Ran Chunwang suddenly cried out to Ran Xiasheng, "Second brother, I am your brother, you can't just stand by and watch me die. If I get arrested, what will happen to my parents? You can't leave them at home without anyone to take care of them and take care of them in their old age, right?"
Ran Xiasheng looked at him but didn't say anything.
Ran Chunwang: "Second brother, I know you blame me in your heart, blaming me for not taking good care of your wife and children, but how can I take care of them? All I can do is to ask my wife to take care of my brother's wife. What else can I do?"
Mi Yuehua held Ran Xiasheng's hand tightly, and Ran Xiasheng comforted her.
Ran Chunwang shouted, "Second brother, you have to be reasonable. We can't be so disloyal. I'm your brother, your real brother." He started crying, "If I'm arrested, what will happen to mom and dad? You're serving in the army outside, and third brother is in the county. Someone has to take care of mom and dad, right?"
Everyone in the Ran family knows that the only person who can save Ran Chunwang now is Ran Xiasheng.
Minister Yang and Ran Xiasheng must have a very close relationship. As long as Ran Xiasheng pleads for mercy, the matter of desertion can naturally be exposed.
Besides, what kind of desertion is this? The Ran family is not the only one who has done such a thing.
Father Ran: "Xia Sheng, I beg you, I'm kneeling down to beg you, please let your brother go."
As he said this, he was about to kneel down.
Ran Xiasheng's heart skipped a beat. If he made Old Man Ran kneel down, he would have no chance of staying in the village. One could imagine how others would look at him.
At this time, the village party secretary pulled Old Man Ran to stop his behavior, and then called Ran Xiasheng aside.
At this time, only the village party secretary dared to speak a fair word. No matter who he was on the side of, perhaps Ran Xiasheng would listen to his advice.
The village party secretary said, "Xia Sheng, I know you are angry now, but Chunwang is your biological brother, and the two old people are your biological parents. If you let someone take Chunwang away today, no matter whether Chunwang deserves it or not, others will not think so. People in the village will think that you are hard-hearted and don't recognize your parents or your biological brothers. Your future will be over. - Don't refute me first, listen to me. I know what you want to say, you will tell me that you don't care. Uncle knows that you feel wronged, and what happened back then did wrong you, but now that things have come to this, it's over. Although your father and mother are partial, their fingers are different in length. Since you have decided to separate the family, don't think about these things."
Ran Xiasheng was silent.
"In other people's eyes, everyone is your parent. No matter how bad Chunwang is, he is still your brother. If you go too far, what will others think of you? If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Yuehua and the child, especially the child. When she grows up, how will she live with others pointing fingers at her and scolding her behind her back?"
Ran Xiasheng's attitude softened a little.
"Uncle, I didn't give that order." Ran Xiasheng finally spoke up. "Ran Chunwang was a deserter back then, and the armed forces have a file on her. Now Old Yang is planning to hold her accountable for desertion, and there's nothing I can do."
The village party secretary said, "I know it wasn't you who gave the order, but you have a way to get Minister Yang to take it back. Xia Sheng, I've watched you grow up, and I know you know how to act. Take my advice, and persuade Minister Yang to take back the order."
Ran Xiasheng looked towards the yard and saw Old Lady Ran still sitting in the front of the car crying, his wife Mi Yuehua looking at him nervously, and their daughter... who was rolling her big eyes curiously.
Ran Xiasheng was silent and sighed in his heart.
After talking to the village party secretary, Ran Xiasheng looked very unhappy.
At this time, there were the cries of Old Mrs. Ran and the pleadings of Old Man Ran.
There is even Ran Chunwang's voice.
The scene was in complete chaos.
When the village party secretary looked over, Ran Xiasheng felt a pain in his head. He said softly, "Old Yang, forget it."
…
Old Yang naturally saw Ran Xiasheng's fatigue and helplessness.
He didn't really want to take Ran Chunwang away today, and he knew that if he took him away in front of Ran Xiasheng, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble for Ran Xiasheng.
The villagers' discussion was inevitable. No one cared whether you felt wronged or not, and no one cared that it was him who did it, not Ran Xiasheng. All they saw was that the person was taken away in front of Ran Xiasheng, so they would naturally put all the responsibility on him.
The villagers tend to favor the weak. Mi Yuehua was the weak one before, so naturally others would scold the Ran family for being too ruthless. Now, Mrs. Ran was crying, Father Ran was begging, and Ran Chunwang was being held and trembling. All they saw was the other members of the Ran family crying and having no one to turn to.
Naturally, she leaned towards Old Mrs. Ran, Old Man Ran and the first wife.
In contrast, Ran Xiasheng had a sense of power because of his official position and the help of the county's armed forces. Even if the fault was in the Ran family's old house, others would think it was Ran Xiasheng's fault. They didn't care that it was Ran Chunwang's fault, and he was just doing his job.
It is a big mistake to think that Ran Xiasheng was merciless, forced his own brother to death, and didn't care about his own parents.
The reason why Old Yang just planned to take Ran Chunwang away was to tell the people of the Ran family that he could take him away at any time. This was to warn the Ran family not to do anything rash.
If they have any impure thoughts, Ran Chunwang will not be able to be saved.
Old Yang's move immediately made the Ran family feel a lot quieter.
Especially Ran Chunwang, who almost escaped death. At this moment, the eldest wife had no thoughts at all.
…
This time when the Ran family split up, only the second branch was separated, but in fact it was no different from a real split.
Because the third child has always been in the county town, he would never live in the village. According to village rules, the elderly should live with the eldest child, so there is nothing wrong with living in the big house with the two elderly people.
The second branch of the family should be able to have its own residential plot in the village after the separation, and they can then build their own house.
Ran Xiasheng has been serving in the army for many years and has earned a lot of allowances, not to mention that his unit is a special unit and he always has to perform special tasks, so the bonus is even greater. Building a house is no problem at all.
But for the time being, Ran Xiasheng had no intention of building a house in the village.
He was worried about leaving his wife and children in the countryside.
His idea was to wait until his wife had finished her confinement and then apply to file a report and request that his family members accompany the army.
When he came back from vacation, the report had actually been submitted, but it had not yet been approved.
But for Chang, it was not a big problem. He knew that it was only a matter of time before he joined the army.
Now others are fighting on the front line, so it's a bit troublesome.
His plan was to take his wife and daughter to a county in the southwest first, and then figure out how to join the army.
…
After the second branch of the Ran family left, the entire Ran family fell into chaos.
I don't know if it was intentional this time, but I was driving particularly slowly.
This is to take care of Mi Yuehua and Ran Yingying.
One was born not long ago, and the other is still in confinement.
Others were chatting in the car.
Especially Zhai Jianguo, he is a chatterbox and can't hold back at all.
He joked with another veteran and Lao Yang, and occasionally chatted with Ran Xiasheng.
At this moment, Ran Xiasheng only had his wife and children in his mind and eyes, and he only spoke a few words to them occasionally.
I was a listener throughout the whole process.
Mi Yuehua listened quietly, listening to the two veterans talking about interesting things on the battlefield, and she listened very seriously.
She had always been curious about her husband's work environment, but she had never been there.
They could only meet once a year when Xia Sheng was on vacation.
She had never gone to the Southwest Team before, firstly because there was a war going on there and it was unsafe, so Xia Sheng didn't dare to let her go, and secondly because the Ran family didn't allow her to go.
Especially Old Lady Ran, who refused to let her leave Xiashan Village.
It was as if she had left Xiashan Village and would never come back.
She was kept under arrest and not allowed to leave the village.
She was not allowed to go back to her parents' home, for fear that she would take the rice, flour and money from home to her parents' home.
Her family was poor and she had many brothers and sisters, but she was not the kind of person who would use her husband's family's things to support her family.
She also knew that the old lady didn't dislike her for this reason, but for a simpler reason.
Now she has figured it out. If she doesn't like it, then she doesn't like it. She still doesn't like the Ran family.
Now they have moved out of Xiashan Village and severed their ties with the old Ran family house, and will have no relationship with it in the future.
In the past, she felt inferior and didn't dare to stand up straight. Now, she has a loving husband and a lovely daughter. Her life must be much better than those people in the old house.
She no longer had to be afraid.
She was amused when she looked down at her daughter, who was yawning and squinting her eyes, as if she was also listening to the veterans' war stories.
My daughter is so young, how could she possibly understand?
But her heart suddenly felt warm.
She was surrounded by a warmth and strength she had never felt before.
Ran Yingying opened her eyes slightly and looked at her mother.
There was not enough light in the carriage, and she could only see her mother's beautiful chin.
The shadows of trees are dancing outside the window.
Image flight.
The shadows of the scenery outside the car window were cast into the car.
Ran Yingying clearly saw that the corners of her mother's mouth were rising.
Mom must be very happy, right?
After leaving her hometown, no one forced her or scolded her anymore. She finally had hope in life. How could she not be in a good mood?
Next to him, Cui Jianguo was still talking about interesting things on the battlefield.
Slowly, Ran Yingying's attention was also drawn to it.
She had only been to the southwest once in her previous life. When her father retired from the army, they returned to Weian County.
She was fascinated by the war stories Cui Jianguo told.
She had also heard stories about her father's wars in her previous life.
This is a story that her father could not help telling her every time he reminisced about his military service.
She had heard many stories about her father's first time on the battlefield and his joy when he successfully completed his first mission.
The first time I went from being an ordinary soldier to being a squad leader.
As more and more missions were assigned to him, his father's position became higher and higher.
But the tasks are becoming more and more urgent and more difficult.
But she didn't know the stories that Mr. Zhai told her.
These are all stories that happened recently. They were battles that my father led his soldiers deep into the enemy camp and fought at the risk of his life.
"At that time, our team of ten people in total sneaked into the enemy's ammunition depot." Cui Jianguo was talking about the scene at that time. "Under the wise command of the battalion commander, we quickly destroyed the enemy's ammunition depot. Just as we were about to retreat, there was a sudden explosion. The explosion went off."
Everyone present who was listening had no expression on their faces except Ran Xiasheng and another veteran who had experienced this battle. Everyone else was stunned.
Especially Ran Yingying and Mi Yuehua.
Mi Yuehua never imagined that it would be so dangerous for her husband to serve in the army, and he never told her.
She herself had guessed that war was definitely not that safe, and that was why she did not dare to tell her husband about the injustice and bullying she had suffered, for fear that her husband would be distracted and worried about her, and would have no time to deal with the enemy properly.
If anything happened, she would not forgive herself.
If anything happened to her husband, she wouldn't be much better off.
In this family, she can only live a better life if her husband is safe and successful.
Ran Yingying also listened carefully. More than 20 days ago?
Aren't these the 3 periods of time she was born in?
The little guy frowned and listened more carefully.
"That day, it was strange. When the explosion happened, our hearts skipped a beat. It was over. We found out that the battalion commander hadn't come out yet. We almost went crazy!"
As Zhai Jianguo described the situation vividly, everyone's heart tightened.
Even another veteran who participated in the battle at the same time felt distressed.
Ran Xiasheng was the calmest person present.
Mi Yuehua couldn't help but hold Ran Xiasheng's hand tightly, with silent questioning in her eyes.
Ran Xiasheng patted the back of her hand gently and gave her a comforting look: It's okay, am I not standing in front of you safely?
Mi Yuehua's heart calmed down a little.
"By the way, that day seemed to be the day the baby was born." Zhai Jianguo suddenly remembered this.
The expression on Ran Xiasheng's face finally changed. Yes, that day was the day his daughter was born.
When he was surrounded by bombs and narrowly escaped death, he heard a baby crying.
He was awakened by crying.
I found that nothing was wrong with me, not even a single injury.
Even though he clearly remembered that the shells had surrounded him, he thought he was doomed.
Nothing happened.
He couldn't help but look at his daughter in his wife's arms and smiled: his daughter is really his lucky star.
Ran Yingying was also thinking about this question at the same time: what happened on the day she was born?
I remember that at the moment she was born, she gave off a koi aura that surrounded her mother. At the same time, she was so frightened that the koi aura actually spread out and flew very far.
She knew then that she had protected her father.
But I didn’t know that it could be protected so timely.
It is hard to imagine, if she had not been born at that time, if she had not released the kinki aura, her father would be far away in the southwest, how could he escape when he encountered such a dangerous situation?
She didn't know whether her father had encountered a similar crisis in his previous life, but maybe he had.
I only remember hearing my father say that Father Zhai once saved my father and protected him under his body.
Zhai's father was killed on the spot, but my father was injured. Was it this time?
Or some other battle?
At that time, her father did not tell her the details, and she did not know in which battle Zhai's father died.
All she knew was that by the time she was old enough to understand, her father's legs had become disabled and he had been sent back.
Later, I brought my brother back and he became a member of the second branch of the Ran family.
That sensitive, stubborn, and taciturn brother has been in the Ran family for ten years.
Afterwards, he left the Ran family and wandered around outside at a young age.
Ran Yingying suddenly felt distressed.
It turns out that my father's life in the army was such a dangerous and hard one.
Back home, they thought their father was enjoying the best of life but he didn't take them to enjoy it with him.
Pooh!
The author has something to say: Ran Chunwang: I’m dying of suffocation, how immoral!
Cui Jianguo: What a pity! These socks don’t stink at all and won’t kill him.
Ran Chunwang: Are you serious?
