The captain thought for a moment and said, "Yes, get more rest. It's been tough on her all these years." At this point, the captain asked doubtfully, "Speaking of which, where have you been all these years? You don't look like the kind of person who would abandon his wife and children."
"I am a scientific researcher. I left without saying goodbye six years ago to go to work." He Yunming thought about it and told the team leader the truth.
The captain looked at him with an expression of astonishment. "No wonder you know so many soldiers. And that Mr. He that Comrade Zuo is protecting is you, right?"
He Yunming nodded, "That's right, Captain. I'll be leaving soon. Ah Shu and the other children are in your care."
The captain waved his hand, "Well! It's not a big deal. I'll take good care of them."
"By the way, Captain, Ah Shu has been raising An An alone these past few years and her health is not good. Don't let her go to work. My salary is enough to support them both." He Yunming added.
"That's fine." The captain said directly.
He Yunming breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Captain."
As they talked, they walked and soon arrived at the threshing ground. Everyone in the threshing ground looked at He Yunming with surprise. They began to whisper, and although the voices were not loud, they were clearly audible in the open field.
"Why is he here? Could it be that he feels bad seeing Xiaoyun going to work alone?" A middle-aged woman whispered, with a bit of speculation and gossip in her words.
"I think it's possible. He probably feels that his reputation is bad and is pretending to be nice," another young man agreed.
Shen Yuandao, who came from behind, heard this. He poked He Yunming's arm and said jokingly, "How are you, little uncle? Are you happy?"
He Yunming raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Shen Yuan and said, "It's okay, anyway, your uncle-in-law didn't do anything immoral."
However, the captain couldn't help but yell after hearing this, "Don't talk nonsense, An An's father didn't abandon his wife and children, he had his reasons."
Everyone stared with wide eyes, looking at the captain who usually hated evil but now defended He Yunming, and they couldn't help but feel confused.
Someone couldn't help but question loudly: "Captain, what benefits did He Yunming give you that you are so siding with him? Xiaoyun and An'an have had a hard time these past few years, you know that."
"Yes, Captain, don't you hate people like this the most? Why are you speaking for him now?" someone else echoed.
The captain walked up to the platform, picked up the loudspeaker he always used, and explained in a loud voice.
"Do you remember those military comrades who came yesterday? They knew An An's father. In recent years, An An's father has been working in confidentiality."
Hearing this, the villagers showed expressions of disbelief on their faces, whispering and talking to each other.
"Really? Is He Yunming so capable?"
"I didn't lie to you. There are several comrades in An An's family who are specifically protecting him. An An's father is working for the country. You can't slander him." The captain looked serious.
After hearing this, the villagers realized that they might have wronged He Yunming, so they began to apologize.
"An An's father, I'm sorry." Tie Zhu's grandmother was the first to speak, with a hint of guilt in her voice.
Other villagers followed suit and apologized.
"I'm sorry, we wronged you."
He Yunming smiled and waved his hand, saying good-naturedly, "It's okay, you mean well." His voice was gentle and tolerant, which made the villagers feel even more guilty.
Seeing that it was almost time, the captain spoke again, "Yesterday, a soldier went up the mountain and hunted a wild boar. It's now at An'an's house. After work at noon, gather here and we'll divide the meat."
"Really? Captain, we have meat to eat!" The villagers were very excited when they heard the news and cheered.
The team leader nodded and said with a smile, "That's right. Okay, let's get to work. Just remember to share the meat at noon."
When everyone heard that there was meat to eat, they went to work excitedly.
…
At noon, Su Mianmian and Shen Yuandao led Dong Xiangbei and Dong Xiangnan to the Yun family to carry pork.
The wild boar was carried to the threshing ground and the team leader began to distribute the meat.
Su Mianmian and Shen Yuandao were carrying the freshly divided meat when they met Qin Huaichuan and Su Qingqing halfway.
Seeing this, Su Mianmian immediately became curious. She quickly walked over, took Su Qingqing's hand, and asked curiously, "How's the progress?"
Su Qingqing heard this, shrugged, and replied calmly: "That's it."
Su Mianmian couldn't help but sigh when she saw her best sister like this.
It seems that Qin Huaichuan still has a long way to go in pursuing his wife! However, she didn't say much, after all, this was a matter between the two of them.
The four of them chatted and laughed all the way back to the Yun family. As soon as they entered, they saw busy figures in the yard. Wen Yuexian and the others were packing their luggage.
Seeing this, Su Mianmian hurried over and asked, "Mom, have you finished building the house?"
Wen Yuexian found time to reply, "Yes, Comrade Zuo and the others helped us today, and it's already been built. We're ready to move in."
Su Mianmian felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to live with them forever, but she knew the priorities of the matter.
Su Yanshu stood in front of Wen Yuexian's legs, his mouth pursed as if he was about to cry.
At this moment, she saw Su Yanshu standing next to Wen Yuexian, his mouth pouting, almost crying. Su Mianmian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She walked over and picked up the little guy, "What happened to our little Ah Yan?"
The little guy had been holding it in, but after Su Mianman asked this, he couldn't help sobbing anymore and started sobbing softly, "Wuuu...sister, mom is leaving, wuuuuu..."
Su Mianmian was heartbroken. She wiped the little one's tears and coaxed her softly, "It's okay. I'll take you to see Mom and Dad as soon as I have time, okay? You still have a sister."
Su Mianmian held the little one in her arms and comforted him until he stopped crying. He broke free from Su Mianmian's arms, ran to Wen Yuexian and said, "Mom, Ayan will help you pack your luggage."
Su Mianmian also smiled slightly, "I'll help you."
After a few people packed their luggage, they helped them move it to the cowshed.
When I returned to the Yun family, it was time to start work.
Qin Huaichuan still sent Su Qingqing to work. Su Mianmian looked at their backs and whispered to Shen Yuandao, "When did Qingqing and Qin Huaichuan get together?"
Shen Yuandao pondered for a moment and shook his head, “I don’t know.”
"Okay, didn't you ask Qin Huaichuan?" Su Mianmian didn't quite believe that the two had never talked about it privately.
Shen Yuandao was helpless, “Recently, I’ve been sticking with you during the day, and several of us sleep together at night, so I don’t have time to discuss.”
Su Mianmian nodded, "Let's go quickly."
When they arrived at the threshing ground, Qin Huaichuan came back before they even started.
"Mianmian, I have good news for you. The school over there has been built and you can go to work." After saying that, she looked at Shen Yuan with a gloating expression and said, "Ayuan, from now on, Xiao Su Zhiqing can't go to work with you."
