Seeing how angry Tan Xiaofang was, Wang Xiaolan quickly explained, "That's not the case, Xiaofang. Listen to me. It's mainly because our parents are old and in poor health, and they need someone to take care of them. The children are also growing up, and they can't live without their parents. Although Zhao Lihan can't go back for work, as his wife, I have the responsibility to fulfill his fatherly duties on his behalf."
As Wang Xiaolan spoke, she moved closer to Tan Xiaofang and whispered softly in her ear, as if she was saying something that no one else could hear. After a while, Tan Xiaofang's expression gradually softened, and the anger on her face was gradually replaced by a smile.
Finally, Tan Xiaofang looked at Wang Xiaolan and asked doubtfully, "Is what you said true?"
Wang Xiaolan nodded solemnly, looked at Tan Xiaofang with a firm gaze, and said, "We are comrades who have experienced life and death together. How could I possibly lie to you?"
After hearing what Wang Xiaolan said, Tan Xiaofang felt relieved, but she still had some doubts. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, since you said so, then I will believe you. However, if one day I really can't make it and have nowhere else to go, I will come to you, and you can't refuse to take me in!"
Seeing this, Wang Xiaolan quickly patted her chest and assured: "Don't worry, that's of course! What kind of relationship do we have? I will definitely not ignore you." Her tone was very generous, which made people feel warm.
Hearty laughter filled the entire room.
…
Kyoto. Zeng Qiang's home.
The family is having dinner together.
Dabao is now a fourth-grade student in elementary school, and Xiaobao is also a first-grade student. Both of them have joined the Young Pioneers.
Yu Wenlin was carrying two bowls of rice and placing them in front of Dabao and Xiaobao.
Dabao said: "Grandma, give it to Grandpa first, I'm not in a hurry."
Xiaobao said, "Me too. I'll give this bowl to my uncle."
Yu Wenlin said, "This is for you. Eat it first. Your grandfather and uncle's will be ready soon."
Zeng Cheng said, "These two little treasures, the pain they feel is not in vain. They know how much pain your grandfather and I feel!"
Then he stood up and said, "Mom, please sit down and I will serve the rice."
Yu Wenlin didn't bother to be polite with Zeng Cheng. He sat down next to Bao and looked at his two grown-up grandchildren with a face full of doting.
She stared at her two grandchildren quietly, her eyes revealing endless longing and worry. Time has left deep marks on her face, but her concern for her daughter remains unchanged.
"Nannan has been gone for six or seven years. I don't know how she is doing now." Her voice was filled with a sigh, as if all the long time was condensed in this sentence.
Zeng Qiang saw this and quickly comforted her, "Don't worry too much. Didn't the army send us good news two months ago? Nannan has brought honor to our Zeng family! We just need to take good care of these two grandchildren."
Just then, Zeng Cheng came over with two steaming bowls of rice and placed them in front of his parents. He smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, my younger sister has always been outstanding. Wherever she goes, she stands out. My colleagues at work saw the newspaper reports about her and were all envious of me for having such an outstanding sister. They even kept asking me if she was married..."
Dabao was unhappy when he heard this and said, "Uncle, Mom has Dad, you have to tell the truth."
Zeng Cheng said with a smile: "From what you said, is your uncle that kind of person?"
Xiaobao said: "That's more like it. Uncle is not a person with low IQ."
Yu Wenlin looked at the two brothers singing in unison with a smile and said, "You two brothers are becoming more and more sophisticated in speaking. I can't even keep up with you two."
Zeng Cheng said, "Mom, my little sister is so smart, how can her child not be smart?"
Yu Wenlin looked at his son and said worriedly, "What are you talking about? Your little sister's child is already so grown up, and you don't even have a partner. When will you give birth to a successor for the Zeng family?"
Zeng Cheng said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, your son will have such a day. When the time comes, he will let you take care of his grandson. Don't be disgusted."
Yu Wenlin said, "I don't mind. As long as you have the ability to survive, I won't mind the trouble."
Just as the mother and son were chatting, there was a knock on the door.
Zeng Cheng muttered to himself, as if talking to himself: "It's time for dinner, and you still have time to visit?"
As he thought about it, he slowly walked to the door, then gently grasped the door handle and slowly opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, a bright light shone in, making Zeng Cheng unable to open his eyes. After he adjusted to the light, he looked closely and found that there was a person standing at the door!
This person was none other than the little sister that the whole family missed day and night. She was standing at the door, her face filled with a bright smile, her big eyes looking at him with a smile.
Zeng Cheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He rubbed his eyes, afraid that he had seen it wrong. After confirming it, he exclaimed in surprise: "Little sister, you, you are back."
Wang Xiaolan said with a smile: "Brother, hurry up and help me with my luggage. My hands are sore."
Zeng Cheng hurried forward and took the luggage from her. With a smile on his face, he shouted in a loud voice, "Mom and Dad, my little sister is back!"
The cry echoed in the house, like a thunderclap, breaking the silence. Yu Wenlin and Zeng Qiang, who were in the house, heard Zeng Cheng's cry and put down their bowls and chopsticks at the same time. They looked at each other, with expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces.
