"The third brother sent a telegram. Could it be that Zhou Fang has given birth? That shouldn't be the case! The due date shouldn't be here yet."
Worried that something might happen, Zhang Shuqin didn't care about Wang Chunhua anymore and pulled Gu Qingmeng to the door.
"Mom, don't worry, let me see what my third brother wrote. I'll read it to you right away."
Pei Xiuzhen had already received the telegram, but she couldn't read the content. Her third brother was injured and retired due to injury. How serious must his injury be!
Gu Qingmeng also noticed something was wrong. She quickly scanned the telegram and was shocked. He was actually injured and retired. Pei Xinghe would be worried when he knew about it, because he had the best relationship with Pei Zhenxing.
When the relatives and neighbors in the yard heard the telegram from Pei Zhenxing, they all gathered at the gate to know what was written in the telegram. Didn’t people have any concept of privacy at that time?
If someone receives a letter, all the neighbors will probably know what is in the letter.
Yang Heping said a few simple words and asked the people to disperse. At this time, those who stayed in Pei's house were all relatives. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't ask clearly, and he was also worried that something had happened to Pei Zhenxing?
So after a while, they all followed into the house to continue asking questions. Gu Qingmeng supported Zhang Shuqin, as she was afraid that the old woman would not be able to bear the news.
"Xiuzhen, what happened to the third brother? Why don't you say something? Is he in trouble? Or is he injured?"
Seeing her daughter not saying anything, Zhang Shuqin became more and more panicked. Could it be that the third child had died?
"Aunt, it's okay, I'm just injured. I'll be back in a few days."
Gu Qingmeng knew that the old woman must be thinking the worst! She quickly spoke up to pull her back to her senses.
"He's really alright! He's not dead! He's not dead! The telegram didn't say how serious the injury was. When will he be back?"
Zhang Shuqin felt her heart pounding. Her third child must be injured for more than just a simple reason!
The third brother went to the army when he was only sixteen. The last time he came back, she saw several wounds on his body, one of which was particularly close to his heart. She burst into tears at that time, and the third brother comforted her that it was a minor injury.
He had been injured so many times but the army never sent anyone to take care of him, but this time they asked him to come back. How serious must his injury be!
"Mom, don't worry, the army will send people back. You just need to clean up your third brother's room in the next few days." Pei Xiuzhen didn't know what to do. Her fourth brother was not at home, and her father was drunk again. It was better for Yang Heping not to say anything.
"Aunt, don't worry, he must be fine! Otherwise, the army wouldn't have sent a telegram. Third Brother Xiexu was just injured. He knew that Xinghe and I were getting married, so he came back on leave."
Gu Qingmeng tried to comfort him, and when she saw Pei Xinghe coming back, she quickly waved to him and asked him to come over.
"Qingqing, what's wrong?"
Pei Xinghe was confused. Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, he immediately looked at Pei Fugui and Pei Jianshe, thinking that these two must have been up to something again!
Pei Fugui felt a little irritated by his younger brother's stare. The relatives were all here. What did the fourth brother mean by this? Did he want to embarrass him in front of the relatives?
"The third child is injured, and mother is sad." What she meant was that it had nothing to do with him, don't bother looking at him, he has to save face.
"What? What's going on?"
Pei Xinghe took the telegram from his sister's hand, his hands were shaking a little. His third brother was two years older than him, and they had been playing together since childhood. When he was naughty as a child, his third brother always protected him. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to go to high school, his third brother would not have dropped out of school to join the army.
It is not easy to be a soldier in Yunnan Province. I remember what my third brother said to him when he came back for the first time after serving in the army. He said that if he died in the future, he should fulfill his filial duty and take good care of his parents and grandmother.
Now his third brother is injured and has retired due to injury. His third brother must have suffered a lot!
"Don't worry, I'm glad you're back."
Gu Qingmeng didn’t know how to comfort Pei Xinghe, but she knew that it was good that he came back alive, which was better than those who were buried in the martyrs’ cemetery.
"Yes, it's good to be back. It's good to be back."
Even if his third brother lost his hands and feet, he could still support him, because that was his third brother who had protected him since he was a child!
"Okay, you'll know what's going on when you come back. Don't scare yourself here."
Grandma Pei's words quieted everyone down, only Zhang Shuqin and Pei Xiuzhen were still wiping away tears.
This news made it impossible for Pei Xinghe to see the guests off. Gu Qingmeng knew that Pei Xinghe's grandmother was waiting to see them off. She had seen Li Erqiang and Jin Yuanyuan go to the river before. When she was discharged from the hospital, she saw Pei Weidong coming back. She quickly asked someone to find someone to see the guests off.
Pei Dazhuang had drunk too much and fell asleep, and could not be woken up for a while. Gu Qingmeng was busy pouring water for everyone. After a while, Pei Xinghe came out, and the two of them sent the guests away together.
Pei Xinghe asked as soon as he sat down: "Are you tired? I've kept you busy for a long time."
Pei Xinghe looked at Gu Qingmeng's shoes with some heartache. The little girl was wearing a pair of small leather shoes with heels today. She had walked a long way with him to greet guests. She must be very tired!
"It's okay. How are you? Go get some sleep! Third Brother will be fine!"
Gu Qingmeng saw that Pei Xinghe's eyes were a little red. He had been drinking and was a little tipsy. He was also a little irritated because of family matters. She felt that the man should rest quietly for a while.
It takes time to send and deliver a telegram. Maybe Pei Zhenxing has already arrived in the city by now.
Gu Qingmeng's guess was correct. At this time, Pei Zhenxing had already gotten off the train with the help of his comrades. Following behind him was a pregnant woman and a boy of three or four years old.
There was a car waiting to pick them up at the train station entrance, but they did not return to Peijiagou, but went straight to the hospital.
When Gu Qingmeng returned home, she saw her two aunts helping her pack the betrothal gifts. Her younger brothers had already gone up the mountain to chop firewood, bringing Black Panther with them.
