Naturally, we didn't have the reunion dinner in the end.
The two guys were tired of crying, their hands tightly grasped Jiang Ningning's clothes, and their eyelashes were still hung with wet tears.
Jiang Ningning looked at the two pairs of swollen goldfish eyes with heartache, and she began to dislike the man a little.
She raised her chin and instructed, "Boil two eggs and roll them around the children's eyes. The swelling will go away tomorrow."
When it comes to taking care of children, Huo Donglin, an unqualified parent, is a novice and does whatever his wife says.
There were no eggs at home, so he went out for a while without saying a word.
A few minutes later, he came back exhausted, bringing with him six eggs, a handful of red dates, and half a bag of brown sugar.
The honeycomb coal was not extinguished, so I added some firewood to relight it. The eggs were cooked in a short while. I put them in cold water and chilled them for two minutes. I tapped them gently and the eggshells were easily peeled off.
Huo Donglin was holding three eggs. With his tall stature and long legs, he stood beside the bed, blocking most of the light.
The room suddenly became cramped.
Jiang Ningning glanced at him in dissatisfaction, "We're not training new recruits, why do you have such a strong aura?"
"Feel sorry."
The tall and handsome man immediately showed a look of grievance, but when he apologized, he was straightforward and tactful.
"Come and hold the child and roll the eggs. You take a rest."
Jiang Ningning's arms did feel sore, so she nodded and asked him to take the child.
She was not the kind of mother who liked to monopolize her children. She would let her father take on parental responsibilities when it was time.
Only when you put in the effort will you cherish it.
The higher the sunk cost, the more cautious a man will be in doing things. Next time when you are on a mission, think more about your family and don't be easily dazzled by the temptations outside.
Manman was easy to coax. Jiang Ningning whispered "baby" in his ear, and the guy smiled and let go of his hand to let Huo Donglin hold him.
This time it was the daughter's turn to be difficult to coax.
Xia Xia's inner emotions are not as rich as Man Man's, which makes her more stubborn.
No matter how Jiang Ningning coaxed her, she just wouldn't let go. In the end, she had no choice but to continue holding her daughter.
The egg rolled around and around, gently rolling on the delicate eyelids of the dumpling.
The dim light sprinkled on Jiang Ningning's body, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes were covered with a layer of soft gauze.
Gentle and quiet, dazzling and dazzling.
It was as if a feather had scratched Huo Donglin's heart, causing a tingling sensation.
At this moment, he could no longer suppress his emotions and said word by word:
"In fact, I called several times and wrote letters, but every time I said you didn't want to answer. You never wrote back, so I always thought you were mad.
It was not until you came to join the army that I learned from everyone that you were kicked out of the family compound a few days after giving birth.
I'm sorry, it was 놖 who didn't take good care of you three, which made you lose trust in me, so you didn't ask 놖 for help. ”
Huo Donglin's dark eyes stared at her closely, revealing undisguised guilt, self-blame and... grievance.
He is obviously not the kind of foolish filial man who abandons his wife and children, so why doesn't his wife ever try to believe him?
Jiang Ningning pursed her red lips.
Letters are occasionally sent along with the allowance, and the original owner has the base address.
The reason why he was unwilling to seek help was because he was sensitive and suspicious after his parents left, and his personality was too twisted. He felt that Tian Cuifen dared to chase him away, and it must be Huo Donglin's instruction.
In order to prove herself, the original owner believed that she could support her two children without relying on a man.
Finally, I did it——
Because she relies on her two talented twins to support herself.
But Jiang Ningning had a question in her mind for a long time, "Why didn't you have a chance to come back in five years?"
Huo Donglin's eyes were dim, and his wife really had some resentment towards him.
However, the resentment shows that there is affection, and the children will not be replaced with a new father easily, so he still has a chance!
"The day after the wedding, she was urgently recalled and sent directly to the most dangerous frontier to carry out a secret mission. That mission lasted for two and a half years, and she was hospitalized for more than half a year."
To prove his words, he lifted up his clothes and pointed to the bullet mark on his left chest. "This is the most serious wound. It almost grazed my heart."
"Later, he was selected into the special forces team, and he and his comrades were thrown directly into the mountains for training."
"A year later, I achieved the best results in the team and was given a heavier task. The scar on my shoulder was caused by a drug dealer, and this scar on my waist was caused when I was chasing a few spies. And..."
His tone was light, but it caused a wave of shock in Jiang Ningning's ears.
Every scar on Huo Donglin's body corresponds to a medal of honor.
In this era of backward weapons and equipment and underdeveloped satellites, there are many soldiers like him who use their lives to defend the country and protect the safety of the people.
She couldn't help but stand in awe and asked the stupidest question: "Does it hurt?"
It was just such a stupid question, but Huo Donglin's eyes turned red.
pain!
How can it not hurt?
It’s just that no one has ever asked him this question in the past five years, and Huo Donglin thought he never cared about love.
But at this moment, looking into those autumn eyes full of heartache and worry, my heart is bubbling in the bitter water, squeezing out bits of sweetness.
He suppressed his surging emotions and tried to smile, "It doesn't hurt now."
"We are arresting human traffickers because the special forces team just returned from a mission in the northwest and cooperated with the public security operation. If you didn't come, we would also like to apply to the organization to go home to visit relatives after returning to the base."
Huo Donglin assured: "Don't worry, no one will be able to bully you and the children again."
He handled the Huo family's affairs cleanly and mercilessly, so Jiang Ningning sincerely believed that his promise was true.
After talking through all the conflicts, both husband and wife felt that a huge burden on their hearts had been lifted.
The egg was almost rolled out, and perhaps because the swelling in her eyes had eased a lot, Jiang Ningning put Xia Xia on the bed and the guy no longer resisted.
The two little dumplings were side by side, sleeping soundly.
"Drink this." Huo Donglin brought over a bowl of steaming brown sugar and egg water with two red dates floating at the bottom of the bowl.
This is what I stewed while boiling the eggs.
"I'll try to get some fermented glutinous rice back tomorrow. It's good for women and can replenish qi and blood."
Jiang Ningning raised an eyebrow in surprise.
The lines on the man's profile were cold and hard, with the corners of his lips slightly curled, but I didn't expect him to be so considerate.
Seeing that she misunderstood, Huo Donglin hurriedly added an explanation: "When Zhang Dali's wife was giving birth, she kept talking in your ear. You have low blood sugar, you need to replenish more blood."
Speaking of this, Jiang Ningning remembered something extremely important and raised her hand to pull his arm. "You fell down just now not because of hypoglycemia, but because something hit your back. Do you believe it?"
