1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 210: A Bolt from the Blue, the Bad News Brought Back by the Second Uncle (Please Order the Whole Book)
Feng Jiamo rushed in from outside the yard, followed by a young man in military uniform.

Look at the young man in front of you!

Mother Feng's face was a little surprised and disappointed at first, but she soon burst into tears and shouted, "Jiacheng, you're back?"

The young man who was called back by Feng Jiamo was none other than Feng Jiacheng, the second son of the Feng family who had been working in Yunnan!

"Dad, Mom, sister-in-law, I'm back!"

Feng Jiacheng put down the luggage in his hand and shouted at his parents.

"Dad! Daddy!"

Following closely were the two younger children, Feng Liqin and Feng Liwen, who were originally watching TV. Perhaps they heard their father's voice, so they looked back and were stunned at first, then they rushed up in joy, shouting.

"Sister-in-law, sister, my little brother is back!"

Feng Jiamo shouted loudly towards the backyard again. It just so happened that Feng Jiayou, supported by his elder sister Cheng Wenxiu, had already arrived at the front yard!

When I saw my second brother Feng Jiacheng coming back, I was a little disappointed, but I was instantly surprised by this surprise!

Second brother Feng Jiacheng is back from the front line in Yunnan!

This is more meaningful to their family than her husband Cheng Xuemin returning from the Northwest.

After all, her man went to the Northwest to film a movie. What could go wrong?

It was just a delay on the road.

But her second brother Feng Jiacheng is different. He is at the front line of the Yunnan border. Although he did not go to the battlefield, he was also requisitioned for logistics transportation!

Ever since the fighting broke out in the south, everyone at home has been worried.

it's good now!

My second brother Feng Jiacheng returned safely from the front line, and the family members finally felt relieved.

"Jiacheng!?"

When she heard her sister-in-law Feng Jiamo's shouting in the front yard, she thought it was her brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin who had returned. Second sister-in-law Sun Juan breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down her pace.

But when she came over, she saw the man standing in the front yard and heard her sister-in-law yelling at her again.

In an instant!

Second sister-in-law Sun Juan's eyes suddenly burst into tears. She rushed forward and greeted her husband and shouted.

"Ugh!"

Feng Jiacheng responded to his wife, then looked at his sister Feng Jiayou and continued to greet her: "Jiayou...are you about to give birth?"

When Feng Jiacheng saw that his older sister Feng Jiayou had such a big belly, his eyelids widened and he exclaimed.

"Second brother, you're finally back. The family was worried to death!" Feng Jiayou replied to her second brother with tears in her eyes.

"Come in first! Why didn't you send a telegram back in advance?!"

Father Feng was greeting his youngest son Feng Jiacheng. He did not expect that the first person to come back would be his youngest son.

He immediately called Feng Jiacheng and asked him to go into the house first, without complaining a word.

He came back without saying anything. Instead of calling his unit in advance, he at least sent a telegram or something!

"Yes! Why didn't you send a telegram when you came back so that I could ask your eldest brother to pick you up!"

Feng's mother also nodded, telling him not to feel too sorry for her youngest son. She helped carry the luggage and welcomed him in!
"Hey, Dad is holding me!"

Feng Jiacheng smiled bitterly, and lovingly picked up his two children, one in each hand, and said, "Dad, Mom! There are rules in the army, and we all got on the train at a temporary assembly!"

"Before we got on the train, we didn't even know we were going back to Yanjing!"

Feng Jiacheng looked around again and saw two unfamiliar female comrades in the house. He didn't know them very well, so he nodded politely and asked again, "Where's my eldest brother?"

"And what about my brother-in-law? Is he really Lao Xu, the author of The Wrangler?"

Maybe Feng's mother was anxious and said it unintentionally, but her daughter Feng Jiayou heard it and took it to heart. She said, "Big brother and Xuemin went to the northwest to shoot the movie "The Shepherd"!"

"Mom, who did you ask to pick up my second brother?"

"Didn't my eldest brother go to the Northwest to shoot the Wrangler?"

Just now her mother seemed to say that if the second brother sent a telegram back, the eldest brother could go to the station to pick him up?

But my brother is now in the northwest and has been gone for two or three months. How can I pick him up?
When Feng's mother heard this, she knew that she had spoken out of turn, and she quickly said in an evasive way, "Yes, yes, yes, look at how forgetful I am! Jiacheng, your eldest brother went to the northwest with your brother-in-law and joined the filming crew of the movie "The Shepherd". He hasn't come back yet!"

"Really?! My brother-in-law's "The Horse Shepherd" is being made into a movie?" Feng Jiacheng was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that his brother-in-law was so capable.

I exchanged several letters with my family before the Chinese New Year and learned that my eldest sister had married a man from northern Shaanxi.

We discussed it at the educated youth point!
We also know that the brother-in-law of this man from northern Shaanxi followed his sister Feng Jiayou into the city, and wrote "The Shepherd", which was very popular at that time.

Even Feng Jiacheng, who was working in a production team in a remote border area in Yunnan, had read The Horse Shepherd published in the Yenching Literature magazine.

of course!

It was Feng Jiacheng who first received a letter from home saying that his brother-in-law had written an article "The Horse Herdsman" and published it in "Yenching Literature". Feng Jiacheng then specially went to find such a magazine and read it.

"Brother, my brother-in-law is so powerful now!"

"Not only is The Shepherd being adapted into a movie, but several of his manuscripts, such as Director Qiao's Taking Office and Loess Plateau, are also being adapted into movies!"

"By the way, did my second sister-in-law write to you and tell you that my brother-in-law is the pioneer of reform and opening up who was appointed by the emperor to write the inscription?"

It was Feng Jiamo who rushed to speak again.

"Really?! So awesome!?" Feng Jiacheng was amazed when he heard that. He really didn't know that his brother-in-law had written so many manuscripts!

Or is it the pioneer of reform and opening up as designated by the inscription above? !
Feng Jiacheng nodded, thought it over, and then froze in his tracks. He asked in shock, "What? Jiamo, who do you think is the pioneer of reform and opening up?"

"My brother-in-law! Didn't my second sister-in-law write to you about it?" Feng Jiamo looked at her second sister-in-law in confusion. There was such a powerful brother-in-law in the family, but her second sister-in-law didn't write to her second brother about it?

"Jiacheng, I wrote you a letter!" The second sister-in-law nodded, looked at her man, and asked, "Why didn't I see you reply?"

My second sister-in-law did write a letter to her husband during the Chinese New Year to wish him a happy new year and mentioned the situation at home!

So, there's no need for her man to make such a fuss, right?

"After the fighting started, we were drafted into the logistics department to transport supplies, so we didn't receive any letters from home!" Feng Jiacheng explained, shaking his head, and then asked, "Jiayou, is my brother-in-law really a pioneer? What's his real name? Cheng Xuemin?"

At this time Feng Jiacheng was really panicked, because when he withdrew from the front line, the front-line troops kept reporting that Comrade Cheng Xuemin, a pioneer of reform and opening up who had gone to Yanjing to express his condolences, was trapped in the heart of the wild monkeys' counterattack while covering the withdrawal of the main force, and his life or death was unknown.

When Feng Jiacheng and the others heard this, they wanted to pick up their guns again and rush up to have a fierce fight with the wild monkeys.

Rescue the vanguard of reform and opening up who were trapped in the enemy's counterattack area.

But because we are in the territory of Wild Monkey and a ceasefire agreement has been signed, we cannot rush in with a large force. We can only send a small reconnaissance unit to infiltrate and try to rescue the people.

But until Feng Jiacheng was withdrawn, there was no news of pioneer Cheng Xuemin at the front line.

Most likely he really got stuck in there, after all, it’s been such a long time.

Originally, facing the fact that pioneer Cheng Xuemin was trapped in enemy territory, Feng Jiacheng felt grief-stricken and helpless, but after returning to the city and Beijing, he became happy.

I no longer paid attention to the war on the front line.

But now, going home was supposed to be a happy thing, but his family actually told him that his brother-in-law was the pioneer of reform and opening up?

This, this, this...why hasn't his family told him this before?!
If he knew that the pioneer of the reform and opening up was his brother-in-law, he would have watched helplessly as his brother-in-law was trapped in enemy territory and his life or death was unknown.

If he didn't rush to rescue his brother-in-law, how would he have the nerve to return to the city? How would he explain to his sister? And!

Didn’t the eldest sister Feng Jiayou say that her eldest brother and brother-in-law went to the Northwest together to film the movie “The Shepherd”?

How...how...this must not be the same person, right?
"Yes! Xuemin's real name is Cheng Xuemin. He started the reform on the second day of the Chinese New Year. The People's Daily wrote an inscription about it!"

"What's wrong, second brother? Second sister-in-law didn't tell you, right?!"

Feng Jiayou was still confused and said with a very proud look on his face.

"Is reform pioneer Cheng Xuemin really my brother-in-law?!"

"But he..."

Feng Jiaben was about to blurt out why his brother-in-law had gone to the front line in Yunnan!
Mother Feng was quick to realize what was going on. She quickly grabbed her youngest son and changed the subject, saying, "Jiacheng, there are still many things you don't know!"

"Xuemin is not only the pioneer of reform and opening up as mentioned above, but also a specially-appointed lecturer at Yanda University!"

"Also, he is tutoring Juan'er and her friends in the backyard, preparing them for this year's college entrance exam!"

Then Feng's mother introduced them, "Oh, this is Xuemin's sister Wenxiu, his cousin Xiaolian, and Qingwaer is Xuemin's nephew, Wenxiu's son. He can play with our Liqin and Liwen!"

Feng's mother was indeed very panicked. She introduced all the family members in one breath and even introduced Qingwaer a few more words, just to quickly change the subject!

She was really afraid that her youngest son would suddenly reveal bad news about her son-in-law.

After all, no one knows a son better than his mother. Feng's mother noticed Feng Jiacheng at the first moment. Her tone of voice was filled with shock and her expression changed suddenly.

perhaps!

The youngest son Feng Jiacheng returned from the southern front and learned the news about his brother-in-law.

"Hello, second brother!"

"Hello, second brother!"

Only then did sister Cheng Wenxiu and cousin Qin Xiaolian have the chance to say hello to Feng Jiacheng.

"Okay, okay, hello!"

Feng Jiacheng, who was secretly pulled by his mother, also realized that something was wrong at home. Perhaps his brother-in-law, a pioneer in the reform and opening up, went to the front line to express his condolences without telling his sister.

Going to the Northwest to shoot the movie "The Horse Herder" was most likely an excuse, because he didn't want his poor sister to worry.

Moreover, his sister's belly is so big, she should be giving birth soon, right?
But her man...

You were wrong. The pioneer of reform and opening up in the south was definitely not his brother-in-law.

But not only did they have the same name, but even their identities remained the same...

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the family started talking to Feng Jiacheng, asking him this and that. When they found out that Feng Jiacheng had really gone to the front line, the whole family was filled with fear and worry.

At the same time, Feng Jiacheng also mentioned his arrangements after returning to the city. He was assigned to the General Logistics Department, thanks to his great contributions on the front line this time!

A batch of ammunition and supplies that were urgently needed at the front line were delivered in time amidst hail of bullets and artillery fire, thus saving the frontline soldiers from great losses.

So when the armistice ended, he was arranged to return to the city as a reward for his merits and went directly to the logistics department.

of course!

Feng Jiacheng also said that his uncle also helped in this.

to this end!

The whole family was happy for Feng Jiacheng. After all, millions of educated youth had returned to the city and were waiting for their superiors to arrange jobs for them.

Originally, everyone in the family was trying to use their connections to find a job for Feng Jiacheng.

it's good now!

The second brother Feng Jiacheng earned some military merit on his own and was assigned a job with priority, which was a happy thing for the family!

But Mr. and Mrs. Feng couldn't be happy at all.

late!

After sending Feng Jiayou back to the backyard to rest, Feng's mother, father, and eldest and second sisters-in-law finally had the opportunity to ask Feng Jiacheng about the backyard:

"Jiacheng, before you came back, did you get any news about your brother-in-law Xuemin?"

After talking for a whole night, the whole family might have been waiting to ask this question, because Feng's father and sister-in-law all saw that Feng Jiacheng was hesitant to speak.

"Mom! Is my brother-in-law really the reform pioneer Cheng Xuemin who went south to offer condolences? Didn't my daughter just say that my brother-in-law went to the northwest with my eldest brother?"

Feng Jiacheng was also extremely anxious. If this was true, he didn't know how to tell his family.

"That was all kept from your sister! Xuemin went south with the General Political Department's consolation delegation in early March to visit the front lines in Yunnan!"

"Jiacheng, what you were hesitating to say just now, is there any news about your brother-in-law?"

"Your father and I heard from the leaders of the General Political Department that Xuemin has been missing on the front line for more than a month! Your father and I went to inquire about it almost every day, but now it has become a military secret and there is no follow-up!"

"How are we going to tell your sister about this?"

As Feng's mother spoke, she began to wipe away her tears again.

Ever since that day when I went to the General Political Department to watch the internal reference video, I was kept by the General Political Department leader and was conveyed that message!

Mr. and Mrs. Feng could not sleep all day and all night, they were really worried about their poor daughter, that she would give birth to a child without a man, and the child would be without a father!
"Dad, Mom...you already know, right? Xuemin was covering the retreat of the main force when he encountered a sudden counterattack by the wild monkeys. He was trapped in the enemy area and his life or death is still unknown!"

Feng Jiaben originally thought that his family didn't know that his brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin was trapped in enemy territory, but now he heard what his mother said.

I think you should have received the news by now. After all, it has been more than a month!

"I know. The family is hiding it from your sister now!" Mother Feng nodded, touching her eyes, and choked up again, "I don't know if there is any news about your brother-in-law now! Jiacheng, you have been delivering supplies to the front line, but you haven't heard any definite news about your brother-in-law?"

The eldest and second sister-in-law next to them also looked extremely confused. How could this happen?
Didn’t they hear from their mother-in-law some time ago that Xuemin was performing at the front line to comfort the audience and everything went very smoothly?
But how...how come we suddenly lost contact and are trapped in enemy territory, not knowing whether we are alive or dead?
"Mom, Dad! When I retreated, there were still gunshots from the enemy area. Our people guessed that Xuemin should still be alive!"

"But the problem is that that's in enemy territory and we can't provide artillery cover and guidance!" Feng Jiacheng said miserably.

"No more talking, Jiacheng, you all...you all should go and have some rest! Go and have some rest!"

sad!

Mother Feng waved her hands sadly and told her youngest son Feng Jiacheng to stop talking!
Outside the border, unable to provide fire support to guide him, she could only watch her son-in-law...

"Mom, dad..."

Feng Jiacheng looked at his parents, who suddenly seemed much older. He wanted to say something to comfort them, but he didn't know how.

He could only be silently taken away by his wife, Sun Juan.

The eldest sister-in-law Ke Yumei also stood up, still worried and powerless to comfort her: "Mom, Xuemin is very lucky, he shouldn't have such a short life, he will definitely break out!"

"Old Feng, how am I supposed to explain this to that poor kid?"

After all the children returned to the house, Mother Feng hugged her husband Father Feng and cried and wailed in pain.

"Tomorrow, let's go to Mr. Wu and ask him again. Xuemin has a blessed face and is not a short-lived ghost!"

Father Feng also had a look of dejection on his face. He had not expected such an outcome.
