"How did you get so dirty? Why didn't you even tell me to be more careful...!"
She patted the dirt off Zhang Wende's body and complained;
"Oh, I wasn't paying attention while working, I rubbed it!
Oh, Xiaoli said someone came home? Is it them? ...”
Zhang Wende casually explained, then leaned closer to Su Juhua, made eye contact, and asked in a low voice;
"Oh! ...Damn old man! What are you doing so close? You scared me! ...
Weiguo, that's Weiguo boy! Don't you recognize him? Really...! "
Zhang Wende was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully for a while and said in surprise;
"What? Weiguo? Isn't that Uncle Mao's youngest son?"
"Keep your voice down, you're almost deafening me!"
Su Juhua glared at him and was a little speechless;
"It's him! And his wife and children...!"
Su Juhua finally added in a low voice;
Seeing that it was the village chief who came back, Zhang Weiguo quickly stood up and handed him a cigarette;
“Brother Dawen…”
Zhang Wende took the cigarette, patted Zhang Weiguo on the shoulder and sighed;
"Hey! Brother Weiguo has changed! I almost didn't recognize him!"
"I haven't been back for many years! The village has changed a lot..."
Zhang Weiguo followed with a sigh;
"Is there something wrong with you?"
Zhang Wende was an old and shrewd man. Seeing Zhang Weiguo coming back with his family, he knew something big must have happened in the army.
Without wasting any time, Zhang Wende went straight to the point and asked;
Zhang Weiguo was pressed for time and didn't want to waste it, so he first settled his wife and children and would deal with everything else after he returned.
“It’s like this…”
“……………….”
“………………..…..”
As Zhang Weiguo was narrating, Zhang Wende understood what he was saying;
The general meaning is that an order was given from above, assigning Zhang Weiguo a secret mission.
He was going on a mission, and his children and wife could not accompany him;
As for the content of the mission, Zhang Weiguo could not disclose it to others as it was a state secret.
As the village chief, Zhang Wende had more knowledge than the average person and understood his difficulties, so he didn't ask too many questions.
Zhang Weiguo's main purpose was to ask the village chief to take care of his wife and children.
The village chief is also a reasonable man, coupled with the instructions given by the fifth grandfather before his death, and his respect for soldiers;
Without even thinking about it, he agreed to Zhang Weiguo's request.
He also sold an empty yard in the village to the other party;
Why is it sold and not given away?
That’s because it’s public property, and the money from the sale goes into the public account;
Besides, he knew the moral character of Zhang Tiemao's family.
If this woman returns with her child, she will be eaten to the bone...
After arranging things for his wife and children, Zhang Weiguo left some money for Bai Rong and promised to come back soon.
He drove back to the unit overnight;
Who would have thought that he would disappear without a trace after leaving the country...
Bai Rong thought she would see her husband again after completing the mission, but she never heard from Zhang Weiguo again.
She struggled to live alone with her two children;
At first she still had some hope, but as time went on, her tears dried up and her heart died;
Knowing that Zhang Weiguo would never come back...
The higher-ups had also sent people to search for Zhang Weiguo for a long time;
As a result, after so much time, not even a hair was found, no one was found alive, and no body was found dead;
Finally, Zhang Weiguo's funeral was arranged in the name of sacrifice.
A pension was paid to Bai Rong, her mother and her two children;
Unfortunately, the next day after Yu Lanhua found out, she brought people to the house to make trouble;
To calm the storm and also for the sake of filial piety;
Bai Rong endured the heartache and helplessness, and gave half of the money to Yu Lanhua, and only then did the matter settle.
…………
People were issued notices according to sacrifice;
But in the hearts of Bai Rong, her mother and her two children, Zhang Weiguo has never died;
Bai Rong wouldn't believe it, and neither would her son Zhang Sinian.
He always believed that his father must still be alive.
Otherwise, why wasn't the body found?
Seeing his mother who was unhappy all day long, the precocious Zhang Sinian couldn't bear it;
He was determined to join the army and find his missing father.
At the age of seventeen, Zhang Sinian followed his father Zhang Weiguo's footsteps without hesitation.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her son, Bai Rong could only compromise and send her son to join the army with tears in her eyes;
After Zhang Sinian left, Zhang Baoguo's family, who had been eyeing Bai Rong and her daughter covetously, started to make trouble again;
Over the years, Yu Lanhua had often bullied Bai Rong and her daughter under the guise of filial piety.
A few times he was blocked by the village chief, but most of the time he was counterattacked by Zhang Sinian;
After experiencing this kind of thing many times, Bai Rong also changed from a gentle person to a fierce one;
Unfortunately, it can’t stop the crowd, and is overwhelmed by the word “filial piety”;
What's more, the young man Zhang Sinian is not at home now;
My mother-in-law Yu Lanhua and her family can be bullied as much as they want;
It is difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs. The village chief is too involved and all he gets in return is a word.
"What's it to you if I discipline my daughter-in-law? Don't make trouble for no reason...!"
Zhang Wende was scolded shamelessly;
No one was killed, so he couldn't intervene every time;
Everything in the house was either looted by Yu Lanhua or she was forced to give money for her retirement;
For three whole years, the mother and daughter lived in misery;
