"Jiang Wang, is there something important that is happening that you are going to Southern Province at this time?" Grandpa Jiang was very puzzled.
My grandson finally got a two-month long vacation, why would he go to Southern Province instead of having a good rest at home?
"Grandpa, one of my comrades died while on a mission, and the organization sent me to visit his family to express condolences," Jiang Wang explained.
As for the real reason for going to Southern Province, Jiang Wang didn't want to tell the two elderly people, mainly because he was afraid that they would worry.
"Grandpa and grandma, I will go there with Jiang Wang at that time, and the two children will be left to your care," Ye Hanhan said.
"You want to go too?" Grandpa Jiang frowned, seeming to disagree.
"Xianhan, you have to think it over carefully," Grandma Jiang also advised, "The child is still young and can't leave you."
This time, Grandma Jiang did not stand on Ye Han's side.
"Grandma, Jiang Wang is a man, and his mind is not as delicate as us women. If he says something wrong or does something wrong when we get there, it will be bad. I'll be with him and watch from the side."
...
...
Ye Xuanhan patiently explained to Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang.
"That's right," Grandma Jiang hesitated, "but——"
"We're only gone for three days and will be back in three days," Ye Hanhan said, "Grandpa and grandma, the two children are the most attached to you. Even if Jiang Wang and I are not here, there won't be any problem."
"Okay," Grandma Jiang couldn't persuade Ye Hanhan, and the reasons he gave made sense, so she stopped caring.
Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang went to the street to find someone to get a letter of introduction that day, and then went to the train station to book train tickets to Southern Province the next day.
Jiang Wang felt a little heavy-hearted. He didn't know whether it was because he was about to meet Wei Xing's family and was a little scared, or because he was still brooding over Wei Xing.
Seeing this, Ye Hanhan didn't say much, but just held Jiang Wang's hand, trying to give him some strength.
The next morning, the two prepared food for the train, as well as two thousand yuan and various tickets, and boarded the train to Southern Province.
The money and notes were donated to Wei Xing's mother by Jiang Wang in his personal name.
Before this, Jiang Wang specifically asked people about Wei Xing's family situation and heard that he had two older brothers and two younger sisters.
The two older brothers are married and do farm work in the brigade. During the slack season, they go back to the city to work as temporary workers in factories.
Because Wei Xing was in the army, my sister got a job as a teacher in a commune primary school in the brigade.
The Wei family did not split up, so the whole family still lives together.
As for Wei's mother, she takes care of her grandchildren at home and does some work in the fields when she is free.
The family's life is relatively peaceful.
The train from the capital to South Province took a whole day to travel and finally arrived at the train station in South Province at six o'clock in the evening.
It was already late, so Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang found a guesthouse to stay temporarily.
Nan Province is close to the south, and the air is filled with humidity in winter.
Ye Xinhan's calves were shivering from the cold, and Jiang Wang saw this, so he hugged Ye Xinhan tightly in his arms, and the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
In the middle of the night, Ye Han turned over and found that the place where his hand touched was empty.
When Ye Hanhan stood up, he saw Jiang Wang standing by the window with a cigarette in his hand.
Seeing Ye Han waking up, Jiang Wang quickly put out the cigarette in his hand and said, "What's wrong? Did I wake you up?"
He couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and his dreams were all about Wei Xing's tragic death, so he simply got up and smoked a cigarette.
Although Ye Xuanhan hates others smoking, when he sees Jiang Wang smoking, he only feels heartache in his eyes.
"You didn't smoke before? When did you start?"
Jiang Wang didn't say anything, but just rested his chin on Ye Han's forehead.
Ye Hanhan knew that Jiang Wang had never smoked before, and he was smoking now only because he was too depressed and could not accept the death of his comrade in front of him.
"Don't smoke anymore and tell me if you have any worries," Ye Han said.
Jiang Wang frowned, and looked at Ye Hanhan with his beautiful eyes, which were full of heaviness.
"Xianhan, I feel so despicable," Jiang Wang said in a trembling voice, "When I saw Wei Xing die in front of me, my first reaction was to be thankful, and then regret."
"Are you thankful?" Ye Han asked.
"I'm glad it wasn't me who died," Jiang Wang held his head in pain, "because if I died I wouldn't be able to see you, nor our two children..."
It was the first time that Ye Xuanhan saw Jiang Wang like this.
She couldn't help but hug him distressedly and comforted him: "In the face of death, people are selfish. Maybe you are just feeling lucky because you care about too many people and things."
During the apocalypse, Ye Han saw some people who, in order to survive, were willing to push their family members or friends into the zombie horde.
When you survive, you realize what you have done and then start to regret it.
The reason why Jiang Wang had such thoughts was not because he was afraid of death, but because he had too many concerns in his heart.
It's human nature, but Jiang Wang couldn't let it go, which made him unable to move on.
"Jiang Wang, if you really regret it, then do your best to help Wei Xing take care of his mother."
The relative who is closely related to Wei Xing by blood is his mother.
Since Wei Xing died because of helping Jiang Wang block the bullet, go and take care of his mother.
After listening to Ye Xuanhan's words, Jiang Wang no longer seemed as excited as before, and the expression on his face was slightly relaxed.
“Is this really okay?”
"Okay," Ye Hanhan said, "Let's go to the Wei family tomorrow morning to meet Wei Xing's mother."
Jiang Wang nodded.
The two of them lay back in bed and continued to rest, and they slept until dawn.
When Ye Xuanhan woke up, he found it was too bright outside and thought it was a sunny day. He opened the wooden lattice window and discovered that snowflakes were falling outside.
"Jiang Wang, it's snowing!"
It rarely snows in the south, so she and Jiang Wang happened to see it, which was considered lucky.
Jiang Wang also looked out the window. Seeing the vast expanse of white, he felt a lot calmer.
"Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for breakfast first, and then go to the Wei family."
Jiang Wang was always thinking about meeting Wei's mother and was absent-minded during the meal.
Ye Han advised: "Although I have never met Wei Xing, I know that he must be a responsible and courageous person. The mother who can raise such a child must be extraordinary. You don't have to worry too much."
Jiang Wang lowered his head to drink the porridge in the bowl. When he heard the words, he raised his head and said "hmm" softly.
Seeing this, Ye Hanhan said nothing more.
After dinner, Jiang Wang rented an ox cart on the roadside and had someone take Ye Han and her to the Hongqi Production Brigade where the Wei family was.
It rarely snows in the south, so the members did not stay at home at this time today, but went to work in the fields as usual.
