Geng Ailing suddenly stopped talking halfway, fearing that her guess was wrong and inappropriate.
Xie Yongliang had no idea what Geng Ailing was thinking, so he said directly, "You are talking about Nian Nian, right? She is the daughter of my comrade-in-arms. We were on a mission together at the time, and he helped me block a bullet and died. Before he died, he entrusted his only daughter to me."
Geng Ailing suddenly realized, "What about Niannian's mother?"
"He died of illness when he was three years old!" Xie Yongliang replied.
Geng Ailing didn't expect Niannian to be so pitiful, and she felt a little sad. She was easily soft-hearted, and she felt very sad when she thought about Niannian losing her parents at such a young age.
"It's so pitiful that Niannian lost her parents at such a young age. You must take good care of her!"
"I will!" Xie Yongliang's tone was full of determination.
The two fell silent again...
Geng Ailing felt that the atmosphere was even more awkward than before. She didn't even dare to look directly at Xie Yongliang, and quickly said, "Then you should go back and accompany Niannian! Call Niannian and Lihua next time, and we'll have dinner together!"
After saying that, without waiting for Xie Yongliang to react, he pushed his bicycle and ran away like the wind.
Xie Yongliang was left standing there, shaking his head and laughing helplessly.
…
After a few days, Su Wen was finally discharged from the hospital. That day, Fan Hua and Geng Ailing went to the hospital together to pick up Su Wen.
Zhang Shaoyuan carefully pushed Su Wen on his bicycle in front, fearing that she would get hurt by the knife. Fan Hua and Geng Ailing walked behind to help carry things.
When preparing to go upstairs, Zhang Shaoyuan refused Su Wen's request to climb the stairs by herself, and instead gave her a princess hug.
Su Wen was a little embarrassed and buried her head in Zhang Shaoyuan's arms, "I can go by myself, Lihua and Ailing are still here, how embarrassing."
Zhang Shaoyuan said nothing, but just held Su Wen tightly, afraid that he would drop her.
Fan Hua and Geng Ailing, who were following behind, were fed up with dog food. They could not believe that Editor Zhang, who was usually cold and taciturn, doted on his wife so much in private. No wonder Su Wen always looked so happy because of love.
Fan Hua smiled secretly and pulled Geng Ailing past Wen Yuan and his wife and went upstairs first. When passing by Su Wen, she did not forget to wink mischievously.
However, I didn’t expect to meet Cai Ronghua who was about to go downstairs when I reached the second floor.
He is the neighbor who looks very much like the dean of studies and lives in the first household on the second floor.
Ever since they were rejected by Cai Ronghua when they offered him chicken soup last time, Fan Hua and Geng Ailing were too lazy to bother trying to please him. Occasionally, when they met in the building, they would just pretend not to see him and simply walk away.
Cai Ronghua certainly didn't have a good look on his face when he saw them this time, and the three of them ignored each other.
However, before Fan Hua and the others had taken a few steps, they heard Cai Ronghua's sarcastic voice on the stairs: "I was wondering why Editor Zhang always asks for leave recently, it turns out that his wife is sick!"
"Su Wen, I heard you had appendicitis. It's been almost a week. You can walk on your own now. Why are you so squeamish when you let Editor Zhang carry you up the stairs?"
Su Wen was so angry that her face darkened instantly. She replied unhappily, "My man just likes to hug me. I'm just a spoiled child. What's it to you? I didn't hurt you."
Cai Ronghua couldn't help but raise his voice when he heard Su Wen's words, "The corridor is so narrow, if you want to be affectionate, go home and be affectionate, don't be so affectionate outside, it's disgusting to people, don't you feel ashamed!"
Su Wen's face turned red with anger. In order to have enough strength to argue, she asked Zhang Shaoyuan to put her down. She leaned on Zhang Shaoyuan and said, "What's there to be ashamed of, Aunt Cai? Didn't you want to introduce your daughter to Shaoyuan at the beginning, but Shaoyuan didn't like her? Now you feel bad for seeing our loving couple. Don't you look at yourself? Even if your daughter is good, she will feel uncomfortable with a sarcastic mother like you!"
The sound of their quarrel attracted many neighbors to come and watch, even Cai Ronghua's husband came out. He stood beside Cai Ronghua embarrassedly and pulled her, trying to make her say less.
