The next day.
After seeing Hu Ying'an off for the last time, Lin Nanfeng helped his mother walk home.
Lin Zhengran's face turned pale and his eyes were unfocused. Although he could still walk, he was not in much better condition.
Before the cremation yesterday, she went to see Aying, and just one glance made her almost faint.
She couldn't imagine how much suffering and pain this child had endured during his lifetime.
She put herself in Nanfeng's shoes. This feeling made her feel worse than death. She didn't want her daughter to go through this. She wanted to see her daughter live a long life.
But can Nanfeng make her wish come true?
With a splitting headache, Lin Zhengran didn't dare to think any further.
Lin Nanfeng held his military cap in his left hand and supported his mother with his right hand, not knowing how to comfort her.
My mother is no longer the same Mengniang she used to be. How could she be coaxed into submission with just a few words like she used to?
"I can walk by myself." Perhaps because he was too tired, his voice sounded unfamiliar.
After Lin Zhengran finished speaking, he pushed his daughter's hand away. Lin Nanfeng was a little at a loss and stood there in a daze.
Qin Shouguo, who followed behind, took her place.
Xiang Guifan also followed them. He gestured and asked Lin Nanfeng:
"Are you okay?"
Lin Nanfeng shook his head and sighed.
She looked up at the sky and said gloomily, "It's the calm before the storm. Some things have to be faced sooner or later. Even if it weren't for Ah Ying's incident, my mother would have come to talk to me."
"Are you still going to serve in the army? Even if one day even your body can't be brought back, do you still want to serve in the army?" Xiang Guifan asked in lip language.
"What do you think?" Lin Nanfeng asked him back.
Xiang Guifan did not answer her, but asked again: "Yuetu, are you afraid?"
"Afraid? Who wouldn't be afraid of death?" Lin Nanfeng looked at his face and said, "Are you afraid? You almost couldn't come back last time!"
He said, “I’m afraid too.”
But I'm so happy to see you again.
Xiang Guifan lowered his head when he said the last sentence, and Lin Nanfeng did not see his lip movements.
When he looked up again, Xiang Guifan said seriously: "I am afraid of death, but I prefer this outfit and the mission I carry on my shoulders."
The military uniform made him look heroic and majestic. Xiang Guifan grew into a man, a man of integrity.
"The rank will be awarded tomorrow. Lieutenant Xiang, go back and get some rest tonight. Don't be late."
After saying that, Lin Nanfeng caught up with the person in front and waved at him.
This time I came back not only to see Aying off, but also to award her a title.
The day for them to be awarded titles is scheduled for tomorrow, not only her, but also many others.
Will tomorrow go well?
Lin Nanfeng doesn’t know either!
It was very quiet when they got home. Now there were only three of them left in the house.
Qin Shouguo helped his wife into the room and waved his hand to drive Lin Nanfeng away.
They had been very busy these past two days and no one had said much to each other. Now was not the time to talk, so Lin Nanfeng tactfully walked away.
She was about to go upstairs, but somehow, after hearing the door closing downstairs, she suddenly sat down on the stairs.
The room was well soundproofed, but it was very quiet at the moment. The couple downstairs didn't expect their daughter to eavesdrop, so they didn't suppress the noise.
Qin Shouguo stood by the bed and said, "What are you doing? She finally came back. You used to talk about her every day, so why are you giving her a hard time now?"
You don't know why?
Lin Zhengran covered his head with the quilt and said in a tired and disgusted voice, "I'm trying to make her give up. Don't worry about it."
Qin Shouguo was about to speak when Lin Zhengran lifted the quilt and warned him: "When I said don't mind, I meant don't meddle in her affairs. If I find out that you're helping her, we'll get divorced."
divorce?
This is the first time in all these years that A'ran has mentioned the word divorce so seriously.
Qin Shouguo was in a dilemma. He sat down beside the bed, thinking for a while, and covered the person on the bed with a quilt before saying:
"Don't you understand Nanfeng's character? She'll definitely listen to you, but are you happy if you let her live her life in a muddle?"
Qin Shouguo said: "Everyone lives the life they want and is happy. If you ask her to stay with you, are you willing?"
"Then what do you want me to do?" Lin Zhengran sat up and shouted at Qin Shouguo for the first time: "You want me to watch her die and be cut into pieces by others? I'm her mother, and I feel so sad..."
Lin Zhengran took Qin Shouguo's hand and placed it on her heart, crying and saying:
"Seeing Ah Ying like that, I thought that one day the person lying here might be her. I felt so heartbroken, you know!
I felt like I was walking through hell, and I was in pain all over my body."
"I know, I know!"
Qin Shouguo hugged her and coaxed her, "I am definitely of the same mind as you. What do you say? Let's do it this way. There are thousands of roads, not just this one. Let's take another one. Maybe Nanfeng will like it too."
Lin Zhengran didn't respond, tears falling heavily, as if he wanted to vent all the fear and terror in his heart.
Lin Nanfeng outside turned around and went upstairs when he heard this.
She expected Qin Shouguo to stand on his mother's side, so she didn't take it to heart.
I haven't been home for eight years, and the house is just a little old.
Her room had not changed, it was still the same as before, even the desk was still there.
Lin Nanfeng was so tired that he fell asleep on the bed shortly after entering the room.
In her dream, she saw Hu Ying'an when she grew up. She smiled at her and said:
"Nanfeng, I'm back."
In the dream, they drank without worrying about the adults, and they drank freely and happily.
In the dream, Aying said: Nanfeng, I forgive them, because my heart is now filled with so many things, and there is no longer a big space left for them, only a little bit left.
