Tianning has been much more sensible than other children of the same age since he was a child, and he doesn't like to cry. On the contrary, he loves to laugh very much. When he smiles, he looks very well-behaved, which makes people want to love this child involuntarily.
Everyone said that this child inherited Zhan Yiyang's ironclad character and perseverance, but also inherited Xu Rongrong's warmth.
Therefore, the older he grows, the rarer it is to see him cry.
But this time, his cry could almost tear Zhan Yiyang's heart into pieces.
The six-year-old little guy has never cried like this before. He was heart-wrenching and heartbroken. He cried so much that he couldn't even breathe. It made everyone who heard it sad and everyone who saw it shed tears.
The adults downstairs also heard Tianning's cries and went upstairs, but they just stood at the door, one or two of them with red eyes.
In the face of death, even powerful people are powerless.
No one can help Zhan Yiyang and his son.
They will eventually have to bear this kind of pain once in this life. However, it shouldn't be so early.
Tianning is still too young, and he should not have to bear the pain of losing a loved one at this age.
The little guy was still crying, and Zhan Yiyang could only hold him tightly with red eyes, unable to say a word.
How sad Tianning is, how sad he is. Like Tianning, he cannot lose Xu Rongrong. But, she has left...
I don't know how much time passed, but Tianning's crying finally subsided - he was tired from crying, so he lay in Zhan Yiyang's arms and slowly fell asleep.
Zhan Yilin looked at the elders behind her: "Let's go down, brother will take good care of Tianning."
Go up and cover him with a quilt.
Because she had cried so hard just now, the tear stains on Tianning's face were very obvious, her long eyelashes were still stained with tears, and her eyelids were a little red from his rubbing.
Although he had fallen into a deep sleep, he would still gasp in his sleep, and tears would still flow from the corners of his eyes.
Zhan Yiyang's pain only worsened.
He went to the bathroom and took out a hot towel, wiped Tianning's hands and face, and then sat on the bedside with the little guy, never taking his eyes off his face.
The matter of Xu Rongrong's departure can no longer be undone no matter how great he is.
Therefore, what Tianning has to face after waking up is a life that has undergone tremendous changes. He cannot bring Xu Rongrong back, but at least he can stay with his son.
Maybe because he was too tired from crying, Tianning slept for a long time and didn't wake up until the evening and moved his eyelashes.
Zhan Yiyang saw the little guy making movement, and his eyes were fixed on his face, watching him slowly open his eyes.
Tianning just woke up, and it seemed that Tianning was still unable to react. After a while, his eyes slowly became clear, and he finally realized clearly that the mother he missed so much would never come back again.
Seeing that the little guy's eyes were turning red again, Zhan Yiyang hugged him into his arms: "Don't cry."
Tianning choked and said "Yeah", and finally held back the tears that were about to burst into her eyes.
He remembered what Xu Rongrong had told him since he was a child - a man must be strong.
From that day forward, Tianning changed.
His changes gave all adults a mixture of joy and sorrow.
First of all, after he woke up after crying a lot, he never cried again because of Xu Rongrong, nor did he hold an adult's hand and cry and fuss to find his mother like an ordinary child, as if he was already like an adult.
He realized clearly that Xu Rongrong would never come back again.
The little guy went to school as usual the next day, and seemed to get over Xu Rongrong's departure very quickly. When Zhan Yiyang sent him to the school gate, he waved to Zhan Yiyang as usual: "Goodbye, dad."
He seemed to understand that Zhan Yiyang was as sad as him, and never mentioned Xu Rongrong in front of Zhan Yiyang, as if he didn't miss Xu Rongrong at all. However, Zhan Yiyang saw him staring at Xu Rongrong's photos several times, and before going to bed, he
Hiding in bed and wiping tears did not escape Zhan Yiyang's eyes.
The little guy is sad, very sad.
However, he never said it, and he tried to live the same life as before.
It's just that I rarely see him smiling. He becomes very serious, serious about everything he does, serious when studying, serious when exercising, and even serious when eating.
He is only six years old, and with such a serious attitude, he feels very natural and even makes people feel that he is serious.
This is what the family is worried about - this child seems to have grown up overnight.
Six years old is obviously the most naughty and troublesome age for a child, but he no longer needs adults to worry about him.
When Zhan Yiyang was about to go back to work, although he was reluctant to leave, he never said anything. He just hugged Zhan Yiyang and said, "Dad, when will you come back to see me again?" Xu Rongrong is no longer here, and now he can rely on him.
Only Zhan Yiyang is the only person.
"Can you ask your aunt to come back and take you to the army on the weekend?"
"Okay!" The little guy smiled happily, "Goodbye, dad."
After Zhan Yiyang left, Liang Shuxian was afraid that the little guy wouldn't adapt, so she asked him if he wanted to go over and sleep with her and grandpa, but the little guy just shook his head and went back to his room to sleep.
Everyone hopes that Tianning's childhood can be as normal as that of most children. Therefore, Liang Shuxian tried to take Tianning to play things that most children would play. Every time, he shook his head and refused, focusing on training.
Just like that, another half month passed, and Xu Rongrong's body was still missing.
It was the weekend again, and Tianning was picked up by the army.
Zhan Yiyang had a lot of things to deal with. When Tianning arrived, the driver thought he was in the office and took Tianning to find him.
Tianning was already very familiar with the army. After arriving at the office building, he ran to Zhan Yiyang's office by familiar routes, opened the door and shouted: "Dad!"
"..." There was no response. Tianning looked at the entire office and realized that his father was not here at all.
"Tian Ning?" An orderly saw Tian Ning, smiled and told him, "Your father is in the conference room upstairs."
"Thank you, uncle!" Tianning carried her schoolbag and ran upstairs with her long legs. The orderly didn't even have time to tell him that Zhan Yiyang was in a meeting.
Xiao Tianning was very familiar with the conference room. When he got to the door, he opened the door and called his father. As a result, several eyes were directed at him——
He was stunned. He didn't expect that there would be so many people in the conference room, including the chief. He took a breath and stood at attention: "I'm sorry, chief, I was wrong..., Dad, I was wrong..."
Everyone in the military region liked Zhan Yiyang's son very much, and the commander even regarded him as his grandson. He didn't mind at all that the meeting was interrupted by him and waved to him: "Tianning, come in."
Tianning looked timidly at Zhan Yiyang, who looked a bit like Xu Rongrong. Zhan Yiyang was absent-minded for a few seconds, and then smiled at the little guy: "Come in."
The little guy stuck out his tongue and walked in as if he had done something wrong. Everyone teased him a few words, and he obediently moved to stand next to Zhan Yiyang.
Zhan Yiyang touched his son's head and said, "Sit tight and don't talk."
The little guy was very obedient, sat upright and didn't make a sound the whole time.
When the meeting ended, the leader noticed that Tianning's expression was abnormal and asked hurriedly: "Tianning, what's wrong?"
The little guy almost cried: "I have to go to the bathroom."
It turned out that he was holding back his urine. Everyone laughed: "Why didn't you tell me just now?"
"Dad doesn't allow you to speak..." The little guy's voice was aggrieved.
There was a burst of laughter in the room. Finally, Zhan Yiyang asked the orderly to take Tianning to the bathroom. He said something to Chen Haoran. When he left the conference room, Tianning ran back.
He picked up his son and said, "Are you hungry? Will I take you to eat?"
Tianning nodded and was carried to the cafeteria by Zhan Yiyang.
Two dinners were delivered quickly. There was fish. Zhan Yiyang was afraid that the fish bones would get stuck in Tianning's throat, so he carefully picked out all the fish bones for him. Tianning supported his chin with both hands and looked at his father's movements, looking good.
To the point where it doesn't work.
Neither the father nor the son noticed that the canteen full of people was silent at the moment, and the soldiers looked at the father and son from time to time.
In other words, the soldiers were seeing a side of Zhan Yiyang that was extremely rare. In their impression, Zhan Yiyang was always cold and stern. Especially after Xu Rongrong's accidental death, he became even more stern.
But when he is with Tianning, he becomes a completely different person.
After the meal, Zhan Yiyang took Tianning for a walk to eat. Half an hour later, he returned to the dormitory. He was reading documents and the little guy was doing homework within his reach.
Even though it was quiet, they still felt satisfied.
When both father and son finished their work, it was almost ten o'clock. Zhan Yiyang put down the documents and took Tianning to take a shower.
After coming out of the shower, Tianning ran to bed. It was only then that he noticed that there was a photo frame on the bedside table. The photos in the photo frame were of him and...his mother.
He unconsciously took the photo frame over, looked at Xu Rongrong with a smile on it, and murmured: "Mom..."
Zhan Yiyang came out of the shower and happened to hear Tianning's low call.
He was stunned, and the pain and sorrow that had been deliberately suppressed suddenly came out again, impacting his heart.
After a while, Zhan Yiyang walked over, took the photo frame from Tianning's hand and put it on the bedside table: "Go to sleep."
Tianning huddled under the quilt, came over and hugged Zhan Yiyang: "Dad..."
Zhan Yiyang turned sideways and took the little guy into his arms: "Yeah."
After a long silence, Tianning asked slowly: "Do you miss your mother?" This was the first time in half a month that Tianning mentioned Xu Rongrong in front of Zhan Yiyang. Before this, he had never dared to mention it.
Zhan Yiyang thought that maybe Tianning was finally willing to accept the fact that he would never see Xu Rongrong again, so he mentioned Xu Rongrong. Unlike him, although he had always been aware of it, he still refused to accept it calmly.
Tianning didn't care whether Zhan Yiyang answered or not. He rubbed his chest and called him "Dad" again in a low voice. Then Zhan Yiyang felt a burst of wetness on his chest, and then heard Tianning's some words.
Choking and saying:
"Actually...Dad, I miss my mother very much."
Without any warning, Zhan Yiyang's eyes turned red, and tears wet Tianning's black hair drop by drop...
