Chapter 112 Things are a bit strange

On the other side, because the family area was not far away, the three of them arrived home soon.

Along the way, Shen Anan was observing the surrounding situation. The residential areas in the family area were divided into sections. On the eastern side were several three- or four-story tube buildings, in the middle were more than a dozen two-story small buildings, and on the western side were several rows of neatly arranged brick houses.

They walked directly to the brick house at the westernmost end. At the door of each house there was a small yard surrounded by a bamboo fence. Most of the yards were planted with vegetables. There were also a few aunties sitting at the door picking vegetables. When they saw them, they looked at them with some curiosity.

Shen Yuanjun's home is in the second room from the left in the third row. It is obvious that they have just moved in. The vegetables in the yard have just sprouted, and the lock on the door is also brand new.

Shen Anan walked into the house under the guidance of Shen Yuanjun. It was a small two-bedroom apartment with the kitchen under the eaves and the living room connected to the two rooms.

As soon as Shen Yuanjun entered the room, he put Shen Anan's things in the room on the right. Shen Anan went in and looked around carefully. She saw that the room was not big and there was nothing else except the bed and the cabinet.

It's obvious that no one has ever lived in this room. There are only two rooms in this house. Could it be that his third brother and Fan Lijuan are already living together?

This shouldn't be the case. Given her third brother's personality, he would never do such a thing. Could it be that after not seeing him for a few years, he has let himself go?

Shen Anan looked at Shen Yuanjun who was busy cleaning up, and was about to ask something, but was interrupted by a voice from the living room.

"An An, Yuan Jun, come out and drink some water." Fan Lijuan greeted the brother and sister with two bowls of brown sugar water.

When Shen Anan came out, Fan Lijuan smiled and talked to Shen Anan, revealing her intimacy with Shen Yuanjun in her words.

Shen Anan responded while observing. Even if Fan Lijuan behaved naturally, the unfamiliarity between the two was visible to the naked eye. There must be something wrong with this marriage.

After chatting for a while, perhaps Fan Lijuan also felt that the brother and sister had something to say, so she used the excuse of going to buy some seafood to entertain Shen Anan, and went out with a basket of vegetables, leaving the space to the Shen brother and sister.

"Third brother, what's going on with the marriage? We haven't received any letters from you for several months, and my parents are very worried." Shen Anan asked the question that concerned him most seriously.

"That's impossible. I sent so many letters. How could I not receive them?"

"Put the letter aside for now, Third Brother, talk about marriage first. If you get married without Mom and Dad knowing, I'll see if Mom will whip you with a stick next time you go home!"

"And what's wrong with Fan Lijuan's stomach?"

"Well, this is a long story..." Shen Yuanjun sighed and told the whole story.

After Shen Yuanjun's narration, Shen Anan finally figured out the whole story.

This Fan Lijuan is actually the newlywed wife of Zheng Da Kui, the deputy platoon leader of Shen Yuanjun's company. They were arranged as a child marriage by their family. Zheng Da Kui went home a few months ago, and after the wedding banquet, he brought her back to South Island.

Unexpectedly, two months ago, when they were carrying out a secret mission, they were suddenly ambushed by the enemy. Zheng Da Kui was accidentally hit by a stray bullet because he led the team back for support. Before he died, he asked Shen Yuanjun to take care of Fan Lijuan.

Shen Yuanjun had no intention of marrying Fan Lijuan. He just wanted to take care of her as a comrade-in-arms. Unexpectedly, after Fan Lijuan fainted after hearing the bad news and was sent to the hospital, she was found to be pregnant.

Later, Fan Lijuan begged Shen Yuanjun, saying that she did not want her child to be born in an incomplete family. After careful consideration, Shen Yuanjun suggested marrying Fan Lijuan, and Fan Lijuan agreed.

After all, marriage is a big deal. After Shen Yuanjun made the decision, he wrote a letter home to tell him about it. Unexpectedly, there was no reply from his family for several months. Because Fan Lijuan's belly was getting bigger and bigger, Shen Yuanjun had planned to submit a marriage application tomorrow.

“An’an, Da Kui sacrificed himself in order to lead the team back to rescue his brothers. I must take good care of his wife and children. This is my responsibility.” Shen Yuanjun lowered his head. These words seemed to be trying to persuade Shen An’an, but more like trying to persuade himself.

Shen Anan always felt that this matter was a bit strange. Fan Lijuan's husband had just died. Even for the sake of the child, she shouldn't think about remarrying so quickly!

And judging from Fan Lijuan's expression just now, it doesn't look like she's just lost her husband and is heartbroken.

Seeing Fan Lijuan's intimate gesture just now, if she didn't believe in Shen Yuanjun's character, she would have doubted the color of Zheng Dagui's hat.

Ahem, I’ve gone off topic!

However, Shen Yuanjun's mind is full of responsibilities now. If she stops him directly, her third brother may not listen to her.

Shen Anan thought for a moment and said, "Third brother, this is a big happy event. You don't know that Sixth brother just set a wedding date during the Chinese New Year. Mother has been obsessed with marrying her daughter-in-law recently. Fifth brother didn't dare to go home because of mother's urging."

"To tell you the truth, besides coming to see you, another important mission for me this time is to solve your single problem."

"Even the sixth brother is going to get married, that's great!" Shen Yuanjun was happy for Shen Yuanjia when he heard the good news.

"But Third Brother, our family really hasn't received any letters from you. You should at least let your parents know about your marriage!"

"How about you write another letter to your family and then apply for marriage? What do you think?"

"But, Lijuan's belly..." Shen Yuanjun hesitated.

"Hey, Third Brother, these three-month and six-month bellies are both obvious signs of pregnancy, what's the big deal!"

"My future sister-in-law is pregnant with a martyr's orphan. If anyone dares to gossip, I will go to the military district to file a complaint!"

"And you see, my brother Da Kui has only been there for a short time. There are always conflicts between weddings and funerals. It won't hurt to wait a while." Shen Anan hurriedly advised. She always felt that there was something wrong with Fan Lijuan. If the marriage application was submitted, there would be something wrong with this person, and her third brother couldn't explain it.

"That's right." Shen Yuanjun nodded, with a hint of ease between his brows that he himself didn't even notice.

"By the way, Third Brother, remember to check at the post office. It's not normal for our family not to receive any mail for several months."

"Yes, I remember that."

"By the way, An An, is everything okay at home? How are Dad and Mom?"

"My parents are fine. Now our brigade has a brick factory and life is much better."

"Really? That's great..."

Shen Yuanjun finally gave up the idea of ​​submitting the application tomorrow, and Shen Anan relaxed and felt like chatting.

On the other side, Fan Lijuan had a look of annoyance between her brows. After leaving the family area, she hurried in a certain direction.

Why is Shen Yuanjun's sister here? Why at this critical moment?

I hope nothing unexpected happens!
