Big brother's words came out of nowhere.
Chen Nongmo, who had never expected this, was stunned.
All in all, the time I spent with my parents was too short, only about a week in total.
She was of course thinking about them.
But when he came to this world, he spent more time with Qiuhua's mother, Zong's father and his brother.
That’s why Chen Nongmo didn’t react just now. His parents’ vindication means that their family can be reunited.
Is she going?
She must go! After all, they are mom and dad. His mind was full of mixed thoughts, and before Chen Nongmo could figure it out, Chen Jun exploded. He knew it was not good, but he just couldn't bear to leave.
Young people are sincere by nature and always speak and act without considering the consequences.
As a result, he was so angry that he slammed the table, stood up, rolled up his sleeves and shouted: "Why is Lao Liu going there? I heard that life in the border areas is very hard, with strong winds and sandstorms. If she doesn't go, she can live in our house."
After saying that, he childishly ran behind his sister and put his hands on her shoulders, as if he was really afraid that she would run away.
If it was when his sister first came, although he cherished her, he would not be so reluctant to let her go.
But people are made of flesh and blood. Over the past six months, he has gotten used to carrying his sister to and from school, holding his sister's hand when eating delicious food, laughing and playing with his sister when playing on the ice sled, and even more used to the little girl who finally grew to his shoulder height sweetly calling him "fourth brother".
He is Lao Liu’s biological brother!
The order was all in order, why? Why did it suddenly not count? Why did my sister have to leave? The more he thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved he became. The young boy Chen Jun's eyes turned red, but he didn't know what to do. In the end, he could only glare at his eldest brother who had said this.
Chen Wuwen and Cao Qiuhua felt a headache because of the fourth brother's nagging, but they also understood that he was reluctant to part with Yu Yu.
But they can't bear to let go. Don't Ji Mo and De Mao miss their child?
Emotionally speaking, she naturally hopes that her daughter will always live at home.
But rationally, she knew it was unrealistic.
Thinking of this, Cao Qiuhua, who also couldn't figure out what to do because the news came too suddenly, rubbed his head and fell silent.
In the end, it was Chen Zong who made the final decision: "There is no rush for this matter. It will take at least 20 days for Brother Demao and his wife to settle down in the border area. Then it will depend on what they and Yuyu think. Also, no matter what, we have to wait until my daughter finishes the high school entrance examination and gets her junior high school diploma."
= Master bedroom.
Cao Qiuhua tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, just like last year when she learned that her daughter was coming.
But back then I was full of excitement and anticipation, but today I feel melancholy and reluctance.
Thinking that her delicate and sensible daughter was going to leave her, and that she might be gone for many years, she turned over again in annoyance.
"Can't sleep?" Seeing his wife baking pancakes for more than half an hour, Chen Zong turned sideways and asked.
".I feel a little upset."
Knowing what his wife was worried about, the man reached out to pull her into his arms, but saw Cao Qiuhua suddenly lift the quilt and sit up.
"do what?"
Cao Qiuhua casually pushed the hair off her face and sat on the bed to put on her shoes: "I'm going to sleep with Yuyu."
After saying this, without caring about her husband's reaction, she went straight to the closet, took out a small quilt and left the bedroom.
Chen Zong, who had not slept alone since his child grew up, sat on the bed with a dazed look on his face.
Looking at his wife who didn't even turn back, as if she had forgotten him, he fell into deep doubt.
So, is my sweet little cotton-padded jacket going to leak today? No, my wife is gone, so the leak must be a sandstorm, right? = The days ahead.
No one mentioned the topic of Chen Nongmo's departure again.
Life has returned to its normal pace.
Those who go to school go to school, and those who work in the fields go to the fields.
The only thing that has changed is probably the craze for making clothes that has emerged in the village.
Shanshun Village has a small population and abundant land, and the conditions in the village are generally much better than those in other villages because the village relies on the mountain for its livelihood.
But in the whole village, there are still only a few families who own expensive items such as bicycles or sewing machines.
Just the next day after the old secretary and several village cadres sold all the cloth and sent the money over, an aunt who had a good relationship with Cao Qiuhua came to borrow a sewing machine.
They don't lend money for free. They either lend a few eggs, or carry a few small fish caught from the river. Or if they grow fresh vegetables at home, they will bring the vegetables directly to their door.
Almost all the meals at home are taken care of by these aunts.
It has been busy for nearly half a month, and time has passed quickly, striding into the beginning of June.
People, along with the mountains, rivers and fields, put on summer clothes.
At the same time, it was time for the eldest brother Chen Wuwen to leave.
Everyone was mentally prepared for this matter, so there wasn't much emotional fluctuation.
Especially Cao Qiuhua, knowing that her son was going back to the army to visit her, she didn't care about the sadness of separation. She asked directly: "Have you bought the tickets?"
Chen Wuwen shook his head: "Let's buy it at the train station."
“Then can I buy a good seat?”
Chen Wuwen didn't care: "It's okay, any position is fine, standing is fine."
Although it takes three days to get home, the part that requires taking the train is only half a day, and the rest of the time is spent on various buses, so there is no need to buy train tickets in advance.
Hearing this, Cao Qiuhua frowned, but did not continue to dwell on this topic: "You should take the blind date seriously. It would be great if it can work out. It would be a blessing for our family to marry such an outstanding girl. If the girl doesn't like you, you can't be disrespectful to her, understand? You had a bad temper when you were a child, and you would be disrespectful when you were angry."
Chen Wuwen wiped his face helplessly amid the giggles of his younger brothers and sisters: "Mom, I am 30 years old this year, not 3 years old. How many years ago was that thing you are talking about?"
Cao Qiuhua squinted at him and said, "Aren't you only 29?"
Chen Wuwen. After lunch, the men who had taken care of the fields in the morning went into the mountains together.
Chen Nongmo wanted to go along, but today Father Zong and eldest brother were going to take the third, fourth and fifth brothers into the mountains, even carrying their children, so it was impossible for them to take a little girl like her with them.
The boys were even worried that their sister would act like a spoiled brat, so when they met her eyes, they laughed a few times and ran away without looking back.
In just a short while, Chen Nongmo and Qiuhua's mother were the only ones left at home.
Cao Qiuhua was weaving cloth. There were no entertainment activities, and Chen Nongmo, who didn't even have homework, had to make clothes.
Yes, she regarded making clothes as an entertaining activity to pass the time.
Thinking of this, Chen Nongmo stepped hard on the sewing machine in a not very good mood.
Perhaps it is because there are green trees at the foot of the mountain, or perhaps it is because the scorching heat has not yet officially arrived.
Chen Nongmo likes this warm weather now.
In particular, she asked her brothers to help her carry the sewing machine under the window eaves.
The window was open, and the clear sky and the fragrant scent of flowers enveloped people.
Slowly, her restlessness was calmed down.
= Just as the mother and daughter were busy and chatting, the fourth brother's loud voice came from outside, who had just left: "Sixth Brother! Sixth Brother! Come out quickly! Come with me to answer the phone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Nongmo was pulled up from the stool.
Looking at his fourth brother, Chen Nongmo tried to keep up and asked in confusion: "Whose electricity?"
Halfway through the question, she reacted and asked in surprise, "My parents?"
"Yes! Uncle Ergen just called us. Dad and big brother have already gone to answer the phone. You should hurry up too."
Cao Qiuhua, who followed him out, locked the door. Upon hearing this, she took a few quick steps, slapped her son's unruly hand away, and took her daughter's arm, scolding her, "You are so impatient. Didn't you see that Yu Yu's wrist is red?"
Chen Jun, who was feeling a little aggrieved, scratched his head, stared at the red mark on his sister's arm, and said, "Yuyu, does it hurt? I didn't mean it."
"It doesn't hurt, it just looks red." This is true. The whiter the skin, the more likely it is to get marks after bumps and bumps.
And at this moment, most of her attention was focused elsewhere.
After waking up from this world, Chen Nongmo, who had lived as an orphan for more than 20 years, suddenly had parents, who were still as doting as ever.
She thought that if they continued to get along with each other, she would definitely develop a dependence and affection for them.
Unfortunately, we only stayed together for about a week in total.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the most familiar strangers.
So when the call was connected and I heard the distorted voice from thousands of miles away, the sense of strangeness became even stronger.
At the beginning, Chen Nongmo mostly listened and occasionally expressed concern for his parents.
But gradually, the strangeness brought by time was stripped away little by little during the conversation. She couldn't help but smile and tell her parents about Qiuhua's mother, Zong's father, and the various good things her brothers had done to her. The girl spoke softly, but with obvious joy, and Chen Demao and Ji Mo on the other end of the phone looked full of love. The so-called ideological and political class for half a year was much more tormenting than they revealed.
Chen Demao thought he was a man of strong character, and Ji Mo had also experienced the ups and downs before liberation.
But in just half a year, due to exhaustion, the couple, who used to look several years younger than their actual age, already had silver hair on their temples, and even the fine lines on their faces deepened a lot.
Ji Mo leaned close to her husband, listening to her daughter's vivid descriptions of interesting things. At this moment, she was absolutely sure that Yu Yu was really well.
There has never been a moment so certain!
Thinking of the countless times she was afraid that her child's illness would recur and how she was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night, Ji Mo wiped her red and swollen eyes again, wiped away the uncontrollable tears, took a few deep breaths, adjusted her voice, took the phone from her husband, and explained to her daughter: "Yes, you still live in your mother Qiuhua's house. The climate here with your parents is not good, and it is not convenient for school. Doesn't Yuyu have to go to high school? Why don't you continue to study in high school first? By then you will be 18 years old and an adult, and you can ask your eldest brother to accompany you over."
