Chapter 66 Confession

Seeing her mother-in-law was so anxious, Tang Yue didn't try to stop her and said, "Mom, there are tractors in the village. It would be faster and less tiring, and safer if you take a tractor."

"Okay, I get it. You should be careful," said Zhao's mother, and then she put on her hat and scarf and prepared to leave.

Tang Yue hurriedly shouted, "You can go to the brigade headquarters to find someone. Go straight ahead and there is a big square. The brigade headquarters is over there. There should be village cadres guarding it. You can just go and rent it."

Mother Zhao walked forward and waved her hands to indicate that she understood.

After Tang Yue saw her mother-in-law leave, she quickly put away the baby's clothes, went to the storage room to take out all the lost things, and went to the backyard to put away the frozen buckets at the back. She looked at the firewood shed in front of her, which was filled with densely packed things. She put them all away and left only a little bit. The pile was fluffy, and it looked like a large pile, but in reality there was only a little bit.

I went to the kitchen and piled up firewood next to the stove so that my mother-in-law would go to the backyard to get firewood and find that there was not much firewood. Fortunately, my mother-in-law had never been to the backyard.

After dressing warmly, Tang Yue left the hospital, locked the door, and went to the captain's house to get a letter of introduction. There was too much snow on the ground and she didn't dare to walk too fast for fear of slipping, so she walked slowly to the captain's house.

"Uncle, aunt, are you home?" Tang Yue called out while knocking on the door.

After a while, she heard a voice coming from inside, "I'm here, who is it?" Tang Yue thought the voice sounded like a little boy, and thought it might be the captain's son at home.

As the door opened, a head popped out from inside, "Who are you? I've never seen you before."

"You must be the captain's daughter, right? I've heard of you. Haven't you started school yet? I'm an educated youth in the village. My last name is Tang, so you can just call me Tang educated youth. Are your parents at home?"

"Then come in, my parents are at home," he said, and then he put his head in again and ran home, "Dad, Mom, someone is looking for you, named Tang Zhiqing."

Tang Yue pushed open the door and walked into the main room. The captain and his wife were staying at home for the winter. "Uncle, aunt, you are at home, why don't you come to visit us?"

When Aunt Guihua saw Tang Yue, she quickly and enthusiastically called her over to sit down, "Girl Yue, it's so cold, what are you doing here? Come and sit on the kang, it's too cold, I don't want to visit in such a cold day."

Tang Yue followed the local customs and took off her shoes and sat on the kang. "Aunt, I'm here to see my uncle. My mother-in-law came here specially to take me to my husband's place. I came here to ask my uncle to give me a letter of introduction and a certificate of household registration transfer."

The captain nodded, put on his shoes and went out. He could go to the brigade headquarters to get his stamp.

"Girl Yue, you're leaving so soon. You haven't been here for long. It's rare to meet such a hardworking girl. You should live a good life in the future. If you two discuss things together, life won't be too bad. Your mother-in-law came to pick you up specially, which shows that your in-laws are good." Aunt Guihua was afraid that Tang Yue would be angry and talk to her about how to get along with her husband and wife. She really liked this girl. Unlike other female educated youth who hooked up with unmarried young men in the village to help with work, she worked alone and was diligent and honest. It was rare.

Tang Yue also thinks her husband's family is pretty good. "My husband's family is really nice, and my brothers and sisters-in-law look nice too. I'm pregnant now, just one month pregnant, and I thought I'd go to my boyfriend's place once the baby is stable. My mother-in-law was worried about me going alone, so she came to pick me up and go with me, and take care of me at the same time."

"Really, you got pregnant right after getting married, this is good news. Have you gone to the hospital for a check-up to see how the baby is?" Aunt Guihua was very happy when she heard that she was pregnant. As she got older, she wanted to hear more happy events.

"I went to the hospital for a check-up and the fetus is fine." Tang Yue saw that her aunt was really happy for her, so she was also very happy.

"That's good. Hey, auntie, I don't know when I can see my own grandchildren. The eldest brother only comes back when he gets married, and I haven't seen any grandchildren since he gave birth. The second brother's family has been married for two years and there is no news. The old man is still here, but it's still not enough." Aunt Guihua always envies other people's grandchildren. In fact, she knows that the eldest brother is unwilling to come back and dislikes the countryside. The son can't persuade his wife. Even though the second brother's wife hasn't given birth for several days, her own son works under his father-in-law, and she dares not say a word. If she wants to hold her grandchildren, she can only count on her old man. Then she sighed and said nothing.

Tang Yue didn't dare to tell her that she was pregnant with quadruplets now, for fear of hurting her aunt's feelings, so she could only comfort her, "Maybe your second brother will have good news soon, so don't worry, if you want to see your grandchildren, ask your eldest brother to bring the babies back. If your daughter-in-law doesn't want to come back, then forget it. She won't be living with you in the future anyway, so it's enough for the two of them to live a good life. Is that what I mean, aunt?"

"You're right. I'll think about how to ask my eldest son to bring the baby back to me. I've come to terms with it now. When we get old, your uncle and I should be the only ones to keep us company. No one else can be relied upon," said Aunt Osmanthus with tears in her eyes.

"Aunt, my brother has no vacation in the army. It's not that he doesn't want to come back to see you, he just doesn't have time. My boyfriend also often goes on missions. The reason we can live such a stable life is because they are there to protect us. They sacrifice their families for everyone." Tang Yue really thinks so. Don't look at it too much now. In fact, there are still many spies out there, and they are there to defend our country.

"I know what you said. It's not easy for him to be here. I don't ask for anything else from him. I just want him to come back safely."

This is really a small yet great wish.

Tang Yue thought of her partner, who often went on missions regardless of weather conditions. She thought that she would get used to such a life in the future and would not become a burden to Zhao Shengrui. She would be a qualified military wife and said to herself in her heart that she would definitely be able to do it.

"Aunt, yes, your wish will come true." Tang Yue knew nothing else but to comfort Aunt Guihua.

At this time, the team leader came over with a letter of introduction and handed it to Tang Yue, "Tang Zhiqing, live a good life in the future. If you are not happy over there, come back. The team still welcomes you very much."

Tang Yue felt a lump in her throat when she heard this and tears almost fell. The captain was saying that she had the support of the brigade and that if she wasn't doing well, she could just come back and they would accept her.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will try my best to live a good life. If I don't live well, I will come back. Don't look down on me then", Tang Yue couldn't hold back her tears.

"Girl Yue, don't cry, just live your life well," Aunt Guihua hurried over to hug her, patted Tang Yue's shoulders and comforted her.

"Thank you, auntie. I'm fine. I will have a good day."

Tang Yue took a moment to relax and felt much better, so she let go of Aunt Guihua and sat down.
