Chapter 93 The Era II
"Sister, where is my brother?"
Qin Ning: "..."
Seeing Qin Ning's silence, Su Junshuo gradually felt uneasy in his heart. A child's intuition is very accurate. Although he is still young and does not understand the truth, he still has a general understanding of whether something is good or bad.
Intuition urged Su Junshuo to ask the question: "Is my brother unable to come back?"
Qin Ning was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and said: "What did the kid say...Brother...he went to a very far place and won't be able to come back for a while."
Su Junshuo came closer to Qin Ning and asked curiously with his big eyes: "Then where did he go? I saw that the neighbor's brothers have come back. Why hasn't our brother come back?"
The body's natural reaction was to hug the little Su Junshuo. When Qin Ning reacted, Su Junshuo was already in her arms. Qin Ning could only maintain this action and said softly:
"He...went to the west."
Su Junshuo raised his head from Qin Ning's arms and asked: "The west? Where is that place? Is it fun?"
Qin Ning stroked Su Junshuo's soft hair and said: "There are many countries there, and they live a different life than we have here. The world there is colorful. Maybe my brother was too indulged there and suddenly forgot to come back.
"
"Wow! It's so fun there, why don't you bring Shuo'er there with you?!"
Qin Ning smiled slightly and used the excuse he often heard when he was a child, "You are still young and don't understand anything. What should you do if you meet a bad person?"
Su Junshuo struggled out of his arms and said excitedly: "Then Shuo'er must grow up quickly!" Just after saying this, Su Qianshuo seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately became depressed again, lowered her head and murmured
, "But...why are my parents crying so sadly? They keep shouting my brother's name. To my brother, is fun more important or us?"
Qin Ning couldn't answer Su Junshuo's question. Even if he could answer it, he wouldn't understand it at such a young age.
The air was quiet for a while, the yellow leaves outside the window rustled, the cold wind slipped through the cracks in the window, and the voice was like crying, as if mourning the misfortune of the family.
Su Junshuo raised his head and looked at Qin Ning. His big eyes were filled with water, and he pursed his lips and said, "Sister, I miss my brother..."
Qin Ning sighed, hugged Su Junshuo tightly again, and gathered the quilt to prevent his brother from catching cold, "I miss him too... Go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow, and you will be scolded if you don't sleep.
"
Su Junshuo snorted and lay there motionless. A long time passed, and when Qin Ning thought Su Junshuo was asleep, the little man in his arms suddenly tightened his grip on Qin Ning's clothes and said dullly: "Sister.
...Please don't leave, okay..."
Qin Ning grabbed the cup tightly, then loosened it and said: "Sister, if you don't want to leave... go to sleep."
A dreamless night. In this family, Qin Ning is still an outsider after all. Although he witnessed what happened with his own eyes, his feelings are always different. The depth of his feelings is still no match for Su Qianxue's parents.
Although Su Junshuo was in a low mood at night, after a night passed, his mental vitality had long been restored. Children don't know anything, they only know what is fun and delicious. Apart from having difficulty getting up in the morning, they don't know anything about it as soon as they wake up completely.
Where did he go to play again?
To him, his brother was just traveling far away.
Qin Ning was holding a tray in her hand, with two bowls of white porridge on it. Qin Ning's cooking skills were pretty good.
After the two siblings got up in the morning, Qin Ning found that Su Qianxue's parents did not get up. Thinking of the blow to the two elders yesterday, Qin Ning did not urge them. After the younger brother went out, Qin Ning approached the second elder's room and called
They get up.
Qin Ning put the porridge on the cabinet in the room, close to the bed, and glanced at Su Qianxue's mother Zhong Yanli, who was leaning inside, "Mom, dad, don't sleep, get up."
Zhong Yanli stared at the ceiling blankly, with dried tears still remaining in the corners of her eyes. After a long time, she slowly said: "I don't want to think about it, so you and Shuo'er should eat first."
Qin Ning looked at Su Qianxue's father, Su Dianquan. Su Dianquan closed his eyes tightly and seemed to have not woken up yet, but Qin Ning knew that Su Dianquan had actually woken up long ago. In Su Qianxue's memories,
Her father is always the first to get up.
No one in the room spoke now. It wasn't until Su Dianquan couldn't stand Qin Ning's hot gaze on him that he got up from the bed. Unexpectedly, he got up too quickly, and one of his hands was injured and disabled in the original factory, causing his body to become unbalanced.
I almost fell down on the bed.
Qin Ning quickly supported Su Dianquan with his hands and eyes, but he didn't expect to be thrown away by Su Dianquan as soon as he stabilized his body. He said sadly: "If my hand was fine, I would have gone to the battlefield long ago, and Feng'er wouldn't be there either."
Will sacrifice! He is still so young...he has not yet married a wife..."
Su Dianquan covered his face with one hand in pain. When Zhong Yanli heard Su Junfeng's name, she came to her senses in an instant, propped up her body, and then said uncomfortably: "What can you do if you are fine?! Feng'er still has to go to the battlefield.
This is an order from the country. When the time comes, both your father and son will go. If neither of you comes back, what should we, the old and the young, do if we are left behind?"
The two elders were immersed in pain, as if Qin Ning was not in the room. When Zhong Yanli woke up a little, she realized what she was doing and said with an apology: "Xue'er, what my parents just said was just nonsense, don't take it to heart...
What time is it now? Have you eaten? Don’t wait for your parents..."
Qin Ning interrupted Zhong Yanli's incoherent words, "Mom and Dad! Shuo'er and I have already eaten. I brought the porridge in for you. You two, please eat quickly and don't go hungry. My brother and I will have to rely on you in the future."
Qin Ning took the porridge from the cabinet and put it on the quilt. "The porridge is still hot. Eat it quickly. I'm going out first."
Qin Ning walked out of the room with the tray. Overnight, she found that Su Qianxue's parents had more white hair on their heads.
Qin Ning sighed, what a pitiful family.
But this pain is just the beginning...
After losing his eldest son, the atmosphere at home was gloomy and there was little sunshine. In order to prevent Su Junshuo from feeling strange and affected, Qin Ning sent him outside to play.
Before that, Qin Ning had also greeted her neighbors. If Su Junshuo asked about her brother, she would answer "I don't know."
It seems that everyone in the family has agreed not to reveal a word about his brother to Su Junshuo.
Losing a child is equivalent to losing a piece of flesh. Su Dianquan's body was not in good health after the accident. Under the heavy thoughts and sadness, his body became worse day by day. Zhong Yanli's character changed from weak to weaker.
Today, they have not given up hope, and although they are uncomfortable, they try their best to take care of Qin Ning and Su Junshuo.
