued the curiosity of many.

A young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes asked the uncle driving the tractor next to him.

"Hello, comrade, is that comrade who also came with us to the countryside to build our motherland?"

The tractor driver glanced in Su Nuannuan's direction and recognized her immediately.

"How could that be? She's from Hongqi Village, and she's a college student from Beijing University. Now she's a doctor at the county hospital, something you little kids can't compare to."

When the tractor driver introduced Su Nuannuan, his tone was filled with undisguised pride.

Although he and Su Nuannuan weren't from the same village, they were from the same commune, which, in a sense, meant they came from the same place.

Su Nuannuan's name was already well-known in several communes near Hongqi Village when she was admitted to Beijing University.

The following year, three more members of the Su family were admitted to university. Almost everyone in the nearby communes knew the Su Jianjun family from Hongqi Village.

They are the pride of the county and its celebrities.

Don't be fooled by the well-dressed men and women working on the tractor; they act arrogant and superior when facing the tractor driver.

In reality, they were very uneasy.

Those who come to this remote, rural area are mostly unemployed people. In fact, they are children who have been abandoned by their families.

After all, when the policy of sending children to the countryside was first implemented, as long as you spent money and used connections, you could get the children sent to the countryside assigned to nearby schools.

Even if they were assigned to rural areas near Beijing, as long as they met the policy requirements, no one would interfere. Therefore, the group of people assigned to Hongqi Village were essentially impoverished.

Upon hearing about Su Nuannuan's background, many people showed expressions of surprise and envy.

On the other side, Su Nuannuan rode her bicycle and quickly returned to Hongqi Village.

In addition to the supplies she brought to Shen Zhihe, Su Nuannuan also cut two jin of pork for Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting as an extra meal.

When Su Nuannuan returned home, only Chen Xiuting was there.

She was fiddling with the fan when she saw Su Nuannuan, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

Su Nuannuan's eyes widened, and she pointed at the fan that Chen Xiuting was fiddling with, somewhat shocked.

"Mom, where did you get this fan?"

Su Nuannuan was not excited that the provincial capital of Heilongjiang in the 60s was so developed that even the small Hongqi Village had fans.

It wasn't that Su Nuannuan didn't believe her family had the means to buy a fan, but rather that Yuanhua County simply didn't have the channels to obtain one.

At this moment, Chen Xiuting's smile widened.

“It’s all thanks to your older brother! A few days ago, he wrote to say that his company was giving him a bonus. He also said that when he has the chance, he’ll get one for you and Mingzhou too.”

Su Nuannuan looked around the fan. It was fully automatic, with a knob, and a three-dimensional design. Although it was a bit bulky, the airflow was very strong.

The only downside is that the fan is a bit noisy when it's running.

Even so, Chen Xiuting still liked it very much.

Su Nuannuan, however, showed no interest whatsoever. She shook her head and refused.

"This fan is too noisy, I don't want it."

Summer in Heilongjiang Province is short, with only a few days of real heat, so Su Nuannuan really doesn't need a fan.

Seeing Su Nuannuan's disgusted look, Chen Xiuting shook her head, as if to say, "Su Nuannuan doesn't know what's good for her."

Su Nuannuan: ...

After fiddling with the fan, Chen Xiuting reluctantly put it away. It wasn't hot enough yet, so there was no need to use the fan.

Chen Xiuting handed a letter to Su Nuannuan, along with a military green package.

"This is the letter and package Erqiang sent you. Your father and I haven't read it."

Su Nuannuan nodded and accepted the package and letter.

Then, she opened the envelope right in front of Chen Xiuting.

It's more accurate to say that the letter was written by Shen Zui than by Su Erqiang.

The handwriting on the letter was delicate and graceful, without a trace of a man's roughness. Having been pen pals with Shen Zui for so long, Su Nuannuan recognized the letter as hers at a glance.

Shen Zui succinctly stated that she and Su Erqiang had already obtained their marriage certificate and had even held a group wedding at the military base.

The fact that no members of the Su family attended the wedding made Su Erqiang and Shen Zui feel very guilty.

I am writing this letter to apologize, but also to share some good news.

In the letter, Shen Zui briefly explained what had happened, and also mentioned that his parents had given them a house and invited them to visit them when they had time.

After reading the entire letter, Su Nuannuan sighed.

Second Brother really found a powerful patron.

He got a house right after getting married and enlisting in the army; my second brother is truly the pinnacle of the gigolo world.
