By the time the family's emotions calmed down a little, it was already half an hour later.
A large family was sitting in the living room, and everyone was looking at Su Congwen with such concentration that it seemed as if he would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Su Congwen didn't hide, he just let everyone see.
"Congwen, in the past three years..." Uncle Su Aiguo was the first to speak, but he stopped after saying a few words. He didn't know how to ask.
"Congwen, how have you been in the past three years?" Su Aidang took over, his eyes still red.
"What question are you asking?" Zhang Xinlan glared at him, "See for yourself, Congwen is still injured, can he live well?" She looked at Su Congwen's injuries and felt extremely distressed. .
Su Congwen smiled and said, "It's okay, Mom, these are just skin injuries, nothing to worry about." He originally wanted to wait until the injuries on his body were no longer visible, but he was afraid of missing Qingyun's wedding. So I could only come here with this bruised face.
"Skin trauma is not an injury?" Zhang Xinlan couldn't be fooled. What she saw now was skin trauma, but what about when she couldn't see it? I don’t know how much hardship her family Congwen suffered and how much she suffered.
Su Congwen, who now appears in front of everyone, has indeed changed a lot. He is thinner, his face is more resolute, and his aura is more fierce. He looks like an iron-blooded soldier, and there is no trace of his previous gentle and handsome appearance, and Everyone in the family knows that these changes were made on the battlefield, so no one feels sorry for him.
"It's really okay." Su Congwen said, "When I was in the army, everyone took good care of me. I always had the most food to eat and wore warm clothes."
"A week ago, we fought the last battle and said goodbye to our company commander. I went to the hometown of a comrade and helped him bring something home. Later I called the steel factory to find my elder brother and found out. As soon as there was news about getting married, I came to the capital for fear of missing it."
He talked about his experiences since he came out. He only picked out the good ones and spoke lightly. He didn't mention the rest of the hardships at all. But no one thought that his life in the past three years was easy. It was a battlefield, and he would lose his life if he was not careful. The battlefield of the brain.
Among the people present, except for the younger generation Su Qingyun and others, the two generations Wu Guixiang and Su Aiguo have experienced war and know the cruelty of war, so they dare not think about what Congwen has experienced in the past three years. What to come back safely?
Help your comrades take things home? Isn’t the battle over now? Why do you still need help from Congwen?
Everyone stopped their thoughts and did not dare to think about it again.
"It's all over." Su Congwen just said this softly, and then everything happened in the past three years.
No one asked anymore. If you continue to ask, you might be stabbing the child in the heart.
"Second brother, you came back at the right time." Su Qingyun changed the subject and said with a smile, "I'm getting married tomorrow, so it's just the right time for you to come back today."
"That's not true." Su Congwen also laughed, "If I miss your wedding, my second brother will definitely regret it for the rest of his life."
Wu Guixiang looked at the large family with tears in her eyes, "Now our family is truly reunited."
"yes."
"Finally gathered."
Everyone sighed.
In past reunions, there was always one person missing, but today, their Su family is the real one, no one is missing!
Everyone was laughing and smiling, with tears in their eyes again. This was destined to be an exciting day.
While the family was caring about Su Congwen meticulously, Su Congwu quietly walked aside. He walked to the bookshelf, took a look at it, and then opened the newspaper.
After Su Qingyun saw it, he followed him.
"Third brother, what are you doing?"
Su Congwu flipped through the newspapers and said, "I want to see the newspapers from a week ago to today."
Su Qingyun instantly understood what her third brother was looking for.
Su Qingyun also silently started flipping through. Their family had the habit of subscribing to newspapers. They subscribed to several newspapers with the largest circulation. It was not difficult to find all kinds of news from this week.
"Found it!" Su Congwu pulled out a few newspapers and said excitedly.
He flipped through it and finally stopped looking at a military newspaper.
"Yunyun, look." Su Congwu pointed to a certain place on the newspaper, his voice trembling.
Su Qingyun leaned her head over, glanced at it, and then fell silent.
This military newspaper clearly published a military news item.
"Beijing time, on April 4, 1982, our army's 315th Division successfully crossed the Beijiang Bridge and reached Vietnam's 128th position, cutting off the communication between the Vietnamese army and the base camp, annihilating the enemy... and seizing supplies..."
"In this battle, it is worth mentioning that the company under the 149th Division of our army, led by company commander Wu Junlin, fought the enemy for four days and successfully defended the Beijiang Bridge. The company suffered heavy casualties with more than 130 people. , there are only two people left alive, their spirit and will are worthy of our learning, and we would like to commend them to the entire army."
Only two people left alive?
After reading this heavy news, the brother and sister looked at each other and thought of what Su Congwen said just now. They did not dare to think deeply about it. Who are the two people mentioned in the news?
"Third brother, burn this newspaper." Su Qingyun said softly.
"good."
Su Congwu understood what his sister meant. This news must not be seen by the family. Although the second uncle and the others did not read the newspaper, it was better to destroy the body just in case.
He folded the newspaper and put it in his pocket.
The brother and sister sat back down as if nothing had happened, without attracting the attention of the family.
"By the way, it's already this time. Congwen must be tired after sitting in the car for so long." As she said that, Li Xiulian patted her head and realized, "Let's go, let's cook quickly."
"Sister-in-law, let me help you." Qin Ying also stood up.
Zhang Xinlan said quickly: "I'll go too."
She thought for a while and said: "Third son, go and invite your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and uncle Yun Yun to dinner. Our family is having a great time today. It can be regarded as a meal for our natal family before Yu Yun gets married.
"Okay." Su Aimin nodded.
"If you say that, I have to buy some food," Zhang Xinlan waved her hand very proudly, "I'm treating you today!"
After saying that, she trotted out the door, extremely anxious.
"Okay, second brother, as soon as you come back, my mother will be willing to pluck out her hair." Su Congwu said with a smile.
"What are you pulling out?" Zhang Xinlan's loud voice roared again, "Su Congwu, your skin is itchy, right?"
Su Congwu was startled, "Mom, why are you back again?"
"I can't do it without any money!"
Zhang Xinlan came over and tugged his ear, "You have nothing to do, right? You come with me."
The whole family couldn't help laughing.
