Chapter 229 Chu Qian and his wife
Lin Anan had already packed up and was sitting on the kang sipping warm water.
"This incident today also reminds us that we should pay more attention to the diet and health of our family members and not neglect regular deworming."
"Um."
Lin Anan felt that Chu Mingzhou did care about his own affairs, but he was really rough with his younger siblings.
You say he can't raise them, but that's not true. At least the food and clothes they eat are better than those of ordinary people, and he is willing to spend money on the two little ones.
You say he raised her well, but he didn't even notice that Chu Minglan was being bullied for a long time. As for things like deworming and vaccinations, he must have been completely clueless.
When Chu Mingzhou lay down on the kang, Lin Anan felt a little distressed again. She put the water cup on the kang table, hummed, and leaned over to him, snuggling into his arms.
Having said that, it really wasn’t easy for him. When he lost his parents, he was still a teenager. He had been both a father and a mother for so many years...
Chu Mingzhou noticed Lin Anan's emotions and subconsciously tightened his arms, hugged her tighter, rested his chin gently on the top of her head, and asked softly: "What's wrong, are you still worried about Yu Ge'er? He's much better now."
Lin Anan rubbed against his arms and said in a muffled voice: "I'm not worried about Xiaoyu, I just suddenly feel a little sorry for you. How much suffering you have endured over the years..."
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Chu Mingzhou with eyes full of pity.
Chu Mingzhou was slightly startled, then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he raised his hand to rub her hair, "I don't feel bitter. Now that you are by my side and help me take care of the family, I am very happy."
Lin Anan actually saw a hint of dependence in Chu Mingzhou's eyes.
Is he dependent on himself?
"Chu Mingzhou, I am very weak..."
This was a confusing statement, but Chu Mingzhou understood it.
In fact, she always appeared delicate and dependent in front of him. She knew how to show weakness, how to rely on him, and even how to ask for things.
From the inside out, she was inspiring Chu Mingzhou's sense of responsibility and desire to protect, and made him subconsciously want to become stronger and keep her under his wings forever.
In fact, Chu Mingzhou knows everything and he is very clear-minded, but he is willing to be "driven" by her.
"You're all right."
Lin Anan's eyelashes trembled, and she felt her eyes were a little sore. She blinked, trying to suppress the sour feeling, and her voice was slightly choked with sobs: "I know it has not been easy for you these years. Let's run this family together and take good care of our brothers and sisters in the future."
Her hand rested gently on Chu Mingzhou's chest, feeling his steady heartbeat.
Chu Mingzhou held her hand, wrapped his warm palm around her small hand, and gently stroked it, "This is not the pressure you should have. Taking good care of yourself is better than anything else. I will always protect you. With you here, I feel at ease."
Lin Anan leaned on his shoulder, her thoughts drifting back to the past, and joked: "I think I have many advantages, such as... I not only have a good vision, but also better luck!
When I first came here, I was still confused. If it weren't for your good looks, I wouldn't have been able to live a good life with you. Now, I'm greedy for your beauty and I've lost myself."
The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and many scenes of the two of them getting along emerged in her mind. Those mornings and evenings, laughter and sweetness spent together, all became the most solid foundation of their relationship.
"Chu Mingzhou, you are so amazing. You have become the most important person to me."
Chu Mingzhou felt his heart tingle as he listened to her half-serious teasing. He tilted his head slightly, brushed his nose against her hair, and chuckled, "Well, I am lucky to be the most important person to you."
Lin Anan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently patted his chest, saying coquettishly: "You are so sweet! Forget it, just think that you have suffered too much, so I am giving you a little sweetness."
Chu Mingzhou hugged her tighter, "Yes, very sweet."
The moonlight outside the window was just right and the atmosphere inside the house was gentle. When Chu Mingzhou mentioned his parents again, his tone was relatively relaxed.
"My parents are both from military families. They were born and raised in the army, so they are both strong-willed. At that time, the war was turbulent, and my father followed my grandfather to the battlefield when he was fifteen years old..."
After turning off the lights, the two lay down. Chu Mingzhou held Lin Anan in his arms and whispered about his parents' past.
Lin Anan listened quietly and very seriously. She didn't need to take notes at all. She wrote down every word...
Chu Siran, the youngest brigade commander of the Northwest Army.
Once in a defensive battle, he led his troops to hold the position for nearly a month, cooperating with the Eighth Route Army to annihilate the enemy's 20th Division and 49th Brigade. He alone killed more than a thousand enemy soldiers. He was only 25 years old at that time.
Since then, he has been nicknamed Chu Qian.
He was also a well-known officer in the Northwest Army, and was famous for his ferocity whether in command or in solo combat.
But when people mention Chu Qian, the first person they think of is not him, but his daughter-in-law Mu Caihua.
Mu Caihua, the best sniper in Northwest China, once killed 472 enemy soldiers with 500 bullets during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, setting a record for the highest number of enemy kills with cold guns.
"My mother was a good-looking woman, but because of her reputation for being fierce, she never got married until she was 25. My father was the man she personally chose."
Chu Mingzhou smiled as he spoke, "She said that apart from Chu Qian, there is no one in the Northwest Army who can fight..."
These two people are a strong combination and are also well-known to be a good match.
After getting married, Chu Qian, the usually unruly Brigade Commander Chu, was also known as a henpecked man.
Later, Chu Mingzhou was born, and the family lived the happiest period of their lives.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When Chu Mingzhou was about to turn seventeen, the couple both died in the counterattack.
When they died, one was guarding the southernmost line of defense and the other was at the highest sniper point. The two were far apart and didn't even see each other for the last time.
No, to be precise, Mu Caihua saw Chu Qian. Before she fired her last bullet, she aimed her gun at him and saw him being blown to pieces by the enemy's artillery fire...
In the end, the war was won and the two won first-class merit, but Chu Mingzhou lost his parents.
Lin Anan sniffed and held Chu Mingzhou's hand tightly.
My great aunt said that although he used to be sensible, his personality was very much like his father.
Then Chu Mingzhou should be outspoken and casual.
But the Chu Mingzhou that Lin Anan saw was always calm, serious and cold.
How sad he must have been...
Lin Anan's heart ached when she thought of the pain Chu Mingzhou had experienced.
She raised her head and tried to find Chu Mingzhou's eyes in the darkness, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, husband, you still have me!"
Chu Mingzhou's tone was still very calm, without any emotional ups and downs. He patted her on the back and said, "It was really difficult at that time. I felt like the sky was falling. But I knew I couldn't fall down. I still had brothers and sisters to take care of."
Lin Anan caressed and held his hand, interlocking their fingers, "It's different now, you are not alone anymore, I will always be with you."
"Well, remember what you said."
"Don't change in your life."
