The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. Yu Ruiyuan, a woman who had been toughened by life, felt that her whole body was falling apart.
She couldn't help but sob and cry.
It's just that she cried very suppressedly and her whimpering voice was very small. Even the people outside could not hear her crying clearly.
When Su Xiaotian came to see Yu Ruiyuan, she happened to encounter the scene of Yu Ruiyuan covering her mouth and crying.
The suppressed crying made her feel as if she had been raped.
A person who was happy because of their arrival suddenly cried like this, and Su Xiaotian didn't care whether it was polite or not.
She hurriedly entered the door, stepped next to Yu Ruiyuan in two steps, and gently patted Yu Ruiyuan's back.
Yu Ruiyuan noticed Su Xiaotian coming in, and fearing that her out-of-control appearance would frighten the child, she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her eyes.
"It's grandma's fault, she scared us Xiaotian!" Yu Ruiyuan tried to squeeze out a smile, but her face seemed to be stiff.
"Grandma, cry when you are sad!" Su Xiaotian said sadly.
Everything was fine before, but even if Ma Shanfang and his wife came to the house and caused such a commotion, no one was crying. Why were they crying so sadly?
Yu Ruiyuan felt aggrieved, but she couldn't say these words to a child like Su Xiaotian!
What's more, suspicion is just suspicion without any real evidence. It is not good to say it hastily.
"I'm fine. I just suddenly thought of your Uncle Du. If he is still here..."
If he was still alive, why would he be afraid that the young man who suddenly appeared would be his husband's illegitimate son?
If he was still here, how could Ma Shanfang and Du Tianhe dare to come and steal the property openly?
When my son went to war, his parents didn't agree.
But what did the son say?
He said that if it wasn't him, it would be someone else. If it wasn't their Du family's child, it would be someone else's child.
He went to the battlefield just so that others would not go to the battlefield.
Back then, she agreed to her son's request on a whim. Every time she thought about her decision back then, Yu Ruiyuan felt regretful!
If she knew that once she left, she would never see him again, she would not have let her son go to the battlefield even if she threatened him.
It has nothing to do with other people's children, she only has this one child!
But what’s the point of saying this now?
Her son has been gone for many years, but he is still so young in her memory...
Su Xiaotian understood that this was because the incident involving Ma Shanfang's family aroused her longing for her son.
Also, if their son is still alive and has a family full of descendants, why are they being persecuted with their grandchildren?
Thinking of this, Su Xiaotian only hated herself for why she didn't slap Ma Shanfang more times just now.
For such a person who pokes needles in other people's hearts, even beating him to death is not an exaggeration.
"Grandma, it's okay, it's okay."
Su Xiaotian stretched out her arms, hugged Yu Ruiyuan in her arms and comforted her softly.
Being comforted by Su Xiaotian and feeling the little girl's sincerity, Yu Ruiyuan felt much more comfortable.
This kid is good.
In the past few years, if it hadn't been for this kind and lovely child, the couple would have been buried in the northwest.
"Good boy, grandma will be satisfied with you!"
Xiaotian is her granddaughter, her only granddaughter.
However, if Hua Xiucheng was really the old man's illegitimate son outside, why would she feel so embarrassed?
How to choose?
Are you taking this breath?
Or will we never see each other again?
Thinking of this question, Yu Ruiyuan fell silent again.
However, Su Xiaotian did not notice the endless changes in Yu Ruiyuan's thoughts, nor did she notice the deepest pain in Yu Ruiyuan's heart.
Of course, she couldn't understand how a couple who had been together for many years would feel uncomfortable if one person betrayed the other.
She comforted Yu Ruiyuan in a low voice: "Grandma Su, it's okay. Although I can't stay in the capital forever, in two years I will take the college entrance examination. By then I will be admitted to a university in the capital and I will be able to stay with you for several years."
.”
Her goal is to get into the best university. It would be really ridiculous if she could not get into the best university even if she had a systematic library.
As for future plans, Su Xiaotian is not clear yet. She thinks that we will talk about it after entering college. It seems that there is no practical significance to consider so many things now.
"Okay, grandma is waiting for you." Yu Ruiyuan burst into tears and smiled.
Yes, in two years, this child will be able to go to college.
Well, something seems not right. How old is this child?
"Xiaotian, are you only twelve years old this year?" Yu Ruiyuan asked.
"Yes, I am twelve this year, so I will be thirteen years old, and in two years, I will be fifteen years old!"
If you pretend to be fifteen, you are actually fourteen. Is it too young to take the college entrance examination at this age?
The most important thing is, are universities willing to accept such young children?
At the age of fourteen, speaking of which, he is almost in junior high school!
Although Yu Ruiyuan thought so in her heart, she also knew that all ten children of the Su family were outstanding, especially in reading, each one was better than the other, which could be seen from the five children who had already taken the college entrance examination.
But the nine brothers above Xiaotian are still a bit inferior compared to Xiaotian!
No, we can't let Xiaotian suffer a disadvantage because of her age.
I'm afraid we have to start planning this matter from now on.
When I meet Shen Zizhen tomorrow, I will discuss it with him first, as well as Chi Ge. Although after returning this time, he may not be able to teach in the university because of his age, he must have other methods.
Su Xiaotian didn't know that in a short period of time, Yu Ruiyuan had already thought so much about her.
She was still thinking about how to comfort Yu Ruiyuan.
The two old men lived alone in this big yard, which was indeed a bit lonely. I didn't know if my brothers could take time to come over and visit the two old men occasionally and talk to them for a while.
Su Xiaotian felt that she should discuss this matter seriously with her brothers later.
Furthermore, it has now been opened up. Although it may not seem obvious in my hometown, when I arrive in the capital, I can clearly see the difference.
Is it possible to find a way for the whole family to live in the capital?
People move live trees and move dead trees. If the family members come to the capital, I don’t know if there will be new development?
In Su Xiaotian's opinion, although it is difficult to live in the capital at this time, it is much easier than living in the capital later.
You know, in another ten or twenty years, it will be too difficult for a foreigner to settle in the capital, with various conditions.
It’s just that there is too little money on hand right now.
If you have more money, you can just buy a house and stay in the capital to start a small business or something.
This is an age of gold everywhere, but the amount of gold in different places is also different. For example, although there is gold in my hometown, how can it compare with the capital?
Su Xiaotian had to start thinking about the feasibility of letting the whole family live in the capital.
Although she thought a lot, she also knew that she was just a child, and her family might not be able to obey such a big deal.
In particular, the eldest father, aunt, second father and second mother all have very stable jobs now, so they don't want to move, right?
Otherwise, let the grandparents come over first?
Su Xiaotian thought about it and felt that this was actually feasible.
The two were silent for a while, until Du Tonghe came over.
"Ruiyuan, it's time to cook."
Yu Ruiyuan was startled by Du Tonghe's voice, and then she remembered that it was not time to cook. The two children might not have eaten well along the way.
She was so confused that she forgot such an important thing.
As for Hua Xiucheng, who was suspected to be her husband's illegitimate son, Yu Ruiyuan filtered it out.
Du Tonghe felt that something was wrong with his wife, but he didn't think much about it.
After all, the second child and his family had a quarrel just now, so it is understandable that Ruiyuan is in a bad mood.
Every time the couple came over, Ruiyuan would feel uncomfortable for most of the day.
"Xiaotian, what do you want to eat? Tell grandma and grandma will cook it for you."
Su Xiaotian took Yu Ruiyuan's hand and said with a smile: "Grandma, you can eat anything. I'm not picky about food."
Well, she is indeed not picky about food. As for the reason why she is not picky about food, it is not because when she was the poorest in her previous life, she once lived on steamed buns and boiled water for a week.
What's not satisfying about eating well in this life?
"I asked your grandpa to buy pork ribs early in the morning. How about we eat plum pork ribs for lunch? It's sweet and sour, and even children like it."
Su Xiaotian was obedient and took the initiative to help.
The boys and girls of the Su family were not in the habit of waiting for meals, so they rushed over to help one by one.
Yu Ruiyuan prepared a lot of vegetables and meat, and Su Xiaotian wondered if this was all the old couple's share for this month, right?
In the kitchen, Yu Ruiyuan and several children were busy washing, cutting and cooking vegetables.
Since then, Hua Xiucheng has been left alone and bored.
He was a shameless guest in the first place, so he couldn't box in other people's homes, right?
Then I can only stay idle...
Du Tonghe stood under the eaves of the corridor and became timid when he saw Hua Xiucheng sitting boredly playing with his fingers. He didn't know whether he should step forward.
Although the name is the same, this child looks younger, maybe not?
But there was another voice in his heart: If it wasn't for him, wouldn't he have asked? If he asked, there would always be a chance, but if he didn't ask, there would be no chance at all!
He finally walked over to talk to Hua Xiucheng.
"Comrade Hua!"
"Uncle Du." Hua Xiucheng saw Du Tonghe sitting opposite him and stood up to say hello.
Du Tonghe motioned for him to sit down and talk, but Hua Xiucheng did not object.
Du Tonghe had something to say to him, and he also had something to ask Du Tonghe. The two of them agreed on this point.
"Where is Comrade Hua from?" Du Tonghe's voice trembled slightly when he asked this question.
"I'm from Southwest China, from *province**city." Hua Xiucheng replied seriously.
The place is correct, my son fought in that place.
"How old is Comrade Hua this year?"
"I am thirty-four years old this year!"
Thirty-four?
Du Tonghe's face was a little more excited. When he first heard the name Huaxiucheng, it brought back his memory, but he felt more that he might have made a mistake.
After all, the young man in front of me looks inappropriate for his age.
However, he just said that he is thirty-four years old!
"You look..." Du Tonghe didn't know how to ask.
This young man looked like he was only in his twenties.
Hua Xiucheng touched his cheek and said with a wry smile: "I can't help it, I'm born with this baby face, so I don't look old.
Because of this, I was often laughed at in the army.
When the new recruit Danzi arrived, he was treated as a fellow soldier of the same period, and even made a lot of jokes.
I can't afford to be hurt...
Du Tonghe was silent, his thoughts were drawn back to many years ago.
I still remember that thirty years ago, my son, who had been in the army for three years, wrote home saying that he was injured and was recuperating at a fellow villager's home.
The son used large strokes of pen and ink to describe the home of the fellow villager, especially the people in the home of the fellow villager.
He once said that in that family, there was a four-year-old child with a very cute tiger head and a tiger head, nicknamed Xiao Huzi.
He named the child Hua Xiucheng.
The son even said in the letter that he was about to win. After the victory, he would return to his hometown to marry a wife and give birth to a child as cute as Hua Xiucheng.
Because he wrote about his son's injury in the letter, he was afraid that his wife would worry about it, so he didn't let his wife read it.
But I didn't expect that it would be my son's final work.
Since then, he has never received a letter from his son.
Later, when his son's boss came to deliver bad news, he realized that he could no longer wait for his son to come home.
My son's twenty-year-old young life was left in the mountains of the southwest forever.
For so many years, I have never returned home even in my dreams.
After hearing the bad news about his son, his wife fell ill and he never dared to mention it again.
Until he met Hua Xiucheng, he felt that this child might be someone his son had met before his death. He took the initiative to invite him to his home just to make sure.
"Comrade Hua, do you remember what happened thirty years ago?"
When he asked this question, Du Tonghe's voice trembled and he did not dare to look at Hua Xiucheng at all.
He didn't know whether he wanted this young man to be the little tiger he was back then, or whether he didn't want this young man to be the little tiger.
Hearing about his son's sacrifice is somewhat cruel to an elderly father.
Hua Xiucheng said: "Thirty years ago, I was only four years old, and I don't remember what happened at that time!"
disappointment……
Du Tonghe instantly seemed to have aged several years.
Is he destined not to hear the last bits of information from his son?
Nearly seventy years old, in his twilight years, what could be more miserable than this?
"I don't remember, but my parents told me about my childhood!"
Seeing the old man's shaking body, Hua Xiucheng hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
"Have you ever heard of Du Fulin?" the hopeful old man asked again.
However, Hua Xiucheng shook his head again.
Du Tonghe smiled bitterly, what was he thinking?
How could such a coincidence be possible?
If he meets someone occasionally on the road, how could he be the person he is looking for?
"My mother said that when I was a child, there was an uncle named Du Shengli who lived in my house. She also said that it was Uncle Du who gave me my name Xiucheng."
Hua Xiucheng was afraid that if he spoke slowly, it would irritate Du Tonghe even more, so he hurriedly said all this in one breath.
Du Shengli?
Du Tong and silence.
Suddenly, he remembered that his son said that his name had been changed. In order to celebrate the victory, he changed his name to Shengli.
"Are you really a little tiger?"
Du Tonghe held Hua Xiucheng's arm firmly, unable to believe what he heard.
When Yu Ruiyuan went out, she happened to hear this sentence.
Xiaohuzi, is this child's nickname?
Sure enough, the husband and the child know each other, right?
Is her guess true?
She stretched out her hand to hold the door frame next to her.
However, just after that, she heard Hua Xiucheng's words.
"Are you Uncle Du's family?"
Hua Xiucheng actually didn't dare to think that this would be the case.
An unexpected coincidence meeting really allowed him to find Uncle Du's family?
Over the years, he searched countless times according to the address Uncle Du left, but could not find it.
"I am, I am. Back then, he lived in your house to recuperate from his injuries, right?" Du Tonghe asked anxiously.
"Yes, yes, he was recuperating at our home. Grandpa, don't get excited. Sit down and listen to me slowly!"
Yu Ruiyuan keenly felt that the young man in front of her must have something to do with her son.
She finally couldn't help but stepped forward.
"Tonghe, Comrade Hua, who are you?"
"Ruiyuan, before our son died, he lived in their house for a while!" Du Tonghe said excitedly.
Yu Ruiyuan never expected that the truth would be like this.
She had so many doubts, and the only thing she hadn't thought about was that the young man in front of her had had brief contact with her son.
"Grandpa, grandma, and uncle left some things at our house back then."
The couple looked at each other and couldn't believe it.
When their son died, they only received a certificate and pension, but no relics at all.
But he didn't expect that thirty years later, he would hear the whereabouts of his son's belongings.
"Grandpa, grandma. Over the years, my father and my mother have carefully collected and protected Uncle Du's relics."
Seeing the crystal tears in the eyes of the two elders, Hua Xiucheng hurriedly said another sentence.
"Okay, okay, that's all the last thoughts of our old couple."
Their son was buried in a foreign land, and they thought about bringing him back all the time, but...
Now, they can finally fulfill their wish. A hundred years from now, they will be buried together with their son's belongings and be reunited.
"It's just that I didn't bring it with me on this business trip. When I get back, I will write a letter and ask my parents to send my uncle's..."
"My son, thank you very much. Your family is our benefactor!" Du Tonghe said gratefully.
Yu Ruiyuan was also very grateful. After crying and talking for a while, she remembered that the other children were cooking.
"I came here to call you to dinner, look at my memory!" Yu Ruiyuan got the last message from her son, and she felt much more relaxed.
"Hey, grandma, I can't cook, so I'll help serve the food." Hua Xiucheng also forced out a smile and said.
He decided that when he had the opportunity, he would bring his parents to visit the two elders of the Du family and tell them about Uncle Du's life.
Seeing the second elder like this made him feel uncomfortable.
The parents of a hero may be glorified by others, but only they can understand the pain and hardship inside.
Fortunately, the children of the Su family are all good, and they have a good relationship with the two elders of the Du family, and they seem to get along like family members.
With these children to take care of them, the two elders should not be too sad in the future.
However, Du Tianhe's family still has to think of a way to prevent them from bullying the hero's relatives like this.
When Su Xiaotian and others heard this story, they were very surprised.
They never expected that this person, who looked to be in his twenties at most, was already thirty-four years old.
Moreover, there is actually such a connection with the Du family.
Su Xiaotian, Su Xiaosi and others looked at Hua Xiucheng a little differently.
Is the young man who acted so greedy along the way really a soldier?
"You don't look like a soldier!" Su Xiaosi asked carelessly.
"Then what do you think a soldier should look like? Serious and dark-faced?" Hua Xiucheng said while making a stern expression.
Several children burst out laughing.
Listening to the lively laughter, the Du family couple felt much better.
Why did my son join the army in the first place? Isn't it just for the happy life he has now?
Their son's wish came true, and they should be happy for their son's original decision.
