It was noon, the time when people were getting off work and school, and there were still some people in the compound going home for lunch.
Hearing a loud and powerful shout, someone poked his head out of his house and looked towards the Jiang family.
Some curious children came over to watch the fun.
Jiang Yonghua looked back and smiled good-naturedly: "Let's talk inside."
Zhang Xiuying was getting excited: "No need to go in. If you have something to say, just say it here. Just give it straight!"
Jiang Yonghua looked at Zhang Xiuying, who seemed to be getting more and more excited, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll do as you say! But now it's my break time. When we get back to work at 1:30, you will come with me to the division headquarters to sign the report."
"Ah?" Zhang Xiuying was caught off guard. She had prepared a lot of words for several days and she hadn't even finished saying them yet. So it was settled like this?
Jiang Yonghua said calmly, "Did you just arrive? Are you hungry? Come in and have something to eat? We're having cabbage dumplings for lunch, I can smell the aroma."
Zhang Xiuying finally found an outlet for her pent-up excitement: "Bah, Jiang Yonghua, who wants to sit down and eat with you? I've drawn a line in the sand between me and you! People like you deserve to die! If I were to sit down and eat with you, I'd be afraid you'd poison me!"
Jiang Yonghua, who had faced death several times, no longer cared about the abuse: "The meal was cooked by your parents. If you like it, go in and eat it. If you don't want to eat it, forget it. I won't force you."
Zhang Xiuying was so angry that she jumped up and down: "I'll take them away right now!"
Jiang Yonghua smiled, shook his head, and walked into the house. As he passed by Zhang Xiuying, he said, "You let the old man and the old woman walk with you to the chemical plant? They won't have to eat, right? Go sign with me later, and I'll buy tickets to take them back to Tongcheng."
Hong Guizhen and Zhang Debao hid in the kitchen and dared not come out. They were chilled by Zhang Xiuying's behavior. How could she be even more unable to distinguish right from wrong after working for a few days?
Zhang Xiuying was so angry that her teeth were itching. She had just opened her mouth and her own parents refused to side with her. "There's no need for you to be so kind. Anyway, I'll take them away after the divorce! I'll prevent them from being corrupted by you!"
After saying that, he raised his head, cursed, and walked away quickly.
Jiang Yonghua walked into the house, shaking his head slightly. He saw his two daughters smiling at him and couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't you two get scolded?"
Jiang Yun pushed the bowl of dumplings in front of Jiang Yonghua: "Dad, she wouldn't dare to scold me!"
Jiang Lan handed over the chopsticks attentively: "With my sister here, I'm not afraid of anything."
Qiangzi said timidly: "Second uncle, my second aunt is very fierce. I am a little scared."
Jiang Yonghua looked at Jiang Yun and said, "Ask your sister how she did it."
Qiangzi muttered, "Sister Yun is even more vicious than my second aunt!"
Jiang Jun chuckled and went to the kitchen to pull his grandparents out to eat together. "Grandma, don't cry. No matter where my dad and I go, as long as we can get our feet on the ground, I will come and take you with us. I promised to support you."
Hong Guizhen cried so hard: "How can I face you with your mother making such a fuss?"
Jiang Yonghua advised, "Mom, Xiuying and I are no longer a family now that we're divorced, but you're still Xiaojun's grandmother. She's promised to support you, so you both need to stay healthy! Listen to Xiaojun. As long as you're alive, you'll find a way to live well."
If Xiaojun hadn't told him to find a way to terminate the mission before he went on the mission, he would have reported to the King of Hell long ago.
After much hardship, I returned home. Except for Xiaojun who was a little thinner, everyone else in the family, from the old to the young, seemed to be living a stress-free life.
With a daughter like this, what is there to worry about?
What happened next, although not entirely satisfactory, was smooth sailing.
The division's personnel department issued divorce certificates to Jiang Yonghua and Zhang Xiuying respectively, took back their marriage certificates, crossed them out, noted that the two were divorced, and asked them to stamp their fingerprints respectively, and then put them in Jiang Yonghua's file.
Zhang Xiuying carefully kept the divorce certificate. With this certificate, who would dare to compete with her for the chance of salary increase?
Since Hong Guizhen and Zhang Debao refused to leave the Jiang family, Zhang Xiuying packed up the fabrics and wool she had saved for years in her closet and took them away. "You're the ones who refused to leave with me, so you can treat Jiang like a treasure. Don't blame me for being ruthless later. I saved all this because I couldn't bear to wear or use it. If I had, I would have worn all this fabric long ago!"
Jiang Yonghua naturally would not stop him.
Jiang Yun had no objections and whispered to Jiang Lan, "The colors of these fabrics and yarns are really earthy. If she wants them, just let her take them all. It's no big deal."
At night, Zhang Jinbao and Shuiyun rushed over and took Zhang Debao and Hong Guizhen away. Qiangzi and his luggage would be taken away together the next day when they came to handle Qiangzi's transfer procedures.
Jiang Yonghua was very generous: "Dabao, I haven't decided where to stay yet, so I can only take Xiaojun and Xiaolan with me. Please find a cart to take away all these furniture and the pickles that are left at home."
Shuiyun hugged Jiang Jun distressedly: "Dani'er, take all this money. Don't think it's too little. Your aunt is not very capable and can't take care of you. If you come back in the future, you can come to my place anytime. Your aunt will take care of your food and accommodation and treat you like her own daughter!"
Jiang Jun was also very touched. She hugged her aunt and cried heartily. She was afraid that her grandparents would be sad, so she didn't dare to cry in front of them.
The family who were chatting and laughing together at noon suddenly went their separate ways.
Jiang Yonghua's salary was gone after the disciplinary action was taken. Chen Zhong had a guard deliver 200 yuan to him, along with a message: "Come back in a few years when your son wants to join the army. I will do my best to help him."
In a few years, the army will have several new batches of recruits, and Jiang Yonghua's affairs will gradually be forgotten by people.
Jiang Yonghua was moved and showed the ticket he bought to the guard: "Please express my gratitude to the division commander for me. We will leave tomorrow and take a bus to Beijing."
Just like soldiers going on a camping training, the three of them, father and daughter, took their limited luggage and quietly left when there were the least people in the compound.
Chen Yuanwu didn't expect the Jiang family to leave so quickly. When he rushed back to the compound, the Jiang family's house was empty and the door was locked.
He hurried to find Chen Zhong, and the guard Xiao Ding told him: "They are on the train tonight, from Beijing to Chuncheng."
Chen Yuanwu rushed to the Beijing Railway Station without stopping.
Fortunately, he brought his student ID and officer ID, and finally managed to get on the platform before departure.
The train blew a long whistle, white smoke came out of the front of the train, and it slowly started moving.
Jiang Jun, sitting in front of the window, stared blankly at Chen Yuanwu, who appeared in front of her with sweat all over his forehead. He ran on the platform after the train had already started, waving at her and calling her name anxiously.
An inexplicable feeling of sadness and bitterness surged into Jiang Jun's heart. He suddenly lost all strength and began to cry with his face covered.
