This day was the day of farewell. Li Suhua packed her bags silently, stuffing one after another of the white flour pies that she usually couldn't bear to eat, as if for free.
"Enough!"
"Enough!"
Even though Zhou Zhigang kept saying enough was enough, she still didn't stop moving.
Li Suhua had never been to the southwest. She only knew that her husband would go very far away, so far away that she didn't even know how to get there.
Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Rong, and even Hao Dongmei stood aside silently, and they were all part of the people who saw him off.
"If a poor family has a better road, bring more with you."
Li Suhua had a sad look on her face. Her husband has always been by her side from her marriage to now.
But now, not only is her husband leaving, but her two sons will also leave soon, and her heart is full of reluctance.
Sometimes, she even wonders, why is this happening?
Isn’t it okay to have the whole family reunited by your side?
Even if you live a little poorer or miserable, it doesn't matter.
Although she knew it was wrong to think so, she couldn't help but think so.
Zhou Zhigang pursed his lips, silently patted his wife on the shoulder and gave her an encouraging look.
He is not used to separation either.
After more than 20 years of marriage, this was the first time he was separated from his wife, and he was also not used to it.
But there is no way.
He had to respond to the country's call.
Fortunately, his family made him feel at ease.
Although the eldest son went to the frontier, the eldest son went to serve as a soldier, which is considered a good destination.
Although the place where my younger son goes is in the countryside, it is at least not far from the city. If anything happens, the family can help him to some extent.
Strictly speaking, the younger son's whereabouts are pretty good.
His daughter is what he is most worried about. Girls, as beautiful as they are, always make people worry a little bit.
However, Zhou Rong's destination is the best one.
As a teacher at the primary school affiliated with Hongxing Machinery Factory, being a teacher is already a very good job in ordinary people's homes.
"My child's father, please remember to write back frequently."
After packing her luggage, Li Suhua pursed her lips and finally said what was in her heart.
Although she is illiterate, Zhou Rong is still at home. With her here, she is not afraid of not knowing what is written when a letter comes.
"Um."
Zhou Zhigang nodded, then turned to look at his daughter beside him.
"Rong'er, take good care of your mother from now on."
"Um."
The sadness of parting also affected Zhou Rong. At this moment, her mood was not very high. She drooped her head and felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.
It was also the first time she was separated from her father.
She felt so uncomfortable that she really wanted to cry.
As she thought about it, Zhou Rong's eyes turned red, but she still held back her tears.
"well."
Zhou Zhigang noticed his daughter's emotion, patted Zhou Rong on the shoulder, and sighed helplessly.
Seeing the tears in his daughter's eyes, his heart melted.
It is said that the daughter is the lover in the previous life. Among the several children, Zhou Zhigang's favorite is Zhou Rong.
"Wow!"
After being slapped by her father, Zhou Rong, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally couldn't help crying.
She hugged Zhou Zhigang with a bang, snuggled into his arms, and kept sobbing.
Seeing this scene, Li Suhua also wiped away tears.
If her daughter is reluctant to let go, how can she be willing to let go? It's just that she is a mother and an elder, and her status does not allow her to be so presumptuous.
Infected by the emotion, Zhou Bingyi's eyes also turned red.
"Don't cry, don't cry."
Zhou Zhigang gently patted Zhou Rong's back, coaxing his daughter with red eyes.
Even a tough guy can be soft sometimes.
"Woooooooo..."
Zhou Rong cried for a while before giving up.
After she finished crying, she realized how embarrassed she had just been and noticed the gazes of several people. Her face suddenly turned red and she lowered her head secretly, not daring to look at others.
These days, Feng Huacheng's story has turned upside down.
Although she still thinks of him occasionally, Zhou Rong no longer thinks about going to your province to find him.
Her father, elder brother and younger brother were about to leave, and she and my mother were the only ones left at home. She had no reason to leave, nor did she have the courage.
Sometimes, Zhou Rong would despise herself and despise herself for not being free and easy.
But that's life.
Life is always unsatisfactory. If everything goes as planned, it is no longer life, but fantasy.
"Dad, it's time."
When speaking, Li Suhua's tone was choked with sobs.
Zhou Zhigang's train was at nine o'clock in the morning, and it was already half past seven. If he didn't leave, he would miss the train.
"Um."
Zhou Zhigang lowered his head and glanced at his watch. This was the only watch in his family. This watch was bought when they got married.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Zhigang gently took off his watch, and then put the watch into his youngest son's hand.
"Take this watch. When you get to the farm, it will be easier to know the time if you have a watch."
Li Jie pushed up his watch and looked at Zhou Bingyi.
"I'd better give it to my eldest brother. I asked, and there is a speaker in the village. I won't need a watch when I get there."
"Don't!"
When Zhou Bingyi heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly.
"There are bugles in the army, let alone use them."
Although this is the only watch in the family, he doesn't mind at all when his father gives the watch to his younger brother.
My brother is younger, so he should hold it.
He is the older brother and must give way to his younger brother. This is what he has been taught since he was a child.
"Take it!"
Zhou Zhigang's face was serious, and he pretended to be serious and warned: "When you get to the village, don't be the same as at home."
"Be diligent. If something happens, do it quickly and you won't suffer a loss."
"Um."
Li Jie smiled and nodded. Although he did not fully agree with Zhou Zhigang's philosophy, he did not refute it.
Anyway, as long as he doesn't tell what happened on the farm, his family will definitely not know the details.
"Bingyi, you are the most reassuring to me. You have made me worry-free since I was a child."
Immediately, Zhou Zhigang's eyes moved to his eldest son.
"I won't say anything else. When you arrive in the army and encounter something, remember to think more carefully and don't be impulsive."
"Well, I know."
Zhou Bingyi is the eldest brother in the family, and he has been very sensible since he was a child. Although sometimes he wants to be indulgent, but when he thinks that he is the eldest brother, he quietly takes back his mental arrogance.
A big brother should act like a big brother.
Because of this, in the eyes of his parents, Zhou Bingyi has always been the most sensible child and should hardly be worried about.
After that, Zhou Zhigang looked at his old wife with red eyes.
"My dear, I will come back often if I have the chance."
At this moment, Zhou Zhigang didn't know how difficult it would be to come back. He just told the truth.
There were only two women at home, and he really felt uneasy.
"Um."
Li Suhua nodded silently. When it comes to big issues of right and wrong, she still knows the importance.
