Chapter 364 Teacher Xia has good intentions

"Remember, girl, your name is Xia Yunshu, from the scholarly Xia family of Dali, and mine is Xia Jinghuai."

Teacher Xia had a pleasant voice. She picked up the enamel pot with her thin fingers, made two cups of hot tea with the thermos, half stood up, and gently placed one of the cups in front of the girl.

Xia Yunshu didn't know what else she could do. It seemed that once she met him, all the words and composure she had prepared collapsed. She quickly retracted her fingers, but her curiosity was aroused, and she looked at Teacher Xia with open eyes.

She wondered what kind of girl this body was.

"When it comes to the Xia family of Dali, everyone in Dali knows about it. Your grandfather Xia Nuoxun has had high hopes for you since you were a child, hoping that you can become an excellent woman. You have been gifted since you were a child, but unfortunately you have an impetuous temper."

"When you were little, in order to let you study and practice calligraphy in peace, Grandpa locked you up in a small study room in the attic, where you ate, drank, defecated and urinated."

Xia Yunshu, who was sitting on the chair, was about to stretch out a finger, but upon hearing this, he quickly retracted his finger.

I actually felt a little sympathy for Xia Yunshu's childhood experience. She was not like her at all. She was like a wild child in the village. It was late at night and the moon was hanging in the sky, but she was still playing hide-and-seek with her friends.

Gradually, she seemed less afraid of the strange man in front of her.

Teacher Xia took a sip of tea and smiled humbly, "Although you like reading, you don't like being locked up in the attic to read and write. So, you spent half a day taking down all the books on the bookshelf, moving them to the window, piling them up one by one, and then standing on the tall pile of books and lying on the windowsill to look into the distance."

"Won't we get beaten if we do this?" Xia Yunshu asked in surprise.

Waving his hands, Teacher Xia continued patiently, "Finally, when you were almost 11 years old, you decided to follow your aunt to live in the capital and join the wider circle of the Shangjing compound."

"And after you arrived in Shangjing, you became a disciple of a teacher at a music academy, learned to play the piano, and also learned to take people's pulses and study medical books. When your grandfather knew about this, he was furious. Our Xia family is a family of scholars, and we have always produced intellectuals, not doctors."

"Of course, your uncle is an exception. He joined the army by chance."

Xia Yunshu gradually became more and more interested in Teacher Xia's favorite daughter, as if she was listening to a very interesting story.

She had long forgotten what happened to her in real life.

She secretly guessed in her heart: "Teacher Xia must be a very good teacher."

"And you, not only studied medical books, but also studied medicine with your aunt's brother! So, your grandfather was so angry that he ignored you for half a year and didn't reply to your letters. He even resisted reading the letters you sent home. But when no one was paying attention, he quietly opened the letter to find out what new discoveries you had made recently."

Speaking of this, Teacher Xia shook his head and smiled, recalling the past.

In this way, he is reshaping past memories with his daughter.

"Your grandfather knew that you were just curious and wanted to study medicine, so he let you go. He didn't say anything more, but you knew in your heart that you were not cut out for medicine, so you concentrated on learning cultural knowledge. Soon, you were able to speak a few relatively fluent English sentences. We were very pleased to see that you were willing to learn from such an English teacher."

Xia Yunshu suddenly became nervous again because she didn't speak English and could only understand some simple words and sentences.

She was afraid that after returning to Dali, one day she would reveal her true colors in front of Grandpa Xia.

When she was still in Beijing, she vaguely heard the Xia family say that to the outside world, the Xia family all said in a unanimous tone that she was ill and it was inconvenient for her to see outsiders, so she was sent to Beidaihe for treatment.

In this case, perhaps only the Xia couple in Dali had heard of her strange experience.

"Gradually, you not only got good grades in English, but also excellent grades in all subjects. Although you live in the military compound in Shangjing, your life is as ordinary as ever, but Dad knows that you are very happy in your uncle's house. Usually, what you like to do most is to stir up trouble between your cousin brother and cousin sister in your uncle's house, and then happily watch them fight."

Xia Yunshu suddenly couldn't help wanting to laugh again. It turned out that Xia Yunshu, a lady from a noble family, also had a naughty side.

Although he knew that he was living under someone else's roof, he still acted as if he was at home.

"After that, as you grew older, you were about to become a young lady. One day, I was talking to your uncle on the phone and heard that you had a crush on a man, but he was not the one your uncle liked."

Xia Jinghuai's eyes were a little dim as he drank tea from an enamel mug.

After a while, he continued, "Although uncle didn't like you and Han Tingzhang, he turned a blind eye and didn't stop you from dating him secretly. Until this New Year's Day, you participated in the army's New Year's Day cultural evening."

Xia Yunshu swallowed his saliva. Could something have gone wrong at the New Year's Eve party?

"At the party, you recited a famous English poem, and sang "An Evening on the outskirts of Moscow" in Chinese and Russian with the singing soldiers of another art troupe. You were so dazzling on the stage that I don't know how many soldiers' hearts you won and how many girls from the academy were eclipsed."

Xia Yunshu was deeply shocked. It turned out that Xia Yunshu was just as they said, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

She is really a radiant girl.

"Everyone in the Xia family is very happy to see you becoming more and more brilliant, especially your grandfather. Seeing that his good granddaughter has finally become what he hoped she would be, with higher and higher education and a broader world to see, the old man is extremely happy."

When Xia Jinghuai said this, his expression suddenly darkened. "But the girls in the family compound were ready to make a move. Finally, someone gave your aunt a bad idea and wanted to marry you to a disabled military officer in the capital."

"Xia Yunshu is so outstanding, why did she marry a disabled person?" the girl sitting on the chair said in amazement.

"The other party has a very strong background. Whether it is family background or power in the capital, it is far beyond the reach of Han Tingzhang. For the sake of your uncle's future, your aunt made a mistake and allowed the matchmaker to take you to meet the other party. I don't want to repeat what happened later."

Xia Yunshu's eyes froze, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He slowly lowered his head to look at his wrist.

There are two shocking scars there. Could they be caused by this incident?

Suddenly, her nose felt inexplicably sore. It turned out that she had also encountered a dilemma that she could not solve!

If she had been allowed to marry a disabled man, she would rather spend the rest of her life with only the Three Thousand Buddha Lamps, let alone such an outstanding man, Xia Yunshu, who was full of light? !

Xia Jinghuai slowly raised his eyes and looked at the girl with a familiar face but unfamiliar temperament.

In the face of such bizarre words as skin and soul, he was actually grateful to the girl in front of him. It was she who brought his pearl back to Dali again.

"Although the Yunshu I was familiar with is gone, but when I think of the fact that she sacrificed her own body to save another equally poor girl, my heart no longer aches." He sniffed and took out a handkerchief to wipe his misty eyes.

Xia Yunshu asked calmly: "What are you planning to do by saying this?"

"Come back to Dali with me, and let everyone see a brand new Xia Yunshu, instead of the terminally ill you that you are now." After a pause, Xia Jinghuai continued, "When we return to Dali, you can slowly tell me what happened to you and what I can do for you."

Suddenly, Xia Yunshu's tears rolled out from his eyes.

How could she have deserved to meet such a kind-hearted father!

No wonder she had cultivated a radiant lady like Xia Yunshu. It was a pity that she was too stupid and would probably never let him see the lively, lovely, petty and stubborn Xia Yunshu again...

The next morning, Xia Jinghuai took his daughter and set out on the journey back to Dali.

The special forces are bustling.

Fu Xun set out from the Ninth Division in the middle of the night by car and arrived at the special forces at only ten o'clock in the morning.

In addition to a group of engineers, Su Meikou also came with him.

"Dad! Why did you bring Miss Su here to see me?" Fu Jiqiu had already heard that his father would arrive at the special forces in the morning, so after breakfast, he took Baoer with him, and the two little guys squatted neatly at the gate of the force waiting.

The two guys' necks were almost sore from waiting before they saw Fu Xun's car drive into the military gate.

Fu Xunkuan smiled bitterly and looked back at Miss Su. "She just came to see you on her way. She will go back to her hometown in Baiteng Town in the afternoon."

"Ah? Why does she want to go back home?"

The joy on Fu Jiqiu's face froze. He thought Miss Su missed him, so she came with his father to see him.

After getting off the car behind Fu Xun, Su Meikou looked around. Hearing Fu Jiqiu's surprise, she giggled and walked over to look at the boy who was friendly but distant. "I've lived in your house for so long, it's time for me to go home."

"But you said you have a partner in the army." Fu Jiqiu asked coldly.

"Well, a few days ago, I made it clear to my ex-boyfriend that he wanted to break off the engagement, and I went along with him." Su Meikou said to the young man somewhat awkwardly.

Fu Xun patted his son's head rudely, and then touched Bao'er's little face, "Fu Jiqiu, look, Bao'er is like a little adult, but you, the mother-in-law, even control Miss Su."

Bao Er was praised by his uncle. He walked over and took Su Mei Kou's hand, "Auntie, come to my house. My mother is making delicious food for you."

Before coming, Su Meikou heard that Han Bingtuan had a four-year-old son.

I didn't expect her to be so cute and well-behaved. When we met, she wasn't shy at all and just took me home.

Su Meikou half covered her cheek and chuckled, then followed the two little cute babies to the family compound.

The two men stood there, watching their backs disappear downstairs of the family compound. Han Suijing smiled and said, "The two children keeping each other company really saves the adults a lot of trouble."

"You're right! So, when do you and your sister-in-law plan to have a second child?" Fu Xun laughed out loud.

Han Suijing chuckled and said calmly, "Don't worry, just let it go."

However, Han Suijing was even more curious about why Fu Xun brought a girl to the special forces, and he asked curiously, "What's going on between you and this Miss Su? Are you not proactive enough? Why would you let her go back to her hometown after you've already brought her home?"

Fu Xun immediately laughed at him: "Did you learn bad things from your sister-in-law? You would never say such a thing before."
