In fact, Du Shuisheng also went to the commendation meeting today. After it ended, he wanted to take his daughter home, but he found that Du Wanying was surrounded by a group of people.
He couldn't get it in at all, so he had no choice but to wait for his daughter to pass by on the way home.
Du Wanying heard someone calling her name again and was so scared that she ran away. She could hardly hold the things in her hands and she didn't want to be stuffed with a bunch of things again.
Du Shuisheng was very curious to see his daughter walking faster and faster, but she was walking further and further away with no intention of stopping. He could only shout out again: "Yingying Yingying, wait for me."
Du Wanying muttered softly, "This sounds like Dad's voice!!"
She turned her head and looked back, and sure enough, she saw her father running towards her. "Dad, why are you here? I didn't see you were at the venue. I thought you had gone home."
Since Du Wanying was going to be honored today, she sat in the front row, while Du Shuisheng sat in the back row.
"Don't...don't mention it. When I found you, you were surrounded by a group of people. I couldn't even squeeze in. I had no choice but to wait for you here."
Father Du said breathlessly.
Du Wanying said helplessly: "They all came to thank me. Look at this pile of things in my hand, they are gifts from me.
It's been just over a month since the earthquake, and every household is having a hard time. I didn't want it at first, but they were so enthusiastic, so I had no choice but to accept it."
Father Du: "You're right not to, but they just want to thank you in this way. After all, your earthquake-proof bed has indeed saved many people."
"I see. Dad, let's go home quickly, or I'm afraid we'll be stuck again."
"Okay, okay, let's go home." Du Shuisheng said quickly.
As soon as the father and daughter returned home, they saw their second brother Du Yuanxiu sitting on a stool.
"Dad, little sister, you're back." Du Yuanxiu said as he came over.
Du Shuisheng was so excited when he saw his second son coming back: "Yuanxiu, why are you back?"
My second brother is a soldier in the army and is now a platoon leader. However, he rarely goes home, which means that my family hasn't seen him for a long time.
"Dad, such a big thing happened at home, how can I not come back to take a look?" Du Yuanxiu said, and hugged his father.
Du Yuanxiu hadn't been home for more than a year. When he saw his father, he found that he was old and had a head full of white hair. He felt that he was unfilial and could not fulfill his filial duties to his four elders (grandparents, parents).
The earthquake caused his grandfather and mother to be seriously injured. If he were still alive, he would definitely protect his family. Du Yuanxiu felt very uncomfortable and even had the idea of retiring from the army and changing his career.
"It's okay. Our family is safe and sound at home. You don't have to worry about your grandfather and your mother. They are almost well."
Seeing his second son's guilty look, Du Shuisheng hurriedly tried to persuade him.
He was at home during the earthquake, but couldn't he do anything? He could only watch.
Joining the army is Du Yuanxiu's wish and also his dream. Du Shuisheng doesn't want his son to give up joining the army because of family matters.
Du Yuanxiu choked up and said, "Okay, I understand. I've already checked with Mother and Grandpa. I'm glad you're all right."
God knows how worried he was on the way back. He was not at home when the earthquake happened. Du Yuanxiu wanted to beat himself up.
Moreover, the post office collapsed due to the earthquake, so no matter whether he called, wrote or sent a telegram, his home could not receive it, and he had no news from home.
Fortunately, Bai Yuer was there to comfort and accompany him on the way, otherwise he would have collapsed.
Bai Yu'er is Du Yuanxiu's girlfriend. Just when Du Yuanxiu learned that there was an earthquake at home and returned to the dormitory to pack his luggage, he saw Bai Yu'er standing at the door of his dormitory with a bag.
"Yu'er, why are you here?"
Du Yuanxiu was very surprised when he saw Bai Yuer, and found that she was holding a bag in her hand. Could it be that Bai Yuer already knew about the earthquake in his family?
"Yuan Xiu, I heard from my father that there was an earthquake in your hometown, so I want to go home with you, is that okay?"
"You'd better not go. There was an earthquake there just now, and we don't know what the situation is like yet. If you go with me and get into danger, how am I going to explain it to your father?"
"I've already discussed it with my dad, and he promised me to go home with you."
When Du Yuanxiu heard that the leader had agreed, he no longer refused. In the past two years, his parents have been urging him to find a partner. If he could bring Bai Yuer home at this time, his parents would surely be very happy.
On the train, Du Yuanxiu was troubled by family matters and fell into deep self-blame. Fortunately, Bai Yuer kept comforting him along the way.
"Brother, sister-in-law, third brother, and little sister, thanks to you taking care of my parents and grandparents over the years, I can stay in the army without worry."
"Second brother, why are you saying this? Aren't we all family? It's our responsibility to take care of our parents and grandparents.
I believe that if you stay at home, you will take care of your parents and grandparents as well as we do."
Du Yuanhong knew that his second brother felt guilty about the earthquake, but there was no need to feel guilty. His second brother went to the army to take care of the family, and they stayed at home to take care of their own family.
Whether it is the country or one's own family, someone needs to protect it.
"Yes, second brother, you don't have to worry about the things at home. We are still the three of us brothers and sisters."
Bai Yu'er, who was standing by, knew that Du Yuanxiu was always thinking about his family, so she didn't disturb them, but just stood there quietly waiting for him.
"Yeah." Du Yuanxiu responded and called Bai Yuer over. Bai Yuer walked to Du Yuanxiu's side with a shy look on her face.
"Dad, eldest brother and sister-in-law, third brother and younger sister, his name is Bai Yuer and I am his partner."
When Du Shuisheng heard his second son's introduction, he turned his head excitedly to look at Bai Yuer. He and his wife Cui Yuanxiu had been urging them to get married for a year or two, but he didn't expect that this boy would bring him a daughter-in-law at this time.
"Hello, uncle, elder brother, elder sister-in-law, third brother, and younger sister. My name is Bai Yuer."
Bai Yuer introduced these people to everyone in a graceful manner. They were all Du Yuanxiu's relatives, and from now on they were also her relatives.
Seeing this, Du Shuisheng was very satisfied. This daughter-in-law was not only good-looking, but also graceful and generous.
Bai Yu'er was indeed good-looking, with a standard oval face that was very delicate, a beautiful nose, and cherry lips, looking like a blooming rose.
"Okay, okay, okay." Du Shuisheng excitedly said "Okay" three times in a row. Then he seemed to have thought of something and continued, "Does your mother...your mother know?"
"Dad, before you came back just now, I took Yu'er to meet mother and grandparents."
