Song Yuzhou was busy making a wooden horse. Jiang Zhining was about to go back to the house to make some snacks for the father and daughter when there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Zhining glanced sideways and saw a man about thirty years old walking in.
"Captain Song." Xia Xiaodong came to Song Yuzhou with a smile, holding pork and some gifts in his hands.
"Captain Xia, is there something wrong?" Song Yuzhou asked in confusion.
"Captain Song, these things are my gifts to your wife and children," Xia Xiaodong said with a smile.
Jiang Zhining heard what Song Yuzhou said and vaguely guessed something when she heard him call her: "Are you Aunt Xia's son?"
Xia Xiaodong nodded: "Yes, today I am here to apologize to the leader and his wife on behalf of my mother and Chunyu."
Song Yuzhou looked at Jiang Zhining in confusion: "What happened?"
Xia Xiaodong lowered his head and said with guilt and self-blame: "Chunyu did something wrong. She pushed Song Ye into the pond."
Hearing this, Song Yuzhou frowned suddenly, his eyes sharp: "Xia Chunyu actually dared to hurt Song Ye."
"Her real purpose is to make Xiaoye get into trouble, so that you can blame me and divorce me." Jiang Zhining added calmly.
"Captain Song, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect her to do such a crazy thing." Xia Xiaodong bowed and apologized again.
Song Yuzhou's face was ashen: "I told her very clearly before that we will not forgive her for doing such a thing. If you want to kill Song Ye, you must accept the punishment of the law."
Xia Xiaodong quickly responded, "Captain Song has misunderstood. I'm not here today to plead for Chunyu. She brought this upon herself, and no one else is to blame. I'm here to ask the captain's wife to spare my mother."
"What did Aunt Xia do again?"
"My mother doted on Chunyu since she was a child, so after she was taken away by the police, she did something extreme to the leader's wife and strangled her."
After Xia Xiaodong finished speaking nervously, he clearly felt that Song Yuzhou's face became even gloomier.
"Captain, my mother is old and in poor health. She's been in detention for the past few days and her blood pressure has risen, and she's fainted several times. Captain, Madam, please forgive her this time for my sake."
Jiang Zhining looked at Song Yuzhou, as if asking for his opinion.
Song Yuzhou held Jiang Zhining's hand and said seriously, "Captain Xia, take your things back."
"Captain Song, my mother truly knows she was wrong. She was terrified when she heard she was going to jail. She was simply impulsive that day and did the wrong thing. Please give her a chance, considering she helped take care of the children before."
Xia Xiaodong didn't want to beg Song Yuzhou like this, but she was his old mother and he couldn't just sit back and watch.
"No." Song Yuzhou said calmly, "Captain Xia, in the barracks, if you do something wrong, you will be punished by military law, no matter how old you are. This is even more true outside the barracks."
Xia Xiaodong begged again and again, but Song Yuzhou refused to give in.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaodong, knowing that he was in the wrong, had to give up and left angrily.
After Xia Xiaodong left, Song Yuzhou raised his hand and placed it on her slender white neck: "Does it hurt?"
Jiang Zhining nodded: "It was quite painful at the time."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Song Yuzhou's eyes were full of self-blame. So many things happened at home, but he was not at home and failed to support them.
Jiang Zhining hugged his muscular waist and playfully replied, "It's all been resolved. Telling you will only make you worry."
Song Yuzhou stroked her cheek gently: "If you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, be sure to tell me."
"I know." Jiang Zhining said sweetly, standing on tiptoe and happily rubbing his tall nose. "Just now I thought you would do me a favor."
"No." Song Yuzhou answered without hesitation.
"Why? You're all comrades, aren't you afraid that this will ruin your relationship?"
As far as she knew, soldiers valued comradeship very much.
"Because she hurt you, I won't condone it." Song Yuzhou said truthfully, "Otherwise, others will think that you can be bullied at will."
Hearing his explanation, Jiang Zhining raised the corner of her mouth and pinched his cheek: "Not bad."
Just as Song Yuzhou thought, when Xia Xiaodong left dejectedly with his things, the neighbors in the military compound all had a common understanding in their hearts, which was not to provoke Jiang Zhining.
Otherwise, it would be useless to ask Song Yuzhou for help.
When the two were in the midst of their affectionate love, Xixi's voice like a silver bell rang out: "Mom, mom."
The two of them turned around at the same time and saw Xixi running towards them in a dirty state.
"Why are you covered in mud?" Jiang Zhining was surprised.
Xixi spread out her hands like a baby, and saw a clay figure lying in her palm.
"Mom, this is a clay figurine made by Xixi. It's for you." Xixi said sweetly.
Jiang Zhining was surprised: "You were working there for so long, just for this?"
Xixi nodded vigorously and said proudly, "This is what my brother taught me. Does mom like it?"
Looking at the not-so-beautiful clay figurine, and then at the expectation in Xixi's eyes, Jiang Zhining squatted down and took it with a smile: "It's a very cute clay figurine. Mom likes it."
Seeing that she liked it, Xixi jumped for joy. Then she leaned forward and kissed Jiang Zhining on the cheek with her saliva-covered mouth, saying softly and coquettishly, "Xixi likes mommy."
With a glimmer in her eyes, Jiang Zhining hugged her back: "Mom likes Xixi too."
Xixi hugged Jiang Zhining's neck with both hands, and was careful not to let his dirty claws touch her.
From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Zhining has never felt the warmth of a family, and she doesn't know what it feels like to live with a family.
Now, looking at the cute Xixi and seeing Song Yuzhou who took good care of her, she vaguely understood what it felt like to have a home.
Seeing this, Song Yuzhou felt sad: he felt that Jiang Zhining's eyes when looking at Xixi were more gentle.
Captain Song, feeling jealous, grabbed the collar of a little potato.
"You little dirty bastard, go take a shower quickly and don't dirty my wife's beautiful clothes." Song Yuzhou said sullenly.
Xixi put her hands on her chubby waist and said fiercely, "Dad, you have to say she's Xixi's mother, not your wife."
"Little fool, she is my wife first, and then your mother. Without me, she would not want to be your mother."
"Dad is bad and lied to Xixi. Mommy should tell him who you belong to." Xixi pointed at Song Yuzhou with his chubby little paw and said domineeringly.
Jiang Zhining was amused by the interesting interaction between the father and daughter: "Xixi is so well-behaved, of course I belong to Xixi."
"..." Song Yuzhou, so will love disappear?
The victorious Xixi made a face towards Song Yuzhou happily, "Lululu~"
As a result, because his hands were covered with mud, the fair little face became even dirtier.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhining and Song Yuzhou smiled at the same time.
