Chapter 123 The Mountain and River Call...1978 Final Chapter 2
"I worked as a scout for him for two years. I just retired and my skills are still there..." Zhang Jiancheng lowered his eyes, apologetic on his face. He paused for a long while, but when he raised his eyes again, he was dignified and serious.
His voice was low but resolute: "I was discharged from the army in January last year. When I left the army, I promised... I will be recalled!"
Of course Xiuxiu knows what this 1979 emergency recall letter means! That’s because there’s going to be a tough battle to fight! She looked at Zhang Jiancheng with deep eyebrows and thought:
If this man had answered the call back then, he must have come back alive, otherwise nothing would have happened later.
But what if he didn't go in the last life because no one was there to look after the children?
If he answered the call in this life because he could entrust his child to her, would he die on the battlefield?
"If you call back, you must come back...there should be half a sentence before it!" Xiuxiu asked, she already knew in her heart that if there was a war! If there is a war! This is 79 years!
She held the letter tightly with trembling hands, and her voice was very deep and slow. She was asking him, but it was more like asking herself: "Can you... come back alive?"
Xiuxiu knew that the big event was a two-month lightning operation. Although victory was declared, there would still be a period of dispersion.
He went to be called back to the army, when he would come back, and whether he would come back alive, there was no impression in her memory, and her prophet could not provide any clues on this matter.
Although Xiu Xiu hated herself for living in a coma in her previous life, it was impossible for a person to remember every moment of her life clearly!
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt extremely sad.
Thinking of the possibility of him dying on the battlefield, she couldn't hold back her tears. She choked and gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "You must...come back alive!"
Zhang Jiancheng looked at her deeply and could only remain silent. Seeing her tears kept falling, he hesitated and slowly raised his hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes.
"The sword has no eyes..." he said: "Whether you can survive in that situation is something I can't guarantee to you!"
He was always serious and stable, and would not even make any useless promises. Xiu Xiu was angrier than before, but also sadder:
"You must come back alive!" She gritted her teeth and said, "Edan is your child, not mine. If you die over there, I will send Dandan away and adopt him to someone else!"
Zhang Jiancheng's eyes suddenly became gentle, as if he didn't care about her threat at all.
He took back the letter in Xiuxiu's hand, lowered his eyes and said, "You haven't opened this letter. You seem to know nothing, but you seem to know everything!"
Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment. She probably knew everything about the letter, but she really didn't know anything about his destiny.
Zhang Jiancheng's words made Xiuxiu feel extremely depressed. She sniffed and asked, "When are you leaving?"
"tomorrow!"
Xiuxiu felt her heart sank to the bottom, but in the face of national justice, whatever decision he made was right. He just came to tell her that even if she could help him take care of his balls, she had no right to decide his life.
Xiuxiu could see that Zhang Jiancheng loved this profession as much as he gained from it. He had no hesitation in facing such a rare recall order, and even more so.
Unshakeable!
The torrent of the times carries every ordinary person forward. Only when someone carries the load in front can the fire of the times continue to burn behind. The destiny given by the times cannot be stopped by personal power.
Xiuxiu wiped her tears and tried to control herself: "Since time is so tight, you should go back and prepare well. From today on, Dandan will stay at my house!"
After saying that, she passed by him and opened the door to leave the house, but Zhang Jiancheng held her hand: "Xiu Xiu!" He looked into her eyes and said, "You will wait for me to come back, right?"
What is this nonsense? Xiuxiu looked into his deep eyes, and she could no longer suppress the feeling of heartbreak and heartache. Her hand was tightly clenched by him, dry and warm, but she bit it and pulled it out. Put down the sentence "You must come back alive first!"
Xiuxiu went to the main room and hugged Dandan into her arms. Dandan looked at Zhang Jiancheng who was following closely, and pouted and said, "Dad, don't go home!"
Zhang Jiancheng pinched the child's face: "You don't have to go home with me today! You have to listen to the adults and don't be naughty, you know?"
Dandan happily stroked Xiuxiu's face and laughed. Seeing that the child didn't even look at him, Zhang Jiancheng grabbed the child's head and said seriously: "Look at me!"
"Why are you yelling at the child again!" Xiuxiu turned around and protected the child on the other side: "Don't we leave tomorrow? Let's talk to the child before we leave tomorrow!" After that, she took the child back to her house.
Feng Laogen said blankly: "What are you going for? Where are you going?"
Feng Dachuan had just entered the house, still feeling cold, and asked: "What happened, brother?"
Zhang Jiancheng looked at Xiuxiu's leaving figure with deep eyes, and then
Then he walked over and closed the door of the main room behind Dachuan.
Xiuxiu placed Dandan on the bed, turned off the lights and coaxed the child to sleep. She shed tears while coaxing her, but she couldn't stop the tears. She felt a little scared.
She knew that the men had been talking late at night in the main room, but she was tired of holding back her tears, so she fell into a drowsy sleep.
There was a hail of gunfire and bullets in her sleep. She suddenly opened her eyes, with tears still hanging in the corners of her eyes. She wiped her face and felt that she missed Zhang Jiancheng a little too deeply.
It was still dark, so she turned around and found paper by her ear. Xiuxiu lay down without daring to turn on the light. She lit the candle on the window sill and opened the paper with a little candlelight. It turned out to be a letter, written by Zhang Jiancheng's steady handwriting. :
"Xiuxiu: I'm leaving! This is not leaving without saying goodbye, I'm just leaving my balls to you alone. I'm so sorry and don't know how to face you two!
However, when mountains and rivers call for orders, soldiers have no choice but to do so! I must go!
If a person's life can be repeated many times, then I will choose to answer the call at this time in every life. Even if I leave my eggs to my sister to take care of, or temporarily adopt someone else, I will answer the call! So you should understand that I will probably be able to come back alive!
All my savings are stored under the cellar of the back room. You can use them at any time. There is a total of 430 eight yuan in cash, and there are ten food stamps and cloth stamps. You can also ask Brother Xiaosheng to help you change them into money. It’s enough for you, don’t work day and night just to make money!
On the table is the Spring Festival gift I originally wanted to give you. Happy New Year Xiuxiu! Be sure to wait for my return! Zhang Jiancheng left a note! "
After reading this letter, Xiu
Xiu had already burst into tears, feeling angry and happy at the same time.
She was angry that Zhang Jiancheng left without saying goodbye, but she was thankful for the content of his message. He said that if he could go back many times in his life, he would choose to answer the call. Then he must have answered the call in his previous life, and he must have left his children in the care of Sister Qinghua to answer the call. .
If that were the case, then he would have come back alive. Otherwise, there would be no tragic life and the legend of the richest man!
When she thought of this, Xiu Xiu felt a lot more at ease after being anxious all night!
