Mr. Xu has been busy helping Mr. Tan deal with things in the town these days, and he has not received any other letters. Is there no big change?
However, accidents cannot be ruled out.
"I haven't received a message from outside in the past two days. I'll have someone check it out and let you know if I have any news."
Mr. Xu knows that Hongdou is not like other girls. She only cares about clothes and jewelry. The Xie family is now supported by her, so it is right to pay more attention to current affairs.
Hongdou thanked Mr. Xu for his kindness and then went back. He thought that the news now would not be delivered as conveniently as in later generations, so he would have to wait a few more days.
In the past few days, she could take Xiao Yaduo around to relax her mood. Who knew that as soon as it got dark, Mr. Xu would take the initiative to find Hongdou.
"Girl, there's news." Mr. Xu's expression couldn't be said to be very good, it could even be said to be ugly.
It also made Hongdou's heart tighten: "Sir?"
Xiaoya's originally relieved mood was once again brought back to its original state by Mr. Xu's expression.
It seemed she had to go.
The matter was so important that Mr. Xu did not dare to say it in front of everyone. Instead, he took Hongdou and Xiaoya to an open space. Only when he saw no one approaching did he dare to continue speaking:
"Girl, I just received a secret message. The head of the Lin family in Bianguan is missing."
"What?" Hongdou couldn't help but exclaimed.
The imperial reinforcements have not arrived yet, and the border general is in trouble. What should we do? Not to mention Xiaoya, Hongdou's heart was beating violently at this moment.
Something big is going to happen in Daqing, what are they going to do?
Mr. Xu also knows the seriousness of this matter, but fortunately he is old and has seen a lot, so he can still be stable. When the two girls were frightened, he could comfort them:
"Don't worry too much. This news has been blocked by the army. If anyone asked, they would only say that General Lin had received a secret order to do something."
"If the news is leaked to Mobei before the reinforcements arrive, the border will be really unstable." Although Mr. Xu is just a scholar, he has no force.
But he also has a patriotic heart, otherwise he would not be so concerned about border affairs.
Hongdou felt Xiaoya's trembling hands and couldn't help but increase the strength, trying her best to calm down Xiaoya. Xiaoya like this is indeed no longer suitable to stay here and wait for news.
"Sir, do you have a way to send people to the border?"
Mr. Xu was stunned. Now is the time when the border is tense. How can anyone still want to go to the border?
"Girl, are you going to go to the border?"
Hongdou knew that her husband had misunderstood, and explained: "It's not me, it's Xiaoya who wants to go."
Xiaoya's eyes were already red at this time. If Mr. Xu hadn't been here, her emotions would have been unbearable:
"Xiaoya's family is at the border. She was a little uneasy when she heard the news brought by Zhao Jinyuan today."
"That's why I went to ask you. I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
Mr. Xu was a little surprised to learn that Xiaoya's home was in the border area. He only knew that the child Xiaoya was picked up nearby by the Xie family.
It was not close to the border at all, and he had always thought that Xiaoya's hometown was nearby or not far from Fengdu County.
Otherwise, how could a little girl run here?
Now that I know it is at the border, it is really surprising.
"If that's the case, I can understand if you want to go to the border. It's just..." Mr. Xu looked at Xiaoya and couldn't help but persuade him as an elder:
"Girl Xiaoya, the situation at the border is a bit tense now. No one knows what the next step will be. I think you will be safe if you stay here."
Although family is very important, if something happens at the border on the way there, how much can a little girl do no matter how strong she is?
Don't get yourself involved again.
Xiaoya understood that Mr. Xu meant well, but she really couldn't stay alone and wait for the news, so she only bowed to Mr. Xu.
Show your determination.
Seeing this, Mr. Xu glanced at Hongdou inquiringly. Hongdou could only nod at Mr. Xu: "Please Sir, please think of a way to send Xiaoya to the border."
"In other words, I would have made the same decision as Xiaoya. How can I live a comfortable life without seeing that my family is safe with my own eyes." But she was worried about Xiaoya traveling alone: "I will let Brother Meng escort her for a while." It will be safer on the road."
"It's just that the situation is tense now, and the border checks must be strict, so I have to trouble you."
Now that both of them have made their decision, he can't stop him: "When do you want to leave?"
Hongdou glanced at Xiaoya and didn't want her to be in a hurry: "The sooner the better."
Mr. Xu nodded and accepted the matter: "I will find an experienced person who is familiar with the route and can handle things properly to take you all the way."
"It will save you some trouble on the road. Just wait for my news."
Hongdou and Xiaoya looked at each other and smiled, "Thank you, sir."
Since Mr. Xu agreed, he didn't shirk it and immediately ordered Agui to go out to do something.
If we set off earlier, Xiaoya's child can arrive earlier.
After Hongdou finished talking to Mr. Xu, he called Meng Da over and talked about sending Xiaoya to the border with him.
Meng Da didn't refuse. There were two and three children here, as well as the Sun family and the Zhao family taking care of him, so he didn't need to worry too much.
"Don't worry, sister Xie, I will take good care of sister Xiaoya, and we will send you messages in time on the way."
Meng Da has not traveled far yet, and the border is the place with the most wars. He is a grown man, and even if he does not want to die, he still has some lofty ideals.
It’s okay to go and have a look.
The rest is how Hongdou wants to talk to grandma, mother, and Tuan Geer. The Xie family had long regarded Xiaoya as family, and later went to the border.
Worry is definitely inevitable.
"What are you muttering about? It's time for dinner." Seeing Hongdou and Xiaoya discussing there for a long time, Mrs. Xie didn't know what to say.
Just as Aunt Qu had finished cooking the meal, she asked them to come over and eat.
Hongdou pulled Xiaoya to the place where everyone was eating. Danhong and Ah Mao helped carry the dishes and catch the cloth mats. When Granny Xie saw the two coming over, she said:
"Sit down quickly, it will get cold in a while." After the disaster, everyone ate together. Firstly, it was crowded and lively, and secondly, it could also intimidate others.
While everyone was here, Hongdou talked about the matter first: "I have something to tell you."
Mrs. Xie put a piece of meat into a red bean bowl. After hearing her granddaughter's words, she asked casually:
"What's going on?"
Hongdou raised the corners of her mouth and glanced at Xiaoya, then said seriously: "Xiaoya is going to the border."
Mrs. Xie:? ? ?
Zhang:. . .
Brother Tuan:! ! !
"Why go to the border when everything is fine? That's a war." Mrs. Xie said with her eyes bulging.
"Yes, Xiaoya, although we suffered the disaster not long ago, we have gradually stabilized. Once the government regulations are in place, we will be able to move back to the town soon."
Mrs. Zhang was a little frightened. People could easily die in border battles.
"Yes, Sister Xiaoya, if you leave, there will be no one to play with." Brother Tuan felt that the meat in his mouth no longer tasted good.
Others also tried to persuade her, but they didn't think much about it. They just thought that Xiaoya was young and stubborn.
Xiaoya felt a little heart-warming listening to everyone's concern and persuasion, but she had to go.
Hongdou knew that Xiaoya had made up her mind and didn't want her to have too much psychological burden, so she explained:
"Xiaoya's hometown is at the border!"
However, accidents cannot be ruled out.
"I haven't received a message from outside in the past two days. I'll have someone check it out and let you know if I have any news."
