Chapter 66: Blessings and Misfortunes
After returning home, Tan Jingting explained to Osmanthus and Sasha, and told them that Meng Ruoyu had assigned the original room to him again, and he planned to move there alone. Osmanthus and Sasha were a little surprised, but they also knew that because of them, Tan Jingting endured a lot of gossip and invisible pressure, and if they lived separately, they might be able to stop the mouths of those who did good things.
Tan Jingting moved some of his belongings back to his original residence, and Osmanthus hurriedly followed to help Tan Jingting clean up.
"Osmanthus, Sasha will trouble you to take care of her, she is a young lady after all, and she is still pregnant, sometimes there will be some young lady temper, you can let her more."
"It's okay, Sasha is very easy to get along with, good people, but she is straightforward and quick-witted, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of her." Jing Ting, although you have moved away, it is only a dozen steps away from me and Sasha, you will eat all three meals with us, and I will cook your favorite dishes for you. “
Tan Jingting nodded gratefully: "Osmanthus, it's really hard for you." “
"It's not hard, I'm just a servant."
Osmanthus helped Tan Jingting lay out the futon, boiled the water, and after making tea, he turned around and left.
Tan Jingting's move made the colleagues around him incomprehensible, he Tan Jingting really had nothing to do with the two women in the house, but just took them in and took care of them out of sympathy and affection. In addition, Meng Ruoyu spared no effort to help Tan Jingting clarify, so everyone called Tan Jingting the current Liu Xia Hui, a righteous gentleman who does not sit still.
But there are also those people with dirty hearts who are privately discussing whether Tan Jingting was injured during the war, and that aspect is not good, so he is not interested in women.
Tan Jingting didn't pay attention to these despicable and shameless gossip, what he was thinking about now was how to rise to the top in his career, and then crush those tongue-chewing women under his power.
I was pregnant in October, and once I gave birth, on the day Sasha gave birth, something even more jaw-dropping happened.
Rice, Sasha's husband, an ace pilot on a transport mission on the Hump route, was shot down in a Himalayan valley by a Japanese military plane and survived.
On that day, Rice drove a C-46 transport plane back to Assam, India, on the way to fly over the Himalayan mountain pass when intercepted by two Japanese military planes, although Rice's piloting skills were first-class, but finally because of being outnumbered and was hit by the Japanese military plane on the left wing, the plane in the process of falling, Rice decisively parachuted, the plane crashed, Rice's umbrella bag was hung in the treetops, and then the treetops were broken, Rice fell into the snow, his left leg, left arm and ribs and other fractures, passed out on the snowy mountain. Fortunately, he met a Tibetan who was hunting and carried the dying Les back to the tent, so he was not frozen to death, and later slowly regained consciousness under the treatment of Tibetan medicine. After more than half a year of recovery, Les was finally able to walk with a limp, he said goodbye to his Tibetan savior, and then traveled from place to place, finally to Chongqing, because he remembered that his wife Sasha was still waiting for him to return in Chongqing.
Rice inquired about Sasha's news, and was finally told that Sasha was now living with Tan Jingting, the deputy director of the Chongqing Anti-Smoking Inspectorate. Les came to the anti-smoking inspectorate and saw Meng Ruoyu, who told him that Sasha gave birth in the hospital, and Rice hurriedly rushed to the hospital after hearing this.
Outside the delivery room, Tan Jingting met Rice, the ace pilot who came back from the dead.
"Hello, my name is Les, and I am Liao Shasha's husband." After Rice saw Tan Jingting, he immediately introduced himself.
"You're Rice?" Tan Jingting couldn't believe that the blonde guy in front of him was Sasha's husband Rice.
"Yes, I'm Captain Rice, the ace pilot of the Hump route."
Tan Jingting and Rice hugged each other tightly: "You finally came back alive." “
"How's Sasha?" Les couldn't wait to ask.
"She's going to be a mom soon." Tan Jingting excitedly told Rice the good news.
"Really? Sasha is going to be a mother? Les stretched out his hand: "Congratulations, Tan, you're going to be a dad." “
Tan Jingting was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Rice, I should say this sentence, congratulations to you, you are going to be a father." “
"Me?" Les's deep blue eyes won the boss: "Why me?" “
"Sasha is pregnant with your child." Tan Jingting patted Rice on the shoulder.
“Oh,my god。 How is this possible? How can it be? Rice still couldn't believe his ears.
"You'll know when the kids come out." Tan Jingting looked at the dumbfounded Rice, and didn't know how to explain it for a while.
The door of the operating room opened, and the nurse came out with a blonde baby boy in her arms: "Who of you is Liao Shasha's family?" “
"I am." Tan Jingting and Rice spoke in unison.
Miss Nurse looked at the two of them, and then carried the child to Les: "Congratulations, sir, your wife has given birth to a big fat boy." “
Les took the baby from the nurse's arms, and sure enough, it was blonde and blue-eyed, exactly like himself, and he was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth: "Oh, thank God, thank God for giving me such a wonderful gift." It's amazing, it's amazing. “
Sasha was pushed out of the delivery room, Tan Jingting brought Les to her, and after seeing Rice, Sasha couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart: "Rice, you're still alive, you're still alive, this is really good, great." “
"Sasha, thank you for such a good gift, our family of three is finally reunited."
"Yes, Rice, we're finally reunited." Sasha burst into tears of joy.
Tan Jingting and Osmanthus are happy for Sasha's family reunion.
After being discharged from the hospital, Rice, Sasha and their son returned to Tan Jingting's house together, and Osmanthus carefully served Sasha for confinement.
Rice and Tan Jingting drank and chatted in Tan Jingting's room.
"Tan, I am really, very grateful to you, without you, there would be no Sasha, and without Sasha, there would be no my son."
"Rice, don't say that, it's all God's arrangement, come, let's drink, this first drink, to celebrate your escape from death. Dry"
Les raised his glass and clinked glasses with Tan Jingting: "Yes, for my rebirth." “
"This second glass of wine is a celebration of your husband and wife's reunion. Dry. Tan Jingting toasted Rice with a second glass of wine.
"This third glass of wine is a celebration of your Rice family. Dry. Tan Jingting drank a third glass of wine with Rice.
"This fourth drink, get the fucking out of the way for all the gossip, cheers." Tan Jingting's eyes were drunk: "I can finally prove my innocence, and I can finally wash off the dirty water that was splashed on my body." Come, do it, there is a saying in China called 'those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid', which is me, that is. “
Tan Jingting tilted his head, drained the wine in the cup, and then lay on the table and did not move. Seeing that Tan Jingting was very drunk, Les quickly helped him to the bed.
Les came to Sasha's house, where Osmanthus was wiping the child's body.
"Sister Osmanthus, thank you for your hard work." Les took his son from Osmanthus.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. Rest, and I'll go to the house of Jingting to pack up. “
Osmanthus walked out of Sasha's room with interest, came to Tan Jingting's room, cleaned up the messy dining table, and then made Tan Jingting a cup of strong tea and put it on the bedside table.
Seeing Tan Jingting lying in his clothes, Osmanthus hurriedly helped him take off his leather shoes and coat.
Osmanthus sat on the chair, looking at Tan Jingting in her sleep, she had not admired this man so carefully, Osmanthus looked at Tan Jingting's facial features, sharp edges and corners, full forehead, raised eyebrow bones, thick black eyebrows, although the eyes are now closed, but when they open, their eyes are blazing, their noses are firm, their mouths are square, their ears are lowered, the Adam's apple at the neck is slightly convex, their shoulders are broad, and their arms are thick and powerful.
Osmanthus was still observing carefully, and suddenly saw Tan Jingting turn over and turn his back to her.
Osmanthus felt that she was a bit of a nymphomaniac, so she laughed secretly, and fell asleep on the dining table.
Sasha hugged her son to breastfeed, and Les looked at his wife and children, and kept feeling that he was in a dream.
"Rice, give your son a name."
"Okay, let me think. I know that if it weren't for Tan Jingting, you and our son would not be where you and our son are today. Let's call it Tan. The Chinese name is Liao Jingtan. Let our son always remember his benefactor. “
"Thank you, Les, Tan, Liao Jing Tan." Sasha is grateful that Les knows how to be grateful, and even more grateful to Tan Jingting for reaching out to her when she was in trouble: "Tan'er, Tan'er." “
After the confinement, Rice was ready to return to the United States with his wife and children, and Tan Jingting and Osmanthus came to see each other.
"Les, Sasha, I wish you all a safe journey."
"Brother Jingting, thank you for taking me in when I was in the most difficult time, you are my eternal eldest brother, and you are Tan Er's best uncle."
"Come, let me hug my American nephew." Tan Jingting took the little guy from Sasha's hand and teased him: "Tan'er, Tan'er, don't forget to come to China to find your uncle in the future." ”
"Sister Osmanthus, thank you for taking care of me for so long, I have nothing to give you, this crystal necklace is a birthday gift from my mother, I want to give it to you, please accept it." Sasha took the crystal necklace off her neck and put it on Osmanthus's neck.
Osmanthus was very shy: "I'm a country woman wearing this, it's too inappropriate." It still looks good on you. ”
"No, Sister Osmanthus, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, your heart is like this necklace, crystal clear, pure and beautiful."
Tan Jingting returned the child to Sasha, and then hugged Les tightly and waved goodbye to them.
Before leaving, Rice specially wrote several letters of thanks to the heads of the Ministry of Defense and the Military Committee, thanking Tan Jingting for helping his wife when she was in danger, and praising Tan Jingting as a gentleman and a gentleman.
The officials who received these letters of thanks took a 180-degree change in their attitude toward Tan Jingting, praising him as an envoy of friendship between the Chinese and American peoples, a humble gentleman with a warm heart, and a chivalrous man with affection, righteousness, and responsibility.
Tan Jingting himself didn't expect that this thing, which originally had a negative impact on him, would be set right and become a compliment from everyone. What I didn't expect was that a paper transfer order from the Military Commission promoted Tan Jingting to the special commissioner of the Anti-Smoking Supervision Committee under the Military Commission, and became Meng Ruoyu's boss.
Meng Ruoyu didn't expect that Tan Jingting, who had always been obedient under his hands, would suddenly become his top boss, which made him somewhat unhappy, and he even thought that Tan Jingting relied on women to take the position, if it weren't for Osmanthus and Sasha to come to Tan Jingting one after another, how could he Tan Jingting have any sisters and brothers, brother and sister friendship? said that it was not chaotic, who knows if Empress E's daughter Ying served a husband together? However, to tell the truth, this Tan Jingting is really a character, whether he is an official or a person, he really has a set, it seems that there will be a lot of stammering with him in the future, it can really be described as thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. No one should look good, and the sea should not be measured!
