Seeing that Lin Changsheng had put away his shoes, Zhang Lanfang swallowed her words and said,""There are slippers in the shoe cabinet. After you put them on, go to the living room and sit down. I'll put the things in my hands back into the kitchen.”
"Hey." Lin Changsheng nodded and followed Zhang Lanfang's instructions.
Not long after he sat on the sofa, Li Meng came over with three cups of tea and placed one of them in front of him.
"Platoon Leader Lin, have some tea."
"Okay, thank you. Don't you have to go to work? If he was in a hurry, he would go first.”
"No need. I'll call the station later. There's nothing going on recently, so I should be able to take half a day off.”
Li Meng sized up Lin Changsheng again.
To be honest, she was worried about Lin Changsheng.
His younger brother's sacrifice caused his mother, Zhang Lanfang, to be overly sad, and her physical condition became somewhat bad.
Even if the local higher-ups invited a Chinese medicine expert, it was useless. They only prescribed some medicine to nurse her body and told her not to make her mother angry.
Because this was a mental illness.
In the words of Western medicine, the successive deaths of her husband and son had caused serious psychological trauma to this woman. This situation was very, very difficult to treat.
In order to let her mother, Zhang Lanfang, get rid of her sadness as soon as possible, she changed her usual behavior and smiled all day long. She often acted cute and occasionally gave her a kiss.
After half a year, Zhang Lanfang finally regained her smile, and her face looked much better.
However, at this moment, Lin Changsheng, the platoon leader of his younger brother, appeared.
Li Meng was really afraid. She was afraid that she would mention her brother and agitate her mother.
As for the handwriting left by her brother at the turn table, Li Meng had wanted to erase it after the expert had diagnosed it.
However, she was afraid that rashly erasing her brother's traces would agitate her mother, so she slowly dispelled this idea.
As for the wall…it was painted by the community when his brother died. It was mainly to promote heroic deeds.
At that time, she was in a state of sadness, so how could she care about this?
Lin Changsheng could feel Li Meng's gaze on him. He just picked up the teacup and drank it without any reaction.
"Have you eaten breakfast?"
Zhang Lanfang walked out of the kitchen and asked.
"Yes, I ate it on the way.”Lin Changsheng quickly replied.
"That's good. I was thinking that if you didn't eat, you could eat some at home. By the way, why are you free to come over today?”
"The higher-ups gave me a few days off, so I thought I'd come over to take a look…"
Lin Changsheng answered in a restrained manner.
He didn't know how to face Little Shunzi's family, although he couldn't be blamed for Little Shunzi's sacrifice.
However, just as he had always said, Xiao Shunzi was his subordinate. As Xiao Shunzi's platoon leader, he was responsible for not bringing Xiao Shunzi back alive.
Zhang Lanfang obviously saw Lin Changsheng's restraint. After thinking for a while, she said,""Xiao Lin, can I call you that?”
"Yes, Auntie. You can call me anything.”Lin Changsheng quickly nodded.
"Well, since you're here today, I'll have a chat with you. Actually, you don't have to blame yourself for what happened to Little Shun.”
"Since he chose to join the army, he naturally has to bear the responsibilities that he should bear. His father and I have taught him and his sister this since we were young.”
"And…regarding your matter, Commander Wang told me in private that you disobeyed military orders and killed the drug lord who killed Little Shun. You also ordered the drug dealers who surrendered to be killed.”
"Because of this, you were almost sent to the military court. You did well enough. Really, auntie is very grateful to you. Thank you for avenging Little Shun.”
"Xiao Meng, this child, her attitude towards you just now was a little bad. I apologize on her behalf. She kept calling you Platoon Leader Lin.”
"But, auntie hopes that you won't blame her. She's mainly worried about me, and she doesn't hold a grudge against you. Ever since Xiaoshun left, auntie's heart feels like it's weighed down by a rock. I'm a little…I don't know how to tell Xiaoshun's father.”
"His father died in the disaster area, and Little Shun died at the border. Sometimes, I think that if I had stopped Little Shun when he insisted on joining the army and didn't soften his heart, he wouldn't have died.”
"The more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm possessed. My body is getting worse by the day.”
"Xiao Meng, this child, is afraid that something will really happen to me. She only knows how to make me happy all day long, just like when she was young. She doesn't even think about it. She's still in this world.”
"Xiao Meng treated you like that. She was afraid that your appearance would agitate me and make me return to the way I was before. I'm muddle-headed all day long, so Auntie, please don't blame her…"
" Mom, don't say it, don't say it. We'll be fine in the future, we'll be fine..." Li Meng hugged Zhang Lanfang tightly at this time, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing.
She was glad that her mother had finally said these words and dared to face the pain in her heart. This meant that her mother's heart disease was really about to recover.
She didn't have to worry anymore. When she woke up, her mother would be as muddleheaded as before.
She didn't have to worry anymore. When she woke up…she would be the only one left at home.
Was a person's home still called home?
After all, she was just a young girl who had just turned 23 years old and had only been in society for half a year.
Coincidentally, his younger brother had died…
With so many things weighing down on her heart, she really felt a little breathless.
