"I'm always hungry and eat several meals a day. I eat too much, so I gain weight."
The couple sat next to her, concerned about her situation in the army. Although the in-laws would talk about their granddaughter's situation in the army, Liang Jun and the others still wanted to ask.
Shen Shuyu told them everything they wanted to know, so that they could rest assured.
After chatting for a while, Shen Shuyu took out a letter and said, "Grandpa, Grandma Liang, I went to the northwest to visit my parents-in-law and met an uncle named Yang Cheng. He wrote a letter and asked me to bring it to you."
"Yang... Yang Cheng?" Both of their voices trembled when they heard their son's name.
"Yes, Yang Cheng."
Liang Jun was so anxious to know the news about his son that he didn't care about his own emotions. He took the letter, opened it and began to read it quickly. Yang Zhen appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually not calm at all. Finally, there was news about his son. How could he, as a father, be calm?
The couple quickly read the letter. After reading to the end, Yang Zhen's uneasy heart settled down. His son and daughter-in-law were fine. This was the best news.
Yang Cheng didn't think about how difficult the conditions here were. He just told his parents that he was safe and asked them to take care of themselves and not to worry about them.
Of course, after much difficulty, he was able to write a letter to his parents, and Yang Cheng wrote quite a lot, a full three pages, but it was all just nagging them to take good care of themselves and not to worry too much about them.
Liang Jun couldn't help crying when she saw her son's letter. Yang Zhen wiped her tears and said, "Why are you crying? They said everything is fine, right? Shu Yu is still here. Don't let the child laugh at you."
Their family was sent down to the countryside, and their son and daughter-in-law were not like her and Lao Yang who were in Shenjiaba Brigade and had their granddaughter's family to take care of them. How much better could their son and daughter-in-law be?
How could a mother not understand her son? She definitely didn't want them to worry too much, so she said everything was fine.
Liang Jun tried his best to control his emotions, "Shu Yu, are Yang Cheng and his wife okay?"
Shen Shuyu didn't mention that she saved her uncle, but picked out some things to say, "The conditions over there are a little bit tougher, but they are not bullied because of their background. People over there are all working together and working diligently for the development.
Food and water are not as plentiful as they are here, so we need to be more frugal with them. Everything else is fine."
After hearing this, Liang Jun was not so worried anymore.
Yang Zhen asked her how she knew Yang Cheng. His granddaughter looked very much like his daughter when she was young. Yang Zhen suspected that his son had recognized his granddaughter. He didn't know if they recognized each other. If they did, he and his wife...
"Uncle Yang and my father-in-law have a good relationship. I got to know Uncle Yang when he came to our house for dinner. My father-in-law introduced us to him. As soon as I told him that his family was from Shenjiaba Brigade, Uncle Yang asked me to help deliver a letter."
Yang Zhen thought that his son might have found out that they were in Shenjiaba Brigade, so Shu Yu helped to bring the letter to them.
The child kept calling Shu Yu Uncle Yang. It seemed that my son already knew that Shu Yu was his niece but he had not recognized her.
"Is it very cold over there? Do your Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang have warm clothes to wear?" Liang Jun thought that if her son and daughter-in-law didn't have warm clothes to wear, she and her husband's cotton-padded clothes would be sent to them. They rarely go out in winter and can survive by heating the kang in the house.
"Yes, they have military coats to wear. Jiandong and I have several old military coats, and we gave them all to Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang.
They were short of water and food, but everything else was fine."
Food was scarce everywhere these days, and Yang Zhen and Liang Jun didn't find it strange at all. However, the lack of water was even more difficult than the lack of food. Hunger was bearable, but thirst was unbearable. "How bad is the water shortage over there? Can you guarantee that we'll have water to drink every day?"
"Yes, but there's not enough water for bathing and washing clothes, so we have to use water sparingly."
