CHAPTER XLV

Zhou Xiaoran didn't plan to bring these things that Chen Yun had prepared for her, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother must have wasted a lot of effort to save these, her small treasury was rich, and there was no shortage of these at all, but Chen Yundi's words changed her mind.

"As soon as your father returned to the city, he exchanged tickets everywhere, and sighed to me, fortunately, we have started to save some money in the past two years, otherwise you won't even be able to get a decent dowry when you get married, and his father will be too unqualified."

Zhou Xiaoran was suddenly full of curiosity about Zhou Zhipeng and Chen Yundi.

"Mom, how did you end up with Dad in the first place?"

Chen Yun seemed to be caught in some kind of good memory.

"In the spring of 1944, I moved back to Shanghai with the Su family, there is a tailor shop in the French Concession, the master inside is quite good at making cheongsam, at that time I love to go, your father will be only in his early twenties, always squatting outside the tailor shop and waiting for customers, as long as he sees other cars pulling guests away, he will always look at people, until they are gone, I saw him suddenly felt that he was very pitiful, so he took his car, and then gradually he became my exclusive driver."

"But I didn't look at this poor boy at that time, and even when he suddenly disappeared one day, I didn't pay much attention to it, because there was another person who occupied all my thoughts at that time."

Zhou Xiaoran knew that the other person must be her biological father.

"He is the eldest young master of the Su family, and he is also your biological father." Chen Yun looked at Zhou Xiaoran.

"Mom...... My grandparents told me about it. ”

Chen Yun smiled: "I'm fine, it's been so long, your grandparents are good people, and they have nurtured me, but I am too confused, and I believe the sweet words of others, I was very painful during that time, and even wanted to die in the past, but when I think of you, I can't make up my mind, although you have not been born yet, but you already have a life, I can't ask you without asking, and I decided your fate for you." ”

"I only went to a place where no one knew me, but I didn't expect to meet your dad here."

"At that time, his original partner had gone, leaving Xiaojun and Xiaoguang behind, he just said at first that he wanted to help me and was willing to marry me, but I didn't want to bother him, he said that he also wanted to find someone who could take care of the children, and we worked together to meet the needs of both parties, so we got married."

"At the beginning, we lived together, and then I accidentally saw his diary, and I learned that he had always liked me, and it was after learning about me and the eldest young master of the Su family that he went home to get married and have children, but I didn't expect that we could have a day together......"

"But I didn't slowly accept him until you grew up, and now that I think about it, I don't know what I was awkward in the beginning, wasting so much time."

Zhou Xiaoran suddenly realized, no wonder Chen Yun and Zhou Zhipeng had no children for so many years, and it was not until two years ago that Zhou Xiaoji was born.

"There are still a long way to go."

Chen Yun smiled, "Yes, a person's life is long, I never imagined that I would live with your father for the rest of my life when I was seventeen." ”

Chen Yun chattered a lot with Zhou Xiaoran, and the mother and daughter became closer than ever.

When Zhou Xiaoran left, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother asked for leave and sent her to the train station.

"Dad, you and my mother should take good care of your health."

Chen Yun couldn't stop crying, "Tell me, just get married......"

Zhou Zhipeng patted Chen Yundi on the shoulder, lifted Zhou Xiaoji in his arms, and told Zhou Xiaoran, "Go and buy everything first, and write back if you still lack anything." ”

Zhou Xiaoran nodded in response, kissed Zhou Xiaoji's little face, and said, "My sister is leaving, you have to listen to your parents obediently." ”

Zhou Xiaoji looked at Zhou Xiaoran ignorantly, and opened his hand to ask Zhou Xiaoran to hug him.

Zhou Xiaoran suddenly felt a sour emotion in his heart, said goodbye to his parents, turned around and got on the train.

Find her position, look around, fortunately there are not many people, although she has tried her best to be simple, but in the end the luggage she carries with her is still very considerable, with her strength to put it on the luggage rack is a little difficult, she was about to ask the conductor to help her, a hand from the oblique insertion.

"Girl, don't take it, I'll help you." After speaking, Zhou Xiaoran felt that her hand was light, and her luggage was already lying firmly on the luggage rack.

Zhou Xiaoran raised her eyes and saw that she was a woman in her thirties and forties, although her face was full of wind and frost, she could still see the good looks of her youth, and she was followed by two daughters, the eldest was seven or eight years old, and the younger was only three or four years old.

Zhou Xiaoran unfolded a big smile at the woman, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

The woman sat down across from her, "Yo, what age are you calling me sister-in-law?" ”

The actual age of this woman should be younger than she seems, and Zhou Xiaoran has seen a lot of such situations in the Poplar Brigade.

"I'm almost twenty years old, shouldn't I call you sister-in-law?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, "I really can't see it, I thought you were only fifteen or sixteen at most, I was thirty-two years old, and I really should be called sister-in-law." ”

Zhou Xiaoran smiled and said, "Not really." ”

So, the woman talked to Zhou Xiaoran, most of them were talking, Zhou Xiaoran only occasionally echoed, saying that she was listening, in this process, Zhou Xiaoran knew that the woman's name was Chen Chunhong, her husband was a soldier in L Province, she had been married to her husband for ten years and gave birth to three daughters, she went with the army this time, and the eldest daughter stayed in her hometown and only brought two younger daughters.

When he learned that the other party was also a military wife, Zhou Xiaoran added a touch of respect to his heart, it was not easy to be married for ten years by himself in his hometown with three children.

Zhou Xiaoran took out two handfuls of white rabbits from his pocket and gave them to the second and third girls, and the two children looked at Zhou Xiaoran timidly, not daring to reach out to grab the candy.

"Ouch girl, you can't give them such a precious thing." Chen Chunhong pushed the candy back to Zhou Xiaoran, Zhou Xiaoran picked up two pieces of candy and peeled them off, and stuffed one into the mouth of the second and third girls, "It's okay, eat it, this is what Auntie invited you to eat." ”

Chen Chunhong looked very embarrassed, "Don't thank your aunt soon." ”

The two little girls held sugar cubes in their mouths, unfolded a shy smile at Zhou Xiaoran, and said "thank you" softly. showed an incredible look for a moment, as if he had eaten something delicious in the world, he must have never eaten it, Zhou Xiaoran looked at it with a sour heart, and wondered, the treatment of soldiers in these years is still very good, and Chen Chunhong's husband has also reached the level where he can follow the army, how to look at the dress and complexion of the mother and daughter, but even the average level of the poplar brigade of farmers is not comparable, it must be a heavy burden on the family.

Zhou Xiaoran sighed in his heart, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

When she got off the train, Chen Chunhong enthusiastically helped her take her luggage down, and Zhou Xiaoran thanked her again.

Tan Shiguo drove to the provincial train station to pick her up.

"Let's go to the department store first." Tan Shiguo agreed with a smile.

After spending all the tickets that Chen Yun gave her, and buying some daily necessities before stopping, Zhou Xiaoran smiled and watched Tan Shiguo rush to pay.

"In the future, my salary will be kept by you." Tan Shiguo leaned into Zhou Xiaoran's ear and whispered.

Zhou Xiaoran looked around, but no one paid attention, so he gently pinched Tan Shiguo's waist, which made Tan Shiguo tense for a while.

Fortunately, Tan Shiguo drove a car to pick her up, otherwise she wouldn't know how to get so many things back.

It was almost dark when he arrived at the resident family area, and Ma Yue came out when he heard the movement.

"I'm still wondering, it's almost dark, why haven't you arrived yet, you definitely won't be able to fire today, clean up a little and come over for dinner."

"Sister-in-law, I'm causing you trouble, we'll come over in a while." Zhou Xiaoran shouted.

Because the furniture Zhou Xiaoran asked for was not much, it had already been ready, and Zhou Xiaoran inspected it and placed it in the position she designated.

"How is the work done, please ask the leader for instructions."

Zhou Xiaoran nodded thoughtfully, "Well, Comrade Xiao Tan's ability to do things is still good, and I will praise him verbally." ”

Tan Shiguo lowered his head and said ambiguously in Zhou Xiaoran's ear: "Is it just verbal praise?" Do you also need to show something in your actions? The hand touched the waist irregularly.

Zhou Xiaoran's body twisted flexibly, out of the control of his big hand, and said angrily: "Sister-in-law Ma Yue is still waiting for us to go over." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked out, Tan Shiguo happily followed behind, the little daughter-in-law had already come, and their days were still long.

"Ouch girl, you can be regarded as here, you don't know, our captain is looking forward to it every day, but he doesn't want to eat." Then he whispered in Zhou Xiaoran's ear: "It was my old Xu who told me." ”

''Now it's okay, big country, you're happy, aren't you?'' ”

Xu Licai also quipped, "Now those soldiers have finally had two good days." ”

Tan Shiguo ignored the quips of Xu Licai and his wife, and said: "In two days, we still have to hold a simple ceremony, and then we will ask the political commissar's sister-in-law to help." ”

Ma Yue immediately said excitedly: "I like to be lively the most, if there is anything I need to do, just greet me." ”

Zhou Xiaoran looked at Tan Shiguo, why didn't she know about this?

Tan Shiguo looked at Zhou Xiaoran seriously, "I can't just let you marry me silently, right?" We must have what we should have. ”

Zhou Xiaoran is helpless, in fact, she is the one who is most afraid of trouble, for the wedding, she only fantasized about it in her previous life, and in this life, it really doesn't matter.
