"What did your third aunt say?"
Ever since Qin Qinghuai noticed something was wrong with the child a few days ago, the old lady has become very conscious of seeking her son and daughter-in-law's opinions whenever she wants to reason with the child.
Her sons were all raised in a free-range manner. The situation is completely different now than before. It's not just about having food and clothes to wear anymore. She can make sure her grandchildren don't go astray, but she doesn't really believe she can raise them well, especially what her third son said about the children's psychological problems.
The psychological problems she knew about were all post-war stress reactions, requiring the intervention of a psychologist—nothing minor. Hearing this made her uneasy, and she became more cautious in her speech to the child.
"What did your third aunt say? Did she tell your third uncle? What were their opinions?"
Next door, the little one also looked serious, his chubby hands on his hips as he protested.
"Mommy, I want to go find Little Grey!"
"Mommy, Mommy!"
Why?
Simple was really troubled. She was very puzzled. How did this human and wolf get involved? Did they fall in love at first sight?
The little rascal's eyes sparkled.
"It's so big, so tall, so majestic! I want to sit on it, I want to sit on it!"
She simply covered her head, on the verge of tears.
She regretted it!
She hasn't been up the mountain much since giving birth, and in fact, she's rarely seen them since arriving here. They're always elusive, and she only saw the cub once by chance a few days ago. She insisted on taking her to the county town, partly because of this concern.
The child is so young and can't distinguish anything. The little cub is also very bold. Although Little Grey is always with Jixiang and Ruyi and keeps them from going home, and their relationship has been quite harmonious over the years, it is still a wolf after all, a wild beast. She still feels that there are too many uncontrollable factors.
I was thinking that by going to the county town, the kids would be all too familiar with everything and everything, and once they saw a lot, they would forget everything. I figured by the time we got back, this big guy would have completely forgotten about it.
Who knew that after experiencing so much in the county town—human traffickers, being arrested—she was worried that her child would be traumatized, and yet, this is what happened?
What kind of being was this child? How could they be so bold?
Could it be that he really inherited it from her, oh no, it must be from her past life, that he has this fearless and tiger-like spirit?
"...Girl, you have so many friends, don't you miss them?"
Brother Huizhou? Brother Xiao'an?
They went through all the kids he usually played with, one by one, and then halfway through, they heard someone shout something outside, interrupting the conversation. The little one didn't react and was quickly ushered out.
"Listen, who came to play with you?"
"Little sister, you're back!"
Jiang Ping, who had heard that Jian Dan was back, had specially brought her child over. The first thing she said upon seeing him was…
"How are you? I heard you got into a fight again?"
Jiang Ping and Commander Lin have been together for so long, and regardless of whether their relationship has developed, they have gotten along quite well. Jiang Ping is not the type to be quick-tempered or competitive. Commander Lin's only requirement is that she take good care of Xiao An; everything else is negotiable.
So the two of them got along quite well and had a harmonious relationship. Knowing that she had a good relationship with Jian Dan, Commander Lin would occasionally share things with her, so she knew about Jian Dan's return as soon as she arrived.
This matter has been widely discussed, and it's only now that it's happening. If it were ten or twenty years from now, when transportation and communication are more advanced, people from all around would probably know about it. However, here we have telephones, radio broadcasts, and people from the bean product factory traveling back and forth, so this matter is really not a secret here. Moreover, if it weren't for the holidays, it would have already become a case study used by schools to educate children.
In other words, before Simple even returned, it had already become popular again.
Actually, Jian Dan herself didn't know, but with such a big scandal involving human trafficking, it's impossible for it to be completely secret. So it's not surprising that they know.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. It happened suddenly, it wasn't really a fight, it was just a coincidence."
"Come here, Xiao An, let Auntie take a look."
The child was young and lacked companionship. Jiang Ping was gentle and patient. Seeing that Xiao An's personality had become more cheerful, she gently pinched his arm and then his little face.
"You've gotten fatter, Xiao An. Do you miss your auntie? Do you miss your little sister?"
The mere mention of his sister reminded him of the little brat's boastful words earlier, and he immediately felt a headache coming on. He didn't really want to see this little tiger girl, so he quickly waved his hand.
"Go ahead and play. It's right at the gate, but you're not allowed to leave the residential compound, understand? You can only play for a little while, and if you get cold, hurry back inside."
It's harvest season in the county town, but the temperature here is already quite low. Your breath creates a hazy white mist. The family compound has already started winter life. They quickly poured me a cup of hot water as soon as I entered.
"Please sit down, please sit down. You're quite well-informed, aren't you? We just got back and you caught us?"
They started off with jokes, catching Jiang Ping off guard and making her blush instantly.
"Why do you say such things?"
Simple, with an innocent look on her face.
"What did I say? What did I say? I didn't say anything! You're the one who misunderstood!"
After a few words, they quickly inquired about the current situation in the family compound.
"Are you all alright?"
"Good, why not?"
Jiang Ping was very satisfied with her current life. She told her little by little about what had happened in the family compound recently. Now that she was the regimental commander's wife, Jian Dan was away, so she had to take over the affairs of the family compound. Anyway, Wei Kangzhan was there to keep things in check. At most, it would just be women throwing tantrums and fighting, which she had seen before.
