Lu Chuan's words hit the spotlight for the captain's wife, and she thought the same from the bottom of her heart.
If this girl marries far away, and is wronged or bullied in the future, who can travel such a long distance?
The girl said: From now on, I will take root in the Northwest, how can this be tolerated?
They are in the northeast, and the girl is in the northwest. It is possible that they will not see each other for most of their lives. How can they feel at ease?
The more Captain Lu's wife thought about it, the sadder she became. Her tears fell like free beads.
Lu Yong felt very uncomfortable when he saw his mother crying so sadly.
After listening to his elder brother's words, he realized how one-sided his thinking was.
Sun Meiying, who was busy in the kitchen, quietly looked at her sister.
"Well, little sister, don't blame parents for not agreeing.
They are also reluctant to let you go, but as your sister-in-law, I will definitely support you.
We women should go out more and see the world while we are still young.
You must know more and have seen more than us in Beijing, and your ideological awareness is higher than ours.
Since you said you want to build the Northwest, it means it should be built!"
Listening to Sun Meiying's words, Lu Yuan forced a smile on his face.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Lu Yuan sniffed, rubbed his sore and swollen eyes, and looked at the flames dancing under the earthen pot. An incomprehensible light flashed in his eyes.
Qiao Qianqian waited in the room for a long time, and when she heard no more noise outside, she slowly walked out.
The yard was covered with ice and snow. Originally, everyone would shovel it away, but it has been snowing every other day in the past few days, and the speed of shoveling the snow is slower than the speed of the snow falling.
So he didn't shovel anymore. When Lu Yong saw his wife coming out, he hurried forward to greet her.
"What are you doing out here? The road is so slippery and it's so cold, you might as well sit inside."
Qiao Qianqian rolled her eyes at Lu Yong and said, "There's such a big commotion outside, what would it look like if I didn't come out?
I'll go see mom, you take out the canned food that Xiao Wen gave us before.
My little sister finally came back, so she has to eat something good."
Qiao Qianqian walked towards the main room with one foot deep and one foot shallow. When Captain Lu's wife saw her younger daughter-in-law coming, she quickly wiped her tears and called for them to sit down.
Qiao Qianqian did not sit on the stool, but stood beside Captain Lu's wife, reached out and held Captain Lu's wife's somewhat rough hand.
"Mom, there are some things that I, as a daughter-in-law, shouldn't say, but seeing everyone making such a fuss, I feel really bad.
The fact that my younger sister can go to study in Beijing shows that she is very smart.
She must have her own opinion on this matter. We might as well ask her privately what she thinks.
At the very least, aren’t there many educated youth in our village who came from Beijing?
Let them find out at school if my little sister has suffered any injustice in school?
If nothing happens, it means that my sister has a high level of ideological awareness, just like the educated youth in our brigade.
We go to the countryside to support rural construction, but the conditions in the Northwest are a little more difficult than ours.
If she has made up her mind, it would be a good idea to prepare more things for my little sister so that she can have a better life there, right? "
Although Qiao Qianqian had never met Lu Yuan, she had heard about him from Lu Yong.
Lu Yuan was not only favored at home, but also very stubborn.
Seeing the struggle and hesitation on Captain Lu's wife's face, Qiao Qianqian bit her lip and continued, "Mom, you know my little sister better than I do.
Based on my sister's past temper, if we insist on not agreeing, what will happen to her in the end?"
There was a flash of bitterness in Captain Lu's wife's eyes. Given her daughter's personality, she might pack up and go to the Northwest while returning to school.
The emperor is far away, how can they tie her up?
During dinner in the evening, the atmosphere in the whole hall was solemn.
Captain Lu sat in the first seat with a gloomy face, not saying a word, looking creepy.
Qiao Qianqian specially placed the can in front of Lu Yuan.
With a slight smile on his face, he said, "Little sister, this is canned pears from our brigade. You can't get it in Beijing. Come and try it."
Lu Yuan glanced at his father, lowered his head, and said softly, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
The chopsticks in her hand were stuck in the pear, and she slowly picked it up and passed it to Captain Lu.
"Dad, you eat."
She picked up another piece of food with chopsticks for Captain Lu's wife, which made Captain Lu's wife feel so sad. Her daughter has really grown up.
Captain Lu felt his throat dry and opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw his daughter's eager eyes, he silently swallowed the words back.
With his head lowered and eyes drooped, he picked up the canned pears that his daughter brought over and put them into his mouth. No one noticed that his eyes were slightly hot and red.
After eating a few mouthfuls of food in a hurry, Captain Lu made an excuse to visit the Pear Garden and walked out.
This time he did not go anywhere else, but went directly to the educated youth site.
He knew a little about Fang Shijie's family background, and he also listened to what his daughter-in-law said.
Although he was very reluctant, he knew that he couldn't stop his daughter.
All he could do now was to ask Fang Zhiqing to help find out whether the girl had suffered any injustice at school.
It was just an unfortunate coincidence that he came, as Fang Shijie had gone to the county today.
Wu Yu looked at his staggering steps and said with some concern: "Captain Lu, he will probably be back in the evening. If you have anything to say, you can tell me.
I'll tell him later that the road is slippery after dark, so you don't have to make another trip."
Captain Lu waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it after Fang Zhiqing comes back.
"Xiao Wu, it's cold outside, please come inside and warm up."
Captain Lu had no idea that they would have to wait for a whole month. Fang Shijie asked someone to get a letter of introduction from the brigade, and without stopping for a moment, he headed towards Beijing.
Lu Yong saw that the hair around his father's ears had turned a little white due to worry, so he gritted his teeth and went to find Lu Zhiye.
"Brother Ye, do you know Fang Zhiqing's home phone number?
Or maybe you could send him a telegram, I have something to ask him!"
Lu Zhiye was a little puzzled: "What's the matter? He will be back soon. Sending a telegram will cost a lot of money."
These days, telegrams are charged according to the number of words. Lu Zhiye felt that unless something unsolvable had happened, Lu Yong would not be willing to spend the money.
"She is my little sister. She keeps asking to go and support the construction of the northwest. My father is worried that she has been bullied at school.
We thought that someone from Fang Zhiqing's family might be in Beijing, so please help us find out."
A deep thought flashed across Lu Zhiye's eyes. If he remembered correctly, in his previous life, after the country resumed the college entrance examination and Lu Yuan was admitted to Peking University, there was no news for a long time.
