Chapter 148

Winter 1973.

Shang Nanchen's blind date failed, and he returned to the army alone with his two children.

He was very busy and could only let the two children eat in the cafeteria.

Fortunately, the child is very sensible.

This saved Shang Nanchen a lot of worry.

Tiedan is full of thorns and can't play with his younger brother or other kids of the same age.

Until the end of the year, there were two more children in the family.

Xie Lingxiu is the oldest and takes care of his three younger brothers. He usually studies hard and just wants to graduate quickly and go back to his grandparents.

They also grow vegetables in their yard, but they are just ordinary vegetables.

Three years later, the policy changed.

Jingfeng will be under strict surveillance when he returns, and he will not have the chance to go back to see his daughter until he is sure that there is no problem.

Jing Daming was wearing a brand new blue jacket, and when he met Jingfeng's eyes, his gaze was evasive.

"The child caught a cold and had a fever soon after. When she woke up in the morning, she was dead. The old lady was like a madman. It was only after I sent my daughter over that she got better."

Jing Daming wiped away a tear as he spoke: "Fortunately, the old lady was in good health and only passed away last year."

Jingfeng remained expressionless throughout.

Jingfeng did not trust Jing Daming and investigated secretly.

But there were few people with surnames other than their own in Jingjia Village, so Jingfeng couldn't find anything no matter how hard he tried. Jingfeng felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out the reason, so he didn't give up.

How could his daughter die young?

Jingfeng’s first reaction was how is it possible!

How could his daughter die?

Jingfeng couldn't find out anything about his own daughter, so he investigated the child his mother raised.

He found out that Jing Daming's daughter worked in a pharmaceutical factory, but she got married for no reason.

It's okay to get married, but how could she not even want a job?

How promising is it to work in a pharmaceutical factory?

Doesn't this clearly tell people that there is a problem?

Jingfeng found the Zhou family, and the Zhou family insisted that Jingxian had run away.

What does Ke Jingfeng do?

How could I not see that there was something wrong with the Zhou family?

In the middle of the night, he personally led people to sneak into Zhou's house, found Jing Xian, who was already dead and unconscious, in the cellar, and brought her out of the cellar.

Jing Xian was covered in wounds and her leg was broken.

She didn't talk to anyone and was frightened by the sight of men and older women.

Jingfeng looked at Jingxian lying on the hospital bed and recognized at a glance that Jingxian was his daughter.

She looks very much like her mother, but she is prettier than her mother.

Jingfeng is not someone who can tolerate.

He used all the connections he could to lock up all the members of the Zhou family. Including that idiot, the old woman of the Zhou family, and Jing Daming and his wife, they were all shot to death.

Jingfeng lived in the old courtyard house with his daughter until one day, a new family moved in next door.

The family consisted of a man and four children, but there was no hostess.

Jingfeng learned that the man was a soldier who divorced early and raised his children by himself. The other two were adopted.

This time I came back to bring my two children back to see my grandparents.

Jingfeng became familiar with the family after a few visits.

When the weather is good, Jingfeng takes his daughter out and puts her on a bench in the yard to let her bask in the sun.

Shang Nanchen had to go to the border and the child had to stay here, so he planned to ask the older brother from the neighboring family to help take care of the child.

As a result, when he walked into the yard, he saw the girl sleeping on the bench.

For some reason, Shang Nanchen couldn't take his eyes off the girl.

Jingfeng came out of the house and saw this scene and said, "This is my daughter. I thought she was alive and well. But more than a year after I rescued her, she is still like this."

Shang Nanchen asked politely: "Can I ask what happened?"

Under normal circumstances, he would not do such a rude thing.

I don't know why today

Well, I just want to know everything about her.

After Jingfeng finished telling Shang Nanchen about what Jing Daming had done and what those beasts in the Zhou family had done, he found that Shang Nanchen's face was as pale as paper and his lips were bloodless.

"Xiao Shang, are you okay?"

Shang Nanchen shook his head: "It's nothing, I just had a sudden palpitation."

"Are you having a heart attack? I'll have the guards drive you to the hospital for a checkup," Jingfeng said.

Shang Nanchen shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with my heart. I don't know what happened just now."

He didn't tell Jingfeng that he acted like this after hearing about Jingxian's past.

"Is your heart really okay?" Jingfeng was a little worried.

Shang Nanchen said: "It's really nothing, I just need to take a rest."

Not far away, Jing Xian opened her eyes and looked over blankly.

After Shang Nanchen left, she kept staring at the door.

Jingfeng was startled: "Xiaoxian, are you looking at the person who just came to our house?"

Jingfeng had no hope at first.

He's used to his daughter ignoring him.

Unexpectedly, Jing Xian actually nodded at him.

Jingfeng was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed.

He suppressed his inner excitement, fearing that he would scare his daughter, and asked in a very restrained and low voice: "Do you want to know his name?"

Jing Xian nodded again.

Jingfeng said excitedly: "His name is Shang Nanchen, and he is a soldier."

Jing Xian's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Jingfeng asked again: "Do you want to go to his house? He lives next door to us."

Jing Xian hesitated for a moment and looked at Jing Feng anxiously.

Jingfeng said: "You can stand up and go and see for yourself."

My daughter's leg has healed a long time ago.

She forgot to walk.

When she heard Jingfeng say this, she still looked doubtful.

However, with Jingfeng's encouragement, she slowly stood up, and Jingfeng supported her to prevent her from falling. He watched her hesitate for a long time, took the first step, hesitated again, and took the second step.

Jingfeng secretly wiped away his tears in excitement: "Xiao Xian is really amazing."

Jing Xian seemed not to hear anything and continued to move forward.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Jingfeng seemed to see his daughter being reborn.

Jingfeng came back from home and met Jingxian at the door.

Jing Xian looked at him and smiled faintly.

Shang Nanchen was stunned for a moment.

The two just looked at each other, no one spoke.

It was the first time that Jingfeng saw his daughter react so strongly to the outside world.

"Hello, comrade."

After Shang Nanchen finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself to see what he was saying.

He didn't know why he was so nervous.

Jing Xian's eyes were full of curiosity: "My name is Jing Xian."

"My name is Shang Nanchen, I..."

Shang Nanchen thought about going to the battlefield and didn't say anything else.

He felt something was wrong with him.

Shang Nanchen forced himself to turn his gaze to Jingfeng and said solemnly: "I will go to the battlefield tomorrow. There are only a few children at home, and there is no one else to take care of them. I would like to ask you to take time to visit them on weekdays. If...if I can't come back, I will trouble you to take care of them for a few more years until the eldest one comes of age."

Jingfeng was stunned. He saw his daughter's condition and knew that the police would help her recovery. Shang Nanchen wanted to tell Shang Nanchen not to go to the battlefield and stay.

But as a warrior who had resolutely left this land for more than 20 years for the sake of his country, he could not say these words no matter what.

More than 20 years ago, for the sake of the country, he chose to send the girl back to his hometown.

More than 20 years later, he still chose to keep silent for the sake of the country and let Shang Nanchen go, preferring that his daughter be taken care of like this for the rest of her life.

the next day

Shang Nanchen went to the border.

Walk

He came to the Jing family specially a few days ago. Jing Feng was not at home. Jing Xian was sitting alone under the corridor. When she saw him coming, her eyes lit up.

"I'm leaving," he said.

Jing Xian nodded slightly.

"You need to get better soon," he added.

She still nodded quietly.

He knew she might not be able to speak, so he turned to leave, but found that she was holding onto his clothes.

There was a red cloth bag clenched in her fair hands. She handed the small red cloth bag to him and asked him to wear it.

Shang Nanchen didn't want it, Jingfeng came out from behind and said, "That's the amulet he has carried with him since he was a child, you can wear it."

Shang Nanchen wanted to refuse, but then he heard Jingfeng say again: "Come back alive."

"I'll try my best."

Shang Nanchen left without looking back.

Jingfeng watched his daughter staring at Shang Nanchen's back for a long time without coming back to her senses.

"He's gone to the battlefield and can't make any promises to you. He came to see you before he left, which shows that he cares about you. You have to get better soon. Then when he comes back, you can go to greet him and say whatever you want to say to him."

Jingfeng didn't know whether what he said would work or not.

From that day on, Jingxian began to change little by little. She tried to walk and tried to speak.

I no longer have to sit up all night long when I am awakened by nightmares.

She would ask Jingfeng to get him some professional medical books.

Jingxian began to try to learn and exercise every day, and her physical condition changed visibly.

Jingfeng asked the three children next door to come to his house for dinner every day. He would tell Jingxian: "These are Shang Nanchen's sons."

He wanted to tell his daughter what happened to Shang Nanchen before.

The rest depends on her own choice.

But he didn't expect that after Jing Xian recovered, she would prepare every meal carefully.

Several children grew taller and fatter visibly.

They are very attached to Jingxian. They will tell Jingxian interesting things happening outside and tell jokes to make her happy.

I would go for walks with her.

Until one day, a kid asked awkwardly, "Can I call you mom?"

This kind of life lasted for half a year.

Shang Nanchen made contributions, was promoted, and also suffered injuries.

This was the first time Jing Xian made a request to Jing Feng.

"Dad, I want to go see him."

Jingxian left.

She went to the battlefield, and as a pharmacist, her arrival was welcomed by everyone.

She is very familiar with the properties of medicinal herbs and is good at growing them.

Jing Xian cannot increase the output of medicinal materials or enhance their medicinal properties, but she can make many precious wild medicinal materials available for cultivation by local people.

Shang Nanchen's injury healed and he went back to the battlefield.

It's just that the subsequent fighters are not as dangerous as the previous ones.

He specifically called Jingfeng and the children, obtained consent from both families, and proposed to Jingxian.

Three years later.

Jingfeng was promoted and transferred back to the capital.

Jing Xian got out of the car with her two children. Looking at her father and three children who came to pick her up, she felt that this scene was familiar.

"This scene seems to have happened in my previous life."

On the fifth day after she returned, she was watching TV at home when a female scholar with an outstanding temperament appeared on TV.

"Dad, come here!"

Jingfeng came to the TV, saw the lady receiving the award, and walked out without looking back.

Jing Xian knew that the woman might be her long-missing mother.

The first half of her life was full of ups and downs, but the second half was so happy that I dare not even think about it.

But, it’s great!!
