"You should be careful when using this medicine. You don't need me to tell you how effective it is. You understand it." She pointed at another bottle of medicine in his hand and warned him again and again.
"I know, I only give this medicine to Han women, and they are the only ones I am willing to use. I am reluctant to give it to others." Speaking of this, the old man finally showed a little anger on his face.
When Li Yiyi saw this, she pursed her lips and smiled. She could see that the old man was not the kind to mess around, so he stopped instructing him.
Next, she stayed here and cooked a pot of ham porridge for the old man.
"It's still a little hot, so you can eat it after it cools down a bit. Also, the weather is cold now, so this porridge can last all night. You can cook it and heat it up in the morning for another meal."
Hua Xinbai nodded while blowing on the porridge in the bowl, "I know, I know, why am I just like your mother? She loves to nag."
Although his words were a bit disgusting, the expression on his old face seemed to be quite useful.
Li Yiyi looked at his duplicitous old face, shook her head and smiled. After a while, most of the smile on her face disappeared, "Grandpa, let me tell you something. I am going to join the army in the next two days. You are here If you have any difficulties, just go to my mother-in-law and the others, they know our relationship and will not fail to help."
When Hua Xinbai, who had just taken a sip of porridge, heard her words, the expression of enjoyment on his old face slowly faded, "Are you going to join the army so soon?"
Li Yiyi could see the sad mood of the old man. Although she didn't want to admit it, she still responded, "Well, it's not too soon. It has been a long time to solve some things. You have to take good care of your body. Remember to take the bottle of medicine I gave you on time. After you finish it, I will send it over again, do you hear me?"
"I know, then when will you come back?" he asked again.
When Li Yiyi heard his question, she pursed her lips and smiled. She hadn't even joined the army yet, but the old man had already asked her when she would be back.
"I can't say for sure, but I'll try to come back as often as possible." She reassured.
When Hua Xinbai heard this, he immediately shook his head, "It's better not to come back often. It's not very close to here. It takes several days to take the train. It's so tiring. Don't come back often."
The corners of Li Yiyi's mouth curved, "Then I'll write back frequently, so that's okay."
"Writing letters is fine. If you're not tired of writing letters, then just write letters." He nodded in agreement.
Next, the grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, until late at night, Li Yiyi came out.
In the next two days, Li Yiyi was preparing to join the army.
Time flies and the day of joining the army soon comes.
Because she booked the train tickets a little early, Mother Jiang took her two daughters-in-law to make breakfast early in the morning, and the family sat together and had a reunion breakfast.
After breakfast, under the reluctant eyes of everyone in the Jiang family, Li Yiyi took the two children to the train station on the ox cart borrowed by Brother Jiang from the village.
As soon as the two little guys who had not been out much came out of the village, they were like birds that had been released, chirping, and they were extremely curious about the scenery outside.
After nearly an hour, the bullock cart finally arrived at the train station.
As soon as the few people moved their things into the station, the news came on the radio that the train she was going to take was coming into the station.
Brother Jiang, holding a luggage bag in each hand, squeezed through the crowd in front and opened a passage for the mother and son to get on the bus.
Finally getting on the train, Brother Jiang stood outside the train and said, "Third brother and sister, you and the two children have a good journey. When you get there, send a telegram home."
Li Yiyi nodded and said, "I understand, brother, go back and take care of your family."
After saying these words, the train began to move forward slowly.
The whistle of the train indicates that the three of them, mother and son, are going to a new place to start a new life.
I was still a little sad about the separation, but when I saw the happy faces of the two children next to me, most of it disappeared in an instant.
"Mom, is this a train? Can it really take us to our father's place?" Until she got on this running train, Jiang Yueyue still couldn't believe that she was actually on the train.
Li Yiyi smiled and touched her little head, "It is the train. In two days, it will take you to see your father. Are you happy?"
"Happy." The siblings replied with smiles one after the other.
What follows is an excruciating two days and two nights.
Because she had two children to take care of, and there were everyone on the train, for the safety of the two children, she took them with her wherever she went in the next two days.
Once when she took her two children to urinate and returned, she accidentally discovered that a small slit had been scratched in one of her bags.
But fortunately, there was nothing valuable in it.
For the next day and night, she hardly slept a wink, and kept staring at the two children beside her.
Fortunately, the train arrived at its destination a little faster than usual.
When she heard the name of her destination being played on the train, God knows she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
If this didn't happen again, she would almost be unable to endure it.
In order to keep her two children by her side at all times, when she finally got out of the car, she thought of a way. One child held her, another child carried her, and the other hand held the two bags.
Outside the train, Jiang Hong stretched his neck and stared at the people getting off the train. Just when his eyes were about to blur, he finally saw the figure of his longed-for daughter-in-law in the crowd.
But when he saw her difficult steps, he felt heartbroken and immediately ran towards her with large strides.
Li Yiyi was out of breath at this time. She still overestimated herself. She had only walked a short distance and now she was out of breath.
Just when she was thinking about finding a place to stop and take a rest, someone suddenly picked up the son she was holding in her arms.
This sudden incident made Li Yiyi, who was suddenly distracted, think that she had met a human trafficker, and subconsciously wanted to throw the big bag in her hand.
Jiang Hong didn't expect that the daughter-in-law he had just met would treat him like this. He quickly reached out to catch the bag that was thrown at him, and shouted before she shouted, "Daughter-in-law, it's me."
Hearing this familiar shout, Li Yiyi raised her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the familiar face of the man. Then she was angry that he took the child away without saying a word, and gave him a blank look, blaming him. He said, "Why didn't you shout when you came here? You just hugged the child. I thought it was a trafficker who came to snatch the child. You scared me to death. Do you know that?"
Jiang Hong looked at his wife, whose face turned pale with fright. He stepped forward and patted her on the back distressedly, and said comfortingly, "I'm sorry, wife, it was my fault. I won't dare to do it next time."
