Ran Yingying was extremely excited.
It’s my brother!
My childhood brother!
Although two lifetimes had passed, and the lifetime in the immortal world was thousands of years ago, she still remembered her brother's appearance clearly.
How could she forget her brother who was awkward and arrogant when he was little?
Isn’t the little boy held by Zhai’s father her brother?
Ran Yingying was so excited that Ran Xiasheng almost couldn't hold her.
Xia Sheng was curious why his daughter was so excited?
She smiled so much that her eyes curved into moons.
Following his gaze, he saw Zhai Jianguo walking in from the door. As for the small bun in his hand, he automatically ignored it.
"Battalion Commander!" Zhai Jianguo shouted.
Ran Xiasheng hit Zhai Jianguo on the shoulder, "Good boy, why are you here?"
Shouldn't he be at home? Why is he here suddenly?
Ran Xia was curious.
"I called Old Yang yesterday, and he told me that Yingying was having her full-month celebration today, so I took my son over." Zhai Jianguo lowered his head and looked at Zhai Hong, "Son, this is your Uncle Ran, call him Uncle Ran."
Zhai Hong's dark eyes kept turning to Ran Xiasheng and the baby in his arms. When he heard Zhai Jianguo urging him, he called out "Uncle Ran" obediently.
Ran Xiasheng then noticed the little boy next to Zhai Jianguo. The little guy had a curious look on his face, his little face was tense and there was no smile on his lips.
This little kid's personality seems to be somewhat similar to Zhai Jianguo.
He still remembered the first time he met Zhai Jianguo. This guy was just like this kid, pursing his lips and not saying a word.
There was obvious curiosity in his eyes, and he was eager to try, but he just kept silent.
"Okay, okay, you're so good." Ran Xiasheng couldn't help but touch Zhai Hong's head, "There are a lot of delicious food here, you can go over there and get some food."
The Ambassador Hotel had a lot of delicious food on display.
There were small cookies and small cakes, and in the center, a very large cake.
All these arrangements were made by our fourth aunt, Cen Zhifeng.
It has a bit of a buffet feel, which is very new in Weian County.
But it was also a Chinese-style banquet, because the hotel set up six banquet tables so that everyone could get together to prepare for lunch.
Now it's just preparation before dinner.
Zhai Hong naturally saw all of this.
Although he didn't roll his eyes around or look around, he knew that he couldn't run around in this situation.
When he came here, his father had already told him.
He kept it all in mind.
At this time the master spoke, but he still did not move.
Doesn't he want to eat?
Want to eat.
He seldom had such delicious food at home, and he was reluctant to eat even a piece of candy immediately.
Last time, the neighbor granny gave him some candy, but he couldn't bear to eat it and gave it to the granny instead.
Later, his father came back and took him to buy a lot of cookies and candies, but he still couldn't bear to eat them all at once.
However, just because he wants to eat doesn't mean he can take food from anywhere without restraint.
He did not move, but stood obediently beside Zhai Jianguo without even blinking.
Seeing his well-behaved appearance, Ran Xiasheng's impression of the child doubled.
Originally, Ran Xiasheng wanted to talk to Zhai Jianguo and ask about his family matters.
But when he saw that the little one was holding onto Zhai Jianguo's hand tightly, Ran Xiasheng said, "Jianguo, take the child over there first and have something to eat. I'll find you later."
Seeing his son holding his hand tightly, Zhai Jianguo felt helpless.
Since he came home, his son has been holding his hand and refusing to let go.
I was afraid that he would abandon him and run away.
The child was badly hurt by his mother and his mind is extremely fragile and sensitive.
This scene made Ran Yingying feel indescribable pain.
Only she knew how fragile her brother was beneath his seemingly cold appearance.
Ran Yingying twisted and turned in Ran Xiasheng's arms.
At first, Ran Xiasheng didn't notice anything wrong with his daughter, but later he almost couldn't hold her.
Only then did I realize that something was wrong with my daughter.
Ran Xiasheng was anxious, thinking something had happened to his daughter.
Ran Yingying pointed in the direction of Zhai Hong and exclaimed "Ahh" twice.
Ran Xiasheng didn't understand, thinking she wanted to go back to his wife, so he coaxed her: "Baby, do you want to go back to your mother? Daddy will hold you for a while, and then take you back, okay?"
Ran Yingying stared and said, I want to go see my brother.
Ran Xiasheng coaxed: "Baby, it will be fine soon. You will return to your mother's arms soon."
But I was wondering in my heart: Does the baby not like me holding him?
Ran Yingying: Dad, I don’t dislike you, I just want to go there to see my brother.
Ran Xiasheng said, "Just for a while, stay with dad for a while."
Ran Yingying was helpless and Baobao felt sad.
Some look depressed.
Why can't Dad understand how excited I am when I finally see my brother after not having seen him for two lifetimes?
Over there, Zhai Jianguo brought his son to Mi Yuehua and greeted her with his son first.
"Jianguo is here?" Mi Yuehua was surprised to see Zhai Jianguo coming.
Mi Yuehua had met Zhai Jianguo when there was a big commotion at the old house. It was he and another soldier who were guarding the door of the second room, which prevented Old Lady Ran from breaking in again.
She naturally recognized Zhai Jianguo.
I saw him holding a child in his arms. The child was wearing a green military uniform and a military cap. He looked very cute.
"Is this your son?" Mi Yuehua was indescribably fond of the child when she saw him.
Zhai Jianguo said, "Yes, sister-in-law, this is my son. Ah Hong, come and call me aunt."
Zhai Hong called out "Auntie" obediently.
Mi Yuehua liked children. She only had Yingying as her only child in all these years. When she saw Zhai Hong, she felt pity for him.
"Come, auntie will take you to eat something delicious." Mi Yuehua went over and took Zhai Hong's hand.
However, Zhai Hong kept holding Zhai Jianguo's hand and refused to let go.
Mi Yuehua's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, feeling a little embarrassed.
The child just looked at her but didn't put his hand into hers obediently.
Zhai Jianguo said, "Ah Hong, this is Aunt Mi whom I told you about. This is the little sister in their family, the one that uncle was holding just now. I told you about this when I came here. Have you forgotten?"
However, Zhai Hong still held his hand and refused to let go.
Seeing him like that, Zhai Jianguo was also helpless.
The child was hurt so deeply by his mother that he was afraid that he would suddenly leave him one day.
She just kept holding his hand tightly and refused to let go, no matter who came over to hold her hand, she would not let go.
Naturally, this scene was seen by Ran Yingying.
She felt a pang of pain in her heart.
I still remember that it was like this in my previous life.
This is how he looked at Dad warily when Dad went to Zhaijia Village to visit my brother that day.
That day when Dad brought my brother home and handed him over to Mom, he was still so vigilant.
Beneath my brother's strong appearance, he has a fragile heart.
There is a heart that longs for care.
Others didn't know how much he depended on Zhai's father at that time, but she knew everything.
Brother, don't be afraid. My father and mother are good people. They won't hurt you. They will only love and care for you. Please don't have thorns all over your body, okay?
The little guy has been holding on to his father's hand and refused to let go. Mi Yuehua did not see much anger in her eyes, but rather more care.
Such a young child, only about four or five years old, how badly must the injury have occurred to have such a reaction?
She had heard about the Zhai family's affairs from Xia Sheng a long time ago.
Although she didn't know what the Zhai family's situation was, she knew it was definitely not a good thing.
Seeing this child now greatly aroused Mi Yuehua's maternal love.
"Come, auntie will take you to eat delicious food, don't be afraid, auntie will not hurt you, auntie is also a mother, and has a little sister who is a few years younger than you." Mi Yuehua squatted down, coaxing him while stroking his little head.
There was a furry touch under my palm, and in front of me was a look of vigilance in the child's eyes beneath his seemingly calm expression.
"Sister-in-law, please sit for a while. I'll take him there first." Zhai Jianguo was also helpless.
My son has been very clingy to him these days.
Wherever he went, his son followed him like a little tail.
I was afraid that he would leave and never come back.
Took my son to the food area and got him some cakes and cookies.
However, Zhai Hong did not stuff it into his mouth immediately. Instead, he wrapped it in a piece of clean paper and put it in his small pocket.
"Son, what are you doing?"
Zhai Hong said, "Give the biscuits to grandma."
He couldn't bear to eat it.
Grandma is in the hotel and hasn't had a bite of food yet.
Originally, grandma was supposed to come with them to the hotel to have a delicious meal today, but she refused to come.
The old lady said that he was old and didn't want to cause trouble to others, so he just stayed in the hotel quietly.
There were so many delicious foods, he wanted to save some for grandma.
Even grandma has never eaten so many delicious things.
"Son, just eat these by yourself, don't put them in your pocket. Daddy will prepare and buy things for grandma, understand? This is the rule, you can't just take Jiangxi and put it in your pocket, it's wrong."
Zhai Hong seemed to understand, but what his father said was completely right and he should listen to him.
He obediently took out the candies and biscuits that he had put in his pocket.
"Jianguo, if the child likes to eat, just let him take it. Everything on the table is free for everyone to eat." Mi Yuehua came over at some point, squatted down, and put the biscuits back into his pocket. "If Ah Hong likes to eat, just put more."
Zhai Hong said, "Aunt, can I pack some more for grandma?"
When Mi Yuehua heard that he was packing these things to take back to his grandmother, she felt that he was filial and lovable. "Sure, if you like them, your aunt will pack a big bag for you and let your father take them back."
Zhai Hong's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it, he looked at Zhai Jianguo beside him, silently asking for his father's opinion.
Zhai Jianguo couldn't bear to see his son's pitiful look and nodded vigorously.
Zhai Hong was delighted and happily took a few more biscuits.
But I only took two more pieces, not much more.
"Why doesn't Hong take more?" Mi Yuehua asked curiously.
Zhai Hong thought for a moment and said, "That's enough. It's not good to take more."
Although he is still young, he knows that greed is not good and that one should know when to stop.
Although no one taught him, he just knew that he shouldn't take too much just because he was too aggressive.
Everything has a limit.
Mi Yuehua couldn't help feeling sad when she saw this.
This child is so pitiful.
…
Finally, with Ran Lao's unremitting efforts, Ran Xiasheng finally brought her back into Mi Yuehua's arms.
"What's wrong with Yingying?" Mi Yuehua was curious when she saw that the little guy looked unhappy.
Doesn't my daughter like to be with her father the most? Every time I carry her out, she is the happiest.
What happened today?
Why do you look like you're about to cry?
This is really rare.
Mi Yuehua hurriedly brought the child over.
As soon as she was in Mi Yuehua's arms, Ran Yingying's stretched little face finally smiled.
Zhai Hong looked curiously at the little sister in Mi Yuehua's arms.
I heard from my dad that the little sister is very cute.
But after looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't find anything cute about it.
He is just a tiny kid and he cries a lot.
She looked so ugly with her face wrinkled as if she was about to cry just now.
Brother! Ran Yingying suddenly smiled at Zhai Hong.
This smile, like the sun peeking out from the clouds, instantly illuminated Zhai Hong's heart.
He suddenly felt that the little sister was not ugly.
On the contrary, it’s very beautiful!
What a sweet smile.
He had also seen many people of the same age as his sister in the village, both boys and girls, none of them were pretty or cute.
But my sister is different.
The little bun slowly stretched out his little paw and held his sister's hand.
Ran Yingying was so happy. Did her brother recognize her?
Then I thought, how could my brother know her at this time?
My brother knew her in his previous life, but he doesn’t know her in this life.
However, that doesn't stop my brother from liking her.
Look, my brother is smiling.
A smile appeared on the serious little boy's face.
Although the smile was very shallow, very shallow.
But enough.
Ran Yingying felt that as long as her brother smiled, that was enough.
In his previous life, my brother rarely smiled and always had a stern face.
Although he is not very old, he always looks very serious.
But this time, it's different.
My brother is not an orphan, and his mood is not as bad as in his previous life.
He wasn't as alert to everyone as he was in his previous life.
The thorns on his body stand upright to protect his inner fragility.
While the two little paws were holding on, the jinli aura on Ran Yingying's body slowly flowed towards Zhai Hong.
Zhai Honghun shuddered, not knowing if it was an illusion, but he felt that shaking hands with his sister felt very good.
He likes playing with his sister more.
…
Seeing that his daughter had no attachment to him at all, Ran Xiasheng felt as if he was stabbed in the heart and was heartbroken.
Sad as it was, Ran Xiasheng was only sad for a short while, and then he put his arm around Zhai Jianguo's shoulders and said, "Jianguo, tell me about the situation at home."
Zhai Jianguo glanced at his son, then at the people walking around, and said, "Captain, let's go to the balcony over there and talk."
There are some things that cannot be known to others.
There are some things that my son should never know.
My son is already sensitive and fragile enough. If I let him know something, he would probably be even more sad.
It’s better not to keep it secret.
Wait until the child grows up and then tell him the truth. Maybe he will be able to accept it.
But not now.
My son is only four years old. No matter how mature he is, what can he do?
No matter how mature a child is, he is still only a four or five-year-old.
What could he understand?
These past few days, the child has been sticking to him and won't let him leave. It can be seen that the child longs for fatherly and motherly love.
The departure of my wife caused great harm to my children.
Even if the child didn't say it, he could guess it.
The child is sensible and there are many things he won’t say out loud, but as a father, how could he not know about them?
I still remember that the day he returned, my mother had a talk with him.
The person that A-niang talked to him the most was A-hong.
Occasionally I would talk about my wife.
A Niang said, "When Hong Yan left, A Hong was still sitting at the door waiting for her to come back. I have never seen A Hong so persistent. He brought a small stool and sat at the door looking out. He told me that A Niang would come back. A Niang told him that she was going to the town to buy him some candy and would come back after buying it."
"He was waiting at the door all the time. No matter how I coaxed him, he was unwilling to go back to sleep. Later, he couldn't stand it anymore and dozed off on a small stool. I was so sad to see him. Later, day after day, Hongyan never came back. He kept telling me that his mother would come back. She had promised him that she would definitely come back. Later, a year passed and Hongyan still didn't come back. He still told me that his mother didn't abandon him. Every time I didn't dare to tell him the truth. His mother didn't want him anymore. I really didn't dare to say it because I was afraid that the child would cry."
At that time, when A Niang was talking to him, she also cried.
He knew that his mother was also feeling bad.
Half of the reason why he married Hongyan was because his mother told him to start a family soon. It is true that men should have ambitions, but it is also necessary to start a family and build a career.
He and Hongyan were classmates from elementary school to junior high school.
He always knew that Hongyan liked him, and especially after he joined the army, Hongyan liked him even more.
Hongyan pursued him and told him that she admired him very much.
He is a hero, and she worships heroes.
He also liked Hongyan, but at that time he thought that he was on the battlefield and an accident could happen at any time, so he did not dare to delay her and never agreed to marry her.
It was not until his mother persuaded him that he agreed.
After the wedding that day, he went back to the battlefield. Hongyan held his hand and said, "Jianguo, I will wait for you, and always wait for you to come back. You must live well for me and come back to see me, okay?"
He agreed.
He was on the battlefield, no matter how dangerous it was, he cherished his life. He didn't live just for himself, he had a wife and mother waiting for him at home, he couldn't leave them on the battlefield.
Later he came back.
Even after joining the special operations team, he still came back alive.
However, Hongyan couldn't hold on any longer.
He ran away secretly.
Zhai Jianguo looked at his son again and was finally relieved to see that his son was playing with Ran Yingying.
It would be better if there were other things to distract your son.
He could also imagine that when they arrived in the southwest, his son would definitely be able to play with the niece of the Ran family, and he would not be lonely.
he……
On the southwest battlefield, we can feel more at ease and have fewer worries.
Ran Xiasheng knew what he was worried about. "Don't worry, Yuehua will watch over him. Let's go there and talk. Tell me about the situation at home. What's going on?"
Ran Xiasheng really wants to know what happened to the Zhai family?
Why did Zhai Jianguo call the Armed Forces Department shortly after he returned and ask Lao Yang to help him inquire about matters related to accompanying the troops?
He knew clearly that Zhai Jianguo did not have the conditions to accompany the army, but he still insisted on asking this question, which meant that something must have happened at home.
Otherwise, given Jianguo's character, he would definitely not be so anxious to take the child with him.
Today, from the fact that the child tightly held Jianguo's hand, it can be seen that the child is particularly sensitive and is particularly afraid that Jianguo will leave him.
He saw Jianguo coming with his children, but did not see Jianguo's wife. There must be a reason.
Ran Xiasheng is not stupid. For many things, even if others don't tell him, he can roughly guess the truth by observing.
Even if I can't guess the truth, I'm almost close to it.
The two of them turned a corner and went out of the small door over there.
The reception hall of the Ambassador Hotel has two doors, one leading to a corridor and the other to a balcony.
The balcony was also made to look like a living room, with a coffee table, chairs, fruits and vegetables.
This is specially for guests to rest.
It was that balcony that Ran Xiasheng took Zhai Jianguo to.
There was no one else on the balcony, which was a perfect place for them to talk.
Some words are not good even if they are heard by other guests present.
Especially when it comes to family matters.
…
Over there, Zhai Hong was hooking Ran Yingying's little finger and was about to talk to his father, when he suddenly realized that his father was missing.
Zhai Hong panicked.
Dad is missing!
He was here just now, and in the blink of an eye, dad was gone!
Zhai Hong was very anxious.
The little boy's face was full of panic.
Those originally bright eyes were now filled with moisture.
He looked and searched in panic.
There are many people on the field, but none of them is my father.
He no longer played with Ran Yingying. He had no mood to play. He just wanted to find his father.
Her hand fell empty, Ran Yingying exclaimed "Huh", and saw her brother running away.
My brother's little body was turning around, as if he was looking for something.
Ran Yingying was dumbfounded.
Brother, why are you running?
Brother, are you looking for Mr. Zhai?
Mr. Zhai didn't leave. He was talking to my dad.
On the balcony, on the balcony!
Ran Yingying shouted, but the sound that came out was: "Ah ...
Mi Yuehua also discovered something was wrong with the two kids.
In the blink of an eye, Zhai Hong ran away.
The father gave the child to her. If she lost the child, it would be a serious sin.
Mi Yuehua quickly followed.
Zhai Hong was looking for his father when he heard someone calling him, "Ah Hong!"
Zhai Hong looked over and saw that it was the little sister's mother.
"What are you looking for?"
Zhai Hong said: "My father."
Mi Yuehua said, "Your father just has something to discuss with your uncle Ran, he will not leave. You stay here with your aunt, your father will be back soon."
Zhai Hong shook his head.
Mi Yuehua sighed.
"Aren't you having fun with your sister?"
Zhai Hong pursed his lips but said nothing.
It took a long time before he lowered his head.
"Auntie will take you to find your father, okay?" Mi Yuehua also knew that this child was too sensitive.
She didn't say anything else, but took his hand and walked towards the balcony.
She saw her husband talking to Jianguo on the balcony, but the child didn't see it and thought his father didn't want him anymore.
How much trauma did this child suffer in the past to be so sensitive?
…
At this time, Ran Xiasheng was talking to Zhai Jianguo when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Xiasheng, Jianguo!"
Ran Xiasheng turned around and saw Mi Yuehua coming with the child.
"Ahhong, he just missed his father." Mi Yuehua explained.
Ran Xiasheng was stunned.
Zhai Jianguo understood why his son came to him.
I felt helpless. I didn't want my son to hear it, but he came to me anyway.
Fortunately, some things have been discussed and there is no need to hide anything from my son.
"Dad." Zhai Hong's eyes were red.
Zhai Jianguo waved at him and he walked over happily.
"Dad is always here and will never leave you. What are you afraid of?" Zhai Jianguo asked in a low voice.
Zhai Hong lowered his head but said nothing.
Just now he really thought that his father was gone, just like his mother, who no longer wanted him.
He didn't feel relieved until he saw his father was there.
Dad didn't leave.
Mi Yuehua saw the little guy nestling in Jianguo's arms and being very well behaved, and she sighed in her heart.
"Ah Hong is still young, and he longs for the love of his parents. He is very panicked and confused when you are not around. It is normal. Don't blame him."
Zhai Jianguo said, "Then Ah Hong, you just stay here with your father and be quiet, okay?"
Zhai Hong nodded vigorously.
"Then you guys chat, I'll go entertain the guests."
Ran Xiasheng said, "Okay, you go over there and entertain the guests. Jianguo and I have something to discuss. I'll be right back."
Mi Yuehua was about to leave, holding the child.
However, Ran Yingying refused.
She protested.
I won't leave, I want to follow my dad!
She opened her arms towards Ran Xiasheng and made a hugging gesture.
All of a sudden, it was Mi Yuehua and Ran Xiasheng, the new parents, who didn't understand.
Just now when Ran Xiasheng held his daughter, she cried and wanted to go back to Mi Yuehua.
It wasn't long before it was Ran Xiasheng's turn to hold her.
