Chapter 20 The obedient and soft little girl



"That was the person who helped take you to the hospital when you were sick that day...his surname was Yu."

"Yu?" Grandma was unconscious that day, so she didn't know who helped her. She asked anxiously, "Then what?"

"Then..." Shen Rongrong's eyes turned red again when she mentioned this: "When I went to the Woniu Mountain in the east to collect mountain products, I accidentally fell and fainted, and he saved me..."

She told her grandmother exactly what happened on the mountain and what she said to the nurses.

After saying this, she almost collapsed and cried and complained: "He saved me several times...but I don't even know his full name. I want to carve a tablet to commemorate him, but I can't..."

Even when she heard that it was not her grandson who died, the grandmother frowned because of this matter. She suddenly understood why the obedient and soft little girl suddenly changed.

"Good child," Grandma said to Shen Rongrong in a tone that became several degrees heavier: "Stop crying. Go and call your dad in."

"……yes."

Shen Rongrong responded with sobs, pushed the door open and stuck her head out. She saw her father hugging his wife, kissing her cheek and trying to calm her down, but she was too embarrassed to say anything.

After a few seconds of hesitation, I heard my grandmother behind me shouting, "Chen Guozhong!"

Chen Guozhong, who was hugging his wife and coaxing her, stood up immediately when he heard the voice and answered in a loud voice: "Here!"

Shen Rongrong was shocked.

"What are you doing..." Guan Hanyu poked him with her elbow with red cheeks and followed him into the room.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Guozhong. Last time when you said you went to the police station to help bail out that comrade's child, didn't that girl say she met Chen Yu? She said he was in a hurry to go to Dongshantou for a mission, so she gave her the passbook?"

Chen Guozhong nodded repeatedly: "Yes."

"We must criticize him when he comes back!" Grandma was so angry that she slapped her hand on her sick bed: "You can tell others military secrets at random. It may indirectly kill a comrade, do you know that?"

Shen Rongrong was confused when she heard this: "No... Grandma, it's not him."

"It's him!" Grandma confirmed the answer firmly: "How could your sister know about military matters out of thin air? He said it! Criticize him!"

"Yes! Criticize him!" Chen Guozhong didn't know what happened, and he didn't dare to ask more. He could only coax his wife and mother, and followed the old woman's words: "Wait until I go to ask him where he is now in the evening! What happened specifically! If this is true! I will inform the superiors and remove his position!!"

"Go now! Do it hard!" Grandma chased her son away, turned to look at Shen Rongrong, and patted her chest: "Okay, since you are the daughter-in-law of our Chen family now, and you also said that you will be devoted to our family in the future, grandma will never let you suffer any loss!"

"Grandma..." Shen Rongrong was so moved that she rushed over and hugged her grandmother and burst into tears: "It's my sister who is so bad! Woo! It's not him!"

Grandma looked at the little girl who had been holding her breath since she came back, and now she had let go of her grievances and returned to her original state. She sighed with tears in her eyes, touched her head and comforted her gently.

"It seems that you are serious about your vows. You are protecting your husband even before you get married. But no matter if it is him or not, your father has a reason to ask, and you can get an answer. Just like you said... maybe you can carve a tablet and leave a favor, right?"

"……right."

Shen Rongrong didn't expect that her grandmother could understand her to this extent. She sniffed and nodded, then her grandmother hugged her and patted her.

Seeing that her grandmother seemed to be persuaded by Shen Rongrong, Chen Yan wanted to go over and say something with an unhappy expression, but was stopped by Guan Hanyu.

"Okay, wait until your brother comes back, this is none of your business, go back to school."

"But……"

“Go to school!”

"Mom..." Chen Yan couldn't hold back her breath and finally burst into tears. She wiped her tears while picking up her small bag: "It's late at night...where can I go to school...wuuuu..."

"You can go to school wherever you want." Guan Hanyu silently took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and stuffed the rest of the change to Chen Yan: "Is it enough to pay the tuition?"

Chen Yan looked at the money in her hand and smiled, "It would be even better if you could give me some pocket money."

Guan Hanyu pretended to fight, and Chen Yan quickly left the ward.

Guan Hanyu knew very well what the result of this marriage would be if her son did not return, so she did not stop this cheap daughter-in-law who also came from the Shen family, but she did not take the initiative either.

"Okay, you stay and take care of grandma. I have to go out for something and will be back in the evening."

"Go ahead and pretend! Go ahead and pretend!" The old lady sat on the bed and ruthlessly exposed her: "You are just anxious to go out and find Guozhong! You leave me alone."

"...That's not a person." Guan Hanyu snorted softly, pursed her lips and smiled as she pressed the remaining two hundred yuan under the lunch box on the table: "Don't you like this granddaughter-in-law? Let her serve you."

After saying that, he quickly picked up his bag and left.

"See?" Grandma pointed at the figure in the corridor and said, "This is my husband who is in the army. I only see him a few times a year. He is in his forties or fifties and still not tired of him."

"Very good." Shen Rongrong also liked the straightforwardness of this family when she was reading the book, and repeated Guan Hanyu's words in the original book: "Use it sparingly, and it will still be new after a lifetime of use."

"Oh, don't be ashamed." The old lady actually understood and waved her hands in front of her: "I won't talk to you anymore..."

When Shen Rongrong saw her grandmother lying down, she realized that there was another meaning to these words. She touched her ears, which were instantly burning hot, and quietly went to clean up the leftover lunch boxes on the table.

When she came back, she saw that her grandmother had fallen asleep under the quilt, so she walked in carefully and lay down in the vacant bed next door to rest.

Later in the middle of the night, grandma turned over.

Just as Shen Rongrong was about to get up and take a look, she heard low voices. She listened carefully and found that her grandmother was covered in the quilt and talking softly.

"Old Chen... You may not believe this, but when it came to our marriage with Old Shen's granddaughter, the matchmaker didn't ask how many girls there were in his family, and decided that the eldest girl would be the one. As a result, whoever was destined to be the wife got it, and the eldest girl didn't want us, so we replaced her with the second girl. Hey, I forgot to show you before, take a look this time..."

As he spoke, he lifted the quilt a little bit, and an old photo peeked out and looked in Shen Rongrong's direction.

Soon, the photo was returned, and grandma's laughter could be heard from under the quilt: "She is so fair and clean, like a lucky doll, right?... She speaks in a soft and gentle voice, your eldest grandson is so lucky..."

Shen Rongrong wiped her face.

I feel like I should say hello to grandpa, but I really... can't open my mouth.

After a while, grandma started snoring.

The sleep of the elderly is relatively fragmented, and it is normal for them to sleep for a while and not sleep for a while.

But when Shen Rongrong went over to tuck in her grandmother, she saw the old photo in her hand that had been retouched with snail liquid last time.

Looking at the grandfather up there... Shen Rongrong suddenly felt...

Grandpa Chen’s temperament is very similar to Mr. Yu’s.

So with 'militarized management, unified appearance'...will all soldiers in the world gradually look similar?

After scratching her head, Shen Rongrong lay down in confusion and continued to sleep.

Then all night long I dreamed of Grandpa, Dad and Mr. Fish spinning around in my dream.

It was not until the next morning, after serving grandma breakfast, that Dad Chen came back and brought back the news that grandma asked him to investigate.
