Chapter 231
Starting from the 17th, news about the south came in like a tide.
The topic was reported in newspapers and on the radio, and was being discussed on the streets.
Xu Di tried to call Zhang Chaoyang's troops and was told that they were on a mission.
Knowing that the army had strict discipline, the old man of the Zhang family also said that Zhang Chaoyang went to the south.
Xu Di just wanted to try his luck and see if he could get some information, even just a few words.
Now, I have completely given up.
There was nothing she could do but wait.
The children didn’t know what exactly had happened. Although they were young, they could feel that something was different at home.
"Mom, is there something wrong with Dad?"
After the Chinese New Year, Nuannuan turned six years old. She knew that her father was a soldier and his job was different from that of Anjian’s father.
"Why do you ask?"
Xu Di felt that she had tried her best to adjust her state so as not to let the child notice.
"Mom has been a little sad these days and has been looking at the phone all the time."
Nuannuan couldn't describe her mother's condition, but she vaguely felt that something had happened.
"Nothing, it's just that your father didn't call home after returning to the army, and mom was a little worried."
Xu Di spoke a mixture of true and false things, afraid that he could not fool Nuan Nuan.
"Mom, don't worry. Dad might have something urgent to do. Won't they be in closed training?"
Zhang Chaoyang talked to the children about some work matters, of course, only the parts that could be discussed.
"Yeah, Mom thinks so. Maybe it's because Dad left so suddenly that Mom is a little uncomfortable. During this period, Dad was at home, and Mom became more dependent on him."
"Mom, don't worry, I'm grown up and you can rely on me."
Nuannuan stood up and straightened her body to let her mother know that she had grown up.
"Nuannuan, mom is an adult, and you are still young, there is no need to rush to grow up.
The happiest thing for your mother is that you and your sisters grow up happily. ”
Xu Di hugged Nuannuan in her arms. How could her precious daughter be so sensible?
"Mom, we are very happy. We have grandma, mom, and dad. We are happy every day."
Nuannuan hugged her mother's neck, she also wanted to be her mother's support.
"Mom, we want a hug too."
Yuanyuan pulled Tuantuan and threw themselves on their mother and sister, and the four of them hugged each other.
Grandma Qian stood at the door, looking at Xiaodi and the children, and felt inexplicably relieved.
With such a good wife and a daughter waiting for him at home, Chaoyang will definitely return safely.
In the next few days, Xu Di received many calls asking her about Zhang Chaoyang's situation and whether he had gone to the south.
There wasn't much Xu Di could say, and everyone else couldn't do much either. They could only comfort her with a few dry words, saying that Zhang Chaoyang would definitely come back safely.
Aunt Zhang's family was the first to arrive; they lived nearby and were both on vacation.
"Hello, aunt, auntie, and uncle!"
Bai Weiwei came in, greeted Grandma Qian first, and then took her three children to do handicrafts. She brought some handicraft supplies today.
“Aunt Qian, Xiao Di, if there is anything going on at home, just let me know.
We live nearby, so it's convenient to come here. ”
"I know, auntie, I will. There is nothing to do for the time being. Before Chaoyang returned to the army, he signed an agreement with the nearby Public Security Bureau and rented several rooms in the front gatehouse to the Public Security Bureau as dormitories.
In a few days, they will move in one after another. In this way, some petty thieves would not dare to come here easily. ”
Xu Di didn’t know if it was because of the fighting in the south that the people from the Public Security Bureau had not moved in yet.
“That’s good, with comrades from the Public Security Bureau coming in and out here, it’s much safer.
Xiaodi, your uncle said that judging from the international situation, what is happening in the south won’t last long.
He asked me to tell you not to worry, Chaoyang will be back soon. ”
Xu Di didn't expect that his uncle, who was devoted to studying, also had a military vision. This war really didn't last long, only about a month.
But war, even the shortest one, will result in sacrifices.
"I understand, aunt. What we can do now is to take good care of the family, ourselves and the children, and wait for Chaoyang to come back."
"That's good. School will start in a few days. You should adjust your mindset and make sure you don't fall behind in your studies.
No matter what the future holds, you must have the ability to stand on your own in society.
You have three children; they are your responsibility. ”
Xu Di understood the underlying meaning of Aunt Zhang.
Even if something happens to Zhang Chaoyang, she still has to go on with her life. Her children are still young and she has to raise them well.
"Xiao Di, your aunt is right. Chaoyang is a soldier. From the moment he put on the military uniform, he no longer completely belongs to the family.
There has to be a country before there can be a family. This has been the case since ancient times.
Let’s live a good life at home so that he can return home in triumph without any worries. ”
Grandma Qian still didn't say it. She was really old, and she couldn't be free and easy facing Chaoyang, the boy she raised.
"Grandma, aunt, I know, I will adjust myself.
No matter what happens in the future, I will protect our home.
I will take good care of grandma, Nuannuan and the other three. ”
Xu Di once thought about finding a soldier and living apart from him.
She raises the child by herself, which is a bit hard, but it gives her some peace and quiet.
However, when the time came, she still felt reluctant and sad.
In a blink of an eye, she and Zhang Chaoyang have been married for seven or eight years and have three children.
Although they actually lived together for less than a year, Zhang Chaoyang did a really good job during the time they were together.
No male chauvinism, no hands-off attitude, no accusations, no...
No one is perfect, but at this moment, all that comes to mind are the good times of the past.
My aunt and her friends stayed for a short day and left after dinner.
The next day, during the break, Xu's father and mother also came over.
"Xiao Di, did Chaoyang call back?"
"Dad, no, their army has confidentiality regulations, and there are many things that cannot be told to the family.
What about Xiaojun? Did he call back after arriving at school? ”
Xu Di called directly once, and Xiaojun reported that he was safe after arriving at school.
Xu Yong also called once and just said that he arrived safely.
“No, he called me once right after I arrived at school, saying he had arrived safely. After that, he didn’t call me again.
I don’t know whether their school will let them go to the south? ”
"Probably not. They haven't graduated yet."
In fact, Xu Di didn’t know much either. She couldn’t remember much about this history.
"I hope Chaoyang and Xiaojun are safe."
Xu's mother wanted to say something to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say.
After seeing off Mr. and Mrs. Xu, Lin Wei's family came over, as did Sister Fangfang and the others, and Zhang Chaoheng.
That day, there were always people at home from morning till night.
Xu Di received everyone very well. She received and appreciated everyone's kindness.
After a busy day, Xu Di couldn't sleep at night while lying on the kang.
She was still feeling uneasy, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
During the day, she is a strong mother and a support. At night, she wanted to be weak for once and allow herself to cry for a while.
After dawn, she will turn back into the strong and brave mother she was.
