"Xiaoyu, can I call you Xiaoyu?"
Qin Xiaoyu stared at his dark eyes and nodded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Xia Hong suppressed the excited speculation in her heart, she clearly remembered that a month before An Luo's death, An Lao was still like a child, called her and Luo Jingnian and said: Luo Luo is going to be a mother, I didn't expect ah, my little Luo Luo is also going to be a mother, Jing Nian, Xia Hong, I can't get the approval to go to the frontier, if you have time, can you help me go to see Luo Luo?
Luo Jingnian used the relationship of the troops at that time, so he asked for leave to go to the frontier, but it was still too late, and when he could rely on the sea mining area, he only saw Qin Han and An Luo, two grassy graves.
The leader of the mine said to Luo Jingnian with deep regret: "Professor Qin sacrificed his young life to save our mine, and Professor An refused to work on the front line when he was pregnant, refining the precious metals in the ore, and the radiation was also gone, and the child was not saved." β
Luo Jingnian always felt that something was wrong, he didn't understand scientific research, but he knew the general environment at the time, and he also knew that the beryl found in this mine was an indispensable raw material for running a nuclear reactor, as well as cesium, an ideal fuel for rocket engines. An Luo shouldn't have been at the refining site.
Luo Jingnian looked for someone to investigate, but found that during the investigation, he was subjected to all kinds of resistance, and he had to return to the capital when he saw that the holiday was coming.
When he arrived in the capital, Luo Jingnian didn't dare to say to An Zhiyu that he went to the frontier, and it didn't take long for An Lao to be imprisoned in the cowshed.
When Xia Hong thought about it, her heart felt a dull pain, if they had gone to the mining area earlier, An Luo would not have died.
Qin Xiaoyu looked at Xia Hong, who was distracted, and her sad expression made her dare not squeak.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Luo Zhan came home from the training ground and found that Xia Hong was not there, so he knew that he must have secretly come to Qin Xiaoyu. Seeing Xia Hong and Qin Xiaoyu standing together, he chuckled in his heart.
Xia Hong came back to his senses: "I came out for a walk, and I met this child again." β
Qin Xiaoyu bent his eyebrows and greeted Luo Zhan with a smile: "Uncle Luo." β
Luo Zhan nodded slightly, and said to Xia Hong: "Mom, I'll send you the food back, go back to eat." β
"Xiaoyu, will you go to dinner with us?" Xia Hong was annoyed, and she hadn't said a few words to this kid.
Qin Xiaoyu shook his head: "I brought some food." β
Luo Zhan knew that what the student said about bringing rice, that is, bringing a piece of dry food, receiving cold water from the tank, looking at the thin Qin Xiaoyu, and said, "Let's go, if you have anything to say, you can talk while eating." β
Qin Xiaoyu shook his head insistingly, suddenly remembered the wish of the big red horse, and looked at Luo Zhan: "Uncle Luo, where do you still have war horses? Can my big red horse be a war horse?"
Luo Zhan saw Xia Hong's eyes staring at Qin Xiaoyu, and he was reluctant to move away: "Do you want the big red horse to be a war horse? β
Xia Hong nodded happily and stepped forward to hold Qin Xiaoyu's hand: "Let's go, it's boring for Auntie to eat alone." "Why are this kid's hands so cold?
Qin Xiaoyu was a little stunned, she called Uncle Luo Zhan, and called Aunt Xia Hong, what kind of seniority is this, but looking at the reluctance and expectation in Xia Hong's eyes, she involuntarily followed.
Luo Zhan took two portions of rice and two dishes from the cafeteria, and today was just in time for the Friday canteen dinner, four dishes, vegetarian fried eggplant, spicy chicken, cold bitter gourd, and boiled radish.
Xia Hong pulled Qin Xiaoyu to wash her hands, and then pulled her to the table and sat down.
Luo Zhan had already eaten some in the cafeteria, and originally wanted to come back to accompany Xia Hong to eat more, but now that there was Qin Xiaoyu, he turned around and went out of the house, went to the courtyard to fetch water and smoked a cigarette by the way.
Qin Xiaoyu had a habit of eating in his last life, he liked to make a small pit for the rice in the middle of the bowl first, and then put the dishes into the small pit.
Qin Xiaoyu, who hadn't eaten rice for a long time, couldn't help but use chopsticks to make a small hole in the middle of the lunch box, and then put a chopstick eggplant in the small pit and ate it slowly.
Xia Hong was stunned from the beginning when Qin Xiaoyu slowly picked up the small pit, as if she saw the little junior sister say mischievously: "Senior Sister Xia Hong, eating rice like this is particularly delicious, the meat is in the small pit, and the rice next to it will be stained with meat?"
"Granny Luo...... Auntie, why don't you eat?" Qin Xiaoyu took a bite of rice, looked up and saw Xia Hong's eyes shining with tears, looking directly at herself, and touching her face uncomfortably.
"Xiaoyu, how many children do you have?"
"Three, I also have an older brother and a younger sister. β
After eating, Qin Xiaoyu rushed to the sink in the courtyard to wash the dishes.
Xia Hong said to Luo Zhan: "I want to meet the parents of this child. β
"No, I'll tell you later. Luo Zhan shook his head.
"Why?"
"Mom, there are some things I can't tell you, I just want to say one thing, for the good of this child, you can't contact her family. Luo Zhan's expression was serious.
Xia Hong was surprised: "This kid is really not ......"
Luo Zhan shook his head: "I don't know anything. β
"Take me to the office, I'm going to call your dad!" Xia Hong got up and was about to walk out.
Luo Zhan stopped: "Mom, can you tell me, why?"
After Qin Xiaoyu left, Xia Hongcai said in a low tone and slowly told An Luo's story:
An Luo is the old daughter of An Zhilu, soon after An Luo was born, his mother fell ill and died, and the two brothers above have already started a family.
Luo Jingnian and Xia Hong are both proud protΓ©gΓ©s of An Zhilu, when they first met An Luo, it was the second year that Luo Jingnian was just invited by the prime minister to return to China and join the army, when An Luo was only twelve years old, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, he loved to smile and was a little shy.
After Xia Hong and Luo Jingnian got married, they lived very close to An Zhiyu, and An Luo liked Xia Hong very much and often went to Xia Hong to play.
When Xia Hong was pregnant with Luo Zhan, An Luo often poked Xia Hong's bulging belly and asked curiously: "Senior sister, is there really a little doll here?"
Later, Luo Zhan was born, and An Luo was even more rare to hold Luo Zhan, babbling and coaxing.
After Luo Zhan was two years old, the Luo family moved to the Xishan Military Region, which was hundreds of kilometers away, and there was less contact.
An Luo has always been very obedient, but when she was eighteen years old, she fell in love with Qin Han, a college student studying geology.
This is also the most rebellious thing An Luo did, regardless of An Zhilu's obstruction, he resolutely went to the frontier with Qin Han, and never came back......
Xia Hong wiped away her tears, looked at Luo Zhan and said, "Ah Zhan, I can feel that Xiaoyu is your Aunt Luoluo's daughter." β
Luo Zhan was silent, if Qin Xiaoyu was An Luo's daughter and happened to be the child he was looking for, the Luo family would definitely do everything they could, and they would also protect Qin Xiaoyu thoroughly, he thought about it and said, "Mom, I can take you to see Xiaoyu's parents, but can you wait a few days?"
Xia Hong was puzzled: "Why, let's hurry up and ask clearly, if Xiaoyu is An Luo's child, I will take her home!"
