Chapter 110 Dongfang Xiaoqing Comes to Beijing
"Xinyue, don't worry. I've asked, and the logistics director's yard is a bit far from our home. And we have guards and bodyguards, and we won't let irrelevant people come in casually." Sheng Tuanan Jianzhan didn't say anything, but knowing what she was thinking, he spoke to comfort her.
"Well, I'm not worried." Zhan Xinyue smiled and said, "I'm just worried about whether my mother-in-law will let me go to recognize my relatives."
Zhan Xinyue’s worries are not unreasonable. No matter what era it is, filial piety can always oppress people.
She was afraid that Dong Wushuang would say that Dongfang Xiaoqin was the one who gave her life, and they were related by blood. No matter what, she couldn't deny her biological mother.
Sheng Tunan seemed to be thinking about something. The two of them were silent all the way. When they were about to reach the first floor, Sheng Tunan saw Dong Wushuang bringing the buns to the table and immediately said, "Mom, I have something to tell you."
"Ah?" Dong Wushuang stood up suddenly when she saw Sheng Tunan's serious expression. Cold sweat broke out on her face. She asked in a trembling voice, "Your father didn't come home yesterday. Did something happen to him?"
"No, no." Sheng Tunan waved his hand quickly, "The leader understands that Dad has not fully recovered yet, so he let him go to rest before twelve o'clock."
Sheng Tunan finished the meeting at around two in the morning. He went to take a look at where Shen Min'e was sleeping and saw that his father was sleeping soundly, so he did not wake him up.
"I'm scared to death." Dong Wushuang patted his chest. Shen Min'e had experienced countless assassinations over the years. She had been living in fear for more than 20 years, and she would think of the worst at the slightest sign of trouble.
A few people sat down. Sheng Tunan had to rush back to the army for a meeting, so he chose steamed buns and soy milk for breakfast.
Zhan Xinyue brought a bowl of milk to her mother-in-law, rubbed her back, and said softly, "Mom, Dad is a meritorious service to the country. He has made such a great contribution, he must be a blessed man. In the future, everything will be safe and sound."
Dong Wushuang took a sip of milk, patted Zhan Xinyue's hand, and nodded, "Yes, I believe good people will be rewarded."
Sheng Tunan ate five big meat buns and drank a bowl of soy milk. Seeing that Dong Wushuang had calmed down, he wiped his hands and said, "Mom, what I want to say is that Dongfang Xiaoqing will move to the military compound in a few days. If she comes to visit, don't let her in."
"Who is Dongfang Xiaoqing?" Dong Wushuang couldn't remember it for a moment, but then he felt that the name was somewhat familiar, so he held his head and tried hard to recall.
"Mom, she is my..." Zhan Xinyue started to speak, but was interrupted by Dong Wushuang before she could finish her words.
"I remember now, she's a snob!" Dong Wushuang curled her lips, "I will never let such a person in."
"Xinyue, don't worry, your mother-in-law knows what's going on. I won't let her harass you again." Dong Wushuang patted his daughter-in-law's hand, giving her enough sense of security.
Sheng Tunan looked at his watch, stood up and said, "Mom, Xinyue, I'm going to the army."
"Okay, drive carefully on the road." Dong Wushuang and Zhan Xinyue warned at the same time.
Sheng Tunan responded with a "OK" and quickly walked out of the house to drive in the yard.
As soon as he left, Dong Wushuang took Zhan Xinyue's hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, if Dongfang Xiaoqing comes to see you again, tell mom. I'll help you scold her back."
Zhan Xinyue nodded with emotion, lowered her head and began to concentrate on eating breakfast. After eating all the fried dough sticks, Zhan Xinyue couldn't help but say,
"Mom, I thought you would persuade me, saying that Dongfang Xiaoqing gave me a life after all, and asked me to forgive her and recognize her as my relative. But I didn't expect you to defend me like this. Thank you, Mom."
"Silly child, I, your mother-in-law, am not an old-fashioned person." Dong Wushuang touched Zhan Xinyue's head lovingly.
"Your grandmother was not in good health, and it was difficult for her to get pregnant after giving birth to me. Your grandfather was very open-minded. In the 1930s, before the liberation, he said that it was the same to have a son or a daughter. After that, he did not want a son, and having a daughter like me was good enough."
"I grew up in their love and care, and never suffered from the sin of favoring boys over girls. I don't have the idea of favoring boys over girls, nor do I have other feudal ideas. I think people should be clear about what they love and hate, and first of all, they should ensure that they are not bullied. There is no need to compromise."
The more love you receive as a child, the more you will love yourself when you grow up, and you can also teach the younger generations to love themselves well.
Dong Wushuang is such a person. She sympathizes with Zhan Xinyue's experience and doesn't want her daughter-in-law to have anything to do with her so-called biological mother.
If Dongfang Xiaoqing dared to come over shamelessly, Dong Wushuang would scold her so hard that she would lose face!
"Xinyue, Mom has gone to school. Go upstairs and sleep for a while." Dong Wushuang cleaned up the dishes and prepared to go out with the big leather bag containing the lesson preparation books.
Zhan Xinyue then realized that someone was missing, so she asked Dong Wushuang: "Mom, Zhixian is not at home?"
"He went to Huazhong University of Science and Technology. He received a notice last night asking him to report today." Dong Wushuang changed into flat shoes, opened the door, and instructed: "I told Master Chen to make you a delicious lunch. Mom won't be home at noon, so you should have a good rest at home."
"Okay." Zhan Xinyue nodded. After sending Dong Wushuang out, she felt sleepy and went upstairs to sleep.
Zhan Xinyue was very sleepy having slept for less than 5 hours last night, so she slept until after : p.m.
Master Chen knew his limits. He didn't go upstairs to urge Zhan Xinyue to get up until she got up. He prepared all the dishes and cooked the rice. Only when he saw her coming down did he start the fire and cook.
One person can't eat much, so Master Chen fried a bowl of pickled pepper beef and made a loofah soup, both of which are the flavors that people in Hunan Province love.
"It smells so good," Zhan Xinyue felt hungry as she looked at the dishes, "Master Chen, let's eat together."
"I've already eaten." Master Chen replied.
Zhan Xinyue glanced at the time, it was two o'clock in the afternoon, then looked at the round belly under Master Chen's apron, and knew that Master Chen was telling the truth, so she nodded and started eating.
People who practice martial arts have a big appetite.
In a short while, Zhan Xinyue had finished all the food.
After dinner, Zhan Xinyue looked outside and saw that it was cloudy, so she went out for a walk to digest her food.
Most of the houses in the military compound are independent households with high walls and tightly closed gates. There are always one or two guards at the door.
It is not difficult to see that the people living here are of relatively high status.
Zhan Xinyue walked for more than ten minutes and felt that she had digested the food enough, so she prepared to go home.
After taking a few steps, I heard a child's heart-wrenching cry and the faint anxious shout of a woman.
Zhan Xinyue followed the sound and saw a woman in her forties holding a baby crying loudly. She looked at a boy who was only four or five years old and anxiously said to a guard,
"Xiao Guan, go drive the car and take Xuan Bao to the hospital."
The guard was also very anxious and drove the car immediately after receiving the order.
The female comrade then instructed another guard, "Xiao Liu, go to the headquarters and find my father. Tell him that Xuanbao fell down from the wall. Ask him to go to the hospital immediately."
"Yes."
Zhan Xinyue has amazing eyesight and can see Xuanbao's situation clearly even from a distance.
The child can still cry and has not vomited, which means that his head and important internal organs are not injured and his life is not in danger.
But one of Xuanbao's legs was hanging limply, so it must be broken, and it could be healed by bone straightening.
However, Zhan Xinyue knew that doctors don't knock on doors and that knowledge is not easily passed on. Besides, Xuan Bao's life was not in danger, so she did not step forward to help.
After all, she was too young, and if she went up rashly, the female comrade would not believe her.
At this time, Mingxuan had been carried into the car by the female comrade. Zhan Xinyue watched the car drive out of the yard and speed towards the hospital.
