Chapter 110
Jiang Nian asked Shu Xue and the others to go back first. She followed the guard to the booth to answer the phone. As soon as she put the receiver to her ear, she heard a familiar voice: "Is that Jiang Nian?"
It was Captain Lu's voice.
Jiang Nian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "It's me." She paused and talked about Lu Yu calling him a few days ago. Captain Lu said: "The comrades in the station told me."
"Sister-in-law."
Captain Lu suddenly changed the name, and his voice became a little more serious: "There is something I didn't have time to tell Captain Lu. I took Xu Yan away. I am with her. She is now at my house, with my mother and children."
Jiang Nian: ???
She was stunned for a long time before she digested what Lu Guosheng said: "You mean, you and Xu Yan are married?"
Captain Lu said: "Well, I discussed it with Xu Yan when I left some time ago. I was thinking that I would take her to Yuan City to find you and Captain Lu after I was done with my work, but I didn't expect Captain Lu to call first."
Jiang Nian was still a little dazed after hanging up the phone with Captain Lu.
She had always thought that it was impossible for two people to be together. She had guessed for more than ten days that the man who took Xu Yan away was Captain Lu. When Jiang Nian was about to reach the intersection of the regiment headquarters and the family building, she met Lu Yu and the guards who ran out from inside. Jiang Nian said, "I talked to Captain Lu."
Lu Yu walked to her side: "What did he say?"
Jiang Nian smiled: "Guess."
Lu Yu: ...
Jiang Nian gave him a message: "He knows where Xu Yan is."
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and immediately understood: "Xu Yan is with him." In Jiang Nian's surprised eyes, he continued: "Are they married?"
Jiang Nian: ...
I have to say that Lu Yu's brain is really smart, he understood it at a glance, She said, "I never thought they could be together."
Now everyone's development is contrary to the ending in the book. Fortunately, Xu Yan had a good ending, Mrs. Feng's family was happy, and the people around her were getting better and better. Jiang Nian looked at Lu Yu: "Captain Lu said he would bring Xu Yan to Yuanshi to find us at the end of the month."
Lu Yu had something to do in the regiment and went back. Jiang Nian returned to the family building alone and met Chen Ping and the two children in the corridor. From Chen Ping, she learned that Mrs. Lan fell down the stairs while climbing the stairs to the blind scanning class this morning and injured her waist. She is now lying in the county hospital. Chen Ping has just returned from the county hospital.
Jiang Nian told Shu Xue about this. The two of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lot of things and went to the county hospital to see Lan Saozi. Lan Saozi had no one to take care of her at home after the fall. Jiang Nian asked He Ming and He Bing to eat at home these days. He also made two meals and put them in lunch boxes, and asked the two children to deliver them to He Tuanzhang and Lan Saozi. Shu Xue was not idle either. Lan Saozi injured the muscles on her waist. She massaged Lan Saozi according to the doctor's instructions.
With the care of Jiang Nian's food supplements and Shu Xue's massage, Lan Saozi recovered well.
On the day Sister Lan was discharged from the hospital, she held Jiang Nian and Shu Xue's hands tightly and refused to let go, with red eyes. After she fell and was injured, some military wives came to see her, but most of them just took a look and left. No one could take care of her as attentively as Jiang Nian and Shu Xue, especially Jiang Nian, who not only took care of her, but also helped her take care of her family.
Lan Hui patted Jiang Nian's hand and said, "Lu Yu's greatest blessing in his life is marrying you."
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "I told Lu Yu this."
Lan Hui smiled, "Just tell him that I said it. If he dares to bully you, Lao He and I will be the first to not forgive him."
Shu Xue smiled and said, "Sister Lan, what if Chen Yao bullies me?"
Lan Hui said, "If that kid dares to bully you, I will teach him a lesson with a stick."
Shu Xue supported Lan Hui and nodded confidently, "I feel confident with what Sister Lan said."
The two of them took Lan Hui out of the hospital. She can now walk slowly without any problem, but she can't exercise too much and needs to rest slowly. Captain Lu and Xu Yan came at the end of the month
.
They did not bring their children. Before coming, they specially called Lu Yu and he arranged things in advance, so that they would have more free time on the day when Captain Lu came.
Half a year later, Jiang Nian saw Xu Yan again.
She had changed significantly compared to half a year ago. Her clothes were no longer the gray coat with patches. Her hair was much shorter and tied into two buns with two lighter-colored hair flowers on them. Her face looked much better than before. The sadness and depression between her eyebrows disappeared, replaced by a cheerful smile.
Since she knew Xu Yan, this was the first time she saw Xu Yan smile so beautifully. It was a real smile that came from the heart.
Next to her stood Captain Lu, who lowered his head. I don't know what he said to Xu Yan, but Xu Yan laughed even more happily.
"Xu Yan."
Jiang Nian called out and ran out of the unit quickly. Lu Yu followed behind her, afraid that she would not look at the road and fall.
"Jiang Nian——"
Xu Yan also ran over and hugged Jiang Nian. Too many things happened in the past six months. She had a quarrel with Liu Qiang and wanted a divorce. She thought about committing suicide, but she couldn't bear to do it when she thought of her two children who were lonely. She had endured the pain day after day until now. If Lu Guosheng hadn't come to find her that day, she might have taken her two children to drink rat poison.
Captain Lu looked at the two women hugging each other, then looked away at Lu Yu who was walking towards them, with a smile on his face: "Captain Lu, long time no see." Lu
Yu's eyebrows also smiled: "Long time no see."
He went to the guard to sign, and took Captain Lu and Xu Yan into the family building. Lu Yu talked to Captain Lu along the way, and Xu Yan held Jiang Nian's hand and talked about the experience of the past six months. They arrived home before they said a few words. Captain Lu brought a lot of things this time, including the pickles made by the old lady.
Liu Jianye and Liu Jianwu are now following the old lady, and the three children of Lu Zhijun are all in the county to go to school.
Knowing that Captain Lu was coming today, Jiang Nian specially prepared good dishes. At the dinner table, before Jiang Nian asked, Xu Yan told him about her divorce with Liu Qiang.
The first time Liu Qiang came back, he quarreled with Xu Yan because he sent all the money home without informing Xu Yan in advance. It happened that Liu Jianye was sick with a fever, and Xu Yan couldn't take out the money. Liu Qiang didn't care. Because of this, Xu Yan and Liu Qiang had a big quarrel. The two of them started fighting, and the fight was pulled apart by Captain Lu and Zhu Jun.
Xu Yan had no other requests, she just wanted Liu Qiang to give her money, so Liu Qiang gave her five yuan, saying that the family was in urgent need and had sent all the money back. He couldn't be an unfilial son and ignore his mother's accident. He established his reputation as a filial son, so he left the sick Liu Jianye and left the next day.
Liu Jianye had a fever and caused pneumonia. Xu Yan had no way to borrow money from the old lady. The old lady asked Battalion Commander Lu to carry Liu Jianye to the county hospital for medical treatment. She took care of Liu Jianwu and Lu Zhijun at home. Because of this, she asked Lu Battalion Commander Tong He was in love with Xu Yan and was busy taking care of their mother and son. From sympathy to heartache at the beginning, he finally started to have thoughts that he shouldn't have. He was afraid of ruining Xu Yan's reputation, so he didn't care about anything at home. Let your mother help you.
Later, after a few months, Liu Qiang came back. Xu Yan asked Liu Qiang to return the money to Captain Lu. Liu Qiang said that his father was ill and his family had no money to treat the illness, so he sent all his salary back home. At that time, It was winter and there was not much food at home. Three mouths were waiting for food, so Liu Qiang gave Xu Yan ten yuan, which was not enough to pay back Captain Lu.
Xu Yan couldn't stand it anymore, and after a big fight with Liu Qiang, she filed for divorce. Liu Qiang followed Xu Yan's words and filed a divorce application report that day. Both children had to live with Xu Yan. Liu Qiang gave Xu Yan fifty He gave Liu Qiang 100 yuan, saying that it was all his money. The day after the divorce, he sent Xu Yan and the child back to her parents' home and never visited the mother and the child again.
Jiang Nian was very angry when she heard what Liu Qiang did. Captain Lu sat on the sidelines in
silence, but the veins on his forehead showed his anger.
Lu Yu looked at Captain Lu, who continued what Xu Yan said: "After Liu Qiang sent Xu Yan away, he resigned from the family compound. I asked my mother to visit Xu Yan's parents several times. They said that the three of them were not living well.
They heard from the villagers that Xu Yan's mother wanted to marry Xu Yan to an old bachelor in the village and drive them out. Xu Yan, seeing tears falling from her face, lowered her head and said, "I went to Xu Yan's parents' home early the next morning, told the Xu family my identity, gave them 100 yuan, and asked the team members to testify. I can’t bother with Xu Yan and her son anymore, so I took them away.”
He felt distressed when he thought of the day when he went to Xu’s house and saw Xu Yan’s appearance, she looked even more haggard than when she was at home.
She was obviously his biological mother, but she did things that even a stepmother could not do.
On the night he married Xu Yan, Xu Yan cried and told him that if he didn't come to see her that day, she would take Two children dying outside.
Jiang Nian held Xu Yan's hand tightly with a distressed look on his face, his voice choking with sobs: "It's all over, and things will get better and better in the future."
Captain Lu wiped his face, his palms a little wet, and smiled at Xu Yan. Dao: "I still say the same thing. If I have a bite to eat, you three mothers will have a bite to eat. I guarantee that you will not be cold or hungry. Don't think about the past. Let's live our own lives now. That's all."
Xu Yan nodded: "Okay."
Jiang Nian knew from the beginning that Captain Lu and his mother were good people who understood things, and it was a good thing that Xu Yan could be a couple with Captain Lu. After dinner
, Lu Yu asked Captain Lu to go around the regiment, leaving Jiang Nian and Xu Yan some space alone.
The two exchanged many heartfelt words at home, and agreed to go to Dongshi Feng's place to celebrate the New Year together.
Lu Yu and Captain Lu returned only when it was dark. Lu Yu brought back some meat from the food station. Jiang Nian cooked by herself, and Xu Yan helped her. In the evening, Captain Lu and Lu Yu drank some wine. Captain Lu drank a little too much and said to Lu Yu and Jiang Nian at the table, "I will have a good life." As for Xu Yan, she would not let her suffer any injustice, and would also treat Liu Jianye and Liu Jianwu as his own sons, provide them with education, and find wives for them.
Since Jiang Nian met Captain Lu, he knew that he was always a man of few words . , I said a lot tonight, which is unprecedented.
At the end of the sentence, she moved to Xu Yan's side, grabbed Xu Yan's hand, and kissed her palm. Xu Yan's face turned red suddenly, and she couldn't even take her hand out even though she tried so hard. Battalion Commander Lu He burped and said: "Yan'er, do you still remember what I said on the wedding night?"
