Night had fallen, and lights were shining in every household.
Having hung the rag in the bathroom, Cheng Su finally sat down on a small stool to rest, cradling half a cup of water in her hands. She gazed around at the loneliness of the room and felt somewhat dazed.
One person, one room—it was as if she had returned to her previous life, coming home after a day’s work to tranquility and serenity.
Indeed, it was only when she saw him that she deeply felt her married status; aside from that, Cheng Su hadn’t fully stepped into the role, especially when Qi Taiguo was away.
But when would that guy return, and was everything alright?
Cheng Su glanced at the door to the room where Qi Taiguo usually slept, pursed her lips, put down her cup, and twisted the doorknob to enter.
The room, even smaller than the master bedroom, contained only a bivouac. The light green thin blanket was folded neatly at the foot of the bed.
Behind the foot of the bed, there was a small desk with a cup and a few books on it. Cheng Su glanced at them and realized they were all military magazines and books.
On the desk, there was also a notebook and a pen. Cheng Su hesitated, picked it up, then set it down again.
"I’ll just look at his handwriting," she murmured, staring at the notebook for a minute.
Opening the notebook, she saw Qi Taiguo’s name written in bold and vigorous strokes; seeing the handwriting was as good as seeing the man himself, no mistake—it was indeed Qi Taiguo’s writing.
Looking further, Cheng Su paused. What was this, poetry?
A tough soldier, actually writing poetry?
Cheng Su read it softly, and it seemed to rhyme quite well.
Qi Taiguo had only finished junior high school. At a time when the production team was recruiting soldiers, his father signed him up. After the physical examination, he was selected and went off to join the military, leaving his high school education incomplete.
