Chapter 366 Fu Xun: Is an old man and a young wife suitable?
"Fu Jiqiu, you are just a child. You should just listen to the adults' words. Don't make things difficult for Miss Su." Fu Xun scolded while he was about to hit his son on the head with the chopsticks in his hand.
But Fu Jiqiu was sitting between the two of them, raising his face pitifully and looking left and right.
The boy, who was always mature, didn't think he was meddling in other people's business.
Su Meikou stretched out her hand to block Fu Xun's chopsticks and chuckled, "Don't hit him on the head with chopsticks. Boys' heads will be against the sky in the future."
"Commander Fu, look how sensible Su Meikou is. I wonder how happy your family will be in the future. Don't worry about this matter. I will go and talk to the adults of the Su family." Wang Ziru saw that Su Meikou really loved her child, so she enthusiastically took on this difficult task.
This made Fu Xun blush and he couldn't say a word.
After dinner, Wang Ziru urged Su Meikou to go to the division headquarters to make a phone call. They had to report the matter to their family first before talking about the next thing.
"My home is in the mountains, so I'm afraid I can't contact them. I'll go home and talk to them." Su Meikou said embarrassedly.
But she had not heard Fu Xun's personal approval yet, so this was not something she could agree to unilaterally.
These days, living in the Fu family, the two of them got along very harmoniously.
Su Meikou had already secretly fallen in love with this gentle man in her heart, but she wanted to hear Fu Xun tell her in person that he liked her and wanted to marry her.
"Commander Fu, you guys should take care of the military affairs in the afternoon, and then come to the village to find us. I will take Miss Su to the village to see the vegetables I planted." Wang Ziru felt that she could only call them to a secluded place in the village so that they could talk alone.
Han Suijing felt warm at heart when he thought of the intimate hug he and his wife had shared in the village yesterday. He agreed on his behalf without waiting for Fu Xun to nod.
"Okay, Ziru, take the children to the village first, and we will come to find you later."
After saying that, he took Fu Xun and left the family compound.
Fu Xun felt very sorry, "Do you two really want to be my matchmaker?"
"We are just helping you create the right conditions! You have to explain the details to Su Meikou yourself. I can see that the girl has you in her heart and wants to hear you say in person that you like her." Han Suijing said with a smile.
The two returned to the division headquarters and sat in the office to chat for a while.
The heavy responsibility of border defense of Baiteng Town still falls on the shoulders of the Ninth Division. Han Suijing reminds Fu Xun to pay more attention to this matter.
Fu Xun came to the special forces this time mainly to escort a group of engineers.
Another thing is to take a look at my son.
Therefore, Han Suijing didn't have much else to discuss with him. After sitting for a while and drinking a cup of tea, he got up and went to the village.
The Yang family is the only family in the quiet village.
After lunch, the old couple continued to work in the fields around their house as usual.
Wang Ziru led Su Meikou to the village and let the children pick pears from the Yang family's dam to eat. Then they walked along the ridges in the vast farmland.
"I really admire you! Even though you've married a Korean soldier, you still can't sit still and plant such a large field of crops in the village." When Su Meikou heard that these were all barren slopes before and were only recently reclaimed and planted with vegetables, she couldn't help but look at Wang Ziru with admiration.
"It's such a good place. If we grow vegetables here, we will have vegetables to eat in the future."
Wandered around for half an hour.
Han Suijing and Fu Xun walked quickly into the village.
The two of them also walked along the ridge to the edge of the slope to see the vegetables that Wang Ziru had just planted.
"You two talk here. I'll take Han Suijing to see if the vegetables I planted have sprouted." Wang Ziru held Han Suijing's warm hand affectionately, deliberately waving in front of Fu Xun, giggling as she headed towards the valley.
Fu Xun and Su Meikou were left standing awkwardly on the edge of the field.
On the other side, Dali.
After a long journey, Teacher Xia finally returned to Dali with her daughter.
If we talk about the most respected family in Dali, apart from the wealthy Duan family, it would be the scholarly Xia family.
Over the years, the Duan family has lived a life of luxury, but they have never forgotten to spread kindness. During the difficult autumn and winter seasons, the Duan family would open their granary to help poor families. Grandpa Duan and his wife were also very generous to the people of Dali.
The Xia family, on the other hand, treated all their children equally, regardless of whether they were rich or poor.
The children who could not afford the tuition were waived, just so that these children could swim in the ocean of knowledge. Therefore, like the Duan family, they gained the same respect and love from the people of Dali.
After returning to the Xia family in Dali, the children who had always admired the radiant Xia Yunshu all ran to see the girl from the Xia family.
Who would have thought that when they saw Xia Yunshu at that time, with no radiance on her body and a sickly look on her face, the children ran away in a noisy manner.
For Teacher Xia, all that remains of her daughter's experience are memories and sighs.
But the old man of the Xia family was suspicious. After meeting Xia Yunshu, he called his son Xia Jinghuai to the study and asked in a stern voice, "Your eldest brother said that Yunshu was just depressed for a while and sent him to Beidaihe for treatment for half a year, but he became like this?!"
Xia Jinghuai also wanted to say that when he first arrived in Kunming and finally saw his emaciated daughter, he felt heartbroken.
He understood his father and was well-read, so it was not impossible for him to make things clear with him.
"Dad! Your doubts are also my doubts, but if you knew that something incredible and bizarre happened to Yun Shu, you wouldn't be confused anymore."
Afterwards, the father and son opened up and talked things out.
The old man of the Xia family was so old that his eyesight was blurry and he almost fainted.
Xia Jinghuai quickly stood up and went to hold his old father, saying with a heartache: "Dad, now that things have come to this, we can only accept this child. If she had not experienced hardships, how could she have become the daughter of our Xia family?"
After waking up, Grandpa Xia burst into tears. His granddaughter, whom he had hoped would inherit the Xia family's cultural heritage, had lost her soul and turned into a lonely spirit from nowhere.
Xia Jinghuai knew in her heart that the Xia family could accept this child, but she would still have to go through some hard pursuit before she could finally become like the real Xia Yunshu.
After a long silence, Xia Jinghuai only said: "The world is so big that nothing is impossible. I would rather believe the bizarre things that happened to Yunshu. So, no matter who she is, in my eyes, she will always be the daughter of my Xia family."
Both father and son are respected teachers in Dali. They have been teaching and educating people all their lives and are always kind to others.
Faced with this bizarre incident, there was no way to explain it, so the family had to tell everyone that the child was in a bad mood and needed to stay at home and not see visitors.
Xia Jinghuai came out of the study and went back to his room to talk to his wife for a while.
His wife was also a well-educated woman. When she saw her daughter's appearance, her tears had already wet two handkerchiefs.
As a mother, what I care about most is that my daughter will have a happy future.
But with the way she looks now, which husband-in-law would dare to marry her?
Xia Jinghuai comforted his wife, turned around and came to the door of his daughter's room, "Yunshu, is there anything you want to eat? I'll ask my aunt to cook it for you."
"I..." Xia Yunshu was like a frightened bird. She knew that she was not worthy of such a quiet and elegant room in this completely unfamiliar mansion.
She hurriedly stood up from the stool in front of the antique dressing table.
"Can I live in that attic you mentioned?" she asked timidly.
Xia Jinghuai frowned slightly and thought for a moment, "No one has lived in the small attic for many years, and it still needs to be cleaned. You can rest in the room. I'll ask my aunt and the others to clean it up later, and then you can move in."
In the evening, Xia Yunshu moved into the attic.
The small attic is located at the back of the Xia family's house. The room is not very big, but it is clean and tidy. There is a small wooden bed and two rows of small bookshelves inside, filled with various books.
Standing by the window, you can see the towering mountains of Dali in the distance, as well as the white walls and black tiles and densely packed houses around. The scenery outside the window seems peaceful and distant.
Xia Yunshu recalled the time when he was locked up in this small attic as a child.
My favorite thing is to move all the books to the window, stack them up one by one, and then sit on the pile of books and look at the world outside the window.
She suddenly wanted to repeat what Xia Yunshu did when she was a child.
He turned and walked to the bookcase, took down all the books, moved them to the window, built a high pile of books, then climbed on top and sat on it.
She took off her little leather shoes, sat on the pile of books, and dangled her bare feet on the high windowsill.
Below is the Xia family's backyard. I wonder who saw this scene from downstairs.
Suddenly, he shouted to the girl on the attic: "Yunshu, get down quickly! It's too dangerous to sit so high up."
Xia Yunshu was still immersed in the happiness of his childhood, when he suddenly heard the voice. He was so frightened that his feet missed a step and he fell down from the windowsill!
"Yunshu! Yunshu!!" The person who was cleaning the yard in the backyard suddenly screamed.
Under the bright sunlight, Xia Yunshu fell to the concrete floor in the backyard with a thump. His forehead was broken and blood was flowing.
The Xia family was suddenly in chaos.
In the front yard, Xia Jinghuai had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard someone rushing to the front to report.
He dropped the tea in his hand and quickly ran to the backyard.
"Yun Shu has passed out. Let's send her to the clinic quickly!" Everyone saw that Xia Jinghuai was so scared that his face turned pale, and they hurriedly reminded him.
Xia Jinghuai's face was solemn. He quickly asked someone to take out a handkerchief to bandage the broken part of Xia Yunshu's forehead, then he picked up his daughter and ran out.
When we arrived at the clinic, several doctors started to treat the patient.
"Doctor Xu, you must save my daughter!" Xia Jinghuai paced anxiously outside the emergency room. When he saw his old acquaintance Doctor Xu, he made a solemn plea.
"Don't worry, Old Xia. You don't have to tell me this. I will do my best to save the child." Doctor Xu said, patted the back of Xia Jinghuai's hand, and hurried into the emergency room.
Many members of the Xia family came to the clinic and waited anxiously outside the emergency room.
Xia Jinghuai felt very regretful. If he had known that she would also pile the books by the window and sit on the tall pile of books, he would never let her move to the attic no matter what.
