Xu Ningyan and Sister Mei were initially a little worried, but they were relieved to see that the two boys had no adverse reactions after eating it.
Regardless of Jiang Zhiyuan's purpose in coming to the Northwest, Xu Ningyan's trip was genuinely to take Jiang Chen and his brother to pay respects to the hero Xu.
After resting for two days, we prepared to go to the Martyrs' Cemetery.
The military region already attached great importance to their return, and given Jiang Zhiyuan's current status and position in such an important unit in Beijing, they dared not neglect him.
They immediately assigned someone to be in charge of receiving them.
If Xu Ningyan and Jiang Zhiyuan hadn't said it was a private trip and they didn't want to disturb others, the military region would probably have sent people to the martyrs' cemetery to hold a ceremony.
Even so, the martyrs' cemetery was well prepared and ready to welcome Xu Ningyan and his group.
Putting everything else aside, I didn't see many people along the way, so it seems the area was cleared out beforehand.
That's good, at least no one else will bother them.
Although Jiang Zhiyuan had other missions this time, his visit to his father-in-law was sincere.
I had prepared a jar of wine, fruit, some snacks, and two bowls of meat dishes long ago.
Upon entering the martyrs' cemetery, Jiang Zhiyuan first poured wine in front of the martyrs' monument in the center of the cemetery, as a way of paying tribute to all the martyrs in the cemetery.
Then we arrived at Xu Yingxiong's tombstone.
They placed fruits, snacks, and meat dishes in front of Xu Yingxiong's grave, and then wiped the tombstone with the remaining wine.
Xu Ningyan handed the child in her arms to Jiang Zhixing, and walked around Xu Yingxiong's grave, intending to pull out any weeds if they appeared.
It's a pity that the hero had no place to use his skills. The cemetery has probably just been renovated by the military. There are no weeds or even broken stones to be seen.
After circling around, Jiang Zhiyuan and Xu Ningyan took the child and knelt before the tombstone.
“Dad, we’ve come to see you! These are your two eldest grandsons, one named Jiang Chen and the other Jiang Zhan. We brought them here especially to show you!” After saying this, Jiang Zhiyuan helped the children and kowtowed to Xu Yingxiong’s tombstone.
The two children were already chubby, like little dumplings.
He was forced by his own father to kowtow to Xu Yingxiong's tombstone, and with a thud, he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
The little bottom wiggled and thrashed on the ground, but couldn't get up.
It was their own mother who couldn't bear to watch any longer and picked up the two children, their little faces already covered in patches of grime and white.
Sister Mei felt sorry for the child and quickly took the child from her and used a handkerchief to wipe him.
Jiang Zhixing followed closely behind, quickly kneeling down and kowtowing three times to Xu Yingxiong's tombstone: "Uncle Xu, please rest assured down below! Since my sister-in-law married into our Jiang family, our Jiang family will be her support and her home! My sister-in-law is not only my brother's wife, but also my own sister and my mother's own daughter! If my brother ever wrongs my sister-in-law, our family will definitely kick him out and keep my sister-in-law..."
He chattered on and on with Xu Yingxiong for a while, but Jiang Zhiyuan couldn't stand it anymore and pulled him up, saying, "Take Pingping and An'an outside and wait."
Jiang Zhixing glanced at Xu Ningyan, who was still kneeling, nodded, and he and Sister Mei each picked up a child and walked outside.
Jiang Zhiyuan patted Xu Ningyan on the shoulder: "You talk to your father-in-law, I'll talk to the people from the Northwest Military Region about death."
After saying this, he got up and spoke a few words to the people from the military who were receiving them. The two of them then walked a little further away to talk, giving Xu Ningyan some time alone.
Xu Ningyan stared at the tombstone in silence for a long while before slowly speaking: "I wonder how you are doing down there? Have you found her yet? Although I am not her, I am still her, and Pingping and An'an still have your blood flowing in their veins! So I brought them here to see you, so that you can know that your bloodline has not been severed!"
"They are both very good and lovely children, as you can see! Aren't they?"
As she spoke, she turned around and looked back. Sister Mei and Jiang Zhixing hadn't gone far with the children. The two children kept babbling and pointing at this and that. Jiang Zhixing, who usually seemed unreliable, was very patient at this moment. He stopped and carefully explained things to the two children who didn't really understand, without trying to fool them at all.
Whether it was a telepathic connection between mother and children or not, when Xu Ningyan looked over, the two children were also grinning in her direction, revealing toothless smiles, and drool dripped onto the back of Jiang Zhixing's hand.
President Jiang Zhi took a breath, skillfully took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the drool from the two children, and just then saw Xu Ningyan turn around, so he subconsciously waved.
Xu Ningyan silently turned her head back. "You should have seen it, I'm doing very well now! The two children are doing well too! Their father will raise them to adulthood properly and will absolutely not tarnish your reputation or bring shame to you!"
"If circumstances allow, I will bring my child to visit you every year, so please don't worry!"
After saying this, he kowtowed three times to Xu Yingxiong in a proper and earnest manner before getting up.
Jiang Zhiyuan was just looking for an excuse to let Xu Ningyan and Xu Yingxiong talk alone.
So although he was talking to the people who were receiving them, half of his attention was on Xu Ningyan.
Seeing her stand up, he immediately stopped talking, apologized, and walked over to Xu Ningyan.
Upon approaching, he first observed Xu Ningyan's expression. Seeing that she was relatively calm, he felt relieved, patted the dust off Xu Ningyan's pants, and cautiously asked, "Shall we go back to the guesthouse, or wander around outside?"
Xu Ningyan was naturally calm; she didn't feel that she owed Xu Yingxiong or the original owner of this body anything.
After all, it wasn't intentional for him to take over the original owner's body.
Furthermore, if I hadn't transmigrated here, the original owner would either have died on the spot, or, as described in the book, been framed by Xu Zhenzhu and died a tragic death.
She transmigrated into the original owner's body, changed the original owner's fate, and even avenged the original owner. She had done right by the original owner in every way.
Looking at the clear blue sky, the weather in Northwest China in May is quite nice during the day. The temperature is pleasant, and you can see some greenery. The wind is just right. "Let's take the kids out for a walk. It's a rare treat to be out here."
The group left the martyrs' cemetery and slowly walked towards the guesthouse.
Jiang Zhixing and Sister Mei walked ahead carrying the children, while the people who were receiving them explained the scenery along the way and played with the two little boys.
Jiang Zhiyuan and Xu Ningyan lagged behind.
"Starting tomorrow, I'll be leaving for a few days—" After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Zhiyuan finally spoke.
