After Fu Qingshan left, Fu Bailu asked about Accountant Du's situation.
After listening to Qiao Xinyi's words, Fu Bailu sighed, "Accountant Du is so young, what a pity."
After saying that, Fu Bailu sighed again, "I used to hate seeing Captain Cheng behave like that, but I didn't expect that Captain Cheng is also a good person. In order to save people, he even disregarded his own safety."
The river was flowing so fast, and Captain Cheng was from China, so how could he not realize how dangerous it was before he jumped in?
But being a soldier, he jumped into the river to save people even though he knew the danger.
So Fu Bailu couldn't bear to say anything bad about Captain Cheng now. Yesterday, when Qiao Xinyi and the others went out to help find someone, Fu Bailu also went home to pray for the Buddha's blessing, and hoped that Captain Cheng would be able to return to the shore safely.
The moment she knew Captain Cheng was gone, Fu Bailu also cried.
"Knowing that the soldiers who rescued people were disloyal, the residents of this area had already gone to the scene of the incident to send flowers." Chen Yubing had also gone there with a few children.
Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu were sad for a long time.
Battalion Commander Cheng died saving people, and he was posthumously named a martyr. Rural people pay attention to being buried in peace, and considering that the two places are not far away, the army tried its best to arrange to send Battalion Commander Cheng's body back to his hometown.
When Captain Cheng's body left the provincial capital, Qiao Xinyi and Fu Bailu took the children to see him off, and all the people in the family compound came with their children.
The car had left for a long time, but the people who came to see it off were reluctant to leave.
Mrs. Lu walked towards Qiao Xinyi, and the two looked at each other and sighed.
"Captain Cheng's brother and sister-in-law are really worthless. They attacked Accountant Du in the family compound just because of Captain Cheng's pension. They are just like Old Lady Cheng, calling Accountant Du a jinx and saying that they want to kick Accountant Du out of the house on behalf of the Cheng family."
"Captain Cheng's sister-in-law said that she would give half of her son to Captain Cheng as his son. She said that she asked her relatives in her hometown to calculate and found that the baby in Accountant Du's belly is a girl. Therefore, Accountant Du and the baby in her belly are not eligible for the pension from Captain Cheng." Sister-in-law Lu said.
"You are shameless for money. My brother risked his life to earn the money, and he took it all. Isn't he afraid of dying to spend it?" Fu Bailu scolded the Cheng family for being shameless.
"But fortunately Accountant Du was not one to be bullied. She went to see Division Commander Ge and asked him to divide Captain Cheng's pension and the money he left behind into four parts."
"One for Captain Cheng's daughter Jiaojiao, one for her, one for the baby in her belly, and the last one for Mother Cheng."
"Accountant Du said that even if Jiaojiao is a daughter and even if she changed her last name, she is still Captain Cheng's daughter, and she should have a share of anything Captain Cheng left behind."
Just for this reason, Mrs. Lu had to admit that Accountant Du was magnanimous. When Accountant Du first came to the army, Mrs. Lu disliked Accountant Du very much because of her feelings for Zhang Xiaoyu.
But now, Mrs. Lu admires Accountant Du and loves Accountant Du.
"The army agreed and divided the money into four parts and gave them to each of them on the spot. Zhang Yuyu will take and manage Jiaojiao's share. Jiaojiao is also the child of a martyr, and the army will also take care of her in the future."
Qiao Xinyi nodded slightly, guessing that Accountant Du also wanted to leave some options for the baby in her belly.
Zhang Xiaoyu's family compound has a good reputation. After all, Jiaojiao is the only blood-related sister of her unborn child in the world. Accountant Du wants to leave a good relationship for her child. This is what she should do as a mother.
Accountant Du also hates the Cheng family. For her, it is better to leave it to Jiaojiao than to let the Cheng family get it for free.
None of the Cheng family members were masters of An, so the army also arranged for some people to go with Captain Cheng's body back home, including Fu Qingshan.
By the time Captain Cheng finished his funeral and Fu Qingshan came back, half of the year had passed.
In just these few days, Fu Qingshan has become visibly thinner.
Fu Qingshan came out of the shower and wiped his hair. Qiao Xinyi went over and put her arms around his waist to measure him.
"Don't worry, you still like abdominal muscles." Fu Qingshan teased her.
"Will you feel uncomfortable if you don't play tricks on me?" Qiao Xinyi glared at him before asking, "Are the Cheng family members very troublesome?"
"Didn't you see how arrogant the Cheng family's aunts and uncles got when they returned to the village, thinking it was their own territory? They surrounded Accountant Du and Zhang Xiaoyu and her daughter, forcing them to hand over the pension for Captain Cheng, otherwise they would not let them go."
Fortunately, the army guessed that something bad would happen, so they sent a lot of people over, and none of them were Captain Cheng's subordinates. In addition, people like Fu Qingshan were tough and not easy to mess with, so they managed to suppress the group of scoundrels and bring Accountant Du and Zhang Xiaoyu and her daughter back to the provincial capital safely.
In rural areas where people live in clans, if the clan leader is uncivilized, he can be unreasonable to the point that ordinary people cannot imagine.
The behavior of Fu Qingshan and his comrades was so exaggerated that they even slept with one eye open and dared not sleep too deeply.
After having lunch at the Western-style building, Fu Qingshan took his wife and children back home.
The New Year passed in a flash. When Accountant Du moved out of the staff quarters, Qiao Xinyi also packed up her things and took the children back to Beijing.
After Qiao Xinyi came back, Accountant Du and her family came to express their gratitude with gifts, thanking Qiao Xinyi and Fu Qingshan and his wife for their help, so Qiao Xinyi and Accountant Du can be considered to have a good relationship.
She also left Accountant Du her Beijing address, asking him to write to her regularly in the future, and asked Accountant Du to let her know once he was born so that she could prepare a gift for the child.
Trains from the provincial capital to Beijing come and go, summer comes and winter goes, and time flies.
The box containing the family's train tickets over the years gradually became full, and the time came to the summer of 1983.
Qiao Xinyi graduated early. Before graduation, she went to Secretary Zhang to register a trading company. She also declined the school's invitation to study for a master's degree, ending her student career.
The first thing Qiao Xinyi did when she got home with her graduation certificate was to change her clothes.
I was taken to take pictures at school. I walked for half a day and was sweating all over.
After changing her clothes and coming out, she saw Fu Mingxi with two pigtails and tears in her eyes, accusing her with her round eyes.
Fu Mingjing was also angry while sitting on the chair, stamping his feet.
"What's going on with these two?" Qiao Xinyi looked at Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu. "Are the brother and sister arguing again? Or are they fighting again?"
These two have been quarreling and fighting since they were old enough to understand.
Sometimes Fu Mingjing wins, sometimes Fu Mingxi wins, but no matter who wins, both of them cry.
"This time it's really not a quarrel or a fight." Fu Linzhou shrugged helplessly, "They said they wanted to learn to write, so my brother and I taught them how to write their names..."
Before Fu Linzhou finished speaking, Qiao Xinyi actually understood.
She had thought about this when the child's name was just decided, but she didn't expect it to come so early.
