The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh. Even though Fu Wangshan doesn't usually talk about it, he still misses Fu Jingchen very much.
"No, just us." Fu Haitang wiped away tears.
"It's such a long journey, how could he let you come back alone?" Before Fu Wangshan could say anything, Fu's mother complained first.
"Mom, the army didn't approve my leave." Jiang Yuman quickly explained, "Jingchen sent us to the train before he left."
"That's right. Your Jingchen treats his wife and children like the apple of his eye. Does it seem like he's deliberately not coming back?" Aunt Li next to her also laughed.
Fu's mother was so concerned that she was confused. After she came to her senses and thought about what was going on, she didn't say anything else.
As for Fu Wangshan, his eyes were already on Fu Siyi.
Seeing this, Aunt Li was quite tactful. She left without saying a few words, leaving the space alone for the family who had finally gathered together.
There were many people at the educated youth point, so Fu's mother took them into the house, poured them some water, and asked about their health.
Fu Haitang hadn't seen her parents for a long time, so she told them everything that had happened in the past month.
When they heard that their processing group had won first place in the military district competition, Fu's mother and Fu Wangshan were so shocked that they didn't say a word for a long time.
"No wonder you've lost so much weight, it turns out you've suffered so much." When she realized what was happening, Fu's mother's eyes turned red again.
"Well done," Fu Wangshan looked at the medal in his hand, his eyes wandering over them, "You've only been in the army for such a short time, and you've achieved such great things. I'm proud of you."
Looking at Jiang Yuman and Fu Haitang, the couple thought at the same time: It was indeed the right decision to support them to join the army.
"But Manman, how did you get into the labor union?" Mrs. Fu was puzzled.
"My sister-in-law is amazing. She is our screenwriting teacher..." When it comes to Jiang Yuman, Fu Haitang can talk about her for days and nights, and directly recounts all her contributions to the Workers' Group.
Finally, he added, "So, our performance this time was able to surpass the Jiaoyang Song and Dance Troupe, and my sister-in-law played a big role!"
There were some other words she kept in her heart but didn't say them out loud because she was afraid they were too corny.
Jiang Yuman's position in her heart is like a stabilizing force. She used to be a source of hope for the whole family, and after returning to the army, she was able to quickly adapt to the life in the labor corps.
It is no exaggeration to say that she felt that she loved her sister-in-law as much as her brother.
"Manman, you are so amazing." Mother Fu was happy and proud.
She doesn't understand musicals, but she is famous throughout the military region, so it's easy to imagine that she must be very outstanding.
Fu Wangshan understood, and he said, "The Jiaoyang Song and Dance Troupe, their performance "Forward" won many awards that year."
Looking at Jiang Yuman, he praised her without hesitation, "You are an amazing screenwriter teacher who can write a play that surpasses this one, my girl."
Even though Jiang Yuman had been praised a lot, she felt a little embarrassed at this moment, "Mom and Dad, you guys are praising me so much that I'm blushing."
"We are telling the truth." Seeing her rarely showing shyness, Fu's mother couldn't help but smile, "You have such a good daughter-in-law. Your father and I are so happy that we can't sleep at night."
After that, he said considerately: "You must have been exhausted from the journey. Go to the next room and take a nap."
She felt sorry for them, so she opened the door of the next room and took the mattress from the closet. "Since Jingchen isn't back yet, you can sleep together for a while and just leave Xiaoyi to us."
Jiang Yuman nodded, walked into the next room and found that the room was clean and there was no dust even on the floor.
It doesn't look like no one lives there at all.
She was a little stunned for a moment, "Mom, do you clean this room often?"
"Yes," Mrs. Fu just brought the mattress over, a little embarrassed, "When you have nothing to do, come in and clean it up. It will be convenient for you to come back and live here."
While she was talking, she was also making the bed, and she moved very quickly.
Jiang Yuman and Fu Haitang, who were standing beside them, had mixed feelings in their hearts.
Fu's mother said so, but in fact she just missed them, so she came in to clean often, and even tried to keep the layout of things as they were.
My parents are here, but my heart is with them.
"Mom." Thinking of this, Fu Haitang rushed over and hugged her.
Jiang Yuman also stretched out her arms and hugged them, "Mom, we are in the family compound and miss you too."
Mother Fu hugged one child in each arm and felt like she had two daughters, both so caring.
"Okay, okay, I'll make the bed for you." After holding her for a while, Mother Fu let go and continued to make the bed.
Jiang Yuman and Fu Haitang were not idle either. They stood on each side and helped pull up the bed sheets before putting Xiaoyi on the bed.
Xiaoyi had long lost his memory of being here, but he was not shy and kept crawling around on the bed.
Mother Fu picked him up, and he didn't cry. He just kept staring at her.
Looking at this little face, Mother Fu's heart softened. When they first left, she couldn't sleep well for a long time.
I've been thinking about her day and night while looking at her photos, and today I finally have her in my arms.
She carried him out directly, "Xiaoyi, grandma will carry you out and let your mother and aunt sleep."
As the door closed, the sound became quieter.
Jiang Yuman and Fu Haitang were indeed tired. Thinking that it was still a while before noon, they took off their coats and went to bed. They fell asleep soon after.
In the next room, Fu Wangshan and his wife took turns holding Xiaoyi, unable to let go.
Xiaoyi was often hugged by female soldiers in the Workers' Corps and did not recognize them. Moreover, he could feel that the two loving faces in front of him were very familiar.
Therefore, when Fu's mother teased him, he would always hold his little hands and laugh out loud. His white and chubby appearance was particularly cute and adorable.
"Look at how well Xiaoyi is taken care of?" Fu's mother felt the same way. "As a mother, you have to sacrifice so much to raise him like this."
Fu Wangshan deeply agreed with this. It is not without reason that a good daughter-in-law brings prosperity to the next generation.
The old couple had nothing to do anyway, so they quickly took out paper and pen and wrote a few lines to Fu Jingchen respectively.
The general meaning is that he should treat his wife well, because she follows him no matter how far away she is, and he should cherish her.
Letters sent to the troops would not be opened and checked, so even when he learned that his son had been promoted to a higher rank, Fu Wangshan did not mention a word about it in order to avoid suspicion.
Mother Fu was very disappointed. "They said they would re-check it before. Why is there still no clue after so long?"
"Just follow the prescribed procedures. There is no need to rush." Fu Wangshan was very calm.
"Yes, you are not in a hurry," Mother Fu glanced at him, "There is nothing to be in a hurry for. Why did you go to the town every day to wait for the children's letters?"
If the results could come out sooner, they could be together more often. Why would they need to exchange letters?
Fu Wangshan choked.
In short, Jiang Yuman and Fu Haitang, who were soundly asleep, were unaware of the old couple's letter writing.
The two regained consciousness and were awakened by a burst of voices outside.
