Traveling through the 1970s

Chapter 217 Loyalty and Filial Piety Have Been Difficult Since Ancient Times 2

Han Yunya is preparing for the Chinese New Year. Since it is her first time to celebrate the New Year away from home, she is quite enthusiastic.

Suddenly a figure rushed in. Han Yunya subconsciously wanted to throw the person out, but she suppressed herself because she saw that it was Zhan Xuan.

Lu Zhanxuan hugged Han Yunya's waist and started crying, "wawawa..."

Although Han Yunya was not used to being held like this, she quite liked Zhanxuan, so she asked patiently: "What's wrong with Zhanxuan? Did anyone bully you? Don't cry, tell me slowly."

"Aunt Xiaoxiao, I don't have a father anymore, wuwuwu... I don't have a father anymore."

The little guy sobbed and hugged Han Yunya's waist tightly. Now he just wanted to stay in the arms of this person who gave him warmth.

Just now, he was at school and was told by his uncle that his father had died and he would never see his father again.

Han Yunya was stunned for a moment, then squatted down, hugged Zhanxuan in her arms, and let him cry in her arms.

Han Yunya didn't know how to comfort him. He had no mother to begin with, and now God was playing another joke on him. Captain Lu had died.

He is less than nine years old. What should he do? His stepmother will definitely not treat him well. Life is not easy for everyone in the family now. Can he really live a good life if he goes back?

Would his grandparents really... Han Yunya didn't dare to think about it too much.

She hugged Zhanxuan tightly, hoping that her warm embrace could give him some warmth and comfort his young heart.

"Zhanxuan, auntie will accompany you to see dad, okay?"

"Aunt Xiaoxiao, I don't have a father anymore."

"Zhanxuan, your father is a hero. He fought for the country and for us. He is your pride."

Han Yunya couldn't continue. She didn't know what words to use to comfort this little child. No matter how many high-sounding words she said, his father had already sacrificed himself.

Han Yunya is not good at comforting others because she said those high-sounding words. She can only hug Lu Zhanxuan silently so that he can feel a little warmth.

"Aunt Xiaoxiao, I know everything. Dad said he was a soldier, and a soldier must have a spirit of selfless dedication and be prepared to make sacrifices. But I don't have a father anymore." Lu Xuan said while crying.

My mother is gone, and now my father is gone too. I will have no relatives from now on.

When Qian Duoduo and Xu Yun ran over, Liu Zhenhai followed behind them. When they saw Lu Zhanxuan being held by Han Yunya, they wiped their tears silently.

When they saw Zhan Xuan running away, they followed him. They didn't expect that the boy came to find Xiaoxiao. Seeing Zhan Xuan, who had not cried since hearing about Captain Lu's sacrifice, lying in Han Yunya's arms and crying heart-wrenchingly, Qian Duoduo and the others couldn't help but shed tears.

It is normal and inevitable for soldiers to sacrifice while on missions. This is why military wives can't help but worry every time their husbands go on a mission.

Soldiers use their sweat and perseverance to interpret their loyalty to the country and the people. They train day and night, constantly improving their physical fitness and combat skills to protect the safety of the motherland and the people. No matter how cold or hot it is, no matter how many difficulties they face, they will firmly complete every task and prove their value with practical actions.

Soldiers, in the sacred mission of defending the country, practice the lofty belief of obeying the party's command with practical actions.

Soldiers, they build the motherland's borders with their flesh and blood, and guard our homes with loyalty and faith.

For the prosperity of the country and the peace of the people, they dedicated their youth and lives to the motherland and the people without hesitation.

But they are also the sons of their parents, the husbands of their wives, the fathers of their children, and they are the pillars of a family.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial!!!

Even with government pensions, the children are the ones who suffer the most.

Han Yunya accompanied Lu Zhanxuan to the farewell ceremony and also saw Lu Zhanxuan's stepmother.

That woman didn't care about Captain Lu's funeral, nor about Lu Zhanxuan's upbringing. She only cared about Captain Lu's pension. This made many people frown.

Han Yunya pulled Yu Qingmei closer and whispered to her, "Aunt, if we give all the pension to her, how will Zhanxuan live in the future?"

After looking at Han Yunya, Yu Qingmei had no choice. The country had regulations that Xiao Zhanxuan should be taken care of by the country.

Han Yunya has read too many novels on this subject. If this woman gets the pension, Zhan Xuan won't be able to spend a single cent.

Even if the state pays Zhanxuan a pension on time every month, he may not be able to spend it. The living conditions in the countryside are there, and his grandparents have more than one grandson.

After all, he is still young and needs a guardian to take care of him. His grandparents and stepmother are his best guardians. For the pension, many people can do anything.

One look at this woman and you can imagine what is happening. In her eyes, there is only the pension and nothing else.

I am really worried about Lu Zhanxuan's future.

Yu Qingmei patted Han Yunya's little hand and whispered.

"Xiaoxiao, I will tell your uncle about this matter. Maybe there is a way to have the best of both worlds."

They could all see that the woman would not treat Zhan Xuan well. She was like that even when Captain Lu was around, not to mention that Captain Lu was still...

It seems that we need to come up with an idea.

Since his father died, Lu Zhanxuan has not returned to their home. He stays in Gu Jiangzhou's house with the things his father left him.

The final pension was given to that woman, but the money everyone collected was given to Lu Zhanxuan without letting the woman know.

The night before sending Lu Zhanxuan and his companions off the island, Han Yunya prepared a lot of things for Lu Zhanxuan, including food, clothes, and other useful things.

Yu Qingmei, Qian Duoduo and many other military wives prepared things for Lu Zhanxuan.

In the evening, Lu Zhanxuan found Han Yunya and handed the box he had been holding to Han Yunya.

"Zhanxuan, did you ask your aunt to keep this box for you?"

Lu Zhanxuan said firmly: "Aunt Xiaoxiao, please help me keep this box and the things inside."

"Why? This is what your father left you, and the money everyone else has collected for you."

Lu Zhanxuan hesitated for a moment, looked at Han Yunya, and his eyes turned red again.

"Aunt Xiaoxiao, my father is my grandfather's third son. My father is not at home all year round, and his relationship with my grandparents is not as good as that with the uncles and aunts in the family. And his relationship with me is even less than that with the grandchildren raised by my grandparents."

Lu Zhanxuan did not tell Han Yunya that every time he went back to his grandparents' house, his grandparents, uncles, aunts and aunts would be very nice to him in front of his father, but as soon as his father couldn't see, they would change their faces.

If he took these things back to his hometown, he would have nothing left.

He is now nine years old. As long as he survives ten years, he can get back everything that belongs to him from Little Auntie. He believes that Little Auntie will help him keep these things safe.

"Okay, Auntie Xiaoxiao will keep it for you and wait for you to pick it up."

Zhan Xuan had said this, if Han Yunya still didn't understand, she would be really stupid. Besides, she, Han Yunya, was not stupid, so she knew that if Zhan Xuan took these things back, he wouldn't be able to keep them, so it would be better to keep them with her and give them to him later.

She put the amulet she had prepared, a yellow silk amulet hanging from a red string, around Lu Zhanxuan's neck.

"Zhanxuan, this is the amulet that Auntie Xiaoxiao made for you. Remember to keep it with you. If one day you are desperate, open the amulet."

Lu Zhanxuan held the amulet in his hand, knowing that there was a way out left for him by Aunt Xiaoxiao.

"Auntie Xiaoxiao, I will definitely take good care of you."

The next day, Han Yunya sent Lu Zhanxuan on board, squatted in front of Lu Zhanxuan, and handed him the pills she had prepared.

She leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Zhanxuan, this pill can improve your physical fitness, use it well. Auntie Xiaoxiao is here waiting for you to come back."

Lu Zhanxuan nodded while crying. He remembered that he would live well. He wanted to be a soldier like his father. He wanted to come to the military camp to find Aunt Xiaoxiao.

"Aunt Xiaoxiao, remember to write to me."

"I will."

When she watched the child who had been with her for a year get on the boat and slowly leave, Han Yunya lay in Qian Duoduo's arms and cried.

"Zhanxuan, Zhanxuan..." Liu Zhenhai ran over from a distance, holding a warship made of a bullet shell in his hand.

Seeing that the ship had left, Liu Zhenhai cried.
