Chapter 67(2/2)
Your eldest brother is called Zhenguo, which means suppressing the Kuomintang, and your second brother is called Zhenchuan, which means suppressing the white dogs in Sichuan. These are your father's wishes."
At this point, Zheng's mother couldn't hold back any longer. She sat on a chair and cried loudly, crying and talking at the same time.
"Brother Chengji, you said you left early and left me a few children!
The eldest son was injured this time. You don’t know how scared I am. I’m afraid that the children will sacrifice themselves just like you and your father-in-law!
Fortunately, the boss Zhenguo was only injured. Even if he is really disabled, I will accept it as long as he comes back alive!
There is also the second brother Zhenchuan. Since he went to the Peninsula battlefield, I have only received one letter. I don’t know how he is doing recently.
Don’t you know that I, the mother-in-law, am worried about him? I won’t send more letters!”
Seeing Zheng's mother crying, Zheng Zhendong didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to persuade her.
"Mom, please stop crying. My dad has been sacrificed for so many years. Please be more cheerful!
Xinyi and I are still at home, and besides, the eldest brother is back now, and the second brother is sure that Jiren has his own destiny, and will be safe and sound, maybe he will be back in a few days!"
After listening to Zheng Zhendong's words, Zheng's mother's crying gradually became quieter. After a while, her eyes turned red and she asked.
"Third brother, how many days will it take for your second brother to come back?"
Zheng Zhendong thought to himself, how could I know this? But seeing Zheng's mother looking at him with hope, she had no choice but to say.
"Perhaps you haven't seen how many troops are leaving the peninsula now. Aren't the troops that were the first to enter the DPRK come back one after another? My second brother is probably coming soon too!"
Don't look at Zheng Zhendong's wild guesses. After hearing this, Zheng's mother felt that it made sense, so she said with a smile.
"Hey, it would be great for our family if your second brother could come back!
When the time comes, your eldest brother will marry Huairu, your second brother will find a wife, and after you graduate, you will also get married!
If there are several more children at home, what day will it be? Oh! It’s so beautiful just thinking about it!”
Zheng Zhendong couldn't help but said as he saw Zheng's mother showing excitement.
"Mom, you are thinking too long-term. It's a bit too early to think about this now!
You'd better tell me, the Armed Forces and the streets, why don't you go visit my elder brother?"
Zheng's mother was a little unhappy at first when her fantasy was interrupted by Zheng Zhendong, but after hearing her third child ask this question, she still explained.
"Your eldest brother became a soldier in 1948, and your second brother also joined the army on our way to the capital.
Their household registrations are not in our street at all, how could they come to see him!
We were in the Taihang Mountains at the time, and we moved to several places later, so it’s understandable that I didn’t go see your brother about this!"
When Zheng Zhendong heard what Zheng's mother said, he suddenly realized. He thought to himself, how could he forget about his household registration? He didn't even know that his elder brother and second brother were not here.
Zheng Zhendong understood the reason and saw that it was getting late, so he said to Zheng's mother.
"Mom, I finally figured it out. If you didn't tell me, I really didn't know!
Okay, I understand now, I think it’s getting late, you should go back to the hospital quickly!”
Zheng's mother nodded knowingly and said as she stood up and put on her clothes.
"Okay, third child, I'll go back to the hospital right now. I won't be at home these days. You take good care of your sister. I won't say much else!"
Mother Zheng put on her clothes, carried her packed things, pushed her bicycle out of the door, and then walked out of the gate of the compound before riding towards the hospital.
