After careful consideration, I rejected Uncle Gao again, I thought so and told him, if I was afraid of sacrifice and danger, I would not come to be a soldier.

Everyone is afraid of danger, how to fight this battle, and always be ready to bear difficulties for the country is what my generation should do, and I ask Uncle Gao to transfer me to the most dangerous position.

Uncle Gao patted it, and my shoulder said that it was worthy of Zheng Laohu's species, and I insisted on it.

Dear mother, please forgive me for my willfulness, since I have pledged my life to the country, I will not be able to fulfill my filial piety by your side.

Let the third child be with the little sister and be by your side! It's cold in the winter in the capital, you wear more clothes when you go out, my eldest brother and I are not by your side, you take care of yourself.

Again, I beg your pardon, my dear mother, not to reply, for when you receive this letter I suppose I have already departed, and I will write to you again if I have time.

Sincerely

salute

On December 30, 1950, it was written at the foot of Mount Tai.

After reading the letter, the mother and son were silent for a long time.

It wasn't until my sister Xinyi pushed open the door and came in that the oppressive atmosphere in the house was relieved.

Zheng Xinyi looked at the mother and son in the house, and asked cautiously.

"Mom! What's wrong with you and your third brother? ”

Mother Zheng wiped her red eyes and said hoarsely.

"Mom and your third brother, it's not much! You're hungry! Mom, I'm going to give you a hot dish. ”

After saying that, he turned his back, and the tears couldn't stop staying, and he wiped away the tears again, and turned around to say.

"The third! You heat up the leftovers at noon and eat them with your sister first, I'll go out for a while. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zheng Zhendong to reply, he ran out.

Zheng Xinyi saw that Zheng's mother ran out, and hurriedly questioned Zheng Zhendong.

"Third brother! Why did you mess with our mother? I saw her crying. ”

Zheng Zhendong looked at his angry sister and spoke.

"It's not me who provoked her, or I would have taught him a lesson."

Zheng Xinyi heard the third brother say this, so she asked.

"Who messed with our mother? I can still make my mother cry when I'm not in front of me, what's going on? Third brother, you have confused me. ”

Zheng Zhendong raised the letter in his hand and said.

"Our second brother sent a letter, and he made our mother cry in the letter."

When Zheng Xinyi heard this, she asked excitedly.

"Second brother has a letter! Did you mention me in the letter? Did he say when he would be back? How did he make his mother cry? ”

When Zheng Zhendong heard his sister's question, his head was big, and he didn't know whether to tell her that his second brother was going to go abroad to fight, so he had to coax her.

"Second brother, I said hello in the letter, so that you can go to school next year and study hard."

"As for how to make our mother cry, the second brother fought in the army and suffered a little injury, and our mother was worried about him."

After that, get up and pour the leftovers into the pot, and stir a few times.

Seeing that her sister was going to ask again, she quickly interrupted her questioning, and then told her to take care of the pot, and went out to find Zheng's mother.

I searched around the courtyard but didn't find it, and when I went out, I met Aunt Ma who came back from taking out the garbage.

Hearing her say that Zheng's mother went to the west, Zheng Zhendong thanked Aunt Ma and hurriedly went west to find it.

Finally, Zheng's mother was found in the shadow in the northwest corner of the hospital.

Zheng Zhendong hurriedly walked over, looking at Zheng's mother, who had already cried into tears, Zheng Zhendong's heart was also sour.

At this time, Zheng's mother had already seen her son Zheng Zhendong coming, and asked with a crying voice.

"Third child, why are you here? Didn't you want to heat the dish at home? ”

When Zheng Zhendong heard Zheng's mother's question, he spoke.

"I'm not worried about you! I'll let my little sister look at it! Are you alright, Mom? ”

Mother Zheng said depressedly.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little scared, I'm afraid that your second brother will be like your father, and you won't go back."

"Hey! I don't dare to think... Bah! Bah! Bah! Bodhisattva bless! ”

Zheng Zhendong heard Zheng's mother talking nonsense and knew that her heart was in turmoil.

Hurriedly relieved Zheng's mother,... After a while, Zheng's mother finally recovered, and then only Zheng's mother sneezed.

"Ahh

Zheng Zhendong persuaded Zheng's mother to go home at the right time.

"Mom, go home! It's cold outside, and you're freezing and catching a cold, so that's not good. ”

Zheng Mu shivered coldly, and said tightly on her clothes.

"Let's go, go home, I don't worry about your sister being at home."

Zheng Zhendong followed Zheng's mother home, and on the way, he told Zheng's mother what he had just coaxed his sister, so that Zheng's mother didn't leak her mouth.

After a while, the two of them returned home, and by this time my sister had already put the hot dishes on the dining table.

Zheng Xinyi saw the mother and son enter the house and spoke.

"Mom, where have you been? Why did you come back, isn't it just that the second brother fought, are you concerned? It's not like I haven't fought before. ”

Mother Zheng heard her daughter's small mouth talking non-stop, and interrupted at the right time.

"Okay, I'm not fine, I received a letter from your second brother before, and I suddenly missed him a little, now it's okay, let's eat!"

After speaking, the three of them sat down at the dining table one after another, and then began to eat.

……

After eating and cleaning up, Zheng Zhen just wanted to go to sleep, when Zheng's mother said.

"Third brother, tomorrow you have nothing to do to send a letter to your second uncle, tell him to let him tell your grandmother, our family has found a daughter-in-law for your eldest brother."

"Let me ask your grandmother if you want to come to our house for a while."

"Okay, got it, Mom!"

Zheng Zhendong first agreed, and then asked.

"Do you have any other words to say? I'll write it together. ”

Zheng Mu thought about it for a moment, and then said.

"I haven't thought of anything else for the time being, I'll think about it before going to bed tonight, and I'll tell you tomorrow morning, okay, go to bed! Your sister and I are going to sleep too. ”

Zheng Zhendong listened to Zheng's mother's words, picked up the kerosene lamp in his bedroom and lit it, and then went back to sleep with the lamp.

Zheng Zhendong took off his clothes, lay down in the quilt and put out the light, thinking about what happened today.

first saw the legendary boss Qin Huairu, and when I thought of Qin Huairu, I thought about where my eldest brother would live after getting married?

Although the eldest brother is now an officer, he is not allowed to bring his family members with him if his rank is not enough.

There are a total of two rooms in the family, and the eldest brother can still squeeze with Zheng Zhendong if he is not married, and it is inconvenient to live after he is married.

Although Zheng Zhendong can let out the room he lives in now and go to the living room to sleep by himself, it is not ideal.

After all, if the eldest brother does not change jobs and does not upgrade, Qin Huairu can only live at home at that time.

The eldest brother does not live at home after getting married, and it is inevitable that he will be talked about by the neighbors in the yard at that time.

So I have to consider buying a house, anyway, now the private house can still be traded, but I don't know what the price is.

There is also whether the family has so much money, and Zheng Zhendong thinks about these problems.

Thinking about half a night, I didn't think about a reason, I went to bed and got up tomorrow to ask my mother.
