Meng Xue prepared dinner and waited until evening but Xi Jingchen still didn't come back.
It was not until the next day that she learned from Zhang Dewang that he had gone on a mission.
Meng Xue was alone at home, and occasionally her sister-in-law would come to chat with her to relieve her boredom.
The rest of the time she stayed in her room alone translating books.
Read some books about the college entrance examination.
Half a month passed by unknowingly.
Meng Xue finished translating the book and came to the camp gate with the manuscript.
The guard at the door was very surprised to see Meng Xue.
"Sister-in-law? Have you heard the news?"
Meng Xue was stunned. "News? What news?"
The soldier sighed, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry!"
Meng Xue's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
Could it be that something unexpected happened during Xi Jingchen’s mission?
No wonder there has been no news for so long?
"What's wrong? Is Jingchen in trouble?"
The soldier shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not Captain Xi who's in trouble, it's Old Master Xi!"
When Meng Xue heard that it was Mr. Xi, her eyes suddenly became moist.
She asked excitedly, "What happened to Uncle Xi?"
The soldier showed a sad expression.
"Captain Xi's family sent a telegram saying that Mr. Xi is gone!"
Meng Xue was shocked to hear the news.
Her mind went blank and she took a step back, nearly fainting.
Fortunately, the soldier next to her was quick to support her.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?
I just reported this to Brigade Commander Zhang. Hasn't he told you yet?"
Meng Xue shook her head.
She still couldn't believe this was real.
"Comrade, your information cannot be wrong!"
The soldier shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, Captain Xi's family personally sent a telegram to tell us about this. We have already confirmed it!"
Meng Xue knew that real-name registration was required when sending telegrams.
Now that it is determined, there will be no mistakes.
She just couldn't accept the fact.
In his previous life, it was because of her that Mr. Xi died of a sudden heart attack.
But haven’t things changed in this life?
Did she also tell the old man not to get emotional?
Why did Uncle Xi die?
Meng Xue's nose was sour, "Did Jing Chen's family say anything else?"
The soldier nodded. "They also said that considering Captain Xi is far away, the burial will be in five days. They asked Captain Xi to go back as soon as possible to see the old man for the last time!"
Meng Xue's tears fell unconsciously.
"Okay, I understand! Thank you, comrade!"
Meng Xue turned and ran towards the family compound.
She ran to the gate of the family compound and saw Yang Hongyan and Zhang Dewang looking for her everywhere.
Zhang Dewang saw that Meng Xue seemed to have cried, and said, "Comrade Meng Xue, do you know?"
Meng Xue nodded, "Zhang Lu, can you contact Jing Chen?"
Zhang Dewang frowned, "Sorry...but I will try my best..."
Meng Xue raised the corners of her lips and sniffed.
"It's okay, I got it. I'll pack up and go back to Qingshan Town now!"
Zhang Dewang nodded, "Okay, I'll send someone to take you to the station!"
Meng Xue said "thank you" and put the money from home and the manuscripts she had translated into her schoolbag, and then simply packed two sets of clothes.
Walked out.
Yang Hongyan looked at Meng Xue's red eyes and felt uncomfortable.
"Xiaoxue, my condolences!"
Meng Xue nodded, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine..."
When Meng Xue walked out of the family compound, she saw a military green SUV parked at the gate.
Zhang Dewang stood in front of the car and gave the driver a few instructions, then turned his head and motioned for her to come over.
Meng Xue came to him.
"Brigade Commander Zhang, I'll leave Jing Chen in your care!"
Zhang Dewang nodded.
"Don't worry, I will try my best to get him back to see the old man off for the last time!"
