Jane Ning didn't pay much attention to his "eh" sound, thinking he saw something new. But when she heard him say that this place felt a little familiar, her heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but glance at Ding Youtian, who happened to be looking at her as well.
With just one glance, Ding Youtian understood what Jian Ning was thinking. He glanced at Ma Fuquan and saw a hint of confusion on his face. He asked tentatively, "Why, have you heard of Jiguan Mountain?"
Ma Fuquan shook his head. He was certain this was the first time he'd heard the name in his past and present lives, but he couldn't help but feel it was familiar. Not only was the name familiar, as if he'd heard it somewhere before, but the mountain itself also looked familiar.
Strange, could it be that I saw it in a dream?
"Haha." Ma Fuquan laughed, "Maybe I've dreamed of this place before. It seems this place is destined for me. Let's go and take a look."
Ding Youtian glanced at Jian Ning sideways. Jian Ning didn't think that she had seen Ma Fuquan in a dream. The scene of her dream that year emerged in her mind. Wu Juan stayed by the bedside and read to Captain Wu every day. She thought that Jiguana Mountain might have appeared in the book that Wu Juan was reading.
Wu Juan and Captain Wu grew up together, so it seems that she has some understanding of him. Whenever their special police team arrives at a mountain, whether they are setting up camp or surrounding the mountain to arrest criminals, Captain Wu will carefully observe the characteristics of the mountain.
She thought that Wu Juan had probably described it to him in detail when she was reading. The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. She was afraid that the mountain described by the author in the book that Wu Juan read to her just happened to correspond to the Jiguana Mountain in this time and space.
Who knows?
Jian Ning was in a state of panic. There was no doubt that Wu Tuan was showing signs of waking up over there. What would happen to Tian and the children? She couldn't help but hug Ma Xiaolu tightly in her arms.
Ma Fuquan himself was not affected at all. He looked around with great interest and even showed off his skills to the yamen runners and city defense soldiers who were practicing shooting. This not only attracted the attention of Tong Bajin and others, but also made Ma Xiaodou and others jump for joy.
Tong Bajin and the others were taught how to shoot by Jian Ning, and then they took the lead in teaching others. Ding Yang knew Ma Fuquan's ability, but he didn't know that he could shoot like Jian Ning.
"Brother Ma, you are really great. This is it." Ding Yang gave Ma Fuquan a thumbs up, and felt proud in his heart because Ma Fuquan was also from Dingxian Village.
"Haha, you're not bad either. Work hard and you'll definitely have a bright future following your fourth brother." Ma Fuquan smiled heartily and patted him on the shoulder.
That's right, it's a good idea to follow the fourth brother. Last time, Jian Ning gave Ding Yang a few days off and asked him to go back to the village to see his children and wife. His younger brother Ding Jian always envied him.
In the end, it was his father who had the foresight and the right ideas. If his father hadn't beaten him and his brother, and then taken them to apologize to their fourth brother and his wife, and to Mrs. Tian in front of the villagers, how could his brother and his brother be in this situation today?
Although his younger brother Ding Jian was unable to follow his fourth brother, he and his stepmother Chang ran the winery prosperously. Several houses in the family, including Chang's original house, were rebuilt and expanded. Now his father walks with his back straight in the village, all thanks to his fourth brother and his stepmother.
Ding Yang grinned and said, "I will follow Fourth Brother and work hard. Before I came here last time, my father repeatedly told me not to get cocky and think I can fly to the sky just because I have some skills! I remember it all. I am still a long way from being as good as Big Brother Ma. How can I not work hard? I will never bring shame to our village!"
"Well said, a man should defend his country, be neither arrogant nor impetuous, and improve his skills so that he can deal a heavy blow to foreign invaders in the future!" Although Ma Fuquan was not a political cadre, he had heard a lot in the past. Since he went to Wuyiying as an admiral, he has worked part-time as a political commissar, and he has done a good job, and gradually gained some experience.
Now he was in a good mood and took the opportunity to do political and ideological work for them. He spoke incessantly, leaving Tong Bajin and the others stunned and full of respect for him.
After all, he is the admiral from the capital, several people thought to themselves, and Ding Youtian also secretly praised him, saying that he was worthy of being a member of the military. He was good at shorthand, and he found what Ma Fuquan said very inspiring, so he wrote down every word.
When they came down from the mountain, it was already Youshi. Erniu and Sanniu should have been dismissed from school at this time. Ma Xiaodou was still thinking about her friends whom she hadn't seen for a few years, so she urged Dabao and his second brother Ma Xiaomi to go to the school to pick them up.
"Daddy, Mom." Dabao looked at Jian Ning and Ding Youtian, asking for their opinions with his eyes.
"Go ahead." Jian Ning patted Dabao on the shoulder, "Just don't buy snacks for them. If they eat snacks, Jiajia won't eat dinner."
"Mom, I also want to pick up my second and third sisters." The big girl said with her head raised.
"Okay, you guys go together. Don't stay outside. Mom will go back to cook. You guys should come back early."
After returning to the yamen, Jian Ning went into the backyard and heard Tian's hearty laughter coming from the dining hall from afar.
The ingredients for dinner were ready, and since it was still early, Tian chatted with Qinglian and Duan Xinyan in the dining hall.
"What are you talking about? It's so lively." Jian Ning had a faint smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"I was showing them the foolishness of my appearance." Tian crossed her legs, holding them with one hand while tugging at her skirt with the other. She said with a smile, "Your sister praised the color combination of my clothes and said they suited me very well, so I remembered to tell them. In the past, I didn't know how to match clothes. I just bought anything bright and colorful and put it on myself, making me look like a rooster. My old face still gets hot when I think about it now."
She put her foot down, stood up, and pulled Jian Ning to her side, saying, "Do you think my husband, Ma, is a bad person? He always knew that I didn't dress well earlier, but he lied to me and said that I looked good. If your eldest sister hadn't come back to see Dabao and said that she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted me to be friends with you, she would have opened up to me and told me the truth. Then she took me to pick out ready-made clothes and took the time to explain to me in detail which colors are suitable for my age and taught me how to match them. Otherwise, how would I know all this?"
Seeing that she was blaming Ma Fuquan but her eyes and brows were filled with unconcealable joy, Jian Ning felt as if a needle had pierced her heart. The sound of Tian's heart-wrenching cries in the early morning of the day when Ma Fuquan had the accident echoed in her ears.
I think that at that time, Tian just felt that the pillar of the family had fallen. Her shrill cries were more about the fear of future life rather than the heart-wrenching pain of losing her loved one.
Jane Ning couldn't imagine whether she could bear the heart-wrenching pain if Captain Wu woke up and left her and the kids behind.
Putting herself in his shoes, if she knew that Ding Youtian was going to leave her... she dared not even think about it. Just thinking about it made Jane Ning feel as if it hurt to breathe!
Unable to bear facing Tian's smile again, she made an excuse that she was tired and asked Duan Xinyan to call a mother to help Tian and Qinglian cook, and she hurried back into the house.
