Yu Xiangnian thinks there is no need to lie to Xiaojie. If he tells a lie, there will be lies one after another.
She didn't have the heart to fulfill these lies.
Furthermore, Xiaojie is eight years old and does not understand many things. It would be better for him if she told him the truth.
"Your uncle met with an accident outside. I still can't contact him. I don't know what happened to him." Yu Xiangnian said.
The light in Xiaojie's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his eyes in despair.
Yu Xiangnian said: "It's useless for you and I to worry. All we can do is live our lives well. Waiting for him to come back and see that everything is fine with us will be the best comfort to him."
Xiaojie thought of his father.
His father was like this before. He said he would come back but didn't come back, and then he never came back again.
He lowered his head and secretly wiped away his tears, "Can my uncle come back?"
Yu Xiangnian looked at Xiaojie like this, the tip of her nose was sore, and she said solemnly: "Before we get news about him, we must firmly believe that he will come back!"
The collar of Xiaojie's clothes was torn, exposing a small piece of shoulder, and Yu Xiangnian tightened his clothes.
"Also, I want to tell you, no matter whether your uncle comes back or not, I will not let you go! Don't have any ideological baggage, Auntie means what she says!"
Xiaojie raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "You have a bad memory. You forget what you said within a few days."
Yu Xiangnian stretched out his hand and said, "Then let's pull the hook and not change for a hundred years. Whoever goes back on his word is a dog!"
Xiaojie also stretched out his hand, and the two of them hooked up. Xiaojie was crying and laughing.
Yu Xiangnian tried his best to lighten Xiaojie's mental burden. The child was afraid that he would be a drag.
Yu Xiangnian smiled and said, "Look, I can't live without you now. You sweep the floor, wash the clothes, and wash the dishes. If you weren't at home, this whole house would be in ruins!"
"And hurry up and take a shower and wash your clothes. Look, you're covered in ashes."
Xiaojie obediently went to take a shower. Yu Xiangnian's smile dropped, his eyes dropped, and he sighed.
The Lantern Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
Yu Xiangnian bought some things and took Xiaojie home for a visit. Actually, he wanted to get some information from Yu Jiashun.
After dinner, Zhao Ruozhu stayed with them for one night.
Yu Xiangnian understood that Zhao Ruozhu had something to say to her.
There were only mother and daughter in the room. Zhao Ruozhu's first question was: "Have you slept with Cheng Jingmo?"
Yu Xiangnian said calmly: "Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Zhao Ruozhu's eyes turned red, "There is no news about Xiang Yang and Cheng Jingmo so far, I guess..."
Yu Xiangnian was counting the days every day during this period.
Today is the 52nd day since Cheng Jingmo left home, and the 36th day since they lost contact.
Yu Xiangnian's heart felt as if someone had pinched her hard, and the pain instantly spread throughout her chest, causing her to burst into tears.
But she definitely couldn't show any sadness at this time.
Her parents were definitely more sad than she was. They lost not only their son-in-law, but also their son.
She held back her tears and took Zhao Ruozhu's hand, "Mom, isn't there still no news about them? Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangyang are both carefully selected soldiers, and they cannot be defeated so easily. They just encountered a huge enemy. Difficulties, maybe they are working hard to complete the task somewhere now, how can we give up before them!"
With tears in her eyes, Zhao Ruozhu nodded heavily and comforted herself by saying, "Yes! We can't give up!"
Yu Xiangnian thought for a while and then asked, "Mom, do you know where they went to perform their mission?"
Zhao Ruozhu wiped away her tears, "How could your father say this! He just wanted me to be mentally prepared! He also asked me to advise you."
Yu Xiangnian said stubbornly: "I don't believe anything will happen to them until I get the exact news of their deaths!"
The mother and daughter comforted each other hand in hand for a while. Zhao Ruozhu calmed down and said, "Nian Nian, you are my daughter, and I hope you will be well."
"I have discussed it with your father. If anything happens to Cheng Jingmo, we will take care of Xiaojie. It's hard to find him with a child."
It’s self-evident what to look for!
Yu Xiangnian said: "I promised Xiaojie that I would not abandon him. Don't think too much. Before we get the exact news, we must firmly believe that they will come back."
Zhao Ruozhu said: "I just want you to be mentally prepared, 10,000..."
Yu Xiangnian interrupted her and said, "Even if something happens, I can bear it. You are old, so you don't have to worry about me. Please advise my dad not to worry too much. I see that he has so many gray hairs all of a sudden." "
Although Yu Xiangnian said so much, the light in his heart dimmed.
Yu Jiashun asked Zhao Ruozhu to persuade her because she knew the inside information.
If before today, Yu Xiangnian still had some hope that Cheng Jingmo and the others would come back safely.
After today, the hope in her heart dropped to five points.
When I returned home the next day, Liu Zhen's sister-in-law came over and told Yu Xiangnian.
A soldier sent a telegram to Cheng Jingmo yesterday, but there was no one at home, so he took it away and asked Yu Xiangnian to get it from the army's duty room.
Yu Xiangnian came to the duty room to get the telegram. When he opened it, there were only a few words: OK or not, father read, Cheng Shuanzhao.
Yu Xiangnian remembered that Cheng Jingmo's father was called Cheng Huazi, so this Cheng Shuanshao should be Cheng Jingmo's brother or something.
Nothing happened, why send a telegram?
Yu Xiangnian was walking and thinking, and suddenly remembered that Cheng Jingmo sent money home every month, but he hadn't sent any money home for two months.
His family may have thought something had happened to Cheng Jingmo, so they sent this telegram.
Before there was definite news, Yu Xiangnian didn't want Cheng Jingmo's family to worry.
She planned to go to the post office tomorrow to send 60 yuan, and send a telegram to report that she was safe.
On the way back to the hospital, I suddenly heard the words "Yu Xiangyang".
She paused.
At the other end of the corner stood a man and a woman in military uniforms. The man said, "Xia Qingyun, believe me, Yu Xiangyang and the others will never come back."
Xia Qingyun pondered for a while and asked, "Did you get the exact news?"
This woman named Xia Qingyun is tall and slender and has a nice voice.
The man said: "Although it is not stated clearly above, everyone knows it. We have been out of contact for more than a month and we can't get in touch with him."
Xia Qingyun said: "Bai Dewen, let's wait until there is definite news."
After saying that, she turned to leave, but Bai Dewen grabbed her wrist.
"Qingyun, this is a matter of time." Bai Dewen said, "Besides, you have been talking to Yu Xiangyang for several months, and he has not taken you back to see your family. He is just playing with you, and you still Do you really hope to marry into the Commander-in-Chief’s family?”
Is Yu Xiangyang in love?
Is this his target?
Is his partner about to cheat?
A series of questions flashed through Yu Xiangnian's mind.
Xia Qingyun broke away from his wrist and said, "Stop trying to mess with me."
As soon as she turned around, she saw Yu Xiangnian standing not far away.
