Chapter 31: Sister?



On the way back with the child in his arms, Ran Xiasheng kept thinking about this question.

I'm afraid something big has happened in Zhai Jianguo's home.

Although he only told Lao Yang about accompanying the army when he called him, he was afraid that the problem was not that simple.

If it is just a common problem of accompanying the troops, this problem is easy to solve.

But if other issues are involved, then this may be difficult.

He couldn't help much now. The only thing he could do was to wait until Jianguo brought the children to join the army so that he and Yuehua could lend a hand.

Although Jianguo does not yet have the conditions to accompany the army, he is given special treatment for special events.

If your child lives in the county town, it is still okay for him or her not to go through the formalities for accompanying the troops.

He can help with this.

Ran Yingying's mood also became a little depressed.

She had known for a long time that her brother would have a hard life, as he had always been kicked around by his relatives in his previous life.

But this life seems to be more miserable than the previous one.

Father Zhai is not dead yet, he is still alive and well, but these people are bullying my brother like this.

It was hard to imagine that when Father Zhai died in his previous life, his brother's life must have been even harder than she knew.

At this moment, she was glad that she was back.

He also brought back the koi bloodline.

She couldn't help him with other things, but there was one thing she could do, and that was to bring good luck to her brother, to help Zhai's father survive that dangerous incident, and to prevent her brother from losing his father.

As for Mother Zhai, she remarried in her previous life, and she probably can't escape the fate of remarrying in this life.

Judging from the fact that Father Zhai called Uncle Yang and the fact that his brother was almost sold, Mother Zhai might have done something out of line.

if……

Mother Zhai has not done anything to let Father Zhai down, nor has she let her brother down, so she can still avoid the fate of remarrying.

However, I am afraid that something has already happened that she is not aware of.

Ran Yingying was very distressed and worried about her brother, her heart was broken.

Ran Xiasheng accidentally saw the little baby's wrinkled face, which seemed to be very distressed.

As if I'm worried about something.

Ran Xiasheng was suddenly amused. Why did he feel that his daughter was also worried about Jianguo's family?

Just thinking about it makes me feel incredible for this idea.

How old is his daughter? How could she possibly understand what is going on between him and Old Yang?

Even if she could understand it, it would be strange if her daughter with cotton stuffed in her mouth could hear it.

More importantly, how could my daughter have those thoughts? She was only born not long ago.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I had really been led astray by Old Yang.

"Are you hungry, baby? Be good, Yingying, don't cry. We'll be at the hotel soon, and you'll be able to reach your mother soon, and you'll be able to drink milk."

Ran Yingying suddenly woke up, looking confused. What happened just now?

Why does Dad act like he’s sorry for her?

She is not hungry.

The father and daughter stared at each other for a long time, and Ran Xiasheng walked faster.

The baby is really hungry.

As soon as I walked into the hotel, I saw Staff A, who was sitting at the front desk, suddenly stand up.

"Mr. Ran, are you back?"

Ran Xiasheng ignored her, just nodded slightly and went upstairs.

Suddenly, a worker called out from the back: "Mr. Ran, is there anything we can help you with? Hot water, meals, we have everything."

Ran Xiasheng simply said "thank you" and went upstairs.

Staff A wanted to speak again, but suddenly found that he couldn't open his mouth.

Ran Yingying, who was originally glaring at Ran Xiasheng, tilted her head slightly.

Although she couldn't see Worker A, she was severely blocked by Dad's big chest.

But that doesn't mean she can't see Staff A's expression and face.

This staff member...

Something seems wrong.

The look is wrong.

Xiao Yingying finally began to think about it and no longer simply believed that Staff A was just doing his job.

At this time, Ran Xiasheng had already carried Ran Yingying upstairs and opened the door of the room they were in.

Mi Yuehua was sitting on the bed bored, unable to do anything and with nothing to entertain herself.

I can only lie in bed and rest.

At this time, there was no TV or other entertainment tool. I was just idle and did nothing but sleep.

Ran Yingying felt very sorry for her mother, but this is what everyone does during the confinement period.

She saw that her mother didn't seem so upset or irritable, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Seeing them come in, Mi Yuehua sat up from the bed and asked Ran Xiasheng: "How is Yingying? What did the doctor say?"

When the father and daughter were away, her only concern was the child's health.

Worried that something really happened to the baby.

"It's okay, the doctor said the baby is not sick, he just sneezed." Ran Xiasheng comforted her.

Mi Yuehua said: "Is it okay to sneeze?"

"It's okay. The doctor said the baby is very healthy, healthier than most babies of his age."

Ran Yingying raised her chest and said: "Of course, there is nothing wrong with my body. I practice every day and I am in good health."

Not only does she want to be in good health, she also wants her parents to be in good health.

"Zhi Feng came here just now." Mi Yuehua said, "She brought a doctor with her. She is the most famous obstetrician and gynecologist in the county. She examined me."

Ran Xiasheng straightened up.

Ran Yingying also straightened up at the same time, trying to turn her head and listen.

"The doctor examined my entire body and said there was nothing wrong with me."

Ran Xiasheng felt relieved again, as long as nothing happened.

He was afraid that something might happen to Yuehua's body.

After all, she was born prematurely and had a difficult delivery.

The situation was so critical at the time. When the baby was born prematurely, I almost lost my life.

No matter who you are in this situation, you need to be extra careful and pay extra attention.

Two days ago, the fourth son and his wife said they wanted to invite a specialist doctor from the county hospital to come and check Yuehua's body. He thought they would just call an ordinary doctor, but he didn't expect that it would be the best obstetrician and gynecologist in the county hospital.

That's really great.

"Are you really okay?" Ran Xiasheng asked again.

Mi Yuehua said: "I have had a full body check-up, but the doctor said that I still need to go to the hospital for another full check-up after I finish my confinement. I didn't bring any instruments with me this time, I just did a manual check."

Ran Xiasheng nodded: "Of course, the most important thing for you after your confinement is to have a physical examination."

Ran Yingying was yawning. She never worried about her mother's health.

My mother's body is hers.

With her protecting her, what could possibly happen?

"Zhi Feng said that when the baby is one month old, she will hold a full-month banquet for the baby and set up several tables at the largest hotel in the county."

Ran Xiasheng said, "That's not necessary. Our parents can hold the full-month banquet themselves. As an aunt, what's the big deal for her to hold a full-month banquet for our daughter? It's not like my daughter is unloved."

Looking at Ran Xiasheng, who had a serious control over women, Mi Yuehua smiled.

For her, it was the best thing that her husband loved their daughter so much.

After giving birth to her daughter, she was worried whether her husband would love her.

Now she can rest assured.

My husband is different from the people in my hometown. He doesn’t have any idea of ​​favoring boys over girls.

Instead, she is a slave girl.

Mi Yuehua said: "That's what I told her too. We will hold a full-moon party."

Ran Xiasheng nodded, his expression softened a lot.

"Zhi Feng said that she would find the venue. She knows a lot of people in the county, including many chefs. She will be able to hold a grand full-moon banquet when the time comes."

Ran Xiasheng said, "Aren't there only those venues? There are only a few hotels in the county, all of which are state-owned. Although I don't know any big connections in the county, it's not like I don't know anyone. I do know some big shots, so I'm afraid I won't be able to host a full-moon banquet well."

When Mi Yuehua saw it, she was immediately happy.

"Why, you don't want the fourth brother and his wife to help?"

Ran Xiasheng said, "That's not the case. As uncles and aunts, they should help their niece with her full-month celebration. That's their duty."

"Then why don't you ask the fourth brother and his wife to help?"

Ran Xiasheng said, "I didn't stop them from helping. I just..." He paused, "We have to be the protagonists. Yingying is our precious daughter. How can we let others help with something as important as the full moon banquet?"

Mi Yuehua finally understood that the slave girl was jealous.

"So, you still don't want them to help?" Mi Yuehua asked him deliberately.

Ran Xiasheng snorted and said nothing.

Ran Yingying, however, was overjoyed when she heard this.

Dad is so cute when he gets jealous.

She stretched out her little paws and gently touched her father's big chest to comfort him.

Ran Xiasheng felt relieved immediately.

It is his daughter who cares about him the most.

Compared with the joy and comfort of the Ran family, the Zhai family was like on the eve of a storm.

Full of depression.

Zhai Jianguo and Zhai Hong have already returned from the town.

At this moment, Zhai Hong sat on his small bed, with his head down, not saying a word.

Dad hasn't spoken since he went to see Uncle Soldier.

I held him all the way.

But he was sensitive enough to feel that his father's arms were trembling as he held him.

He doesn't understand.

But he could imagine that it must be related to A Niang.

He huddled up, buried his head in his knees, but said nothing.

Zhai Jianguo began to cook and boil medicine in the stove.

There was no food at home, and there was no place to buy food in the town except the supply and marketing cooperative.

He bought some rice and flour for cooking and decided to go to the captain's house later to buy some food.

There is always food and drink in the home.

He couldn't imagine how his mother and children would live when he was away.

There is no food in the house, not even a grain. How can we live?

Seeing the wild mushrooms and vegetables in the basket in the corner, he began to understand.

In his mind was his mother's sobbing voice: "Jianguo, you are finally back. Do you know how our grandparents have been spending the past year?"

——"Mother, thank you for your hard work."

——Grandma Zhai shook her head, "It's not hard for me, it's hard for Ah Hong."

——"I was in poor health and was always sick. Ah Hong was only four years old. Other four-year-old children were still playing coquettishly in their mother's arms, but Ah Hong had to bear the family's livelihood. When there was no rice or food at home, he ran to the mountains to pick wild fruits and vegetables. Once, he fell from a tree..."

At that time, Grandma Zhai cried so hard that she couldn't speak.

Zhai Jianguo felt deeply guilty.

If he hadn't gone out to serve in the army, if he hadn't been selected into the special operations team, how could his son and mother have lived such a hard life?

It was precisely because he had not been home for three years and because of the confidentiality of the special operations team that his comrades who had returned from visiting their families mistakenly believed that he had died and brought back false news. How could his family have become like this?

Are the comrades who brought false news wrong?

You're right, people really didn't know anything about him, and they brought false news with a sense of guilt.

Was it wrong for him to join the army?

Is it wrong to join the special operations team?

That’s right, to defend our country, on the battlefield, every moment counts like a blink of an eye.

But he felt sorry for his son and his mother.

The four-year-old son had to bear the responsibility of supporting the family.

A four-year-old child, who was not even as tall as his waist, had to go up the mountains and into the water to get food for his mother.

At this time, the person he hated the most was his wife Hongyan.

No matter how difficult it was, even if she couldn't wait for him to come back.

But she took away all the money in the family. Even though he was not dead and often wrote to his family, she said nothing and did not explain.

Except for the period when his freedom was restricted, he was unable to send a letter. Later, after the closed management and training were lifted, he began to write letters home every month.

Before joining the task force, he had reported to the group and asked them to send all his allowance to his home.

The group did as they were told, and even though he was under closed management, he still transferred a sum of money from the group's finance department to his wife.

Even though he didn't write back during that time, the money was still transferred every month.

Why couldn't she hold on?

Zhai Jianguo is a grown man, but at this moment his eyes were wet.

He was not sad about his wife's leaving. Everyone has their own choices, and he did not blame her for leaving him.

He was sad because his wife left him and took away all the money, abandoning his son, and even didn't tell his mother and son that he was still alive.

He didn't understand why she did that.

He wanted to find her and ask her everything.

But he couldn't find her for the time being.

He has asked the county armed forces department to find someone for him.

"Dad." The little guy came to his side without knowing when.

Zhai Jianguo stopped kneading the dough and wanted to hug him, but when he saw the flour on his hands, he stopped again, "Ah Hong, you play for a while. Dad is kneading the dough. We can eat soon."

Zhai Hong said, "Father, I'll light a fire for you."

Zhai Jianguo blurted out: "Can you make a fire?"

"Dad, I can." Zhai Hong sat down at the stove.

After my mother left, he was the one who took care of everything at home.

He knows how to make fire, cook, and wash clothes.

Just as the little boy sat down at the stove and was about to move the firewood out of the stove, he suddenly remembered something and stood up again.

Zhai Jianguo saw his son running out in a hurry, running very fast, his short body jumping from side to side.

Just as I was wondering, after a while, I saw the little kid running back. He had taken off the clothes he was wearing and put on a torn cotton jacket made from the worn-out adult clothes he was wearing before.

New clothes can't get dirty.

After changing into old clothes, Zhai Hong finally felt relieved. He ran to the stove and started a fire.

The little bun was very skilled at making a fire, and it was obvious that he often worked at home.

Zhai Jianguo's nose felt sore. His son...

What kind of life is it at home?

Be sure to take it back!

Even if I can't join the army, I will take my mother and son back to the southwest.

If the troops cannot live here, they can live in the nearest county.

Then...

Thinking of Ran Xiasheng, Zhai Jianguo thought: When the time comes, I will have to ask my sister-in-law to take care of me.

Although I feel a little guilty, there is no other way.

"Dad, will Mom come back?" Zhai Hong asked in a low voice.

Zhai Jianguo said: "Your mother is nowhere to be found now. I have asked the armed forces to look for her. Ah Hong, you don't have a mother, but you still have a father and a grandmother. We are all your closest relatives."

Zhai Hong lowered his head, quietly lighting a fire and adding firewood.

Seeing his son's pitiful appearance, Zhai Jianguo felt sad.

My son is only four years old, and that is when he needs his mother's love.

But his wife had left home a year ago.

She abandoned her son.

Her son didn't seem to be that important in her heart.

He knew his son would be very sad, but he still had to tell him that his mother would not come back.

Even if he comes back, he won't want it.

What's the use of a wife who can abandon her husband and children coming back?

Will you give her another chance to abandon them in the future?

Let her hurt her son's heart again?

How can my son's little heart bear being abandoned again and again?

"Son, do you blame your father?"

Zhai Hong said: "No blame."

"You really don't blame me? Or do you actually have some resentment in your heart? Dad hasn't come back to see you for three years, and now he wants you to forget your mom."

Zhai Hong said: "My mother said that my father is a great hero. My father is right. My father did not come back to see me, so something must have happened."

It was rare that he spoke a long string of words without pausing.

Zhai Hong raised his head, his eyes sparkling, "Mother doesn't want Hong anymore, I know everything. Grandma was afraid that I would be sad, so she didn't dare to tell me, but I know everything."

Zhai Jianguo never expected that his wife had once called him a great hero in front of their son.

He has a good relationship with his wife; they used to be classmates.

Later he went to the army, and when he came back, she pursued him, and then he married her.

When he was selected for the special operations team, he hesitated.

But when it comes to defending the country, he believes his wife will understand him.

Unexpectedly, he still didn't understand her thoroughly.

She still abandoned her son and ran away.

Now I don’t know where I’ve gone to, and I don’t even know if I’m in the county or not.

A Bing said that someone had seen her in the county, walking with a man who was more than ten years older than her.

That was the only time, and no one saw her again.

He later went to the Armed Forces to inquire about it. When the money was sent, it first arrived at the Armed Forces, and then the family was notified to collect it.

Last month, I saw her go there to pick it up.

I haven't seen it this month.

Zhai Jianguo remained silent.

Before he left, he wrote a letter home, saying he was coming back.

It was originally a happy thing. I wrote the letter back to let my family members be mentally prepared in advance.

But unexpectedly, the letter was not sent to the village and was taken away by his wife.

“Father…”

Zhai Jianguo said, "Ah Hong, when Dad comes back this time, he will take you with him. We won't live in the village anymore."

"Is grandma leaving?" The first person Zhai Hong was concerned about was grandma.

Zhai Jianguo said, "Let's go, grandma should go too."

"Grandma is sick, take medicine."

Zhai Jianguo said: "We will go to the county hospital first to see the old lady. My son is really filial. He knows that the old lady is in poor health and needs medical treatment."

Zhai Hong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but then lowered his head and didn't ask.

"You will also meet a little sister by then. She is so cute and you will like her."

"Sister?" Zhai Hong asked.

Zhai Jianguo said: "She is closer than my own sister."

The author has something to say: Today's update is late. The author has a cold and his throat hurts like fire. I originally didn't want to update this chapter at 3 o'clock, but thinking of the little angels waiting, I still got up and wrote.

Here, I will explain the situation of Zhai Dad. Zhai Dad served in the army six years ago. At first, he was able to go home, get married and have children. Later, he was selected to join the special operations team. Because of the high confidentiality, he did not go home for three years. Then a comrade from the same village thought he had died. When he went home to visit his family, he spread the news. Then everyone in the village thought he had died.

Later, when he was released from lockdown and was able to write to his family, Zhai Niang had already changed her mind. But she still accepted the money and the letter, but did not tell her family.

It was by chance that Zhai Hong knew about the letter from a year ago.

Ran Yingying: Don’t cry, brother, Yingying will protect you.
