I don't know if it was because I felt a little cold after taking off the scarf, and my fingertips trembled a little.
"Girl, tell me, what is your father's name?"
Ning Xiaoguo shook her head: "I don't know what dad's name is... No one told me, but they said that dad died and was buried here..."
"Your surname is Ning? Are you five years old this year?" Su Che asked!
"Yeah!" Ning Xiaoguo nodded.
"Your home is in... the suburbs, Qingyang County, right?" Su Che asked excitedly.
Ning Xiaoguo was obviously surprised that Su Che could say this. She looked at Su Che with wide eyes, but she shook her head: "My family doesn't live in the suburbs, but in the city."
"Oh...not in Qingyang County..."
Su Che's eyes dimmed, and he didn't know whether to be happy or grateful.
Some of the information is correct. When Lao Ning died, he told himself that he must take good care of his wife and daughter. At that time, his daughter was only less than one year old. Lao Ning often said that his daughter
He has been on missions since he was born, and he only took a family leave of less than ten days when he was almost one year old.
It has been four years since Lao Ning died, so it is correct that her daughter is five years old, not to mention her surname is Ning...
Fortunately, this girl's family does not live in Qingyang County, otherwise this Ning Xiaoguo would really be Lao Ning's daughter... If this is the case, Su Che doesn't know how to face Lao Ning who sacrificed his life for his brothers!!
Because, to be honest, the girl in front of me must not have lived a very good life... She didn't even have the most basic things of being well fed, clothed, and kept clean.
The clothes obviously didn't fit her, and were one size smaller than her body. The shoes were also in the style of a boy. They were probably leftovers from someone else... Her little face was flushed with cold, and so were her little hands, which were so red.
Under the small face and small hands, there is chapped skin. It is very chapped. I am afraid that I have not applied hand cream since the beginning of winter... These are definitely not the cracks that can be formed by walking here on the snow today.
"call……"
Su Che let out a sigh of relief.
If this was really Lao Ning's daughter, how sorry I would be for Lao Ning! I promised to take good care of his wife and daughter... Unfortunately, after Lao Ning died, the team was massacred a few months later, and I had no choice but to do so.
Xicai disguised himself as a fool and lurked in the south of the Yangtze River. In the blink of an eye, it has been many years...
For more than four years, although Su Che often asked his adjutant Jiang Hongzhou about comforting the families of his deceased brothers, Jiang Hongzhou also said that there was no need to worry and that everything was being done in accordance with regulations.
However, after all, I did not do these things myself...
However……
Even if this is not Lao Ning's child... so what?
Her father lies in this Jing'an Cemetery!
Her father is also a warrior who to this day cannot write his name and life story on his tombstone!
But the daughter of such a warrior has ended up like this, how chilling!
Think about this.
Lao Ning picked up the girl and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the guard room to warm yourself by the fire."
The little girl was picked up by Su Che and taken to Lao Ji's security room.
"Lao Ji, add some fire!"
"good!"
Lao Ji is obviously no stranger to this girl.
While adding firewood, he said in a reproachful tone: "You kid, it's okay for you to come here at ordinary times. It's snowing so heavily today and you come here alone. How dangerous is it? Come on, put on grandpa's military coat! Look!
Your little face will be frozen..."
Su Che asked: "Lao Ji, does she often come alone?"
"Yeah." Lao Ji nodded: "I think she has been coming here quite frequently in the past few months. If I ask her where she lives, I won't tell her, but there are buses passing by the door. If she comes to take a look, she can find a place to go home on her own.
Road, I don’t have to worry too much..."
Su Che felt strange.
This is so wrong.
He knelt down and said, "Xiaoguo, where is your mother? Why doesn't mom accompany you to see dad?"
Ning Xiaoguo said: "Mom and bad uncle are taking care of my brother."
"Bad uncle? Brother?"
Su Che was startled for a moment.
He had already guessed what was going on.
The warrior died, his wife remarried, found another husband, and had a son.
In such a situation, it is natural to ignore such a little girl...
Obviously, when Lao Ji heard this, he also guessed what was going on.
He just sighed helplessly: "People are in the world, and they can't help themselves. What can you do... No matter how hard you look at this kind of thing, you can't control it, and you can't control it..."
"It doesn't matter!"
Su Che took a deep breath: "My husband Wei Guo died. It's understandable that a wife can't live forever without marrying. However, she can't even take care of his flesh and blood children. This is absolutely unacceptable!"
After saying that, Su Che said: "Xiaoguo, wait a moment, can you take uncle to your house to have a look?"
Ning Xiaoguo shook her head.
Refused.
"Why?" Su Che asked.
"I have a bad uncle at home who beats people..."
When Ning Xiaoguo said the words "bad uncle", her eyes were full of fear and nervousness. Children can't lie, and her eyes can't lie either!
"Bad uncle ever beat you?" Su Che asked.
In fact, Su Che felt relieved after asking this question. It would be better not to ask.
For such a young girl, she thought that man was a "bad uncle" and added the word "bad" in front of his uncle. If he wasn't extremely bad, how could she describe him like this?
Ning Xiaoguo didn't say anything, and Su Che guessed it.
"Then, doesn't your mother care?" Su Che asked.
Ning Xiaoguo sighed: "Mom is in charge, but she also has to take care of her brother..."
Lao Ji's distressed eyes were a little cloudy: "This girl has learned to sigh at such a young age... Why didn't you tell me earlier? You told me that Grandpa Lao Ji is raising you, so you can live here.
Well!!"
Su Che discussed and said, "Xiaoguo, can you take your uncle to your house and help you teach that bad uncle who beats people a lesson? As long as I go, he will never dare to hit you again!"
Ning Xiaoguo still shook his head.
His eyes were just staring in the direction of the cemetery.
He was so looking forward to it, so longing for it, so looking forward to being able to walk in, get closer, get even closer to his "lying down" father.
Su Che asked: "Old Ji, let her go in and take a walk."
The rules here generally prohibit anyone from visiting. After all, even the tombstones are without words. To protect these people's relatives and family members, special care must be taken during worship to avoid trouble.
"Okay!" Lao Ji opened the door: "Girl, you go for a walk..."
"Thanks!!"
The girl was very excited and ran towards it quickly...
In fact, he didn't know which tombstone without words was his father, so he simply bowed in front of each tombstone and kissed the one covered with snow.
About ten minutes passed.
The little girl walked out of the cemetery panting, with a smile on her face, as if she was extremely satisfied, and her attitude towards Su Che and Lao Ji improved a lot.
Said: "Grandpa Ji, uncle, it's time for me to go home..."
Su Che asked distressedly: "Xiaoguo, do you really not want your uncle to go home with you?"
"No." Ning Xiaoguo shook his head: "Because that's not my home, uncle. You guessed it right before. My home is in Qingyang County. Qingyang County is my home. The house I bought now is
Mom, bad uncle, and little brother’s home...you can’t go to their home..."
"Boom!"
When Su Che heard the words Qingyang County, he seemed to feel a bolt from the blue!!
"What did you say? Qingyang County...is your hometown?"
"Well, it's my father and my hometown!" Ning Xiaoguo said.
