Chapter 255 New Hope
For example, in the courtyard, no matter what happened, the neighbors would not easily blame her.

Outside the courtyard, neighbors often praised her.
"The White Widow couldn't stop He Yuzhu from joining the army and fighting on the front line.

But she really didn't want to see anything happen to He Yuzhu on the battlefield, otherwise she would go back to the way she was before!"

He Yuzhu naturally knew what the White Widow was thinking.
But this is human nature and he can't say anything.

Seeing that He Daqing still looked worried after Bai Guafu finished speaking, He Yuzhu smiled and said,

"Dad, you've read a lot of newspapers recently.

The coalition forces are now bombing Anton frequently. Many children as old as Yu Shui and Qing Shan have been killed by the coalition forces.
If you don't go, and I don't go either, the foreign devils will sooner or later attack our Peking, and then we will all be dead.

Since the results are the same,

Why don't you go to the battlefield and fight them?"

He Daqing and Bai Guafu's eyes widened immediately.
"Zhu Zi, don't bluff us."

This matter is not suitable to be told to He Daqing.
"Why would I lie to you? Many of our PLA leaders have families that have joined the army, and many have died on the battlefield. What's so strange about that?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu had said so much, He Daqing could not stop him and could only sigh heavily.

"Well, since you have made up your mind, I, as your father, will not object.
But there is no mercy on the battlefield, so be careful."

"I know, Dad, you can rest assured that I will come back alive.

And even if he really died, he would be a martyr.
Look at the second brother of Uncle Zhu's family in the courtyard next door. He died in the southwest some time ago.

The district office not only arranged a job for the eldest son of the Zhu family in the factory, but also sent Uncle Zhu a lot of food every month.

The state supports him, so Uncle Zhu will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life."

He Daqing certainly knew about the second son of the Zhu family next door. When Peking was liberated, he joined the army and followed the troops all the way south, making many contributions.

When he died some time ago, the director of the district office came to visit him with a letter of introduction and food.
The whole Maoer Hutong was very lively that day.

While He Daqing was thinking about things, the steamed buns on the stove were almost ready.
He Yushui couldn't wait to open the lid, then scooped out two and brought them to He Daqing, shouting,

"Dad, Dad, look, these are the steamed buns and cornbread that Brother Qingshan and I made. Come and try them and see if they are delicious."

Seeing the things handed over by his little girl, He Daqing took them with a smile.

"Okay, okay, Yushui and Qingshan can both cook now. Dad will have to taste your cooking today to see how good your cooking skills are."

"Hmm, try it, try it."

Seeing He Daqing pick up the steamed bun and take a bite, He Jianguo, who had just been put on the kang by the White Widow, immediately stretched out his hand and started babbling.
"Hmm, ah, haha."

Seeing his little son, who was about to turn one year old, dancing and jumping around in his daughter-in-law's arms, He Daqing walked over with a smile.

"You must be hungry. It's time to eat."

"Eat, eat."

When He Daqing and his wife heard He Jianguo accurately say the word "eat", they immediately shouted in surprise, "Wow, our Jianguo can speak, come and call mom, mom!"

"Call me daddy, daddy."

At this time, He Yushui and Li Qingshan, who heard the noise, also ran over, vying to have their younger brother call them brother or sister.
However, after the family struggled for a while, He Jianguo just stretched out his hand to ask for food.

However, He Daqing and his wife were still very happy that their son could speak.

Decided to celebrate with something nice tomorrow night.

"Zhu Zi, go to the market tomorrow morning to buy a few pounds of mutton, and then go to the pickle garden to buy some sesame paste. We will have mutton hotpot tomorrow night."

He Jianguo was able to slowly express himself, which meant that the probability of premature death was becoming smaller and smaller.

When I join the army in the future, He Daqing won't be so worried.
He Yuzhu naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Okay, then we'll have shabu-shabu tomorrow night to celebrate."

Then he looked at He Yushui and Li Qingshan who started clapping and cheering after hearing about eating shabu-shabu mutton and said,
"Besides mutton, what else do you two want to eat? Tell me and I'll buy it for you tomorrow."

"Candy ears, bro, I want candy ears."

Seeing He Yushui asking for snacks, Li Qingshan immediately raised his hand and said,
"Candied Haws, brother, I want Candied Haws."

Seeing that He Yushui and Li Qingshan wanted candied ears and candied haws respectively, both of them wanted to eat sweet food, He Yuzhu did not find it strange and agreed with a smile.
"Okay, then let's buy some candied ears and candied haws."

After dinner, He Daqing and his wife took He Jianguo out to show off.

When they heard him say that they were going to have mutton hotpot tomorrow night to celebrate, several families in the courtyard were thinking about having something delicious tomorrow so that they wouldn't drool at the aroma of the meat.

Early the next morning, He Yuzhu got up from the kang and went to
Just as I was about to go out to buy groceries, I saw Xu Fugui, Yi Zhonghai and others also going to the vegetable market, so we went together.

When He Yuzhu came back with the things, He Yushui and Li Qingshan were waiting for him at the gate of the courtyard.

When they saw him coming back to Lin'an, they rushed over.

"Brother, you are back."

Seeing these two people rushing towards him with smiles on their faces, turning their heads around while asking questions, He Yuzhu handed them the things in his hand with a smile.
"Here, I bought you some candied ears and candied haws. Take them and eat them."

Looking at what their brother handed over, He Yushui and the other man couldn't wait to take it, then tore open the brown paper and started eating it together.

"Mm, it's so delicious and sweet."

Looking at his satisfied brothers and sisters, He Yuzhu smiled, then followed Hun Yi Zhonghai and the others into the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that other neighbors had also gotten up.
Yan Bugui, who heard the noise outside, came out to check the situation, and then saw Yi Zhonghai, Xu Fugui and others carrying meat and vegetables into the courtyard gate.

Immediately, his eyes lit up and he said,

"Wow, Lao Yi, Lao Xu, He Daqing said he wanted to eat mutton hotpot last night. I didn't expect you guys to buy meat too!"
