Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

It was pitch black outside the window, and the desk lamp on the desk in front of the window illuminated the space.

Chen Xueru leaned over the table, looking down at the letter in her hand carefully.

As the letter was turned, the expression on his face changed, sometimes happy, sometimes frowning.

"Xue Ru, what did Yang Yang say in the letter? Let me see it too."

Before I saw the person, I heard He Yuzhu's shouting, and then he walked into the bedroom.

Chen Xueru was watching and continued reading the letter regardless of him.

He Yuzhu was used to it and walked towards the desk.

A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. As a mother, how can she not worry when her son runs away so far away?

Every time I received a letter, I read it again and again and put each letter away carefully.

"Okay, okay! I asked you to write it but you didn't, and you had to come to me to read it.

Here, here, take it and have a look for yourself!"

After Chen Xueru finished reading the last line, she saw He Yuzhu bending over her head and quickly handed him the letter.

He Yuzhu was not annoyed. He took it with a smile and scanned the paper at a glance.

Watching him flipping through the letters, Chen Xueru's face showed mixed emotions as she muttered to herself.

"Yang Er said in the letter that he was going to be promoted to the reconnaissance company.

I have asked people and found out that those who can go to the reconnaissance company are elite soldiers. But they said that this mission is also the most dangerous.

Brother Zhuzi, what should we do? What if something happens to him? Yang'er is still young..."

As he spoke, his voice became choked up, he was really worried about his son's safety.

He Yuzhu quickly read the contents of the letter and frowned, but quickly disappeared, not wanting Chen Xueru to notice.

Even if the letter only reports good news and not bad news, it should just say a few words and skip over the matter.

But he is not Chen Xueru, and he knows how big the risks are.

Especially since my son went to the southeastern border area, there are always some small actions on the border.

As the vanguard of the troops, the reconnaissance company often carries out dangerous missions.

Once you go to the battlefield, your life and death are determined by fate, and whether you can survive depends on the blessings of your ancestors.

What's more, in a few years, the situation may change suddenly and a new war may break out.

There couldn't have been no signs before this, and I'm afraid there must have been signs a long time ago.

But he couldn't answer truthfully, as it would only add to his troubles and would not do any other good.

Instead, you should say something to comfort her and try to worry less.

"Xue Ru, relax. There is no war now. Yang Er will just have harder training in the army, but nothing unexpected will happen.

You also know that he has been training with me since he was young, and he is in good shape! Since he was selected to join the reconnaissance company, it means that he is doing well. "

Chen Xueru held his hand tightly, nodded without comment, her eyes wandering, still immersed in her own thoughts.

"Do you think we should let Yang'er come back? The situation is different now, come back and have a stable job.

He is now at the age where he should get married and have children. In his last letter, he mentioned the young nurse he met.

I didn't mention it in this letter, so I don't know what's going on. I'll write to ask now. Or you can get married and come back later."

The more she spoke, the brighter her eyes became. She clapped her hands and was ready to open the drawer, take out the letter paper and write a reply.

A hint of helplessness flashed across He Yuzhu's eyes, and he turned over and held her hand again.

"Don't be impatient! It's not too late to write later.

However, we don't have to make the decision for him in this matter. Let him make it himself.

It is not a good idea to escape when something happens. Even if you force him to come back, he will be ruined. "

Young people are in the period of striving for progress. Forcing them to bow their heads will either make them rebellious or lose their motivation.

The thought of her son becoming a simple-minded person was not what she wanted.

Chen Xueru bit her lip and sighed after pondering for a long time: "Okay! I'm just asking him, I won't force him to come back."

"Xue Ru, don't worry, everything will be fine. Yang Er's division commander is Mr. Zeng's son, and he won't let him suffer any injustice."

He Yuzhu patted the back of her hand and comforted her softly.

There is no need for special care, but having someone overseeing you can save you a lot of trouble.

Chen Xueru smiled, calmed herself down, took out paper and pen, and began to write a letter.

A chair was moved from the side and he stayed quietly by the side.

The next day.

He Yuzhu left work early and rode his bike to Lingjing Hutong.

By the time we entered the yard, it was already evening, with only the setting sun shining across the sky.

"Uncle He, Grandpa is reading in the study. He said you've arrived. Go straight to the study to find him."

The children in the courtyard have changed to a new generation. The one who is speaking is Brother Chen’s son, who is now on vacation and playing at his grandfather’s house.

"Okay! Then you guys have fun, I'll make you something delicious later."

He Yuzhu greeted everyone warmly and touched a few little kids.

"Okay, okay!"

Amidst the cheers, he walked alone towards the study.

Arriving at the familiar door, he knocked and walked in.

Looking up, I saw Chief Chen, whose hair had turned gray, sitting on the sofa and looking at me with a smile.

"Zhu Zi, please do as you please. I won't pour you any tea! Haha~"

He Yuzhu smiled back and quickly walked to the coffee table.

"Look at what you said... After all these years, I won't be polite to you."

As he spoke, he poured himself a glass of water. He was a little thirsty after the journey.

By the way, I opened the lid of the cup in front of Chief Chen and added some water to him.

Commander Chen happily picked up the teacup, pointed to the sofa next to him, and motioned for him to sit down.

"Tell me! No one comes to see you for no reason. What's the matter, kid?"

He Yuzhu sat down, took a big sip of water, and put the teacup back on the table.

"Commander, you are still as sharp as ever! You guessed it before I even said anything."

"Get lost! Don't embarrass yourself in front of me with your little skills.

If you have something to say, say it quickly; if you have something to say, let it go! "

Although Chief Chen was very happy, his words were not at all forgiving.

"Commander, I do have an unwelcome request. I hope you can arrange for me to go to the southwest, preferably to a military hospital."

Seeing He Yuzhu stating his request with a serious face, Chief Chen frowned and looked at him in confusion.

"What are you talking about? With your medical skills, it won't be a problem to arrange for you to go to the hospital.

Over the years, you have only asked me for help because of Xiao Chen. This is your second time, so I will make an exception and make arrangements for you.

But can you tell me why?"

After hearing these words, He Yuzhu's heart finally settled down.

There is nothing to hide about this matter, just answer directly.

"Commander, Jiayang just wrote to me, saying that he was selected to join the reconnaissance company.

I can't let him desert, but as a father, I sent him to the army, and I hope to bring him back.

If he is unlucky, there is nothing else to say. If he is injured, I will pull him back from the brink of death!"

After listening to this, Chief Chen looked solemn and nodded in agreement.

He survived a hail of bullets and experienced countless dangers in his life.

He knew better than anyone the risks facing the reconnaissance troops on the southwestern border.

“Well, I’m relieved that you didn’t ask me to transfer Xiaoyang away.

I will arrange it tomorrow, you just wait for the news at home."
