"It's not serious, that's all. Then we'll go to the army and bring your father back to take good care of him. We can always make up for his damaged body."
Grandma He paused with her hand that was holding the wall. She glanced at her granddaughter, turned around and went home. The old lady who looked calm on the outside now walked in a very messy way, not at all steady as before.
Looking at Grandma He's back as she left, He Wanqing threw Mother He's clothes onto the kang, and she lay on the kang sobbing and crying.
She cried in her previous life because Zhu Sanni prevented her from seeing her father off to his final resting place. She had been crying for several months, but she still could not change her father's fate of being injured.
Thinking of her brother again, she paused. Her brother~
As if she had thought of something, she stood up suddenly, wiped the tears from her face, left the house and ran straight to the brigade headquarters.
While running, he prayed in his heart that his brother could answer the call, otherwise~
She didn't know what else to do, she just knew that she would regret it.
"Uncle, I want to borrow the phone." Pushing open the door of the brigade office, she spoke to the brigade leader sitting at the table.
"Call me, then come over!"
Knowing that she was calling the army, He Shubai did not refuse. He stood up and gave her his seat, while he stood at the door.
"Thank you, uncle." He made way for him, watched him go out, reached out to close the door, then walked to the phone, picked up the phone and dialed.
After a busy tone, a pleasant female voice came: "Hello, comrade~"
Before the other party could finish speaking, she spoke first: "Hello, I'm looking for Deputy Division Commander He Baolian. If he's not here, can you help me find He Jiaxing from the Third Company of the First Battalion, or He Jiayan from the Second Company of the Third Battalion?"
"Hello, Deputy Division Commander He is not here. He is in the military hospital. The He Jiayan brothers you are looking for are also in the military hospital. Why don't you call the military hospital???"
"No, that's fine. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After saying this to the person on the other end, she hung up the phone in a daze, the fear in her heart coming to her mind once again.
She took out two dimes from her pocket and put it on the table, then turned around, opened the door and left.
As soon as she went out, she saw the team leader and the accountant talking at the door. She greeted them listlessly and went straight to her parents' home.
As soon as she entered the door, she found that her mother had returned. Seeing this, she turned around and closed the door to isolate herself from the neighbors' gazes. She ran to He's mother in two steps, put her arm around her waist and said,
"Mom, Cheng'an met Dad when he was on a mission. Dad was injured. I just went to the brigade headquarters to make a phone call. Dad is in the military hospital. My eldest brother and second brother are also in the military hospital. Let's go too. Don't wait until the autumn harvest."
She was really afraid that something would happen to He's father because that was something she didn't dare to face.
Even though she had sent the medicine, she was still afraid. She was afraid that her father would give the medicine away and she would have no medicine to take.
"What, what did you say? Your dad is injured?" He's mother was about to ask her why she was in such a hurry to call her back, but she was shocked by her words before she could open her mouth.
"Yes, he was injured. Cheng An said in the letter that his father asked him not to tell us and that the injury was not serious.
But if it wasn't serious, my eldest and second brothers wouldn't still be in the military hospital. If it wasn't serious, Gu Cheng'an should have been discharged from the hospital as he had spent so much time on the road sending the letter. ”
The more she talked about it, the colder she felt. She was almost thinking of the most serious consequences.
"Girl, you go find the captain to get a letter of introduction, and we'll go now, to the army now."
Although she was extremely anxious, thinking of her belly, He's mother pretended to be calm. She finished her words, let go of her hand, turned around and went into the house to pack her things.
"Mom, I'll go right away." She was such a fool. Why didn't she think of getting a letter of introduction when she went to make the phone call just now? She was so stupid.
Just as she turned around and was about to leave, she saw Grandpa He walk in with a cold face: "Wanqing, you don't have to open it, I've already opened it, go back and pack your things, we're going to the commune now."
When the old man was young, he didn't feel anything when he lost his child. But now that he is old, he was very scared when he heard that his eldest son was injured. He said he had to go and see him no matter what, otherwise he would be worried.
"I understand, Grandpa." She nodded, glanced at He's mother who was sobbing and packing things in the room, and walked towards the house.
Looking up at the setting sun in the west, it was almost evening and there was no bus from the commune to the county town. She would probably have to leave early tomorrow morning. She went home to pack her things first. If time permitted, she wanted to go into the mountains.
There is a 500-year-old ginseng in the mountains. She had never dug it up before because she wanted to let it grow longer, but now it seems safer to take it with her.
"Wait a minute, Wanqing, just pack your things. It's too late now, and the commune doesn't have a car to go to the county town. Let's go early tomorrow morning."
After packing up her things, Grandma He thought for a long time and realized that things had come to this. The worst outcome would be that she would once again see her child die.
But since my grandson-in-law said that the younger son was fine, then he just suffered more. After so many years of military service, the younger son has committed many crimes.
The old lady thought of this as a way to ward off disasters in the future. After she had prepared all the things she would take on the road, she sent down a bowl of flour and left it in the evening to make cakes to eat on the road the next day before coming over.
"I understand, grandma." Hearing the same words as she had guessed, He Wanqing nodded and walked away again.
This time she was no longer anxious. She was no longer as nervous as when she first heard the news. Instead, she felt a little relaxed.
Now that she has decided to go to the army tomorrow, her father will definitely be fine because she didn't allow it.
After saying hello to the old ladies who were enjoying the cool air at the entrance of the village, she staggered back home.
"Sister, you're back. What happened just now? Why do you look so unhappy?" Chen Ping, who was sitting at the door watching the house, immediately stood up and asked when she saw her come back.
"It's okay, you go back and get some sleep. I want to sleep too." He didn't mention that Father He was injured because he didn't want her to worry.
"Okay then, I'm going back. If you have any problems, don't keep them to yourself. Talk to me. Maybe I can help you find a solution."
As he walked, he reminded her. After she nodded, Shen Ping quickened his pace and yawned as he went home.
She had to go home and write a letter to tell Su Benjun about her pregnancy. This would make him happy and also give him something to think about when he went out on a mission, so that he wouldn't just work himself to death without taking care of his own life.
After watching her enter the door, He Wanqing bent down, took the stool at the door into the yard, then turned around and closed the door.
She went into the kitchen to take a look first, and after seeing that the flames at the bottom of the pot had died down and the soup in the pot would not dry up, she turned around and left.
"Wanqing~" He's mother, who had been reminded by her mother-in-law, trotted over and saw her daughter close the door. After watching her leave the kitchen, she knocked on the door and called her.
He Wanqing, who was about to go to the back mountain, paused when she heard her mother's voice: "Mom, why are you here?"
Isn't she at home packing her things?
How come she followed me right after I got home? ? ?
Could it be that you don't want her to go to the army with you? ? ?
