When Fu Ziyi was driving, he kept looking at her out of the corner of his eye. This was the first time he was so close to her after Captain Xiao died.
Jiaojiao has also lost a lot of weight, but that's because she started exercising, so her blood is sufficient, her complexion is fair but not weak, and she looks like peach blossoms in March, beautiful and delicate, charming but not vulgar, and anyone who sees her will be delighted.
Fu Ziyi's hands gripping the steering wheel kept tightening. In the past, he didn't dare to think about Captain Xiao being alive, but now, he can think about it.
The hospital was almost there, and after asking the nurse, the two quickly went to the ward.
"The patient suffered a sudden shock due to long-term fatigue and mental exhaustion. He needs to have a good rest during this period and it is best to keep a happy mood." The doctor said.
Xiao Jiaojiao sighed in her heart, she already knew the saddest thing, how could she be happy?
Father Xiao had already woken up, and he stared at the ceiling blankly, as if he had lost his mind.
He took care of a large family of more than ten children without feeling tired or exhausted, but the moment he lost his loved ones and relatives, he could no longer hold on.
"Dad, the people in the military district haven't found Xiaozhou's body yet. Maybe he is not dead." Xiao Jiaojiao used the same words that others had used to coax her countless times to coax Xiao's father.
Father Xiao closed his eyes and said, "No need to comfort me like this, I'll be fine after a while, you guys go out first."
Two lines of tears slid down his cheeks.
Jiaojiao opened her mouth, but she had experienced this kind of pain before and knew it would be better to be alone at this time.
Moreover, she knew that Father Xiao would not give in easily, and with Xiao Yueyue around, there was always some hope.
It's this process that is too painful.
Yi Jiaojiao was sitting outside, and Fu Ziyi was sitting one seat away, looking at her eagerly.
The gaze of that girl was too strong. She frowned and looked back: "Why are you looking at me?"
Fu Ziyi's ears turned red, and he looked away in panic, "No, nothing."
Xiao Jiaojiao knew what he was thinking and said coldly, "I am grateful to you for sending me here, but I also saved your grandfather. Mr. Fu asked me a favor, and this is your Fu family's repayment to me. Now we are even, you can leave."
Fu Ziyi's face turned miserable in an instant.
"No, I sent you here voluntarily. It has nothing to do with my grandfather's affairs."
Xiao Jiaojiao said impatiently: "Comrade Fu, you have been sitting here all this time, aren't you just waiting for me to express this attitude?
You can't possibly be attracted to a widow like me and deliberately approach me to take advantage of me while my husband's body is still warm."
The next thing she said was so loud that everyone around her looked over at once.
A nurse passing by reminded them to keep their voices down, but she blocked Jiaojiao's view with her body without leaving any trace, and looked warily at the man in military uniform opposite her.
Fu Ziyi's face turned grim, "That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean? Why do you want to stay with me, a soldier's widow?" Jiaojiao asked aggressively.
Fu Ziyi wanted to say that he was coveting it, but the gazes of the people around him made him feel uneasy. He did not dare to admit it, for fear of affecting his career that he had worked so hard to get promoted.
"Sorry, I'm just tired. I want to sit down and rest for a while. I'm sorry for causing you to misunderstand me." This was all Fu Ziyi could say.
Jiaojiao's expression eased a little: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood. You can leave after you have a good rest."
Having said that, her hand was trembling as she held the nurse's hand. The nurse held her hand back and looked at Fu Ziyi more warily.
"I'm leaving now." That was all Fu Ziyi could say as he left in a hurry.
A hint of disdain flashed across Jiaojiao's eyes.
Fu Ziyi is such a person, seemingly sincere and passionate, but selfish and timid.
She can treat this man as a friend, but since he can't figure it out, she can't blame her for turning against him.
After hanging up the water, Father Xiao regained some spirit.
In the evening, they had dinner at the house of Qi.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time that the Yi family had dinner with their father-in-law.
Although Xiao's father was a country man, he was not petty. The only thing he saw was a look of fear when his father-in-law called him father-in-law.
"No, no, Xiaozhou is dead, Jiaojiao is free now, and can get married again."
When he said this, everyone present was surprised.
In this era, although it is generally accepted that a soldier's widow is free to remarry after his death, in most areas, it is still believed that the widow should remain chaste.
Of course, the father of the Qi family thought that it was right for his daughter to remarry, but he did not expect that the father of the Xiao family also thought so.
Jiaojiao felt it was a bit awkward to bring up the topic of her remarriage at the dinner table, "Dad, let's eat first."
Father Xiao then started to eat, his tears falling into the bowl as he trembled. It was obvious that he was not at peace inside.
