Early the next morning, Manman woke up from his sleep.

He had a good dream last night, so he was in a very good mood when he opened his eyes.

Soon, he found a red envelope under his small pillow.

The most important thing is that there is 60 cents inside the envelope! !

Could this be...

A pair of big eyes were wide open.

"Mom! What is this?" Manman put on his shoes and ran out. At a glance, he saw his mother sitting by the charcoal brazier listening to the radio.

Her wet hair was draped over her shoulders, and her profile was quiet and beautiful, as beautiful as a painting of a beautiful lady!

Jiang Ningning smiled and said, "This is the New Year's money for Zizi. Do you like it?"

After getting a positive answer from my mother, I was so excited that I smiled and showed my little tiger teeth, "I like it!"

Every New Year's Day, the other kids in the compound would compete with each other to see who got more New Year's money.

The grandson of Director Wang had the most money, fifty cents, and he had a full ten cents more than him!

In previous years, he and his sister could only watch from afar.

This year, they are the ones who get the most New Year's money in the family compound!

Full of joy, Dada ran back to his room to share with his sister.

Seeing that the little dumplings were all awake, Jiang Ningning began to get up and pack her things. I don’t know when I’ll come back next time, so I’ll try to bring as much as possible.

Take a can of milk powder, four or five pieces of fruit, and some cakes with you, otherwise they will go bad if you don't eat them later.

In addition, you should also bring some canned meat, sausages, and other meat dishes that are durable and easy to cook, so that you won't always get Lin Xiaoyan's things for free.

When adults get along with each other, taking advantage of others is a sign of education, while exchanging favors is a sign of self-cultivation.

By the time they had packed two sets of clothes for the mother and her two children, the military backpack was already stuffed full.

Jiang Ningning is a person who is willing to put herself in a difficult position and try her best to improve her quality of life in a difficult environment.

Besides, there is a military doctor to endorse her, so the mother can take good care of her health!

The timing was perfect. By the time the two girls had finished washing up, the sound of a car horn rang out from the family quarters.

There was someone in the yard looking around, and only after being caught by Jiang Ningning did he walk in hesitantly.

"Sister-in-law, let me help you carry your things!" Guard Xiao Zhang said without hesitation, picked up his backpack and left.

If he had followed Captain Huo on the mission that day, he would definitely have been able to stop Song Jiaxue and get the captain onto the helicopter.

The heavy eye bags were like two small blue bags hanging under his tired eyes. Xiao Zhang walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, his face full of guilt and self-blame.

Manman's eyes twinkled, and he followed, "Mom, I'll go help you thank Uncle Zhang."

Looking at his anxious back, Jiang Ningning knew what he was going to do by guessing.

After locking the doors and windows, she took Xia Xia's hand and walked out of the yard, just in time to see the neighbor opening the door.

The two looked at each other silently.

Zhang Yun was so angry that she used the bamboo basket in her pocket to cover her face.

This was the first time they met since the last "reporting incident". When I met her clear and sharp eyes, I felt that my inner thoughts were exposed, as if she saw through me.

She controlled herself and looked away, her expression somewhat embarrassed.

How does Jiang Ningning see herself?

Disappointment, resentment, or hatred for her betrayal?

Jiang Ningning had already withdrawn her gaze and continued to walk forward with her daughter. For insignificant people, take away any of her attention.

The reason why she took a second look was because the girl Zhang Yuntian was holding was Yaozu, whom she regarded as a treasure, and was one of her daughters.

"Mom, Aunt Jiang is so awesome!" Daya's sallow and thin face was full of admiration.

The news spread throughout the family area, and Jiang Ningning volunteered to go to the front line to participate in the rescue. Although her body was so thin, the power within her was extremely powerful.

It is said that the huge blackboard poster at the gate of the military district was also created by her. The heroine on the blackboard was holding a steel fork, which was the magic needle that pierced Daya's almost dying heart.

Zhang Yun was worried, "Let's go quickly. Let's weave a few more sacks for the rescue work tomorrow. If we perform better, we can get your dad out earlier."

Hearing this, Daya shuddered subconsciously, and her expression dimmed.

It is obvious that the dog I hold is what I have always dreamed of, and it is as generous and warm as I imagined.

But at this moment, it was like a poisonous snake that was tightly gripping her, desperately dragging her into the quagmire - to repeat the life she had experienced before!

Daya's voice was as soft as a mosquito, "Mom, if Dad comes out, will he beat us again?"

Zhang Yun didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"

Daya had no choice but to repeat it.

Then, he felt the fingers holding his own suddenly tighten, the nails digging into the bruises that had not healed.

At this time, Daya heard her voice trembling, but also revealed a hint of determination: "During these days of his life, we sisters have been happier than ever before, and Yaozu no longer beats and scolds us like he used to.

Everyone can have enough food, so why should we help him get out early? He will beat you to death..."

Bang!

The rest of the words were stuck in her throat. Daya turned her head away, her cheeks burning with pain.

"What nonsense are you talking about! What man wouldn't beat his wife? Back then, your grandfather used a belt to beat your grandmother so hard that she had to stay up for three days. Just bear with it and it will pass. We women all went through this."

Zhang Yun's voice became louder and louder, as if she was admonishing Daya, or admonishing herself, "Your father is the pillar of the family. Only with him can this family fall. Do you think you are a bastard without a father?"

Daya had heard such self-deceiving words at least ten thousand times, and suddenly remembered Jiang Ningning's words in her mind, why can she control her own life?

The sea breeze suddenly became stronger.

Zhang Yun's voice was mixed with the whistling sound, whispering like a devil: "You are the eldest in the family, and it is your innate responsibility to take good care of your brothers and sisters. When you grow up, Mom will find a good marriage for you, and then you will be able to enjoy happiness..."

The suffocating feeling brought by her original family made Daya unable to breathe. She stared at the back of Jiang Ningning who was walking away in front of her.

That army green back figure was particularly eye-catching among the gray walls and black tiles.

"Aunt Jiang is just like you! Uncle Huo is just like dad! Xia Xia is exactly like us sisters!!"

Tears covered her face, and grievance and sadness burst out in an instant.

The four sisters secretly leaned over the wall to watch. Aunt Jiang treated the two children equally. She would braid Xia Xia's beautiful hair and kiss her and hug her.

"That girl is nothing but a money-loser!"

Zhang Yun felt ashamed and angry. She pulled Daya over and slapped her, scolding her as she beat her: "You envy the Huo family, why don't you go and kiss Jiang Ningning's mother? Let her recognize you. Who told you that you deserved to be born in my belly? This is your fate, you have to learn to accept it!"

She had resisted when she was young, but was oppressed by the feudal idea of ​​male superiority and female inferiority.

That's when she learned to accept her fate.
