As soon as the political commissar returned home, Liu Hongyan grabbed his arm.
"What are you doing?"
"Is Sheng Xijiang's story true or false?"
“…”
The political commissar was silent for a moment, then nodded to his wife with red eyes.
The man's body stiffened, his hands slowly falling, and he shook his head in disbelief. "How could this happen? He's... been through so much hardship before, so how come now... is this matter already set in stone? There's no turning back? Could someone have made a mistake? Or..."
The political commissar pulled his lover over and held her tightly in his arms.
He choked up and said, "I thought so at first, but the captain said..."
Everything is implied.
Liu Hongyan couldn't help sobbing. "What will happen to Sese and the children after this happens? Doesn't the regiment commander know that Sese is pregnant? Telling her such devastating news now, what if she gets too heartbroken? What will happen to the baby in her belly?"
The political commissar took a deep breath and said, "I think the regiment commander made the decision after careful consideration."
Liu Hongyan was speechless for a moment.
I know I can't blame the team leader, but I always feel that telling a woman at this time that her man died outside and will never come back is too cruel.
Put yourself in her shoes. If she were the one experiencing everything Zhou Sese experienced today, she might not be able to survive.
Liu Hongyan came out of the political commissar's arms and wiped her eyes with both hands, "I have to go and take a look."
He had just taken two steps when the political commissar pulled him back, "Today is not the right time. Let's go tomorrow."
Liu Hongyan turned around and rubbed her eyes with one hand. "Just now, Diandian was eating mung bean cake at our house. The little guy was very happy..."
Sheng family.
Zhou Sese lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
Aunt Zhang stood at the door with a bowl of noodles. After a long sigh, she walked in with a normal expression. "No matter what, you have to eat a full meal. Even if you don't want to eat, you have to consider the baby in your belly."
Zhou Sese slowly sat up.
Aunt Zhang picked up the small table and placed it on the bed. "Don't get out of bed. Just eat like this."
Zhou Sese took the chopsticks and didn't hear the sound of children playing outside. "Where are Xingxingdiandian and Wenjing?"
Aunt Zhang touched Zhou Sese's hair, her eyes full of love and pity, "Let Dahua call over. The three children will have dinner at Dahua's house tonight. Dahua has steamed brown sugar buns."
Zhou Sese nodded and ate noodles silently.
Aunt Zhang kept watching from the side, and her eyes became red as she watched. "No matter what, we have to look forward. No matter what happens, we can't degrade our bodies."
Zhou Sese raised her face from the noodles and smiled at Aunt Zhang, "Godmother, don't worry, I'm fine."
The more Zhou Sese behaved like this, the more distressed Aunt Zhang felt.
How can it be okay?
I was just forcing a smile to avoid making her worry.
Rather than watching her like this, it would be better to let the child cry freely in my arms.
"Is my sister-in-law home?"
It was Cao Kun’s new wife next door, who came over with Yaya.
Hearing the two footsteps, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but frown. She really didn't like the little girl next door.
By the time Aunt Zhang arrived at the door, the mother and daughter had already walked in carrying a small basket.
Cao Kun's wife handed the basket to Aunt Zhang, "Aunt, these are the eggs from the chickens I raised myself. They're for my sister-in-law and the children."
Aunt Zhang took it and casually placed it on the chest of drawers next to her. "Please sit down."
Cao Kun's wife sat down on a small stool, looking at Zhou Sese on the bed opposite, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Zhou Sese smiled weakly at her, "I know what you want to say, I appreciate your kindness."
Cao Kun's wife's eyes were slightly red, and she felt sorry for Zhou Sese sincerely. They were all military wives, and their husbands had to go out on missions from time to time. How could they not worry?
Today it’s him, tomorrow it might be my own man’s turn.
Today it is she who is experiencing life and death, but tomorrow it may be my turn.
Even thinking about it this way, Cao Kun's wife felt a prick of pain in her heart. "Sister-in-law, I'm not good at speaking and don't know what to say. Anyway, if you need any help from me in the future, you and aunt can just let me know."
Zhou Sese nodded slightly.
His eyes swept over Yaya beside Cao Kun's wife, and he saw a gloating look in the little girl's eyes. Zhou Sese pinched her fingers calmly.
Seeing that Zhou Sese was in low spirits, Cao Kun's wife said, "Sister-in-law, you have a good rest. I will go back with the children first. We are separated by a wall. If you have any problems, just shout."
Zhou Sese's face turned pale and she said thank you.
Cao Kun's wife stood up and left with Yaya.
night.
Cao Kun is back.
The couple lay on the same bed. Cao Kun's hand wandered over his wife's body, and she held both of his hands and held her in her arms. "I went to my sister-in-law's house next door today. Seeing her sad, I felt very sad."
Cao Kun ruffled her hair with one hand. "Why are you upset? You haven't even met Captain Sheng."
The woman shook her head. "Just look at your sister-in-law. You are also a soldier, and you have to go on missions anytime and anywhere. Although I don't know what you are doing, I know it must be very dangerous. Cao Kun, you must be fine. Promise me that you will be fine."
Cao Kun held the person in his arms.
To be honest.
