Wang Xiaolan lowered her head, and Zhao Sihai looked at her with wide eyes, his lips trembling. He tried to speak, but the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything.
"If you have something to say, please say it quickly. I have guests waiting for me at home."
As she spoke, she moved her legs and pulled them out of his hand.
At this time, Zhao Sihai was still lying straight on the ground, but he turned his head helplessly and stared at Wang Xiaolan.
He moved his cracked lips and slowly uttered a few words.
"Thank you!"
"No thanks."
As she was about to leave, Zhao Sihai's weak voice came from behind her.
"Is he here?"
Wang Xiaolan deliberately asked back: "Who are you talking about?"
Zhao Sihai paused for a moment and said, "I, I'm sorry for him."
"What's the use of saying this now? You destroyed a family and my mother-in-law's lifelong happiness. Can you solve it with just an apology? You know that you destroyed a military marriage, which is protected by law. You should just turn yourself in!"
After saying that, Wang Xiaolan walked out of the yard without looking back.
At this moment, Zhao Sihai looked at Wang Xiaolan's back as she walked away, and he suddenly realized that the mistakes he made when he was young were so serious that he was destined to not escape the punishment of the law.
He seemed to see the miserable years he would spend in prison in the future. The thought of this filled him with despair. He was going to die anyway, so why bother going to prison and suffering? He might as well end his own life and put an end to this precarious existence.
He suddenly got up from the ground and rushed towards the wall with all his strength.
The villagers stopped his foolish behavior in time.
He kept saying, "Why are you doing this? Can't I just die?"
The villagers said, "You wanted to die and no one stopped you, but your problems haven't been solved yet, so why are you dying so soon?"
At this moment, Zhao Sihai just shouted in despair: "Retribution! Retribution!"
The villagers who were watching said, "If Zhao Sihai keeps making such a fuss, someone might get killed. Hurry and send him to the village office for custody."
Several villagers carried Zhao Sihai, who was suffering from a mental breakdown, to the village office.
…
Wang Xiaolan's home.
Zhao Lihan was chatting with the guests.
County Magistrate Zhang took a sip of tea and said, "Li Han, you and Xiaolan are setting up a large business in the village and leading the villagers to prosperity. This is a great thing. I heard that you are also going to set up a pickle processing factory. This is a very good idea."
"Our villagers are quite good at making this kind of dish. It's a good thing to use the skills passed down by our ancestors and carry them forward."
"You can do it with confidence. We support you. I've discussed this with some county leaders and plan to hold a field meeting in your village to encourage everyone to learn from your village. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me directly or tell the commune. They will support you."
Zhao Lihan said, "These were all my wife's ideas. I was just helping her."
At this time, Elder Song took over and said, "Xiao Lan is a good child. Not only is she good at medicine, she also has a business mind. She is a rare talent. She is really buried here."
County Magistrate Zhang said, "Don't worry, Mr. Song. I will find a way to deal with her problem."
At this time, Wang Xiaolan came in with a plate of fruit.
"Uncle, I don't need your special care to prevent others from gossiping and using backdoors. I heard that the college entrance examination will be reinstated, so I will take the exam and get into university based on my own abilities."
Mr. Zhang was surprised and said, "Son, you are so busy, do you still have time to review?"
"Dad, don't worry, I have confidence."
Old Song smiled and said, "Don't worry, Old Zhang! This girl has her own ideas. I've wanted to take her back to the provincial capital for a long time, but she just wouldn't agree."
Wang Xiaolan said, "Godfather, I don't want to embarrass you! Otherwise, people will accuse you of abusing your power for personal gain, which will damage your image as a veteran cadre. That's not good. You have to believe in my ability. I will prove it to everyone with my own abilities."
Hearing what she said, the two old men laughed happily.
Wang Xiaolan said a few polite words and went into the kitchen.
Mr. Zhang couldn't help but feel happy when he saw his outstanding son and daughter-in-law.
Before leaving, his wife Sheng Lingling was still worried that this recognition of relatives would cause some trouble.
But now it seems that his son has not brought him any trouble. Instead, he has added a lot of troubles to his son and daughter-in-law, which makes Mr. Zhang feel very guilty.
Xiaobao snuggled in his grandfather's arms, stretching out his little hands to touch his beard, and then stuffing biscuits into his grandfather's mouth.
Old Master Zhang was like a naughty old boy, sometimes making faces at Xiaobao, sometimes tickling him, making Xiaobao giggle, his laughter as clear and sweet as a silver bell.
Blood ties, like a strong bond, bind the affections of two generations together tightly and cannot be severed.
It is so strong, as indestructible as steel, and as endless as a stream. No matter how time passes, no matter how far the distance, blood ties can keep the hearts of two generations tightly connected and never separated.
It is an eternal bridge that spans the gap of time, allowing family affection to be passed on between generations forever.
Zhao Lihan watched Xiaobao struggling on Grandpa Zhang's body and tried several times to take him from Grandpa Zhang's hands, but Xiaobao refused and kept pestering his grandfather.
…
The kitchen was steaming hot. The second master was killing chickens and ducks, and the second mistress was busy adding firewood to the stove.
