Chapter 0 Extra 16 An old couple came to the door
I'm not sure if I'm right about the bad news. They say bad luck can rebound after reaching its peak. But when my third brother returned home with a broken leg, my family almost fell apart.
My third brother almost died several times, but I was unwilling to give up. I kept calling him in his ear. Maybe he really couldn't bear to leave me and the children, so he survived time and time again.
If there's a turning point in my family's life, it would have to be the day Yueyue was nearly buried by her uncle. My world changed completely after that. It was the first time I boldly picked up a kitchen knife and attacked someone. At that moment, I had only one thought: I had to protect my children and my family.
I and my family had never been without a home before, and this time I absolutely couldn't do it again. That time I discovered that I could be strong and could be a big tree that protects the children.
It's just that no one has ever told me these things before, and I have to figure out many things on my own. What makes me happiest is that my little girl Yueyue is getting better day by day.
I was so happy. My daughter used to talk like a kitten, and she usually just lay down. I never thought she'd be so capable. I was so proud. Especially since she'd killed spies over and over again. I felt like there was no one in the world more capable than her.
Later, our family moved to the South Island. Gradually, I realized my daughter was indeed quite capable, but the time she spent with me was dwindling. I often sat in the yard, gazing at the front door, eagerly anticipating the sight of that little figure entering.
But that kind of scene rarely happened. My daughter was too busy. She was a company commander at such a young age. If it weren't for her, our family wouldn't even be able to live in the military family compound. The fact that we were safe and secure from life-threatening situations was all thanks to my daughter.
Maybe it’s been too long since my father left, I can no longer remember what he looked like.
That day felt like any other. My three sons had returned from the battlefield and were spending the last few days with their troops on South Island completing their final handover. My daughter was still away; I didn't even know if she was still in China or in some other country.
I took Xixi with me to pack our things. It was quite simple to pack our things. After all, everyone in the family had their own storage ring, and most of their things were in the space. There were only some daily necessities in the house.
Xixi has already reached the second level of Qi training. He is a small but cute boy. Among the children, he is the one who looks most like Yueyue.
"Xixi, there's a knock on the door. Go open it for mom."
Xixi strode to open the door. His height was barely enough to reach the latch. He opened the door and saw a dusty old couple standing outside. The old man and woman looked down at the little figure on the ground with loving eyes.
Xixi blinked his big eyes. He was sure he had never seen these two old men before. "Who are you looking for?"
Both Mr. Ke and Liu Ting knew that Xiao Yueyue had a little brother named Xixi, who was Cuicui's youngest child. So this must be it.
"Are you Xixi? Is your mother at home?" Liu Ting asked, holding back her tears.
Xixi didn't know why the old lady was crying. He nodded and said, "Mom, someone is looking for you outside."
I walked out of the house and saw an elderly couple at the door. My heart skipped a beat. I couldn't understand what was wrong with me. Was I sick? That was unlikely. I hadn't been sick in over two years.
"You guys, looking for me?" I'm no longer the wild kid who used to run around in the mountains. After living among people for so many years, I understand everything. Then I remembered the words my grandmother often scolded me when I was a child.
Especially the old lady in front of me. Although she has many wrinkles on her face, her facial features are similar to mine in many ways.
Thinking of Queen Chu, I didn't feel much emotion. "Please come in, both of you."
Old Ke and Liu Ting, their eyes red, followed me into the courtyard. I noticed they were both very excited, their hands trembling. I sighed inwardly. Actually, I'm quite content with my current home. Those childhood wishes are no longer important to me.
I don't know if the third brother heard the news, he ran back panting. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw two old men sitting on the stone bench, he immediately ran over and saluted.
"Hello, Chief. I am Tang Shengkai, the husband of Comrade Lin Cuicui."
The two elders stood up, and the old man, in particular, immediately changed his demeanor. He returned the greeting to the third brother. Tang Shengkai immediately pulled me in front of the two elders.
"Cui Cui, these two are your biological parents."
My suspicions were confirmed. I smiled at the two elderly people and said, "Hello."
These three simple words made the two elderly people burst into tears instantly. I am very soft-hearted, and seeing the two elderly people crying so sadly, I felt a little sorry.
"Don't cry. We've been fine all these years, isn't it great?"
Liu Ting looked at me in surprise, "You, you know us?"
I looked back at her and said, "I suddenly remembered a lot of things that happened when I was a child. I couldn't understand it before, but now I understand." I didn't tell her that my grandmother at home often beat and scolded me. What does that have to do with me?
After all, my father was truly kind to me. He lived a lonely life for me. Although I grew up without a mother, I think I was happy back then.
Seeing my calm expression, Mr. Ke gradually calmed down. He looked at the third brother and asked, "How did you know?"
The third brother smiled, "Father told me this when he handed Cuicui to me. He said that if one day I had the ability, I would help Cuicui find her biological parents. He also said that I failed to live up to your instructions and did not take good care of Cuicui.
The head of the military district just came to me and told me that you two came to my house and told me your purpose. I think I am right.
I didn't expect that my third brother had already known about my life experience, and I was also looking at him.
My third brother held my hand and said, "Cui Cui, it was really not easy for them. It must have been very hard for them to find you. When Dad went to heaven, he hoped that you could find your biological parents and live a good life in the future."
I suddenly choked up. I missed my father very much.
Liu Ting couldn't bear it any longer and hugged me directly in her arms, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby, it's all our fault. We should have found you earlier."
I patted her back gently. "Ah, actually, I've been pretty happy in my life. The saddest time was only those few months, and everything is over now. Now that they've found me, wouldn't it be bad to deny it?"
I looked at my third brother and asked, do you want to admit it?
The third brother looked at me with a smile and nodded solemnly. I hugged the old lady in my arms and smiled.
