Xi Jingchen asked along the way and finally found the village where his comrade Wu Yong lived.
As soon as he entered the village, he saw a few elderly ladies chatting at the entrance of the village.
He walked over carrying something.
"Hello, Auntie. I want to know where Wu Yong's home is."
When the aunties heard him asking about Wu Yong's family, they all looked at him at the same time.
"Young man, why are you asking about Xiaoyong's family?"
“Yes, Yongzi passed away at a young age.
There are only his mother and a girl left at home..."
"Ah...his mother and daughter are having a hard time..."
When Xi Jingchen heard what the ladies said, he knew he had come to the right place.
Wu Yong is the sadness in his heart.
"Auntie, I just came to visit them. I wonder where they live?"
One of the ladies said, "Come on, young man! I'll take you there!"
Xi Jingchen followed the aunt to a dilapidated courtyard.
The door panels on the doorway are all slanted on the door.
The yard was a mess, with two or three chickens running around.
It also makes a "clucking" sound.
The aunt stood at the door and shouted inside, "Cuihua, Cuihua mother, someone is coming home!"
"Hey, who's here?"
Then I saw a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old walking out of the house.
The little girl had two braided pigtails and was wearing a patched blue gown with white flowers.
The black woolen trousers were also patched with patches of various sizes.
Even the shoes had a big hole left by the big toe.
While Xi Jingchen was looking at her, the little girl was also looking at her.
She shyly looked at the aunt beside her, "Auntie, what is this?"
Did she remember that her aunt said she wanted to introduce her to someone?
Could it be the man in front of me?
He was carrying something in his hands, so it seemed that his family was well off.
The more Wu Cuihua looked at Xi Jingchen, the more she liked him.
She thought that the aunts looked down on her and would introduce her to a big and strong old man.
I didn't expect him to be so handsome.
The auntie next to him didn't know how to address Xi Jingchen, so she turned her head and looked at him.
Xi Jingchen's lips curled slightly, "Thank you for bringing me here..."
The aunt laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay..."
Then she said a few polite words to Wu Cuihua and left.
Xi Jingchen remembers that the higher-ups gave subsidies to Wu Yong's family?
Shouldn't we still be living such a miserable life?
“Hello, I am your brother Wu Yong’s comrade-in-arms.
This time I came here specifically to visit you!
I wonder if Auntie is home?"
Wu Cuihua was slightly stunned before realizing that she seemed to have misunderstood.
"Um...my mother is in the room..."
Xi Jingchen curled his lips and smiled, "Can I go see Auntie?"
Wu Cuihua looked at the smile on Xi Jingchen's face and couldn't help but become infatuated with him.
Wow, he looks so good when he smiles.
If only he were her man.
Xi Jingchen frowned as he saw her staring at him.
"Isn't it inconvenient?"
Then a few coughing sounds were heard from the room.
"Cui'er, who is outside... cough cough cough..."
Wu Cuihua came back to her senses when she heard her mother coughing.
"Mom, my brother's comrades are here..."
Then he stepped forward, took the things in Xi Jingchen's hand, and motioned him to come into the house.
When Xi Jingchen walked into the house, a musty smell hit his nose.
He felt the room was chilly and shivered unconsciously.
Then I saw a skinny old man lying on the kang.
She was covered with a patched, worn quilt.
The edges of the quilt have turned a little yellow.
He walked straight up and took the old woman's hand, and could feel that her hands were so thin that only a layer of skin was left.
