Before Chen Sisi could speak, an older woman next to her clicked her tongue and said, "Sister Wang, is there even a need to ask? She's obviously back to collect her things. This educated youth, Chen, has married and moved to the provincial capital. It'll be difficult for her to come back again!"
Grandma Wang slapped her thigh and said, "Look at my blockhead, I knew the answer to that question."
Everyone congratulated Shen Sisi, and at the same time envied her for being a woman with a child who could find such a good officer, who was even a regimental commander!
I heard that officers at the regimental commander level live in family compounds with big houses. Chen Sisi is really living a life of luxury.
Chen Sisi remained noncommittal. She had come back to collect her belongings and also to visit her best friend, Xiao Chunyu.
At this moment, amidst the noise, someone mentioned Xiao Chunyu, who seemed to be Lin Qiang!
Lin Qiang had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, one hand gripping the steering wheel, and the other hanging limply. His eyes were slightly red, whether from the cold or the smoke, it was hard to tell.
"What about Xiao Chunyu? You're not planning to come back to see her anymore?"
When Xiao Chunyu was mentioned, all the aunts and uncles in the car fell silent.
The villagers were heartbroken by Xiao Chunyu's death.
A young educated youth from another village, who was also a teacher in the village, was impaled by a wooden stake while trying to save someone and died at a young age.
She had just given birth the day she saved the person; she hadn't even had a chance to breastfeed her baby or have completed her postpartum confinement period.
Oh, what a miserable life!
Chen Si glanced at the rough-looking man driving the car. This Lin Qiang had been interested in Xiao Chunyu back then. He often came to help them with their work and even repaired the house a few times. Unfortunately, Xiao Chunyu didn't like him. She preferred intellectuals.
I don't know which damned person had a relationship with Xiao Chunyu and then disappeared without a trace.
She suspected it was the male classmate who had visited her before.
She didn't know his name or which company he worked for; she had only seen him from afar. He was indeed a handsome and talented young man, and even his faded yellow shirt couldn't hide the confidence and radiance he exuded.
Whoever it was, if they didn't have the courage to admit it back then, then just pretend they're dead and never come back.
Niu Niu is now her child, the child of Chen Sisi and Xiao Chunyu!
Thinking of Xiao Chunyu, Shen Sisi felt a pang of sadness and her voice became hoarse: "Who said I wouldn't come back to see her? I will not only come back, but I will come back every year."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiang didn't say anything more, but his sadness became visibly apparent.
Before long, the tractor drove onto a muddy road.
This road connects to the rural road and leads to the village. Its only drawback is that it is full of potholes on sunny days and muddy and slippery on rainy days.
As the car drove onto this narrow road, its tires inevitably got stuck in a ditch.
The car jolted violently. Gu Chengfeng gripped the steel pipe tightly with one hand and held the soft little girl in his arms tightly with the other.
Feeling Shen Sisi's body bumping against him again and again, the fresh scent of her shampoo wafting into his nostrils, Gu Chengfeng felt his skin burning.
The people on the bus were thrown about, and Aunt Wang almost fell off the bus because she wasn't paying attention. Luckily, someone next to her pulled her up.
However, Gu Chengfeng and Shen Sisi remained as steady as a rock. No matter how much the car bumped and swayed, Gu Chengfeng protected the mother and daughter very well.
Chen Si buried her head in his strong embrace, resting her head on his firm arms. She realized that the feeling of being protected was so wonderful...
The usually strong-willed Chen Sisi finally nestled against Gu Chengfeng's wings like a little bird...
After nearly ten minutes of bumpy driving, the tractor finally slowly entered Jinfeng Village.
The villagers who were setting up the gate at the village entrance were in an uproar when they saw Shen Sisi and her military officer husband!
Those people immediately surrounded her, bombarding her with questions and praising the man beside her without reservation.
Outsiders may not know, but almost everyone in Jinfeng Village knows what's going on between Chen Sisi and Niu Niu.
Everyone respects Shen Sisi's character and admires the young girl's gratitude and sense of responsibility.
For Xiao Chunyu's reputation and her best friend's honor, she not only shouldered everything alone, but also raised her friend's child.
Everyone knows perfectly well that if Sisi is unmarried and has a child, she probably won't be able to get married easily.
If I were to marry, I could only find someone who was also divorced, or a mediocre man, to make do with.
To my surprise, she actually found a handsome and talented military officer.
Aunt Wang, that big mouth, started yelling at everyone she met as soon as she got off the bus. She said that Chen Sisi had married a regimental commander, and it was his first marriage. He treated her so well, protecting her the whole way and not letting her get hurt.
Those who didn't quite believe it understood everything the moment they saw Chen Sisi and Niu Niu.
In a short period of time, Chen Sisi and her mother were completely different from when they lived in the countryside.
"Sisi, your face has gotten rounder, and your skin is fair and rosy. The city really takes good care of you..."
Aunt Wang said with a smile, "It's not that the city supports people, it's that I found a good husband to support me."
His expression is always so frivolous!
Chen Si glanced at her, thinking to himself, "This Aunt Wang really has no sense of propriety when it comes to her words."
Aunt Wang coughed twice after being glared at, then changed the subject: "And Niu Niu, that little girl used to be so thin and pale, but now her face is all plumper, and she has a good complexion..."
"Yes, I haven't seen her coughing much lately. Before, she could cough several times while just talking."
"Yes, things have changed so much! Oh my, Sisi, is this the latest style? It's made of wool, it looks so nice..."
