Chu Molin made sure all the things were packed up and thrown away, then clapped his hands and headed towards the finish line.

Half an hour later, another group arrived at the riverbank, looking around.

When they saw that there was a black spot on the ground, they crouched down to take a closer look.

They found out that it was charcoal left by a fire, so they understood what was going on and followed the same steps.

They also looked for sticks to spear fish and dry firewood to roast the fish.

In this way, everyone who traveled along this route by the river prepared their food supply in the same way.

As for the first and second company commanders who did not follow the river, they went nearby to look for wild rabbits, pheasants, and snakes. Both Sun Wenbin’s group and Li Bings group had good luck as well.

Sun Wenbin and his team caught a wild rabbit and a snake.

Li Bing and his team caught a pheasant and two snakes.

Although the food was not plentiful, it was enough to last them for a while.

So they were all very satisfied, considering the limited time they had to hunt.

Their luck in finding these food resources was indeed good.

They each went to look for water sources, filled their canteens, and cleaned up the food before roasting it.

After they finished eating and put out the fire, they moved on to the next location.

After all, they didn’t know what kind of challenges awaited them along the journey.

They were not wrong in their guess, as the road ahead was not as smooth as the first part.

This is all for later; let’s not mention it now.

After Qin Xue finished training them and had lunch,

She told Fang Hong that she would not be going back to the shop in the afternoon, as she wanted to write a letter to send back home.

Fang Hong, seeing that Qin Xue didn’t go back, decided not to return to the shop either and stayed to accompany Qin Xue.

Qin Xue asked Guo Aiguo for some writing paper and a pen, then took the paper and pen back to the conference room and sat down to write the letter.

Fang Hong didn’t disturb Qin Xue while she was writing and just sat on a chair on the other side of the conference room, resting her head on the table.

Qin Xue looked at the paper and pen in her hand and didn’t know how to start writing the letter.

After thinking for a while, she finally wrote on the paper:

Dear Mom and Dad,

How are you? How is your health? Is everything alright at home?

Don’t overwork yourselves and ruin your health.

If you want to eat something and have the ration coupons for it, go buy and eat it, don’t be too thrifty.

If you run out of money, just tell me, and I will send you some.

Don’t worry about me not having money, so don’t hesitate to ask me if you need any.

I’m doing well in the army, please don’t worry about me.

I’m really sorry for not writing you a letter for such a long time; please forgive my mistake.

In these past months, Chu Molin went on a mission.

And because I had some things to deal with, I didn’t write you a letter either.

I have some good news for you; I’m pregnant, expecting twins!

Chu Molin and 1 are both very happy; are you happy as well?

By the way, how are my younger siblings? What do they usually do?

Chu Molin originally planned to take leave and accompany me back home to see you.

But he just returned from a months-long mission a few days ago, and then he received a special training task.

So he went on the special training mission and might not have time to take me back home.

Therefore, I can only write to let you know; I hope you understand.

I can’t go back to take care of you and fulfill my filial duties.

Please use the money I sent to buy something delicious, and don’t hesitate to spend it if you need anything.

I can make money now, so don’t worry about us; my husband and I are doing well here, please rest assured.

I won’t say much more, but I wish you good health and smooth sailing in everything you do.

With respect, your daughter,

Qin Xue

Looking at the letter she wrote, Qin Xue was unsure of what else to say.

She only put down the pen after rambling on about various things.

She took out some ration coupons and *300 from her backpack, put them into the envelope, and planned to take them to the post office for mailing.

Qin Xue thought about drawing and making some sets of men’s clothes for her father, Chu Molin, and her siblings to wear.

As for her mother and sister, her mother could wear a cheongsam, while her sister could wear a dress or a princess-style tutu.

When the clothes are ready, she would send them together. If she sent them now for her mom and sister without anything for her dad and brother, that would not be very nice!

So she decided to wait until next time. Qin Xue sealed the envelope, wrote down the address, placed it carefully in her backpack, and planned to buy postage stamps and mail the letter in the afternoon..
