Zheng Xinyi placed a comforting hand on her shoulder: "Don't cry. It's New Year's Day. It would be bad if Uncle Zhao saw you crying. Besides, Xishun must be watching you from heaven now. If he saw you so sad, he would definitely not be at ease."
Cheng Haoyu took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Fener: "Buy some food for the elderly and children, and have a good New Year."
Fen'er wiped away her tears and shook her head slightly, "No need. Ever since Xishun passed away, our family has received a lot of subsidies from above. It's thanks to these subsidies that we haven't gone hungry."
"Fen'er, as a member of Xishun's family, you should be proud of having such a man. You have to be strong in the future. If you have any difficulties and need help from above, just raise them in time. They will definitely try their best to satisfy you." Cheng Haoyu said seriously.
Fen'er nodded in understanding. "I know, I know everything. I know Xishun was a great man, and dying on the battlefield was a glorious thing. But my heart is pierced with sorrow, and my tears just flow uncontrollably. And our baby, who just turned one month old, has suffered so much."
At this moment, Zheng Xinyi and Cheng Haoyu could understand Fener's feelings very well, but they didn't know how to comfort her?
"Fen'er, what are you doing outside? Why haven't you come in for so long? The child has peed." Uncle Zhao's voice came from the inner room.
Fen'er wiped the tears from her face and tried her best to make her voice sound normal: "Hey! Dad, I'll be right over." Then she smiled at Cheng Haoyu and Zheng Xinyi: "Okay, you guys go back now!"
Looking at Fen'er's gradually receding figure, Cheng Haoyu and Zheng Xinyi felt very uncomfortable, with indescribable sadness and helplessness. After a long time, Cheng Haoyu slowly said, "Let's go!"
Along the way, both of them became silent, but as they walked, Cheng Haoyu finally couldn't bear the pain in his heart anymore, ran to a tree, and silently shed two lines of tears.
Zheng Xinyi slowly walked over, placed her comforting hand on his shoulder, and called out meaningfully, "Haoyu."
Cheng Haoyu slowly raised his head, his eyes red as he said, "Xinyi, did you know? Xishun is only five years older than me. When we were little, he often took me and a few other kids to play together. But I never thought that after all these years, he would die on the battlefield?"
"Bullets have no eyes on the battlefield. Looking at Fener and the one-month-old baby in her arms, my heart aches like a needle. I'm really scared that one day I'll be like her, holding the baby in my belly, waiting for you who will be there in the distant future." As she spoke, Zheng Xinyi's tears began to flow.
Cheng Haoyu came back to his senses, reached out to wipe the tears from his face, quickly hugged Zheng Xinyi tightly in his arms, and sighed softly: "Xinyi, don't worry, for you and the child, I will definitely protect myself well. If...if one day, I am really unfortunate, you must be strong and live on, take good care of our children, and watch them grow up."
"No, God won't be so cruel. I believe that day will never come in this lifetime." Zheng Xinyi tightened her arms around him.
