"Why did you chop up so much firewood? This firewood can last us until next summer," Qiao Mei said.
"I'm worried that there's no one to chop up the firewood after I go back. It'll be easier for grandfather if I prepare more," Xia Zhe said.
As Xia Zhe counted the days, he realized that it was almost time for him to go back. He did not expect one month's vacation leave to pass so quickly.
Qiao Mei originally thought that they still had a lot of time. One month was a long time and the two of them had plenty of time to spend together. Now that the deadline was almost up, she felt reluctant to part with him.
"Then when are you leaving?" Qiao Mei said as she looked at Xia Zhe sadly.
Xia Zhe stroked Qiao Mei's head. If it was possible, he also wished he could be by Qiao Mei's side at all times. He had devoted himself to the army for so many years and had not taken a single day off. Actually, he still had more than a month's vacation leave left.
