Chapter 438 No news
After this telegram was sent, Zhang Xinlan almost fell to the ground as if she had been drained of her strength, but fortunately, Su Qingyun's eyes were quick and she grabbed her.
The three of them could only help the depressed Zhang Xinlan to go back, and when they got home, the three of them looked at her worriedly.
Li Xiulian: "Xinlan, don't think about it, Congwen must be at school." ”
"Yes, second sister-in-law, let's not scare ourselves." Qin Ying also comforted.
Although they said so, they all knew in their hearts that it was very likely that Congwen had gone to the battlefield, otherwise, how could they leave home in such a hurry.
Zhang Xinlan didn't say a word, and silently went back to the room, looking extremely lonely and sad with her back.
Li Xiulian and Qin Ying glanced at each other, they both saw the worry in each other's eyes, and the two sighed softly, if Congwen really went to the battlefield to fight, what should he do?
"What are you doing standing here stupidly?" Wu Guixiang and Su Dalin, who went out to visit the door, came back and saw the three of them standing in the house and said strangely.
Li Xiulian and Qin Ying turned around and stopped talking.
"What's going on?" Wu Guixiang was even more strange, and looked at it, "What about the second daughter-in-law?" What time is it, why don't you cook dinner yet? ”
"It's in the house."
"What are you doing in the house? Tell her to come out. Wu Guixiang frowned, "I'll call." ”
"Don't." Qin Ying hurriedly grabbed her, "Mother, didn't you listen to the radio just now?" ”
"What broadcast? I didn't listen carefully, who remembers a bunch of blessed thoughts? She and Su Dalin were chatting happily with someone just now, and they didn't listen carefully to what was said on the radio.
Li Xiulian's face was full of sadness, "Mother, there is a war outside, Congwen ...... It is possible that Congwen went to the battlefield. ”
Fight? To the battlefield? Wu Guixiang's expression was stunned, and after reacting for a long time, his body trembled, and Su Dalin, who was smoking a cigarette, choked violently.
"What? What do you say? From the text to the battlefield? Wu Guixiang didn't want to believe it, "How could it be?" Didn't he go to school? ”
"It's still uncertain, we sent a telegram to Congwen's school, if we replied to the letter, it was no, if we didn't reply, then ......" Li Xiulian only said half of the words, but everyone understood what it meant.
If he didn't reply to the letter, then he would have followed the troops to the battlefield.
"The second sister-in-law couldn't stand it for a while, so she went back to the room, let her be quiet for a while." Qin Yingdao.
"How? How? Wu Guixiang sat on the chair and muttered, "Congwen is still a student, can the country let him go to the battlefield?" ”
Su Qingyun lowered her eyes, the second brother is a student majoring in combat command, which is a talent that is very lacking on the battlefield, and she remembers that in this war, many recruits and cadets were mobilized, young people rushed to the front to defend their families and the country, and more troops stayed in the rear, vigilant to guard against other countries taking advantage of the situation.
Su Dalin frowned, there was a deep furrow between his eyebrows, and his body was trembling slightly, "Congwen is a student, but he is first and foremost a soldier. ”
"If the state asks him to go, he will definitely go." Su Dalin spoke these words very slowly, and his voice was a little difficult, as if he had exhausted all his strength before speaking.
In the past, he was indeed proud of having a grandson who was a soldier, but now he really let him know that his grandson went to the battlefield, which is another mood, and it doesn't matter what pride and pride he has, he just wants his grandson to be safe, don't get hurt, don't have an accident.
"Where are you going?" Wu Guixiang raised her voice suddenly, "That's a war!" There are so many guns, if you follow the text, if you ......" she couldn't go on, there was a faint cry in her voice, and tears fell.
This is the first time everyone has seen Wu Guixiang cry so emotionally, and they are not comfortable in their hearts, worried about Congwen, and for a while, no one in the room spoke.
"Daddy, come and see our harvest today, there is a pheasant that has just froze to death."
"There is also a rabbit that is making a hole and has been caught by me and Aimin."
The three brothers of the Su family went home with the prey they harvested today, and what they saw was such a silent and frozen picture.
The smiles on the faces of the three of them paused, and they looked at everyone strangely.
"What's wrong?" Su Aimin came to his daughter-in-law.
Qin Ying frowned, not knowing what to say.
Su Aimin looked up and saw Wu Guixiang's red eyes, he was shocked, what was going on? His mother, such an iron-clad heroine, cried.
Su Aiguo and Su Aiguo are also confused and confused.
Su Aimin's eyes turned around and fell on Su Qingyun's body, "Yunyun, you say, what happened?" ”
Su Qingyun slowly raised his head and looked at the second uncle, Su Ai, "Second uncle, in the afternoon, Uncle Fu said on the radio that our country and Yue are at war, and there is a war on the border. ”
"The troops have sent a lot of troops, second brother...... The second brother may have also gone. She finished with difficulty.
"How so?" Su Aiguo's eyes widened.
Su Aimin's pupils shrank, realizing the seriousness of the matter.
When Su Aidang heard this, his body instantly shook unsteadily, he licked his lips, shook his head in disbelief, "No, Congwen won't go, he won't go......"
He kept repeating it.
"It's all you!" Zhang Xinlan suddenly rushed out of the room, and roared at Su Ai Dang with red eyes, "When he was going to be a soldier, I said I didn't agree or disagree!" It's that you have to agree to him to be a soldier, and join forces to sign up without me, saying that he will go and let me not interfere with his choice! ”
"Now it's time for the war! Your son has gone to war! You're only going to say useless things here now, but you're dealing with those guns, guns, cannons, and whatever. Zhang Xinlan was almost hoarse, "Let me tell you, Su Ai Party, if there are three long and two short in Congwen, I will not finish with you!" ”
Su Aidang covered his face, tears flowed from his fingers, he couldn't say a word, he only had endless regrets in his heart, his son wanted to be a soldier, he wanted to fulfill his son, but he didn't expect it to be today.
Fighting, the Su Ai Party was at a loss, didn't it have a good life? Why is there a war?
"Second daughter-in-law, if you want to blame me, blame me." Su Dalin spoke slowly, his voice was old, "It was I who told Congwen not to embarrass our old Su family, and to behave well in the army, he listened to my words." ”
Zhang Xinlan whimpered in pain, tears flowed non-stop, who could she blame? Who can she blame now? As long as Congwen can be safe, she is willing to do whatever she wants.
The whole family was silent, and the oppressive atmosphere flowed.
"I'm going to cook." I don't know how long it took, Li Xiulian stood up with her body propped up.
"I don't want to eat it." Zhang Xinlan went back to the room after speaking, and Su Aidang followed in.
Qin Ying said: "I can't eat it either." ”
Wu Guixiang said strongly: "Forget it, don't be busy, let's make it when you want to eat." ”
"Hmm."
No one had the appetite to eat, and this night, the family tossed and turned, and none of them fell asleep.
The next day, Zhang Xinlan moved a chair and sat at the door of the house, waiting for the postman to deliver the telegram, on such a cold day, everyone persuaded her to go into the house and wait, she didn't speak, just sat there stubbornly, it was useless for anyone to persuade her, like a snowman who was piled up in winter, motionless, looking into the distance.
It's just that she waited from dawn until dark, and sat for a day, waiting for nothing.
On the third day, too, she waited for nothing from morning to night, and the family became more and more uncomfortable, and the more she could not wait for the telegram from Congwen, the more likely it was that he followed the troops.
Zhang Xinlan's whole person's vitality quickly decayed, and she sat there with her eyes blank, looking like she was more than ten years old, and she felt sad when she looked at it.
Su Congjun and Su Congwu were in the city, and they were more well-informed, so they naturally heard more news about the war, and they almost subconsciously thought of Congwen who was a soldier, and hurriedly rushed home.
"Mother." Su Congwu looked at the lifeless Zhang Xinlan, and his heart was sour, "Don't be like this, brother will be fine, don't brother hasn't come back yet, your own body will collapse first." ”
He held a bowl of hand-rolled noodles in his hand, "Mother, can you eat something?" ”
Zhang Xinlan didn't speak, she sat on the bed, looking at somewhere in the void, not knowing what she was thinking.
Su Congwu tried his best to speak, but he didn't get a word of her answer, a look, and could only retreat silently.
"The second daughter-in-law can't go on like this." Wu Guixiang's frowning brows never let go, "Don't wait for Congwen to have no news, she can't stand it herself." ”
"The main thing is that she can't listen to anyone's words now." Li Xiulian said, "I think Xinlan will go crazy if she doesn't know the news of Congwen again." ”
"That's right." Qin Ying also said.
The two of them can understand the mother's heart, and put themselves in their shoes that if this is the case with the army or Yunyun, they will also go crazy.
"We can't get in touch either." Su Aimin frowned, and thought carefully, "There is no reply from the school, and we don't know the specific number of the troops, if Congwen really goes to the front line, it will be even more impossible to contact, if only someone could find out?" ”
But he's just talking, who can they ask about?
Su Qingyun's eyes lit up, and his face was thoughtful.
In the afternoon, the family didn't notice that Su Qingyun went out alone, she walked to a remote place in the village, stopped, looked around to make sure there was no one, and said: "Trouble, the one who followed me, can you come out for a while?" ”
No one spoke, only the sound of the wind blowing.
Su Qingyun paused, raised his voice, and repeated.
She looked around, there was no figure, and just when Su Qingyun frowned and felt depressed, a figure fell silently behind her.
"Miss Sue." The voice of the speaker is calm and powerful.
Su Qingyun turned his head suddenly, there was some surprise in his eyes, it was really the man who appeared in the bazaar last time! He's been with her all the time!
