Liu Rumeng looked at the letter, tears welled up in her eyes and her heart was filled with grievances.
However, there was some good news in my mother's letter.
At the end of the letter, the mother emphasized that she had tried to use her connections to help my father get rehabilitated.
Maybe in a few months, my father will be rehabilitated and return to Shanghai, or even have his official position reinstated.
At that time, they will go to Linjiagou to pick her up and bring her back to Shanghai.
so……
In the last sentence of the letter, the mother once again emphasized that she must go and divorce Lin Huowang immediately.
Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to transfer her back to Shanghai.
"If you want me to divorce Awang, I...I would rather not go back to Shanghai.
It’s also nice to stay in Linjiagou!
Life here is not bad.
The most important thing is that my mother is here, my brothers and sisters are here, and my Awang is here."
Liu Rumeng was angry with her mother in her heart, but she actually knew very well that her mother was a typical Shanghai woman.
He has high standards and looks down on country people. He has a high opinion of himself and thinks that except Shanghai, everywhere else is rural and country.
This is not surprising. My mother was the eldest daughter of a capitalist in her early years. My grandfather’s family used to own several houses in the French Concession and had a big business.
Her mother told her more than once that the thing she regretted most in her life was that she did not follow her grandfather's family to Hong Kong Island during the liberation, but instead stayed in Shanghai with her father.
As a result, I was defeated during a special period. What kind of life is this?
In fact, Liu Rumeng also feels sorry for her mother, who was a rich lady who grew up in luxury and was cared for by the whole family.
He followed his father in the revolution and was arrested and jailed by Japanese spies and Kuomintang opponents several times, suffering untold hardships.
Liu Rumeng also knew that the reason her mother was so angry and harsh in the letter was essentially because she felt sorry for her and was afraid that she would marry a farmer and suffer, wasting her life.
Liu Rumeng sighed softly, feeling mixed emotions.
“I will tell my mother that I am doing well here and Awang and his family are very good to me.
I haven't suffered, and Awang won't let me suffer either.
So, I will never leave Awang..."
Following these thoughts, Liu Rumeng quickly wrote a reply to her mother and put it in an envelope.
Just at this moment, Lin Huowang and Zhao Daniu came back from outside, and she quickly hid the letter.
Although it is said that couples should be honest with each other and not hide anything from each other, Liu Rumeng still does not want to let her husband Lin Huowang see his mother's letter, as it would hurt Lin Huowang's self-esteem.
After hiding the letter, Liu Rumeng quickly wiped away her tears, sorted out her emotions, forced a smile on her face, and prepared to greet her husband.
…
Night falls, further ahead in the Changbai Mountains.
At the 345th Regiment’s headquarters, as a victory horn sounded, Xu Xiaodong and others, escorted by eight soldiers, successfully returned triumphantly from the mountains and forests.
In the open space outside the camp, a bonfire was burning, illuminating everyone's faces.
Zhao Mengsheng was blowing the trumpet proudly, especially when he saw the team carrying a sika deer and a roe deer, as well as a dozen pheasants and rabbits, his excitement was hard to suppress.
"Ha ha!
Brother Xiaodong, I didn’t expect that we would gain so much on our first day in the mountains.
Going into the mountains to hunt is quite easy!
It’s not as difficult as some people say. There’s also the saying that the mountain god in winter will eat people.
Why didn’t I see the man-eating mountain god?
It's just that we didn't run into any Siberian tigers or bears. Otherwise, with so many of us firing at the same time, who would be able to stop us?"
After playing the trumpet, Zhao Mengsheng ran to the back of the team and talked to Xu Xiaodong.
His cheeks were flushed and his eyes were full of excitement and pride, as if the success of this hunting was all his credit.
"Yeah! Brother Xiaodong, today is really enjoyable.
I didn’t expect hunting to be so much fun. I shot three pheasants and a rabbit. I didn’t expect that I could shoot so accurately. "
Huang Xiaoli's face was also full of excitement, and he proudly counted his own achievements.
As he spoke, he imitated the action of shooting, as if he was back in the hunting scene.
Including the two girls, Chen Jing and Xu Xiaoyun, they were all very satisfied with the experience of hunting in the mountains today.
Chen Jing looked at the dead sika deer being carried by two soldiers, and said with pity:
“This little deer is so pitiful!
It must have been hungry and came out to look for food, but we killed it.”
Chen Jing frowned slightly, her eyes full of sympathy. She sighed softly, as if she felt very sorry for the fate of the sika deer.
"oops!
Xiaojing, you feel sorry for this deer now.
Later, when we roast the venison, I guarantee you will enjoy it more than anyone else."
Zhao Mengsheng immediately joked.
He grinned and looked at Chen Jing with a smile, trying to break the slightly heavy atmosphere with a light-hearted tone.
“No way!
I…I can’t bear to eat the meat of a fawn.”
Pursing her lips, Chen Jing immediately retorted.
She folded her hands across her chest, a hint of stubbornness on her face, as if she had really made up her mind not to eat venison.
Xu Xiaoyun covered her mouth and said with a smile:
"Sister Xiao Jing is the best at saying one thing and thinking another. Last time when we went to Inner Mongolia, she said she would never eat lamb.
Then the grilled lamb chops came and he ate piece after piece, more than anyone else! "
