Chapter 098
The situation between Shi Danling and Erwa Zhou Jiming, if it started from that Spring Festival when they sat around and lit fire-powder together, it was obviously a bit too early. At that time, they didn’t think that there would be any ties in the future.
The real story between them began when Shui Danling went to the countryside to join a traveling medical team after graduation.
Not long after she arrived, she met Zhou Jiming, who was also there, and was already an officer in the army.
Because the service Danling did not know Erwa’s name, the time spent together during the New Year’s Eve when she was a child was short, and Erwa did not remember her name, so she and Erwa did not recognize each other. But the two were more compatible, and in those two years, Erwa had always taken better care of Shui Danling.
Until the end of the service Danling ready to come back to the countryside, before she left, she and Erwa in a good chat together, talk about a lot of things that usually do not have the opportunity to talk about in detail, the two only realized that they have known each other for a long time.
The two realized that they had known each other for a long time. After Serving Danling came back, she kept in touch with Erwa by letter.
Because of the ambiguous but not determined relationship, so the service Danling did not mention Erwa with the family.
Until this year, Erwa transferred to Xicheng, the two formalized their relationship.
After determining the relationship, the two are discussing to meet the parents to prepare for the marriage of this matter, so take advantage of Zhong Minfen this birthday, the service Danling to the two children to bring back.
Originally, the family was still apprehensive, do not know what kind of object service Danling found.
Now see the object is they know the roots of the second child, family good job good man looks is also considered decent, and then listen to the story between him and service Danling, the family naturally all at ease.
Originally, Zhong Minfen was the main character tonight.
But because of the arrival of Erwa, most of the conversation centered on Erwa and Shi Danling.
After talking about how they got together, they naturally talked about when they were going to get married.
In this day and age, being in a committed relationship means being ready to get married.
Shi Danling said, “We’re going to get the marriage license first, and then we’ll set aside three times to have a banquet in three places: Xicheng, Ji Ming’s parents’ side, and our hometown.”
With them being so far away from each other, there was really no way they could perform the marriage ceremony in one day.
Since they had already made their plans, then they, as parents, would just follow and cooperate.
After finishing the marriage matters, Servant Huai Ming asked Second Child Zhou Jiming, “How are your parents now?”
Zhou Jiming said, “My parents are still the same, no big changes, pretty good.”
Over the years, there have been no major changes, which is a good thing.
Serving Huai Ming drinking with Zhou Jiming: “Quite good is good.”
***
As planned, Servant Danling and Erwa finished the marriage before the year ended.
The two first set up a few tables of food in Xicheng, then went to the military district where Lao Zhou was, and finally to the countryside Baiyun brigade.
Going to the Baiyun Brigade to set up a banquet was arranged at the end of the year.
Serving Danling and Zhou Jiming asked the unit for a few days’ leave, intending to return to the countryside earlier.
On the day of the leave, it was snowing heavily in Xicheng.
The two men took their leave and went to the compound together, braving the snow.
Their intention was to go here to talk to Zhong Minfen and the girls, and then go back to the countryside the next day.
By the time they arrived at the compound, the snow had lightened up a bit.
The two of them entered the alleyway side by side, and just as they reached the gate of Ah Wen’s house, they suddenly saw Xingyu running out of the courtyard.
When he saw Shi Danling and Zhou Jiming, he looked as if he had seen a savior and said in a hurried voice, “Sister, brother-in-law, Grandma suddenly fainted!”
Hearing this, Servant Danling and Zhou Jiming’s faces flushed at the same time and hurriedly went to the courtyard.
Going in and seeing the fainted Zhong Minfen, Zhou Jiming carried her up without saying a word and hurriedly sent her to the hospital.
It was still snowing outside, and Servant Danling wrapped a thick scarf around Zhong Minfen’s head.
Dantong and Xingyu followed behind, the four of them looking as anxious as their footsteps.
After leaving the hutong, Dantong said to Xingyu, “Let’s split up, you go find dad, I’ll go find mom.”
Xingyu answered and ran off, his feet slipped a little and almost didn’t stand still, after standing steady, he continued to run wildly again.
***
When Shi Huaiming and Zhen Zhen rushed to the hospital with Dantong Xingyu, Zhong Minfen was already lying down in the ward and regained a little consciousness.
Servant Huai Ming took her hand next to him and asked her, “Mother, how are you feeling?”
Zhong Minfen lay on the hospital bed and slowly blinked her eyes, calling out in a weak voice, “Huai Ming ……”
Servant Huai Ming held Zhong Minfen’s hand and hurriedly answered, “Mother, I’m here, what do you want?”
Zhong Minfen blinked again for a while, then uttered, “I want to go home ……”
Serving Huai Ming said, “Wait for the hospital test results to come out, nothing we will go home.”
Zhong Minfen looked at him and gently shook her head, still saying, “I want to go home ……”
Zhen Zhen seemed to understand what she meant, her throat went dry, and she asked out loud in the middle of the day, “Mother, you want to go back to the Baiyun brigade?”
Zhong Minfen blinked, and after another moment’s interval responded, “Well …… going home ……”
***
After the hospital test results came out, the doctor shook his head.
After returning home, Squire Huai Ming and Zhen Zhen packed packages for Zhong Minfen.
Standing on the platform of the train station, blowing in the cold winter wind, Zhen Zhen and Servant Huai Ming told Servant Danling and Zhou Jiming a thousand times, “On the road must take care of grandma, understand?”
Shui Danling and Zhou Jiming repeatedly promised, “Third Uncle and Third Aunt, don’t worry.”
They were both in their twenties and were no longer children, so they could still do this well.
But Zhen Zhen and Shui Huaiming could not really rest assured, watching Shui Danling Zhou Jiming help Zhong Minfen onto the train, they still followed and said, “Take good care of grandma, and don’t leave her by her side even for a single step.”
Waiting for the train in the line of sight away, the two hearts are still lifted.
Swaying in this cold, chilly wind, fluttering.
***
After three months of the two hearts hanging and fluttering, they finally fell and hit the ground.
In April, the service Huai Zhong sent a telegram from the countryside – [Mother is seriously ill].

On the way back by train, Zhen Zhen kept looking out the window silently.
The scenery outside the window kept receding, like the years of one’s life that kept passing by.
How can we learn to say goodbye?
It seems that no matter how many times we experience separation, we still can’t learn to face goodbye.
This last face.
How in the world are we going to see each other?
***
The day Zhong Minfen’s funeral ended, the sky was as dark as lead.
Zhen Zhen and Servant Huai Ming stood side by side in front of the tomb, raised their eyes, suddenly saw the wilderness sky, the sun broke through the deep dark clouds, one strand after another sprinkled down, illuminating half of the sky.
Although it is necessary to break all feudal superstitions.
But Jen still believes – that is the way one goes to heaven.
***
September into fall.
Just after a heavy rain, the sky is as blue as new as washed.
The whole city was wet, and the sun revealed the clouds, illuminating every wet and dark corner.
On the way out of school, a girl pointed to the sky and shouted, “Look, there’s a rainbow!”
Hearing this shout, everyone turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw a curved rainbow hanging in the sky.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful.”
“So there really is a rainbow in this world.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a rainbow since I grew up.”
……
Dantong and Xingyu were also in the group and naturally saw this beautiful rainbow.
When they returned home for dinner in the evening, Xingyu excitedly asked Zhen Zhen and Shi Huai Ming, “Mom and Dad, did you see the rainbow in the sky today? It was a long one, semi-circular, and especially pretty.”
After hearing Xingyu’s words, Zhen Zhen expressed her regret, “Really? I didn’t notice.”
Servant Huai Ming also said, “I didn’t see it either, but you guys are still blessed with eyes.”
Xing Yu smiled again and said, “When a rainbow appears in the sky, something good is definitely going to happen.”
Dantong said to him, “Don’t talk nonsense, this is a feudal superstition.”
Xingyu bristled and didn’t say anything else.
Servant Huai Ming looked at him and suddenly spoke again, “Don’t tell me, something good is really going to happen.”
Originally, he hadn’t planned to say anything, but now that the words were out there, he thought it would be fine to say it.
Zhen Zhen Dantong and Xing Yu were curious and looked at Shi Huai Ming.
Xing Yu asked, “Dad, what good thing?”
Servant Huai Ming cleared his throat, then looked at Zhen Zhen and said, “The organization has decided to grant He Shuo vindication, the written notice will probably be sent out in the next few days, and in less than a week, He Shuo should be able to come out.”
After hearing this, Zhen Zhen froze violently and didn’t move for a long time.
She wasn’t as calm as Servant Huai Ming, and her heart was jumping into her throat at this instant.
She even thought if she was hallucinating, gulping to stabilize her breath, she asked again, “What did you say?”
Xingyu and Dantong didn’t have many emotional ups and downs about this, after all, they were still very young at the time.
Dantong looked at Zhen Zhen and said, “Dad said that Zi Yan’s brother’s father, was vindicated.”
Xingyu followed and picked up, “He’ll be released in less than a week.”
Zhen Zhen naturally heard it clearly, but she still didn’t know how to express her feelings.
Or rather, she couldn’t even tell herself what she was feeling right now.
Wanting to cry and laugh again, it was a mess.
Servant Huai Ming told her and Dantong Xingyu again, “The written notice hasn’t come out yet, don’t go out and talk nonsense yet.”
Zhen Zhen and Dan Tong Xing Yu nodded their heads together, “Uh, definitely don’t say anything.”
Zhen Zhen sniffled, making her face show more of a smile.
***
Five days later.
Li Shuang sat in front of the house washing clothes.
The clothes in the basin were all gray fabrics that had been washed to a slightly white color.
Wringing out one piece and putting it in the small enameled basin next to her, she suddenly heard someone call her, “Li Shuang.”
Li Shuang raised her head to see Director Lu, busy wiping a hand to get up and said, “Director Lu, what are you looking for me?”
“Good thing good thing, big good thing.”
Director Lu smiled and said, “I’m not going to talk to you first, you go to the Revolutionary Committee to find Director Xia, you’ll know when you arrive.”
Director Lu didn’t say anything, so naturally Li Shuang didn’t ask.
She threw her unwashed clothes at the door and headed directly to the Revolutionary Committee.
When she arrived outside Director Xia’s office, she knocked on the door and went in, asking with a smile, “Director Xia, what are you looking for me for?”
Director Xia didn’t beat around the bush with her, directly looked at her and said, “Recently, the organization has decided to vindicate Comrade He Shuo, it just so happens that the notification from the top was sent down today, so I’m looking for you to take a look.”
Hearing this, Li Shuang suddenly froze, looking at Director Xia frozen.
These days she had actually heard some rumors, but she had never been able to believe it.
Even now, when she heard Director Xia say that the written notice had come down, she still couldn’t believe it.
Seeing her froze, Director Xia raised his hand and knocked on the table.
Knocking Li Shuang back to her senses, he pushed the notice in front of Li Shuang and asked her to look at it.
Li Shuang answered and hurriedly lowered her head to read it.
When she looked at it, she was still confused, and after reading it, she also looked like she had lost her soul, and said somewhat incoherently, “That …… Director Xia …… this …… is …… this notice …… can you let me take it away?”
Although she finished reading it, she was still a little disbelieving.
Director Xia looked at her and said, “This can’t be done, this is the only notice sent down from above.”
Li Shuang is still at a loss for words confused look, chaotic for a while and said, “That …… that …… that you can not give me a piece of paper and pen, I …… I copy it okay? OK …… OK?”
Seeing her like this, Director Xia gently sucked in his breath and brought her paper and pen.
He stood up from the chair, toward the sofa side, and Li Shuang said, “You sit on my that copy it.”
Li Shuang said, “No …… no, I can copy standing.”
Director Xia: “Sitting and copying can be faster.”
Li Shuang naturally embarrassed to delay Director Xia’s time.
She went to his chair and sat down, picked up the pen and pulled the cap off, flattened the red grid letter paper, according to the stamped notice, one word by one word to copy down.
When she finished copying the headline she seemed to react a little, and her eyes wetted violently.
Then she pinched the pen to copy down, tears fell uncontrollably one by one, tears fell on the letter paper, she sniffled a bit and hastily wiped it with her sleeve, realizing that she couldn’t control it, she avoided her body backward, while copying while falling tears.
Tears condensed on her chin and fell down, silently smashing the wet surface.
