After hearing Jiang Yue's words, the sister-in-law seemed to have been cast down. She froze in a daze, her expression frozen on the spot.
"Sister-in-law?"
Only then did the sister-in-law wake up from this sudden joy. She didn't know where to put her excited hands. Now she was twisting on her apron, now she put them on her waist, and now she wanted to hug her son.
Immediately, she squatted down weakly, covered her face with her hands, and began to sob.
This was her most real emotion at the moment, real tears of joy.
Since her husband's sacrifice, she has been working hard to be a strong and great mother. For this reason, she has suffered countless injustices, suffered countless hardships, and suffered countless rumors...
She had always suppressed these things silently in her heart and never showed them in front of others. Even if she couldn't help crying, she had to bear it alone in the dead of night when her son was asleep and no one saw her.
She runs the shop by herself, takes care of the children by herself, and takes care of the livelihood by herself.
One person has shouldered all the burdens of life!
She only has one obsession in her heart, which is to train her son to become a talented person.
Just when his store's business was on the right track and his life was promising, the world suddenly changed and dealt a blow to this woman who was soft on the outside but strong on the inside.
No matter how difficult life is, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can always get through it, and your children will always grow up day by day.
But this weird world was far beyond the limit of what a woman of hers could bear.
During those days, she kept the store door tightly closed, not daring to make the slightest sound. She was more humble and cautious than a mouse in a hole in the ground. The slightest movement would make her tremble with fear.
Every time she heard the sound of footsteps, she felt like the end was coming.
She had difficulty falling asleep almost 24 hours a day, fearing that once she fell asleep, bad guys would break in and kill her and her son.
But in the end, what she was afraid of finally came.
On this day, a rough knock on the door finally broke her last bit of luck, and two rough men broke into her shop.
If you open your mouth or shut up, you will requisition all the food in her store, and there will be no conditions.
They were showing off their power under the official banner, but as a woman, she could tell that these two people didn't look like good people at all. The things they robbed of the store were definitely not the so-called official requisition.
To put it bluntly, they are two robbers with official names.
But she didn't dare to say it. She didn't have any qualifications to say no.
Not to mention that they were two grown men armed with live ammunition. Even if they were unarmed, she, a woman, could not resist them.
What's more, she has a child with her. Even if she doesn't think about herself, she still has to think about her child.
One of them, in particular, was always looking at her leeringly, with a look that any woman could understand.
It was a jackal with glistening eyes, and his look was as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Just when she was most desperate and helpless, Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing broke into the store.
She originally thought that it was another group of evil people coming, but she didn't expect that this was a huge turn of events.
It was this turn of events that gave her a little hope again from her already despairing mood.
She no longer had much hope for her own destiny, but the child was still young after all, he was less than six years old. The child was innocent, and since he was so young, he had to leave some hope for him.
She also knows that in today's messy world, hope is such a luxury.
Later, she slowly understood. She saw the incredible power in Jiang Yue and saw Jiang Yue's miraculous abilities.
She figured out something. Perhaps, the young man in front of her was the hope for her child.
If the son can gain great strength like this young man, he will have the ability to survive in this dangerous world.
This is why she wants her son to learn from Jiang Yue.
This is the ardent hope that your son will become a dragon.
Under such circumstances, one can imagine how much impact Jiang Yue's test paper and Jiang Yue's words had on her.
This is absolutely no different than receiving admission notices from the two top universities in China during the Sunshine Era, or even worse!
There are only one or two out of ten thousand people. Doesn’t that mean that her family, Duo Duo, is one of the best among ten thousand people?
At this moment, the woman felt happiness filling her chest.
I just feel that all the hardships and grievances I have suffered in the past are all worth it!
"Big brother, can I learn your skills from you?" Duoduo is young after all, and the concept of choosing one in a million is a bit too profound for him.
However, at such a young age, he is still able to observe people's emotions, and he can tell that his mother's ecstasy and his elder brother's praising tone are probably good things.
Jiang Yue smiled and said: "I will take you to meet a few people first, and you will go to special training for a period of time. Let me see if you are a talent."
"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
The woman couldn't help wiping her tears and stood up slowly holding on to the chair.
She also slowly recovered some of her thinking ability from the ecstasy, and knew that the next step was the key to her son's development.
"Brother, the child's father died early. The child has not had a father since he was a child. I am a womanly person and have no opinions on major matters. But I think, if the child's father is still here, he will definitely allow the child to participate in training. He definitely doesn't want to
His son lives under his mother's wings all day long. He must hope that when his son grows up, he will be like him and become a man who stands upright..."
"So, big brother, if the child is a good seedling, please pay more attention to it!" The woman said and actually wanted to kneel down to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue quickly supported him: "Sister-in-law, please don't do this, it will shorten my life."
The woman wept and said, "I am a woman, I have no ability, I don't have much money, I have nothing to repay you with, so just let me kowtow to you a few times?"
"Mom, let me knock."
As Duoduo said, he knelt down and bang bang bang several times.
Jiang Yue didn't stop him this time, and said with a straight face: "Sister-in-law, Duoduo is a good young man. It's not impossible for me to take him. But there is one thing I must declare."
"you say."
"When I look at people, I first have to look at their character. If their character is not good and they do bad things in the future, not only will I not protect them, I will punish them myself."
"That's for sure, Duoduo. If you learn the skills and dare to do bad things in the future, first of all, I, the mother, will not recognize you, and I will die for you, lest you lose the face of your ancestors. Your father is an upright and good man.
, if you do something embarrassing and Mr. Jiang beats you to death, I won’t even collect your body for you. Do you hear me?”
Duoduo said hurriedly: "Mom, I learned my skills by beating bad people. How could I do bad things?"
The little guy looked angry and turned red, as if he had been humiliated.
"Very well, remember your words and never forget them. If you forget one day, just think of your dad. That is something you should be proud of throughout your life."
"Sister-in-law, there is one more."
"Brother, I will listen to whatever you say."
"In today's world, people's destiny is like a candle. No one dares to say that it will stay lit forever. Even me, I may disappear somewhere someday, or I may be killed by some monster someday.
Swallowed..."
This is a very cruel assumption, but it has to be said.
The sister-in-law looked a little pale, but in the end she nodded calmly.
"I know, I know, human life is like grass, and this is all caused by this damn world. Brother, what is the situation outside now, can you tell us?"
"Yes, big brother, please tell me. If I want to fight bad guys, I have to know who the bad guys are."
The sister-in-law scolded: "Why do you still call me brother? You have to call me master!"
"Haha, this title of master is too old. Let's call it teacher."
"Teacher!" It's much more friendly to call him "teacher!" Duoduo was used to being called "teacher" in kindergarten, so he just started calling him.
Jiang Yue smiled, nodded and said: "The situation in the outside world is becoming more and more serious day by day. Not only are bad people causing trouble, but there are also all kinds of monsters. Just like now, at night, if an ordinary living person walks outside
On the streets and alleys, maybe within half an hour of walking, the world will disappear. This is not to scare you."
"Yes, yes." The woman said with a horrified look on her face, "There are few people here, but occasionally at night, I hear all kinds of screams. I don't dare to look at them. Sometimes I can't stop them even if I cover my ears...
"
"So, sister-in-law, you have to keep a low profile from now on and don't make any noise. Especially if Duoduo goes to special training and you live here alone, you have to cheer up."
Thinking of her son leaving and living here alone, she actually felt even more unsure.
But when she thought about her son going to special training, even if something happened to her, at least his son would be safe. He wouldn't have to live in fear like her every day.
"I will be careful, don't worry." She said this partly for Jiang Yue and partly for her son.
Jiang Yue explained some more precautions and gave her an advanced version of the evil-proofing talisman.
This thing won't allow her to face bad guys, but it can at least ensure that ordinary evil spirits won't come to her door.
At the same time, Jiang Yue silently gave her a shared blessing and shared the armoring skill.
Although it's only 24 hours, it's better than nothing.
Armor skills are still very useful when fighting ordinary villains.
In addition, the sister-in-law has guns at hand, and as a member of the military, her courage is stronger than that of ordinary women. Under normal circumstances, self-protection should not be a big problem.
In this kind of world, not only children, but everyone has to grow up, and no one can just rely on others to survive.
"Brother, the child... will be left to you."
The sister-in-law did not avoid suspicion at all at this moment and held Jiang Yue's hand tightly.
This is the most profound advice a mother can give.
"Sister-in-law, as I said before, since I promised to teach him, I will definitely try my best. Whether he can become a talent or not depends on the child's own character."
Despite what Duoduo said, the character of a child under six years old still showed through when he really wanted to go out.
He hugged his mother tightly and refused to let go. Instead, his mother forcefully opened his fingers and pushed Duoduo out of the house with almost brutal force.
Then she closed the door. The moment she closed the door, she almost collapsed. She leaned heavily on the door panel, and her body slid down unconsciously. She didn't cover her mouth with her hands until she fell to the ground.
Sobbed softly.
Duoduo, who was outside the door, wanted to knock on the door, but Jiang Yue grabbed him and glared at him.
He scolded: "If you knock on the door now, the louder the noise, the worse it will be for your mother. Do you want everyone in the world to know that someone lives here?"
Only then did Duoduo give up.
"Let's go!"
Jiang Yue dragged Duoduo towards the stairs.
When the woman heard that there was no movement outside, she panicked. She quickly jumped up and looked out through the peephole, just in time to see her son's back disappearing down the corridor.
She couldn't help but reach for the door handle, and her first thought was to push the door open and call out.
But reason finally defeated her emotions. Her hand stopped on the doorknob and she did not push the door open after all.
She knew that if she softened her heart, she might delay her son's life.
She also knew that in this cruel world, her ability could not protect the child at all. If the child could not live without her wings, it meant that he would not have any great future in this life.
If you want to grow into an eagle, you must leave your nest.
If you can't accept this current separation, how can you grow?
…
After all, Duoduo has the nature of a child. Although it is the first time he has left his mother, the boy's mind is always yearning for the outside world. The outside world is always more attractive to him than home.
Jiang Yue led him through the dark night, while also explaining to him various dangers he might encounter and avoiding various dangerous people.
For Duoduo, every detail is extremely real and the impression is extremely profound.
"Teacher, if it's so dangerous, why do those people have to wander outside? Are they all bad people?"
"I don't know if they are bad people. Maybe some people are not bad people now, but they may become bad people the next moment."
"Why is that?" Duoduo was puzzled.
"Because they are hungry, because they need food, and because they want to survive. Of course, it is more likely that they are bad guys themselves, and the world has just made them worse."
"Hungry?" After all, he is a child under six years old. Being hungry does not have any deep impression on a child like him who is well taken care of by his mother.
When we arrived at the Operation Bureau, it was late at night again.
Luo Chu couldn't help but joked: "Xiao Jiang, you are used to being a night warrior now."
"Is this child the good prospect you mentioned last time?"
"Duoduo, my name is Director Luo."
"Director Luo." Duoduo raised his head and looked at this unspectacular man.
"Luo Chu, this kid is definitely a good prospect. I have agreed to be his teacher. But even the best prospect needs to be polished. Nowadays, the one that can sharpen people the most is your action bureau. Luo Chu knows the old rules, right?
?”
"How good is it?" Luo Chu's eyes lit up.
"The physical test data is nearly 200. This is the first time I have been tested."
"So high?" Luo Chu's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't even have time to find the ashtray for the cigarette butt he had on hand. He poked the cigarette butt into the sole of his shoe and extinguished it. He walked up to Duoduo and started admiring it as if he were appreciating a work of art.
Jiang Yue stopped him: "Luo Chu, the rules I mentioned..."
"It's long-winded, isn't it just like Sangou? Don't send him tasks before he grows up. How can we not have this sense of propriety for such a young child?"
