Yin Xiaoman's mind went blank for a moment.
She reached out and rubbed her ears.
Then he put Erniu down, squatted down and pulled Dabao away from Shen Qingyun, so that he was facing him, and asked calmly: "What did you call him just now?"
No one could tell the ups and downs in her voice. Only Dabao and Erniu, who had been with her for such a long time, could tell.
Mother is angry.
In fact, Yin Xiaoman was not angry, she was just a little confused. She was so shocked that she could not believe what she heard.
But the two children didn't know.
Dabao subconsciously covered his mouth, and Erniu's little fist hit his shoulder heavily!
She cried out in a sobbing voice, "Call me daddy! Call me daddy! We already agreed not to call me godfather!"
Yin Xiaoman: “…”
Shen Qingyun only felt the blue veins on his forehead throbbing.
Having experienced countless big scenes, he suddenly felt at a loss for a moment when looking at the mother and her two daughters beside him.
Gao Chong and Xiao Yang, who were standing a little further away, had their eyes wandering and didn't dare to look over here. They were so embarrassed that they wanted to disappear on the spot and pretend that they didn't hear or see anything.
This is too much——
Call your sister-in-law "mother" and call your battalion commander "godfather"...
This guy Dabao is not good at talking and is the number one culprit.
On the first day I arrived, I set off such a big firecracker.
Are they planning to let the battalion commander and his sister-in-law go home and fight before they have time to be intimate?
Gao Chong, who had already been bribed by Yin Xiaoman's delicious food along the way, was even more worried: It doesn't matter whether the battalion commander is looked down upon when he returns home, but what if he makes his sister-in-law angry and something bad happens? !
Everyone was thinking about their own things and no one spoke. For a moment, the atmosphere on the platform was eerily quiet.
It was Shen Qingyun who cleared his throat first and said uncomfortably, "Let's get out of the station first. We can talk about it when we get back."
Yin Xiaoman didn't say anything, just nodded, picked up Erniu, held Dabao's hand, and followed them.
It takes more than an hour to drive from Haicheng Railway Station to the county town where the troops are stationed.
Along the way, Yin Xiaoman was very silent and basically didn't say a word.
Even though Gao Chong tried to lighten the atmosphere several times and started a few conversations, in the end, it all ended in failure because of the dull silence.
In fact, Yin Xiaoman was not angry with anyone.
She is not the original owner. From the first day she came to this world, she has decided to make the best of it and try to accept the reality of everything that has happened.
No matter what purpose Shen Qingyun had in concealing the origins of the two children, it happened before she came, and it was not a deception to her.
She didn't think there was anything to be angry about.
More shocked than angry.
She was afraid that she had missed some of the original owner's memories, which would then arouse the man's suspicion.
So along the way I was trying hard to search for all the details in my memory.
"We're here, get off the car."
While Yin Xiaoman was still daydreaming, the car had already stopped in front of a small courtyard.
Shen Qingyun got out of the car from the passenger seat.
He first put Dabao in his arms on the ground, then walked to where Yin Xiaoman was sitting and helped her open the car door, while extending his hand to her.
His hands are big, with broad palms, slender fingers, and obvious calluses on the fingertips, making him look very strong.
This was the first time that Yin Xiaoman looked at a man's hand at such a close distance, and she was a little stunned for a moment.
It wasn't until the second girl sitting in her arms twisted her little butt that she reacted, and then she immediately pushed the little girl towards the man.
Shen Qingyun took Erniu. He held it in his arms.
Then when he reached out to help Yin Xiaoman out, he saw her deliberately ignoring him and concentrating on packing the luggage at her feet.
He withdrew his hand awkwardly, and a trace of regret flashed across his eyes that he himself was not even aware of.
The Pioneer Battalion is the ace unit in the regiment, so although its base is relatively remote, its supporting facilities are still good.
Just like Shen Qingyun, as the leader of a battalion, his dormitory is a separate courtyard.
Although the yard is not big, it has everything. In addition to a living room and two bedrooms, there is also a separate kitchen and toilet.
There is even a water pressure well in the corner of the yard.
After Gao Chong and Xiao Yang helped them move their luggage in, they left together very tactfully.
Seeing that Yin Xiaoman was avoiding his gaze, Shen Qingyun sighed silently.
He first carried the asleep Erniu to the bed in the inner room, then carried a package containing pots, pans, and utensils into the kitchen, took out two large aluminum lunch boxes, and came out.
He walked up to Dabao, who was looking at him anxiously, and rubbed his head roughly.
Then he said to Yin Xiaoman, who had her back to him and was busy packing her luggage, "Stop busying yourself. You should take a break first. I'll take Dabao to get food. We can talk about anything after we finish eating."
After saying that, he took the child and walked out the door.
Watching their backs disappear at the door, Yin Xiaoman sat down on the rattan chair.
It was not until then that the calm expression on her face finally disappeared, replaced by a rare nervousness and confusion.
Her mind was buzzing with confusion, and she didn't even know what she was thinking.
After traveling to the present time, I feel a little panic for the first time.
Yin Xiaoman always thought that he was a very rational person and never acted on his emotions.
It's like the decision made here, although it seems to be made on a whim, but in fact it is made after weighing all the pros and cons.
If I stay at home, the outcome is doomed to be bad, but if I join the army, there will at least be a glimmer of hope.
So she chose to join Shen Qingyun without hesitation, believing that this was the best choice for her and her child.
But the more rational a person is, the more likely he is to overlook the most important issue, which is that people have feelings.
Before coming, she had considered everything, but had never thought about how to be alone with Shen Qingyun.
After all, she has never had any experience of getting along with men in her past life or this life.
As the sky grew darker and all the outsiders left, Yin Xiaoman finally began to feel a little nervous.
Only then did she realize that Shen Qingyun was no longer just a name to her, but a real person, a man she would marry and whom she could make all kinds of demands on!
A heat rushed up from the soles of my feet and almost instantly burned to the center of my forehead.
Yin Xiaoman was so burned that he felt dizzy and completely unable to think, and his face was so hot that it almost turned into charcoal.
"Mom, we're back!"
Yin Xiaoman sat in the rattan chair in a daze, almost turning himself into a wooden man. It wasn't until she heard Dabao's voice in the yard that she came to her senses.
The lunch boxes that the two people took out were all filled to the brim. One box was filled with steamed buns made from two cups of flour, and one box contained stewed tofu with kelp and fried bean sprouts.
Although they are all vegetarian dishes, it is rare to have soy products to eat these days.
It can be seen that this food must have been obtained by Shen Qingyun with great effort.
"I'll go call Erniu out for dinner." Seeing them come back, Yin Xiaoman said something casually and ran into the house.
The footsteps were so untidy that it looked like someone was fleeing in panic.
Looking at her back, Shen Qingyun sighed silently, and his heart, which had been a little warm before, began to slowly cool down again.
Erniu was obviously very sleepy. She shook her head and refused to eat after just a few bites. She was also unusually naughty and cried for her mother to hold her.
Yin Xiaoman had no choice but to carry her back into the house and coax her into a deep sleep before coming out.
When she came out again, the two had finished eating, and the food left for her was covered with a plate to keep it warm.
Seeing her coming out, Shen Qingyun walked out from another bedroom: "You eat first, I'll tidy up this room. From now on, you and Erniu will sleep in that room, and Dabao and I will sleep in this room. Is that okay with you?"
Hearing him say this, Yin Xiaoman suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person seemed to relax a lot at once.
She nodded quickly: "Okay."
After saying that, he added considerately: "If you are busy, Dabao can also sleep with me."
Shen Qingyun glanced at her and clearly felt that she was much more energetic. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was more angry or amused.
"Let's talk about it later."
He pointed to the food on the table and said, "Eat first, and then we'll talk."
Yin Xiaoman knew that he wanted to talk about the two children, but she didn't really care about that.
For her, it doesn’t matter whether Dabao and Erniu are Shen Qingyun’s biological children.
The original owner might have brought the two children out because of him, and she liked these two little guys simply because she thought they were lovable.
There's really nothing wrong with this man.
Therefore, her mentality was very calm, and she even tasted the food in front of her.
After dinner, Shen Qingyun walked out of the bedroom alone.
Seeing Yin Xiaoman looking inside, he explained, "Dabao is doing the homework you left for him."
After he finished speaking, he paused, looked up at Yin Xiaoman, and said sincerely: "I am very grateful to you. Thank you for taking such good care of the two children."
Yin Xiaoman pursed her lips and said nothing.
Seeing her like this, Shen Qingyun showed an apologetic expression on his face: "Comrade Yin Xiaoman, first of all, I have to say sorry for hiding the life stories of my two children from you. Although I had no choice at the time, I deceived you, and that was wrong of mine."
Comrade Yin Xiaoman...what is this name?
For a moment, Yin Xiaoman felt confused again.
Although she has not been in this world for long, she knows what "comrade" means.
Is this how couples address each other in the military?
She couldn't help but blink, and once again felt that her thoughts were not keeping up.
Seeing that she was still silent, Shen Qingyun had no choice but to continue talking to himself with difficulty.
"Comrade Yin Xiaoman, let me first tell you about Dabao's parents.
Dabao’s father used to be my squad leader. He was the one who recruited me when I was a new recruit.
Later, when I was selected to join the Pioneer Camp, he also recommended me..."
When he got to the point, Yin Xiaoman finally withdrew his thoughts and listened attentively.
According to Shen Qingyun, Dabao's surname is Du, and his father is Du Changyu, who was once Shen Qingyun's direct superior. Although he is said to be a superior, he is actually more like a friend, and the two of them have a certain sympathy for each other.
Du Changyu has a long military service, comes from the city, has a high level of education, and was once highly valued in the army. When he was young, he was able to rise rapidly in career and became a company commander in his early twenties.
Unfortunately, after he was promoted to deputy battalion commander, he encountered the movement and during another investigation, it was suddenly discovered that he had a distant cousin living abroad, which caused big problems in his political review.
Just before this, Du Changyu had just made a great contribution with a small team, so it was impossible to get to the bottom of it.
Finally, at the strong insistence of the regiment leaders, he retained his position as deputy battalion commander, but was sent to a remote island to guard it.
At that time, Du Changyu had already obtained the only spot in the entire regiment to study at the military academy. Seeing that he could not go, he took the initiative to find the regiment leader and proposed to transfer the spot to Shen Qingyun.
The leader was feeling extremely sorry for what happened to him at the time, and after hearing what he said, he agreed without thinking.
At that time, Shen Qingyun had just been promoted to company commander. Although he had excellent grades in all aspects, he was young after all and had no fame in the regiment.
If it weren't for Du Changyu's desperate push at the end, the spot would never have fallen into his hands.
Shen Qingyun learned a lot during his two years in military school, but the most important thing was that it gilded his skills.
These days there are very few educated people who have attended military academies, so when he came back, almost everything went smoothly.
Within two years, he was promoted to battalion commander, a rank higher than Du Changyu.
Although his rank has been raised, in Shen Qingyun's heart, Du Changyu is still his old company commander and his best friend.
It was a tacit understanding among everyone that Du Changyu's tenure as deputy battalion commander had reached the end of his career.
So he lost his previous vigor and quickly found a wife in the local area and got married.
Soon after, Dabao was born.
At that time, although he was on the island, there was a shift change every year, so he could still go home for a few months a year. So the relationship between husband and wife is also okay.
After all, for the people in the surrounding villages, being able to marry an officer is a good luck accumulated over eight hundred years.
But in the following years, the movements became more and more frequent, and even though Du Changyu lived on an island, he was unable to escape many times.
Although his post as deputy battalion commander had not been removed, the time for his change of post was delayed again and again, and it became normal for him not to be able to leave the island once a year.
Especially after Erniu was born, he hardly came down.
This made his daughter-in-law panic.
The two of them didn't get married because of any affection between them in the first place, and after not seeing each other for such a long time, it was natural that their relationship grew more and more distant.
The woman soon had her heart set on someone else.
Du Changyu knew it, but with his children around and him being away from home all year round, there was really nothing he could do.
I had to ask Shen Qingyun to take good care of him.
Where has Shen Qingyun seen the child? What's more, he and that woman have nothing to say to each other.
I could only make random checks every few weeks to see if the woman was mistreating the child, and at the same time do my best to send more things to the child.
Because of Du Changyu's salary and Shen Qingyun's supervision, even if the woman is not fully focused on her, she can still keep the home.
Then something happened to Du Changyu.
A severe storm collapsed the house on the island and he was trapped underneath.
It was not discovered until a few days later when a supply ship landed on the island.
When the woman learned that he was dead, she came to the camp and cried a lot, but the next day after receiving the pension, she disappeared along with the money.
Before leaving, in order to avoid being discovered, he locked Dabao and Erniu in the house with a big iron lock.
After Shen Qingyun finished taking care of Du Changyu's funeral and came to pick up the two children to attend their father's funeral, she found that the two children had been locked in the house for several days and were starving to death.
It was from that time that Dabao suddenly stopped speaking.
"I didn't dare to tell the truth to my family because..."
Shen Qingyun paused and said, "You also know what my eldest sister-in-law is like. If my parents don't protect the two children because I am not their biological child when I am not at home, I am afraid they will suffer when they go back."
"As for why I didn't tell you..." Shen Qingyun looked up at Yin Xiaoman and couldn't continue speaking.
"I understand." Yin Xiaoman didn't let him continue.
In fact, everything is clear at this point.
Given Liu Chunxia's situation, if she knew that Dabao and Erniu were not Shen Qingyun's biological children, she would have thought that it was the most righteous thing to do not to starve them to death.
Yin Xiaoman didn't think there was anything wrong with what Shen Qingyun did.
As for why he didn't tell the original owner...
He wasn't familiar with the original owner, and besides, the news had already been spread by everyone at that time, so there was no point in changing his words.
Seeing that Yin Xiaoman had no intention of arguing with him about this, Shen Qingyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he took out thirty yuan from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Yin Xiaoman.
"This is the money that should be given to you. Please keep it. I know you gave it to Gao Chong before."
Yin Xiaoman was stunned again and looked at him in surprise.
This look made Shen Qingyun feel a little uncomfortable again.
He had no choice but to patiently explain: "I am already very grateful that you agreed to come with the army to help me take care of the children. How can I ask you to take the money for the train ticket?
Don't worry, what I promised you is valid. Please keep this money and I will pay you on time in the future. ”
After finishing what he wanted to say, Shen Qingyun was obviously much more relaxed, and he even smiled at Yin Xiaoman.
"Go to bed early. You've worked hard these days."
After saying that, he helped Yin Xiaoman take out the necessary things and then went back to the room.
After washing up, Yin Xiaoman also returned to the bedroom.
Lying in bed, although physically and mentally exhausted, my mind was racing.
Shen Qingyun's words just now really shocked her. She didn't expect that Dabao and his sister would have such a life experience.
But apart from these, what made her even more uneasy was Shen Qingyun's final vague words and the thirty yuan he insisted on asking her to accept.
Yin Xiaoman knew that there must be something he didn't know.
He and the original owner must have discussed some conditions or made some promises.
These things are very important, and even related to whether the man will become suspicious of her identity.
But she searched all her memories and found nothing.
Yin Xiaoman became more irritable than ever before.
