Chapter 595 Agreed
After delivering the grain to the drying dam, Liu Jingxue returned home with an empty shoulder pole. After taking a quick shower and changing her clothes, she rode her bicycle to the commune.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around halfway, she simply used her spiritual power to propel the bicycle forward rapidly.
After arriving at Secretary Yan's office and speaking only a few words to him, Liu Jingxue called her eldest brother.
It was a male voice that answered the phone, and Liu Jingxue knew it must be the soldier on duty.
"Hello, comrade. Is Captain Liu Jianguo's wife still there? Please ask her to answer the phone."
"Comrade, please wait a moment. Comrade Xie is still waiting outside. I'll let her in right away to answer the phone."
Then, there was the sound of a microphone being gently placed on the table, and the sound of footsteps.
After a while, the microphone was picked up again, and Xie Yumei's slightly anxious voice came.
"Is that you, Xiaoxue?"
"Sister-in-law, it's me.
Sister-in-law, what did the call from my second brother's army say? Is my second brother in serious condition now? "
“They said it was serious, with multiple gunshot wounds.
The bullets in the other parts have been removed through surgery, but one was too close to the heart so the doctor was unsure.
In addition, Jianjun’s condition is very bad now, and he is afraid that he will not be able to survive the operation, so he has not dared to undergo the operation.
The army asked my family to go there quickly. I guess they wanted my family to take care of me, and they also wanted my family to make the decision on whether to have the surgery or not.
To put it bluntly, the third purpose was probably to let his family see him for the last time."
As Xie Yumei spoke, her voice became choked with sobs.
Xie Yumei's father and Liu Weihua had been in the same army for many years. Since Wang Xiulan also had a job and had no time to take care of the children, and Xie Yumei's mother was a full-time housewife, the two families had a good relationship, so she took care of Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianjun's two children at the same time.
Therefore, Xie Yumei and Liu Jianjun grew up together and had a deep relationship. When she heard that Liu Jianjun had an accident, she must have felt bad.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, maybe you are overthinking it, and my second brother's injury is not that serious.
The army simply wanted his family to go over and look after him, and had no intention of allowing anyone to see him for the last time.
Don't panic and scare yourself."
Xie Yumei wiped away the tears that had flowed out of her eyes at some point and said, "You're right, Jianjun will be fine.
Your eldest brother is really something. He usually doesn't go on missions, but why did he go on a mission at this critical moment, leaving us two women to deal with this matter."
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down, "Xiaoxue, have you finished the autumn harvest? Can you spare some time?
If it really doesn't work, then I will entrust Xiaohu to someone else to take care of him for a while, and I will go over there to take care of Jianjun.
I'll call my parents and ask them to come over and pick up Little Tiger from someone else's house."
Now that Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao can look after the cowshed, Liu Jingxue is no longer like before, worried that if she leaves, something might happen to the elders in the cowshed and she would be unable to get away. It is okay for her to leave temporarily for a while.
Besides, his second brother was still waiting for him to save him, so it was impossible for Xie Yumei to go over there. She couldn't save anyone if she went over there.
“Sister-in-law, although the autumn harvest is not over here, it is no problem for me to take leave.
You should stay at home and take care of little Hu. I'll go to my second brother's place. It's better not to disturb Aunt Xie.
You don't have much fighting power, and I'm worried about you traveling far away by yourself. What if you meet bad guys?
Besides, as a sister-in-law, and almost the same age as the second brother, it would be awkward for you to take care of your younger brother-in-law.
Let’s not give others something to talk about.”
In order to make Xie Yumei give up the idea, Liu Jingxue tried her best and found all kinds of excuses.
Liu Jingxue's words were still useful and made Xie Yumei a little shaken.
But she thought of her father-in-law and mother-in-law who still needed Liu Jingxue to take care of them, and she hesitated again, "I'm afraid you can't get away from them, right?"
"It's okay, I've already made arrangements here.
The autumn harvest here will be over in three or four days. After that, there will be nothing to do, so I will just stay at home for the winter.
I have already prepared firewood for the winter, and I can ask the aunts in the team to help with matters such as distributing food and storing vegetables.
I have someone to help me here, so don't worry."
Because she was worried that the phone was being monitored, and this was a government office with people coming and going outside, Liu Jingxue didn't dare to speak too clearly.
Worried about Xie Yumei's reluctance, Liu Jingxue made the final decision, "It's settled. I'll go over to look after my second brother, and you can stay at home and take care of little Tiger.
It's already past four in the afternoon. I'll arrange my things tonight and leave right away.
Sister-in-law, please tell me the address of my second brother and which hospital he is in now."
Xie Yumei quickly reported the address she had written down to Liu Jingxue.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. When I get there, I'll find a place and call you."
Thinking of her uncle and aunt always talking about her eldest brother's family, especially little Huzi, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but feel moved.
My second brother was seriously injured this time, and he will probably need to rest for a while to recuperate. He hasn’t had a home visit leave for a few years. Why not bring him back here to recuperate after he is discharged from the hospital, and let my uncle and aunt see him as well.
If he takes a home visit leave, besides his eldest brother's, he can only come to his place.
The house in Xinshi had been rented out long ago, so he had nowhere to stay even if he went back.
Since my second brother is here, why not let my eldest brother and his family take a home visit leave as well and come here to reunite with my uncle and aunt, so that they don’t have to keep looking at our photos and missing them.
As for where to live after you arrive, there are still vacancies at the educated youth center, and you can rent it for a month or two.
However, if this were to happen, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao would have to hurry up the mountain to get more firewood after the autumn harvest.
Thinking of this, Liu Jingxue asked Xie Yumei, "Sister-in-law, you have been there for more than two years. It should be time for you to take a home visit leave, right?"
"It was OK last year, just."
Xie Yumei didn’t say anything else.
How could Liu Jingxue not understand what she meant.
She smiled faintly and said, "Sister-in-law, my second brother was seriously injured this time, and he will definitely need to rest for a while. I thought I would just bring him back to my place to recuperate.
We haven't seen each other for a few years. Why don't you let your eldest brother take a leave to visit his family and come to my place to reunite."
Liu Jingxue believed that the intelligent Xie Yumei would definitely understand the meaning of her words.
Sure enough, after hearing Liu Jingxue's words, Xie Yumei's heart was moved.
This is not a reunion of brothers and sisters, but a family reunion. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are also there.
As Liu Jianguo's bedmate, how could Xie Yumei not understand his thoughts?
Although at the insistence of his parents-in-law and sister-in-law, he accepted their arrangement and the family of three hid on a remote island, leaving the responsibility of taking care of his parents-in-law to his sister-in-law who lived next door.
But Liu Jianguo has always blamed himself, thinking that he was unworthy of being a son and a brother.
In the past two years, he has never been truly happy.
Although his parents-in-law always said in their letters that they were living well, Liu Jianguo was definitely worried because he had never seen them in person.
If Liu Jianguo knew about my younger sister's proposal, he would definitely be tempted.
"Will we cause you trouble if we go there?"
Seeing Xie Yumei's intention, Liu Jingxue quickly reassured her, "It's not a problem, not at all.
Don't worry about where to live, I have arranged a place for you.
You don’t have to worry about food and supplies; you won’t starve.
It’s just that it’s quite cold here, and you might get cold on the way here, so you should wear a thicker cotton-padded jacket and bring a quilt to keep warm on the way.”
"Okay, although Jianguo is not here, I can make the decision for him. It's settled.
When he comes back from his mission, I will tell him about this and ask him to quickly tell the army about his leave this year.
It would be best if it were during the Spring Festival so we can celebrate together."
