Chapter 316 - 308: War and Opportunity
On New Year’s Eve, Tian Aiguo made a phone call, and everyone from the Tian Family rushed to the village committee office. Tian Aiguo’s voice over the phone sounded very calm, just like usual. As soon as the Old Man picked up the phone, he asked, "When?"
Tian Aiguo was silent for a while before answering, "Already ready for orders!"
"Fight them fiercely, and smash the spirit of those Vietnamese bastards," the Old Man was very excited, waving his left hand, as if he himself wanted to go to the battlefield.
"I will!" Tian Aiguo solemnly promised.
"Are Guanghua and the others in your unit?" the Old Man was actually worried about his grandsons.
"Guanghua and Chaohua are not, but Zhonghua and Qinghua are in my unit."
"Ai Guo, is there any way to keep Zhonghua and Qinghua from going? Ah? They are still so young. Our family has already sacrificed Guanghua, Chaohua, and Xinhua; just let Zhonghua and Qinghua come back, alright?"
Granny Zhao suddenly rushed over, snatched the microphone, and pleaded with Tian Aiguo on the phone, her voice filled with sorrow. It turned out that Granny Zhao was not as calm as she appeared; she had always hidden her sadness deep in her heart. Hearing her son’s voice made her emotions finally burst forth.
Granny Zhao’s words made several women in the room unable to hold back their tears, even Tian Manmu and the others looked visibly distressed. With the indiscriminate nature of weapons and the mercilessness of war, no one could guarantee a safe return from the battlefield.
These men were their flesh and blood, sons, and nephews; the pain in their hearts was indescribable. But these men were the pillars of the family; they could not show their sadness, they had to endure.
