Zhang Chunni hadn't seen Yunshang for several years, and now she saw her enter the door with snowflakes on her head, standing slimly in the room, almost unrecognizable.

It wasn't until Yunshang bent her eyebrows and shouted Zhang Chunni that she came back to her senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to pat the snowflakes on Yunsheng's body, and asked in a slightly excited voice, "...... Yunshang? Are you back!? ”

"Hey! Aunt Zhang, I went home at the beginning of the month, I went to my grandmother's house in Fenyang these days, and I only came back yesterday. ”

Yunshang took the opportunity to put the things in her hand on the table, looked around the room, and then asked, "Aunt Zhang, where is Sister Pangui?" Second Brother Gu said that he was about to become an uncle, and I had to go and see Sister Pangui. ”

"I'm still asleep in the Westinghouse." Zhang Chunni poured evening sweet soup for Yunshang, and talked about Gu Pangui's situation, "She is now seven months old, she sleeps a lot, her body is heavy, and she likes to sleep lazy on this kind of day." ”

With such a heavy snow outside, it's better for people with big bellies to nest under the covers, and if they fall outside, it will be a big trouble.

Yunshang poured a cool breeze outside, and went down to a bowl of hot soup around the stove, and the whole person warmed up. Untied the scarf, took out the muslin from the bag, and asked Zhang Chunni to make intimate clothes for the child in Gu Pangui's belly.

Zhang Chunni was not polite to Yunshang, took the muslin cloth and put it aside, picked up the bowl and continued to add soup to Yunshang, "Isn't it good to eat outside?" Why is this so much thinner than before? Come, drink a bowl of soup to warm up, and wait for Aunt Zhang to stew a chicken for you at noon. ”

When Yunshang heard that Zhang Chunni was going to stew chicken for her, her head almost exploded.

If she is not mistaken, she has been in Fenyang for more than half a month, and the old lady kills an old hen every three days on average, and now when she hears the word 'stewed chicken', her mouth will be filled with the smell of chicken soup. I'm really tired of drinking.

Yunshang took the soup bowl handed over by Zhang Chunni and put it on the edge of the stove, "Aunt Zhang, don't be busy." I'll have to go back after a little sitting, and I'll have to go to the department store with my mom today. ”

The temperature has suddenly cooled down in the past two days, and after Yunshang came back from Hong Kong City, she only bought a few single clothes in the capital, and she had to go to the department store to buy her winter clothes today.

Otherwise, she would have to wear those 'fancy clothes' brought back from Hong Kong City to swagger through the market.

Zhang Chunni nodded, sat on the edge of the stove, asked about Yunshang's situation in the past few years, and also told Yunshang about Gu Shi's call back two days ago.

“…… It is said that the weather in Yicheng is good, it is not cold in winter, and there are many trees on the mountain in summer, which is cooler than in the city. The company he led was a top-notch company selected from several military regions, and its training was harder than that of ordinary soldiers, and there were fewer holidays, so it was estimated that they would not be able to come back this year.

By the way, why did I hear the third child say, you don't go to college, and you will go to the Yicheng Military Region in a few days? ”

Yunshang didn't deny it, and nodded, "I told my parents, I'm too young to go to college at my age, I'll go to Yicheng for two years first, and then think about going to college after I reach eighteen." ”

When she is eighteen, she will first bet on Gu Shinian to get married first, and she will have a reason to continue to stay in Yicheng and not come back, and then think about going to school after the college entrance examination is resumed.

Zhang Chunni didn't know what Yunshang was thinking, but after listening to her reason, she didn't doubt it, "That's right, if you can go to college, of course you have to go to college." For example, in our factory, there is one college student, all of whom are cadres who sit in the office, and there are really few cadres who graduated from junior high school and high school. ”

The Bai family has the conditions to send their children to college, and it is a pity not to go to college.

The two chatted for a while, and when Gu Pangui got up, Yunshang went over to take a look at her seven-month-old pregnant belly, and touched it, ignoring Zhang Chunni's retention, and walked towards the courtyard against the wind and snow.

………

At the same time, Gu Guangzong, who was far away in a small remote county town in the northwest, stood at the door of the only post office in the county, wandering back and forth crampedly, not knowing whether he wanted to call Zhang Chunni.

After receiving Gu Shinian's call, he didn't dare to delay, and climbed the train to the northwest on the same day to rush to this small county town that was almost invisible on the map.

took the letter of introduction to the labor camp, only to find out that Gu Huaiqing died ten days ago, and the farm said that Gu Huaiqing had an infectious disease, and no one dared to collect the body, so the leader directly asked the county funeral home to come and take the person away and cremate him.

After Gu Guangzong came over, Gu Huaiqing's ash jar was still stored in the funeral home, and no one from the labor camp gave him a grave bag.

Thinking of the tall and sturdy man before, who had only turned into a handful of ashes and lived in a small ash jar, Gu Guangzong's heart was both relieved and an inexplicable sadness spread out for no reason.

He touched the secret letter that he had been carrying in his arms for several days, pursed his lips, entered the post office, and dialed the phone number that he knew by heart, but had never called.

As soon as Zhang Chunni arrived at the factory, before she could untie her scarf, someone outside shouted to her to go out and answer the phone.

"Comrade Zhang, come on, your son's phone!"

Zhang Chunni thanked her co-worker with a smile, took the phone, and just shouted "third", Gu Guangzong's voice came out of the microphone.

"I'm Gu Guangzong." Gu Guangzong paused for a moment, giving Zhang Chunni enough time to react before continuing, "I'm here at the Northwest Labor Reform Farm, give it to me...... Give it to him, and deal with the aftermath. ”

Zhang Chunni's whole body froze there, and the hand holding the phone began to tremble unconsciously, and after a long time, she coughed dryly, and her voice trembled slightly, "...... Top dog? ”

"Well, it's me." Gu Guangzong responded and took a deep breath, "It was the third child who asked me to come over, I finished packing his things and found that there was a letter to be sent to you." ”

Gu Guangzong touched the thin piece of letter paper in his arms again and asked, "Shall I tell you the contents of the letter, or will I send the letter to you?" ”

Zhang Chunni was silent and didn't speak, until Gu Guangzong opened his mouth to urge her, then sighed and asked, "What did he say in his letter?" ”

He said that the third child should graduate from college this year, and the letter contained a list of people he had helped before, and he wanted the third child to inquire, and if these people were still available, let the third child move the relationship around...... These are connections. ”

Gu Guangzong half-turned his body, carried the post office staff on his back, and lowered his voice, "The letter sent by the labor camp is to be checked repeatedly, he is probably afraid that the letter will not be sent, and it is written as a secret letter,...... "If you don't know how to crack it, it is an ordinary family letter."

Zhang Chunni's brows furrowed unconsciously, pondered for a while, and said, "You send the letter over, I want to send the letter to the third child." ”
