Qiao Guangyuan felt completely relaxed after submitting the issue.
The only regret now was that Su Xiaotian had not yet been tricked into coming to school.
But this was a long-term issue, no rush, there were still three or four years.
This matter still had to be left to Su Wureng.
The next day was the last day of training.
The last day of training, the morning was the final assessment of this training, and the afternoon was only the graduation ceremony.
The ceremony was not long and ended relatively early.
After half a month of training, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The school also generously announced a day off for students participating in military training.
The students, who had been rigorously trained for such a long time, suddenly relaxed and all expressed their desire to rest well.
Su Xiaotian did not plan to rest, but was eager to go home.
Her brother would be leaving the capital the day after tomorrow, and his time at home was limited, so Su Xiaotian, as his sister, naturally had to accompany him home.
Seeing Su Xiaotian's anxious look, Zhao Hongmei and others smiled.
"You're so anxious! Today is Tuesday, tomorrow is a day off, and after two more days of classes, it will be the weekend!"
"My brother is leaving the capital to go back on Thursday!" Su Xiaotian said concisely.
Zhao Hongmei quickly nodded and said, "Then you should hurry home, don't delay family reunion time."
Su Xiaotian carried a large bag, filled with lunch boxes, glass bottles, and the like.
This week, she might also bring back some food, so she had to take her belongings with her.
As she walked to the door, Su Xiaotian suddenly remembered something very important.
"Hongmei, I won't wait for them to wake up and come back. Tell everyone to come to our house for dinner tomorrow."
This was something Su Xiaotian and Su Wureng had discussed.
They were hosting a dinner at their home tomorrow. Su Wureng invited his comrades, a total of twenty-seven people, and Su Xiaotian invited her dorm mates to eat at home, but the number of people was uncertain.
Chu Yue was going home, Yin Ruyun was definitely going home, and even if she wasn't going home, she probably wouldn't be going.
Counting them up, it was over thirty people.
When they first discussed it, Su Wureng was a bit hesitant.
Over thirty people was almost like a banquet.
Although their family owned a restaurant, they couldn't stop the business to host a meal, right?
But Su Xiaotian said, "We can just eat at home."
Su Wureng asked, "Eat at home? How? Can you cook?"
He certainly couldn't.
"We'll have hot pot and barbecue at home."
In later generations, many gatherings involved hot pot and barbecue.
"Hot pot and barbecue? Will that be enough?" It sounded too fancy, and would they not be full?
"Brother, I bought two big hot pot stoves and two barbecue grills before."
Although Su Wureng wasn't sure if this would work, since his little sister said so, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
Yes, his little sister was so trustworthy!
In the instructor's dormitory, Su Wureng left the address of Yimingge for his comrades and invited them to his home as guests, then he also left in a hurry.
The comrades were actually a bit hesitant about this.
There were twenty or thirty of them, marching over in a large group, was that really okay?
However, since Su Wureng had already invited them, it seemed impolite not to go.
Their relationship had been quite good over the past two years.
In the end, after much deliberation, these young men decided to pool money to buy gifts.
They set a small goal: to bring all the food they might consume tomorrow.
Su Wureng's family was generously treating them to a meal, so they couldn't let their family lose too much money.
"We can't bring rice, flour, and oil, can we?" Lu Yang said with distress.
It was not wrong to bring things when visiting, but bringing rice, flour, and oil would be a joke.
Others naturally thought of this problem too.
Not to mention that rice, flour, and oil were inconvenient to carry, even vegetables, carrying a large bag each didn't look good.
In the end, everyone decided to buy meat, chicken, duck, and fish, and some fruits, in short, the gifts must not be light.
After returning home, Su Xiaotian and her brother informed their family about inviting comrades and classmates to a gathering at home.
Grandma Su was overjoyed and repeatedly said that this was as it should be.
She was even considering whether to temporarily close the restaurant for a day to entertain these children.
"Grandma, it's better not to close the restaurant, we can manage at home," Su Wureng quickly dissuaded her.
Then, Su Wureng explained Su Xiaotian's previous plan to Grandma Su.
The courtyard was quite large, so they could set up tables in the courtyard for barbecue and hot pot.
Su Xiaotian also smiled, "Grandma, you focus on running the shop, we'll have fun ourselves."
Although Grandma Su was still worried, what the children said was also correct. If they really invited them to Yimingge, perhaps the children would feel a bit uneasy.
But with no one cooking at home, this was also a troublesome issue.
"Leaving you people who can't cook at home, what will you eat? Can I rest assured?" Grandma Su expressed doubt.
"Grandma, you just need to simmer some soup base for us, and we'll eat and cook ourselves, it's not difficult," Su Xiaotian said.
With so many people, eating other things was indeed not easy to manage. Having hot pot and barbecue, paired with apricot skin water, was simple, quick, and convenient to eat, no problem.
Grandma Su thought about it, and it made sense.
It's just that most of the people coming tomorrow were young men, would hot pot and barbecue be enough for them?
"I'll cook some dishes tomorrow and send them to your house," she said.
Staple food also needed to be prepared. Since the children were coming home, they couldn't let them go back hungry.
Su Wureng thought about it and said he would come and pick them up, so there was no need to send them specifically.
The family talked cheerfully and settled the matters for tomorrow before going back to rest.
Liang Xiu had some trouble sleeping that night. She had finally seen her son, but only met him a few times, and he was leaving again.
"Don't think about it, the child has grown up," Su Laosan was very understanding.
Not only Wureng, but also Xiao Ba and Xiaotian, they would not be with them forever in the future.
Liang Xiu understood, but after all, she was a mother, and she was somewhat reluctant.
Her husband comforted her a few words, and she thought it through.
"I know what you're saying, but I just keep thinking, I don't know when we'll see each other next time."
In another room, Su Wureng also couldn't sleep.
Choosing to join the army was following his heart.
But now he couldn't be by his family's side, and he felt uncomfortable.
Especially after hearing from Xiaotian that the family planned to leave Yimingge to him, he felt even more indebted to his family.
He tossed and turned until midnight before finally falling asleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, the Su family went to the restaurant early, leaving only Su Xiaotian and Su Wureng, brother and sister, at home.
