Chapter 408 Battlefield Confession
The two sisters finally came downstairs and breakfast was already on the table. A woman dressed simply and neatly stood in the dining room.
The woman looked to be in her late 40s, with faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were bright, revealing a shrewd and capable vitality.
Zhong Qixin took Yike and introduced her to her: "This is my little girl, Yike."
Zhong Qixin said to Yike again: "She is Aunt Zhao who helps us with housework. Just tell Aunt Zhao what you want to eat in the future."
"Hello, Aunt Zhao!" Yi Ke greeted with a smile.
"Hello, young lady! I made some rice cakes. I was afraid that you might not be used to eating pasta, so in addition to the meat porridge, I also made rice cakes." Aunt Zhao spoke kindly.
"Thank you, I eat everything, and I like pasta too. Aunt Zhao doesn't have to make it separately for me, it's too much trouble." Yike said.
"It's okay, as long as the young lady likes it." Aunt Zhao said she could do it and it wasn't hard.
"Come, let's try it. I haven't eaten rice cake before." Zhong Qixin pulled Yike to sit next to her.
Ziyi had to sit alone. Fortunately, Tang Chu asked him questions from time to time, and he answered them seriously, so it didn't seem like he was ignoring him.
Zhong Qixin spent most of the time watching Yike eat. After she ate a piece of rice cake, she handed her a steamed bun and kept asking her how it tasted. After drinking a small bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge, two peeled eggs were placed in front of her. Yike had to eat one and fed the other one into her mother's mouth.
The white and plump little steamed buns are Yi Ke’s favorite. She eats one herself and feeds one to her mother. The mother and daughter have a warm breakfast together, with you feeding me and I feeding you.
Aunt Zhao watched from the side, and from time to time she lifted her clothes to wipe her eyes. She was so moved, because she knew that the lady couldn't sleep at night because she missed the young lady.
After his father had breakfast, he went to work. Yi Ke asked curiously, "Dad, do you walk to work?"
"The guard will drive him there."
"Why didn't you see the guard yesterday?"
"Your father asked the guard to go do something. He came back at around 2 o'clock last night. He went to deliver something to your grandfather this morning. He should be back by now."
Sure enough, a young man soon walked in. He was wearing a military uniform and looked energetic and handsome.
"Xiao Wu, come and have breakfast. It's saved for you." Zhong Qixin said, and introduced Yike and Ziyi to him. Yike then realized that this guard was his father's personal bodyguard.
Aunt Zhao brought out the remaining food and asked Xiao Wu's guard to say "thank you" to Zhong Qixin before sitting down to eat.
When I saw how fast he ate, I thought of the saying "Men eat like tigers". He took one bite of each steamed bun and took no more than three mouthfuls of a bowl of porridge, wolfing it down ravenously.
He had just finished eating when his father came downstairs. From yesterday until this morning, all he had seen was his father in ordinary casual clothes. Now seeing his father in military uniform, he felt that he didn't look like a man in his sixties at all.
This military uniform makes him look particularly majestic and handsome. The guard walked over quickly and opened the door. There was a jeep parked outside. My father walked over quickly and got in the car. The jeep drove away...
"Don't look at it. Your father has gone to the military area and will only come back at night. This is the bad thing about marrying a soldier." Zhong Qixin sighed.
"Mom," Yi Ke didn't know how to comfort him, so he deliberately changed the subject and said, "Mom, how did you meet Dad? Can you tell me?"
"What's there to say? When I met your father, he was already a regimental-level cadre. He was just 30 years old that year, and I was only 18. Your father fell in love with me at first sight, and then he came to me with his guards and asked me if I was willing to marry him." Zhong Gongxin's eyes showed happiness as she recalled.
"I was helping out in the hospital, holding the gauze that had just been changed for the wounded. There was the rumbling of gunfire in the distance, and he stood in front of me and asked me to marry him. I didn't even know him, so I definitely wouldn't agree. But I was so scared at the time that I didn't have time to say a word. He took the gauze from my hand, picked me up and talked to me. I acquiesced and agreed to marry him, and then he stuffed me into the Jipu car and took me to the regiment..." Zhong Qixin told Yike the story, and Yike suddenly imagined a battlefield confession scene:
In a temporary field hospital, the thirty-year-old regiment commander Tang Chu stood majestically in front of the eighteen-year-old beautiful nurse Zhong Qixin.
Tang Chu saluted Hu Tu and said, "Comrade Hu Tu, my name is Tang Chu, the head of the xx regiment. I like you and want to marry you as a revolutionary. I promise that I will be as loyal to you as I am to the party. Will you marry me?"
The beautiful nurse Zhong Qixin was stunned by this sudden confession. Before she could curse the soldier, she was picked up by the soldier and spun around.
Tang Chu laughed and said, "Girls are shy. I know you are embarrassed to say yes, so I just assume you agree. Hahaha." Zhong Qixin's head was spinning so dizzy that she couldn't speak. She was just carried to the jeep by Tang Chu and taken away.
Tang Chu sent a guard to tell the dean that Zhong Qixin was marrying him. She didn't even say a word of objection and took a bumpy ride to Tang Chu's team.
She got out of the jeep and vomited violently. Before she could catch her breath, the large force had to move again.
The mission of Captain Tang Chu's team is to stop the enemy and buy time for the main force to retreat. Captain Tang Chu handed her over to the guards to take care of her and said to her, "Wait until I come back, and we'll get married when I come back."
Taking into account the danger of the blocking war and in order to keep Captain Tang Chu from being distracted, the beautiful nurse Zhong Qixin didn't even have time to think about it. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back. You must come back alive." Just like that, Zhong Qixin inexplicably married Captain Tang Chu, whom she didn't know.
Yike couldn't help but burst out laughing, and while laughing he looked at Ziyi. Why did his parents get married in the same way as himself and Ziyi? They both got married for no apparent reason.
Ziyi understood Yike's look and touched his nose awkwardly.
Tang Xiner asked: "Mom, do you like Dad?"
Zhong Qixin touched Tang Xiner's head and said, "Silly child, in that war-torn era, life could return to nature at any time. This was especially true for soldiers, who could be sacrificed at any time. Your father was already over 30 years old at that time. If it weren't for the war, he would have had a wife and children around him. Mom didn't think about whether she liked him or not at the time. It was just that when I heard your dad say that he liked me, I thought that someone like him could sacrifice himself for the revolution at any time and might not even have a descendant. I thought that I could also sacrifice myself and leave him a descendant, so I married him like this. I didn't think about whether I liked him or not at the time, but I did admire him. Your dad was very good at fighting and was very famous."
"Then, Mom, did you fall in love with Dad later?" Lu Xiner continued to ask.
"Of course I like him. Your father is so good to me, how could I not like him? Why do you always ask this question?" Qi Xin asked curiously.
"I know, mom. Someone came to propose marriage today. I'm so nervous." Yi Ke said with a smile.
Tang Xiner: "My sister is not cute at all. Don't you know not to say it when you see it?"
Yike: Haha…
