Chapter 174 On the Eve of a Long Journey
"Shu Yu has learned skills from you for several years, but no matter how well she learns, no matter how powerful she is, she is still a girl.
She has lived in the countryside for so many years and has never traveled far. There are all kinds of people on the train. What if she encounters a criminal gang that specializes in kidnapping girls?
You let her, a girl, go on a long journey to take those things out and hide them somewhere else. What if those people find out and target her? You are putting the child in danger for no reason!"
This is the cowshed. Liang Jun was so angry that she dared not speak loudly. She tried her best to control her emotions. Even so, Taotao was still frightened by his grandmother and cried.
The little guy was crying breathlessly, and he comforted Liang Jun with a sobbing voice, "Nanny, don't cry, don't be angry, don't scold grandpa,
Grandpa, don't make grandma angry, apologize!"
Liang Jun hugged her frightened grandson and comforted him, but she looked at her husband with a cold face.
Yang Zhen patted Rizi's back gently, "Don't be angry first, listen to me, Shuyu is a smart child, and she is also capable of protecting herself. She is smarter than we thought, and she will not be in any danger on this long journey.
I have no choice. The only person we can trust now is Shu Yu. It is not safe to keep those things in the original place.
Sooner or later, those people will find the place and if the things fall into their hands, it will be a huge loss for our country and for us.
Xiangbei sacrificed his life to protect those things. I cannot let my son-in-law’s sacrifice be in vain. Those things must not fall into their hands.”
The things of their country, the results of their hard work, day and night, repeated experiments, and countless efforts, energy, and financial resources to develop, must not be allowed to be found by those people!
"But it's too risky to let Shu Yu move those things alone!"
Liang Jun knew how important those things were, but compared to those things, Liang Jun was more worried about his granddaughter.
The couple have contributed enough to the country, and their son-in-law and daughter have also sacrificed their lives for it. Their granddaughter lost her parents at a young age, and she and Lao Yang were not able to be by her side to protect her as she grew up. In her heart, Liang Jun always felt that she was guilty of her granddaughter.
Fortunately, my granddaughter has lived a good life in the countryside over the years. She has grandparents who love her like a treasure, and cousins who treat her like their own sisters.
Although those aunts all have their own little thoughts, they are under pressure from their father-in-law and mother-in-law, so they cannot get any good from their granddaughter, and her granddaughter has never suffered any grievances.
If his granddaughter didn't live well in the countryside, Liang Jun wouldn't know how to face her.
"It's okay. We should trust Shu Yu. She will come back safely."
If he had a choice, Yang Zhen didn't want to let his granddaughter travel far away, but now he has no choice. In the current situation, there are not many people he can trust. He is comforting his wife and himself at the same time.
Dawn!
Shen Shuyu got up and had breakfast, then said to Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen, "Grandpa and Grandma, Second Aunt, I'm going on a long journey."
"What? Going away? Where to?"
"Go to Hashi!"
"Harbin? Why are you going to Harbin for no reason? It's far away and it takes several days by train.
"My dear, who asked you to go? Just listen to me. We are not going. It is not safe outside. There are many liars and bad guys. Why would a grown-up girl like you go so far away?"
As soon as she said she was going on a long journey, Old Mrs. Shen began to recall who her sweetheart had been in contact with recently. Sweetheart has a simple mind, so he must not be fooled by anyone!
Old Man Shen also disagreed, "My dear, listen to your grandma and stay at home. I heard from your second grandfather a while ago that it's a mess outside. We are worried about you, a girl, going out.
Shen Chunling also disagreed a hundred times, "Shu Yu, be obedient, we won't go. If you want to go, after a few years when things are settled outside, Second Aunt will accompany you out, and you can go wherever you want."
The second uncle is the team leader and knows more than them. He said it is chaotic outside, and it is really chaotic outside. Now this child says he wants to go to Harbin, but Shen Chunling does not support it.
Only Gu Jiandong stroked Bai Luobo's dog tail and said, "If Shu Yu wants to go out, I want to go out too. I can protect Shu Yu."
White radish barks, "Woof woof woof" (Dogs can also protect their owners.)
Shen Shuyu knew that her grandparents and second aunt would not agree to her going out, so she called them back into the house.
"Grandpa, grandma, second aunt, I have to go out for something important this time. Don't worry, I will protect myself and won't put myself in danger.
Besides, not every place is in chaos now. I have asked around and Harbin is not in chaos and is very safe.”
Old Mrs. Shen's face was full of worry. "What's going on? Why does it have to happen?"
Shen Shuyu found an excuse, "It's Uncle Zhou from the army. He needs my help to run some errands. Grandpa, grandma, and second aunt, don't worry. Nothing will happen to me when I'm away. Uncle Zhou has arranged everything."
"It's Xiao Zhou who wants your help, this..." Old Man Shen looked at the old woman, not knowing what to say for a moment. In his heart, he didn't want his granddaughter to go far away.
But Xiao Zhou has taken good care of Guaibao over the years, and he and his comrades would send packages to him from time to time, containing things that they could not easily buy.
When Old Lady Shen heard that it was Xiao Zhou who called her granddaughter to go out, her worries were mostly relieved. She had great trust in her military comrades. Xiao Zhou and her fourth child had been comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side.
After Lao Si left, his comrades took good care of Guai Bao. If this trip was unsafe, Xiao Zhou would not let Guai Bao go out.
After thinking for a while, he nodded slowly, "Since Xiao Zhou needs Guaibao's help, then Guaibao, go!"
Shen Chunling didn't expect her parents to change their minds so quickly. "Mom and Dad, why did you agree so quickly? It's so unsafe for Shu Yu to go out alone."
"My dear, I've already said that Xiao Zhou has arranged everything. Nothing will happen."
Shen Chunling was not as easy to fool as the old man and the old lady. She looked at her niece suspiciously, "Comrade Zhou is a soldier, what can he need your help with?
You are not trying to trick us..."
Her second aunt seemed to want to get to the bottom of the matter, so Shen Shuyu laughed and stood up, "Grandma, second aunt, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go to the station to get my ticket. I'm leaving first."
She pushed her bicycle out of the house, and Gu Jiandong and Bai Luobo followed her out, "Shu Yu, where are you going? I want to go too!"
"Be good, next time I take you out, have you crocheted my sweater? If not, go back and crochet a sweater. I want to wear the sweater knitted by Gu Jiandong."
"Not yet. I'm going back to crochet a sweater now."
