He Siwei received a letter from Siyi Factory, which told her about the return of her stepmother and younger brother.

The atmosphere was originally good, but He Siwei suddenly fell silent because of the letter.

He Siwei read the letter twice from beginning to end, closed the letter and put it in her pocket, and in the face of Lao Shen and Duan Chunrong's worries, she briefly explained the situation.

"My house was rented to Company Commander Shen, you also know, my stepmother came back from her hometown with her younger brother, they had no place to live, so they forcibly lived in, and the people in the 41 factory couldn't find Company Commander Shen's contact information, so they tried to write to me."

Duan Chunrong frowned, "Then what should I do?" ”

He Siwei said, "I have to go back." If the rent is collected, you can't still occupy the house. ”

Shen Hongwen finished smoking, he knocked out the cigarette ash in the cigarette pouch pot, "Company Commander Shen is a soldier who stays in the army all the year round, and your stepmother and younger brother have no place to live when they go back, and he doesn't care if he knows this situation." ”

He Siwei said, "If it's just the two of them, I won't say anything, it's a big deal to find Company Commander Shen, talk to him about the situation and refund the rent to him, Company Commander Shen is a good person, and he will definitely understand." But my stepmother went back with her current husband, who remarried, and the letter said that she was still pregnant. ”

He Siwei's meaning is also clear, it is okay for stepmother and younger brother to live, but it is not okay to live with a man.

Shen Hongwen understood, and said with a sigh, "I'm pregnant, this is not easy to do." ”

Duan Chunrong said, "Your stepmother remarried so soon? ”

He Siwei thought that she was already looking for a man before her father died, but this matter has not been verified, and she can't say much, but it doesn't prevent her from slowly infiltrating her stepmother's nature now.

She said, "I'm also quite strange, when I went to the countryside, Aunt Lin said that she was taking her younger brother back to her hometown, if it weren't for the letter from the factory, I wouldn't believe that she remarried and became pregnant again." ”

Duan Chunrong regarded He Siwei as a friend, and he had no scruples when he spoke, "There are a few good ones for your stepmother, you should keep an eye on yourself." This time you can approve leave, go back and see what the situation is, don't be blindly soft-hearted. ”

He Siwei said rest assured.

After delaying for a while, I still have to get fish, with Duan Chunrong's help, today is still faster than the sky, back to the mountain, Duan Chunrong carried a bamboo basket of fish, carrying a bag for He Siwei.

The food at night is still grilled fish, and tomorrow and one day, it will be changed to another group to find food, after Duan Chunrong saw Wang Jianguo, he said that he came to see He Siwei, and at the same time gave a stack of letters to Wang Jianguo.

After Wang Jianguo returned, he handed the letter to Guo Zhensheng and asked him to share it with everyone.

A letter came, and the atmosphere in the camp tonight was very good, and everyone took the fish and found a place to read the letter.

He Siwei took the opportunity to talk to Wang Jianguo about asking for family leave, and told him about the return of his stepmother and younger brother.

Wang Jianguo approved it without hesitation, "But you hold on for another month, finish picking the wood needed in the camp, and then you go home." ”

He Siwei could understand Wang Jianguo's decision and responded happily.

After taking leave, He Siwei went back to the shack to eat the fish slowly, the fish bones are very hard, even if they are grilled, they have not become soft, so you should pay special attention when eating.

There was a kerosene lamp hanging in the shack, when He Siwei came in, the shack was very quiet, everyone received a letter from home, reading the letter quietly, He Siwei walked back to his bed and sat down, picked up the lunch box, and slowly picked fish and meat to eat.

Teng Fengqin put away the letter and glanced at He Siwei, "Siwei, why did you come back?" My mom wrote to me and said that everything was fine at home. By the way, Aunt Lin and Xiaofeng also went back. ”

He Siwei was not in a hurry to speak, swallowed the fish meat in his mouth, and then said, "Oh, Aunt Lin and Xiaofeng went back?" Are they okay at home? ”

He Siwei answered, Teng Fengqin was flattered, and the pride in the past was unconsciously revealed between his eyebrows.

She said, "My mom said it was good, and let me tell you that you can rest easy here." ”

He Siwei sighed, Teng Fengqin waited for a while, and when she saw that she didn't speak, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart, and her eyes swept over He Siwei's face again meaningfully, before she ate quietly.

At this time, the other four people also read the letter.

I have been in the countryside for a long time, and there are letters from home, and there is less good news and more bad news, so there is no happy look on everyone's face.

Sun Xianghong ate the fish for a while, and said that he didn't know how many days it would take to drive the wood out.

Zhao Yongmei said, "The news brought back by the field commander was that in mid-April, the battalion sent a car to pull it, and ten truckloads of wood to build two barracks may not be enough." ”

Sun Xianghong said, "Now there is a chain saw, it is easier than before, the weather is good, and the task should be completed. ”

Zhao Yongmei said, "The day after tomorrow, we will change to another group to find food, let's discuss it and see who is in the next group." ”

Sun Xianghong said, "What is there to discuss, remove He Siwei, the five of us are just two in a group, it is impossible for us to be in a group, Teng Fengqin and I are in a group, you and Hu Juan are in a group." ”

Tang Shuang said, "What about me? ”

Sun Xianghong said, "You wait for the end, the workers are singular, and when it's the turn of the end, you and He Si are in a group, so it's okay." ”

In this way, Tang Shuang will work less than everyone for a week, everyone has no opinion, and Tang Shuang has nothing to disagree with.

After the meal, everyone washed and rested, Sun Xianghong came in from outside with a basin, and asked He Siwei directly, "Do you want to go back to visit relatives on leave?" ”

He Siwei was cleaning up the bed, Duan Chunrong took the things directly to his legs, and the fish she ate at night was only half full, she planned to wait until she finished cleaning up, and before brushing her teeth, she ate two pieces of bread to fill her stomach, the kerosene lamp in the shack was extinguished, and it was pitch black all around.

Everyone tacitly shared it with a good relationship, and it was only the first time, and then they all ate by themselves, and they just ordered food, and they couldn't eat it separately and be hungry.

So as soon as He Siwei's biscuit was taken out, Sun Xianghong rushed in and rushed at her, so frightened that she almost threw the biscuit in her hand.

He Siwei was so frightened that he just stabilized his hand, and Sun Xianghong asked again, "He Siwei, have you asked for family leave?" ”

Teng Fengqin, who was sleeping inside, also sat up, "Who asked for family leave?" ”

Sun Xianghong said, "I just heard them outside that He Siwei asked for family leave with the field manager in the evening. ”

After explaining to everyone, she said to He Siwei, "He Siwei, now the task in the field is tight, there are few people, you don't have to rush to leave, wait until you complete the task and then go home to visit relatives." ”

He Siwei said, "Sun Zhiqing, I asked for leave with the field manager, and I waited for the wood to be collected before leaving. ”

In her heart, He Siwei is also quite unhappy, why is there Sun Xianghong everywhere, what is she fuss about when others ask for leave.

Sun Xianghong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine." ”

also said that she was also thinking about the collective, and it was rare that this time she praised He Siwei, saying that He Siwei was conscious and knew that she was thinking about the field.

He Siwei didn't answer, took the biscuit and went outside the shack, stood under the tree and bit the biscuit, venting all the unhappiness in his heart on the biscuit, and heard someone coming out behind him, she didn't think much about it at first, and when she heard the footsteps coming towards her, she frowned and turned back.
