Chapter 1460: Getting Even More Intense
Knowing that the girl was weak and would not be able to work after marriage and needed to rest well, a lot of people advised Mr. Zhai to marry anyone better than this sickly girl who could help him take care of the family.
But Master Zhai seemed to be possessed by a demon and insisted on marrying the girl.
Three years after they got married, she still had no milk. So, someone said that the girl had a disease from her mother's womb and it seemed that she would not only die young but also be like a hen that could not lay eggs.
During this time, World War II broke out, the country was in chaos, and people were having a hard time.
In other words, Master Zhai's decision to join the army was based on an incident at that time. Japan invaded China and did countless bad things. It also implemented the "Three Alls" policy, which made the Chinese hate it. The village where Master Zhai lived had a good harvest every year. Of course, it was very easy to be targeted at that time.
Mr. Zhai's eyes lit up when he heard that Japan insulted Chinese women whenever they met. After confirming the news, a Japanese team of only a dozen people and armed with guns came to his village to steal things. Mr. Zhai became murderous and simply organized the villagers to kill this Japanese team.
After burying the Japanese for more than a decade, Mr. Zhai took the guns and ammunition he had searched from the Japanese for his own use and organized a militia team in the village to protect the village.
This was later heard by a Red Army officer, who was impressed by the talent of Zhai. Zhai's family was well-off in the village, and he had studied in a private school in the town, so he could read and understand reason.
If it weren't for Mr. Zhai's outstanding conditions, he wouldn't have become the village hunk and been stared at by so many young girls.
Then again, Master Zhai can read, so his perspective is different from that of ordinary people. He knows that without a country, there is no home. Even if he is very capable and works with the people in the village to protect his family, as long as China does not completely defeat Japan and drive Japan out of the country, things like today will happen from time to time in the future and there is no way to stop it.
If he wants to protect his own family, the first thing he should do is to protect the country.
So, Master Zhai made a decision that surprised everyone in the village: he decided to join the army.
Everyone was very surprised to hear this answer. The girl that Master Zhai married was in poor health and very timid, but Master Zhai loved her. Everyone in the village knew that Master Zhai protected his wife like the apple of his eye. I'm afraid that the girl's luck for several lifetimes was used up by meeting such a good man like Master Zhai.
The problem is, once Master Zhai joins the army, there will be no one to take care of this sickly girl. Master Zhai is really reluctant to let her go. Isn't he afraid that when he leaves, the girl will suffer from headaches and fevers without his care, and may die?
Of course, Grandpa Zhai was not such an unreliable person. He made good arrangements for Grandma Zhai's life before he left. Grandma Zhai was very supportive of Grandpa Zhai's career and told him that before she married him, she had lived a good life for 18 years.
It doesn't make sense. She has only been married to him for three years. If she leaves him, she won't be able to handle her life and will starve to death. It is better to rely on yourself than on others. She will definitely take good care of herself and wait for Master Zhai's son to return.
After the couple got back together, Master Zhai went to join the army with only one set of clothes and two pairs of shoes that his wife had made for him. Coincidentally, the night before he left, the most precious mother in the village who couldn't lay eggs was pregnant.
Fortunately, the timing was right. Usually, Grandma Zhai didn't like to gossip around, and she never interacted with men. Old Master Zhai had just joined the army, and the people in the village were willing to pay more attention to Grandma Zhai. So the old men and women in the village knew that the baby in Grandma Zhai's belly must be Old Master Zhai's.
Ten months later, the baby was born.
As Zhai Yaohui's eyes grew, no one in the village doubted who the child's father was. Given that Zhai Yaohui and Old Master Zhai looked exactly like each other, no one believed they were not father and son.
Grandma Zhai survived such a difficult time. Even without her husband, she still raised Zhai Yaohui into a strong boy. Gradually, the villagers changed their attitude towards Grandma Zhai. Although she was physically weak, she could give birth to a child, take care of the child, and take care of the family. She was considered a good woman.
During the time when Grandpa Zhai was not around, everyone thought that Grandma Zhai and Zhai Yaohui were doing well. Only Zhai Yaohui understood how hard it was for his mother to raise him. If it weren't for him, his mother wouldn't have been in such poor health. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she didn't enjoy a few years of happiness. She only had time to see her grandchildren before she passed away.
The early death of Zhai *** may be a pain that Zhai Laozi and Zhai Yaohui cannot touch in their hearts.
For so many years, Grandpa Zhai has never forgotten Grandma Zhai, but he rarely discusses his past with Grandma Zhai in front of the whole family. It's no wonder that Miao Liang looked frightened when she suddenly mentioned it today.
"Dad, eat more food." Miao Liang didn't have much impression of her mother-in-law. As soon as she got married, her mother-in-law was already sick in bed and could not see her twice from day to night. Every time I go to take care of my mother-in-law, the smell of medicine in her house is so overwhelming. Of course, it's not that Miao Liang doesn't want to take care of her seriously ill mother-in-law, it's that Mr. Zhai doesn't like to leave things to others, he does it himself.
Mr. Zhai is a young man. Because of the war, he married Mrs. Zhai when he was young. They only spent three years together, and not much time after that. Now that their wives have married and the country is peaceful, he can finally be with Mrs. Zhai.
After Zhai Sheng was born and weaned, Grandma Zhai did not survive and passed away in the early spring of the following year.
When Master Zhai was fighting in the war, he had accumulated a lot of hidden wounds. Zhai Yaohui performed well, joined the army early, and made great achievements. As a result, the superiors tacitly agreed to Master Zhai's retirement and gave Zhai Yaohui more opportunities to compensate Master Zhai for his early retirement.
When Zhai Yaohui was determined to climb up the career ladder, Grandpa Zhai had not yet completely recovered from the pain of losing his wife. Miao Liang silently took on everything at home. Not only did she have to take care of the elderly and children, but when she was outside, she was also ridiculed and made things difficult by Qi Minlan. Yes, the two or three years after Grandma Zhai passed away were also the two or three years that Miao Liang had the hardest time.
It was not until Zhai Yaohui defeated Shi Peng with his own strength, outstanding performance and eye-catching style, and became one of the top middle-aged leaders in the same batch as Zhu Chengqi, that Qi Minlan's embarrassment towards Miao Liang reached an even more severe point.
