Chapter 430 I Can't Bear to Part with You
After understanding the meaning above, Wei Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Don't take this moment too seriously. It's only a few years later. At your age, being promoted now might not be a good thing for you."
Song Lubai felt as if a sharp cat claw was scratching at her heart. After hearing what Wei Zhao said, she felt a little better. Just as she was about to say something to comfort him, Wei Yang looked at her first, his eyes full of apology.
When rumors first came out, he thought he could finally take her to the city to live in a brick house. But if they went to other farms, he estimated that their living conditions would be worse than they were in the 16th Regiment.
Song Lubai smiled and said, "Don't be upset. The leader talked to you because he was afraid you would have any complaints. This shows how much he values you. Like I said, there will be other opportunities in the future. You are still young. Let's work hard and there's no need to rush."
Wei Yang understood the reasoning behind it all, and he didn't even show any resistance in front of his superiors. He only felt guilty that Song Lubai and her child were going to go with him to another poor place.
Once back in the house, Wei Yang grabbed her hand and said, "How about this, you take the children into the city. I'm only going to a few neighboring communities. I'll visit you whenever I have time."
Song Lubai snorted, "You want me to take care of the child by myself? So you can shirk your responsibilities?"
She wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "Don't feel sorry for me. My child and I haven't suffered much in the 16th Regiment these past few years. But if we go to the new regiment, we should live in a brick house if possible."
No matter how many times you patch up a mud-brick house, it will still leak. Although it doesn't rain often, every time it rains, you don't have enough pots and pans to use.
On rainy days, the sound of raindrops pattering in bowls and basins lingers even in my dreams.
As the two were talking while snuggling together, the door was pushed open from the outside by their two daughters.
Since last year, my two daughters have stopped sleeping in the same bed with them.
Although the room wasn't very big, it could fit two beds. Even though his daughters were young, they still needed privacy, so Wei Yang put curtains over their beds. When the curtains were drawn, it created a closed space.
"Mom, Dad, didn't Grandma say during the New Year that there are lots of mushrooms and rabbits to catch in their area in the fall? You said you'd take us there. When can we go together?"
In recent years, Zhang Cui has brought her two brothers to visit every year during the Spring Festival. The two brothers always talk about what fun things there are to do in their area, and the two sisters are eager to go there. Unfortunately, Song Lubai and Wei Yang are always too busy to visit.
Looking at his two daughters' expectant faces, Wei Yang said, "In half a month, we'll go visit your maternal grandmother for a few days."
Once the official transfer order comes through and the handover is complete, he can take his family to visit relatives. After the visit, he can start a new life in the next regiment.
When the two daughters were happy, Wei Yang asked Song Lubai, "Why don't we go back to the capital first this time and take the children back to see you? My sister and the others have been wanting to see you for a long time."
Although she sends photos back home every year, Song Lubai has not yet met Wei Yang's family.
To be honest, Song Lubai's expectations for Wei Yang's family were not as high as her expectations for the capital city itself; she just wanted to know what the capital was like.
"If time allows, let's go. You must miss your sister and the others too."
Wei Yang calculated that this trip would require at least forty days of leave, and he needed to submit a report to his superiors.
With his understanding wife and innocent daughters, Wei Yang's last trace of discomfort disappeared.
Feng Gang is currently riding high.
Although he had moved out of his home and had become a loner, and although Yang Xiu'e still ignored him, he was still riding high.
Rumors also circulated within the organization that Feng Gang was to be transferred to the division headquarters and Wei Yang was to go to another regiment.
Privately, Zhao Hongying asked Song Lubai if it was true.
Song Lubai smiled and asked in return, "Do you hope it's true or false?"
Zhao Hongying said hurriedly, "I definitely hope it's fake. Either go up or stay here, it's better than going to other farms. The farms around here are all poorer than us. If you go with Wei Yang, life won't be as good as it is now. I can't bear to part with you."
Song Lubai smiled and said, "I thought you wanted to become the group leader after I left."
Zhao Hongying was speechless.
"What are you saying? With Sister Xiu'e there to hold things up, how could I possibly become the team leader? I really don't want you to leave."
The sincerity in those words, "I can't bear to say it," made Song Lubai's heart ache a little.
"You're not dead, we'll see each other again in the future, don't be sad."
This attempt at comfort felt dry and unconvincing, offering no real solace to Zhao Hongying.
Zhao Hongying was truly heartbroken that her good friend, mentor, and supporter was leaving.
Feng Gang, feeling quite pleased with himself, went home today.
He came to tell Yang Xiu'e the good news that he was going to be transferred to the division headquarters.
"We'll be able to enter the city in about a month. Use this time to pack your things and get ready."
Yang Xiu'e glanced at him sideways and said, "You can go by yourself. I work here, so I won't go."
The children are all grown up and no longer need constant care, so their separation won't affect them much. She feels relieved that they won't live in the same place anymore.
Feng Gang was dumbfounded.
Does this silly woman even know what good thing has just happened to them?
He yelled, "Are you fucking out of your mind...?"
The moment he opened his mouth to swear, he received a slap from Yang Xiu'e.
"You're the one who's fucking out of your mind!"
"Get out of here right now! I'll work hard in the 16th Regiment. If you keep causing trouble, I'll make sure you don't get promoted and ruin your plans!"
Feng Gang, caught off guard, didn't dare retaliate even after being slapped in the face.
He could only say with a resentful look, "Fine, you're just sitting there doing nothing, unwilling to come with me. If it weren't for... if it weren't for... I really want to divorce you!"
Yang Xiu'e is no longer the naive Yang Xiu'e she used to be; she understood what he meant.
"Don't think too highly of yourself. You might not be a latrine, you might be shit. So what if we get a divorce? I can survive even after the divorce."
Yang Xiu'e said these words with great satisfaction.
She used to be a housewife who knew nothing. She listened to whatever Feng Gang said. Although her life was peaceful, she would suffer.
But things are different now. She's no longer afraid of Feng Gang making her suffer, nor is she afraid of divorce.
Feng Gang was furious but there was nothing he could do.
He can't get a divorce, otherwise it will have a bad impact on him.
Seeing that Feng Gang was still standing there and wouldn't leave, Yang Xiu'e glanced at him sideways and said, "Do I have to ask you to leave?"
She made a move to grab a broom, and Feng Gang quickly left the courtyard.
Yang Xiu'e felt it was good that Feng Gang left the 16th Regiment, and as for the divorce, it didn't mean much to her.
She's already this age, and whether she gets divorced or not, life will still be the same. She doesn't want to find someone else, so let it be.
It was disgusting, but Feng Gang's status and position also provided her with a kind of security.
