It was a long time later that Ran Yingying learned that Zhai's father and mother had divorced.
She was a little curious about how Zhai's mother agreed to divorce Zhai's father. After all, Zhai's father is no longer the same as before. He now holds a higher position and has a wider network of contacts. Given Zhai's mother's personality, she would probably cling to Zhai's father and not let go.
But unexpectedly, Mother Zhai actually gave up.
However, Zhai Hong did not comment on this. Ran Yingying knew that he was actually a little upset. After all, this was his biological mother.
But no matter how painful it is, what can we do?
That's what happened.
At that time, Ran Yingying asked him, "Brother, do you hate your mother?"
This question made Zhai Hong silent for a while. Just when Ran Yingying thought he would not answer, he took a deep breath and said, "My mother is dead."
Ran Yingying was stunned for a moment, but soon understood.
In my brother's heart, the mother who loved him is dead. Now the mother is just a woman who looks like her.
Ran Yingying suddenly felt pain in her heart.
She quietly reached out and held Zhai Hong's hand, "Brother, you still have me, and you still have Father Zhai, and you still have Grandma, and you still have my parents."
Zhai Hong smiled and said, "I'm not sad."
The saddest thing has passed. His parents' divorce was something he had long expected.
He had been waiting for this day, but it had been delayed for ten years.
I was worried before, but now that I know the result, I feel relieved.
Since we already know the result, why should we be sad?
He was no longer waiting for his mother's love like he was when he was a child. At this moment, he didn't want his father to get hurt. He had been gone for ten years, so he could leave. It made no difference whether he had her or not.
"Are you really not sad?" Ran Yingying was still a little worried and reached out to hold his hand.
Zhai Hong shook his head: "I'm not sad. I've already passed that age."
Ran Yingying was finally happy. Knowing that Zhai Hong was not sad, she started talking to him happily and making him laugh as she did before.
Zhai Hong just lowered his head and looked at her smiling face. His sister's smile was so brilliant. Looking at her smile, he felt extremely happy.
Just like sunshine, it shone into his heart.
He also held Ran Yingying's hand tightly, very tightly, and refused to let go for a moment.
…
They only found out the whole truth when they returned home after the school holidays.
Hongyan agreed to the divorce because of Zhai Jianguo's words: "You have to think about Ah Hong. You have already let him down ten years ago. Do you want to hurt him again?"
These words almost broke down her defenses.
Hongyan is not afraid of going to jail, nor does she know how to pay back the money. The barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
She has nothing now, and her life will not be easy after the divorce. She will be penniless, and she has not worked for ten years. She has long forgotten how to work. How will she live?
She thought that as long as she kept pestering Zhai Jianguo, she would not divorce him even if he scolded her.
But Zhai Jianguo's words "you have to think about Ah Hong" completely broke her down.
Even if she went barefoot again, she couldn't leave any bad impression on her son.
She had made a mistake once and could not make it again. She could not spend her old age alone.
For this reason, she let Zhai Jianguo go, but still had no money.
She spent all the money she had, not a penny left.
The IOU was written, but it is unclear whether it will be of any use.
Zhai Jianguo certainly couldn't really put her in jail. She was Zhai Hong's mother, and even if she did something wrong, she was still the child's mother. If he really did that, his son would probably hate him for the rest of his life.
Moreover, they have been married for so many years, and a night of love is worth a hundred days of grace, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
…
After knowing the reason, Ran Yingying and Zhai Hong were silent for a while.
At this time, Zhai Hong felt somewhat emotional.
He thought his mother would never let go, but he didn't expect that she let go for him.
He had mixed feelings and all sorts of thoughts in his mind.
At this time, the Cheetah Hunting Team was filled with joy because the new year had arrived.
This is Ran Yingying's seventh year at Cheetah Hunt.
She has gotten used to this place and has long regarded it as her home.
Looking at the warriors pasting couplets and hanging lanterns there, she was in a very good mood.
This is the kind of life she longs for, an ordinary life.
While eating the reunion dinner, Ran Yingying smiled so hard that her eyes were curved.
"Dad, I heard you're getting a promotion, is that right?"
Ran Xiasheng asked, "Where did you hear that?"
Ran Yingying said, "Don't worry about where I heard it from, right, Dad?"
"Yes, the notice has come down. I will take office after the new year. Then we will move out of here." Ran Xiasheng did not hide it.
"Moving?" Ran Yingying blinked. "Where are we going to move to then?"
"The Cheetah's organization has changed from a regiment to a division. This place will be the seat of the regiment, and the division headquarters will be moved to the city."
Ran Yingying lowered her head and began to think.
The Cheetah is organized as a regiment, which was known to my father when he first took office. Now that the regiment has been changed to a division, it is necessary to expand two more regiments. The Cheetah's current location naturally becomes a regiment, and the other two regiments must be located in another place.
She used to think that her father had been the head of the group for seven years without any promotion, and she thought that he would stay in this position forever. Now she thought that the superiors must have thought of this long ago. If the group was to be expanded, she would naturally feel uneasy about letting someone else lead it. How could she feel more assured about the original staff?
The Cheetahs are a special operations team. Ordinary people really cannot take on this position. Only my dad can do it, so promotion is naturally a matter of time.
"Will Mr. Zhai and the others go together?" Ran Yingying couldn't help but ask.
Ran Xiasheng shook his head: "Your father Zhai will serve as the deputy head of the first group. They will stay here and will not go with us."
Ran Yingying was a little disappointed. She thought her brother would go with them, but she didn't expect that Zhai's father would stay with them.
Then I thought again, it's a good thing that Zhai's father got promoted. It's not easy for a battalion commander to be promoted to deputy regiment commander. Zhai's father's promotion is closely related to his excellence.
She was also happy for Zhai's father. After enduring for so many years, he finally made it.
Then I thought of my brother. Anyway, they were in the same school, and it was a closed school, so they were not separated.
Ran Yingying felt relieved again.
We are not really separated. If we are to be separated, it will be when my brother is admitted to university. That’s when we will be truly separated.
By the way, my brother is already in his second year of high school and will soon enter his third year. In another year and a half, he will take the college entrance examination and go to university.
Although she still doesn't know where her brother will be admitted, she has already decided that she will go wherever her brother goes.
If her brother decides to apply to a military academy, she will also decide to apply there. If her brother goes to a local university, she will go too.
With her around, no one can bully my brother.
Ran Yingying couldn't wait to tell Zhai Hong about this. Zhai Hong was silent for a while and nodded: "I knew about this a long time ago."
"Brother knew it a long time ago?" Ran Yingying blinked. She thought that what she knew was inside information, but she didn't expect that her brother knew it earlier than her?
Zhai Hong said: "Well, when I came back during the summer vacation, I heard my father mention it."
At that time, it was not confirmed, and my father was just guessing, saying that the Cheetah would be changed from a regiment to a division. At that time, he guessed that Ran's father would be promoted.
Mr. Ran is so talented, it is only a matter of time before he gets promoted, and he has this confidence in his mind.
But I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Come to think of it, the military district has probably already been preparing for it. Being able to let them know means that this matter has been confirmed.
"But then I will have to go to the city with Dad, and I won't be able to live with my brother." Ran Yingying's voice inevitably sounded a little lonely.
Zhai Hong smiled and said, "Silly sister, we are in the same school, are you afraid that we won't see each other?"
Besides, they have to separate eventually; they can't be together all their lives.
Looking at his sister's face, he felt that the thought was...uncomfortable.
I feel depressed.
But he soon forgot about it.
"But after the holiday, we won't be able to see each other often." Ran Yingying still felt not particularly satisfied.
Zhai Hong said: "I will come to find you when the time comes."
All good things must come to an end, and my sister will get married in the future.
Although there was a slight sadness in his heart, Zhai Hong did not show it.
"Let's not think about those things and just have a good New Year," Zhai Hong added.
Ran Yingying nodded, and felt happy again.
…
The New Year in the army is very lively.
It is a bustle that is not found anywhere else.
The soldiers can only relax from their intense training during the New Year.
They not only put up couplets, but also organized various activities, such as tug-of-war competitions, basketball competitions, relay races, etc.
The soldiers had a great time, and the two children, Ran Yingying and Zhai Hong, were also happy to watch.
In school, they also need intensive training like the soldiers. They are even busier than the soldiers because in addition to physical training, they also have cultural classes.
After all, academic subjects are the main focus in school, and physical training is to prepare for admission to military academies in the future.
But it's not any easier than for the warriors.
This is when they can really relax.
"Brother, come on! Brother, come on!" Ran Yingying was standing in the crowd, shouting to Zhai Hong from the tug-of-war team.
Originally, it was a competition among soldiers, but later it became a competition among children. There were many military children in the group, of all ages.
Ran Yingying actually wanted to participate, but there were not many girls, and the girls didn’t like this kind of activity. They liked activities like kicking shuttlecock, but Ran Yingying didn’t particularly like these.
But no one wanted to play tug-of-war with her. She wanted to rush to the boys' side and join the game, but they were afraid of hurting her, a delicate little girl, and refused to agree.
Later, she could only do the next best thing and shout for Zhai Hong.
When those girls saw Ran Yingying shouting over there, someone said, "She doesn't look like a girl at all. How can a girl like this kind of exercise?" She was all sweaty and muddy, so dirty.
"Hush, keep your voice down. If she hears you, she'll definitely scold you," said another girl.
"She looks pretty, but she's actually very wild. How come those boys were deceived by her appearance? Especially brother Zhai Hong, he only has her in his eyes. I can't understand it." The girl said jealously.
"What can you do if you don't understand? Who made her pretty? Who made her father the head of the group?"
The girl snorted and said nothing more.
