What's on Jasmine's mind- My leader, my regiment follow-up

(One)

Silong was sent to the military academy by the organization to further his studies, and I was finally able to return to Zenda.It was the summer of [-] when I left home, but now it is the beginning of [-].This trip was a bit long, almost half a year has passed, Jasmine should be in a hurry, right?Is she in good health?

It was already night when I returned to Zenda, and the lights in Jasmine’s small courtyard had been turned off.It feels so good to be home.Before going to see Jasmine, I went around the yard, the outhouse and the kitchen.Seeing that everything was still the same, everything was placed where it should be placed, everything was in perfect order and spotless, one knew that Jasmine's life was fine, and there was not much change.When I saw that there were some vegetables in the kitchen and rice and grain in the rice jar, I finally let go and came to Jasmine's dream.

"Jasmine, I'm back. I'll make you wait this time." I looked at her with a flattering smile and said with a guilty conscience.

"You're finally back?! Did you see Bao'er when you went out this time? Is he okay? I haven't received his letter for almost two months, and I'm dying of anxiety. Is there anything wrong with him? How is he? Come on, tell me quickly!" When Jasmine saw me, she had a series of questions waiting for me.

Alas, I sighed softly in my heart, and made up my mind not to tell her about Silong's going to battle and being injured.I put my arms around her waist, gently held her in my arms, and said softly: "Bao'er, don't worry. He is fine and safe now. I have been with him all this time, I have seen his growth. Our child, he has really grown up and knows how to take care of himself and others, so you don’t have to worry about him. I will tell you about his military affairs slowly in the future. Okay?... Conscience of heaven and earth! I didn't lie to you! Why should I coax you?..."

One afternoon a month later, it was an afternoon in early spring, and Jasmine had just sent Chuanchuan and Junjun away.The twin siblings have turned 14 this year, and they are already two very sensible older children.Just now, Hehua sent these two children to bring some local products to Jasmine, and Chuanchuan is learning how to knit sweaters with Jasmine recently, so this period of time comes very frequently.

After the children left, Molly received a small package from the postman.As soon as she saw the familiar font on the package, she immediately became cautious.She carefully opened the package and took out two cans of tea, a military medal and certificate of meritorious service, a photo and a thick letter.

Jasmine was reading the letter, while I carefully looked at the unpacked package.The two cans of tea are Biluochun, a special product in the south of the Yangtze River; the military medal is a second-class merit medal; the photo is a full-body photo of Silong standing in front of a university; there is an unfamiliar address written on the cover : Nanjing PLA University of Science and Technology

It seems that Silong has already reported to the school. I didn't expect this military academy to be in Nanjing!I thought of the most painful experience I had in Nanjing, the past that was dusty in my memory. I thought I had forgotten it, but in fact it has always been in the depths of my memory and has never been deleted.That was at the end of 1937, that hellish Nanjing.

I shook my head, temporarily putting aside that heavy memory, and my thoughts floated back to my eyes.Jasmine is engrossed in reading this long-awaited letter, should I wait for her to finish reading it?Not knowing what Silong would write in the letter, I couldn't help being curious, so I quietly came behind Jasmine and read it.

dear mother,

I haven't written to you for a while, is it worrying you again?

Some time ago, I went to perform a mission. Since this mission is more important and needs to be kept secret, I have never written to you.Now, I have completed my mission and have been sent to the military academy to study by the organization, and I am writing this letter to you in school.

Our school is in the city of Nanjing. It was the first time I came to Jiangnan, and everything I saw was very fresh.Because I have a lot of homework, I have been in school for almost a month, and I have only been out of school once, to help you buy your favorite Biluochun tea. Have you tried it or is it the original taste?

Also, this meritorious service certificate and military medal were obtained after completing the mission this time.This mission is very dangerous. I didn't want to tell you at first, but after thinking about it for a long time, I still want to tell you about my thrilling experience during this mission.

……

Seeing this, I secretly screamed "not good" in my heart, it seems that the paper is covering the fire.Why does this little bastard have to tell his mother everything?Sigh, I also helped you hide the embarrassing thing about going to battle to kill the enemy but being injured by the enemy, did you say it yourself?I'm going to make your mother sad again for no reason!

When I was annoyed, I saw that the letter had been turned over, and Jasmine was concentrating on the content on the next page. I scratched my scalp, thinking that at night, Jasmine would probably ask me why I didn’t tell my son was injured. She, I'd better think about the excuse first, and find a good reason before I say it.

This silly child, since he was a child, did he have to tell his mother if he got hurt a little bit? ?I had countless thoughts in my mind, and I didn't bother to read the following content for a while.

At this time, Jasmine had already finished reading the last page of the letter, but her gaze stayed on the letter as if possessed, and she refused to move away for a long time, and at the same time, she thought of something on her mind in a daze.

Suddenly, she seemed to come to her senses, she spread the letter paper on the table, put her hands together, and muttered silently: "Article, article, are you by my side?

Come quickly and read the letter written by your son!He finally realized his mistake, and he finally apologized to you.Where are you?Come back soon!

Why didn't you tell me anything when you came back?Don't tell me that Bao'er is on the battlefield, or that he is injured and almost can't go home?

Why do you have to carry everything by yourself?Why don't you tell me what you have done for Bao'er? ? ..."

As we spoke, a tear, tears of joy and sorrow, fell down and onto the letter paper.

Following the pen writing blurred by tears, I saw the following text:

"Just when I picked up my platoon leader, the wounds all over my body made me twitch, and my mind was a mess, I saw my father standing in front of me. He was still wearing that suit Eye-catching clothes, he smiled at me and said he would take me out of the minefield. I thought to myself, I must have fainted from the pain! Hallucinations? Didn’t my father die a long time ago? But, the figure of my father It was so clear, I couldn't help but followed him step by step. Along the way, I also saw some vague figures, those seemed to be my father's brothers, the ones that appeared in my childhood dreams Uncle and Uncle. However, their faces are very vague, and they seem to be talking to me, but I can't hear them clearly.

I just saw my dad, saw him leading me the way, and looked back at me with concern from time to time.His face is so clear, it is exactly the same as in that photo.The most memorable thing is his eyes. The way he looked at me was so kind, wise, sad, and contained countless unspeakable and unspeakable secrets.

Strange to say, when I saw his eyes and the way he looked at me, my body didn't hurt much, and I also had strength. He made me feel that as long as I followed him and walked step by step, I would be able to There will be hope of life, he will take me home, back to your side..."

Seeing this, my eyes were a little blurred, I couldn't help but frowned, and continued to read:

"Later, we finally walked out of the forest, far away from the minefield, and our camp was in front of us. At this time, I was too tired to speak. I looked at my father and had hundreds of questions in my mind. He, but I knew that was not the time to talk, I had to go back to the camp as soon as possible to save my platoon leader. At that time, all I thought was, no matter what my father did or what kind of person he was, I You don’t need to ask. At least I can already feel a little bit from his eyes, that is, he loves me, and that kind of love has always existed, but I have always been too slow to feel it.

At that time, I looked at him, and I really wanted to say 'I'm sorry' to him, to apologize to him for the disobedient and unfilial things I said.But before I could say it, he disappeared.This incident made me regret and blame myself for a long time.

Mother, whether I should tell you about this matter, I have actually thought about it for a long time.However, every time I think of my father, I will think of the dispute with you before I left home, which makes me dare not think about it.Later, after seeing my father on that battlefield, I realized that you had something to hide, because this unspeakable difficulty was clearly written in the way my father looked at me.I'm not going to ask any more questions about my dad now.Wait until one day, when you feel that you can really tell me, you can talk about it.Now, I don't demand to know everything, I just know that my father is an amazing person, he is the father who loves me the most, that's enough.He is my protector on the battlefield, and he has always been protecting us!

Mom, let me say one last thing, I want to say 'I'm sorry, I was wrong' to my father, if I can't tell my father, then I will tell my mother first.I hope my father's spirit in heaven can hear it.Also, I really want to tell him that I miss him so much!
