Chapter 84
Chapter 82 Eighty-two cups of green tea
Tong Jiaming was awakened by urine.
He sat up and looked at the white sheets on his body with a flash of confusion under his eyes.
He didn’t remember that he was in the hospital until he saw Tong Xuelu sleeping in a chair.
It was her sister who drove him to the hospital under the cold wind, and she was also there to take care of herself.
Now to save money, she actually shrinks to sleep in a cold chair!
Thinking of this, Tong Jiaming’s eyes burst into sorrow.
When Tong Xuelu opened her eyes when she heard the movement, it happened to meet Tong Jiaming’s eyes that were red like rabbits, and she couldn’t help but startled: “Are you feeling sick again? I’ll call the doctor.”
Tong Jiaming quickly said: “I’m fine, I just want to go to the toilet.”
Can holding back urine still make your eyes red?
Tong Xuelu was a little dazed: “Then you go quickly, do you want me to help you pass?”
“No, I can go by myself.” Tong Jiaming looked at her with red eyes, “Sister, thank you!”
When he grows up, he must repay his sister well.
In fact, before today, he didn’t completely accept Tong Xuelu’s sister in his heart. He didn’t know that she had paid so much for this family until today.
After Tong Xuelu waved his hand, “No thanks, you go quickly.”
Tong Jiaming nodded and went out.
Tong Xuelu stood up, stretched, and twisted his bones again.
Although it is uncomfortable to sleep on a chair, the bed sheets in the hospital do not look very clean. She has a tendency to cleanliness, so she prefers to sleep in a chair.
Forget it, she should go to the toilet too, otherwise her eyes will be as tight as Tong Jiaming’s.
After dawn, Tong Jiaming’s fever completely subsided.
It’s just that there were a lot of chickenpox on his body and face, and folliculitis on his head. In short, a handsome young man was so “disfigured”.
When Tong Xuelu saw the dense chickenpox on his face, his intensive phobia was about to come out: “The doctor said you can be discharged from the hospital, but the chickenpox is too contagious. After you go back, you must isolate yourself in the room, especially not with Jiaxin. Get in touch with Mianmian.”
If Tong Jiaxin and Tong Mianmian were also infected, she would not be able to take care of them alone.
Besides, Tong Jiaxin and Tong Mianmian are not as sensible as Tong Jiaming. They will have chickenpox at that time, and the two of them will definitely be tempted to scratch the chickenpox.
In that case, the two of them would become pockmarked.
Tong Jiaming: “I listen to my sister.”
Tong Xuelu: “Also, you can’t scratch the pimples on your face until the chickenpox is cured. If you are scratched, you will definitely leave scars, and then your face will be pitted.”
Tong Jiaming has actually been itching very uncomfortably at the moment, but he nodded his head cleverly: “Okay, I get it.”
Tong Xuelu went to pay the fee, and took some chickenpox medicine from the doctor, and then carried Tong Jiaming back.
Back home, she saw Shen Wanrong washing clothes and sheets in the yard.
Shen Wanrong saw them come back with a smile on her face: “Are you back? Jiaming, come in, you can’t blow the air now!”
Tong Jiaming responded and went into the house by himself.
Tong Xuelu: “Thank you, grandma Shen, and I will trouble you to help us wash the sheets.”
Shen Wanrong smiled and said: “It’s okay, I’m still idle anyway. The morning meal was made by Zhuzhu’s grandfather, and there is still in the kitchen. Have you eaten it?”
Tong Xuelu put the things aside, washed his hands and came to wash the clothes together: “I have eaten, Jiaxin didn’t go to school today, right?”
Shen Wanrong shook her head: “I didn’t go. I think their two brothers and sisters are in good spirits. They should not be infected, but they will go to school in a few days.
Tong Xuelu felt the same way. If both of them were infected, it would be no good to go back to school and infect other students.
After washing the clothes, Tong Xuelu and Shen Wanrong scrubbed the inside and outside of the house with hot water together.
Tong Mianmian watched her sister come back and has not hugged herself, her big eyes are full of tears: “Sister, Mianmian will be very well-behaved and won’t cause trouble to her sister, sister don’t leave.”
She still remembered that mom and dad never came back after they went out, and she was afraid that her sister and brother would be like this.
Tong Jiaxin’s eyes were also red, but he was actually worried last night until now.
He worried that his brother would be sick and gone, and that his sister would leave them behind. In short, he had all kinds of thoughts.
Tong Xuelu rubbed their heads: “Don’t worry, sister will not leave, and your second brother will be fine, even if he is sick now, you can’t be close to him during this time, otherwise you will also be sick and make a face pock.”
Tong Mianmian’s mouth grows into a “0” shape, and tears are still hanging on his eyelashes: “Don’t have pockmarks, Mianmian will become as ugly as the third brother.”
“…”
Tong Jia was sentimental in confidence, and suddenly caught off guard by being stabbed by her sister.
Just look dumbfounded.
Tong Xuelu couldn’t help laughing: “If you don’t want to be full of pockmarks, then you can’t go to your second brother’s room, you know?”
Tong Jiaxin and Tong Mianmian nodded together.
Tong Xuelu made some dim sum and buns before going out to work.
**
Beihe Province, the eighth production team of Hongqi Commune.
Xie Jinhua sat on the kang with a black face: “Didn’t Big Tiger say that he called the army back? Why hasn’t that Commander Xiao come over yet?”
Tong Erzhu dug his ears with his hands: “Mom, they are the commander, and Dahuzi is just a small platoon leader. Where can I arrange the affairs of the commander?”
The third daughter-in-law Feng Zhaodi said, “Mom, are you sure that Commander Xiao is auntie’s old friend? Can you make a mistake?”
Xie Jinhua’s triangular eyes flashed: “You can’t make a mistake! He is as young as he is, and he has the same name and surname. How can he make a mistake? If he makes a mistake, he won’t say that he is coming over!”
Feng Zhaodi nodded: “That’s the reason. I am now worried that he will not believe that Guangtian is his son by then.”
Tong Erzhu dissatisfied: “Mom, I said that I should recognize Commander Xiao as a father. Why would you give your nephew a favor?”
Xie Jinhua glared at him: “If you look a bit like your dead aunt, will I still let Guangtian pretend to be his son?”
This time they will find Commander Xiao, and things have to start from half a month ago.
The big tiger of the production team became the platoon leader of the army. When he returned home, he brought a photo of the army back. Their Tong family also went to join in the fun.
When she saw Commander Xiao in the photo, she was stunned.
Isn’t that man Tong Manzhi’s old friend? He didn’t die that year, and he went to the army?
She immediately asked Dahuzi. If she didn’t inquire, she didn’t know, she was shocked when she inquired!
Unexpectedly, this guy surnamed Xiao would actually become the commander, and he has not been married!
After returning home, she thought about it and thought this was a good opportunity for their Tong family to stand up.
Tong Manzhi and Xiao Zhenting knew that that year was 1937, and it was during the Anti-Japanese War. Xiao Zhenting was not a commander, but a small platoon commander. He was seriously injured during the war and could not keep up with the troops and stayed in the village to recuperate.
At that time, he was staying in Tong’s family to raise his injuries. Tong Manzhi helped to take care of him. The two of them had feelings when they came and went. Tong Manzhi’s shameless caregiver took care of him and went to bed!
Later, Xiao Zhenting recovered from his injuries and left the village to return to the army. Soon Tong Manzhi found out that she was pregnant. She was less than half a month pregnant at that time. After more than nine months, the two of them gave birth on the same day.
Tong Manzhi gave birth to a son, and she gave birth to a stillbirth.
Tong Manzhi had dystocia and hemorrhage at the time. Because she was afraid of being known that she was unmarried and pregnant, she dared not ask for a doctor, let alone sent to the hospital. Her husband Tong Genlai took the child over for her sister Tong Manzhi, saying it was them. The son of two lives.
Now Tong Manzhi is dead, Tong Gen is dead, Tong Dajun is also dead, no one knows what happened back then except for her.
In other words, as long as she casually refers to someone as Xiao Zhenting’s son, he will believe it if he doesn’t believe it.
At first she wanted her son to impersonate her replacement, but Tong Erzhu was three years younger than Tong Dajun, and his appearance was completely different from Tong Manzhi.
That’s why she had to go back to her natal family and give such a good opportunity to her nephew Xie Guangtian.
Although Xie Guangtian didn’t look like Tong Manzhi, there was one or two points between his eyes that resembled Xiao Zhenting when he was young.
She felt that God was helping herself. Once Commander Xiao recognized her nephew, she would kill Tong Xuelu’s group of **** when she turned around!
Xie Jinhua thought about it more and more cheerfully, now I hope Commander Xiao will come quickly.
It’s just that Commander Xiao did not come to the production team immediately after arriving in Beihe Province.
He asked his nephew and grand-nephew to help inquire about the things that year, and then help inquire about the affairs of the Tong family.
At the moment he is listening to his nephew to ask for news.
Xiao Yanghua said: “Uncle, the Tong family has three sons, Tong Dajun, Tong Erzhu and Tong Sanzhuang. Among them, Tong Dajun is the most suitable age. He was born on the first day of the new year in 1938.”
In 1938!
Commander Xiao was shocked. He left the village in May 1937. If Manzhi was pregnant at that time, his age would be right.
Commander Xiao trembled a little: “Where is the other person now? Is it in the production team?”
Xiao Yanghua shook his head: “No, he and his wife were killed by a car in Beijing six months ago.”
Commander Xiao breathed, his face turned pale: “How could this be? Then do they have children?”
Xiao Yanghua nodded: “Yes, Tong Dajun has two children and two daughters. The strange thing is that none of his children have returned to their hometown. Tong’s family often said in the production team that they are not filial and are a scourge.”
A keen eye flashed in Commander Xiao’s eyes: “So, Xie Jinhua is not good to her elder son, and he doesn’t care about the children born to him, right?”
Xiao Yanghua nodded: “I heard from the people in the production team that Xie Jinhua didn’t like Tong Dajun’s eldest son since he was a child. He did all the hard work in the family. Later, Tong Dajun was sent to Beijing to work as a worker because he saved people. Most of them were sent back to their hometown, but Xie Jinhua was still dissatisfied, often saying that the two of them were not filial to themselves.
Eccentric parents are common, but eccentric parents are very strange.
Commander Xiao thought for a while and said, “Prepare a car, and we will go to the production team to meet them today.”
Xiao Yanghua nodded and hurried out to borrow the car. After an hour, they drove to the production team.
The people in my hometown waited for a few days without any news, and they were waiting impatiently.
Just when they were about to give up, a car stopped in front of Tong’s house.
The entire production team was shocked and came to watch.
Tong Erzhu shook his hands and ran into the house from outside: “Mom, Mom! Commander Xiao is here!”
Xie Jinhua was eating an egg. When she heard this, the egg slid into her throat with a grunt, causing her to roll her eyes and almost died on the spot.
Tong Erzhu hurried over and patted the **** back with his palm.
After a dozen shots, Xie Jinhua swallowed the egg in her throat, and there was a tingling pain in her back and throat: “Are you trying to slap me to death?”
Tong Erzhu said: “Mom, Commander Xiao’s car is outside!”
Xie Jinhua’s heart thumped: “Hurry up, don’t you hurry up and invite someone in?”
As soon as the voice fell, two tall men walked into the room.
Among them, the man walking in the forefront looked like he was in his fifties. He was tall and straight, with resolute features, and his eyes were sharp as falcons under his sword brows. When he looked at people, he looked like a sharp sword, which made people shudder.
When Xie Jinhua saw his face, he immediately thought of Tong Dajun.
Fortunately, Tong Dajun is dead, otherwise the two father and son look so alike, she said nothing is useless.
Commander Xiao Yingmu looked at Xie Jinhua: “Tong’s sister-in-law, long time no see!”
Xie Jinhua shuddered subconsciously: “Hello, Commander Xiao. It has been missing for many years. I didn’t expect you to become a commander. It is a pity that Manzhi is not lucky…”
A trace of grief flashed in Commander Xiao’s eyes and interrupted her, “I came back to the village once two months after I left. Why didn’t you tell me that Manzhi was pregnant at that time, but instead told me that she was going to marry?”
It was because he heard the news that he left the village sadly and never came back.
Xie Jin’s heart trembled: “That’s what Manzhi asked me to say. She said that you have no sense of responsibility. She also said that you are a soldier in battle. She doesn’t know when she will die. She wants to find a man who can give her a stable life. .”
“At that time, the bride price had already been given. If it weren’t for the later discovery that she was pregnant, she would indeed marry someone else. I didn’t lie to you!”
Commander Xiao looked at her and said nothing.
This was the same as the news he had inquired about. Tong Manzhi did say a kiss to someone back then, and the man’s family also gave a dowry.
It’s just that he didn’t expect that Manzhi didn’t marry later, let alone she was pregnant with her own child.
Xie Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he believed his words.
Tong Manzhi didn’t want to marry back then. It was she who forced her to marry. Later, because she was pregnant, she forced her to die, so that marriage was abandoned.
Their Tong family lost the man a bag of rice at the time, and she was so angry that she couldn’t do it.
In order to retaliate against Tong Manzhi, until the day she died, she did not tell Xiao Zhenting that she had come back to find her. Tong Manzhi’s death due to dystocia was related to the depression during her pregnancy.
But she would never tell anyone these things, nor would her son and daughter-in-law.
Commander Xiao said: “Where is Manzhi’s cemetery? You asked me to take me over.”
Xie Jinhua was startled: “Would you like to see the cemetery now? Don’t you want to see your son first?”
Commander Xiao: “Go to the cemetery.”
Xie Jinhua met his sharp gaze, and couldn’t say a word of rebuttal.
Had to ask Tong Erzhu to call his nephew Xie Guangtian, and then she took him to the cemetery.
Because of the broken relationship between the four olds, cemeteries are not allowed this year. The so-called cemeteries are actually a pile of soil built up with mud, and a stone is placed in front as the grave.
When Commander Xiao saw such a simple grave, his eyes instantly turned red.
Goodbye turned out to be a life and death separation.
If he could come back again that year, and asked her personally why she wanted to marry someone else, maybe the result would be different.
With the north wind blowing, a crow landed on a branch not far away and quacked, making the surrounding atmosphere even more chilling.
Xie Jinhua was about to speak when she saw her nephew Xie Guang weathering running over.
Xie Jinhua’s eyes lit up and she pulled her nephew and said, “Guangtian, this is Commander Xiao, your biological father, call him father!”
Xie Guangtian couldn’t wait than Xie Jinhua, and knelt down with a “bang”: “Dad, I finally see you!”
Xie Jinhua was startled, and then felt that his nephew was too good.
Commander Xiao turned around slowly, a pair of sharp eyes staring at the middle-aged man in front of him: “Look up!”
Xie Guangtian raised his head, his eyes flushed with excitement: “Dad, I am the son of your mother and you, my name is Guangtian!”
When Xiao Yanghua saw Xie Guangtian’s appearance, he felt a little stunned. Could this talent be his uncle’s biological son?
Commander Xiao was expressionless, turned his head and asked Xie Jinhua: “This is the son of Manzhi and I?”
Xie Jinhua nodded as if smashing garlic: “Yes, he is the son of the commander you and my sister-in-law Manzhi. When my natal sister-in-law came to visit the house for New Year’s greetings, she suddenly had a stomachache and was about to give birth. Later, she gave birth to a stillbirth, and Manzhi gave birth that day. ”
“You also know that Manzhi was pregnant without getting married. This matter should not be known to others. Otherwise, our Tong family and our children will be scolded in the face, so we thought about it and decided to give the child to my natal sister-in-law. , It happened that she had no children, so she always treated Guangtian as her own son!”
Commander Xiao looked at Xie Jinhua, then at Xie Guangtian, and sneered: “You are really a good sister-in-law. You treat your sister-in-law’s son better than your own son. I heard that you treated your eldest son when he was still alive. He treats his enemies the same way?”
Xie Jinhua snorted in her heart, and her hands trembled uncontrollably: “I, my eldest son has a bad temper and is not filial, so I don’t like him.”
Commander Xiao: “You treat me as a fool, and you think everyone is a fool like you? If your eldest son is not filial, how can he send most of his salary back to support you?”
Xie Jinhua’s legs weakened by the drunk and almost fell on the ground: “I, how do I treat my son, that is my business. In short, Guangtian is your son. If you don’t recognize him, you will be sorry for you. And dead Manzhi!”
Hearing Manzhi’s name, Commander Xiao felt as if he was stabbed with a knife in his heart, causing a lot of pain.
Xie Guangtian took out an old silver ring from his body: “Dad, I am really your son. This thing has been worn on my neck since I was young!”
Commander Xiao saw the silver ring in his hand and his pupils dilated.
He walked over to **** the silver ring, and the hand holding the silver ring trembled uncontrollably.
He gave it to Manzhi back then, and promised to come back to marry her, not wanting to see this ring again.
Xiao Yanghua was a little confused. Before he came, he thought Tong Dajun was the son of his uncle, but now seeing Xie Guangtian, he was a little confused.
Xie Guangtian looks a bit similar to his uncle, and he has a token on him. Is he really his uncle’s son?
Commander Xiao looked at the silver ring without saying a word, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed to freeze.
The hearts of Xie Jinhua and Xie Guangtian were beating.
After a long time, Commander Xiao said: “Get up, I have something to go back to the army now. When I come back, I will take you back to recognize your ancestors.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Jinhua and Xie Guangtian immediately became excited.
Xie Jinhua and Xie Guangtian tried their best to keep Commander Xiao at home for dinner, but Commander Xiao refused and soon left the production team in the car.
Although Commander Xiao didn’t leave anything, his words are equivalent to imperial edicts!
From then on, their Tong family and Xie family will go to heaven!
Tong’s family was so happy that they promoted it when they met everybody in the production team and killed both chickens in the family that night.
From now on, they will be relatives of the commander. Who would have rare two chickens?
On the way back, Xiao Yanghua was silent for a long time before asking: “Uncle, do you really believe that Xie Guangtian is your son?”
Commander Xiao: “I’m going to Beijing. I’m going to meet some of Tong Dajun’s children, and then make a decision. I’ll ask you to continue to investigate for me.”
Xiao Yanghua nodded: “Okay.”
Before they came, they didn’t know that Xie Jinhua would push his nephew out, but this nephew was somewhat similar to Commander Xiao, and he had a token on him.
They have to go back and investigate again before they can reach a conclusion.
When Tong’s and Xie’s thought they wanted a chicken or dog to ascend to heaven, Commander Xiao got on the train to Beijing that same day.

base.
Love Sancaiji gathered in the dining hall to eat together again, showing off his partner by the way.
Zhou Yan pointed to Wen Rugui and Huang Qimin and cursed: “You two unscrupulous bastards, if my partner hadn’t come to the base to celebrate my birthday, I would have to celebrate it by myself that day!”
Wen Rugui thought to himself: Fortunately, he went back, otherwise he would regret for life.
Thinking of being kissed that day, the tips of his ears turned red.
Zhou Yan saw that they were silent, and he said: “Yellow Gougdan, Rugui and my subject have both been to the base, and now only your subject has not come here. Tsk tsk tsk, your target should not have you in his heart. Is this person?”
Huang Qimin was not convinced: “My partner treats me well, I will go back and she will cook me braised pork, what do you have to worry about, you have been talking with your partner for so long, have you held hands?”
Zhou Yan heard the words and said, “Holding hands is a hooliganism. How can the conversation partner hold hands?”
Huang Qimin grinned: “It means you didn’t hold hands like this. Comrade Chairman said that it is a hooligan not to get married. My partner and I are going to get married. What’s wrong with holding hands?”
Zhou Yan was sent to the army and turned to Wen Rugui for support: “Rugui, you tell him quickly, holding hands is a hooligan!”
Wen Rugui’s expression was faint: “Holding hands is not a hooligan.”
Huang Qimin raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: “Rugui, shouldn’t you and your partner also hold hands?”
Wen Rugui nodded, and the tips of his ears became redder.
He’s more than holding hands, he was kissed!
Huang Qimin laughed: “Hahaha, Zhou Laxi, the three of us have never held hands alone. Rugui has held hands after talking to you. Are you still a man?”
“…”
Zhou Yan looked at Wen Rugui with a look of disbelief.
Wen Rugui actually held hands with the subject, why is he so fast?
Among the three, he has never held hands. It’s so shameless!
