Qin Siyue greeted with a smile: "Brother Wei!"
He turned his head and glanced at Wang Zhiqiang beside him, but was stunned for a moment, trying to keep himself calm: "Brother Wang!"
Wei Xu's eyes flashed as he discovered that the little girl whom he hadn't seen for a few months had become more beautiful.
Although it still only reached his armpits, he could see that she had grown taller. Her skin was no longer as dry and dark as before, but now white and tender.
Even the top of his head was no longer a boiled egg. Although he was wearing a hat, black marks could be seen through the gaps.
"How are you doing recently?" I haven't received any letters from Qingshan Brigade for two or three months. I really don't know how things are going here.
Qin Siyue smiled and nodded: "Not bad. Why is Brother Wei back? How long will you stay?"
Wei Xu's eyes flashed with an emotion she couldn't understand, and his voice was low and calm: "One or two months, I can't say for sure."
Qin Siyue said "hmm" and said, "Brother Wei and Brother Wang, please go to my grandmother's house and sit for a while. I'll go to the house and clean up."
"No, we can clean it up ourselves."
"That won't work. There's nothing in the room. Just...listen to me and go find my mother."
Wei Xu smiled: "Okay!"
I turned around and said to the driver, "Thank you for your hard work, we will take care of the rest."
The man nodded, got out of the car and took out their luggage. Daya and Erya hurried forward, picked up the two packages, and looked at Wang Zhiqiang curiously.
Qin Siyue waved: "Comrade, thank you for your hard work in sending the two brothers back. It's cold and the roads are slippery. Go home and rest for a while before going back."
The man smiled and said: "It's getting dark. I have to go back early to report to my leader."
Qin Siyue didn't force them. He waited until the car was out of sight before leading the two of them back.
While chatting on the way, I learned that the two men had just come back from the battlefield in the south and came back to recuperate.
Qin Siyue sighed, feeling a dull pain in his heart.
I had only read a few words about it in history books before, but now that I am in the midst of it, I understand how difficult it is to become a strong country.
The group was very silent. As they walked, Qin Siyue and Wei Xu fell behind.
"Sister Siyue, thank you so much for sending me so many precious medicines. Because of those medicines, Zhiqiang and I were able to survive, and many other comrades also survived."
Qin Siyue nodded: "I should send more." She didn't know that while she was living a peaceful life, soldiers in the distance were carrying heavy burdens and moving forward.
Wei Xu smiled and raised his hand to rub her hat. "Medicine is not that easy to come by. That small bottle must have taken a lot of effort from my uncle."
Qin Siyue didn't say anything, thinking to himself, "It's not so bad. In the future, you can get it with just a little effort. But now, it's really difficult."
I looked up and found that Wei Xu's expression was very gentle. It was completely different from the tough expression when we first met.
Perhaps the war tempered his character and made him more patient with people, things and objects.
"Although we achieved a complete victory in this war, many of our brothers sacrificed their lives on the border. Even Zhiqiang almost..."
When he mentioned these things, his eyes reddened, but he tried hard not to cry.
Qin Siyue looked up at the sky, which was dark without a single star, but he still consoled himself: "The motherland and the people will remember their contributions. They are heroes, the greatest existence."
Wei Xu nodded and strode towards the Qin family's old house.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard Qian Guihua's loud voice shouting, "What? That bastard actually kicked you out? Damn it, he has no conscience at all!
Don't be afraid, kid. We in the Qingshan Brigade are all good people. Wait, I'll go find the brigade leader, and the strong laborers in our village will come to your house to seek justice for you!
Chen Yunwei held the old lady tightly and said, "Don't be anxious, mother. Listen to what Xiao Wang has to say."
"Grandma Qin, I've severed all ties with that family. I'm just here with the battalion commander to recuperate."
Qin Siyue looked at Wei Xu in surprise, wondering if he got promoted so quickly?
But it's also true that after experiencing life and death, it's normal to grow faster.
Chen Yunwei glanced at the two people at the door, and her first thought was that they were such a perfect match.
He quickly pulled Wei Xu in, looked him up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was safe and sound.
I patted the other person's arm and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" But I heard a gasp.
"Auntie, don't touch the battalion commander's arm. He's injured."
Chen Yunwei was a little flustered: "I didn't use any force."
"It's okay, Third Aunt, I'll be fine in two days."
Chen Yun breathed a sigh of relief and let the two of them into the house to warm up.
He asked Daya to get a basin of hot water for the two of them to wash their faces, and asked Qin Siyue to go to the kitchen to help the old lady cook.
"Big Brother, please go to the Wei family to clean up. Also, please bring a cart of firewood over."
Qin Jiandang and Qin Jianjun agreed, called Qin Zheng, Qin Rong and Erya, and left.
Chen Yunwei was worried that the two would feel uncomfortable, so she took out some peach cakes from the cupboard and said, "Eat something to fill your stomach first, the meal will be ready soon."
Wang Zhiqiang was very reserved and waved with his good hand: "No, no, you're too polite."
But my stomach started to rumble.
Chen Yun sighed slightly, and caught a glimpse of the hand that was wrapped into a fist with gauze and stained with dark red blood. Her heart ached.
Smiling, he asked, "How about some malted milk or powdered milk? Don't be shy, just like at home. Your third uncle works for a transport team now, and our family's conditions are much better than before."
Wang Zhiqiang glanced at Wei Xu helplessly, and when he saw Wei Xu nod, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Hey, why are you being so polite?"
He took out two enamel jars from the enamel plate and used a spoon to scoop several spoonfuls of milk powder from the milk powder can.
Wang Zhiqiang shouted "Enough, enough", but Chen Yunwei did not stop.
"It's too little and tasteless. Don't worry, we have more at home. Drink as much as you can and eat more nutritious food, so you can get better faster."
Only after seven or eight spoonfuls of powder had been put into each enamel jar and piled into a small hill did Chen Yunwei stop, dissolve it with warm water, and place the cup in front of the two people.
Wang Zhiqiang smelled the sweet smell of milk powder and couldn't help crying, tears falling down his face.
The strength he had pretended to be all the way to the end fell apart at this moment. Like a wronged child, he went to his aunt and cried, saying that his mother didn't want him anymore.
Chen Yunwei was also distressed and wiped Wang Zhiqiang's tears with red eyes. She also said: "Don't be afraid, the Qin family will be your home from now on."
In the kitchen, the old lady heard the suppressed crying in the house and sighed.
He hardened his heart and took out a large piece of bacon from the cupboard: "Let's fry it all and let the two children have some meat."
Qin Siyue chuckled: "Grandma, you are so generous!"
As he spoke, he sliced the bacon skillfully and made a dish of stir-fried bacon with bamboo shoots.
In addition, there are shredded potatoes with vinegar, fried vermicelli with bean sprouts, fried eggs with leeks, and cabbage and tofu soup.
The staple food was large steamed buns and white rice, and two large bowls were prepared, which made the old lady feel distressed. She kept saying that they were wasting things.
Qin Siyue knew that her grandmother was a good housekeeper, so she whispered, "Don't worry, Grandma. Brother Wei gave me ten yuan for food on the way."
