"Dad, she didn't have to lie to me." Su Yuehua had already guessed it in her heart, but she couldn't say it in front of the couple. The fact that Wang Yanhong took the initiative to find her meant that she wanted to show goodwill. It is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

......

Kaoshantun

Bai Xiuying has been very flustered these past two days. She said to Shen Chengzhong, "Chengzhong, call Chengyi tomorrow. Yuehua is having her first child and they are twins. I am a little worried."

"Okay, I'll go to the village office tomorrow morning to borrow a phone."

The next day, Shen Chengzhong was waiting at the village office before eight o'clock. As soon as eight o'clock arrived, he directly called Shen Chengyi's office.

"Hey, could you please help me find Shen Chengyi?"

When the man on the other end of the phone heard that the call was for Shen Chengyi, he was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Excuse me, who are you to, Shen Chengyi?"

Shen Chengzhong didn't think much about it and said politely: "I am Brother Shen Chengyi, comrade, please find it for me."

"Shen Chengyi fell off a cliff while on a mission and disappeared."

Chen Chengzhong seemed to be frozen, and the words on the phone kept repeating in his ears, "Chen Chengyi, fell off a cliff during a mission and disappeared, missing."

Village Chief Shen, who was sitting on the other side of the phone, saw his expression, stood up from his chair, bent over and asked, "Chengzhong, what happened to Chengyi?"

Shen Chengzhong held the microphone tightly with both hands, unable to say a word, which made Village Chief Shen anxious. He directly snatched the microphone and said, "Hello, comrade. I am Shen Chengyi's fifth uncle and also the village chief of Kaoshantun. What did you say about Chengyi just now?"

The man on the phone, the heavy voice sounded again, "Shen Chengyi, fell off a cliff while on a mission and disappeared."

If Village Chief Shen hadn't been holding onto the desk, he would have almost fallen over. He hung up the phone, slumped down in his chair, and hammered his chest, saying, "Chengyi is the most promising one in our Shen family. How come..."

He didn't dare say anything further, for fear that it would come true.

"Ring ring."

The phone rang again and again, but the two of them acted as if they didn't hear it.

As soon as the village accountant walked into the office, he saw the two people looking distraught. He walked towards the phone and muttered, "What's wrong with these two today? The phone has been ringing for so long and they didn't even answer it."

After that, he picked up the phone and shouted loudly: "Hello, this is Kaoshantun, who do you want to see?"

No one answered the phone, and Fang Guoqiang thought he had called the wrong number. When he heard the other party say it was Kaoshantun, he was obviously relieved, "Please help me find the old Shen family."

The village accountant patiently explained into the phone: "Which old Shen family are you looking for? There are several families with the surname Shen in our village."

Fang Guoqiang said politely: "Comrade, I am Shen Chengyi's father-in-law. Please help me call him and say that Chengyi's wife gave birth to triplets."

"Wait a minute, Brother Chengyi is on the phone." The village accountant directly put the receiver into Shen Chengzhong's hand, "Chengyi's father-in-law called and said that Chengyi's wife gave birth to triplets."

At this moment, Shen Chengzhong was still confused, "What did you say?"

Village Chief Shen was the first to react. He pointed at the phone and said, "Chengzhong, answer the phone quickly. It's Chengyi's father-in-law calling. He said Chengyi's wife gave birth to triplets."

Shen Chengzhong sobered up instantly, raised his arm and wiped his tears with his sleeve, picked up the microphone and said, "Uncle, hello, I am Shen Chengzhong."

"Cheng Zhong and Cheng Yi are on a mission and haven't come back yet. Yue Hua just gave birth and it was inconvenient for her to call, so she asked me to call you to tell you that she has given birth to two boys and a girl." When Fang Guoqiang mentioned the three children on the phone, he smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close.

"Triplets?" Shen Chengzhong was surprised and happy to hear that Su Yuehua had given birth to triplets, but when he thought of Shen Chengyi's whereabouts, his heart ached, "Uncle, I will buy a ticket in a while, and I will go there as soon as possible with my mother."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Chengzhong sat down on the chair, rubbed his face with both hands, and tried to calm himself down, "Fifth Uncle, what should I say to my mother about Chengyi's disappearance?"

Village Chief Shen pulled the tobacco bag from his waist, rolled a cigarette and took two puffs before saying, "Sometimes, you can't hide it even if you want to. Tell your mother the truth."

Shen Chengzhong nodded and walked out of the village office with red eyes.

Bai Xiuying saw him coming back, put down what she was doing, and stood up from the kang, "Chengzhong, did you get through on the phone? What did Chengyi say?"

Chen Chengzhong lowered his head, never daring to look at Bai Xiuying, "Mom, Chengyi's father-in-law just called and said that Chengyi's wife gave birth to triplets, two boys and a girl."

"Chengzhong, what did you say? Chengyi's wife gave birth to triplets. Didn't she say in the previous letter that they were two? That's great." Bai Xiuying was so excited that she danced with joy and began to rummage through the cabinet.

He also reminded her, "Chengzhong, you and Yumei should take good care of the house while I'm away."

When Li Yumei heard that Su Yuehua had given birth, she was also happy, but she was a little confused when she saw Shen Chengzhong's expression, "Chengzhong, your sister-in-law has given birth, why are you not happy? Don't stand there like an idiot, go buy a train ticket for your mother."

At this time, Shen Chengzhong could no longer hold it in. The 1.8-meter-tall man squatted on the ground, covering his face and crying.

"Dad, Xiaohu, don't scare me. What happened to my sister-in-law? She's still a child. Say something! I'm so anxious." Li Yumei was so anxious that she punched him twice.

Shen Chengzhong's eyes were red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Mother, Chengyi fell off a cliff and disappeared during the mission."

"What did you say? When did it happen?" Bai Xiuying was still calm, but she couldn't stop the tears in her eyes.

Chen Chengzhong raised his hand and wiped his face randomly. "I called Chengyi's unit, and the person who answered the phone said that Chengyi fell off a cliff and disappeared during a mission. I was confused at the time and forgot to ask when it happened. Just now, Chengyi's father-in-law called me, and from what she said, Yuehua seemed to be unaware of this."

Bai Xiuying held her chest and gasped for breath. After a long while, she spoke: "Boss, please go buy me a ticket. It would be best if you can buy one for tomorrow morning."

"Mom, I'll go with you." After saying that, Shen Chengzhong quickly ran out of the yard and headed to the village office to ask Village Chief Shen for a letter of introduction.

......

Su Yuehua planned to be discharged from the hospital after staying there for a few days. Old Mrs. Rong originally wanted her to stay at home to recuperate after the baby is born, but she flatly refused.

After all, Mrs. Rong is just a grandmother, and she still knows her limits in some matters.

The three little ones seemed to have telepathy. As soon as one of them cried, the other two would follow suit. She could not take care of three little ones by herself, so Huang Guihua and her husband had to go home with her to help take care of them.

Su Yuehua got out of the jeep holding the child and saw Bai Xiuying and Shen Chengzhong sitting in front of the building.
