"Xinyue, don't worry. I've asked, and the logistics director's courtyard is a bit far from our home. And we have guards and bodyguards at home, so we won't let irrelevant people in casually." Sheng Tuanan Jianzhan Xinyue didn't say anything, but he knew what she was thinking, so he spoke to comfort her.
"Well, I'm not worried." Zhan Xinyue smiled and said, "I'm just worried about whether my mother-in-law will let me go to recognize my relatives."
Zhan Xinyue's worry is not unreasonable. No matter what year it is, filial piety can always prevail.
She was afraid that Dong Wushuang would say that Dong Xiaoqin was the one who gave you life, and they were related by blood, so no matter what, you couldn't deny your biological mother.
Sheng Tunan seemed to be thinking about something. The two of them were silent all the way. When they were about to reach the first floor, Sheng Tunan saw Dong Wushuang bringing the bags to the table and immediately said, "Mom, I have something to tell you."
"Ah?" Dong Wushuang stood up immediately when she saw Sheng Tunan's serious expression. Cold sweat broke out on her face. She asked in a trembling voice, "Your father didn't come home yesterday. Did something happen to him?"
"No, no." Sheng Tunan waved his hands quickly, "The leader took into consideration that Dad's body has not fully recovered yet, so he let him go to rest before twelve o'clock."
Sheng Tunan finished the meeting at around 2 a.m. He went to check on Shen Min'e's sleeping place and saw that his father was sleeping soundly, so he did not wake him up.
"I'm scared to death." Dong Wushuang patted his chest. Shen Min'e had experienced countless assassinations over the years. She had been frightened for more than 20 years and would think the worst at the slightest sign of trouble.
After sitting down for a while, Sheng Tunan had to rush back to the army for a meeting, so he chose a bag of soy milk for breakfast.
Zhan Xinyue brought a bowl of milk to her mother-in-law, patted her back, and said softly, "Mom, Dad is a credit to the country. He has made such a contribution, he must be blessed. In the future, everything will be safe and sound."
Dong Wushuang took a sip of milk, patted Zhan Xinyue's hand, and nodded, "Yes, I believe that good deeds will be rewarded."
Sheng Tunan ate five meat buns and drank a bowl of soy milk. Seeing that Dong Wushuang had calmed down, he wiped his hands and said, "Mom, what I want to say is that Dong Xiaoqing will move to the military compound in a few days. If she comes to visit, don't let her in."
"Who is Dong Xiaoqing?" Dong Wushuang couldn't remember for a moment, but then he felt that the name was somewhat familiar, so he held his head and tried hard to recall.
"Mom, she is my..." Zhan Xinyue started to speak, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Dong Wushuang.
"I remember now, she's a snobbish girl!" Dong Wushuang curled his lips, "I will never let her in with this kind of person."
"Xinyue, don't worry, your mother-in-law knows what's going on. I won't let her harass you again." Dong Wushuang patted his daughter-in-law's hand, giving her enough sense of security.
Sheng Tunan looked at his watch, stood up and said, "Mom, Xinyue, I'm going to the army."
"Okay, drive carefully on the road." Dong Wushuang and Zhan Xinyue instructed at the same time.
Sheng Tunan responded with a "yes", and quickly walked out of the room to the yard to drive.
As soon as he left, Dong Wushuang took Zhan Xinyue's hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, if Dong Xiaoqing comes to see you again, tell mom. I'll help you scold her back."
Zhan Xinyue nodded with emotion, lowered her head and began to concentrate on eating breakfast. After eating all the fried dough sticks, Zhan Xinyue couldn't help but say,
"Mom, I thought you would persuade me, saying that Dong Xiaoqing gave me a life after all, and asked me to forgive her and recognize her as my biological parent. But I didn't expect you to protect me like this. Mom, thank you."
"Silly child, I, your mother-in-law, am not old-fashioned." Dong Wushuang touched Zhan Xinyue's head lovingly.
"Your grandmother was not in good health. After giving birth to me, she had difficulty getting pregnant. Your grandfather was very open-minded. A few years ago, when the country was still under emancipation, he said that sons and daughters were the same. He did not want sons in the future. Having a daughter like me was good enough."
"I grew up in their love and care, and never suffered from the sin of favoring boys over girls. I don't have the idea of favoring boys over girls, nor do I have other feudal ideas. I think that if you want to distinguish between love and hate, you must first ensure that you are not bullied. There is no need to compromise."
The more love you receive as a child, the more you will love yourself when you grow up, and you will be able to teach the younger generations to love themselves well.
Dong Wushuang was like this. She felt sorry for Zhan Xinyue's experience and didn't want to have anything to do with her daughter-in-law's so-called biological mother.
If Dong Xiaoqing dared to come over shamelessly, she, Dong Wushuang, would scold her so hard that she couldn't save face!
"Xinyue, Mom has gone to school. Go upstairs and sleep for a while." Dong Wushuang put away the dishes and prepared to go out with his briefcase containing his textbooks.
Zhan Xinyue then realized that someone was missing, so she asked Dong Wushuang: "Mom, is Zhixian at home?"
"He went to Huazhong University of Science and Technology. He received a notice last night asking him to report today." Dong Wushuang changed into flat shoes, opened the door, and said, "I told Master Chen to make you a delicious meal this afternoon. Mom won't be back this afternoon, so you should have a good rest at home."
"Okay." Zhan Xinyue nodded. After seeing Dong Wushuang out the door, she felt sleepy and went upstairs to sleep.
Zhan Xinyue was so sleepy that she slept for less than 5 hours last night and she slept until after 1pm.
Master Chen was aware that since Zhan Xinyue hadn't gotten up yet, he didn't go upstairs to urge her. He prepared all the dishes and cooked the rice, and only started cooking when he saw her coming down.
One person can't eat much, so Chef Chen fried a bowl of pickled pepper beef and made a dish of loofah soup, both of which are the favorite flavors of Hunan people.
"It smells so good," Zhan Xinyue felt hungry after looking at the dishes, "Master Chen, let's eat together."
"I've already eaten." Master Chen replied.
Zhan Xinyue glanced at the time, it was two o'clock in the afternoon, then looked at the round belly under Master Chen's apron, and knew that Master Chen was telling the truth, so she nodded and started to eat.
When practicing martial arts, one's appetite will not be small.
After a while, Zhan Xinyue had eaten up all the food.
After dinner, Zhan Xinyue looked outside and saw that it was cloudy, so she went out for a walk to digest her food.
Most of the houses in the military compound are independent, with high walls and tightly closed gates. There are always one or two guards at the door.
It is not difficult to see that the people living here are of relatively high status.
Zhan Xinyue walked for more than ten minutes and felt that she had almost digested the food, so she prepared to go home.
After taking a few steps, I heard a child's heart-wrenching cry and the faint anxious shout of a woman.
Zhan Xinyue followed the sound and saw a woman in her forties holding a crying baby. She looked at a boy who was only four or five years old and said anxiously to a guard,
"Xiao Guan, go drive the car and take Xuan Bao to the hospital."
The guard was also very anxious and drove the car immediately after receiving the order.
The female comrade then instructed another guard, "Xiao Liu, go to the headquarters and find my father. Tell him that Xuanbao fell down from the wall. Tell him to go to the hospital immediately."
"yes."
Zhan Xinyue has amazing eyesight and can see Xuanbao's situation clearly even from a distance.
The child was still able to cry and did not vomit, which meant that there was no injury to any important internal organs in the head and the child was not in danger of death.
But one of Xuanbao's legs was hanging limply, probably because it was broken and could be healed by bone straightening.
However, Zhan Xinyue knew that doctors don't knock on doors and knowledge is not easily passed on. Besides, Xuanbao's life was not in danger, so she did not step forward to help.
After all, she was too young, and if she went up rashly, the female comrade would not believe her.
At this time, Mingxuan had already been carried into the car by the female comrade. Zhan Xinyue watched the car drive out of the hospital and speed towards the hospital.
