Jian Dan was worried that the other bag would be just as outrageous. Luckily, it contained a small military uniform, a women's uniform at that. Whether Jian Dan liked it or not, in this day and age, it was definitely the most beloved style of clothing for young wives and daughters. It is said that many people consider owning a military uniform as their wedding dress as a dream.
A complete set, a military uniform consisting of a top and bottom, a military overcoat, a cotton hat, and small boots.
Jian Dan was surprised. Where did these men come from, and how did they become so meticulous?
The three of them stopped at the village entrance after leaving the house. Cheng Jin was speechless.
"Xiao Chao, you, you, you, are you really that desperate for a bite to eat?"
Even a female educated youth who is several years younger than you isn't as naive as you.
"Look at yourself, calling yourself a 'little brother'? You think you're so capable? Knowing you're no good, you sell out your uncle?"
Cheng Chao no longer had the sunshine he had earlier, and looked somewhat aggrieved.
"Uncle, I like her,"
The two parents were startled, exchanged a glance, and before they could utter a word of advice, they heard him continue.
"Uncle, she is very warm, just like the feeling of home."
Cheng Jin immediately fell silent, even his breathing became much lighter.
It is said that the Cheng family in Kyoto is a large and powerful family, but who knows that now only the three of them, uncle and nephew, remain. The second brother is in the Northwest Military Region, and he tried every means to bring his only nephew to his side to protect him.
In the years since their parents, brother, and sister-in-law passed away, home has been an illusory concept to them. There are only three of them, yet they have never been together. What this child is thinking about is that warm feeling, the feeling of being cared for and remembered, like the millet porridge last time and the casualness this time.
Cheng Jin stepped forward, patted his nephew, and said nothing.
Lin Zhengde said softly,
"Don't think too much about it. We're still here, and our contact with her won't just end like that. We'll keep in touch."
After a long pause, Cheng Chao finally nodded.
"Let's go, it's almost time to meet up."
After seeing the person off, the two walked back silently.
"He had no childhood and has never liked to talk, especially gossip."
Last time he was reluctant to leave, and I thought he might be just confused because he was freezing.
"You're so cheerful again today, what do you think it means?"
"How old is he? Eighteen this year, right?"
Look, all these years, from the time the accident happened at home until now, how many years has it been, more than ten years, right?
He has never shown such emotional vulnerability before; he has always been mature beyond his years.
Actually, Jin-ge, do you think it's a bad thing? He's so repressed with so much pressure.
I keep everything to myself, afraid of hurting you, so I don't dare to tell you too much.
He can't tell everyone everything, so he always keeps himself in check. Brother Jin, he's still just a child.
Cheng Jin's voice was trembling with tears.
"How could I not know? The situation is getting more and more tense. I don't dare to contact my second brother easily, for fear that someone will seize on any clues. He has always been someone I don't have to worry about. I thought, I thought that the child had forgotten what happened before. After all, he was so young back then."
Just now, he talked about the feeling of home, and I suddenly realized that we haven't had a home for so long, yet he can still remember this faint memory.
This is too cruel to him; it would be better to just forget about him completely.
Lin Zhengde understood the situation, but didn't know how to advise him.
"This young educated youth is also a good one. Just like I said, we should maintain good relationships and visit each other often."
A few days after our first encounter, some basic information was placed on my desk.
"Alas, she was also pitiful. The older generation were capitalists who donated all their assets. Their only son was killed, and their daughter-in-law followed him."
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when a person dies, the tea grows cold.
The funeral arrangements had just been completed when her former fiancé came to insult her and even physically assaulted her.
If it weren't for the girl's quick thinking in calling for help, who knows what might have happened?
He was someone with his own ideas, who decisively signed up to go to the countryside; otherwise…
Lin Zhengde shook his head.
"I've heard that the situation in the capital is getting increasingly chaotic."
"Old Lin, when do you think this will ever end?"
Lin Zhengde comes from a family with deep roots and has not been affected for the time being.
"Don't worry, sooner or later, the dark clouds won't block out the sun forever."
This interruption made Jian Dan not sleepy anymore, and she put away all the things on the kang (heated brick bed).
After thinking for a moment, he took out a few inconspicuous items, put them in a basket, and headed towards the village.
I didn't actually contribute much to the last incident; it was Liu Weimin who was busy with all the talking.
It was already past three o'clock, and most families had finished their two meals. The timing was perfect, avoiding the awkwardness of mealtimes for both sides.
Sure enough, when they entered the courtyard, the kitchen was still steaming. Sun Dalian was washing dishes and pots in the sweltering heat. When she saw Jian Dan come in, she quickly greeted her.
"Jian Zhiqing, come in quickly, come in quickly, Mom and Dad, Jian Zhiqing is here."
After the family finished eating, the children played on the kang (a heated brick bed). Liu Weimin sat on the edge of the kang, Liu Jianshe sat on a stool, and Wang Guihua was making shoes on the kang, having just put out her small basket.
"Come here, sit down, it's warm on this kang (heated brick bed)."
He didn't mince words.
"Why!"
Liu Weimin knew her well. He glanced at the basket she was carrying, and after she settled down, he said something.
"Is something wrong?"
Wang Guihua was so angry that she grabbed a thimble and threw it at them.
"You old fool, can't you speak properly? Can't young educated youth Jian just come here for a casual visit?"
Simple jokes made him laugh, and he quickly reached out to stop Wang Guihua from grabbing the ball of yarn and throwing it outside.
"Auntie, you know, my uncle understands me best. I'm so lazy, I must have something to do if I go out."
But it's not a big deal.
Uncle, didn't I save someone last time? That person just came over, bringing some things to thank us.
All I see are food items; they really treat me like a child.
But you said I'm all alone, how much can I eat? I just brought some over for you, as a snack for Blackie. Besides, you were quite busy and took up a lot of time last time, and you even made Jianshe-ge work hard too.”
After hearing this, Liu Weimin and Liu Jianshe both understood what was going on.
"When did you arrive? Is that person alright?"
Liu Weimin is also considered to have a good background in the children, so we should ask him about it.
A simple wave of the hand,
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Just now, I saw that he seemed to have something to do. He left in a hurry and didn't stay for long. I guess he was very busy. I didn't dare to ask any more questions."
Once he understood, Liu Weimin felt relieved.
"Okay, as long as nothing's wrong."
However, you should remember this lesson and not pick up just anyone.
"This time they were good people, so it's fine. But what about next time? Can you guarantee that every person you meet won't have bad intentions?"
