Chapter 90: Seeking Refuge
"You take a break first, I can handle it."
"It’s alright, I can do it." Sun Chan took a deep breath and smiled sweetly. She really didn’t mind doing so much work; it was much easier than her previous life. She picked up his military water bottle, took several large gulps, and then handed it to Gu Junming.
Gu Junming didn’t take it. Instead, he grabbed her hand and said, "Let me do it, you’re not our family laborer. It’s too tiring for you!"
Seeing her bright smile, her cheeks slightly red from the sun, and the beads of sweat on her nose, he couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss her forehead. Sun Chan was stunned, then saw Gu Junming turn around to harvest the rice. Upon closer inspection, his ears were red.
Sun Chan looked at him for a few seconds, then pursed her lips and started to laugh.
After the two finished their work, they went back to eat a simple meal before taking a villager’s bumpy car to leave. Gu Junming’s leave was up, and he had to head back quickly.
Father Wang just said a few words telling him to be a good soldier, standing by the roadside with his hands behind his back, looking very serious. Yet Mrs. Wang seemed a bit reluctant, handing the boiled eggs left over from the morning to Gu Junming. She turned her back to her son, fighting tears. Wang Shufen and Ding Kang also stood at the side to see him off.
Gu Junming shouted loudly, "I’ll be back for the New Year, Mom, don’t worry!"
"Alright, I got it, go back and treat the girl well!" Father Wang waved his hand, watching the vehicle go farther and farther.
Su Miao’s house was at the village entrance, so the vehicle went past the Tian Family first.
