My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 672 - 226 Family Letter_3

Du Xixi chuckled lightly, then thought of something and took out a cloth bag that she kept close to her chest. In addition to supplies, Du Xixi also brought some special "gifts."

"These are letters from your families, entrusted to me to bring to you." Du Xixi’s casual words instantly drew everyone’s attention, and they crowded around her. They hadn’t expected there would be such a big surprise waiting for them besides the supplies!

Had it not been for Du Xixi’s status and upbringing keeping everyone in check, they would have rushed forward to snatch the cloth bag. Family letters... How could the Si Family who had been away from home for so long not want them?

Du Xixi understood everyone’s excitement; she also felt the weight of the cloth bag in her hands was significant, which is why she carried it herself and brought it to deliver in person. She opened the bag, and the thick bundles of letters appeared directly in front of everyone.

"I don’t know everyone’s names, so please come forward and take yours." Naturally, Du Xixi knew the officers’ names, but she didn’t know which names corresponded to the officers. She’d been busy missing Ke Lian, spending her last few days gathering supplies and training her body, and all she could do was steal a glance at the officer lists whenever she found time.

But once the officers restrained themselves and orderly stepped forward to claim their letters, Du Xixi matched the names on the letters, memorizing their faces for now, her memory good enough to not mess up in the future.

"There’s one extra?" Ke Lian noticed that while everyone had taken theirs, there was still a letter in Du Xixi’s hand, out of curiosity he approached to see if someone mistakenly left their letter behind, only to find the recipient written on the envelope was "Ke Lian."

Ke Lian was startled, having not connected the matter of claiming letters with himself, considering his family had personally come here, so naturally, he wouldn’t need any family letters.

"Mine?" He remarked with some bafflement, suspecting this envelope might just be ceremonial, its seemingly thick appearance possibly hiding emptiness. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"It’s from Dad and them, even Brother wrote you a letter." Du Xixi placed the letter into Ke Lian’s hand, her tone gentle, carrying a tenderness familiar to Ke Lian as she looked at him, "They all miss you, even Brother isn’t an exception."

Chen Yin had always been at odds with Ke Lian over the years, even after taking up the title of older brother-in-law, he never ceased his overt and covert jibes. But after the incident with Ke Lian, Chen Yin found himself somewhat missing Ke Lian, and when Du Xixi asked if he wanted to write a letter, he awkwardly hid in a corner to pen it.

Du Xixi remembered how Chen Yin refused to let her see the contents back then and thought maybe Chen Yin actually cared about Ke Lian, thus she was curious about what Chen Yin wrote in the letter, glancing at it furtively.

"You..." Initially, Ke Lian didn’t think much of it, believing there wasn’t anything to hide between him and Du Xixi. But Du Xixi’s curious gaze was all too conspicuous, making Ke Lian suddenly feel the letter in his hand burning. Hesitantly, he gestured towards a large chunk of meat unknown in the cave’s corner, "Why don’t you go check out that meat? We caught it last night, originally thought we’d try cooking it ourselves."

Food had been scarce, and Ke Lian and the others wouldn’t want themselves to starve, so when they encountered a giant beast attacking them last night, they gritted their teeth and killed it, managing to slice a big chunk from its hind leg with their military knives.

Had it not been for 2569 and Du Xixi’s arrival, they were likely pondering how to cook the meat without burning it.

Ke Lian’s words were just to send Du Xixi away, she immediately pouted disapprovingly, though she was simply curious, not insisting to look, and after casting Ke Lian a sidelong glance, she went with 2569 to investigate the beast meat.

Unfamiliar meat in an unfamiliar world... Du Xixi’s hands itched, thinking perhaps it’s time to put the knives she prepared to use.

Watching Du Xixi’s departing figure, Ke Lian sighed in relief. He opened the letter, quickly skimmed through Chen Yin’s words, feeling even more glad that he hadn’t let Du Xixi peek at it. Otherwise... Du Xixi would certainly be upset.

In the past, Chen Yin had also corresponded with Ke Lian a few times. Especially after Ke Lian and Du Xixi got married, Chen Yin frequently wrote letters to annoy Ke Lian.

At one point, he earnestly reminded Ke Lian to treat Du Xixi well, or else he would definitely deal with Ke Lian. At another point, he suggested Ke Lian and Du Xixi to separate, seeing some talented young lads more suitable for Du Xixi...

Today’s letter was unquestionably in Chen Yin’s typical style, only four brief lines in the letter, summarizing into one laughable sentence—Too bad you haven’t died, otherwise I could persuade Xixi to remarry.

Ke Lian coldly laughed, thinking he must live well, otherwise how would he return to express his "gratitude" to his "good" brother-in-law?
