A mother's intuition told her time and again that her son was safe and sound.
Over the years, the couple has been working at the base, and due to the secrecy involved, many things are not very convenient. They can only entrust Xie Wanying to deliver some things to Shu Ying's family during holidays.
Xie Wenyuan gently patted her shoulder with one hand, "The children will be fine. Don't you know Zhiyan's abilities? I just don't know how Shuying is doing. Wanying hasn't written to us recently either. We have always owed the children too much."
Fortunately, his two children are both well-behaved and obedient.
However, they couldn't get in touch with Shu Ying, and having heard about the recent crackdown on capitalists, Xie Wenyuan couldn't help but feel worried.
To maintain secrecy, they were not allowed to write letters or make phone calls until a certain phase of the project was completed.
Huang Meiling's eyes reddened, but she shook her head in the end. "When we retire, we'll have more time to spend with our children. But I don't know if we'll be able to put down these machines by then."
They care deeply about their own families, but they also cannot let go of the development of their motherland.
Everyone here has their own family. Only when millions of people come together can we build the future of our motherland.
There will always be some who have to sacrifice, but they are fortunate enough to be part of that sacrifice.
But whenever Huang Meiling thinks of her child, it feels like a knife is twisting in her heart.
“I am not a good mother. I am never there for my children when they need me the most.”
She felt guilty.
She also thought that she couldn't offer Shuying any help either. In an ordinary family, she could at least cook and do laundry for her daughter-in-law.
However, they never saw their daughter-in-law again after Xie Zhiyan got married.
Xie Wenyuan carefully collected the watermelon rinds on the ground and put them in a bag. "Alright, let's not think about these sad things anymore. Things will get better in the future. We're being sentimental here now, but who knows, maybe the children will be healthy and happy."
He threw the trash into the trash can, reached out a hand, and pulled Huang Meiling up from the ground.
"I'll go wash my hands first, you rest a bit more, and then we'll go together to contact the military again. What if we get news about the children this time?"
Huang Meiling took a deep breath. "Go."
As Xie Wenyuan emerged from the restroom, he shook the water off his hands and his gaze was drawn to a newspaper that someone had casually placed on the bulletin board.
Crack down on capitalist practices and liberate farmers!
The eye-catching headline in the newspaper made Xie Wenyuan frown.
"I didn't expect the situation outside to be so severe now. The Shu family will inevitably be affected. We need to contact Shu Ying as soon as possible to find out about her situation."
