Originally, he was able to receive a call from his uncle today, but Zhou Xiaoan was very happy.

Since the last time she went to the uncle to complain and didn't find anyone, the uncle would call her a week after she came back when she didn't go to class, usually on Tuesday, if he really had something, it was on Thursday.

It became almost an unwritten convention for them.

Although most of the time the two didn't say anything important, the uncle only asked her how she was doing this week and if she had encountered any difficulties that he needed to help solve.

Or don't ask anything, just listen to her babble about a bunch of small things in her life, work or study.

Occasionally, when she heard her lively, the uncle would interject a sentence such as "I did a hundred horizontal bar loops today" or "The cross-country results of the second battalion have risen to another ranking", and so on, she didn't understand anything after listening to it.

Zhou Xiaoan sometimes wonders, is it because some of the uncles she said are also half-understood and don't understand it? But no matter what, the two of them are in a state where they don't know if the other party understands or not, and they talk quite well.

Uh, well, most of the time she's talking alone.

But the uncle listened very carefully, and occasionally asked her, "Did you see that bush of Ma Lanhua blooming last time?" and "It's time to make balls in the canteen today, right?" Did you grab it? Something like that.

made Zhou Xiaoan feel that although the uncle said very little, he was still very willing to listen to his nonsense, and he was more enthusiastic when chatting.

Most children with psychological problems are very sensitive, and the attitude of others towards them directly determines their performance.

Zhou Xiaoan has been like this since she was a child, in front of her family, who sees her as good as anything, even when her condition is the most serious, she is also a normal child.

And in front of those who were curious or rejected by her because of her illness, she completely closed herself, and her self-esteem was so low that she almost lost the most basic communication skills.

So when she was keenly aware that Uncle liked to listen to her, and that he was patient and happy in whatever she said, she became a lively, willful, cheerful and lovely little niece in front of Uncle.

Today my uncle called, she told a bunch of things about herself, and then asked him for credit, saying that she had learned to knit flat needles, and asked him to quickly measure the size of his clothes, maybe one day she could start knitting sweaters for him!

The uncle was silent for a while, and suddenly told her that he was going on a special mission, and he didn't know how long he would go, so he asked her not to knit a sweater for him first.

Zhou Xiaoan immediately understood that this special task was to go to the battlefield!

At present, the situation at home and abroad is very tense, and the secrecy measures for the army's actions are even more strict, and unless it is a foreign war in which the whole people are mobilized like the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, ordinary people will not know about it at all.

But through the correspondence and phone calls with Uncle these days, Uncle told her a lot of things that although they were declassified, they were still very few people.

For example, the current foreign wars are not only those in the later history textbooks, but also some secret wars that have not been mentioned at all due to the limitations of their scale and other reasons.

For example, in the early stage of every war, it is these scouts who act first, and sometimes they even enter the expected strategic location for reconnaissance a year or even years in advance.

So as soon as Uncle Xiao talked about it today, her tears flowed down her eyes. She knew that Uncle was going to war.

What does war mean? When she was Zhou An'an, it was only a small part of the international news, so far away that it was not as close to her as Tarzan and Superman.

But when she became Zhou Xiao'an, the relatives she recognized in this world were about to participate in the war, and she realized that war is life and death.

Life and death, Zhou Xiaoan realized the meaning of these four words for the first time, and his heart was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe like he had pressed a mountain, and he cried out of breath for just a moment.

The news was too sudden, and it knocked her out of her mind, leaving only the instinct in her heart, "Uncle, can you not go?" You don't go! ”

Uncle didn't speak.

Zhou Xiaoan knew that she was willful and irrational like this, so she bit her lip and pressed the retention and reluctance in her heart, but she couldn't control her crying.

Uncle Xiao listened to her crying quietly until she was tired of crying, and then began to tell her, "Xiao An, you listen to me." As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse and indistinguishable, and he had long lost his usual sanity and calmness.

Zhou Xiaoan's eyes were hot again when he heard this, and tears fell from his eyes, but he tried to control his emotions and didn't cry again.

"Although it is a special task, I can still communicate with you, and the reply may not be so timely, so don't be in a hurry when the time comes. Uncle Xu, Uncle Jiang, and Sister Zhao, I have all said hello, no matter whether I am here or not, they will always take care of you. If you have something to do, look for them, don't be afraid, they will all be like uncles......"

Zhou Xiaoan couldn't hear him talk like this, as if, as if he wouldn't come back! For the first time, she rudely interrupted Uncle's words, "Uncle! I'll go see you! I can take a leave of absence! It's going to be you in two days! Shall I go and see you? Brother-in-law! I want to go! ”

The uncle was silent for a long time, and then he told her in a more hoarse voice, "Xiao An, Xiao Uncle, we will leave tomorrow." ”

The sadness and reluctance that Zhou Xiao'an had been suppressing suddenly burst out, and an indescribable anger arose, and he shouted at the microphone completely uncontrollably, "Liar! Uncle, you lied to me! Surely you already knew you were going to go! Tell me now! "Let her be so caught off guard, so sad, so reluctant!

Zhou Xiaoan threw the microphone and ran out.

Uncle Jiang, who was sitting in the office outside, saw her crying and ran away, screamed twice but didn't stop, and hurriedly went back to call Zhou Yuehai to ask what was going on.

Zhou Xiaoan only ran out of the door and stopped.

She slowly crouched down with her arms crossed, curled herself tightly into a ball, tears streaming down her face.

Uncle is the relative who she came to this world to give her the most help and care about the most, and in the past six months, she has treated him as a real relative. She couldn't accept that her uncle was going to the battlefield so suddenly. She couldn't accept that her uncle didn't tell her until the last minute.

It's as if she's just an insignificant person to him, and he doesn't need her care and concern at all.

In fact, her anger is more about fear, afraid that her uncle will not pay attention to her, afraid that her relatives who have always relied on her trust do not need her.

But when she calmed down, she knew that she had misunderstood her uncle.

Uncle did so many things for her, cared for her, took care of her, patiently replied to her question mark by question mark, took time out every week to listen to her nonsense, remembered all her nonsense, and some of what she said even if it were, he would remember it in a few weeks. How could Uncle not pay attention to her?

Zhou Xiaoan wiped his face with a handkerchief and ran back.

What she couldn't let Uncle hear before leaving was her crying, what she remembered was that she lost her temper with him!

She has to let her uncle go to the battlefield with peace of mind, so that he can worry about returning safely! (To be continued.) )
