Before she could think about it, she heard the voice of a middle-aged man, mixed with surprise.
"Not bad, kid! You've grown taller and become much stronger!"
Village chief Zhang Wende patted Zhang Sinian on the shoulder and praised him.
"Uncle De, how are my sister and mother?"
Zhang Sinian nodded and changed the subject. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over.
He hasn't been home for more than half a year and doesn't know what the situation is like at home.
The main reason why I joined the army without hesitation was to find my missing father.
He really couldn't bear to see his mother looking so sad and depressed all day long.
And my younger sister really needs her father as a relative.
Every time his fellow villagers scolded him as a fatherless wild child, he would clench his fists and silently swear in his heart that he must find his father.
It's been more than three years, and there's still no news.
During this period, he took on many dangerous missions, even disregarding his life.
The purpose is to find him as soon as possible, even if it is just to get a little information.
It’s a pity that after so long, there is still no news.
"Your mom? Is she doing okay? It's just your grandma and your uncle's family. It's hard to explain in a few words. Let's talk about it when we get back!"
Zhang Wende took the cigarette and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
However, there was no mention of his sister Zhang Xinxin's injury.
It's not that he doesn't want to talk about it, but it's pointless to talk about these family matters now. Zhang Wende has no way to criticize whether they are right or wrong.
Not to mention, Zhang Tiemao's house has been a mess recently.
Zhang Tiemao and his wife Yu Lanhua, as well as Zhang Baoguo, Lihua and their eldest son Zhang Qing, were all paralyzed.
Lying there, unable to speak or move, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating were all problems.
Now only Zhang Baoguo’s youngest son Zhang Yong is left in the family, and he is still a normal person.
But I heard that he was crying all day long and saying that he was in pain.
I went to the old village doctor several times, but they couldn't figure out what was wrong.
The old village doctor is not an old god.
How could a mortal with the naked eye see that Zhang Xinxin had inserted a hair-thin steel needle into his body?
He just said that he might be tired or caught a cold, and that he would be fine after drinking some herbal medicine in a few days.
But the pain became more and more severe as he waited. He screamed in pain and rolled around on the ground.
Unable to bear the torture, Zhang Yong went to the hospital for another check-up and spent several dollars, but the answer was still nothing.
This is strange. How can I feel pain all over my body when I'm not sick? Is the pain so severe that it can kill me?
He really didn't understand but had no choice but to grit his teeth and bear it.
In addition, there are five paralyzed patients at home who need to be taken care of. Besides the pain, he is extremely busy and has no time to rest.
Although the villagers also suspected how this family could become paralyzed and sick overnight.
But unfortunately, that night, most people saw lightning appearing out of nowhere.
Most people believe that this family has committed many evil things and is suffering retribution or being possessed by evil spirits.
In this day and age, the consequences of superstition are very serious.
If people find out, they will be dragged away for criticism. If someone has nothing better to do and speaks out, it will just be something they think about in their heart.
I was trembling with fear just thinking about it, let alone having anything to do with them.
The villagers just talked about it, but no one came to help, as they were afraid of being involved with their family and bringing bad luck.
The family was too busy to bother Zhang Xinxin and her daughter.
The mother and daughter had some free time.
But even if he comes, she is not afraid. With thunder and lightning in my hands, I have the power to rule the world, and it is no joke.
…………
Zhang Sinian was not surprised after hearing the tone of the old village chief.
His grandmother and uncle's family are not easy to deal with and they like to find trouble.
Before he left, his family was often bullied, but he always fought back.
Now that he is away from home all year round, they will definitely become more arrogant. Oh! I wonder how my mother and sister are doing! He sighed in his heart.
Sometimes, in life, relatives are really worse than strangers.
After this mission is over, he plans to find a way to get a bigger house and try to move his mother and sister in.
Out of sight, out of mind. Now we live in the same village and are blood relatives. If there is a conflict, will it be a fight to the death?
As a soldier, his professional ethics do not allow him to do so.
Thinking of this, he turned around and quickly glanced at Ruan Mengmeng.
Ruan Mengmeng sensed something and turned her head, but found nothing.
Could it be that her feelings were wrong? She fell into self-doubt...
The two talked for a while, and then Zhang Wende came over with a notebook in his hand.
Glancing at everyone, he cleared his throat and read from the notebook;
"Li Shuai!"
"arrive!"
Li Shuai quickly replied.
"Zhu Xiaomao!"
“Here I am!”
Zhu Xiaomao raised his hand and responded.
"Wang Junwei!"
"exist!"
"Jiang Feipeng!"
"arrive!"
“…………….”
“……………….”
After the boys were finished reading, it was the girls' turn. After they had finished reading, the village chief put away the notebook and waved his hand.
"Okay, everyone's here! Put all your luggage on the oxcart and get ready to go back to the team!"
After the words fell, several people quickly did as the village chief asked.
Even the arrogant Xiao Yan was exceptionally obedient.
We were all assigned to the same place and became revolutionary comrades in the future.
Zhu Xiaomao and three other boys hurriedly helped the female educated youth move their luggage onto the ox cart.
"Uncle Village Chief, I still have some luggage at the post office. Can I spare you a moment? I'll go get the package. It'll be quick!"
Xia Xiaojing, carrying a small bag on her back, looked at Zhang Wende and asked.
This was exactly what Ruan Mengmeng wanted to say, but Xia Xiaojing said it first.
“I want to go too…!”
"And me..."
“I, I, I…”
Zhu Xiaomao and Wang Junwei also raised their hands.
"Why not? Go ahead! Don't be in a hurry, I'll be waiting for you!"
"Oh right! The post office is just around the corner. Hurry up and go!"
These children from the city are all well-dressed and look clean. They must be the apple of their parents' eyes at home.
If it weren't for the situation, who would be willing to travel so far away and come to their remote rural area!
It is not easy for him to be tolerant, no matter how hard he tries, alas!
After the words fell, several people expressed their gratitude;
"Thank you, village chief uncle!"
The village chief didn't say anything else, just waved his hand, signaling them to go quickly.
Ruan Mengmeng and the other four were about to leave in a hurry. Zhang Sinian, who was behind them, quickly told Tian Kai and followed them.
I've always wanted to help, but I never had the chance and the other party had too little luggage, so I couldn't use him. I should be able to use him this time!
Seeing Zhang Sinian following them, the five people were a little confused. They didn't know why this guy followed them.
