Chapter 95 The last wishes of the father and son in the 60s
"Mom, are there any relatives coming to our house?"
Cheng's mother looked puzzled and said, "No." Could it be that her youngest son was seriously injured and was suffering from the trauma?
Seeing that he looked around the room before asking, Cheng's mother's eyebrows jumped slightly, "You, what did you see?"
"Oh, no, no", subconsciously he didn't want anyone to know what he heard, not even his parents.
The village chief pulled Cheng's mother away and said, "Okay, let's go make something to eat for the children. They must be tired after sitting in the car for several days."
After Cheng's father and mother left, only Cheng Xizhou and his comrades were left in the room. The young comrade helped Cheng Xizhou cover himself with a quilt, and he found a spot at the head of the kang and lay down in his clothes.
I am indeed tired. I will take a rest first because I have to rush back to the army tomorrow.
Chang An saw Cheng Xizhou looking around the room with sharp eyes, "What is he looking for? Is his leg injured? Or is his brain injured as well?"
"No wonder he fell in love with Xu Yunyun. It's understandable that he has a damaged brain. Alas! It may be because of your poor brain that Xu Yunyun abandoned her husband and daughter.
If your daughter had not left the village to look for her mother, she would not have been abducted, let alone beaten to death."
Cheng Xizhou was startled and did not try to find the child. He just listened to her silently.
He hasn't even gotten married yet, so where did he get a daughter? Could it be that when he gets married, his wife will give him a daughter?
Judging from the second half of the child's words, his daughter will die? It's also related to that person named Xu Yunyun.
Not sure, keep listening.
As expected, Changan continued to talk to himself, "Xu Yunyun should have heard that Cheng Xizhou is back and is starting to plan how to create an opportunity to meet him.
The day after tomorrow, Cheng Xizhou will see her at the doorstep, and she will bump into him accidentally. That’s how they get to know each other, and then they start to have interactions, and then they start talking about marriage.”
"By the way, are people so anxious to get married these days? They're talking about marriage after knowing each other for less than ten days. That's really fast."
"Oh! I've been out for too long. My father has to go back." Chang'an calculated the time. Lao Liu's father had already finished shoveling the poop for Lao Niu. They would be off work soon, so she had to go back to boil hot water for them.
Cheng Xizhou waited for a long time but didn't hear the child's voice again. He knew that she had left. He didn't know where she was buried. He would go and burn some incense for her when his leg healed.
Chang'an: Living in the old cowshed, don't just burn incense, bring some "offerings", preferably braised pork, meat buns, and White Rabbit milk candy.
Cheng Xizhou muttered to himself, the day after tomorrow.
He wanted to confirm whether what the child said was true. If it was true, he could take precautions and not be tricked by others. But if he didn't marry Xu Yunyun, would his daughter still be born?
He wanted a daughter, a lovely daughter who would follow him and call her daddy.
Just like the child just now, you can tell that he is very cute just by listening to his voice, and his sweet little voice can touch people's hearts.
Cheng Xizhou was lying on the bed imagining what his daughter looked like. As he was thinking, he burst into laughter and scared the little comrade sleeping at the head of the kang awake.
"Company Commander, are you okay?"
No one answered him, Cheng Xizhou was lost in thought.
The young comrade stood up and touched his forehead with some concern. The doctor didn't say that the leg injury would affect the brain.
"I'm fine, you continue to rest. But my mother should be ready for dinner soon, so why don't you wait until after dinner before resting?" Cheng Xizhou came back to his senses awkwardly, with a smile in his eyes.
Xiao Zhao was relieved to see that he was normal, "Okay, do you want me to help you up?"
"No, I can get up by myself, Xiao Zhao, thank you, my leg is just injured, I'm not paralyzed, don't worry, I will be fine in a few days." He just had a limp and could not return to the army.
"Okay then, I'll be back to the team tomorrow. You should rest well at home. I'll be waiting for you in the team."
"Okay." Cheng Xizhou didn't tell him that he couldn't wait any longer. "Xiao Zhao, I wish you a bright future!"
Xiao Zhao smiled innocently, "Thank you, Captain. Xiao Zhao also wishes you a speedy recovery!"
The two chatted about family matters for a while, and then Cheng's mother brought her eldest daughter-in-law into the house with food.
"Thank you, auntie, for bothering you."
"Well, that's nothing. Auntie should thank you for sending my family back to Xizhou. Eat quickly. If it's not enough, there's more in the pot. Just add more."
No one in the Cheng family mentioned the matter of Cheng Xizhou's leg, and the atmosphere was very good.
Chang'an started to boil water when he returned to the cowshed. The iron pot on the stove was a broken one, and it had to be placed at an angle to be used. There was also a large clay pot, and Chang'an used it to boil water.
She did have a pot in her space, but she couldn't just take it out casually. She had to find a suitable reason.
Dayi saw Chang'an coming back from a distance. He put the prepared snacks, roasted chicken legs, and big meat buns into a basket and brought them all to the cowshed.
"Did you keep any for yourself?"
Dayi was helping her light the fire while Changan was eating a big meat bun.
"Yes, young master, don't worry and eat it." Dayi looked at the pot on the stove again and asked Chang'an, "Young master, do you want Dayi to buy a new iron pot?"
"No, this is good. People come here to check from time to time, so we can't use the good things."
The water has boiled, but without a thermos, it can only remain in the pottery jar until Gu Laoliu and the others come back to use it. However, the firewood in the stove cannot be extinguished as the weather gets cold quickly in this climate.
"My little master, can I find you an old thermos bottle?"
"This is fine, preferably a very old one, which looks unsafe to use."
"Okay, then Da Yi will leave first."
"Yeah, go ahead. Just stay at home in this cold weather. Don't go out too often. It's okay to have enough money. You won't be able to use it when we go to the next dimension. You might as well have a good rest."
"First-year students, please listen to your little master. Third-year students and I will go on a long journey these days, and first-year students will stay at home to cook for your little master."
"Then you must be careful." Chang'an knew that they were going to collect the property that the Gu family had given to the servants. There was no need to worry about their strength, but he still gave them a reminder out of habit.
"Okay, I'll miss my little master all the time when I grow up."
He just left the cowshed with a smile, and then met Gu Laoliu and four old men who were returning on the road ahead. Da Yi pretended not to know them and passed them by.
The four elderly people all knew that this person was Gu Zhiqing, who often brought them food. They did not want to greet him in broad daylight so as not to trouble him, so they all tacitly pretended not to know him.
When they returned to the cowshed, they saw a basket full of various foods, all prepared.
"That little Gu Zhiqing is such a kind-hearted child," said Mr. Wei with emotion.
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu subconsciously glanced at Gu Laoliu and Changan. They always felt that this little educated youth Gu was related to the father and son.
They suppressed their thoughts and nodded in agreement with Master Wei, "We don't have anything to give back to others now."
"Isn't it?"
Grandpa Qi took a bun and ate it, and comforted them, "Eat it first if there is food to eat. There will always be a chance to repay him."
Well, double the reward.
