An Hua handed Zhou Meihua a handkerchief. Zhou Meihua took it and wiped her tears.
"That was his original plan. His father asked him to join the navy, and he agreed. But when the plan came out, he changed his mind. He secretly went to school to sign up and wanted to go to the construction corps on the grassland with his classmates. His father didn't stop him, but encouraged and supported him!"
Zhou Meihua angrily spat on the ground, "Shi Weiguang is a bastard who never thinks about his children. My eldest son didn't want to join the army and wanted to go to college, but he forced him to join the army. As a result, my eldest son hated him and never came back.
Later, in order to show his filial piety, he sent the second child back to the countryside to take care of his parents. He was gone for four years. Now he wants to send the second child to the frontier. Woo woo woo woo... Whenever I think of Xiao Jiang eating wind and sand every day, my heart aches... "
As she spoke, Zhou Meihua started crying again.
An Hua patted her on the back. "Is this a done deal? Is there no room for maneuver?"
Shi Xiaojiang was probably influenced by his education. In an environment where everyone was scrambling to sign up to go to the most difficult places, an immature child would be easily infected and influenced.
Zhou Meihua shook her head. "Xiao Jiang said that the application has already been submitted. If I withdraw it, I will be accused of being unenthusiastic, and Shi Weiguang will not help..."
At this time, Shi Xiaojiang walked in from outside, carrying a schoolbag on his back, as if he had just returned from school.
When he saw Zhou Meihua, his face was filled with guilt. "Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry about me."
Zhou Meihua didn't blame Shi Xiaojiang, she only blamed Shi Weiguang as a father for not stopping her, so when facing Shi Xiaojiang, she quickly wiped the tears from her face and smiled: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's normal for a mother to worry about her son. Why are you saying sorry..."
"Mom, don't worry. I'm strong and can endure hardships. I can adapt to the frontier. You stay at home and I'll mail you specialties from the grassland when I get there."
Shi Xiaojiang spoke seriously, but it made Zhou Meihua even more sad.
This son is the most sensible, but she owes him the most.
"You..." Zhou Meihua choked up, "If you are not used to life here, write home..."
Shi Xiaojiang: "I will write a letter, and you should stop arguing with dad because of me. This is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with him."
Zhou Meihua nodded silently.
The conversation between mother and son meant that Zhou Meihua had accepted the fact.
Just after New Year’s Day, Shi Xiaojiang and his classmates cancelled their urban household registration and boarded a train to the border.
The platform was full of parents sending their children off.
The train gradually went away, and many people couldn't help but run after it for a while, until the train's speed became faster and faster...
Zhou Meihua was listless for several days. Seeing this, An Hua comforted her, "Wait until he gets a few days off, then you can find a way to get him into the army."
Zhou Meihua's eyes lit up. "How can this be possible? His household registration has even changed."
An Hua: "Everything depends on human effort. Your most important task is to convince your old Shi."
Zhou Meihua snorted, "He gets more stubborn as he gets older, just like a stone in a toilet."
Zhou Meihua took the opportunity to complain harshly about Shi Weiguang.
As they were talking, Xiao Fangfang came with a child in her arms.
Zhou Meihua smiled and said, "Fangfang is here. Wow, your little Ping An has grown quite plump. He is totally different from when he was just born. You have taken good care of him."
Xiao Fangfang smiled.
Zhou Meihua guessed that Xiao Fangfang might have something to say to An Hua, so she said goodbye.
Xiao Fangfang did have something to do.
Geng Biao's sister and niece came and said they wanted to invite their in-laws to dinner.
An Hua was naturally pleased.
It’s just right, I can also take a look at what kind of person Geng Biao’s sister is.
