The evening party was very successful. Liu Shiqi's song "On the Golden Mountain in Beijing" brought the party to a climax. The whole audience sang along, and the singing voice traveled through the clouds and reached the distant Mount Namjagbarwa.
After the party, Mother Xu went home with Xie Wan and his wife.
Xie Yuanchao usually lives in the guest room at home. Xie Wan changed the bedding for the room, which made Mother Xu very satisfied.
"Xiao Wan, you've grown up now. Look at how neatly you've tidied up your home. Once the baby is born, your home will be bustling."
Xie Wan thought, their family seemed to be always lively even when they didn’t have children, so now there’s a big child named Xie Yuanchao, isn’t it?
Mother Xu is old and tired from the journey, so she looked exhausted after just a few words.
Xie Wan hurriedly advised her to rest early.
Mother Xu insisted on taking things out of the luggage first.
"Your father knew I was coming to southern Tibet, so he asked me to bring these to you."
Looking at the chili powder, Sichuan pepper powder, bacon and sausage on the table, Xie Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In fact, she had only returned to Sichuan Province once at the end of June. Before leaving, at Xie Dahong's insistence, she took away all the bacon and sausage stocks in her home.
It's not the right time to do these things in the middle of summer, and I don't know where Xie Dahong got these bacon and sausages.
I guess he shamelessly went to the homes of his old comrades to look for and collect the stored food.
Xie Wan actually guessed it right.
After learning that his daughter was pregnant, Xie Dahong became very excited. After hanging up the phone that day, he rushed to Political Commissar Xu's house to announce the good news. Then he visited Commander Zhai's house and Commander Wang's house, and proudly told them that he was going to be a "grandfather".
Seeing a few sausages hanging in the yard of Commander Zhai's house, he shamelessly cried to him, saying that his daughter was suffering in southern Tibet, not having enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, and what he would do if his eldest grandson was malnourished in her belly.
What could Commander Zhai do? He could only give him all the sausages hanging at home.
The bacon is made in almost the same way, from Captain Wang’s home.
Of course, the families had a good relationship and they all liked Xie Wan, so when they heard that the food was brought to Xie Wan to nourish his body, they were happy about it.
Xie Dahong wanted to give money and tickets, but people still called him a tacky person.
Mother Xu took out another envelope and handed it to Xie Wan.
"This is the money and national bills that Teacher Xie asked you to bring. You can eat whatever you want. Don't mistreat his eldest grandson."
Xie Wan actually wasn’t short of money, but this was Xie Dahong’s gift from his heart, and Xie Wan felt warm in his heart holding it in his hand.
How come the old man has become so sentimental now? Xie Wan suddenly felt a little homesick.
Mother Xu took out two more cans of malted milk and said, "This is what my son Xu Bing asked you to bring. This kid has been promoted to captain this year, but he never comes home."
Xie Wan asked Xu's mother: "Aunt Xu, don't just focus on finding a date for my brother. Haven't you found someone for your Xu Bing?"
When Xu's mother heard this, she got angry. She complained, "Why didn't you introduce him to someone? The first two times I was able to call him back for a blind date, but he didn't like me. I thought it might be because we weren't destined to be together, so I didn't force him.
Guess what happened? When I asked him to go home on weekends, he made all kinds of excuses and was wary of me like a thief. He always came back in the middle of the night, had breakfast in the morning, and was gone. How could I introduce him to me?
Xiao Wan, you two have a good relationship, why don't you try to match him up with someone suitable if you see one?"
Xie Wan raised her eyebrows. She was not very good at being a matchmaker. Before, she wanted to introduce her classmates from the Military Medical University to Xu Bing, but after Xu Bing saw through her intention, he ignored her for half a year!
Later, when they went out on missions several times, Xie Wan originally thought that Chu Jiangnan would send Xu Bing to partner with her. However, Chu Jiangnan said that Xu Bing had made rapid progress and was able to complete the missions independently. He was either sent to Dugang City or to a neighboring country.
People from other factions offered to partner with Xie Wan, but Xie Wan basically refused because she was afraid of exposing her secrets. In the past two years, she basically acted alone to deal with Shintoism.
"Maybe Xu Bing hasn't figured it out yet?" Xie Wan had no choice but to comfort Xu's mother in this way.
Mother Xu was worried and sighed, "You two are the same age, you already have a child, but he still hasn't figured it out?
Sometimes I want to take a chisel and poke his stupid head open!"
However, Xie Wan felt that Xu Bing was indeed young, and if it weren't for the fact that Qin Muye was very much her cup of tea and she wanted to take the position first, Xie Wan wouldn't want to get married so early.
After finally calming down Mother Xu and letting the old lady sleep, Xie Wan returned to the house with a bunch of things. Qin Muye smiled and said, "The baby in your belly hasn't been born yet. Looking at the way everyone is spoiling it, I'm afraid it will be spoiled into a little devil after it is born."
When Xie Wan heard this, he really felt that there was such a risk, and hurriedly said, "No matter how busy we are, we must take care of the child ourselves, and never leave it to my dad.
He always feels that he owes us three siblings, and he will definitely make it up to the next generation.”
Qin Muye nodded, "I can't bring him to my parents either.
My mother has called me every day these days to ask about your situation, and she also insisted on coming over to take care of you and assist you during your confinement period.
I told her that the baby will be born after the Spring Festival, so we’ll talk about it after the Spring Festival.
My dad had just been transferred back to Beijing, and the old couple was in the process of repairing their relationship, but my mom actually said that my dad was not as important as his grandson.
I guess my dad was right next to him when he said this.
My eldest sister said that my father wanted to drag my mother to remarry the next day, but my mother did not agree because she was afraid of affecting him. "
Qin's father and mother had a very good relationship. They divorced in order to protect their family. But now, although Qin's father has returned to the capital and joined the First Department of the General Staff, the movement has not yet completely ended. It is indeed not the right time for the old couple to remarry.
On this point, Xie Wan still admires her mother-in-law very much.
The eldest daughter of a capitalist, gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, in order to protect her family, she would rather endure the humiliation of being a divorced woman for ten years.
The next day was the weekend, and Xie Wan accompanied Mother Xu to see the scenery of the plateau early in the morning.
"Xiao Wan, you don't have to accompany me on this trip. We are going to perform at various outposts this time, and we can see all kinds of scenery along the way."
Mother Xu was worried that Xie Wan's pregnancy might be unstable, so she didn't allow her to exercise much.
Xie Wan herself didn't think it mattered. She was a cultivator, and just walking around and looking around was nothing to her.
When I got home, I saw Xie Yuanchao blocking the door, not letting Liu Shiqi in.
"Comrade Liu, I have already made it clear to you before that there is no possibility between us. Do you think it is fun to chase her all the way to southern Tibet?"
When Xie Yuanchao's voice reached her ears, Xie Wan was stunned. She never knew that her elder brother had such a ruthless side?
Liu Shiqi's voice was a little flustered, "No, I'm not..."
Before Liu Shiqi could finish her words, Xie Yuanchao slammed the door shut.
