The next day, the two of them went to the military post office to send back the things and money they had bought for their families.
After registering, he went back. After that, he suddenly felt a sense of relaxation.
Five days later, the postman finally arrived at the village where Zhao Tiezhu's family lived. At this time, his mother was working in the rented field with his younger siblings.
There was a big landlord in this village, but it was not bad. There was no serious exploitation. However, this village was already quite poor and had to pay rent, so the people in this village did not live very well.
It would be good enough if he could guarantee that he would not starve to death.
Zhao Tiezhu's family was indeed the poorest family in the village. The main reason was that his father had passed away early, so the family had lost their main labor force. Now, his younger brother was only 17 years old, and he could barely support the family.
The children looked at their mother's absent-minded look and knew that she was thinking about their eldest brother again. Their eldest brother had been very good to them since they were young. If there was anything to eat, he would always be the first to give it to them. However, those hateful soldiers suddenly pulled him away, leaving only the few of them behind. Their father had left. They originally thought that their eldest brother was still around, but one day, their eldest brother was also pulled away. The world of these children collapsed.
If the pillar of the family was gone, who would support the family?
Who could?
This was the helplessness of this era.
Life had to continue. Although life had started to get better in the past few years, at least the family did not often go hungry. Although they still drank diluted food, at least they had food.
However, they still couldn't help but think of their big brother who treated them very well.
Perhaps he was already…
Just as they were preparing to continue harvesting the rice in the field, they heard the voice of their neighbor behind them.
"Erzhu's mother, stop for a moment. Someone is looking for you.”
Zhao Tiezhu's mother, who was still busy, replied,
"Someone is looking for me? Who is it!"
"Oh, I'll go now. Er Zhu, Da Ya, Er Ya, San Ya, you guys should come too. Maybe it's a letter from your big brother. Your big brother has sent a letter. Pack your things and come with me. Your big brother has finally sent a letter. Hahaha!"
Zhao Tiezhu's mother was excited when she heard the news. Tears flowed down her face. It had been seven years, a full seven years. Her son had finally written to her. At least it proved that he was still alive, right? It was enough as long as he was still alive.
The children were also crying. Their big brother was still alive.
The few of them followed their neighbors and ran home quickly. They were afraid that if they were too slow, the messenger would leave, and their hope would be broken.
When they reached home, they saw three people wearing the postman's uniform of this era standing in front of their house with big and small bags on their backs. They were surrounded by people of all sizes in the village. The village was only so big, and the villagers were usually on good terms with each other. They came to watch the fun and wanted to know if their relatives had sent letters.
Unfortunately, Zhao Tiezhu was the only one in the original 1st Brigade, so they could only be disappointed.
However, he was still happy for Zhao Tiezhu's family. At least someone was still alive. Perhaps his family members were not in the same army as him, so he did not send a letter. However, they were all from the same village and would be happy for each other.
Seeing Zhao Tiezhu's family running over, the postman felt that he was really doing a very important job.
Looking at the three people in front of her, Zhao Tiezhu's mother stopped the postman who was about to speak and silently led them home.
The surrounding villagers also went in together, afraid that something would happen. After all, there was good news and bad news.
The villagers who were dragged away knew what would happen.
After they entered the house, Zhao Tiezhu's mother did not let them speak and silently poured water for them.
After they drank it, they asked him about his son in a trembling voice.
It was only when the postman said that Zhao Tiezhu was still alive that smiles bloomed on their faces. Tears kept flowing down their faces.
Knowing this was enough. What else was important?
As long as he was still alive, it was enough.
Nothing was more important than this.
No, he didn't.
After that, the two people behind the postman told him about Zhao Tiezhu's recent situation.
"Aunty, let these two officers handle Zhao Tiezhu's matter.”
"Aunty, Zhao Tiezhu is now a soldier in Panzhi Hua County. He was originally a soldier in the 1st Brigade under Commander Liu. After we fought with them, many soldiers from the 1st Brigade joined our Panzhi Hua County. He performed well in the army and was often praised by his direct superior. We have a chance to send a letter to our family once a year. He has been a soldier in our Panzhi Hua County for more than a year. This year, he sent a letter to his family and many things he bought for his younger brothers and sisters in Panzhi Hua County. And his salary for this year…。。。”
The accompanying soldiers told Zhao Tiezhu's family about his recent situation in detail.
The surrounding villagers were on the verge of tears. The accompanying soldiers had described it so vividly that they knew how colorful Zhao Tiezhu's experiences had been over the past year. They also wondered if their relatives would be the same.
At this moment, the postman knew that it was time for him to speak.
"Auntie, Zhao Tiezhu's performance is very good, you should be happy. "Look, these are the things he bought for you and your siblings." The postman turned around and took out the things that Zhao Tiezhu bought.
Looking at the things in front of them, Zhao Tiezhu's family realized that Zhao Tiezhu had performed very well in the army.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have the money to buy so many good things. Most importantly, there were ten bags of white refined salt. This wasn't something that ordinary people in this era could afford.
In addition, his comrades knew about him, so they bought him a lot of good things and asked him to send them back.
Zhao Tiezhu's family was shocked to see so many things.
These things were not affordable for ordinary people. Even the landlord in the village did not have them.
The villagers 'eyes bulged out of their sockets. They all thought that Zhao Tiezhu had become a high-ranking official. They were both happy and envious for Zhao Tiezhu's family.
He took out a big bag of salt and distributed it to the villagers.
In addition, she was very happy today. Not only was her son alive, but he was also living a good life.
After everyone left, the postman told them the message that Zhao Tiezhu had brought, causing them to cry again.
She then gave the salary that Zhao Tiezhu had sent to her mother. Seeing this, Zhao Tiezhu's family was shocked. This was 40 yuan. They had never seen so much money in their lives, but this was only a year's salary for their son.
What kind of soldier was his son?
However, what made her gratified was that her son still remembered her family and his younger siblings. Her son had not changed, and her heart that was always hanging in her heart was finally relieved.
His younger siblings were also very happy. Big Brother was very powerful and did not forget about them.
Even though the lotus flower had already planted deep feelings for him.
However, he could finally propose openly.
She was also deeply grateful to her brother.
