When Wang Jingyi heard that this was the worst-case scenario, she keenly grasped the implication—that there were other options. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she asked eagerly, "Dad, what are the other options?"
Grandpa Yang looked up, his eyes filled with helplessness and hesitation. "This plan may disappoint you."
Wang Jingyi was slightly taken aback. "What?"
Su Yue and the others also turned their attention to Grandpa Yang.
Grandpa Yang said, "Unless the Revolutionary Committee Director forgets about us."
Su Yue, Wang Jingyi, Grandma Yang, and the Yang brothers: "..."
Grandma Yang glared at her husband reproachfully, her voice tinged with complaint: "Old man, before you said that, did you even consider how eagerly we are waiting for your answer?"
At this moment, Yang Yijing realized that he had caused trouble. He lowered his head, looked away, and remained silent.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yue suggested, "Why don't we call and ask my godfather?"
This movement will not end for another two years, and there are some things that need to be prepared in advance. For example, when the day comes for Yang Yimiao and his group to go to the countryside, they can go anywhere but the Great Northern Wilderness.
She and Grandpa Yang agreed that they couldn't go to the same place as Gao Yuzhen.
—Here we insert a side story about Yang Guohua's family and Su Shizhong from their previous life.
When Yang Guohua heard the news of the deaths of his two sons while in the army, he was completely devastated. He resigned from the army without hesitation and rushed to the Great Northern Wilderness with his family.
When his parents and wife saw the two lonely graves, they could no longer hold back their tears and fainted.
Despite the intense pain surging within him, Yang Guohua settled them in.
When the night was deep and quiet, he walked heavily up the mountain alone, carrying a flashlight.
He wants to dig up the grave.
He wouldn't give up until he saw with his own eyes whether it was his son inside.
As Su Shizhong was digging and searching for sheep on the mountain, he saw a strange man kneeling in front of the graves of two young educated youths who had been killed by a large rock a dozen days earlier. The man looked grief-stricken and was digging the soil with his hands.
Su Shizhong hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, scolding, "Comrade, what are you doing? How can you dig up other people's graves? How sad their parents would be if they knew."
Su Shizhong was filled with indignation. The two educated youths had already died so tragically, and to dig up their graves was simply outrageous.
Yang Guohua abruptly stopped digging in the soil with his hands, his voice hoarse and low: "I am their father."
After saying that, he lowered his head again and continued to dig frantically.
Su Shizhong stood there dumbfounded for a long time before muttering to himself, "A father digging up his son's grave? I've lived for countless years, and this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it..."
As he spoke, he looked at Yang Guohua, his eyes full of doubt: "Why did you dig them up? Are you taking them back to your hometown?"
Yang Guohua continued digging mechanically, as if he hadn't heard Su Shizhong's words.
Su Shizhong sighed helplessly, squatted down next to Yang Guohua, and said earnestly, "If you dig with your hands, you won't find anything even if you dig until tomorrow. You have to use a hoe. Unless you tell me what you want to do with them, I'll go down the mountain and find you a hoe."
Yang Guohua ignored him and focused on doing his own thing.
Su Shizhong continued, "I dug these two pits myself. I know how deep they are. You really can't dig them with your hands. Listen to me, tell me what you're thinking."
Upon hearing this, Yang Guohua slowly turned his head to look at Su Shizhong, his eyes sharp, as if trying to see through him.
Seeing this, Su Shizhong said, "What? Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'm going to go find the sheep."
Yang Guohua stared intently at Su Shizhong for a while before asking, "Were you a soldier before?"
