Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

When Liu Jingxue arrived at the post office, she did not rush to pick up the package. Instead, she queued up to make a phone call.

The package has been in town for several days, but she has not contacted her eldest brother. They must be getting anxiously waited for.

I don’t know how long I’ll have to wait for the letter to arrive, so I might as well give my brother a call first to let him know I’m safe.

As for things that are inconvenient to say on the phone, I will write them down on paper and put them in the package I send to them.

There were not many people queuing up to make phone calls today, and it was Liu Jingxue's turn within a few minutes.

After the call was connected, I made an appointment with the soldier on duty to call back in twenty minutes and ask him to help find someone.

Twenty minutes later, Liu Jingxue called again.

After the call was connected, Liu Jingxue asked, "Hello, comrade. I wonder if Captain Liu Jianguo has arrived."

The soldier on the other side replied, "Comrade, I'm sorry, Captain Liu is out on a mission and is not with the troops.

I went to his house and found that Captain Liu's wife had gone to work, so only Captain Liu's mother-in-law and Captain Liu's son were at home.

I have invited Captain Liu's mother-in-law to come here. You can talk to her if you have any questions."

Liu Jingxue was at a loss when she heard this.

Since the eldest brother and sister-in-law were not at home, the soldiers invited the sister-in-law's mother to come.

I don’t even know my sister-in-law’s mother, so what should I say to her?

But on second thought, it would be better to let her answer the call and let her convey the message to my eldest brother and the others, so that they wouldn't be worried because they had no news from me.

"Hello, is this Jianguo's sister?" The voice on the phone interrupted Liu Jingxue's thoughts.

She quickly came to her senses and focused on dealing with the old lady.

From her eldest brother's attitude when he mentioned his father-in-law and mother-in-law last time, Liu Jingxue knew that this old lady was not a simple person.

In order to avoid leaving a bad impression on the old lady, she had to handle it well.

She quickly greeted the old lady, "Aunt Xie, hello, I am Liu Jianguo's sister, my name is Liu Jingxue.

Auntie, just call me Xiaoxue."

"Hello, Xiaoxue.

Jianguo and his wife often talk about you at home, asking why you haven't contacted them yet."

Liu Jingxue apologized, "Aunt, I'm busy with the autumn harvest in the countryside. I work in the fields from dawn to dusk and I'm not allowed to take leave, so I haven't contacted them.

Even the packages they sent me, I never had the time to pick them up.

As soon as the autumn harvest was over, I came to town and called them."

"Aunt, please tell them that I'm fine here and they don't need to worry."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely tell them.

But you, kid, are the child of a martyr? Why did you go to the countryside?

Even if your grandmother passed away and it's not safe for you to stay in the city alone, you can come to your brother and join the army.

Why do you have to go to the countryside, and go to the Northeast?

It's too cold over there. How can you, a southerner, adapt to it?"

When Liu Jingxue heard this, she realized that her elder brother and sister-in-law were still hiding what was happening here from her uncle.

Since they were hiding it and she didn't know Aunt Xie's character, she naturally wouldn't tell the truth.

Even if I want to tell her, I can't say it on the phone, after all, the soldiers on duty there are always there.

And she couldn't guarantee that the call was not monitored.

Liu Jingxue said quickly, "My eldest brother has just been transferred there, and everything is not yet sorted out. It would be inappropriate for me to go over there and disturb him."

Not wanting to talk about it any more, she quickly changed the subject, "When did Aunt Xie go to my eldest brother's place?

Are you going to help Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law look after Little Tiger?"

Aunt Xie got angry when she heard this, "I'm here to look after their children, they wish for it.

I’m here to cause trouble for them.”

Aunt Xie said this while rolling up her sleeves, as if she was about to hit someone, and her voice became much higher.

"These two are really tired of living. They actually dared to come over here without even saying hello.

When they were transferred here, they should at least say hello to us old couple and give us an announcement.

How dare they keep it secret?

He even dared to fall out with Lao Liu and do that kind of thing.

Is this what a son or daughter-in-law should do? "

When the soldier on duty heard this, he wondered if he could listen to this without paying.

He quickly stood up and walked out, not forgetting to close the door.

Aunt Xie said angrily, "If I hadn't called their former unit when I saw they hadn't called, I wouldn't have known so many things had happened.

My husband and I were furious when we heard what happened.

If they were in front of us, they would have to be fed three times a day."

Aunt Xie clenched her fists and waved them in the air twice, as if her disobedient daughter and son-in-law were standing in front of her.

“After finding out about their new place, your uncle Xie and I decided to come look for them.

But your uncle Xie is really busy, so I am the only one who can come here to make a visit."

“I ran over, caught them both and beat them up.

They thought I was old and no longer as strong as when I was young, so I couldn't beat them anymore.

Then they will think of something. Even if I am lying in bed, I can still beat them. "

"These days when I'm here, whenever I think of what they did, I beat them up to vent my anger.

It's just a pity that your eldest brother, that coward, took a mission and went out to avoid me so that he could avoid a few beatings."

When Liu Jingxue heard what Aunt Xie said and thought about how her elder brother and sister-in-law were beaten, she almost laughed out loud.

She tried hard to hold back her laughter, "So when you hit them, did they dodge?"

Aunt Xie’s voice became even louder, “They dare.

If they dare to hide, I will not only beat them up, but I will beat them so hard that they can’t get out of bed.”

"Considering that they are old and still have jobs, I gave them some face by not hitting them in the face or neck, but only in places that others couldn't see.

If they dare to hide, I will hit them in the face and make sure they can't go out and see people." Aunt Xie said hatefully.

Liu Jingxue almost laughed out loud when she imagined her elder brother and sister-in-law going to work with scars all over their faces, surrounded by their comrades and colleagues.

No wonder when talking about this old lady, both the eldest sister-in-law and the eldest brother looked fearful.

The two of them had to be thankful that Uncle Xie was delayed by something and couldn't go.

Otherwise they have to experience it well, with parents teaming up to doubles.

Aunt Xie saw the soldiers go out, thought for a moment, hesitated, lowered her voice, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoxue, do you have any news about them?"

Liu Jingxue understood that the "they" Aunt Xie was referring to was her uncle and aunt.

But she didn't dare say this on the phone.

"Aunt, I'm just a little girl. How can I know any news? I don't have any place to ask."

Aunt Xie sighed and whispered, "Your Uncle Xie also asked someone about it.

But I didn’t get any news until I came here.”

Liu Jingxue didn't know what to say to the old lady.

If I keep it a secret from her, will the old lady blame me when she finds out?

After all, she is my eldest sister-in-law's mother. If she has a bad impression of me and says bad things about me in front of my eldest sister-in-law, wouldn't it affect the relationship between the aunt and sister-in-law?

But think about it, even her eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't tell her, and they are the ones to take the blame. Even if she finds out later, she will blame her eldest brother and sister-in-law first, not herself.

Thinking of this, she felt a lot more relieved.
