Chapter 126 Unraveling

During this period, He Yuzhu went to the Guo family more frequently because Guo Lei had not sent any letters since the Chinese New Year.

A mother worries when her son is away from home, let alone the fact that Guo Lei was going to the battlefield.

People around the Guo family all have their own speculations about the possibility of no news for a long time.

Even Director Wang has visited the Guo family many times during this period.

The atmosphere in the Guo family was depressing, and He Yuzhu couldn't do much. He could only run around more and help with things within his ability.

Others just want to help but don’t know where to start.

Lian Yushui, who had been close to the Guo family during this period, had consciously stopped laughing and looked calm, like a little adult.

According to Yu Shui, she was scared by the looks on Guo Lei's parents' faces these days.

Yu Shui was a little reluctant to come to the Guo family, but after "thinking it over again and again", he decided to come.

Because if she didn't come to the Guo family, her good friend Ding Shumiao would be even more pitiful.

He Yuzhu carried Yu Shui out of the car. When He Yuzhu parked the car, Yu Shui reached out and held her brother's hand.

When He Yuzhu walked into Guo's house, he saw Guo's father and mother sitting on both sides of the table in a daze, and the cigarette held by Guo's father had gone out in his hand.

Guo's mother was supporting her head with one hand, her hair was disheveled and her eyes were closed, showing her deep fatigue.

A faint voice shouted to He Yuzhu: "Brother Zhuzi!"

He Yuzhu looked down and saw Ding Shumiao crouching by the door, tears in her eyes. She didn't even dare to shout.

Yu Shui finally let go of He Yuzhu's hand, and instead pulled up the little girl, saying with concern: "Miao Miao!..."

Yu Shui just greeted him, but didn't know what to say next. Instead, she turned her head to look at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu waved to the two little girls. Yu Shui understood and pulled Ding Shumiao to go outside to play.

It couldn't have gone far, it was just outside Guo's house.

Father Guo looked up and saw He Yuzhu, and forced a smile and said, "Zhu is here!"

"Hey, uncle and aunt, have you two eaten?" He Yuzhu asked.

Even if He Yuzhu wanted to care about this, he didn't know where to start. He Yuzhu didn't even dare to ask the relevant departments for fear of getting bad news.

Guo Lei doesn't believe it now. There are many possibilities.
The letter was written, but something went wrong along the way.

I'm on the front line and have no time to write.

Or, it is something that cannot be spoken of.

As long as there is no official news, there is hope.

But this kind of waiting is really painful for his family.

Guo's mother still had her eyes closed, and her face showed regret, struggle and anger.

Father Guo glanced at his wife and said with an embarrassed look: "Eat right away, eat right away."

He Yuzhu knew it when he heard it, this was not prepared yet.

He Yuzhu and Yu Shui came here after dinner. He was not shy with the Guo family and went straight into the Guo family's kitchen.

The stove was cold and the pot was empty, and there was no sign of dinner being prepared.

He Yuzhu hesitated at the kitchen door for a moment, then said to the two elders: "Uncle, Madam, don't worry too much.

Perhaps the letter was lost.

Didn’t you ask somewhere and found that Guozi was not on the list?
That means he's fine.

If you guys get sick from all this, Guozi will blame himself when he comes back."

Father Guo explained: "Today, your aunt ran into the person delivering notices outside. Seeing him crying, your aunt was a little, a little... Alas!

I couldn't help it and slapped Shu Miao twice.

I argued with her for a while and made your aunt angry." "It's okay, Shu Miao is much more sensible than Yu Shui, she won't blame you." He Yuzhu comforted.

At this time, He Yuzhu finally understood the complicated expression on Guo's mother's face.

I was worried about Guo Lei and heard bad news about him. I lost my temper and got angry at my family for no reason. I am blaming myself now.

He Yuzhu said: "I'll make you some noodles! Even if you're not hungry, you can still eat a little. Besides, there's Shu Miao."

At this time, Ding Shumiao, who was eavesdropping outside, also rushed in, ran to Guo's mother, and lay on her knees to comfort her: "Auntie, Shumiao is not in pain, and Auntie is not angry."

Guo's mother hugged Ding Shumiao, and her tears could no longer be held back and rolled down her cheeks.

We often talk about heroes, but we ignore the heroes' parents, children, and families.

At some point in time, the inner torment they suffer is no less than that of heroes, and they may even be under more pressure.

He Yuzhu saw Guo's mother crying, but he thought it was a good thing. If she kept it in her heart, she would easily get sick.

He Yuzhu shouted outside: "Yushui, come and help me light the stove."

The rain also ran in, but first hugged He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu patted his sister on the back, giving the little fat girl some comfort.

He understood what Yu Shui meant. Seeing the Guo family like this, she felt that it was great to have a brother to protect her.

He Yuzhu kneaded the dough skillfully, but while it was still rising, he came out and said a few words of comfort.

He also fetched a basin of water and wiped Ding Shumiao's face.

I saw a bruise on her wrist, probably because Guo's mother accidentally hit her.

Seeing He Yuzhu looking at her with pity, Ding Shumiao pretended to be strong and said, "Brother, I don't feel any pain."

He Yuzhu also patted Ding Shumiao's head and said, "Miaomiao is so good."

There's really no way to comfort this thing. If He Yuzhu tried to comfort her, Guo's mother would become even more troubled.

Suppressing emotions all the time will always make people do some unreasonable things.

Even though they know those things are wrong, they just can't control themselves.

If Guo Lei really got pregnant at this time, then Guo's father and mother would only be sad for a while, and the time might be long or short, but there would always be a day when they would get over it.

Or you may never get over it in your heart, but you will appear strong again on the surface.

That is what is most torturous right now, without any news.

He Yuzhu cut the noodles, then took out a pickle from Guo’s pickle jar, chopped it up and added it to the noodles.

When two large and one small bowls of noodles came out, Guo's mother finally said, "Zhu Zi, please fry another egg for Miao Miao. This girl has been wronged today."

This is an apology in disguise.

Adults' emotions are always so reserved. Even if they know they are wrong, they still cannot apologize to their children.

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Okay, hey, I can still eat fried eggs after getting beaten, Yushui, do you want to eat fried eggs?"

"No." Yu Shui answered sharply, and it was obvious that she understood what He Yuzhu meant.

He Yuzhu licked his lips pretentiously and said, "Auntie, you can either beat me up or I want to eat fried eggs, too."

"You are the only one who talks too much nonsense!" Guo's mother hugged the poor little Ding Shumiao into her arms, but started to scold He Yuzhu.

The atmosphere in the Guo family temporarily returned to normal.
