It wasn't until she couldn't see Su Congwen's figure that she slowly turned back.

"What are you doing in such a hurry, kid?" Qin Ying asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I can't bear the second brother, so I said a few more words to him." Su Qingyun smiled casually, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Uh-oh." Qin Ying didn't think much about it, "Come into the house, it's cold outside." ”

"Okay."

The Su family entered the house, looked at the house, and sighed in unison, obviously there was only one person missing, but this home seemed to be much deserted.

After being silent for a while, everyone began to talk about other topics and divert their reluctance.

Su Qingyun went back to the room alone, looked at the calendar on the table, she took out a red pen, and lightly clicked a red dot there on February 17, only two weeks from this date.

Listening to the faint sound of talking outside, Su Qingyun sighed heavily.

Time passed day by day, and Su Qingyun became more and more worried day by day, and soon, it was the point in time she marked on the calendar.

"Yunyun, what are you doing sitting outside the house? It's cold outside, come in. Qin Ying looked at Su Qingyun sitting alone in the courtyard and wondered.

"It's okay, Mom, I'll sit down for a while."

Su Qingyun sat in the courtyard with a silent expression, today was a rare sunny day in winter, the sun was shining warmly, she could see the cooking smoke and green mountains in the distance, everything was so quiet and beautiful, but she also knew that on the other side of the country, it was a rain of bullets and guns at this moment, and artillery was flying.

Among those brave soldiers who chose to go out to fight for the sake of national peace and stability, one was her second brother, her young and fearless second brother.

Su Qingyun turned her head and saw the second aunt in the house who was taking the soles of her shoes with her eldest aunt, her heart was a little sour, and her mood at this moment was not only afraid that her family would know, but also afraid that her family would not know.

"I don't know what's going on, my heart is pounding today, but it's fast." Zhang Xinlan covered her heart, a little strange, "Why do you feel so panicked?" ”

"What's the panic?" Li Xiulian smiled, "I panicked when I didn't eat meat in my mouth, but you ate three big pieces at noon today, are you still panicking?" ”

"Oops, it's not that panic." Zhang Xinlan waved her hand, and she couldn't describe the reason, "Anyway, I just feel bottomless in my heart, it's too strange, I didn't have this feeling before." ”

Qin Ying on the side said: "Is it a feeling of restlessness? ”

"What do you mean to be restless?"

"It's just a feeling that something bad is going to happen." Qin Ying explained.

"Yes, yes, that's what it feels like." Zhang Xinlan hurriedly said, and then was startled, "It can't be that they love the party, what happened to them, right?" ”

The three brothers of the Su family looked at the good weather today and went up the mountain together, wanting to go up the mountain to see if there was any game that came out to forage for food, anyway, there was nothing to do at home, so it was better to go out and try their luck, just pass the time.

"What nonsense? Hurry up and hurry up! Li Xiulian hurriedly said, "The situation on the mountain is patriotic, they know it in their hearts, what can happen?" I see you've had a long day. ”

"Hurry up and take your soles, didn't you say that you want to make two pairs of thick cotton shoes for both Congwen and Congwu?"

Zhang Xinlan pursed her lips, and could only suppress the inexplicable panic in her heart.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Captain Qin Youfu's voice suddenly sounded on the village radio, "The villagers of Luoshui Village, can you hear it?" Now broadcast a big news, now broadcast a big news. ”

Big news? Su Qingyun's heart instantly stirred, wouldn't it?

"At half past four o'clock this morning, our country's self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam has begun! According to the news broadcast, China's first batch of troops participating in the war totaled 360,000 people from 7 armies and 22 divisions, and there were more than 700,000 militia and civilian workers participating in the war, more than 800 tanks, self-propelled artillery, and armored vehicles, more than 9,000 artillery pieces of various kinds, and more than 30,000 vehicles of various kinds. ”

"This war is a battle that our country must fight in order to protect the hard-won stability, and the dispatch of so many troops, tanks and artillery is enough to prove our country's determination to resolutely defend its territorial integrity, and it is not easy for our country to go to this day, there is too much bloodshed and sacrifice, for peace, we have to fight, and we, as ordinary people of China, must also unite with the outside world, even if we are not soldiers and do not go to the battlefield to charge, we must also be their most solid backing in the rear!"

"I hope everyone cheers up, always be vigilant, don't be taken advantage of by some people or forces with intentions, and once you find any people and things that are wrong, you must report to the brigade immediately!"

After Qin Youfu finished speaking, he repeated it twice, he wanted to use the news of the war to encourage the villagers to unite, and also to prevent some forces with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the situation, because this has not happened in the past, those countries in the West, the favorite thing to do is to take advantage of his illness and kill him, even if they are just a remote village here, they must have a sense of vigilance.

After Su Qingyun listened to the radio clearly, his heart sank and he frowned.

"Ouch Xinlan, why did you get it?" Li Xiulian looked at Zhang Xinlan's bloody fingers and exclaimed, "How can you still pierce the soles of your shoes?" Hurry up and hold it. ”

Zhang Xinlan turned a deaf ear, as if she couldn't feel the pain at all, and said in a daze: "Did the captain say that there was a war just now?" ”

"Did you say that? I seem. Li Xiulian didn't listen to such a long sentence, she was not sure.

Zhang Xinlan turned her head to look at Qin Ying, Qin Ying's face was not very good-looking.

Zhang Xinlan hurriedly asked, "Yingzi, did you hear clearly just now?" Is there a war? ”

Qin Ying nodded slowly.

Zhang Xinlan shook her head, her expression changed suddenly, and she couldn't believe it: "There was a war? How can there be a war? Hasn't it been a long time since there has been a war? ”

"Congwen, Congwen won't go to the battlefield, right?" Her eyes were blank, and she said with a sad face.

"No, it won't." Li Xiulian also panicked for a moment, and then comforted Zhang Xinlan, "There are so many troops in the country, so many soldiers, isn't Congwen still studying in the military academy?" Even if it's a war, you won't let the students go, don't think about it. ”

"Yes, yes, Congwen is in the military academy, in the military academy." Zhang Xinlan's eyes lit up, and she kept saying that she was trying to convince herself that Congwen was now studying in a military academy and would not go to the battlefield, and she would definitely not.

Hearing her words, Su Qingyun lowered his eyes slightly, the second brother is a student of the military academy, but he is first and foremost a soldier, he knows what the duties of a soldier are, and he firmly fulfills his duties and obligations as a soldier, but this kind of words, how can she bear to tell the second aunt?

The second aunt is a mother, a mother, and what she needs is not a brave and warlike soldier, but a safe and healthy son.

"No, no, what did you say before you left?" After Zhang Xinlan comforted herself for a few words, she suddenly thought of what Congwen said when she said that she wanted to go back, "He said that there were some temporary arrangements above for him to go back early, why are you in such a hurry to go back early?" ”

said that she could stay at home for half a month, but suddenly left early, or because of the order from above, Zhang Xinlan felt that something was wrong even if she was stupid now, but she still didn't want to believe it.

She looked at Qin Ying and asked, "Yingzi, you read a lot, tell me, where is that Yue Kingdom?" And where is the border? Our family Congwen is in Spring City, he won't go, right? Definitely not, right? ”

Qin Ying's frowning brows never let go, she looked at Zhang Xinlan's frightened face, and the words in her mouth couldn't bear to say at all.

"Second sister-in-law......"

"Yingzi, you tell me that Congwen won't go, right?" Zhang Xinlan hoped that Qin Ying would nod, as long as she nodded, she would believe it.

"Yue Guo is close to my country's Yun Province, and if there is a war, the first troops to assemble will be the Chuncheng Military Region." Qin Ying's face couldn't bear it, but she still said it, because she knew the worries of being a mother, and if she didn't tell Zhang Xinlan the truth, she would only be more frightened and afraid.

"Chuncheng Military Region, Chuncheng Military Region." Zhang Xinlan muttered the name twice, and her face was frighteningly pale.

Isn't Congwen in the Chuncheng Military Region? Isn't Chuncheng Army Academy a school for Congwen? Congwen is so close and went back early, will he ......

Zhang Xinlan didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Li Xiulian also realized the seriousness of the matter at this time, and she didn't dare to think about whether Congwen really went to the battlefield?

Zhang Xinlan sat dumbfounded, like a wooden stake, not knowing what she was thinking, Li Xiulian and Qin Ying were also silent, and the atmosphere in the room was terrifyingly stagnant.

Su Qingyun turned his face away, endured the discomfort in his heart, and wiped his tears.

"No, I have to send a telegram to Congwen!" Zhang Xinlan was stunned for a long time, and suddenly stood up, "I have to ask if he is in school!" ”

As long as Wen Neng replied to her telegram, it proved that he was still fine, and he did not go to war, and did not go to Nalaoshzi Yueguo.

After saying that, she rushed out of the house, and the speed was very fast.

"What's this called! What a sin! Li Xiulian sighed, dropped the things in her hand, and chased them out with Qin Ying, they were all afraid that something would happen to Zhang Xinlan.

"Xinlan, you wait for us, we'll go with you."

Su Qingyun also followed behind.

Zhang Xinlan's pace was extremely fast, and the three people behind her almost couldn't keep up, so they hurriedly followed her, so tired that they were out of breath, and they were tired from sweating on a cold day.

Four people, three big and one small, rushed to the town so deep and shallow, just to send a hurried telegram to ensure the safety of the child.

It was almost an hour's journey, and the four of them rushed to the town in just over half an hour, Zhang Xinlan went straight to the post office, quickly took a telegram, and sent it to Spring City.

They were all praying that they would receive a reply from Congwen.

But only Su Qingyun knew that this was destined to be a telegram without a reply.
