Linglong only remembered that the conflict occurred shortly after the Chinese New Year, but she didn't remember the specific date.
She and Zhou Manman and others were having class in the classroom when they heard a commotion outside.
"There's a war, there's a war."
"There's been fighting on the border."
"Our troops have passed by."
After hearing the content clearly, everyone in the classroom lost their focus on the class, and Linglong was so nervous that she stood up suddenly.
Not to mention the students, even the teachers who were teaching in class lost their focus after hearing the news. They looked worried and just wanted to find someone to clarify the situation immediately.
The class was over, and as soon as the teacher announced the end of get out of class, all the students in the classroom rushed out.
Everyone started looking for people to ask.
"Sister, please ask the teacher for leave for me. I need to make a phone call."
"Oh."
As soon as Zhou Manman finished her response, Linglong ran away.
"What happened to Linglong?"
"You forgot, her husband is a soldier. How could she not be worried when she heard there was a war?"
"Yes."
"Why did a war break out all of a sudden?"
Everyone's face was filled with worry and sadness. After all, the country had been at peace for a long time, and war was a very distant thing for them.
Linglong rushed to the place where she could make a phone call at school, but there was already a very long queue. It looked like it would take an hour or two for her to get through. After a while of anxiety, she walked straight out of the school.
After leaving the school gate, she ran to the bus stop, waited for a while, and finally got on the bus.
In the car, many people also knew the news of the war and were discussing it heatedly.
Linglong was in a very anxious mood and was heading towards the compound.
There were long lines of people waiting to make phone calls at school, and she thought there might be long lines elsewhere too. After much deliberation, going to the compound was the best option at the moment.
Not only is it convenient to make a phone call, but the compound is more informed, and maybe she can get some useful information.
After she took the bus to the stop and walked to the outside of the compound, the guard on guard duty already knew her. He knew that she was the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family and came almost every week, so he let her in.
When she got home and knocked on the door, she saw her mother-in-law looking equally nervous.
"Linglong, why are you here?" Zeng Yu was a little surprised to see her.
On weekdays, she only comes here during holidays.
"Mom, have you heard about the war on the border?"
"I heard about it." She looked worried when she mentioned this.
There are two people in their family who are in the army.'
My husband holds a high position, so he won't go to the front line, but the same may be true for my son.
My son is still young, and if there is a shortage of soldiers on the border, he is very likely to lead the troops to the front line.
As a mother, how could she not worry.
"Mom, I want to call Tiansen."
As Linglong finished speaking, she heard her mother-in-law sigh. "I've called, I've called several times, but I couldn't find Tiansen."
This made Linglong even more nervous. "What should we do then?"
"Well, we can only wait for your father to come and see if he knows anything."
In fact, as a military dependent, Zeng Yu knew that even if she inquired about some things, they might not know them for the sake of security, but how could she resist asking?
At school, Zhou Manman helped Linglong apply for leave smoothly.
Knowing that Linglong is a military wife, the teacher can understand her current mood. Moreover, Linglong behaves very well on weekdays and her test scores are among the best. The teacher also appreciates her and even feels a little worried about her.
Linglong waited in the compound until she arrived at her father-in-law's house. As soon as she saw him, she couldn't wait to ask questions.
Zheng's father understood her anxiety, but he remained serious and said, "Whether Tiansen goes to the front lines or not is not our business at the moment. He's a soldier. If the country needs him, he must obey orders and follow commands. As military dependents, you should also have the same awareness."
As a military leader, he can be ruthless, but as a father, doesn't he really worry about his son?
But right now, he is the backbone of the family and must be stabilized first.
Linglong was extremely disappointed because she didn't get any useful information.
But she also knew that what her father-in-law said was right.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zeng Yu didn't let her go.
Zheng Tianxin and Zheng Tianbao also returned home.
The family was in no mood to eat dinner and just sat around the radio listening to the broadcast.
Linglong didn't go out at night, and Zhou Manman and the others were very worried.
She showed up in the classroom the next morning.
Everyone in her class now knows that she is a military wife, and they look at her with a mixture of worry and sympathy.
After class, some classmates came over to express their greetings and concern for her. Linglong forced herself to smile and thank them, and she was in no mood to do anything else.
In the classroom, Zhou Manman and the others didn't dare to ask, but when they got to the dormitory, they asked in a low voice.
"Linglong, has your husband gone to the battlefield?"
Linglong shook her head. "I don't know. I haven't been able to contact him since yesterday."
Everyone looked at each other and hurried to comfort her.
"Actually, no news is also bad news. Now that there's a war going on, the troops must be very nervous. Who knows where they're training."
"Yes, yes."
Within two or three days, more news about the border war came out through newspapers and radio.
These news also set off a wave of patriotic enthusiasm, and many students stood up and asked to join the army and go to the battlefield.
Before, the classmates looked at Linglong with sympathy and worry, but now it has turned into more admiration.
Linglong hadn't received any news from her husband. Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was actually very confused inside.
Whether it was eating or sleeping, she was forcing herself.
Before this, she felt that she couldn't bear to leave him, nor could she bear to leave their small family.
Now, she couldn't contact him, and she couldn't stop thinking about him, thinking that he might have gone to the battlefield.
It turned out that he was so important to her that she couldn't live without him.
Her roommates could all see that she was getting thinner and thinner, so they could only comfort her and advise her to eat and rest regularly, but they couldn't help her.
During this period, she went to the compound again, but still found nothing, and her worries deepened.
Perhaps because she was too worried, she dreamed that he was injured and covered in blood. She woke up suddenly and couldn't fall asleep again. She sat on the bed with her knees hugged for half the night.
"Zheng Tiansen, where are you? Can't you just send me a message? Do you know how worried I am about you?"
There were more and more news in newspapers and on the radio, some praising combat heroes and some reporting on the sacrificed and wounded soldiers.
Following these news, everyone was sometimes excited and full of admiration, and sometimes sad and crying.
Just when Linglong was about to get sick with worry, Zheng Tianxin came to the school.
As soon as she walked out of the classroom and saw her sister-in-law, Linglong guessed something and rushed over immediately.
"Is there any news about your brother?"
