Chapter 428: Nian Nian Recognizes Her Father
Seeing Ye Xiaolin getting closer and closer, Zhang Changjiang finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Let go, I can walk by myself."
Nian Nian behind him grabbed Ye Xiaomei's legs tightly, and one could clearly feel him trembling with fear.
Ma Qijun also understood what was said at this moment, and subconsciously looked at the child, who looked to be about two years old:
"Your name is Nian Nian?"
He had to squat down to be at eye level with the child.
There was a flash of strangeness in Nian Nian's eyes, mixed with a hint of distance. After all, when Ma Qijun didn't smile, he did look a bit cold.
Ye Xiaomei looked back at Ma Qijun, her heart warmed: "Niannian, he is your aunt's husband, you should call him uncle."
The fear that had just appeared in Nian Nian's dark eyes gradually disappeared, and she stared at Ma Qijun without blinking:
"Uncle?"
"Be good." Ma Qijun rubbed the boy's head.
"Niannian, come here and call me daddy." Ye Xiaolin had already come to the front, her face was iron-colored and her eyes were full of anger.
Nian Nian's eyes flashed with secret joy for a moment. Other children have fathers, but she doesn't. She looked at Zhang Changjiang happily, but saw that he had his back turned coldly towards her. At that moment, the little guy's eyes were filled with confusion and loss, and he squeezed in between Ye Xiaomei and her husband.
It was as if his father was a tiger in the mountains that would eat him at any time. He hesitated for a long time and did not dare to call him father.
Zhang Changjiang put his hands on his waist and looked away helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense. Who knows if this child is that old man's? You ran away with him for so long, and now you want me to be his father? Are you kidding me?"
Ye Xiaolin's face was grim, and her teeth were clenched tightly, causing her face to become distorted with suppressed anger:
"Are you denying this?"
"Why should I acknowledge it if it's not mine?" Zhang Changjiang turned around and said coldly. He subconsciously found Ye Xiaomei standing there. He scratched his head to hide his inner embarrassment.
Ma Qijun looked at the frightened little thing, rubbed his head and stood up:
"Medical science is quite advanced nowadays. You can find out by going to the city and doing a paternity test."
Ye Xiaolin didn't dare to look at Ma Qijun from beginning to end, and pretended not to know him the whole time, including Ye Xiaomei.
In the past, she might not have even dared to look at it, but her heart was too turbulent and she didn't want to see the loving scene between the couple.
You know, Ma Qijun was the man she tried every means to abandon, and Ye Xiaomei was also the target she tried every means to plot against. Now their lives are getting better and better, but what about her?
In the past, she had no shortage of money thanks to the food that Mr. Xue gave her in the city. But now, she doesn't even have the ability to support her children. What's the point of keeping her dignity?
Yes, she was willing to give it her all. Even if Zhang Changjiang didn't want to be the child's father, she would just give him living expenses.
Zhang Changjiang curled his lips and said, "I have never heard of paternity testing."
He was determined not to take responsibility, but a big part of him also felt very ironic about Ye Xiaolin's life, thinking that she was just a pair of worn-out shoes that had been worn by several people.
Ye Xiaomei touched Nian Nian who was hiding behind her and said, "Zhang Changjiang, Nian Nian is indeed your child. If you don't believe it, as my husband said, you can go to the city to do a paternity test."
Ye Xiaolin was so angry that her teeth were itching. When she heard this, she turned around abruptly. The anger in her eyes eased a little, but she didn't dare to look directly into Ye Xiaomei's eyes.
That day, she even sprinkled ash all over her body. Why could she be so magnanimous? Could it be that she didn't care at all?
Zhang Changjiang narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Ye Xiaomei, even you say that?" As he said this, he pointed at the little kid behind her, then pointed at his own nose, "Do you think he's my child?"
"You'll know if you go get it checked out. It's not expensive, only 20 or 30 yuan."
After Ye Xiaomei finished speaking, she turned around, squatted down, patted the soft little shoulder, and said softly:
"Look, my aunt lives over there. There's a big willow tree at the door. If you want to find my aunt, go find me there."
Nian Nian stared with her big eyes and nodded vigorously.
On the way back.
Ye Xiaomei then turned around and saw Nian Nian staring at her. As a mother, she felt a little sad:
"Nian Nian is Zhang Changjiang's child. Ye Xiaolin gave birth to her in Chaocheng when I went to school."
Ma Qijun put his arm around the woman's neck and held her in his arms: "I thought you didn't like to meddle in other people's business."
Ye Xiaomei held the bony hand on her shoulder and rubbed it against her face. "It's not that I'm meddling in other people's business. I just feel sorry for Nian Nian. He's really not as lucky as our child. Besides, the child is innocent no matter what. What's more, Nian Nian is one and a half years older than our child. Logically, Nian Nian is less than three years old, but he looks very smart."
Ma Qijun sneered: "You are right, Nian Nian is only two years old, but he is very sensitive and likes to observe the expressions of adults."
Such children are sensitive and you can tell at a glance that they have suffered a lot of emotional hurt.
When they got home, Wang Lan and Ma Kaiqu had already eaten half of their meal.
"Oh, I thought you two had dinner at Village Chief Liang's house. Your dad and I ate alone. Wait a minute, mom will go and heat up the mutton soup for you from last night."
Wang Lan wiped her mouth and quickly put the child down.
As soon as they got up, Ma Qijun took the two children over.
One is hooked in the hollow of one arm, which looks particularly funny, because both kids look like Ma Qijun, with thick eyebrows and narrow eyes. One has been away on a mission for a long time and has wheat-colored skin. The faces of the two little ones are as white as tofu, but their facial features are as if they were carved out of the same mold.
In the room.
Ma Qijun rolled the two children up and laid them on the bed, teasing them: "Call daddy quickly..."
Giggles, ga ga ga... the two noisy kids were almost dying of laughter, and saliva was flowing from the corners of their mouths with newly grown little teeth.
The child, who had eaten and drunk his fill, could not stand the noise and fell asleep in the blink of an eye. Ma Qijun was still tickling the little guy with his fingers.
"Qijun, stop making trouble. Don't you see that the two kids are so sleepy that their eyelids are fighting each other?"
Thanks to Ye Xiaomei's reminder, Ma Qijun covered the child with the quilt, and patted the child's buttocks with both hands slowly and methodically, so that the child could sleep more soundly:
"Xiao Mei, I may have to carry out a secret mission."
Ye Xiaomei was slightly startled. Another secret mission?
The incident last time was still fresh in Ye Xiaomei's mind, and it frightened her to death. However, she was not so excited this time:
"Oh, I just can't tell you. Is it in the mainland? Or somewhere else?"
"Not necessarily, but I will definitely send you back to school first."
This is not what Ye Xiaomei is concerned about. In fact, even if he doesn't send her back to school on the 16th day of the first lunar month, it's not like she doesn't have legs.
It was just because of the first-class medal of merit that Ye Xiaomei was afraid that his mission would be too dangerous and something might happen.
Ye Xiaomei said honestly, "Actually, that's secondary. As long as it doesn't interfere with your work, I don't mind. I'm not a child anymore. I'm just worried that your mission is too dangerous."
Ma Qijun stood up and stood behind Ye Xiaomei, putting his hands on her shoulders. He leaned over and rubbed her hair with his chin. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to remember the unique and fascinating smell of the woman:
"This time we are investigating a cross-border transaction. If everything goes well, it will be fine. But if it doesn't go well, it will inevitably lead to another war."
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank, and she put the book in her hand on the table with a clatter. She turned around and looked at the man:
"Will it trigger a war?" Ye Xiaomei felt that war was not just an individual problem, but involved the stability of the entire Chinese people.
