Gong Tao later told Gong Xue that he hated his mother!
He doesn't want to have such a selfish and money-grubbing mother, and he doesn't want his mother's behavior to hurt his grandfather and Gong Xue.
After all, Gong Xue is two years older than him. Although she doesn't like her second aunt, her cousin Gong Tao is her relative.
She said to Gong Tao: "Don't resent your mother, she is doing it for you too."
Gong Tao refused to accept, "But she cares about you asking for money! My family has no shortage of houses, they are just greedy and take over!"
Gong Xue smiled, and she hugged Gong Tao, who was still too thin, on her shoulders, "I don't mind, and my mother doesn't mind either. Taotao, remember, as long as grandpa is happy and healthy, we can do whatever we want.
It should be."
Gong Tao is two years younger and is less able to understand the meaning of Gong Xue's words. However, he has trusted Gong Xue unconditionally since he was a child and will listen to her words.
In 2000, housing prices had not risen to an outrageous level. Gong Xue's mother took out her savings over the years and deposited them into her uncle's account. Aunt Gong Xue said nothing, and the family stayed politely until October 4th.
He said goodbye and went back to Linshi.
Gong Xue's mother only has ten days of vacation. Counting the comings and goings, there are only three days left.
On the night of the 4th, Gong Xue saw her mother asking her grandfather’s secretary to book a return train ticket.
Feeling indescribably sad, she avoided her grandfather, returned to the room upstairs, and opened the blue diary.
There is an inscription from my father on the title page.
A diary is a complete record of growth. I hope my beloved daughter Xiaoxue can treat the diary as an eye, persevere, and record every bit of life candidly and truly. I love you dad, Gong Liangjun.
She repeatedly rubbed the hard cover, carefully put the diary on her face, and murmured: "Dad...Dad..."
There was a soft knock on the door behind me.
She came to her senses, put down her diary, and said to the door: "Please come in."
It's mom.
Years of military life have made her develop the habit of wearing military uniforms. Even at home in Mobei, thousands of miles away, her mother still likes to wear a light green military shirt.
"Xiao Xue."
"Mother."
She sat down next to her mother, and the small, empty room immediately became warm and cozy.
Mother and daughter didn't say much, they just clung to each other tightly.
Her mother's eyes were full of love, and her fingers gently combed her hair.
Time passes quietly.
For no reason, a tall shadow suddenly passed over my heart.
She asked impulsively: "Mom, what do you do in the army?"
"Do..." Mom hesitated and answered her: "Similar to the work of a negotiator."
Gong Xue raised her head, worry written in her eyes, "Isn't that very dangerous?!"
It was indeed very dangerous. Even Gong Xue's mother could not count how many times she had experienced the test of life and death during her more than ten years of military career.
However, these are not important.
The important thing is that her husband and she are still alive, and they are alive to see their old father and daughter.
She shook her head and touched her daughter's face, "It's not as scary as you think. There are many comrades to protect you, so it's hard to get hurt."
In front of Gong Xue's eyes, a hot scene of gunfights from movies and TV series appeared.
She mustered up the courage to ask: "Comrades, including my uncle from last time?"
Mom seemed to have forgotten. She was stunned for a moment before saying uncertainly: "Plateau?!"
