"Xiaoqing, don't listen to the child. Guagua is only a year and a half old, what does he know? Hurry up and act like the brigade commander's wife and teach Xiaosheng a lesson. What's so great about being a regiment commander? My son-in-law is the brigade commander, he has nothing to fear. If Xiaosheng dares not listen to you, let my son-in-law resign."
Zhang Lihua's eyes were blurry and she didn't notice that her daughter was in a bad condition. She kept chattering and urging Dongfang Xiaoqing to find trouble with Sheng Tunan.
"Haha." At this time, Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan had already walked over. She looked at Zhang Lihua as if she was a fool. "Madam? Don't say such nonsense. This is the cancer of capitalism."
In the 1970s, words like "Miss" and "Mrs." were not considered nice words.
Sheng Tunan said coldly: "My boyfriend just had an allergy and rushed to the hospital. It's not that I'm impolite."
놛 relied on his excellent combat skills, experienced life and death time and time again, and made several great contributions to become the regiment commander. The troops have strict discipline, and it is impossible for 놛 to be demoted for no reason.
What's more, although Brigadier General Li is a good superior, he is a straight-laced person and would never do anything that would lead to others' advice.
Therefore, Sheng Tunan just found Zhang Lihua's words funny, and no matter what, even if he would be treated unfairly in the future, he would protect his lover and think of Zhan Xinyue, who he had obtained for two lifetimes.
If a man weighs the pros and cons for the so-called future and does not speak up for his lover, what kind of man is he?
"Sister, are you in pain?" Li Yuchen struggled out of Zhang Lihua's arms, walked to Zhan Xinyue, and looked up at Zhan Xinyue's face which was still a little swollen.
Children do not understand what allergies are, but they know that they go to the hospital because they are sick, and being sick causes pain.
"Sister, I'll blow on you and it won't hurt." The little ball raised her little face and grabbed Zhan Xinyue's trousers and tried to climb up.
Sheng Tunan didn't dare to do that. What if the water blew onto Zhan Xinyue's face? She quickly picked up Li Yuchen and put him in Dongfang Xiaoqing's arms, saying, "Be good, Guagua. Sister won't feel any pain after taking the medicine."
I didn't dare tell anyone that Zhan Xinyue was allergic to water. If it got out, wouldn't it give those who hated her an excuse?
Zhan Xinyue squatted down slightly and touched Li Yuchen's head, "Thank you, Guagua, I don't feel any pain anymore."
As Zhan Xinyue got closer, Dongfang Xiaoqing's expression became even stiffer. She stepped back with the child in her arms. Zhan Xinyue was a little puzzled. She stared at Dongfang Xiaoqing, making her face turn paler.
"Mom Guagua, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable because of the heat?" Zhan Xinyue asked softly.
Dongfang Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Yes, yes, I just finished my meal. It's too hot. There are too many people here. It's too stuffy. I'll take the kids home."
After that, he said to Zhang Lihua anxiously, "Mom, let's go back first. You can make me some mung bean soup to cool me down."
Zhang Lihua looked at her daughter's exquisite jacket with a small suit collar, touched her forehead, and asked in confusion: "You are not sweating now, the weather is not hot, you are weak, aren't you afraid of cold but not heat?"
"Mom, don't ask me. I feel dizzy. Let's go." Dongfang Xiaoqing had already stood up and walked out holding the child, as if she was running away.
Zhang Lihua was worried about her daughter's health, so she hurried out. Her daughter was now the brigade commander's wife, so she must take good care of her.
"Goodbye, sister." Li Yuchen twisted his body, climbed onto Dongfang Xiaoqing's shoulder, and waved his chubby little hands towards Zhan Xinyue.
"Goodbye." Zhan Xinyue smiled and waved goodbye.
The state-owned hotel was crowded and not a good place to talk. Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue looked at each other and decided to pack some rice noodles for grandma first.
The old man's digestive system was deteriorating and his teeth were not very good, so Zhan Xinyue asked the chef to cook the rice noodles a little softer. Fortunately, rice noodles were easier to digest than noodles, so the old man could still eat it. For the filling, he chose steamed soft soda meat, which cost 1 cent and two taels of grain coupons.
The two packed their bags, got in the car, and prepared to drive back to the Changhong Brigade.
"Is Guagua's mother the brigade commander's first wife?" The two got in the car, closed the door, and started the car. The car drove out of the commune and came to a country road with Metasequoia trees on both sides. Zhan Xinyue held the packaged rice noodles and asked openly.
"No, the brigade commander is 50 years old this year. His first wife has passed away. Guagua's mother is only 38 years old. She used to be an actress in the county theater. Later, she found a connection to join the cultural troupe. When she came to perform in our army a few years ago, she fell in love with our brigade commander and the two got married."
The country roads in the 1970s were full of potholes. Sheng Tunan tried his best to drive the car smoothly. Zhan Xinyue looked at the man's superior profile, swallowed hard, and continued to ask, "Is Guagua's mother getting married for the second time?"
Years ago, Dongfang Xiaoqing was already 33 years old. In this era, few people are unmarried at the age of 33.
"It's her second marriage. Her first husband died of illness. Military marriages require political review. At that time, her family situation was investigated very clearly by the Logistics Department. However, she and her first husband had no children. The brigade commander and his first wife do have a daughter, who is now a doctor in the military hospital."
"Why are you suddenly so concerned about Guagua's mom?" Sheng Tunan asked curiously.
Without waiting for Zhan Xinyue to answer, he tapped the steering wheel as if he had suddenly realized something, "Xinyue, I just remembered that Guagua's mother's eyes were still droopy years ago. She looked very similar to you, and was very beautiful. Do you suspect that she is your biological mother?!"
