Hearing that man's name again from someone else's mouth, Yang Fang felt a little depressed.

He had been in the army most of the time, and they had been married for six or seven years, but the actual time they had spent together was less than a year.

When they were young, they must have had feelings for each other, but they were together less and apart more than they should have been, so she didn't have much feelings for him, which is why she remarried with her child.

However, if that man were still alive, their life as a family of three would probably not be too bad.

Soon, the two, led by Old Man Zhang, finally arrived at the Red Flag Team.

On the way to Shen's house, some elderly people recognized Yang Fang and Shen Man.

"Oh, why does she look so much like Xiaofang to me? Why does the young girl next to her look so much like Shen Ming and Xiaofang when they were young?"

"I think so too. I guess so."

"Captain Ming's family, Hongxia, is getting married, so she should come visit her relatives."

Shen Man listened to the discussions and looked at the houses around her. Although there were no brick and tile houses, the yards of each house were quite spacious and looked clean, bright and tidy.

It was much better than the short, dilapidated adobe houses of the team next door that they had just passed by.

Moreover, these members had few patches on their bodies, their faces were rosy, and each of them looked very energetic.

It seems that her uncle, whom she has never met, is indeed extraordinary.

In less than three years since he became captain, he has transformed the once poorest team into a brand new one, and led his family to become more and more prosperous.

At this time, from a distance, Shen Man and Yang Fang saw a green brick and tile house, which looked very imposing.

Old man Zhang, who was driving the ox cart, stroked his beard and pointed at the tile-roofed house.

"Manman, see? Your old Shen family, your grandma, and your uncle all live here."

"Speaking of which, everyone in your Shen family is promising, from your biological father to your uncle, and then to your cousin, they are all great."

"There is only one brick and tile house in our Red Flag Corps. Jianguo is a promising kid. Now he works as a worker in the city. In just a few years, he has built a house like this for his family."

Shen Man remembered that this cousin had visited her in the city before and brought her a red silk scarf.

But she was not at home at that time, so she didn't meet him.

Soon, led by Old Man Zhang, Shen Man and Yang Fang carried their bags and things and rode their bicycles to the gate of Shen's house.

The two of them went up to knock on the door when it suddenly opened.

An old lady with a vegetable basket in her hand came out. She looked up and saw two people standing at the door of her house. She was stunned for a moment, "You...you guys..."

Yang Fang was so excited, "Mom, come to me, I'll bring Manman back to see you."

The old lady recognized the person instantly, her eyes became red, especially when she saw Shen Man, her whole body couldn't help but tremble.

"Fang, the girl next to you... must be my granddaughter. She looks exactly like her father, especially her face. She looks exactly like him."

Thinking of this, Wang Aifen could no longer suppress her emotions, and she ran to Shen Man, hugged her tightly in her arms, and shouted to the people in the room.

"Old man, come out quickly, look who's back."

Although Shen Man was only five or six years old when she left the team, her memory of this place is already vague.

But at this moment, those gradually blurred old memories became clearer again.

She subconsciously hugged the old lady back, her nose felt sore, and tears flowed out, "Grandma, I'm back."

When Shen Man was still young, famine broke out everywhere and countless people died of starvation. The corpses of refugees were seen everywhere on the road.

The Red Flag Team had always been at the bottom of the poorest group in the commune. At that time, almost every household had to rely on digging wild vegetables and eating tree bark to survive all year round.

Because her father was a soldier in the army with a high position and a high salary, he sent money and tickets home every month.

The Shen family's conditions were pretty good in the entire commune, and although they suffered from hunger, no one died of starvation.

But that's all. If you want to eat a little better, you can't do that.

But Shen Man still had not suffered any hardship. The two old people loved her and secretly subsidized her.

The eggs and the maltose her father sent back from the army almost all went into her mouth.

Others are skinny and pale, but Shen Man is fair and tender, and looks very pleasing.

Memories, the pitch-black night, under the dim kerosene lamp.

The two old people held her in their arms, gently stroked her head, and fed her chicken egg custard.

Zhang Aifen noticed that her granddaughter, whom she had waited so long for, was crying, so she quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

"Manman, don't cry. Your face won't be pretty if it gets red from crying. Grandma still remembers that you like to be coquettish and don't like to cry."

"It's a good thing to come back, I should be happy, why should I cry?"

Shen Man held back her tears and wiped her face with a handkerchief.

You really can't cry. Your eyes will get swollen and your face will be bloody. How will you face people then?

What's more, I will be facing more people later with a tearful face, which is really embarrassing.

Yang Fang, who was standing by, immediately saw what her young lady was thinking. She walked over and pulled the two apart. She took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to Shen Man to wipe her face. Then she took Wang Aifen's hand and said.

"Mom, don't just talk about Manman, but also about you. Stop crying. This time when I came back, I not only brought her to visit you two, but also let her go to her father's grave to pay her respects."

Speaking of her son who had sacrificed his life so early, Wang Aifen couldn't hold back her tears and choked up and cried, "Xiaofang, your father and I are so grateful to you for bringing Manman back."

How could they not love their son, who left behind only this one concubine?

Fortunately, their daughter-in-law was a good person. Even after remarrying for so many years, she did not stop them from contacting Manman, nor did she stop Manman from coming back to see them.

At this time, hearing the shouting, Old Man Shen and other members of the Shen family all ran out.

When I saw Shen Man and Yang Fang, I couldn't help but get excited.

Especially the old man standing in the front, with tears flashing in his cloudy eyes, he walked to Shen Man step by step with the help of Shen Tang, leaning on a cane.

"Manman, Grandpa finally waited for you to come back."

"You look so much like your dad. When grandpa saw you, it was like seeing your dad..."

Shen Man stepped forward and supported the old man, "Grandpa, I'm sorry it took me so long to come back to see you."

At this moment, she really felt guilty towards the two old people.

Obviously, the Red Flag Corps was not far from Pingxian, but she had never thought about coming back to visit the two old people. If her mother hadn't mentioned it this time, she probably wouldn't have thought of it.

She was definitely wrong about this.

"It's okay, I'm glad you can come back..." Old man Shen held Shen Man's hand and moved his lips up and down.
