Ye's mother knew that Ye Shaohua was a new recruit.
In the military, she actually hadn't learned much.
A few days ago, when she found out Ye Shaohua was going to undertake a mission, she had pleaded with Shaohua, urging her to give up this career.
That was because Shaohua's brother had died in the line of duty during a mission.
Yet, the evening before departing, upon hearing her words, Ye Shaohua just hugged her and said, "I am first and foremost a soldier, and behind the mission are millions of people. Although it's a bit dangerous, I am also very happy."
Ye's mother still remembered how, many years ago, her brother had said the same to her.
And then he never returned.
That's why Ye's mother didn't want Ye Shaohua to join the military, and even if she did, she wouldn't let anyone teach her too much.
Still, it ended up like this.
Having gone through this once already, this time Ye's mother didn't cry, moving about as if her soul had departed.
