Because of these conflicts, wars broke out in the Xie family every day. The harmonious situation of the past disappeared. The constant quarrels made the reputation of the Xie family in the village even worse.
A month later, Miao Fengmei suddenly remembered her lame son who lived on the other side of the village and realized that she had not seen the couple and the two money-losing children they kept at home for many days.
She asked around and found out that her son had left the village with his wife and children a long time ago.
Some people said that he had returned to the army, and some people said that he went out to find old comrades to do work. Except for Miao Dashan, who issued the certificate for Xie Changzheng and others, no one knew their real whereabouts.
However, Miao Dashan was tight-lipped. Miao Fengmei asked several times, but he refused to give an answer.
“Third Brother must have returned to the army. If he was just going out to find a job, why would he bring Xu Chunxiu and the others with him? No matter what, he has to wait until he finds a job and settles down completely before taking them over.”
Xie Xiuzhu felt that she might have been deceived by her memories of her past life.
In this life, the day when her Third Brother Xie Changzheng returned home had changed. Did it mean that his leg injury might not be as serious as in the previous life?
“Third Brother fled back to the military region without telling us. It’s obvious that he was afraid that we would know that his leg was healed, and he didn’t want to give alimony to our parents. We have to go find him.”
Xie Xiuzhu thought that if her Third Brother’s leg injury was healed, his achievements in this life would be higher than in the previous life. Xie Wu would also be able to benefit from her biological father and live the glory of a young lady from a cadre’s family and a second-generation red.
She suddenly felt mixed emotions and became more jealous.
“Looking for them? How? Who will look for them?”
Xie Hongjun is more clear-headed than this aunt.
He doesn’t want to fall out with his capable Third Uncle. If he behaves himself now, maybe in the future his Third Uncle will be willing to help him because he is his nephew.
If his grandmother really listens to the instigation of his aunt and goes to the military area to make trouble, ruining his Third Uncle’s future, then this little bit of face will be lost.
“Besides, even if you have the guts to take a train to a border area where you are unfamiliar with the place to look for someone, you still need the captain to give you a certificate. He won’t even tell you where the Third Uncle is going. How can he give you a certificate and let you buy a ticket to go to the army to look for someone?”
Xie Hongjun carefully analyzed their current situation.
Miao Fengmei, who was almost persuaded by her daughter, stopped talking at once.
At her age, the farthest place she has been to is a small county town. If she takes a train for several days and nights and transfers to long-distance buses in the middle, she will lose her life.
Xie Xiuzhu tried to instigate Miao Fengmei several times, but each time, it ended in failure.
Fortunately, she got what she wanted and was finally transferred to the National Cotton Mill Affiliated Middle School. Finally, she calmed down.
***
Two years later—
“Ah Wu!”
Fusheng rode his bicycle and waved at Ah Wu.
“Call me sister.”
Ah Wu trotted over with her school bag on her back, patted Fusheng’s head on tiptoe, then sat on the back seat of the bicycle, and put her arms around Fusheng’s waist.
“Ah Wu— Sister.”
Fusheng knew that if he didn’t call her ‘sister’, the little girl would be in a bad temper with him for a whole day.
Obviously, Ah Wu was not like this before, but after a certain day, she became particularly concerned about the identity of this elder sister. Allowing him not to call her ‘Sister Ah Wu’ instead of just ‘Sister’ was already a concession on her part.
Because Fusheng had his back to Ah Wu, she couldn’t see the boy’s reluctance when he said the word ‘sister’.
The evil-minded wolf boy deliberately drove over some potholes on the road when he was riding his bicycle to take Ah Wu home.
The shock absorption effect of the 28-bar bicycle was not good. The back seat of the bicycle made by Ah Wu was padded with thick cotton. Her butt didn’t hurt, but the psychological fear made her have to close her hands on Fusheng’s waist when she was shaking, and her upper body was completely pressed against the little wolf boy’s back.
He wanted more than just a sister.
