Chapter 183 Shen Xiaochuan Departs 2

After quickly sorting and placing all the medicines properly, Shen Xiaoxiao carefully put them into a meticulously sewn cloth bag.

Although the cloth bag looks ordinary, the stitches are fine, indicating that she put a lot of thought into making it.

Then, she walked out lightly, carrying the cloth bag full of medicine in both hands.

"Brother, I've worked hard to prepare all these medicines for you these past two days! I've written down the usage and dosage of each medicine on a piece of paper and stuck it on the outside of the bottle. Make sure you read it carefully and remember to bring them all."

As she spoke, Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and handed the small cloth bag in her hand to Shen Xiaochuan.

Shen Xiaochuan happily accepted the cloth bag: "Thank you, little sister!" He knew all too well that his sister's medicine-making skills were unmatched by ordinary people.

Just recently, I accidentally got injured and bled a lot.

Fortunately, the bleeding from the wound was stopped in time, and then the wound medicine prepared by his sister was applied.

The medicine was incredibly effective! Within a few days, the wound began to scab over and heal, without any signs of infection or inflammation.

"Hey brother, we're like family, no need to be so polite! If you need any medicine in the future, just send me a telegram or call our village committee."

"As soon as I receive the message, I will definitely send it to you immediately," Shen Xiaoxiao promised.

Shen Zishan slowly took out the slightly worn but very neatly organized backpack. He gently patted the backpack and said to Shen Xiaochuan in a serious tone.

“Son, look, Dad has already taken all those things out for you. In this bag, there are only your two sets of clothes left to change into.”

"If you find anything missing when you get there, be sure to send a telegram back to let us know, and your parents will send it to you immediately."

With a happy expression, Shen Xiaochuan stretched out his hands and solemnly accepted the heavy military backpack. He softly replied to his father, "Thank you, Dad. You've worked hard."

After saying that, she carefully put the medicine that her younger sister, Shen Xiaoxiao, had carefully made into her backpack.

At this moment, the mother, Ma Aning, came forward from the kitchen, carrying a package full of food.

She looked at Shen Xiaochuan with loving eyes and said gently, "Son, this is all the food your mother prepared for you to eat on the road."

"Try to finish them today, it would be such a waste if they spoiled if left for too long."

"There's also some meat sauce and mushroom sauce I made here. These don't spoil easily, so they can be stored for a while. I can buy some steamed buns on the train, spread some of this sauce on them, and they'll be absolutely delicious."

"Okay, thank you, Mom!" Shen Xiaochuan replied with a smile, then took the package from his mother and quickly stuffed it into his already bulging backpack.

Ma Aning reached into her pocket again and rummaged around before pulling out a small bag made from scraps of cloth.

As she handed the small bag to Shen Xiaochuan, she carefully instructed him, "Son, as the saying goes, 'A poor family should be frugal on the road.' You must keep this money safe. If you ever need money, don't hesitate to use it."

However, Shen Xiaochuan gently shook his head, his gaze unwavering as he refused, "Mom, don't worry about me, I really do have money on me."

"You and Dad should keep this money for yourselves! Rest when you can, don't fight over doing heavy work, and don't worry about me! I can take good care of myself."

His voice was steady and powerful, as if he had instantly transformed into a mature man.

Just then, as if suddenly remembering something, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly took out a somewhat old but well-preserved passbook from her pocket—actually from her spatial storage—and handed it to Shen Xiaochuan.

He said, "Mom and Dad, you should keep the money for yourselves. Brother, don't forget, some of the money is still with me!"

As she spoke, she gently shook the passbook in her hand.

Then, Shen Xiaoxiao carefully opened the passbook, pointed to the numbers on it, and said seriously, "This is your money for marriage, I've always kept it safe in the bank for you."

"Here's the passbook for you, and 50 yuan in cash. Keep it safe and don't lose it!" With that, she stuffed the 50 yuan in cash and the passbook into Shen Xiaochuan's hand without hesitation.

Feeling his sister's concern, Shen Xiaochuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but he still gently declined, saying, "You can keep this money for yourself. I don't need to spend any money when I go to the army. They provide food and lodging."

"And you get a monthly allowance too. Once the allowance is paid out, I'll save it up for your dowry, okay?"

As he spoke, he reached out and gently ruffled Chen Xiaoxiao's hair, his tone unconsciously revealing a hint of doting affection.

Hearing this, Shen Xiaoxiao was displeased. She suddenly raised her head, glared at Shen Xiaochuan, and said reproachfully, "Hmph, don't give me that! You always talk to me like that, as if I'm some little kid."

"Don't forget, we were only born a few minutes apart," she complained, but she knew in her heart that her brother said this because he loved her.
