After returning to the house, Song Tingzhi pulled Jiang Cheng to sit in front of the dressing table.
"You are so nice to my family!" Song Tingzhi took off Jiang Cheng's headband and put it away for him.
"Ever since I married you, not only you, but also my parents have been very kind to me. They really treat me as a family member, so naturally I will treat them well too!"
Jiang Cheng picked up the comb and started combing his hair slowly.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Song Tingzhi put his hands on Jiang Cheng's shoulders and kept his face close to his ear.
"It's not hard. With this job, you can relax a little!" Jiang Cheng's ears were tickled by Song Tingzhi's hot breath, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Song Tingzhi didn't say anything, but just hugged Jiang Cheng's body.

Another night passed, and Jiang Cheng took out the soybeans from the woodshed to soak them, preparing to visit other villages tomorrow.
Jiang Cheng was feeding the chickens when he heard someone outside saying that there was news about Dahai.
The sea? The sea! Oh, it's Lu Xiaoxiao's husband. He joined the army before and there has been no news for three years.
Jiang Cheng put down what he was holding and walked towards Dahai's house to see what was going on.
"What happened to Dahai?" Dahai's mother threw herself on the person who brought the message and asked anxiously.
Ever since Dahai left, Dahai's mother has been guarding Lu Xiaoxiao and Qiaoqiao waiting for Dahai to come back. She didn't expect that she failed to keep them and made such a big joke!
She felt so sorry for the sea!
Dahai Niang was eager to know the whereabouts of her son.
When the messenger saw Dahai Niang's expression, he felt a little reluctant. After hesitating for a long time, he took out the things he brought and handed them to her.
Dahai Niang snatched the things and found that they were a bag of silver and a letter.
Dahai Niang was illiterate, but when she saw that there was not only a letter but also a bag of silver, her heart trembled.
"Help me take a look!"
Dahai Niang grabbed Jiang Cheng, who was closest to her, and stuffed the letter into his hand, asking him to read what was written in the letter.
"This..." Jiang Cheng had a bad feeling and was reluctant to open the letter.
"Hurry up and open it to see what's written inside!" Dahai Niang anxiously pulled his hand.
Jiang Cheng couldn't refuse and could only take out the letter and read it.
"What are you writing?" Dahai Niang became anxious when she saw Jiang Cheng was slow to speak, and kept urging him.
"The letter says..." Jiang Cheng couldn't finish the sentence.
"What did you say?" Dahai Niang stared at Jiang Cheng. Seeing that his expression was wrong, she became even more panicked.
Jiang Cheng pursed his lips and told the contents of the letter.
"What?!!!"
When Dahai Niang heard what Jiang Cheng said, her eyes went dark and she fainted.
"Fuck the sea!"
When the others saw that Dahai Niang had fainted, they hurried over and moved her into the house to lie her down. Then they called the village barefoot doctor to check her out.
"He fainted after hearing the bad news, but he will be fine after a while." The barefoot doctor knew the situation after taking the pulse, shook his head and prescribed some tranquilizers.
The people around sighed inwardly when they heard the doctor say this.
A young man went to the battlefield, thinking he would return home in glory, but he died in battle and even his body was never found!
Ever since Dahai left, Dahai's mother has been looking forward to his early return every day, but she didn't expect this to be the result!
"Dahai..." Dahai's mother woke up slowly and looked around wanting to see her son.
But not long after, she remembered the contents of the letter and burst into tears.
"My son! How could you be so cruel to leave me alone? You unfilial son! I told you not to go, but you refused! You insisted on going to the battlefield!"
Dahai Niang cried and talked.
The content of her speech included complaints about her son and her love for him. Every word she said made others feel sad. Some people even wiped away their tears after hearing her say that.
We are all from the same village and are familiar with each other, so it is natural that we are sad.
"It's my fault! I couldn't protect your wife and daughter. It's my fault! I'm going to get them back! Get them back..."
As Dahai Niang was talking, she thought of Lu Xiaoxiao and Qiaoqiao who had left, and got up from the bed to look for them.
Someone saw her trying to get out of bed and quickly went over to stop her.
The person who stopped her was none other than Aunt Ma, with whom she was on good terms.
"His mother, you should have a good rest! Don't rush to look for the mother and daughter! Have you forgotten that Xiaoxiao has divorced Dahai before!" Aunt Ma reminded.
Before Dahai Niang could react, Aunt Ma pushed her back onto the bed.
"Yeah..." Dahai Niang lay on the bed in a daze, muttering.
Aunt Ma couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and didn't want others to continue watching the fun, so she persuaded everyone to leave and left herself alone with him.
Aunt Ma handed the money bag brought by the messenger to Dahai Niang.
"After all, Dahai brought this back with great effort. Now that Dahai is gone, you should at least hold a funeral ceremony for him so that he can rest in peace!" Aunt Ma advised.
"Yes, my Dahai is still in trouble! I want more..." Dahai's mother hurried to get up after hearing what Aunt Ma said.
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Aunt Ma stayed with her for a while before leaving.
As for Dahai's matter, Ma Da Niang had no solution. She could only let Dahai Niang process it herself, as the pain of losing a child was something no one else could understand.
As soon as Jiang Cheng entered the door, Xu Sanniang called him.
"What happened just now? Why did you run out in such a hurry..." Xu Sanniang was very curious. When she saw Jiang Cheng coming back, she called him.
Jiang Cheng told her everything he knew. After hearing it, Xu Sanniang couldn't laugh anymore. She didn't expect it to be this kind of thing! Alas!
"Dahai's mother is also a pitiful person. Her husband died early in life, and she raised her son alone. Just when they were about to get married, Dahai went to join the army again."
"She waited for three years, and finally got some news, but it turned out to be the news of Dahai's death..."
Before Xu Sanniang finished her words, she sighed, stopped talking, and turned to do other things.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng went to do other things.
This kind of thing happened in the village, and the good mood after the New Year was greatly dampened.
Dahai's mother took the money bag left by Dahai and held a grand ceremony for him. All the villagers went to mourn him. They had watched Dahai grow up, and everyone was sad about what happened to him.
It’s just that the degree of sadness is different!
When Lu Xiaoxiao learned about Dahai's death, she brought Qiaoqiao to pay tribute to him.
Although she and Dahai had divorced, she was ultimately the one who had let Dahai down and felt guilty! Xiaoxiao was his biological daughter, and he would still be filial to Dahai's mother in the future.
