After getting off the bus in Yichun, Zuo Jingyan really experienced the winter in the north. It was really not an exaggeration to say that it was frozen for thousands of miles. There was white snow everywhere, and the sun reflected on the snow was so bright that it made people unable to open their eyes.

The north wind shaves people's faces like a knife, and heavy snowflakes fly in the air, hitting people's faces with the wind.

It's over 30 degrees below zero and no matter how thick you wear, the north wind will blow through you. Zuo Jingyan shivered with cold as soon as she got out of the car. She quickly pulled up her scarf and pulled down her hat, leaving only a slit for her eyes.

I still feel unbearably cold.

She was so cold even though she was wearing such thick clothes. Cui Ying and her mother-in-law couldn't bear the thin clothes they wore. On the train, they put on all the single clothes they could wear in their jackets, but ten layers of sheets are not as good as one layer of cotton. When they got off the train,

It was frozen.

The two children were doing better. When leaving home, Zuo Jingyan took Lu Haoting's military coat. She couldn't care about the adults, so the children had to be wrapped up.

Xiaobao carried a package on one shoulder and a child on the other hand. He used Lu Haoting's military coat to wrap the two children tightly.

Cui Ying's mother-in-law was embarrassed. The child was so thin and all the weight was pressing on him. She kept saying to Zhao Xiaobao:

"Son, thank you for your hard work. I'll let your brother thank you when you get home."

"Auntie, you're welcome, that's right."

Zhao Xiaobao is from the south, and it was the first time he saw the ice and snow in the Northeast. The wind carried snowflakes and filled his mouth with it. He ate a mouthful of snow after just one sentence, and he was so scared that he did not dare to speak.

Compared with the winter in Yichun, the extreme cold training he received in Jinghai was completely incomparable. He really saw what it was like to be bone-deeply cold.

"Mom, Xiaoying."

The ground leading from the station to the exit is covered with ice and snow. Passengers getting off the train have to take small steps when walking out, otherwise they will easily fall.

Zuo Jingyan was carrying her luggage bag with one hand and supporting Cui Ying's mother-in-law with the other. Cui Ying was shivering on the other side, supporting her mother-in-law with a bundle on her arm. She was shivering from the cold and could not speak.

Not coming out.

Zhao Xiaobao walked carefully on the ice with his two children in his arms. When it snowed and there were many people walking on the ice, they stepped on the snow. This kind of road is very slippery. If you are not careful, people will fall over. It doesn't matter how he falls. The child

But you can't drop it.

After finally walking to the exit of the station, he saw Yuan Lichun covered in snow. When he saw his wife and mother, he waved his hands vigorously:

"Mom, Xiaoying, I'm here."

Behind him was an orderly, carrying three cotton coats and two pairs of cotton shoes.

Cui Ying burst into tears when she saw her husband, and couldn't help but speed up and walk towards the exit of the station.

The old lady was unsteady and almost fell down, but Zuo Jingyan held her firmly.

Older people are prone to fractures, and a fall can be serious.

There was no such thing as overloading at this time. Everyone was crowded together in a jeep. After leaving the station, the sky and the earth were completely white, which made people feel trance-like.

Zuo Jingyan has been to Switzerland for skiing, but she has never seen so much snow, so pure and spotless.

After getting on the bus, Yuan Lichun kept thanking Zuo Jingyan and Zhao Xiaobao:

"Thank you so much. Without you, I would never see my son again. This brings them here safely. It is a great kindness that cannot be repaid."

"Brother Yuan, you're welcome. It's okay for military families to help each other."

Zuo Jingyan said politely. She was very anxious now and wanted to ask about her grandfather immediately. Grandpa was also from the south. Can he withstand the freezing ice and snow of the north wind?

Suddenly she remembered that her grandfather had old cold legs, and she wondered how people living in the south could have old cold legs. She must have been exposed to the cold in Yichun.

She wanted to ask Yuan Lichun now, but his family had just reunited, and it was not good to press her to ask, so she could only patiently greet him, but there was already an anxious look on her face.

Yuan Lichun saw that Zuo Jingyan was anxious. He couldn't bear to tell her all the news he had learned, so he could only say implicitly:

"I have already inquired about the person you asked me to inquire about. Zuo Tianming is going to the countryside at Hongqi Forest Farm. I will take you there after I send my mother and daughter-in-law back. I know the director of the farm there, and I heard some bad news.

You have to be mentally prepared."

Zuo Jingyan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she asked anxiously:

"How is Zuo Tianming's father?"

"Wait a while and I'll tell you after dinner."

Yuan Lichun saw how anxious she was and was worried that she wouldn't be able to eat after hearing the news, so he didn't say anything.

Zuo Jingyan was not in the mood to eat at the moment. She asked Yuan Lichun to say quickly:

"Brother Yuan, tell me now, I'm really worried."

Seeing Zuo Jingyan so anxious, Yuan Lichun had no choice but to tell her:

"In August last year, an accident occurred while the forest farm was cutting down trees and transporting wood down the mountain. Zuo Tianming was thrown down the col by a rolling log while trying to save others. The forest farm organized people to search and rescue, but the col was too dangerous and no one could get down.

....”

Zuo Tianming didn't know whether he was alive or dead, so the forest farm notified his father. When Zuo Tianming's father arrived, he refused to believe that his son was dead and insisted on seeing his son alive and dead. If the forest farm wouldn't look for it, he would look for it himself.

In fact, the forest farm has never given up looking for him. Notices of Zuo Tianming have been posted in every village. Anyone who finds Zuo Tianming will be rewarded heavily by the forest farm, but there has been no news.

Zuo Jingyan's heart was pounding when she heard that. Grandpa was in so much pain, despair, and helplessness at that time.

She also doesn't believe that her father is dead. Unless this world is not her own, this grandpa is not her grandpa, and dad is not her dad, otherwise he will not die.

When Zuo Jingyan saw that Yuan Lichun had stopped talking, she asked eagerly:

"Has my cousin been found? He is just injured?"

Yuan Lichun was silent for a moment before saying:

"Last month, a mountain man came to the forest farm to report that he found a man at the bottom of the mountain. He was rotten and only bones were left, but he was wearing forest farm clothes. He came to ask if he was from the forest farm? The forest farm sent someone

We took the bones back and confirmed that they were Zuo Tianming, so we notified his father."

Zuo Jingyan heard a buzz in her head, Zuo Tianming is dead? How is that possible? This is wrong!

Zuo Jingyan asked with a glimmer of hope: "Could it be the person who fell into the col before?"

"The father of Zuo Tianming whom you suspected also suspected it, but it is indeed him. The people at the forest farm found a letter he wrote to his father in his pocket."

Zuo Jingyan felt her heart aching, and she asked in a trembling voice: "What is written in the letter?"

Yuan Lichun said in a serious tone:

"As for returning to the city, he said that he would be able to go back before the end of the year, in time to celebrate the Chinese New Year with his father. He also said that he had learned two Northeastern dishes and wanted to go back and cook them for his father. He also said that... his father had suffered in the past.

, wait until he returns to the city and respect his old man well."

Who can bear this?

It was already painful for a white-haired person to send a gift to a black-haired person, but it became even more painful after seeing this letter.

Zuo Jingyan couldn't imagine her grandfather's expression at that time. He must have burst into tears and was in pain.

Zuo Jingyan tried hard to calm down her emotions and asked Yuan Lichun:
