Hearing the commotion, Nao Nao looked to the side. Seeing people rushing towards them, he picked up his sister and said, "Teng Teng, hold your brother. Zuo Zuo, You You, run! Lü Hui, Zhao Jun, run!"
Upon hearing this, Tengteng immediately picked up his younger brother.
In the blink of an eye, Lü Hui and Zhao Jun were all alone.
Lu Hui hesitated for a moment, then ran after him.
When the old woman rushed over, Zhao Jun was the only one left on the ridge. Just as Zhao Jun tried to run, the old woman grabbed him. Panting, she said, "Nao... Nao Nao, Teng... Teng Teng, don't... don't run. Your uncle is... my daughter's... son-in-law."
Zhao Jun: "You...you let me go."
Liu Shufen was afraid that Zhao Jun would run away if she let him go: "Good boy, let Grandma help you. Nao Nao, Tengteng, come back. I am your uncle's mother-in-law."
Nao Nao and Tengteng are twins, and this place is a military region. When Liu Shufen heard someone call Nao Nao, she wondered if it was her son-in-law's nephew. Upon seeing it, Liu Shufen felt she could finally escape her misery. "Nao Nao, Tengteng, come back. I really am your uncle's mother-in-law. You...you've forgotten? You used to call me 'Grandma'."
Nao Nao looked back and saw that the old lady had stopped, so she put her sister on the ridge.
Tengteng also put his younger brother down.
Lu Hui looked at Zhao Jun and asked, "Why aren't you running?"
"I...I didn't react."
Lu Hui walked over and shoved Liu Shufen, saying, "Let go of my brother."
The farm was large, and Lü Hui often brought his soldiers there for leisure. Therefore, everyone on the farm knew Lü Hui and knew he was Commander Lü's grandson.
Liu Shufen dared not provoke Lü Hui: "Huihui, you are friends with Naonao and Tengteng, right? I am their grandmother."
Lu Hui looked at Nao Nao and Tengteng.
Nao Nao: "She scared my sister. We're not playing here anymore."
Liu Shufen quickly said, "Naonao, Tengteng, I really am your uncle..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lü Hui glared at her and shouted, "Let go of my brother!"
Liu Shufen dared not disobey.
Seeing that Liu Shufen had let go of Zhao Jun, Nao Nao picked up her sister again and said, "Let's go."
Tengteng picked up his younger brother and said, "Okay."
After letting go of Zhao Jun, Liu Shufen tried to walk towards Naonao and Tengteng. But she had only taken a few steps when the Han siblings ran away. "Naonao, Tengteng, don't run away! I really am your grandma. Naonao, Tengteng, come back. Come back."
Seeing that Naonao and the others had run away, Lü Hui quickly led Zhao Jun to chase after them.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Shufen was the only one left on the ridge.
Once they were outside the farm, Nao Nao and Tengteng stopped running. They put their older sister and younger brother down on the ground.
Lü Hui: "Is that old lady really your uncle's mother-in-law?"
Nao Nao: "I don't know."
Tengteng: "Huihui, where should we go next?"
Lü Hui: "Should we go back and tell your mother?"
Nao Nao: "No need." His mother must have known all along.
Lü Hui: "Then let's go play in the back mountain."
Tengteng: "Okay."
At the farm, Liu Shufen wanted to chase after Nao Nao and Tengteng, but she was stopped by the person in charge of them after only a few steps: "Where do you think you're going?"
“I…comrade, I really know those children. Those children are really my nephews.”
The person in charge of them was surnamed Zheng, named Jianguo. Han Bin was the deputy division commander, and everyone paid close attention to him. Everyone knew that he had three sets of twins. Before Naonao and Tengteng arrived, there wasn't a single pair of twins in the military region. So, as soon as Naonao and Tengteng arrived, Zheng Jianguo knew they were Deputy Division Commander Han's children.
He had intended to stop Liu Shufen when she ran towards him. But before he could move, Naonao and Tengteng ran off. Later, after hearing Liu Shufen say that she was the mother-in-law of Deputy Division Commander Han's brother-in-law, Zheng Jianguo didn't move. But... Zheng Jianguo glanced at Liu Shufen: "Then why did they run away as soon as they saw you?"
"This...they might have forgotten. They were young then. Comrade, wasn't their father the brigade commander?"
"no."
"No?" Liu Shufen was taken aback. "I remember their father was a brigade commander. Then, is their mother named Wang Xiaoman?" Because the names of Xiaoman's siblings were all based on the solar terms, Liu Shufen remembered them immediately.
Zheng Jianguo didn't know: "I don't know. You'd better go back to work."
"Comrade, I really know them."
Zheng Jianguo also felt that she should know Han Bin. Because Naonao and Tengteng had rather unique names and looked exactly alike, they would be easily recognized. Besides, Deputy Division Commander Han had risen through the ranks from brigade commander. However… “Even if you really know them, you still have to work. Go back to work.”
"Comrade, I..."
"Shut up and go back to work."
Liu Shufen dared not speak.
All morning, Liu Shufen hoped that Nao Nao and Tengteng would reappear.
At noon, as soon as Feng Bowen returned, Liu Shufen excitedly stood up: "Old Feng, I saw Sister Xiaohan's child today."
Feng Bowen patted the dirt off his clothes: "Is this Xiaohan's child?"
"Yes. Lao Feng, Xiao Han's brother-in-law works in this military region. Lao Feng, you can go teach at the military region's affiliated school."
Feng Bowen glanced at Liu Shufen: "Back then, they asked me to go, but you didn't want to. Now... can you still go now?"
“You can go. I secretly asked around later, you know what? Xiao Han’s brother-in-law is now a deputy division commander.”
"Deputy Division Commander?!"
"Um."
"Well...that's possible."
"Right?" Liu Shufen poured Feng Bowen a bowl of water. "After work tonight, we'll go find them. You're both Xiaohan's mentor and her father-in-law, so they'll definitely help you if you go to them."
Feng Bowen was a little embarrassed: "This..."
"What is this? You want to farm forever?"
Feng Bowen didn't want to think: "Would they let us out?"
Liu Shufen wasn't worried at all: "We'll tell them we're relatives of the deputy division commander, and they'll definitely let us out."
"Then...then let's go ask. If it doesn't work...if it doesn't work, then forget it."
"It'll definitely work. He's a deputy division commander now."
Meanwhile, Zheng Jianguo went to find Xiao Qin as soon as he got off work. Xiao Qin didn't recognize Zheng Jianguo. "Comrade, who are you?"
"My name is Zheng Jianguo. You must be Deputy Division Commander Han's bodyguard, right?"
"Um."
"I'm from the farm. This morning..." Zheng Jianguo recounted what had happened that morning: "What do you think about this?"
Xiao Qin thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to the deputy division commander when he comes this afternoon. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come on, I'll take you to the canteen."
"No need. I'll eat at the farm. I'm just worried that Deputy Division Commander Han won't know there are two of these people at the farm."
Xiao Qin pulled Zheng Jianguo toward the canteen: "Don't be so polite. We're all revolutionary brothers. Come on. I heard the canteen has braised pork today."
Meanwhile, Nao Nao took a moment to tell Xiao Man about the farm. Xiao Man smiled. "I understand."
In the afternoon, as soon as Han Bin went to work, Xiao Qin told him what Zheng Jianguo had said. After listening, Han Bin took out two packs of cigarettes from his drawer: "Give Xiao Zheng two packs of cigarettes."
"Okay. Then this matter..."
"I'll go back and ask your sister-in-law tonight."
"good."
"Then I'll go."
"Go ahead. There's nothing to do this afternoon, so you can stay at the farm."
"Understood. Deputy Division Commander, I'm leaving now."
"Um."
Upon arriving at the farm, Xiao Qin seized an opportunity to give Zheng Jianguo a cigarette: "This is from the deputy division commander."
"This...this is too much trouble."
"If the deputy division commander gives it to you, then take it."
"Then...please thank the deputy division commander for me."
"Um."
Zheng Jianguo put the cigarettes in his pocket: "Xiao Qin, I bet Liu Shufen really wants to go out and see Deputy Division Commander Han. What do you think, if she asks me for leave, should I let her go?"
