Originally, Xia Linsheng was about to go to sleep when he suddenly thought of something and said:
"By the way, if you need to write a letter, you still have to send it to the central government for review before sending it out. I know you haven't written back in a while, and I'm afraid our parents will worry about you."
Yu Sui rested her head on Xia Linsheng's arm:
"It's been a while since I last wrote. I couldn't send during the earthquake, and when it was over and I wanted to, there was another major incident, saying I couldn't send it again. I could have sent it to the government for review, but I don't really like that approach, so I simply didn't write. I'll wait until everything is more stable. When I came here, I told my parents that we're on the border and can't write whenever we want. Three months without sending is normal, so they shouldn't worry. Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it myself. You just need to pay attention to your own safety."
"Wife, you are really, really good. Just for this point, you are always understanding. Oh, I am so happy!" Xia Linsheng hugged Yu Sui tighter and fell asleep peacefully.
Yu Sui didn't know that several people in her hometown were causing unrest.
When the earthquake happened, everything was in chaos and everyone in Yujiawan was busy taking care of themselves. It wasn't a big deal that Yu Sui didn't write back.
Later, when the leader Xi Jinping passed away, Yujiawan was in a panic. Sun Yuying and Yu Haichao followed the other members in mourning and panicking. They thought Yu Sui was probably in the same boat and that it was impossible for him to write a letter at this critical moment, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
Besides, my daughter had said when she was young that the place was too far away from Yujiawan and was on the border. It was much more complicated than a small mountain village like theirs, so it was understandable that they couldn't write letters often. So no one in the Yu family thought anything of it. After all, Yu Sui still wrote back a letter to report her safety after arriving in the north.
Why would we panic then?
Because Yu Qi heard from Yu Ke that Yu Sui was pregnant.
When Yu Qi heard this, he hurried home from school.
He didn't dare to disturb his parents at first, and quietly knocked on Yu Hemiao's window.
It was dark when someone knocked on the window. Yu Hemiao was so frightened that he didn't dare to answer. It was not until Yu Qi called out that Yu Hemiao opened the window: "Little brother, why are you here? Why are you back? Why don't you come in? I was so scared!"
Yu Qi raised her finger and said, "Big sister, please keep your voice down. I have something to tell you. Come out first."
Seeing his brother's mysterious look and then looking at the two children who had just fallen asleep, Yu Hemiao had no choice but to close the door quietly and go out to talk.
Yu Qi paced in the alley, looking anxious.
Yu Hemiao walked over and whispered softly, "Little brother, did something happen to you at school?"
Yu Qi didn't reply for a moment, but just continued pacing.
This pace makes people feel a little uneasy.
Yu Hemiao held him back: "What are you talking about? If you have any problem, just tell your eldest sister. Your second sister even said this when she went out. If it can be solved with money, it's not a problem. If you have any problem, just tell us. Your eldest and second sisters will support you!"
When Yu Qi heard this, her nose felt sore and her voice became a little dull: "Sister, I suspect that Second Sister has done something wrong."
"What? What are you talking about?" Yu Hemiao said in surprise.
"Sister, keep your voice down. I ran into Yu Ke on the street the other day. I hadn't seen him in ages. When he saw me, he was stunned for a moment, then he grabbed me and said, 'Hey, your second sister died out there, didn't you go see?' When I heard that, I wanted to beat him up. Look, he's torn my clothes!"
Yu Qi brought up his coat, showed it to Yu Hemiao, and continued:
"I said, 'I told you to stop talking nonsense! I'll beat you to death!' I was furious and hit him hard. He fought back, but strangely, he didn't say anything back. I met him while eating noodles outside. My classmate and I were still together, and he was afraid something might happen, so he forcibly pulled me away. When I got to school, the more I thought about it, the more I thought it was wrong, so I went out to look for him again. I searched the streets for three or four hours before I found him. I grabbed him by the collar and asked him where he had heard that. He wouldn't say anything at first, but then I... I started crying!"
When Yu Qi said this, his voice choked.
Yu Hemiao reached out and grabbed his arm. "Nonsense! He's talking nonsense! Why would you believe him? From childhood to adulthood, he's just a scoundrel who can't do anything. Why would you believe him?"
"Sister, I didn't want to believe him either, but later, he said he saw it in the newspaper. Look." Yu Qi cried as he fumbled to take out an old newspaper from his pocket.
Yu Hemiao rushed over to take a look, but what could he see in the middle of the night?
Yu Hemiao was about to go into the house with the newspaper, but Yu Qi stopped her:
"Sister, don't go in yet. What if Mother hears? I know you won't believe it, and I don't either. But I've read it so many times that I can recite it by heart. It says that someone fell into the river at the place where our second sister went, and one person is missing. Then the family issued a missing person notice. It said that the missing person's name is Yu Sui, and she was wearing such and such clothes and pants when she disappeared. Most importantly, it also said that if anyone knows her whereabouts, please notify the ** group Xia Linshengzhi!"
Yu Hemiao clutched the newspaper and trembled, "Impossible, impossible, no way. Oh, your second sister can swim. She can swim, she can swim!"
Yu Qi said nothing, lowered his head and looked at her.
Yu Hemiao muttered for a while, then suddenly became angry again: "No, that's impossible. I don't think it's possible. How could Yu Ke have a newspaper? Is he the kind of person who reads newspapers?"
Yu Qi: "I said that too. He said when he bought the fried dough sticks, they wrapped them and handed them to him."
Yu Hemiao: "Then...then how long has this been going on? Why didn't he tell me before?"
"He didn't say that. But you know, he's a second-rate guy who's never home. He probably never did anything."
"I... I still don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Yu Hemiao stomped his feet vigorously as if to encourage himself.
Yu Qi: "I don't believe it either! But I came back to ask you, has your second sister written back to you these days? If she has, then it can't be true!"
"...No. But, but your second sister said that this is the border, so it's normal even if you haven't written for three months." Yu Hemiao's voice was as soft as a mosquito, as if if she spoke more softly, the feelings would not be taken seriously.
Yu Qi punched the wall. "That won't do! I need to be sure. Do you have Xia Linsheng's phone number?"
Yu Hemiao: "No. Your second sister said that not everyone can call or answer the military district phone."
"Sister, I'm going to go find her! I can't sleep without seeing her in person!"
"But how are you going to get there?"
"The train! I'll go find it!"
Yu Hemiao couldn't help but stamp her feet. "How are you going to take the train without a letter of introduction? Are you taking it secretly? Isn't this ridiculous? Are you going to make me worry to death?"
