758: The Soul Returns Home (1 More)

A remote mountain village in the southwest.

Shi Kai's hometown is here.

Poor is really poor, otherwise Shi Kai would not have joined the army in his teens.

Shi Kai didn't have the luck and strength of Zhou Cheng. He was quick to dry up within two years of joining the army. Shi Kai slowly got up.

But within a radius of dozens of miles, when it comes to Shi Kai, that's really excellent.

Shi Kai is many years older than Zhou Cheng. A few years ago, he was forced by the leaders to go home for a blind date. He has already returned to his hometown to marry a daughter-in-law. Shi Kai's daughter-in-law is also very good. Shi Kai gave birth to two children.

The eldest daughter is two years old and the youngest is only a few months old.

In addition to the younger ones, Shi Kai also has the older ones.

Shi Kai lost his father at an early age and was brought up by a half-blind mother.

In such a family situation, even if Shi Kai raised cadres and sent all his wages to his family, it would not improve the fundamental environment.

The Shi family that Zhou Cheng saw was very poor.

Looking at Shi Kai's character, the sun is positive, how can you imagine that his hometown is so poor?

Zhou Cheng came back with Shi Kai's ashes, and when he arrived at Shi's house, he knelt down for Shi Kai's mother.

The half-blind Shi Mu can't see, but Yingyingchaochuo can see individual shadows:

"Juanhong, is Xiaokai back?"

Shi Kai's daughter-in-law Wei Juanhong covered her mouth and cried uncharacteristically. Shi Kai came back, not walking, but being held in a small jar.

Mother Shi couldn't see far away, but Wei Juanhong could see clearly that a young officer was kneeling in front of her mother-in-law holding the urn, and more people in military uniforms were standing outside the yard.

The fence wall separated the inside and outside of the yard into two worlds, so many people in military uniforms did not make any noise.

The dog in the house was barking and smelling strangers.

Shi Mu finally felt that something was wrong. She couldn't see the person in front of her, and she relied on her hand to touch it.

She put her hand on Zhou Cheng's face, "Xiao Kai's face is rounder than this, and her nose is not that tall... You are not Xiao Kai!"

Shi Mu's hands were shaking, Shi Kai's brother was snorting beside him, "It's not brother, it's not brother—"

"Mom, Shi Kai, he..."

Wei Juanhong burst into tears, unable to make a sound.

The little baby at home who hadn't been weaned for a few months also cried.

Zhou Cheng hugged the urn tightly and kowtowed to Mother Shi: "Auntie, I brought Shi Kai home, your condolences!"

There was a vast fog in front of Shi Mu's eyes.

She felt that not only was her eyes blind, but her ears were not working well. She could hear every word, but she just didn't understand the meaning.

Wei Juanhong cried and she was flustered.

The little grandson is also crying.

Originally, Shi Kai could not have two children due to family planning, because Shi Kai's younger brother was mentally disabled, so Shi Kai and Wei Juanhong had one more birth quota.

Rural people have different ideas. Poverty will not prompt everyone to have fewer children, but will only find ways to have more children to share the pressure of old age.

The Shi family's situation is different. Shi Kai must take care of his mentally handicapped younger brother for the rest of his life. Now that the second child is born, Shi Kai is gone, and Wei Juanhong feels that the sky is falling!

The people who were guarding outside the courtyard walked in, including the leaders of Shi Kai's troops and people from the academy.

He confessed the fact of Shi Kai's sacrifice in a somber tone.

"...Granted Comrade Shi Kai the title of Martyr, he will be buried in the Martyr's Cemetery, may the hero rest in peace."

Before talking about the martyr's pension and the work arrangement of relatives, Shi Kai's family was already crying, and the leaders of the Ministry [shuquge www.shuquge.xyz] could not speak. Who could not bear to hear such a cry? The leaders of the army are also most afraid of doing this kind of work. The martyrs are of course honorable, but it is too painful for the families of the martyrs!

Zhou Cheng was helped up later, and his knees were almost unconscious.

After informing the Shi family, Shi Kai was to be buried in the local martyr's cemetery, and Shi's mother was supported. Shi Kai's younger brother knew that the elder brother was placed in a small jar and would be buried in the soil, so he cried and made trouble.

Wei Juanhong shed tears silently with her two children in her arms. Anyone who watched it was bitter.

"Shi Kai is gone, this family can pass by!"

Zhou Cheng heard people in the village talking like this.

He is also thinking about this issue. The state will issue a pension, which is not small considering the current income of farmers.

However, Shi Kai's family is in a special situation. Now Wei Juanhong is basically the only labor force left. She wants to raise Shi's mother, an intellectually disabled brother-in-law, and two children. The money will always run out.

"The army will coordinate local arrangements for relatives to work. This is in line with national policy. Don't worry."

Everyone knows that Zhou Cheng has a pimple in his heart.

In this situation, I can understand Zhou Cheng.

Not only was Shi Kai killed in front of Zhou Cheng, but he pushed Zhou Cheng away and died himself. Did Shi Kai know he was going to die when he pushed Zhou Cheng away? Now no one knows what Shi Kai was thinking at the time, and it was just a decision at that moment. Now the living person is Zhou Cheng, and the dead one is Shi Kai. Shi Kai's family is under such conditions, so how can Zhou Cheng be at ease?

When the mission was over, Zhou Cheng followed him all the way to Shi Kai's hometown.

Shi Kai was successfully buried in the Martyrs Cemetery. Zhou Cheng saw that Shi Kai's hometown was so poor, and the family conditions were so poor that he couldn't pat his butt and leave.

Tell yourself that Shi Kai's family is taken care of by the state, will he live a happy life?

That is self-deception!

The pillar of the family has fallen, and the labor force is only just over

Wei Juanhong, who is three years old.

Wei Juanhong is still so young, if the family remarries, who will take care of Shi Kai's children, half-blind mother, and mentally handicapped younger brother?

But Zhou Cheng didn't have the face to say to Wei Juanhong, "You can't remarry."

Being a military sister-in-law is hard enough. Men may come back once or twice a year. Even if Shi Kai is an officer, Wei Juanhong could not have been with the army before... She is with the army, what about the mother-in-law and brother-in-law at home!

Being a martyr's widow is more heavy than being a military wife.

Zhou Cheng has seen many widows of martyrs and comrades who died on the front line.

Not to mention, the martyr's widow with the best conditions is Kang Wei's mother. What has Xie Yun been like these years? This is still a good material life, and there is a poor material life, such as the Shi family in front of me.

Zhou Cheng is particularly looking for someone to talk to now.

In this situation, what will Pan Sange do when he encounters it?

Want to talk to Xiaolan, Xiaolan is so smart, there is always a proper way.

Now that Pan Sange and Xiaolan are not around, Zhou Cheng can only bite the bullet and talk about it himself.

Shi's mother was already sick in bed, and Shi Kai's younger brother couldn't communicate normally. Zhou Cheng could only find Shi Kai's widow, Wei Juanhong.

"Sister-in-law, what are your plans in the future?"

Wei Juan's red eyes were swollen with only a slit left. When Zhou Cheng talked to her, her response was very slow.

What are you going to do?

"Shi Kai said that after he finished his studies, he could go up. He said that he would raise his salary, and he said that he would come back... He said that he would change jobs in the future. If he can work in the county, the family will be reunited."

Now that Shi Kai is sleeping in the Martyrs Cemetery, the young officer asks her what her plans are?

She just wanted Shi Kai to live!
