moment.
The child's face showed an apology that could not be concealed, "I..."
Liu Hongxia quickly said, "Xingxing, a man should keep his word. You must do what you promised me. Otherwise, you will be a child who goes back on his word. No adult will like such a child."
Xingxing looked up blankly.
Liu Hongxia took the opportunity to continue, "Xingxing, ever since you and your sister came to the compound, Aunt Liu has been kind to you. Aunt Liu has been kind to you for two years, right?"
Xingxing nodded.
Aunt Liu was indeed very good to him and his sister. Last winter, his sister wet her pants but didn't dare to tell anyone and just sat on a rock. Later, her pants froze and were stuck to the rock, and his sister couldn't move.
He went back to look for... that woman, but she didn't care. In the end, it was Aunt Liu who helped his sister take off her pants, and then she found other children wearing small clothes and pointed them out.
Xingxing has always remembered the kindness Liu Hongxia showed to herself and her sister and has never forgotten it.
Liu Hongxia held Xingxing's hand and said, "But that evil woman has been bullying you and your sister for a year, and she's only been nice to you for less than a month. Besides, how do you know she's not using you to make your father give up the idea of divorce?"
Xingxing: “She’s not.”
Xingxing's answer was so quick and so decisive that a hint of jealousy flashed in Liu Hongxia's eyes.
Liu Hongxia gritted her teeth and said, "Xingxing, you're a smart kid, why are you so confused now? If you trust someone's disguise, you'll be pushing both you and your sister into a fire pit! How could a woman who's bent on selling you out become so kind to you overnight? Think about it carefully."
Finished.
He casually handed a few fresh walnuts in his hand to Xingxing.
Xingxing shook her head. "I don't eat walnuts. My sister is allergic to walnuts."
After saying this, Xingxing turned and ran away.
Liu Hongxia was left alone, staring at the fresh walnuts in her hand. Is Diandian allergic to walnuts?
——
Gu Zhonghua drove Sheng Xijiang to the doorstep, "Hey! Aren't your sister-in-law and son home? Why is the house so quiet?"
"father!"
"Uncle Sheng."
Xingxing and Chunsheng ran over from behind. Xingxing said, "Dad, um...she's at Aunt He's house. I was just playing with my sister, and she said she wanted to sleep, so I took her home. I helped her take off her shoes and covered her with a blanket. She's still sleeping now."
Sheng Xijiang touched Xingxing's little head and said, "Be good."
Gu Zhonghua yawned, "Old Sheng, I'm going to go back and get some sleep. I listened to reports all night last night and my head is burning. You should also go home and rest for the morning. Bye."
Xingxing and Chunsheng went out to play again.
When Xingxing ran away, Liu Hongxia, who was hiding behind a tree in the distance, hurried over and said, "Brother Sheng, you're back. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Isn't your sister-in-law waiting for you at home to cook for you? Your sister-in-law is really something!"
Sheng Xijiang said politely and distantly, "I've already eaten."
Liu Hongxia said "oh" and held up the two pairs of pants in her hand. "These are the pants that my brother's niece wore too small. I gave them to Diandian. I've only worn them once or twice, and they're as good as new."
Finished.
Liu Hongxia walked in and said, "Brother Sheng, have you heard about what happened last night? Don't be angry. My sister-in-law may really not like studying..."
Sheng Xijiang frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"
Liu Hongxia looked surprised. "You haven't heard yet? Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything. Brother Sheng, listen to my advice. Even if you really know what happened last night, don't quarrel with your sister-in-law."
Liu Hongxia said as she walked into the room, "Dian Dian is still sleeping. Why is she sleeping so early in the morning? Are you feeling unwell? Let me feel her."
Liu Hongxia walked to the bedside.
He raised his hand and touched Diandian's forehead. His palm felt hot instantly. "Brother Sheng, this is bad. Diandian seems to have a fever. Her whole body is burning."
Sheng Xijiang quickly ran into the house and touched Diandian's little face with his broad palm, feeling the scorching heat.
Sheng Xijiang didn't hesitate at all and ran towards the military hospital with Diandian in his arms.
Liu Hongxia hurriedly chased after him, "Brother Sheng, I'll go with you."
Sheng Xijiang strode forward and said, "Don't bother me, just go back."
Liu Hongxia's eyes were red with nervousness, and she choked up and said, "I watched Diandian grow up. How can I feel at ease if you ask me to go back? Brother Sheng, will Diandian be okay? How does my sister-in-law take care of the child? She either falls into the water or gets sick. This poor little thing, I'm so heartbroken."
Sheng Xijiang's lips moved slightly, and his voice was cold, "Are you done? Then shut up."
Liu Hongxia: “…”
Military hospital.
After conducting a series of tests, the doctor told Sheng Xijiang, "Deputy Captain Sheng, the child is allergic. Has he ever been allergic to anything before?"
Sheng Xijiang nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on Diandian's face, which was covered with large red pimples. "Diandian was allergic to fresh walnuts when she was one year old, and she has never touched fresh walnuts since then."
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief. "That's it. The child probably accidentally ate fresh walnuts. I've already given him an injection of antibiotics. If the bumps on his body are itchy and hot after he wakes up, he'll need an IV and anti-inflammatory drugs."
Sheng Xijiang said "OK" in a deep voice.
Liu Hongxia wiped her tears. "How could Diandian have such a tragic fate? Such a young child has suffered so much injustice. Brother Sheng, if Brother Fan could see this in heaven, how heartbroken would he be?"
Sheng Xijiang raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you just say happened in the literacy class last night?"
Liu Hongxia was overjoyed, but she pretended to be embarrassed. "I shouldn't be saying this to Brother Sheng. It makes me look like I'm gossiping behind his back, but I'm not that kind of person..."
Sheng Xijiang held Diandian in his arms and sat on a plastic chair. There was a hint of displeasure in his voice. His muffled voice was serious yet pleasant. "Just say what I told you to say!"
Liu Hongxia sat down next to Sheng Xijiang and began to speak, "Last night at the literacy class, my sister-in-law insisted on being the center of attention. She ended up yelling in class. I'm embarrassed to repeat the words she used. She used words like 'fuck' and 'scream'. After she finished, she patted her butt and walked away. The teacher was stunned. Later, she even dragged He Dahua away with her."
Sheng Xijiang gently rubbed his index finger against his finger, and a glint of wisdom flashed across his eyes, but it was fleeting. He said angrily, "How unreasonable!"
It seems that Sheng Xijiang is angry.
Liu Hongxia was so excited that she suppressed her excitement. "Brother Sheng, did you tell my sister-in-law about Diandian's allergy to walnuts? If you didn't, my sister-in-law would be innocent. But if you did, then... it would be a bit troublesome."
