When the security guard returned, the atmosphere between the two men had grown even more oppressive. If they had been on a training field, they might have already started fighting in the manner of men.

The guard’s forehead, freshly wiped of cold sweat, was again beaded with perspiration. He couldn’t use the same escape tactic twice, so he racked his brain for a solution. His gaze fell on the large lunch box on the small table, and he finally found a topic to break the ice.

“Ah, sir,” he began, “where did you get this takeout? It looks absolutely delicious. Is it from the Golden Sun? Our deputy commander frequents there too. Business must be booming these days. The lunch box is also well made. It looks like it was custom designed.”

Su Shen’s gaze fell on the lunch box in front of him. The gloom in his eyes dissipated, replaced by warmth and pride. “My wife prepared it for me,” he said. “She’s always worried I won’t eat well. There are two more boxes in the bag. She designed the lunch box too. She’s a wise woman, and I will always love her.”

Meanwhile, in Jifu New Village, Gu Zi had finished her work for the day. It was only three in the afternoon, too early to start preparing dinner. Her sons wouldn’t be home from school until four ten. Feeling energetic, she decided to find something to do. She carried her daughter, Su Le, downstairs and sat on the doorstep leading to the backyard, putting on rain boots for both of them.

“We can cultivate this wasteland in the backyard,” she mused, “plant some peppers and tomatoes, and some seasonal vegetables. It would be great to have our own little vegetable garden. Lele, let’s get started. The first step is weeding!”

Gu Zi felt a sense of satisfaction. She had transformed a small plot of land in front of her rural home into a beautiful vegetable garden. Now, with this larger plot, she could plan even more freely.

Gu Zi handed a small hoe, specially made for her daughter, to Su Le. Holding her hand, they walked towards the wasteland. Su Le swung the little hoe in her hand, echoing her mother’s words, “Mommy and Lele, first step, weeding, charge!”
