Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Ever since she learned about the war in the southwest, Song Sihong would pay attention to the news in newspapers every day, and would ask Lu Aiguo from time to time.

But there was only so much she could know about military matters.

Sihong also understands this truth. She just wants to know through those messages whether Meng Zibin is doing well or not!

The war comes and goes as quickly as it comes!

One month is over!

Sihong originally thought that she would receive a reply from him as soon as the war was over, but she waited and waited, and waited for a full month, but still no news.

During this period, Sihong wrote several more letters to him, but they were all returned intact by the post office on the grounds that the person was not found!

Sihong's heart was completely cold now, and she sent him a telegram with her last glimmer of hope.

Come back and marry me, or I will marry someone else!

But this telegram still fell into the sea, no news!

Sihong was going crazy. She went to Lu Aiguo, hoping to call Meng Zibin's army. No matter whether he was dead or alive, she always wanted to know the news.

Lu Aiguo rejected her on the grounds that outsiders could not use the phones within the army.

But Lu Aiguo also promised Song Sihong that he could help her ask.

Lu Aiguo acted quickly and contacted Meng Zibin's unit that day.

No one except Lu Aiguo knew what the other party said. They only knew that Lu Aiguo made two or three phone calls in a row, and finally said with a heavy face: "I understand, we will try our best to comfort her, she is a smart girl, It shouldn’t be difficult to cross this threshold!”

Song Xiuxiu originally wanted her little sister to wait at home, but she was too impatient and ran directly to the gate of the compound to wait for Lu Aiguo to get off work.

Song Xiuxiu was worried that bad news would come, so she asked Sanhong to take care of the children while she accompanied Sihong to wait at the door.

When Lu Aiguo's figure appeared in their sight, Sihong couldn't wait to run over.

"Second brother-in-law, how are you!"

Seeing Sihong's anxious look, Lu Aiguo felt a little embarrassed to say anything.

You will have this experience after being a soldier for a long time. What is more difficult than going to the battlefield to kill the enemy is doing work for the families of the martyrs!

Lu Aiguo thought about it all the way and thought of many tactful words, but at the critical moment he realized that those so-called tactful words were actually more like pulling flesh with a dull knife, and could not alleviate the other party's pain at all!

Looking at the expectant and anxious expressions of the two sisters Song Xiuxiu, Lu Aiguo finally chose the most direct method.

"Tell me over there that Comrade Meng Zibin is no longer here!"

"Don't wait for him anymore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Hong felt his eyes go dark and fainted!

Song Xiuxiu and Lu Aiguo rushed her to the health center.

After an examination by Dr. Meng, he said that she was fine and that she had fainted due to excessive stimulation in a short period of time. She would be fine if she regained consciousness and gave her more guidance.

Song Xiuxiu stayed in front of the hospital bed and asked Lu Aiguo softly: "Even if Meng Zibin died, the Four Reds should be notified over there. Why has there been no news for so long?"

Lu Aiguo: "The army has notified Meng Zibin's family, but his family only knows that he has a date in the army, and they don't know the details. In addition, they are only in the contact stage and are not engaged, so it makes sense that they were not notified. middle."

Song Xiuxiu: "But Sihong wrote several letters to Meng Zibin, they should know the address!"

Lu Aiguo: "Letters are personal privacy and others have no right to open them. Moreover, they don't know whether the other party is Meng Zibin's partner, so they dare not reply rashly."

Hearing this, Song Xiuxiu sighed heavily, then gently stroked Sihong's haggard face, and said to herself: "I hope she can survive this!"

Since Sihong didn't wake up, Song Xiuxiu asked Lu Aiguo to go back first. After all, there were only three adults in the house among the children, so she was always worried.

It was already dark when Sihong woke up.

Song Xiuxiu helped her walk home step by step. She didn't say a word along the way, her eyes were dull, and her face had lost its former look, as if her soul had been sucked out.

When they got home, Liu Donglin and Sanhong had already prepared dinner. Zhao Xuewen and Yaya were telling stories with a group of children. Lu Aiguo was holding his little daughter and watching his brothers and sisters.

Sihong didn't say hello to anyone and went directly to Yaya's room like a zombie.

Song Xiuxiu said to Lu Aiguo and Liu Donglin: "You take the children to eat first, and I will go and persuade them!"

Then Song Xiuxiu and Sanhong entered the room.

Sihong sat cross-legged on the kang without turning on the light.

After Song Xiuxiu turned on the light, Sihong still had no reaction.

She had been like this since she woke up. Song Xiuxiu was mentally prepared, but it was the first time that Sanhong saw the usually eloquent girl like this, so she hugged her distressedly.

Song Xiuxiu saw that her little sister still had no reaction, so she sat down next to her.

"Little sister, I can understand your mood right now!"

"When the news of your second brother-in-law's death came, my whole world collapsed."

"But what's the use of just being sad, lying on the kang all day long without eating or drinking!"

"Life has to go on, life has to go on!"

After saying that, Song Xiuxiu also hugged her gently, and then said softly: "Little sister, listen to the second sister, if you feel uncomfortable, cry or shout out. After venting, we should eat and drink. Tomorrow The sun will rise as usual!"

After a while, there was a faint sound of sobbing, which gradually became louder and louder, and finally turned into howling.

Sihong lay on Sanhong's shoulder and kept crying, while Song Xiuxiu pressed her cheek against her trembling back.

Slowly, the crying became quieter, and Sihong finally spoke.

"Second sister, why? What would he do to provoke me?"

"I finally fell in love with him, and he's gone again!"

"If I had known this would happen, he shouldn't have come to provoke me!"

"They're human too!"

When Song Xiuxiu said this, her tone was full of sadness and helplessness.

Soldiers must be prepared to sacrifice for the country and the people at any time, and military families must be able to bear the loss of their loved ones!

Song Xiuxiu lay on her back, gently caressed her body that was shaking from crying, and then said softly.

"Little sister, second sister knows that this process is very painful, but you just need to endure it and it will be fine!"

"Everything will pass!"

……

That night, the three sisters hugged each other and fell asleep without saying anything. After all, real pain cannot be shared with others. All Song Xiuxiu and Sanhong could do was to accompany them!

The next day, Sihong woke up very early. In fact, strictly speaking, she didn't sleep at all.

Sihong stood in the yard, watching the rising sun climb up little by little...
