"sorry!"
Lu Hongming's eyes were red.
The rain flowed down the brim of the hat, soaking the entire face.
"sorry?"
"Is there... anything to compare it to?"
The trembling voice contained a hint of panic amidst the doubt.
Jiang Yuzhu tightly grasped a corner of the raincoat, trying to verify the doubts in her heart.
At this time, the political commissar, division commander Liu, battalion commander Zhang, and many familiar faces all walked over with serious expressions.
"Political Commissar, where is Xu Lei?"
"He...why didn't he come back with you?" Jiang Yuzhu was visibly panicked.
"He's injured, isn't he? I...I'll go take care of him right away. I'll pack my things right away."
Jiang Yuzhu turned around and was about to go back to the house.
"Xiao Jiang!"
"Xu Lei...was injured and fell off a cliff while on a mission. It's been a week, and we...can't find him."
The political commissar didn't want to believe that Xu Lei had sacrificed himself like this.
This is his favorite disciple. If Xu Lei returns with merit this time, the position of the commander of the second regiment will be his.
But who could have thought that the person would just be gone like this.
We searched for so long but still couldn't find the person. We guess he was carried away by the river to some unknown place.
"No, you lied to me. He promised me that he would come back safely!"
"He won't break his promise."
Jiang Yuzhu shook her head desperately, this couldn't be true.
Huge tears, mixed with rain, slid down.
"Political Commissar, Division Commander, I beg you, please help me find him."
"I can't believe he just abandoned us mother and me like that. He couldn't bear to leave. You guys go look for him!"
Jiang Yuzhu tightly grasped the sleeves of the political commissar and Commander Liu.
"We promised you we would find it. Go back to your room first. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything. I'll ask your sister-in-law to come and keep you company."
The political commissar looked at Jiang Yuzhu's condition and decided to wait until after tomorrow to discuss it.
"No!"
"I'll find it myself!"
Jiang Yuzhu rushed out, but before she could take two steps, she fainted on the wet ground.
"Xiao Jiang!"
Everyone quickly carried the person into the house and called the nearest sister-in-law of the Zhang family to come and take care of him.
Soon, the political commissar's wife also came over.
Seeing the room full of men, she said, "All of you go out. It's enough for us two here. You said you are the same. Why don't you pick a time and talk to her slowly? Who can stand this!"
Even the political commissar's wife couldn't bear the news, let alone Jiang Yuzhu.
"This... How can we keep this kind of thing secret? Everyone has returned, but Xu Lei hasn't. How can we keep it secret?"
"Besides... we still have to submit the application form. Xu Lei is already in trouble. All we can do now is take good care of his family and give the pension to Jiang Yuzhu. Raising a child is expensive."
Men think about practical issues.
But women pay more attention to emotional issues.
They asked Lu Hongming to speak because Lu Hongming had the best relationship with Xu Lei.
"That's the thing, but..."
“Ouch!”
The political commissar's wife also sighed and frowned.
Looking at Jiang Yuzhu lying on the bed, and the child beside her, he was only more than three months old, just over a hundred days old.
Xu Lei is still so young and has such a bright future. Why did God...
They were talking a few days ago about waiting for Xu Lei to come back and have a meal together, but now it’s like this.
The political commissar's wife kept shaking her head.
Yuzhu is still so young and the child is too small.
What should I do?
Several men were leaning against the wall in the living room, all with unhappy expressions on their faces.
"You all should go back. It's useless to stay here. Jiang Yuzhu will only be sadder if she sees you. Suqin and I will watch over her and the child together at night."
The political commissar's wife asked all the men outside the house to leave.
"Okay, if you have any problems, just call for help. I'll stay at Xiao Zhang's house tonight." The political commissar was afraid that something might happen to Jiang Yuzhu and the two of them wouldn't be able to handle it.
"OK."
The political commissar's wife nodded. Her two sons were already that old, so it didn't matter if there was no one at home.
"Xiao Lu, you should go too." The political commissar's wife looked at Lu Hongming.
"I……"
"Let's go. You're useless here. You're a grown man, but you can't comfort anyone or take care of a child. Go back."
"Sorry to bother you, sister-in-law." It was the first time that Lu Hongming felt so powerless.
Zhang's sister-in-law and the political commissar's wife just stayed with Jiang Yuzhu.
Not long after, Jiang Yuzhu slowly woke up.
Tears fell silently.
Jiang Yuzhu buried herself in the quilt, sobbing...
The two of them looked at Jiang Yuzhu hiding in the quilt and crying, and their eyes were red.
In this family compound, I have seen many joys and sorrows, but this time is the closest to them.
Other people’s family affairs, after being heard and seen, would be forgotten, but this was not the case with Jiang Yuzhu.
They saw the affection between Xu Lei and Jiang Yuzhu.
While they envy it, they also want to protect this beauty.
The couple lived the life they both wanted.
"Yuzhu, you have to be open-minded. You still have children. You have to be strong for the sake of your children."
"Sister-in-law doesn't know what to say either. I hope you can see things more clearly."
The two men sat by the bed and comforted Jiang Yuzhu.
Woo woo woo…
The child is crying.
When Jiang Yuzhu heard her son crying, she picked up Xiao Liuliu and held him tightly in her arms.
Her whole face was buried in the child's arms.
When they saw this scene, both of them shed tears.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine now. You all can go back."
Jiang Yuzhu couldn't believe that Xu Lei was gone just like that, she wanted to wait for him to come back.
She has to raise the child well, maybe one day Xu Lei will come back.
"this……"
How could the two of them dare to leave?
"The two of us will stay with you for one night. We will sleep in that room and you can sleep with the child." The two did not dare to leave and went to another room to rest.
Seeing that the two were really worried, Jiang Yuzhu nodded and agreed.
Jiang Yuzhu held her son in her arms and coaxed him to sleep. Only when she saw the child fall asleep did she dare to show her emotions.
Staring blankly at the house full of memories.
Tears flowed down my face unconsciously.
Xu Lei, where are you?
Come back soon.
No one slept well that night.
The next day, everyone in the family compound knew that something had happened to Xu Lei.
"Hey, have you heard? Something happened to Captain Xu!"
"That's right. What a pity! She's so young. Her wife just gave birth not long ago. It's only been a hundred days."
"Counting the days, it's been over a hundred days."
"Tsk tsk, how will the orphans and widows survive?"
"How can I live? I need to find another man. Jiang Yuzhu looks like a vixen. Haven't you seen how many men are attracted to her? There will be fewer men chasing her in the future!"
"It's definitely not going to hold."
"Oh, don't dare say that. If the political commissar and the others hear it, it will be over."
Mrs. Zhang wanted to go home and take a look, but when she came out she heard these gossipers talking nonsense.
"What are you talking about?"
"Be careful or I'll tear your mouths apart!"
