Even though she was found crying, Li Xia did not deny it. She nodded and told Gu Weicheng what Tiantian had just said to her.
Gu Weicheng, a grown man, felt particularly uncomfortable after hearing this. He sighed and said, "No wonder she kept asking me these questions today. She was particularly happy to hear me say that our motherland is becoming stronger and stronger, and its weapons are becoming more and more advanced."
Gu Weicheng hugged his wife into his arms, patted her shoulder gently to comfort her, and said, "Wife, don't be sad. Although the conditions in Wangjia Village are definitely not as good as those in the army, she has her reasons and we can only support her. When we have the chance in the future, we will take time to visit her in Wangjia Village."
"Yeah, I thought so too." Li Xia nodded, "It's just that Political Commissar Shen and Sister Cao, I have to go explain it tomorrow."
"It's okay, they are all reasonable people and won't say anything." Gu Weicheng said.
The next day, Li Xia went to Political Commissar Shen's house early.
Political Commissar Shen took a special leave today to meet Tiantian, and is now packing things with Mrs. Cao.
"Old Shen, check if you have taken everything. Shoes! Did you take the new shoes you bought for Tiantian?" Mrs. Cao asked Political Commissar Shen, whose hands were full of things, while she was packing herself.
Political Commissar Shen lowered his head and searched in his hands. He finally found the new shoes and said, "Here, here. Tell me, we are going to pick up the child, not to go on a blind date. Why are you dressed like this? I didn't see you dressed like this when I went on a blind date with you!"
Mrs. Cao glared at him and said, "You have to dress well when you go to pick up your daughter. What if you look sloppy and your daughter doesn't like it?"
After saying this, Mrs. Cao hurried out the door.
As a result, as soon as they left the yard, the couple ran into Li Xia who came to visit them specially.
"Xiao Li, why are you here?" asked Mrs. Cao.
Seeing them carrying a lot of bags, Li Xia guessed that they were going to her house to see Tiantian, and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, Political Commissar, I'm here to tell you something."
Li Xia told Political Commissar Shen and Mrs. Cao that Tiantian still planned to return to Wangjia Village and did not want to stay in the army, and also explained to them what Tiantian was thinking.
"Political Commissar, sister-in-law, Tiantian is a good child. It's just that this matter has caused all your efforts to be in vain. I apologize to you on her behalf." Li Xia said.
No matter what, an apology must be made, and Mrs. Cao has been busy trying to pick up Tiantian.
After hearing this, Political Commissar Shen said with emotion: "Xiao Li, look at what you said. There is nothing to apologize for. This child is really a good child. She is so sensible at such a young age. Although it is a pity that we cannot adopt her, her friendship is worthy of admiration."
Mrs. Cao burst into tears after hearing this. She wiped her tears and said, "What a good child..."
Although it was a pity that she couldn't adopt Tiantian, Mrs. Cao still planned to go with Li Xia to see Tiantian.
"I bought all these things for her. Even if she can't be my daughter, I still have to give them to her. Otherwise, wouldn't I have bought them for nothing?"
Tiantian only stayed here for two nights, and on the third day she said she wanted to go back to Wangjia Village.
Li Xia wanted her to stay here for two more days, but she shook her head and said no, it was a good place, but tomorrow was market day and she had to go back to sell things for everyone.
When she left, everyone came to see her off, including people she knew and people she didn't. Everyone brought gifts for her.
"Sister Tiantian, you must remember to come and see us again."
"Why are you leaving so soon? I wanted you to teach me how to shoot accurately."
"Tiantian, I will come to see you when I have time." Li Xia looked at the little girl in front of her with a determined gaze. Although she grew up in a bad environment, she was tenacious and grew up wildly.
She felt that Tiantian was similar to Zhaodi, a character she created. They both had pitiful backgrounds, but at the same time had tenacious vitality, like flowers blooming in the cracks of rocks.
Come on, bloom, sweetie.
Everyone's eyes were so kind and friendly that Tiantian couldn't help but burst into tears.
The army sent a car to take Tiantian back to Wangjia Village. When the military vehicle stopped at the entrance of the village, Tiantian quickly jumped off the vehicle in front of the villagers' surprised eyes and ran forward, shouting, "Aunt Qiaofang, Aunt Cao'er, Aunt Aizhu, Aunt Yingzi... I'm back!"
The villagers sitting at the entrance of the village were all very surprised to see Tiantian coming back. They all talked about it in a flurry: "Isn't this Tiantian? Wasn't she taken to the army and told to live a good life there? Why is she back again?"
At Wang Qiaofang's home, everyone gathered together to weave bamboo baskets with bamboo strips, but this time they were not as enthusiastic as before.
In the past, they thought that the next day would be the market day, so they would gather together and try to weave as many as possible so that they could sell them at the market tomorrow. But now Tiantian is gone...
When Tiantian refused to leave, they all tried to persuade her to leave, but when Tiantian really left, they felt as if they had lost their souls.
When Tiantian was around, there was a child hanging around her. After Tiantian left, these group of lonely old people were left alone.
Just then, Cao'er heard a sweet voice. She stood up suddenly and gestured to everyone: I seem to hear a sweet voice.
Wang Qiaofang shook her head at her: "Tiantian has already followed Comrade Li to the army, Cao'er, you must have heard it wrong."
The next moment, Tiantian shouted again: "I'm back!"
This time everyone heard Tiantian's voice clearly. Everyone put down their work and ran out of the house. As expected, they saw Tiantian standing in the yard, smiling at them, "Aunt, I'm back!"
“Sweet!”
Everyone hugged Tiantian tightly, but couldn't help asking, "Why did you come back? Could it be..."
Could it be that even the people in the army dislike Tiantian because she was raised by them, so they are unwilling to adopt Tiantian?
When they thought of this possibility, despair surged in their hearts. If even the army and even the motherland despised them, then what was the point of them living?
Tiantian shook her head and explained, "Everyone is very good. Aunt Li also said that there are very good uncles and aunts who adopted me as their daughter, but I missed you, so I came back.
When I was there, I would worry about what would happen if Aunt Caoer had backache and I didn't have her to massage her back. What would happen if Aunt Qiaofang lost her reading glasses? Who would sell the bamboo baskets woven by Aunt Aizhu and the chickens everyone raised at the market? The army is really good, but I think it's better to be with you guys. "
"I know you will be angry when I come back, thinking that the army is so good, why should I come back, but I just want to spend more time with you..."
Looking at Tiantian like this, how could they bear to say a word to her?
The only thing I could do was hold her.
