Chapter 234 Your mother, I'm afraid it won't work

The winter vacation is only thirty days in total.

Going to the border or returning to her hometown both require a long train ride, so Su Mei can only choose one.

She also can't take a plane like Huo Jianguo.

At that time, you couldn't just take a plane whenever you wanted. You needed a certificate from your unit to take a plane. Only cadres at the county and regiment level and above were eligible to board a plane.

Others rarely have the opportunity to fly.

Su Mei missed Huo Jianguo very much.

But grandpa is getting old, and she sees him less and less each time, so she can't bear to go back to see him.

Su Mei hesitated for a whole month and had not made a decision on whether to meet Huo Jianguo or return to her hometown.

When she couldn't think of the result, she thought of asking Huo Jianguo for his opinion. However, before she asked, Huo Jianguo flew to Yanjing again three days before her winter vacation.

Huo Jianguo told Su Mei that he wanted to visit her before the Chinese New Year. He said:

"Wife, I'm here to celebrate the New Year with you in advance."

Since he was here to spend the New Year with Su Mei in advance, the implication was that he wanted Su Mei to go back to her hometown after the holiday.

Su Mei felt a pang of sadness when she saw Huo Jianguo squeezing out time to come see her and thought about how he would be spending the year alone in the frontier.

With tears in her eyes, she leaned into Huo Jianguo's arms and talked to him:

"If you say you want me to go, I won't even go to the last few days of class and will go with you. Why don't you let me go with you?"

"We have a long time to live together, but Grandpa, I only see him once a year. How many more times can I see him in this life? He is 73 years old this year, right?" After Huo Jianguo finished speaking, he kissed the corner of Su Mei's eyebrow reluctantly.

Huo Jianguo naturally couldn't bear to part with Su Mei, but whenever he did anything, the first person he considered would never be himself.

He always does this.

"You always consider everything for others, why don't you think about yourself?" Su Mei hugged Huo Jianguo's waist and spoke to him in a low voice.

"Why didn't I think about it? I did think about it. I missed you. Didn't I come here specially to see you?"

........

Su Mei was deeply moved by Huo Jianguo's thoughtfulness.

She had been in trouble for so long and had never told Huo Jianguo about it, but he was so considerate and took her difficulties into consideration, and did not give her the opportunity to embarrass herself.

Just like last time, Huo Jianguo only had three days of vacation.

He took these three days out of his monthly vacation.

The two were inseparable after they met. They were as close as glue for two days, but then they had to face separation.

This time, Su Mei used the weekend time to learn how to weave scarves from Li Shufen. She gave Huo Jianguo a second gift...a long scarf she had woven herself.

After putting the scarf around Huo Jianguo's neck, Su Mei was about to send him to the airport again. The two were reluctant to part, but had to face the farewell.

The atmosphere quickly changed from joy at meeting each other to sadness that was thick in the air.

But this time, Huo Jianguo failed to leave.

Because just when he got dressed and was about to go out with Su Mei, Qin Fang drove to the yard that Su Mei bought.

It was said that Qin Zhengting's home received a call from Huo Jianguo's troops.

Huo Jianguo's hometown sent a telegram to Huo Jianguo, saying that Huo Jianguo's mother was critically ill and asked Huo Jianguo to return as soon as possible.

It happened that Huo Jianguo came to Yanjing, and it was Chen Yilon who called the Qin family and was able to convey the news of Liu Cuiyun's critical illness to Qin Zhengting.

Then Qin Zhengting let Qin Fang drive the car and hurried over to inform Huo Jianguo about the matter.

Qin Fang arrived at the perfect time. If he had come a few minutes later, Huo Jianguo would have already gone to the airport.

In this way, even if Huo Jianguo had no plans to return to his hometown, he had to go back.

It just so happened that Su Mei's school was on holiday, so she packed her things immediately, got in Qin Fang's car, and went to the airport with Huo Jianguo.

She herself was not qualified to fly, but with Huo Jianguo, Su Mei also had the opportunity to fly.

The two boarded the plane in a hurry without any preparation.

Huo Jianguo looked very heavy.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Liu Cuiyun's various behaviors, Liu Cuiyun was his mother after all. Liu Cuiyun was critically ill, and he couldn't help but be anxious.

Although Su Mei didn't feel anything about this matter, her heart still tightened when she saw Huo Jianguo was upset. She was very tactful and didn't disturb Huo Jianguo along the way.

The two took a few hours' flight and arrived at the airport in the provincial capital.

After getting off the plane, Huo Jianguo went directly to the station, booked a bus, and hurried to the county town.

The telegram said that Liu Cuiyun was being treated in the county hospital, but there was no overdraft in the telegram as to the specific situation. Huo Jianguo was extremely anxious and could only rush to the county hospital as quickly as possible.

When the couple arrived at the county hospital, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening. They found Huo Jiandang and Huo Fugui outside the emergency room.

There were only two men in the house guarding outside the emergency room.

When Huo Jianguo arrived, Huo Fugui was smoking a dry cigarette. When he saw Huo Jianguo coming up the stairs, Huo Fugui put down the cigarette in his hand, looked at Huo Jianguo, sighed, and said:

"Third brother, you're back? I'm afraid your mother is not doing well."
