Chapter 356 The original oath will never change
"Mom hasn't come back yet, the door is locked, and Fu Jiqiu and I can't get in." The child said aggrievedly.
Han Suijing sighed deeply, and gradually put away his grief. He picked up the child and said softly, "Dad will take you back to the courtyard."
At this time, the family courtyard was filled with pots, pans, and bowls, forming a moving fireworks song.
The wives of the soldiers were chatting and busy cooking by their own stoves. Then they saw Han Suijing carrying the child back to the family compound, and they all looked at them curiously.
Han Suijing didn't want others to see him like this, so he lowered his eyes, walked quickly to the door of his house, took out the key, opened the brass lock, and opened the door.
The bright and clean home was still furnished as before. On the table in the small living room there were a few enamelware cups they had used, which had been cleaned and turned upside down on the tea tray, without any mess at all.
He had not paid attention to these details before, but at this moment, Han Suijing felt a warm current in his heart. Even though she might not be the woman he had vowed to be with, she still silently and attentively took care of him and his son.
If she had chosen to marry into the Duan family, she would be the young lady of the Duan family now.
With a nanny, a driver, a gardener and others serving her at home, she can do nothing but do what she likes every day, waiting for her man to come home from get off work...
"When will Mommy come home? I'm a little hungry." Baoer went into the small living room and looked for his mother everywhere. The little guy seemed a little confused.
Although Fu Jiqiu was also young, he noticed that Baoer seemed dazed. Even though the door was locked when they returned home, he still went to the room to look for his body.
The boy remained calm, walked to the door of the room, and took Baoer's hand, "Baoer, let's go read some comic books for a while."
Seeing this scene, Han Suijing felt a little uneasy.
He checked the time on his watch. It was already past five o'clock and the mother had not come home yet. He suddenly remembered that when he left home in the morning, he had said that he might not be back until tomorrow.
So she must have thought they were still in Queensland.
"Baoer, you and Fu Jiqiu are tired, so go back to your room and lie down for a while, or listen to the radio. I'll ask Song Yan to bring you food later." Han Suijing said as he took out a porcelain basin and towel from home, turned around and went out to fill a half basin of cold water at the sink.
After washing the faces of the three of them, Leng Se disappeared downstairs in the family compound.
Wang Ziru leaned lazily under the eaves of Old Man Yang's house, crossed her legs, supported her chin with her hands, and stared at the green mountains in a daze for the whole afternoon.
When Old Man Yang finished collecting the corn cobs in the yard, he could not help but urge her, "Comrade Ziru, it's almost dark, why don't you return to the troops?"
Coming back to her senses, Wang Ziru suddenly smiled, with a hint of self-mockery in her smile: "Uncle Yang, if you don't know me, you would think I've lost my soul."
"It's okay! Don't think too much. Just like you said, it's impossible to live a lifetime without regrets." Old man Yang took a big broom and cleaned the yard skillfully, with an indifferent and clear-headed look on his face, as if he was indifferent to life and death.
"That's right! Uncle Yang, I'm going back to my home."
Old Man Yang nodded and placed his big broom against the wall under the eaves. "I'll take you to the highway."
"Uncle Yang, you are so kind-hearted. I hope you can live to be a hundred years old."
"Hehehe, what's the point of living such a long life?" Old man Yang smiled and waved his hand. He sent Wang Ziru out of the village and walked her to the road before turning back.
When Wang Ziru returned to her family compound, almost every household had already had dinner.
She hadn't even reached home yet. She had just climbed to the fifth floor and looked at her home from a distance. She found that the door was open. She was shocked. "Boer and the others are back?!"
I walked quickly to the door of the house and saw two little guys sitting on small chairs, one of them holding a military lunch box in front of him.
"Baoer! When did you come back?"
"Mom..." The little cute baby was strong enough at this moment, but when he heard his mother's familiar and gentle voice, the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground and he ran to his mother crying.
"Huh? You and your father went back to Kun City. Are you wronged?"
Wang Ziru smiled and sighed, squatted down, picked up the child, kissed his crying face, and asked softly: "Tell mom why you are so sad to see mom crying?"
The little boy hung his arms tightly around his mother's neck and cried so sadly.
Wang Ziru gently patted her son's sobbing body and glanced at Fu Jiqiu. The young man seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had something to say but didn't.
Could it be that Han Suijing rushed back to the special forces in such a hurry because he heard that Xia Yunshu was also here?
He was afraid that Xia Yunshu would see Bao Er's current mother? !
Suddenly, her heart sank. She secretly calculated the time and understood something.
She pulled out a chair, sat down with the child in her arms, and stared at the boy who wanted to say something but remained silent. "Did you meet Uncle Baoer on your way back?"
"Auntie, did you guess?"
The smile on Wang Ziru's face slowly faded, a trace of bitterness appeared on her face, and she murmured in a low voice: "Is this fate? They met on the road after all..."
Then, Fu Jiqiu told his aunt what he had seen.
No wonder Baoer threw himself into her arms with a sad look when he saw her. It turned out that he saw Xia Yunshu.
Wang Ziru was in mixed feelings. She thought she had figured it out and it was okay. But when she saw Baoer's look and heard what happened on the road, she felt extremely heavy in her heart.
No one would believe this if it were told to others, but it was like a sharp thorn that pierced deeply into Han Suijing's throat, causing him pain and discomfort.
Fu Jiqiu had no idea what incredible things had happened to the adults. He looked at Wang Ziru with a puzzled look and asked, "Uncle doesn't look like he's seeing that aunt for the first time. Auntie, do you know?"
"They are all military cadres and family members. It's not surprising that they know each other." Wang Ziru forced a smile on her pale face.
After finally coaxing the child into submission, Wang Ziru got up and scooped up half a bowl of rice to cook.
I fried some rice with diced pork fat and cucumber for the two children, added two eggs and sprinkled some soy sauce. The aroma of oil and saltiness greatly increased their appetite.
Wang Ziru didn't leave any food for the man, guessing that he couldn't eat anything in his current state.
Over there, it was getting dark before Grandma Xia saw the girl who had gone out for a walk return to the hotel.
"Yunshu, where did you go? Why did you go out for a whole day? Jiuye sent someone to pick you up, but he couldn't find you anywhere."
Duan Yanfei was also tired from the ride. She glanced at Xia Yunshu unhappily and said sarcastically, "Don't ask me, Auntie. I don't want to take your Xia Yunshu out to play anymore. It's too boring."
"..." Grandma Xia smiled awkwardly.
Han Dixing nodded politely to Grandma Xia, and glanced at his fiancée with clear eyes, "We went to visit the special forces. The journey is a bit far, so we came back late."
"Oh, it's okay, let's go back upstairs first." Grandma Xia pulled Xia Yunshu and went straight upstairs.
Han Dixing also followed them and was about to go to his parents' room to say hello.
At this time, Han Tingzhang walked out, with no smile on his handsome face, "Han Dixing, you are back?"
Han Dixing thought he was seeing things, and when he looked over, he saw the familiar figure of his elder brother Han Tingzhang. He was delighted, "Brother! When did you arrive in Yun Province?"
"It's just evening." Han Tingzhang responded in a deep and slightly tired voice.
Duan Yanfei had been sitting in the car for several hours and was already tired. When he saw his future uncle suddenly coming to Kun City, he ignored him without any concern and went back to rest.
Of course, Han Tingzhang didn't like his sister-in-law, especially since she was a member of the Duan family.
The third child of the Han family met his two elder brothers one after another within one day, and his excitement was beyond words.
How could he know that his elder brother had not told his parents in advance and had flown to Yun Province in a hurry, mainly to see Xia Yunshu.
In the evening, Han Tingzhang arrived in Kunming City and appeared in Taihe Street in a very low-key manner. He met with his parents and also spoke on the phone with his second brother Han Suijing.
So he also knew that Xia Yunshu went to the special forces that day, and not only met Wang Ziru, but also met his second brother.
Grandma Xia had been to Shangjing before, but she would only stay for a few days before returning to Dali. She often heard others mention the two proud sons of the Han family, who had a bright future and a distinguished family.
Especially the eldest brother Han Tingzhang, who is already the top defense official in Beijing at a young age. Few people can match his ability.
Finally meeting the elegant and noble military officer as rumored, Grandma Xia looked at the young man, who was as solid and reliable as the earth, with a kind look, "So you are Commander Han? My apologies."
Before this, Grandma Xia had never had the opportunity to pass by each other at such a close distance.
She was a little surprised to see Han Tingzhang here suddenly.
Moreover, she had already heard that Xia Yunshu and Han Tingzhang were secretly dating. The old man's eyes could not help but slowly scan the girl beside him.
He took Xia Yunshu's wrist, said hello and went upstairs.
Han Tingzhang approached slowly, glanced at Grandma Xia quickly, and looked at Xia Yunshu with his dark eyes. Just one glance, her figure that was so thin that it no longer looked the same as before, deeply hurt him.
He hadn't seen her at all in the past six months.
He regretted his initial impulse, which caused her to go home and tell Xia Guowang that they were dating, but she was not allowed to do so. In anger and despair, she cut her wrists.
Xia Yunshu hid behind Grandma Xia with her face lowered. The dim candlelight in the lobby corridor could only illuminate the section at the staircase entrance and could not reach her position at all.
Therefore, even though Han Tingzhang and Xia Yunshu were only a few steps apart, they could not see each other's expressions clearly.
Just now, Xia Yunshu looked at the tall figure opposite him from a distance, folded his hands in a daze, his heart beating like a drum, his heart was in a mess, the only thing he could do was to shrink his body.
Little did he know that Han Tingzhang just wanted to confirm whether the girl in front of him was the one he was familiar with, the bright and pretty girl who would act like a little girl when she saw him.
But as he got closer, he could clearly see that the girl looked nervous and scared.
Han Tingzhang's heart was broken, his face was full of despair, and his voice became hoarse: "Grandma Xia, please go upstairs first. Yunshu and I have a few words to say."
"Brother! You..." Han Dixing's eyes were full of confusion. Why did his elder brother and second brother look like this when they saw Xia Yunshu?
Grandma Xia was a little embarrassed. She turned her head to look at the nervous girl and said, "Yunshu, you also have something to say to Commander Han, right?"
Hearing the sound, Xia Yunshu had not yet reacted to their conversation, and her rapidly beating chest revealed her nervousness and anxiety.
“I, I…”
She raised her head and looked at the tall man opposite her with fear.
Being stared at by Han Tingzhang's scorching eyes, Xia Yunshu's mind was already in a mess and she didn't know what to say at all, but the only thing she was sure of was that in the future, she would marry this man.
How could she refuse him?
He nodded and whispered, "I just happen to have something to say to him."
Although she had already decided to accept her new identity in her heart, she was also very clear that her original oath to Han Suijing would never change.
Grandma Xia was full of worry, very much afraid that the girl would throw a tantrum. She watched Xia Yunshu follow Han Tingzhang to his guest room.
"Grandma Xia, these are the perilla and cinnamon seedlings that my second sister-in-law dug up in the village. She said she wanted Xia Yunshu to take them back to Dali to raise them. Shall I send them to your guest room?" Han Dixing had not forgotten the bag of urea in his hand.
"You also dug up the saplings and brought them back to Dali?" Grandma Xia was stunned, not understanding what the second daughter-in-law of the Han family meant.
Dali is surrounded by mountains. You can find all kinds of saplings in the mountains. Why did you bring some saplings back to Dali all the way from Kunming?
Although she was thinking this in her heart, Grandma Xia still nodded politely and said thank you.
Xia Yunshu followed him into Han Tingzhang's guest room, and the two of them looked at each other in silence.
"Sit down and have a cup of tea." After Han Tingzhang sat down, he glanced at the thin girl standing there, signaling her not to be nervous.
He made a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of her.
Xia Yunshu walked over slowly and sat down, "Thank you."
"Why should we be polite to each other?" Han Tingzhang was stunned when he heard this, then he lowered his head slightly and drank his tea. The Yun Shu he knew would not be so distant from him.
Xia Yunshu held the tea in his hand for a long while before carefully drinking a few sips. "Brother Tingzhang, what do you want to say?"
"Should I call you Ziru?" Han Tingzhang asked in a low voice, staring blankly at the girl opposite him who was trying hard to be strong and calm.
