After receiving this letter, Zhang Xinlan felt much better because she now had spiritual support. Congwen was right. She should wait for him to come back. She should believe in her son and believe that he would definitely come back safely. She firmly believed it.
Her improved condition made the whole family feel relieved. Although they were still worried about Congwen, they could only suppress their worries because they could do nothing but worry. They could only relax and wait for good news from Congwen.
In Su Dalin's words, Congwen is the pride of their family. They are the families of a soldier and they must be mentally prepared for Congwen's return.
The days passed peacefully one by one, winter gradually passed, spring was about to come, and when the weather gradually warmed up, Su Qingyun and his family of three set out on the journey back to the capital.
The family members seemed to be accustomed to seeing them off. They silently helped them pack their things, and wanted to take all the food and things they could bring with them. Then, on a sunny day, they sent them out and walked them quite far away.
"Grandpa and grandma, uncle and aunt, second uncle and second aunt, you all go back." Su Qingyun said.
"It's okay, let's walk a little further." Li Xiulian said, "We don't know when we'll be back next time, so let's walk a little further with you."
She looked at Wu Guixiang with red eyes and knew in her heart that among the whole family, the one who was most reluctant to part with Yunyun was her mother-in-law, and she felt extremely uncomfortable every time they parted.
"Yes, please send me off again." Zhang Xinlan said in a gentle tone.
After the incident with Congwen, her personality changed a lot. She was no longer as sharp and became calmer. Especially her attitude towards Su Qingyun, it was a drastic change.
Recently, she has been caring about Su Qingyun's food, clothing, and well-being every day, taking care of her in every possible way. She cooks whatever Su Qingyun wants to eat, treating her as if she were her own daughter.
The family members were all confused when they saw this scene.
Only Zhang Xinlan knew that the most desperate moment in her life was when Qingyun came to her bedside and brought news about Congwen. She would remember this love for the rest of her life.
Su Qingyun opened his mouth, but couldn't bear to say no anymore, so he could only let them continue to send it.
The family saw them off for a long time, but no matter how long the journey was, there would always be a time to say goodbye.
Wu Guixiang took Su Qingyun's hand and carefully reminded her: "Eat well, rest well, and don't forget everything when you are busy."
"Just tell your parents what you want to eat and ask them to cook it. Don't be reluctant to spend money and buy whatever you want." Wu Guixiang knew that her granddaughter was very generous to her family, but she herself hardly spent any money and seldom wanted anything.
"Also, you have to look after your father and encourage him to make progress. Don't forget, he still owes you something." Wu Guixiang said the second half of the sentence in a low voice, and only the grandmother and grandson could hear it.
"Don't worry, Yunyun, I'll remember it for you."
Su Qingyun was a little amused, but she felt warm in her heart because she knew that her grandma said all these things for her own good.
So she just nodded, "Okay, grandma, I understand."
"I'm glad to know." Wu Guixiang patted her hands. Her weathered hands looked particularly tender next to Su Qingyun's fair and tender hands.
"Grandma, you and grandpa should move to the capital and live with us." Su Qingyun couldn't help but say this.
Wu Guixiang paused and lowered her eyes. "Let's talk about this later."
Their Su family has not split up. According to old customs, if the family splits up in the future, she and her husband should live with the eldest son's family. However, she really can't let go of her granddaughter, whom she raised. She also wants to go to the capital, but with her granddaughter on one side and so many other people in the family on the other, Wu Guixiang really doesn't know how to choose.
But it is still early now, Yunyun is still studying, and Congwen has not come back yet. Perhaps in a few years, when she and her husband are old and can no longer work in the fields, she will be able to make a choice.
"Okay." Su Qingyun nodded, but did not force it at this time.
"Okay, let's go, don't delay." Wu Guixiang let go of her hand.
"Then grandpa and grandma, uncle and aunt, second uncle and second aunt, we will leave first. We will come back when we have time." Su Qingyun looked at everyone and said seriously.
"Okay, we'll wait for you to come back."
Su Aimin and Qin Ying also said, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother and Sister-in-law, Second Brother and Sister-in-law, we are leaving."
"Go slowly and be careful on the road."
The Su family watched them walk away. The figures of the three of them became smaller and smaller. They all sighed deeply. With the third brother and his family gone, the family became smaller and more deserted.
"When children grow up, they will eventually leave home." Seeing that his wife was upset, Su Dalin patted Wu Guixiang's shoulder to comfort her.
There are four children in their family. The military son went to the city to work as a worker, got married and had children, and only came back during the holidays. The civil servant and the soldier did not know when they would be able to come back. Yunyun's family went to the capital so far away, and they came back less and less often.
Seeing their family members getting smaller and smaller, they felt melancholy in their hearts, but people always have to accept separation, or in other words, people spend their whole lives in separation, bidding farewell to their parents, children, and finally to themselves.
Everyone does this, over and over again.
————————
The train roared, crossing mountains and rivers, and Su Qingyun's family of three returned to the capital again. After all, it is a city, and the weather in the capital is a little warmer than that in Luoshui Village. After leaving the train station and walking for a while, the three of them actually felt a little hot.
Su Aimin looked intently at the passersby, shaking his head as he watched, "Sure enough, during the time we were away, these clothes and jewelry have come out with a lot of new styles. We are really one step behind others."
