Chapter 27 An An and Ning Ning Recognize Their Father?
dad? "
An'an's short legs can hardly keep up with Qiao Xingyue's pace.
"Mom, didn't Dad sacrifice himself heroically and become a great hero?"
From a young age, An'an and Ningning's mother told them that their father had become a great hero, bringing glory to the country, and had sacrificed his life. An'an and Ningning have always been proud of their hero father.
At this moment, Qiao Xingyue didn't know how to explain it to her daughter.
She was also deceived by Zeng Xiuzhu.
When she transmigrated, Zeng Xiuzhu told her that her husband had heroically sacrificed his life while on a mission.
The organization provided some compensation, but her husband's family refused to give it, so Fatty didn't see a single penny.
However, Zeng Xiuzhu just said that the allowance for Fatty's husband increased from 48 yuan to over 100 yuan. During this period, he must have been sending money back to Fatty, otherwise Zeng Xiuzhu would not have known about this.
If Fatty's husband's allowance really increased to over a hundred, he would definitely not just be a platoon leader now, but at least a deputy regimental commander or a full regimental commander.
The money that Fatty's man sent must have been pocketed by Zeng Xiuzhu.
She'll settle the score with Zeng Xiuzhu about this money after she meets An'an and Ningning's father and recognizes him.
Then Zeng Xiuzhu will have to vomit it all out.
Qiao Xingyue was afraid that if she lost them, she would never see what An'an and Ningning's father looked like.
She led An An and Ning Ning by the hand, walking rather quickly.
She moved with incredible speed, taking long strides as if the wind was blowing around her, completely forgetting that An'an and Ningning's short legs couldn't keep up with her at all.
"Mommy, isn't Daddy dead? Where is he?"
An'an is having trouble keeping up.
The little one was struggling to keep up with her short legs. "Mom, slow down."
Ningning couldn't keep up with her mother's pace at all.
Qiao Xingyue was pulling Ningning along too fast, and Ningning was a little out of breath. Her already pale face suddenly turned even paler. "Mommy, can you... walk... slower..."
Hearing that Ningning's voice sounded off, Qiao Xingyue looked down.
Ningning's complexion was also off; her little face had lost its color, and her lips were turning purple—signs of an impending asthma attack.
Everything was fine before I left home.
She quickly stopped, placed the canvas bag on the ground, and made Ningning sit down. "Ningning, take a deep breath. An'an, get your sister's medicine for Mom."
An'an quickly rummaged through the army green canvas bag slung across her body, found her sister's special medicine, and handed it to her mother.
Qiao Xingyue quickly made Ningning take a few pills, "Ningning, swallow them slowly, don't choke."
It took at least twenty minutes for Ningning's expression to soften, and Qiao Xingyue finally felt relieved.
Looking up again, Zeng Xiuzhu, Liu Dazhu, and the security guard were nowhere to be seen.
They've long since disappeared.
The guard just said, "Are you going to take Zeng Xiuzhu and Liu Dazhu to the guard's duty room to wait for Fatty's man?"
If she chases after him to the guardhouse now, she might be able to see An An Ning Ning's father.
"An'an, you stay here and take care of your little sister. Wait for me here, Mom will be back soon," she instructed An'an.
If she brought An An and Ning Ning with her, she was afraid that by the time she arrived at the guard's duty room, Zeng Xiuzhu and An An and Ning Ning's father would have already left.
She won't know where to look for anyone then.
An'an pouted, "Mommy, but I also want to see Daddy. We've never seen what Daddy looks like."
"Mommy has never seen what Daddy looks like either. That mean old woman was going to see Daddy. If Mommy catches up with her, she can see him. After Mommy sees him, I'll take you to see him, okay? Otherwise, Mommy's afraid we won't be able to catch up with them later. Be good!"
An'an could only obediently nod, "Don't worry, Mom, we'll wait for you here."
The military family compound is a gated community, and its management is militarized.
The children usually run around and play by themselves in the courtyard.
No bad people will come in.
Qiao Xingyue then asked An'an and Ningning to wait for her there.
She patted An'an's head and instructed, "Take good care of your little sister, Mom will be back soon."
...
Guard duty room.
After settling Zeng Xiuzhu and Liu Dazhu in, the gatekeeper, Xiao Zhang, politely said, "Auntie, brother, please wait here. Commander Xie will be here soon. I have urgent business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
"Okay." Liu Dazhu didn't even say thank you. He sat down on the stool in the duty room and began to look him over from left to right.
Seeing a nice fountain pen on the table, he casually put it in his pocket.
Looking around, no one noticed.
Just as he was about to take the flashlight with him, someone came to the door of the duty room.
Upon closer inspection, it was Xie Zhongming, dressed in military uniform, tall and imposing, exuding an aura of authority.
He walked in as if he had the wind on his feet.
Majestic and imposing.
Liu Dazhu quickly pulled his hand back, put it in his pocket, and secretly held the stolen pen, as if afraid of being discovered.
Xie Zhongming took a look and saw that it was indeed Fatty's mother and his lazy, good-for-nothing brother-in-law.
He approached with a tense expression and an icy look on his face. "Mom, Dazhu, is there something you need in Jincheng?"
"Xie Zhongming, my mother-in-law came all the way from afar carrying a basket of local specialties to see you, and this is how you treat me? Hurry up and take me inside for a drink of water."
Zeng Xiuzhu felt that since Xie Zhongming had become her son-in-law, he was like a son to her, and he had to be filial to her and obey her in everything.
Once they were led inside, they saw that she had swindled a large sum of money from Xie Zhongming.
Xie Zhongming remained silent.
Just then, a basket of sweet potatoes appeared in front of him. Liu Dazhu had brought it to him. "Brother-in-law, this is a local specialty we brought for you specially."
“Carry him.” Xie Zhongming’s cold expression softened a bit, thinking about how far they had come. “Come with me.”
Before he came, he had already borrowed a Jeep.
Normally, he could only use the car for official business, but he made an exception today because he didn't want Zeng Xiuzhu and Liu Dazhu to cause trouble in the compound.
Once in the car, Zeng Xiuzhu asked, "Zhongming, where are you taking us? Aren't we going to your house?"
"You'll see when you get there."
Xie Zhongming knew exactly what kind of person Zeng Xiuzhu was.
There are many people in the compound, mostly military families. If Zeng Xiuzhu causes trouble, it will have a bad impact if word gets out.
A military green jeep had just left when Qiao Xingyue arrived at the guard duty room.
She went inside, but didn't see a single person.
Did we miss it?
Has Zeng Xiuzhu and An An Ningning's father passed away?
Just then, a guard walked over, and she hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Comrade, did you just see a dark-skinned, thin country woman and a strong young man waiting for someone here?"
The guard waved his hand.
Someone had just come by, but he had no idea. "No, I just came back from relieving myself, and I didn't see anyone."
Qiao Xingyue's enthusiasm was instantly dampened.
She hurried after them, but still couldn't see who An An and Ning Ning's father was.
She was still panting when she asked, "Comrade, did you really not see it?"
The other person shook their head.
Qiao Xingyue walked out of the guardhouse, thinking that maybe they were nearby. She looked left and right into the alley, but still didn't see anyone.
What should we do?
They finally found out that An An and Ning Ning's father was not dead, and that he and she were in the same military region.
Now, however, no one knows who he is.
How is she supposed to find An An Ning Ning's father?
No, she had to think of a way to make sure An'an and Ningning met their father.
The man who was ridden by Fatty, who was still willing to marry Fatty even after being schemed against and harmed, must be a responsible person.
When she brings An'an and Ningning to him, he will definitely take responsibility, acknowledge An'an and Ningning, and give them a warm home.
In this day and age, it's still quite challenging for her to raise two children alone.
Moreover, An An and Ning Ning do indeed lack fatherly love.
If I could find a peaceful and calm father, that would be the best thing.
...
A military green jeep carrying Zeng Xiuzhu and Liu Dazhu drove out of the family compound gate.
Seeing that they were going the wrong way, Zeng Xiuzhu clung to the car seat and hurriedly asked, "Zhongming, why are we going out? Aren't we going to your house? I've never seen what your parents look like before. You have to take me to meet my in-laws, right?"
Hmph! When I meet Xie's parents later, I'll demand a dowry first.
Her daughter, Pangya, married Xie Zhongming. Although this man sent living expenses to Chadian Village every month, he never gave a single penny of dowry.
After receiving the bride price, they will borrow a large sum of money.
If the Xie family dares not pay, she has plenty of ways to make them obediently hand over the money.
Xie Zhongming, in the driver's seat, held the steering wheel with a posture as upright as a ruler.
The sunlight slanted down onto the military green jeep.
The badge on Xie Zhongming's shoulder gleamed in the sun.
As the weather got warmer, he wore a neatly pressed military green short-sleeved shirt, with the collar buttoned up tightly.
The arm gripping the steering wheel was wheat-colored, with strong, lean muscles bulging on it.
Zeng Xiuzhu wanted to say something more, but her heart pounded like a drum, and she dared not utter a word.
Could it be that he knew she was coming to borrow money, which is why he didn't take her inside?
"Zhongming?" Zeng Xiuzhu asked, "Where are you taking my daughter and me?"
Xie Zhongming still gripped the steering wheel, and slightly raised his thin lips, "Have you heard anything about Fatty?"
"..." After being kicked out, Fatty never returned to Chadian Village. Zeng Xiuzhu had no news of Fatty. Fatty might have died outside without Zeng Xiuzhu even knowing.
Zeng Xiuzhu retorted, "You still have the nerve to ask me? Didn't you say you were going to find Fatty, whether she was alive or dead, to find her whereabouts? You're asking me? How would I know?"
The car drove on the gravel road, the dust it kicked up carrying the scent of the cornfields along the roadside.
Passing through this self-sufficient cornfield, you'll reach the main urban area of Jincheng.
The dust that rose up made Zeng Xiuzhu and Liu Dazhu choke a couple of times.
Xie Zhongming, on the other hand, remained upright, gripping the steering wheel and staring at the road ahead with a gaze as unwavering as steel. "You seem to have forgotten that Fatty disappeared because you kicked her out of the house."
"..." Zeng Xiuzhu felt somewhat guilty about this.
But she quickly reverted to her shrewish nature, saying, "Can't I discipline my own daughter? Who knew that after that brat ran away, she never came back? You can't blame me for that."
The car arrived at the police station entrance quickly.
Zeng Xiuzhu was illiterate, but Liu Dazhu could read a few words. He nudged Zeng Xiuzhu's dark and thin arm from behind and asked, "Mom, why did Fatty's man bring us to the police station?"
