When Pei Shujing heard her stepson mention the name Sui Jiaxiang, her expression changed for a long time.
When Zhang Hongcheng told Pei Shujing what Sui Jiaxiang had done, she was stunned for a long time before she sighed softly.
"I've heard of this person. The Sui family does have some connection with our family..."
Pei Shujing's tone was a little hesitant, but seeing Zhang Hongcheng's inquiring eyes, she hesitated for a while and finally told him the old story.
The country had just been founded at that time.
There was war raging on the other side of the Yalu River.
Countless young men and women came from all over the country to join in this war that forged the country's borders with flesh and blood.
Among them are Pei Shujing from Hangzhou and her fellow villager Zhou Hangping.
Pei Shujing's family background is somewhat similar to Chu Miaohong's, except that she studied Western medicine, and her parents joined DXD in their early years. She has been living with her grandmother in Hangzhou.
Zhou Hangping is Pei Shujing's schoolmate and was a famous flower in Hangzhou at that time.
She studied ballet before 1949.
The two passionate female students secretly signed up to join the army and went to the 38th parallel.
Pei Shujing was an intern military doctor, and Zhou Hangping joined the front-line art troupe.
The unit they followed was the one that charged the most fiercely, so they encountered trouble during the retreat after the final battle.
A reconnaissance squad was responsible for covering their retreat.
The acting squad leader was from Hunan Province, only one year older than the two of them, and his name was Zhang Qianyi.
The retreat was an extremely thrilling experience.
Pei Shujing and Zhou Hangping were both rescued from the clutches of death by Zhang Qianyi many times.
The two female comrades' minds began to change slowly towards this somewhat cool and handsome acting squad leader.
In the last battle before successfully reaching the destination, Zhang Qianyi was hit by three bullets while protecting Zhou Hangping.
After a day and a night of rescue, Zhang Qianyi was in a coma for two full days.
Zhou Hangping sat by Zhang Qianyi's bed for two days and two nights without eating or drinking. Pei Shujing saw everything. She finally chose to hide her feelings and help her two friends.
After Zhang Qianyi and Zhou Hangping got married, Zhou Hangping chose to retire and return to Zhang Qianyi's hometown to work in a machinery factory, while Zhang Qianyi and Pei Shujing continued to stay in the army.
The first conflict between Zhou Hangping and Zhang Qianyi broke out on the day the troops set out for the plateau.
But no one could persuade Zhang Qianyi.
Zhang Qianyi followed the troops to the plateau, and the couple fell into a cold war from then on.
The turning point came during a home visit, when Zhou Hangping finally became pregnant with Zhang Hongcheng, and the relationship between the couple eased.
But in 1955, when Zhang Hongcheng was not even two years old, several things happened in the Zhang family, which eventually led to the breakup of Zhang Qianyi and Zhou Hangping.
Zhang Hongcheng's grandfather who fled to Hong Kong Island contacted the mainland in 1954 and helped his daughter and son-in-law complete the procedures for going abroad.
Unfortunately, the stubborn Zhang Qianyi refused to do it, causing Zhou Hangping to cry all day at home.
Zhou Hangping had already decided to stay, but something that happened next made her change her mind.
The staff hospital of the newly built machinery factory at that time was a mixed bag of good and bad people.
Sui Wen, whose family had been practicing quack doctors for a long time, was one of them.
Sui Wen was already thirty years old at the time and married a country woman who was arranged by his family.
The Sui Jiaxiang mentioned by Zhang Hongcheng is Sui Wen’s son.
The year the incident happened, Zhang Hongcheng was two years old and Sui Jiaxiang was four years old.
Zhou Hangping is the most beautiful woman in the factory, and some even say she is the most beautiful in the entire county.
Her every move was secretly watched by many people.
Among them is Sui Wen.
He knew about the conflict between Zhou Hangping and Zhang Qianyi, and Zhou Hangping often went to the hospital for treatment due to emotional fluctuations.
Every time Zhou Hangping went to see a doctor, Sui Wen would intentionally or unintentionally wander around the gynecology department, hoping to strike up a conversation with Zhou Hangping.
Unfortunately, Zhou Hangping is very smart. She always stays away from men like Sui Wen and never gives others any chance.
But Sui Wen was completely carried away, thinking that the relationship between Zhou Hangping and Zhang Qianyi had completely broken down, and he could just "take advantage of the opportunity."
Because of Zhou Hangping's disturbance, Zhang Qianyi had to take leave and come back to deal with it.
But in order to visit his comrades' parents, he made a sudden decision to arrive home a day later.
Because of this sudden incident, Zhou Hangping was so angry that she forgot to lock the window that night.
If Zhang Hongcheng hadn't suddenly burst into tears, Zhou Hangping, who was awakened, would not have noticed that there was someone standing in front of the bed.
Zhou Hangping, who struggled desperately, was almost strangled to death by Sui Wen. Fortunately, the neighbors arrived in time.
Sui Wen jumped off a building and ran away. The police chased him for half a year but failed to catch him. He disappeared without a trace.
After this incident, Zhou Hangping completely exploded and forced Zhang Qianyi to choose, either go abroad together or divorce!
According to the analysis of the neighbors at that time, Zhou Hangping was actually forcing Zhang Qianyi.
Zhang Hongcheng's father thought about it and finally nodded.
Zhou Hangping happily arranged for the two to go abroad, but when the time came, a major incident occurred at the military base (everyone can check the schedule themselves), and the troops entered level one combat readiness.
Upon receiving the news, Zhang Qianyi rushed back to the army without saying a word.
When the war was over, Zhang Qianyi rushed back and saw only a divorce agreement left by Zhou Hangping.
Zhang Hongcheng lived with his grandmother between the ages of two and three, and did not have a very deep impression of his mother.
A year after the divorce, Pei Shujing and Zhang Qianyi got together under the introduction of their leader.
The following year, they gave birth to Zhang Yumin.
With the passing of Zhang Hongcheng's grandmother, Pei Shujing transferred to the machinery factory and was responsible for taking care of the two children.
