Chapter 87 Chapter 87 No one in the yard
Pearl Island.
The same name that Fan Meiyu mentioned.
When Lu Qinghe received this news, his hands and feet instantly turned cold.
She didn't lie.
In the life before Lu Qinghe came, Zhao Zhanming did die early.
If that's the case, what about Zhao Zimo in the previous life? What about Zhao Zirui?
One experienced the loss of his father once again, and the other might stay in Zhaojiagou forever...
And there is Zhao Zhanming.
He had been through some painful and sad things.
Lu Qinghe didn't even dare to think too deeply about these things.
She was afraid that she couldn't hold it back and burst into tears right away.
"Mrs. Lu?"
The orderly actually didn't quite understand. He usually helped pass messages, but never like today. After Mrs. Lu heard it, she was stunned as if she had heard something very important.
"Hey." Lu Qinghe came back to his senses and forced a smile: "I... little comrade, are you sure it's Pearl Island?"
"Yes, that's what I said."
"How long will it take this time?"
"At least ten days, and up to half a month."
Lu Qinghe took a deep breath. "Why is he so anxious this time? Old Zhao didn't even have time to come home and explain everything to me."
The orderly scratched his head. "I don't know the details, but I heard it's related to the Russians. The situation is a bit tense, so they sent our people over there."
Sure enough, it was almost exactly the same as what Fan Meiyu said.
They can influence an individual, a family, but they cannot influence the whole situation...
wrong.
Lu Qinghe shook his head.
This kind of thinking is too pessimistic. She had promised Zhao Zhanming that she would trust him.
With advance warning, things will be affected and changed no matter what. Maybe...
Lu Qinghe thought that maybe, except for Zhao Zhanming, many people who had accidents in the previous life because of this mission would have a better ending.
"sister in law?"
"Feel sorry."
Lu Qinghe came back to his senses, "It was a bit sudden, so I might have been overly worried."
"I understand, I understand." The attendant smiled. "But Mrs. Lu, don't worry too much. Although this happened suddenly, we have made preparations in advance. Captain Zhao will be home safely in a few days."
"Well, thank you, little comrade."
Lu Qinghe thought about it, handed over a few oranges, and then carried Zhao Ran home.
Lu Qinghe did not go out for the whole day after that.
Little Zhao Ran seemed to have noticed her mother's mood. In addition to drinking milk obediently, she suddenly called out "sister" in the evening.
This child can say "Dad" and "Mom" with single syllables when he is over half a year old, but he can only say the other words sporadically.
I just didn't expect that she would suddenly say "sister" clearly.
"You kid."
Lu Qinghe picked up Zhao Ran and rubbed her cheek affectionately, her eyes and eyebrows showing a hint of smile, "Do I still need you to coax me? Just eat well and grow up safely, and mom will protect you."
Protect this home too.
In the evening, the three children arrived home.
While eating, everyone reacted indifferently when they heard that Zhao Zhanming had gone out on a mission.
After all, everyone in the family was used to Zhao Zhanming's sudden departure.
After coaxing Zhao Ran to sleep, Lu Qinghe looked at her and sighed slightly.
"mom."
The bedroom door was pushed open, and it was Lu Yang.
"Why aren't you asleep? Where are Lu Yao and the others?"
"They just lay down."
Lu Yang walked in, first glanced at his sister, then looked at Lu Qinghe.
"Mom, are you unhappy today?"
Lu Qinghe didn't expect that even though she tried her best to cover it up, Lu Yang still saw through it.
"No." Lu Qinghe said with a smile.
Lu Yang hesitated and shook his head: "Mom, you must have something wrong. Are you worried about Dad leaving suddenly?"
Lu Qinghe has always known that her Lu Yang is a thoughtful and warm little sun.
But she also suddenly realized that her little sun would one day be able to discover her unhappiness.
After thinking about it, Lu Qinghe nodded calmly: "Yes, there are some."
Lu Yang: "Mom has never been this unhappy, unless it's something serious. Is there any danger in Dad's mission this time?"
Lu Qinghe was worried for herself and didn't want to be seen.
Now that it’s been discovered, I don’t want to make my children worry as well.
Lu Qinghe shook her head and smiled, "It's just that this time it might take a little longer, so I'm a little worried. It's actually not that serious. Also, your grandma didn't have time to come this year. It's all because of various things. But it's nothing serious. You don't have to worry. Mom is the adult, and she will just worry about it."
Lu Yang hummed.
"But mom, Lu Yao, Zhao Zirui, and I are all fifteen years old now. In three years, we'll all be adults. And Brother Zimo, our family won't just be protected by you from now on. We'll all protect it together."
Lu Qinghe was moved and couldn't help but reach out and touch Lu Yang's head.
After the child entered junior high school, he rarely showed affection to his mother. Sometimes, he would deliberately avoid her because he felt uncomfortable.
But today, Lu Yang stood there obediently, saying words to comfort Lu Qinghe.
"You guys have really grown up."
"Yes, and my younger sister will grow up soon."
Lu Qinghe nodded with emotion, "Okay, Mom understands, you should go and have some rest."
Lu Yang looked at Lu Qinghe again before leaving.
Outside the door.
"How about it?"
As soon as Lu Yang came out, Lu Yao and Zhao Zimo pulled him into the house.
It turned out that the two of them had already heard what Lu Yang said, but they were afraid that Lu Qinghe would waste energy and energy comforting them, so after discussing it, they only let Lu Yang go in.
"It doesn't seem like anything serious." Lu Yang scratched his head: "Dad is away for a long time this time, and grandma doesn't have time this year."
Lu Yao frowned: "Then let's all try to be obedient during this period, don't cause trouble for our mother, and don't let her worry."
"Zi Rui and I will definitely be fine, what about you?"
Lu Yao snorted, "I know what's important, okay?"
"Okay, okay, Zirui, you are responsible for supervising her."
Zhao Zirui nodded as he was told.
In the next few days, the three children were really well-behaved.
Lu Yang began to learn to take the initiative to be responsible for his younger brother and sister-in-law's breakfast, Zhao Zirui helped clean the house every day, and Lu Yao stopped being so busy. In the monthly exam, she even came in third place.
The whole half month at home was unusually peaceful.
This attracted the envy of Lu Qinghe from several families next door.
But Lu Qinghe knew the reason in her heart. While she was happy that the children were sensible, she was also secretly worried about Zhao Zhanming.
But this mission was extremely long. After half a month, there was still no news from Zhao Zhanming.
It was not until one morning three days later that Meng Bin's father, Commander Meng, came to the door in person.
When Lu Qinghe opened the door and saw that it was Commander Meng, his heart almost stopped.
"Xiao Lu..."
"Commander Meng, has something happened to my son, Mr. Zhao?" Lu Qinghe couldn't wait a moment and asked directly without caring about anything else.
Commander Meng was stunned, his expression somewhat stagnant: "Xiao Lu, don't be nervous or excited."
Lu Qinghe couldn't slow down at all, "Master Meng, that's what you said. I can handle it. Where is he now?"
"He's fine."
Lu Qinghe was startled, his eyes wide in disbelief: "So you're here..."
Commander Meng hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go in and talk."
Behind him was Mrs. Wei, and the couple came together to discuss both personal and official matters.
The official business was for Zhao Zhanming, and it seemed that he probably wanted Wei Xiuhua to help appease Lu Qinghe.
"Qinghe, don't worry." Sister Wei glanced at Commander Meng beside her, hesitated, and explained, "Your old Zhao is fine. Old Meng has received the news. He is fine, but..."
"What?"
Commander Meng sighed. "There was an accident. We were stuck on the island. We relied on the last bit of signal to send a message back. He brought a lot of people with him. They are all safe now, just hiding. But don't worry, our people have already gone. We just have to trouble you to wait a few days. I was afraid you would worry, so I thought I would tell you this specifically."
"Besieged?"
Lu Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Can they eat regularly? If this goes on for too long, they'll starve to death, and their physical strength will be depleted, which will naturally affect their combat performance..."
Halfway through his speech, Lu Qinghe shook his head again: "For this matter, we should have thought of countermeasures in advance during daily training. I can't worry about this, but it won't work if we wait too long."
Seeing that Lu Qinghe was at a loss, Mrs. Wei hurried over and comforted her again.
Commander Meng: "Xiao Lu, you have to have confidence in Zhao Zhanming, and you also have to have confidence in us, right?"
"yes."
Lu Qinghe nodded affirmatively: "I promised him, I believe it."
"Yes, that's right. Don't worry, this incident is not an ordinary one. In addition to sending more personnel, we have also made efforts in public opinion. We will know the outcome in five days at most."
"...Okay, five days. I'll wait."
But the information spread so quickly that on the third day, Zhao Zimo, who had received the news, rushed back home exhausted.
The door is not locked.
There was no one in the yard.
The three younger siblings who usually play and laugh with me are not here either.
The house was quiet, as if it had been empty for a moment.
When Zhao Zimo stepped into the yard, his heart seemed to become empty as well.
In an instant, he seemed to have returned to that night many years ago, when his parents had left and he was alone...
Just as I was panicking, I suddenly heard a baby whimpering in the room.
It’s Ranran.
My sister is still here.
Zhao Zimo walked quickly into the living room. When he saw Lu Qinghe holding Zhao Ran and feeding him rice oil, his eyes instantly became sore.
"Mom! Are you okay? Dad... Dad is okay."
mom?
Lu Qinghe was a little dazed, but also realized that it was him who was being called.
But at this moment, she really couldn't muster any energy.
Lu Qinghe: "Yeah, it's okay, everything is okay."
"But……"
Zhao Zimo frowned and walked over quickly.
Ranran's face was still rosy, and she was enjoying her meal, not noticing the change in the atmosphere at home at all.
Lu Qinghe seemed to have lost some weight.
Zhao Zimo: "But I saw the report about what happened on Pearl Island. Our people were temporarily surrounded and there were conflicts on both sides. Then I remembered that you said on the last phone call that my dad's mission was also on Pearl Island."
"Don't panic, Zimo."
Lu Qinghe was comforting Zhao Zimo and herself at the same time.
"Zhao Zhanming will be fine."
Although such an incident still happened, the specific details were completely different from what Fan Meiyu said. This time there was room for maneuver, and Zhao Zhanming was just leading his men to hold on.
"It'll be fine. He'll be back in two days." Lu Qinghe said affirmatively.
