"Nian He, don't go to the canteen at noon. Come to my house to eat."

Near noon, Guan Manling made an invitation.

"Huh? Aren't you not cooking at home?" Lin Nianhe was confused.

"Can you get used to the big pot of rice in our cafeteria?" Guan Manling laughed out loud, "I didn't prepare anything yesterday, so I couldn't help you turn on a small stove. Lao Wu went shopping this morning. Let's eat at my house, Yafei Together too.”

Guan Manling enthusiastically pulled the two of them into the house and suggested: "Nianhe, why don't you go find your partner later? Let Lao Wu have a drink with him."

"He still has a job and can't drink," Lin Nianhe explained first and said, "There's no need to call him, he will come over."

"How can he be such a god? He has never been to my house."

Guan Manling didn't believe it.

But I didn't believe it for only 5 minutes.

Well, Su Yuncheng followed Lao Wu.

"Brother Yun Cheng." Lin Nianhe was choosing vegetables. When he saw him coming in, he looked up and smiled.

Su Yuncheng rubbed her head and nodded to Guan Manling: "Sorry to bother you."

"What's a meal? If Nianhe hadn't helped us get medicine last winter, we wouldn't have had much trouble."

"Huh? What should I say?" Lin Nianhe looked at her curiously, "Night blindness isn't that serious, right?"

Night blindness is neither a minor nor a serious condition.

When there is really no other way, the worst thing is to hide in the house and sleep after dark without going out. Many of them have survived the winter this way in the past.

But the problem is-

"Last year we had the task of setting up electric wires," Guan Manling said. "As you know, it gets dark early here in winter and the snow is thick. We have to walk on two legs. How fast can we walk? So we can only send comrades who are not sick. Went to work... There were a few young soldiers who failed to come back before dark. They suddenly fell ill and couldn't see anything... When I found them the next day..."

Guan Manling couldn't talk any more and lowered her eyes to chop vegetables.

Lin Nianhe paused while choosing vegetables and looked at Sun Yafei in disbelief, as if he wanted her to tell him that this was a lie.

Sun Yafei also had red eyes, pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.

No one spoke in the room, only the sound of chopping vegetables.

Lin Nianhe was silent for a long time and said softly: "This year I sent you vitamins this morning...are those from last year enough?"

Sun Yafei gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded.

Lin Nianhe didn't know how to comfort them.To her, those people were respectable brave men, but to them they were brothers and comrades who lived together day and night.

How can a light "sorrow" be enough to comfort someone?
Old Wu suddenly said: "Stop talking about this, Ling'er, Shen Tuan has just given the transfer order. You will leave early tomorrow morning to take turns at Station No. 18."

"what?"

At this moment, everyone's attention was diverted.

Guan Manling held the kitchen knife and was a little confused: "Why is it so sudden? Didn't it say next week?"

"There was a heavy rain a few days ago, and the lesbians in Class [-] got a bad cold, so I asked you to go there a few days in advance so that they can come back and go to the hospital."

When it came to business, Old Wu talked more than usual. He looked at Guan Manling with eyes full of reluctance and worry.

Guan Manling frowned and glared at him: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have to notify everyone to pack their luggage!" "Don't worry," Lao Wu stopped her, "I've already informed you that I won't leave until tomorrow morning. Enough time to pack.”

Guan Manling breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and picked up the kitchen knife again, but looked at Lin Nianhe worriedly.

She said: "Nianhe, I'm leaving tomorrow. Don't be polite to your brother-in-law. If you're not used to big pot rice, come home and cook it yourself. But your brother-in-law can't help. He can only cook noodles, and they taste really bad." .”

Lin Nianhe responded first, and then looked at Su Yuncheng.

You didn't need to ask Su Yuncheng to know what she was thinking. He asked, "Do you want to take a look?"

"Yeah." Lin Nianhe nodded honestly.

Su Yuncheng turned to look at Old Wu and asked, "Company Commander Wu, how did you get there?"

"Driving the group's car...Comrade Lin also wants to have a look?" Old Wu hesitated, "But Station No. 18 is a bit far from our place. If we leave early in the morning, we can't return until the next day."

Su Yuncheng lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Nianhe: "You want to spend the night outside, are you not afraid of wolves?"

Lin Nianhe: "You don't have to be afraid."

Guan Manling said before that they were going to the station by the river. If there were wolves there, she would jump into the river, get into the rescue cabin, wait until the weather calmed down, and then find a suitable place to climb ashore... It was not difficult to stay alive.

Moreover, there is another reason why Lin Nianhe wants to go - she really wants to write some stories about them now.

Some excuses become true through borrowing.

Su Yuncheng saw her pleading look, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "I'll drive with you tomorrow, and we can be back before evening."

The Xingtuan's car wasn't as good as his, and naturally it wasn't as fast.Even if he really couldn't make it back, he could still stay with her.

Su Yuncheng couldn't rest assured that Lin Nianhe was here by himself.

"Huh? Forget it, your work is important, I don't..."

"It doesn't matter," Su Yuncheng interrupted Lin Nianhe's refusal and said with a smile, "It's just one day, no delay."

There is really no need to delay. He has to investigate nearly a hundred cases in the past ten years, so he is really not in a hurry for a day and a half.

The other three people listened to them talk, Sun Yafei pursed her lips and smiled, while Guan Manling was having a quarrel with Lao Wu, secretly poking at each other as if they had a thousand words to say.

After lunch, Lin Nianhe and the others said goodbye with a wink, leaving the little time they had for the young couple.

Su Yuncheng had to go to work, so Lin Nianhe simply followed Sun Yafei to her dormitory and helped her pack her luggage.

"How long will each of your shifts last like this?"

"Every three months," Sun Yafei said in a very low voice with eyes crooked as she smiled, "I can avoid half of the autumn harvest!"

"Don't you have to work there?" Lin Nianhe said with a smile.

"Fishing and standing guard are very tiring, but you can eat fish." Sun Yafei swallowed, her voice still very low, "You don't know, there are actually two comrades in our class who can't swim, just because... hey-hey."

Lin Nianhe was taken aback: "That's so dangerous. What if...what should I do?"

The river is not a swimming pool. The open and undercurrents are unpredictable. Those who know how to swim may be swept away. Those who don't know how to swim will go fishing?Isn’t that seeking death?
"Oh, you have also seen that although we can fill our stomachs here, the food is really..." Sun Yafei wrinkled her nose, obviously she couldn't get used to the big pot of rice here, "And the rest of us know how to drink water, so go They won’t be allowed to go fishing over there, they will be responsible for the logistics.”

Looking at Sun Yafei's thin arms, Lin Nianhe sighed silently.

She felt they were risking their lives.
