章 1971: Brothers For Life

"Brother Xiao Ding, your brothers and sisters have come to bring you home together. That means that they are very good to you. They have been thinking of you. They will dote on you and treat you well when you go back! Brother Xiao Ding, when you go back, you must study hard. When you join the army in the future, you must be as great as Uncle Lu! When you grow up, you must remember to look for us!"

"Xiao Ding, we have to be brothers for the rest of our lives, so you must remember us even if you go home!"

"Don't worry. I'll leave the village's number with you. I'll call you when I'm free!" Xiao Ding patted his chest confidently. "You too. When you find your family, you must inform me. You must keep in touch!"

Jiang Yao felt a warmth in her heart as she sat in the car on her way back to school. Children's vows had a type of power that could warm people.
