Cai Jinhua obviously didn't believe this nonsense: "What are you pretending for? Pretending to be a coward, letting Tian Cuifen bully you so much that you have to ask Manman Xiaxia to pick up trash to support the family? Should I praise you for being awesome?"
Every word she said hit home, the old lady is really good at scolding people.
If it were an ordinary, tender-skinned girl, she would have blushed with shame. However, Jiang Ningning was protected by the tea aroma and was not disturbed at all. She continued to act based on that emotion.
Her long curly black eyelashes trembled slightly, and she bit her lips lightly, with an expression of perseverance that read "sleeping on straw and tasting gall for ten years, no one understood", enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens.
"I don't know what my father left behind, and Director Zhou and others have been secretly tracking it down. In those years, no matter where I went, there was always someone following me like a shadow. I had no choice but to pretend to be a weak and useless person."
Cai Jinhua was a little shaken, but she was thinking in her heart: Why don’t you run away?
As if guessing her thoughts, Jiang Ningning narrowed her eyes, as if she was lost in memories: "I applied to go to the countryside, but the factory rejected it because they wanted to take care of the orphans of martyrs. They even completed the entry process for me. After entering the factory, I pretended to know nothing and continued to test them. Guess what?"
Cai Jinhua was stunned and shook her head.
Jiang Ningning smiled bitterly at the right moment: "Instead of firing me, the factory kept me. I knew at that time that they wanted to keep me in the textile factory forever."
"I married Huo Donglin with the intention of following the army, but unfortunately he was gone for five years and I couldn't get in touch with him at all."
"It was not until Zhou Jianxin left that the situation improved slightly. I hurriedly brought my two children to the military region."
In order to increase her credibility, Jiang Ningning told the story about how someone had been secretly targeting her since she joined the military region.
Also, there were thieves who visited Lao Jiang's house twice.
"…It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. Time will tell."
Jiang Ningning clenched her fists, her watery almond eyes filled with determination: "One day I will find the murderer who killed my parents and bring him to justice."
For a long while, there was no movement around.
That's not right!
Jiang Ningning silently reviewed the story, and there was absolutely no problem with the logic.
Just as she was wondering, ying! A cry came late.
Cai Jinhua was so shocked that she lost her voice, and she was so sad that she couldn't breathe. She covered her face and wiped away two tears.
Thinking about how uncomfortable she felt when she kept the secret alone, Cai Jinhua suddenly felt that she could completely understand how difficult it was for her granddaughter.
She raised her head again and looked at her granddaughter with a gentle and distressed look in her eyes. "Child, you have suffered so much over the years, why didn't you tell me..."
Jiang Ningning's bright little face showed a worried expression. She took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "It's sad enough for you to send off a young person. There's no need to worry about it."
Hearing these words, Cai Jinhua was so moved that she couldn't hold back her tears any longer and burst into tears.
Damn it!
I deserve to die!
Ningning is such a silly and sensible child!
-
It was almost midnight when Huo Donglin returned home in the dark.
He was tall and had long legs. Standing in the yard, he could see a dim light coming out of the living room window.
Leng Li's expression softened and he quickened his pace and pushed the door open.
In the living room, Jiang Ningning twitched her chin, closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep, her head moving up and down.
Under the kerosene lamp, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
At this moment, Huo Donglin finally understood what it meant to be a land of gentleness and a grave of heroes. His chest was filled with tenderness. He took two steps forward and intended to carry her to the bed.
Jiang Ningning woke up as soon as she was picked up.
Her almond-shaped eyes are watery, even a little hazy, charming and alluring.
"You're back? Have you eaten? I'll go to the kitchen and get it for you."
Huo Donglin's throat rolled slightly when she looked at him. He could not help but feel an impulse surge up from his body. He replied in a hoarse voice, "I'm hungry."
Then he asked, "Are the children and grandma asleep?"
Jiang Ningning nodded, "Yeah, I'm going to sleep."
"That's good……"
What's good?
Before she could figure it out, the man suddenly blocked her lips and tongue.
The moment they touched each other, both of them felt a tremor in their hearts.
It was as if an electric current was running from the lips and teeth to the heart, and the spine was numb and tingling, with a heavy desire.
They were all energetic young men and women.
After a small flame jumped up, I don't know who was more excited.
Jiang Ningning hooked her arms around his neck, which was an encouragement and a hint.
The darkness in Huo Donglin's eyes grew darker.
Soon, the man, with a strong and domineering aura, kissed her all over, almost making her breathless, and her big hands gradually became uneasy.
However, at the last moment, Huo Donglin still relied on his strong self-control to stop.
Jiang Ningning was so weak that she didn't have any strength at all. She glared at him in dissatisfaction, "Can you do this?"
Huo Donglin: "..."
Almost no man can tolerate this sentence.
Although he wanted to prove himself, but...
"Wait till I come back!"
With his head against her neck, Huo Donglin felt like his body was about to explode. His voice was hoarse, "It's an urgent mission. I have to leave right away."
“So soon?”
Jiang Ningning woke up instantly after hearing this and asked anxiously, "Where are you going? Is there any danger?"
Huo Donglin simply loved the way she was nervous about him. He took her hand and kissed it under his lips, "Let's go to the capital."
In an instant, Jiang Ningning lost all her romantic thoughts and sat up straight: "It's just right for you to check something..."
-
Seconds.
Even Xia Xia, who had the lowest emotional intelligence, could keenly notice that Zeng's temperament had changed drastically overnight.
She used to be polite and distant, but now her weather-beaten old face was full of wrinkles when she smiled, and she couldn't suppress it no matter what she did.
Cai Jinhua decided to double compensate her granddaughter for the love she had lost for more than 20 years. Her voice was so gentle and loving that it almost smoked.
"Ningning, don't brush your teeth with cold water in the morning. I've got hot water ready."
"Ningning, eat two more eggs. They are good for your nutrition."
"Ningning, what do you want to eat tonight? How about stewed fish with pickled cabbage? That's grandma's specialty!"
…
The third peeled country egg was put into the bowl. Jiang Ningning looked up and met her grandmother's "loving and passionate" gaze, and she couldn't help shivering.
He then put the food in the other person's bowl and said, "Grandma, you should eat more. Look, your face has become thinner recently."
Cai Jinhua made a sound and took out a handkerchief to press the red corners of her eyes.
Jiang Ningning: “…”
Manman/Xiaxia:? ?
The little dumplings were extremely curious, their big black eyes moving around like countless ants gnawing at their hearts.
Until Jiang Ningning sent them to school, Manman couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what did you say to grandma last night?"
Jiang Ningning tapped the clever kid's nose with her finger and said half-truthfully, "Great-grandma had some conflicts with your grandfather before, and she never had any contact with our family. Now the misunderstanding is finally resolved."
Manman tilted his head and blinked his eyes, not knowing whether he believed it or not, but he didn't continue asking.
At this moment, two military doctors put on masks and carried medicine boxes and hurried into the school.
All students were stopped at the school gate.
“Ningning…”
Wen Xiuying trotted over, looking anxious, and stopped one meter away from the mother and her two children. "Your Manman and Xiaxia don't have a fever, right?"
Jiang Ningning shook her head, feeling a little uneasy: "What happened at school?"
As a female leader, Wen Xiuying was the most informed. "Several students in the school have chickenpox, and Tiezhu from No. 8 Courtyard next door to you was sent to the health center overnight."
"When I woke up this morning, my forehead felt a little hot. I missed my classmates, so I came here to tell you..."
