Chapter 6: The Legendary Marriage of Parents
Wang Shuzhen glared at her husband in amazement: "Xuedong... Are you going to go back on your word in front of Teacher Nan? β
Cheng Xuedong was taken aback, and quickly explained: "Teacher Nan gave me half a month off, I must accompany you to see a doctor first." β
"That's all about my illness, as long as I recuperate, what else can I see?"
Cheng Xuedong did not compromise: "No. If I don't find out about your illness, I won't be able to walk steadily. β
Wang Shuzhen saw that her husband was very persistent, so she had to give in: "Okay, I'll let you accompany me to the hospital tomorrow." β
Cheng Xuedong nodded: "Well, that's right." I'll cook for you right away. β
Unexpectedly, Wang Shuzhen struggled to stand up: "You just got off the train, you must be very tired, or should I go cook?" β
Cheng Xuedong pressed his wife's shoulders with both hands, stiffly pressed her sick body back onto the sofa, and said in an irrefutable tone: "You have to be good, sit here and wait for me." β
Wang Shuzhen's physical condition today is really not angry, so she has to leave it to her husband.
Although the temperature in the living room was high enough, Cheng Xuedong was still worried that his wife was wearing too thin, so he went back to the bedroom and found a wife's coat to help her put it on her body.
Wang Shuzhen began to cooperate with Cheng Xuedong and obediently accepted the coat, but as soon as her husband turned around and entered the kitchen, she immediately threw off the coat on her body. It turned out that she had a terrible burn in her body.
Cheng Xuedong was busy in the kitchen for half an hour, then stuffed all the food into the pot, and returned to the living room before they were cooked. However, he had more needles and potions in his hands that he had taken out of the refrigerator. In fact, the small bottle of potion is not a potion at all, but insulin, which is a biological agent that needs to be stored in a low temperature environment.
"Shuzhen, insulin injections before meals."
Wang Shuzhen nodded, and immediately rolled up the sleeves of her shirt high and faded all the way to her arms.
Cheng Xuedong's technique is like that of a skilled nurse, using a needle to draw a certain amount of biological agent from a vial and then inject it into his wife's arm. When he pulled out the needle, he carefully rubbed it near the needle hole with a cotton wool. At this time, he could clearly see that his wife's arm was covered with pinholes.
"Sook-jin... You've suffered..."
Wang Shuzhen looked at her husband's pitying gaze, but smiled: "I must have been a wicked person in my previous life, and it is my turn to be punished in this life, and I will suffer this punishment full of holes." β
"Don't talk nonsense, we are all scientists, and we can't believe in the past life and the next life at all."
Wang Shuzhen hurriedly nodded: "Well, you're right, I'm sick and confused, it's my blessing to meet a husband like you in this life, even if I suffer a little bit of flesh and skin every day, it's nothing." Besides, I don't feel any pain from your needle. β
Cheng Xuedong said with pity: "I really want to stay by your side every day, I really can't bear to see you inject yourself with an injection." β
After Wang Shuzhen was injected with insulin, her spirits instantly improved, and she immediately got up and went to the restaurant to set up the dishes. Cheng Xuedong immediately followed him like a shadow, and tried to dissuade him: "Shuzhen, you better rest, everything is up to me." β
Wang Shuzhen persistently insisted: "No, since I am a housewife now, I should take care of my family more." And, get used to being able to take care of yourselves when you are away. β
Cheng Xuedong couldn't dissuade him, so he followed his wife's rhythm and busily followed.
"You've worked hard enough to cook just now, go wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Cheng Xuedong saw that his wife was full of vitality at all, so he had no choice but to rely on her temperament.
However, when he left the dining room, he turned to another door.
It's also a bedroom, but there are one or two photos hanging on the wall. One of them is a person who looks like an old man, he is Cheng Jue, Cheng Xuedong's old father, who just died of illness. It turned out that this was Cheng's father's bedroom before his death.
Cheng Xuedong looked at his father's photo for a while, and gradually shifted his gaze to the adjacent photo. This is an old photograph of a young woman's delicate face. It turned out that this young woman was Cheng Xuedong's mother. Because she left early, she always fixed herself in the moment of youth.
Cheng Xuedong looked at the photo of his mother, who was much younger than himself, and couldn't help blurring his eyes. He was raised by his father with a handful of and urine since he was a child, and he never experienced maternal love, but he knew the feelings between his parents. More than once, his father told him the story of his time with his mother. It was a legendary love that Cheng Jue would never forget.
Cheng Xuedong looked at the photo of his mother, but the story told by his father sounded in his ears, and the war years half a century ago suddenly appeared in his mind-
Cheng Xuedong's mother's name is Li Jingna, who was born in a family of eunuchs before liberation and graduated from a famous women's normal university. But before he could work, he was recalled by his father to his hometown Linyang to get married. It turned out that she was set to be a baby kiss by her family since she was a child. The man is her childhood sweetheart's partner, and her relationship foundation is good. So, she gladly accepted her father's arrangement.
Li Jingna's man at that time was called Liu Yuhu, a soldier, but unfortunately he was the second lieutenant battalion commander of the National Army at that time, and it was against the background of the People's Liberation Army that broke through the Yangtze River defense line and swept away the remnants of the offensive. At that time, the People's Liberation Army had not yet attacked Linyang, and Liu Yuhu was a representative of the diehards at that time, leading his troops to defend his hometown of Linyang and resist stubbornly to the end.
The Liu family and Li Jingna's family are old friends, and when the old man Liu saw that his son was determined to fight the PLA to the end, he asked Li Jingna's father to marry Li Jingna in advance.
It turned out that Liu Yuhu was the only seedling of the Liu family, and Liu's father was worried that his son would encounter accidents, so he wanted Li Jingna to leave a little blood of the Liu family. In case his son dies in the battle against the People's Liberation Army, he will be worthy of his ancestors.
Li Jingna's father was very aware of Liu's father's good intentions, and because of the misjudgment of the situation at that time, he agreed to the Liu family's request.
At that time, Liu Yuhu was leading his troops to build fortifications on the outskirts of Linyang, and he did not accept the family urging him to return to the city to complete the marriage, but considering that he had not seen his fiancΓ©e for several years, he finally took a day off and led two followers back to their homes in the city.
The family was anxious, and couldn't help but ask him to take off the military uniform and put on a set of groom's clothes, and at the same time sent a team to greet the relatives at Li's house.
Li Jingna had just returned home from the women's normal school in another place for two days, and she wanted to meet her fiancΓ© first, but because the war was approaching Linyang, Liu Yuhu's forward position was already shrouded in danger, and her family did not agree to her going to the front line to meet her fiancΓ© for her safety. In this way, without any contact with Liu Yuhu, she was accepted into the Liu family in a daze.
After some tedious etiquette, she finally met Liu Yuhu in the Liu family's cave room that night.
When she was unveiled by Liu Yuhu, she looked at the groom official in front of her with shy eyes.
Liu Yuhu can be called an authentic soldier, even if he takes off his uniform, he is also a tough man, due to the situation, he has been tense recently, maintaining a solemn expression, even at the wedding, there is rarely a smile, until now when he sees his bride's true face, he shows a tenderness.
"Jingna, is that you?"
Li Jingna stared affectionately at the man in front of her in front of her, but she said in a strange tone: "What are you asking nonsense? Who am I not Jingna? β
Liu Yuhu couldn't help but sigh: "Jing Na, we haven't seen each other for five years, I didn't expect you to become a big girl in a flash, and it's the eighteenth change of a female university, so beautiful that I can't believe it's true!" β
Li Jingna's heart was sweet: "Do you really think I'm good-looking?" β
"Well, you're the most beautiful bride I've ever seen."
Li Jingna looked beautiful: "Brother Yuhu, thank you for your compliment." β
Unexpectedly, Liu Yuhu's expression suddenly tensed: "Jing Na, you really shouldn't have passed through the door at this time." β
Li Jingna's face changed: "Brother Jade Tiger... Have you repented? β
Liu Yuhu waved his hand again and again: "You misunderstood what I meant." At present, the party-state is in a difficult situation, and the communist army is pressing, and our Linyang is at a critical juncture of life and death. I'm afraid you'll be widowed. β
Li Jingna's face also darkened, and she hesitated for a while before she whispered: "Actually, your father asked you to marry me into the door because he was worried about what would happen to you in the future. β
"Alas, you're such a stupid girl, why do you agree when you know this is the case?"
"Brother Yuhu, I don't know much about war, but you have already been rooted in my heart. So, for you, I'm willing to give everything I have. β
Liu Yuhu stared at her beautiful face with grateful eyes for a long time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You are so stupid. β
"Aren't you stupid? I know that the People's Liberation Army is not easy to deal with, but why should I fight to the death with others? When I came back from school, I heard that people were everywhere they went. β
"Hmph, that's caused by the non-resistance of those party-state scum who are greedy for life and afraid of death. If each of us had the courage to burn forever and fight to the end, we would not have allowed the communist army to advance so quickly. β
Li Jingna was very puzzled: "Since your colleagues don't resist, wouldn't you hit a stone with an egg on your own?" β
"And what do you think I'm going to do?"
"Brother Yuhu, if you can listen to my advice, leave the team quickly and become an ordinary person."
"No way!" Liu Yuhu shook his head resolutely, "The party-state has the grace of knowing me Liu Yuhu. Even if I am broken, I will serve the party-state. β
Li Jingna looked up at her groom's resolute expression, was stunned at first, and then swore an oath: "Well, I will strive to conceive your blood and bones, in case you die, the Liu family will also have a successor." β
