The next moment, everyone saw Zhou Dabing staggeringly pull the two children into his arms!

He served in the army for eight years. When he left, Zhou Lele was not even a year old!

During those eight years, due to special circumstances, he rarely went home!

However, he sent most of his allowance home every month. Later, when his sister-in-law gave birth to her second child, he planned to go back, but due to unforeseen circumstances, he was unable to do so.

In addition, he was all alone at that time. Many older people who were of marriageable age or were already married thought about going home to visit their relatives during holidays!

He had the qualifications and had joined the army earlier than him, so Zhou Dabing naturally couldn't say anything. He could only pretend to be stupid and say that he wasn't going home and gave up his visitation slot!

So he has basically never seen his second child since he was born!

Zhou Lele didn't have much of an impression either, especially since the two children had completely changed their names.

In the past, people in the village said that a humble name was easier to raise a child with. So, instead of calling them Gou Dan (Dog Egg), Lu Dan (Donkey Egg) or Tie Zhu (Iron Pillar) were used.

So Zhou Lele was called "Dog Egg" and "Dog Egg" when he was a child!

Zhou Lele shuddered, her whole body exuding disbelief!

He and his sister were also kidnapped. They barely escaped, but his sister suffered many injuries to her back as a result!

The scars haven't faded to this day, and his arm was broken by kidnappers during an escape attempt!

They met a kind doctor in the countryside who gave them a simple fixation and bandaging, and the two children continued on their way. After a while, Zhou Lele could barely use one of his arms!

They only came to Beijing in the second half of this year. They met a kind person who, upon hearing that they were going to the military base to find someone, happily took the two children with them.

Unexpectedly, the news from the other side was that Zhou Dabing had already retired due to injury!

He didn't ask the military for a job, he just took his demobilization allowance and left, and they didn't even know he had gone!

And just like that, the three of them went their separate ways!

Zhou Xinxin knew that this was her own second uncle, so she hugged Zhou Dabing's neck and cried her heart out!

They had a very hard life. They were well raised by their parents and were healthy with chubby cheeks!

But now, Zhou Dabing, holding the skin and bones of his child in his arms, is filled with remorse!

Why didn't he leave a letter or even a message for his comrades in the army? Then his two children wouldn't have had to suffer so much.

When Xiao Liuzi was assigned tasks by Lu Zhiye, he ran back breathlessly and saw Zhou Dabing, this imposing man, crying even harder than the two children!

He cautiously approached Lu Zhiye and said, "Mr. Lu, this is something Aunt Yan gave me."

They said these were all taken from your house, and they wanted to give them to the children to change into!

The clothing store also sells children's clothes, but these children are all beggars, dressed in tattered clothes. If they were to wear the clothes from the clothing store, it might be a disaster for them!

Lu Zhiye distributed the clothes to the children and handed the remaining two pieces of clothing to Zhou Dabing: "The children only ate meat buns to fill their stomachs, so I had someone prepare some dishes. Let's sit together and have a proper meal."

Besides, these two outfits are from when our kids were little, about the same height as them now. Wear them, it's terribly cold outside!

Zhou Dabing quickly wiped away his tears and put the clothes on the two children!

Zhou Xinxin felt that her clothes were too dirty and absolutely refused to put on the clean clothes!

She's only six years old this year, and through all the ups and downs, she's come to understand a lot of things!

She sniffled and whispered, "Could you find me a room so I can change all my clothes? They're so dirty, I don't want to get my sister's clothes dirty!"

Clearly, the little girl still remembers whose things she used when she was in the Lu family!

Lu Zhiye glanced at the old lady sitting under the eaves. Jian Nanxing seemed to understand his meaning and stood up with difficulty: "Come inside with me. I have a few children's clothes in my room!"

It's perfect to wear underneath; in the dead of winter, just wearing a cotton-padded coat isn't appropriate!

The situation was urgent, and no one had time to search through all their clothes, inside and out!

Zhou Xinxin looked at Zhou Dabing with a hint of pleading. Zhou Dabing nodded: "Let your sister Xiaoli take you!"

When Zhou Dabing ran into Yang Li at the clothing store before, he felt that this girl looked a bit familiar!

The two are two years apart in age; Yang Li has matured and blossomed as she's grown up.

In addition, she speaks and acts decisively, and wears beautiful clothes, which is really different from the drab little girl she used to be!

That's why Zhou Dabing didn't recognize him!

Yang Li led Zhou Xinxin into the house. Jian Nanxing was stroking the clothes in her hands. These were her daughter's clothes when she was little, more than 20 years old, and they were her only keepsake.

Looking at this pretty little girl now is like seeing my daughter when she was little!

The room was cool and damp. Zhou Xinxin couldn't help but shiver as soon as she took off her inner clothes.

Yang Li didn't recognize the old woman in front of her either. She saw the old woman holding clothes, as if she was recalling something.

She couldn't bear to disturb them, after all, she was the one asking for their help!

So they just put the coat on Zhou Xinxin first.

Jian Nanxing finally snapped out of her reverie. Not wanting Yang Li to touch the clothes, she raised her chin and said to Zhou Xinxin, "Take off your coat and put this on!"

As she spoke, she turned on the light.

Zhou Xinxin's eyes crinkled with laughter at the thought that she would no longer have to live in fear!

No longer feeling cold, he quickly took off his coat and reached for the clothes in Jian Nanxing's hand!

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Jian Nanxing's eyes were like torches, her hand gripped the other end of her clothes tightly, and her back, which had been slightly hunched just moments before, was now ramrod straight.

His eyes were so wide they almost bulged out, which looked quite frightening!

This startled Yang Li and Zhou Xinxin. Yang Li instinctively pulled Zhou Xinxin behind her and stammered, "Grandma, Grandma, what are you doing?"

No wonder they were scared. Jian Nanxing looked like an old woman who had risen from the dead in a coffin, her body stiff and her eyes wide with rage.

He stared intently at Zhou Xinxin's chest, as if he were about to devour her at any moment.

Zhou Xinxin was so frightened that she couldn't control herself anymore and wet her pants!

The screams echoed into the courtyard outside!

Everyone was startled, with Lu Zhiye and Zhou Dabing reacting the fastest.

They rushed into the house and saw Zhou Xinxin, who was wearing a coat tightly wrapped around her shoulders, her eyes red from crying, and she was huddled close to Yang Li.

Yang Li's body was also trembling. Lu Zhiye quickly looked at the old lady and found that her body was extremely stiff. She was probably suffering from a heart attack due to anxiety.

He rushed to the old woman's side and pressed on a certain acupoint...
