Having eaten white flour in the morning, Old Mrs. Tian didn't cook anything special for lunch today. She chopped up the sweet potato vines that were distributed during the autumn harvest, stuffed them into cornmeal, steamed a pot of cornmeal vegetable dumplings, and fried a pot of shredded radish.
Tian Tian was curious about why Tian Lili's husband suddenly wanted to join the army, so she asked Old Lady Tian.
"From what your sister Lili said, Jianjun wanted to join the army before, but firstly, he was not old enough, and secondly, your sister Lili's grandmother was worried that something might happen to Jianjun, so she wanted him to have a child before joining the army! Now that they are married, the Li family has agreed to let Li Jianjun join the army."
When Tian Tian heard what Old Lady Tian said, she felt something was wrong. It was understandable that he was not old enough to join the army, but Tian Yuan was able to join the army at the age of sixteen because he was specially recruited because he was outstanding, and Old Man Tian also had some connections in the army.
Although Old Man Tian died early, his comrades-in-arms were through thick and thin with him. In addition, Old Lady Tian took good care of them and often sent them things she made herself. Although they were not precious, they were also a token of her thoughtfulness.
So after so many years, their family has always been in contact with their old comrades.
And those old comrades all knew that the situation outside was not right. If Tian Yuan were to join the army, it would more or less bring some security to the Tian family.
Li Jianjun doesn't have these connections, so he can only wait until he reaches the age to sign up.
But Li Jianjun's mother insisted on waiting until Li Jianjun got married and had children before letting him join the army. What did she think of Tian Lili?
Judging from this alone, Tian Tian did not have a good impression of Tian Lili's old lady. "So, is Sister Lili pregnant?"
"What's the matter? There's still no news from her. She's planning to sign up for the army in July next year, so there's still some time left." Old Mrs. Tian said.
She felt that Li Jianjun was a pretty good person. He was very methodical in his speech and actions today. It was obvious that he was a good boy, and he had a good relationship with Tian Lili.
But she also felt that Li Jianjun's mother was a little bit unpleasant, but it was someone else's family business, so Mrs. Tian wouldn't say anything.
Maybe because Tian Yuan was leaving, the atmosphere at lunch was quite depressing.
After dinner, Tian Yuan took his luggage and prepared to leave. Because this time Tian Yuan stayed in their county town, which was not particularly far from their brigade, Old Lady Tian did not prepare too much food for Tian Yuan. Instead, she packed a lot of pickles for Tian Yuan to eat with his meals, and also filled a bottle of the family's soybean paste for Tian Yuan.
Tian Tian felt particularly reluctant to leave Tian Yuan. She was alone in her previous life, without parents, let alone a brother. When she heard from her classmates that they had brothers or sisters who spoiled them or played with them, Tian Tian felt very envious.
Now she really has a brother who dotes on her the most, but after only a little over a month of living together, her brother is leaving again.
"Brother! When will you come back next time?" Tian Tian was reluctant and held Tian Yuan's sleeve with tears in her eyes.
Tian Yuan was also reluctant to let her go. He only had this one sister, who grew up with the same father and mother as him. He had seen her grow up since she was a child. When he came back this time and knew that Tian Tian had suffered so much twice, he felt very distressed.
"I don't know when I will be back next time, but when I come back I will definitely buy you a gift. If you want anything, just write to me and tell me."
Tian Tian's eyes were filled with tears. "I don't want any gifts. I have enough food and clothes at home. I don't lack anything. I just want you to come back safely."
Lin Meiyu and the others may not know, but Tian Tian knows that there were several wars after the founding of the People's Republic of China. She was very worried that Tian Yuan would be chosen to go to the battlefield and that Tian Yuan would be injured.
