Reborn in the 1970s, the cold soldier is a bit sweet

When we returned to the army, it was already dark.

Before the two of them got home, a young soldier came to them: "Captain Chu, I have your phone number."

Chu Xingchen nodded to the little soldier: "Okay, I understand, you go ahead."

After sending away the little soldier, he turned to look at Wang Xiaoxiao: "I'll take you home first, and then go to the team."

Wang Xiaoxiao didn't want to stay at home alone in an empty room at this moment: "I want to go with you."

Chu Xingchen tested the temperature of her hands: "Is it cold?"

Wang Xiaoxiao shook his head: "It's not cold."

"Okay, let's go together."

Chu Xingchen said and put her hand into the pocket of his coat.

When the two arrived at the communications room, there were still several young soldiers queuing up to make calls.

Chu Xingchen's office was equipped with a telephone. After he asked the soldier in the communication room for a phone number, he took Wang Xiaoxiao to his office.

The call was from my hometown. After a few rings, the call was answered. The voice of a village cadre came from the call. After learning that it was Chu Xingchen, he handed the phone to Zhou Ailian who was waiting at the side.

In the afternoon, the Zhou family received a letter from Chu Xingchen. After learning that Wang Xiaoxiao was pregnant, everyone in the family was extremely happy.

Zhou Ailian was so happy that she packed her luggage on the spot and went to take care of her daughter-in-law, but Father Chu stopped her and asked her to call the young couple first and ask them what they thought before making a decision.

After Chu Xingchen heard his mother's voice, he asked, "Mom, did something happen if you called me so late?"

"Son, we just received the letter you wrote. How is Xiaoxiao? Is she feeling well?" Zhou Ailian smiled from ear to ear.

Chu Xingchen looked at the little woman sitting in his arms: "Except for being too tired for being disobedient for a day, everything else is fine."

Zhou Ailian frowned: "How can that be done? You need to let Xiaoxiao get more rest. Women are already very tired during pregnancy, so they should pay more attention to rest at this time."

Chu Xingchen silently said to Wang Xiaoxiao, "Did you hear that?", and then said back to Zhou Ailian: "I understand, Mom."

Wang Xiaoxiao reached out and pinched his waist, accusing him of talking nonsense with her eyes. She obviously had a good rest every day.

The corner of Chu Xingchen's mouth curled up, his free hand gently pinched her cheek, and he also refuted her words with his eyes.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Ailian asked Chu Xingchen for his opinion: "Son, do you want mom to come over and take care of Xiaoxiao?"

Chu Xingchen looked at Wang Xiaoxiao and asked her.

The two were so close, Wang Xiaoxiao could naturally hear the voice on the phone. She thought about it and shook her head gently to refuse.

Chu Xingchen respected her idea: "Mom, we are okay now. You take care of your family first, and you can come back later."

Zhou Ailian felt a little regretful but didn't say anything more, and told many things to pay attention to during pregnancy.

Chu Xingchen took a pen and wrote them down one by one.

After he hung up the phone, Wang Xiaoxiao explained why he refused to come to her mother-in-law.

It's not that she doesn't want Zhou Ailian to come, it's just that she's afraid that her mother-in-law will hold her like a glass doll like her mother did before.

Although it is for her own good, many things and behaviors will be restricted, which will make her feel uncomfortable over time.

Chu Xingchen smiled and rubbed her little head: "I didn't think much about it."

So you don't need to explain it specifically.

Wang Xiaoxiao snorted: "It sounds nice, but who knows what's going on in my heart."

Chu Xingchen shook his head helplessly. As expected, pregnant women have changeable moods.

"It's getting late, let's go home quickly."

Wang Xiaoxiao responded.

It was completely dark outside. She playfully got under Chu Xingchen's military coat and laid her hands on his waist like a koala, almost being dragged forward by him.

In this room, Zhou Ailian hung up the phone and walked back together with a woman from a neighboring village who also came to make a call. On the way, she met her neighbor Aunt Liu.

"Where are you going, sister-in-law?"

Zhou Ailian said hello with a smile, her eyes fell on the baggage she was carrying and asked: "Are you going on a long trip?"

Aunt Liu replied: "Yes, I am going to Fuzhou. Do you want to go home?"

Zhou Ailian nodded and asked casually: "Want to visit your old sisters again?"

Aunt Liu has a close sister in Fuzhou who visits her every year. Most people in the village know this.

Aunt Liu said: "Well, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let's go and have a look around and try to come back before the end of the year."

"That's it." Zhou Ailian waved her hand: "I won't waste your time, go quickly."

After Aunt Liu walked away, the woman from the neighboring village approached Zhou Ailian and asked gossiping: "His aunt, is this Liu Xiaoya's mother?"

Zhou Ailian nodded, not wanting to say anything about the Liu family.

The woman didn't notice and continued: "It's such a pity for that child."

Who in this area didn't know that Liu Xiaoya had a promising future, was good at school, and became a doctor, but what people didn't expect was that she died at a young age.

After a few words of regret, the woman started gossiping again: "I heard someone said that the child is not her biological child?"

Zhou Ailian paused for a moment, she really didn’t know this: “Where did the big girl find out?”

The woman suddenly became interested: "Li Lanhua from our village said it. Li Lanhua, do you know? After all, she should be Liu Xiaoya's cousin."

Zhou Ailian replied "I know" and motioned to the woman to continue.

The woman didn't care, and talked a lot: "I heard that the family in your village is just a substitute. Their biological parents are still alive. It is said that they are quite rich. They have to remit dozens of yuan a month." Here comes the money.”

"I used to wonder how the Liu family in your village could become rich if they didn't have any capable people. Their love is earned by raising a daughter."

"Also, if you think about it, the two boys of the Liu family were not sent to school, so why did they send a girl to school? I think it was the request of her biological parents..."

The woman said a lot along the way. Although there was no evidence, it seemed to make some sense.

The two parted at the entrance of the village. Zhou Ailian returned home and briefly explained what Chu Xingchen meant to the family.

After hearing this, Chu's father and Chu's second sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The former thought that he no longer had to be abandoned by his wife, while the latter was grateful that her mother-in-law could continue to take care of her pregnant self.

Lying in bed at night, Zhou Ailian couldn't help but think of what the woman said on the way home. Suddenly she suddenly remembered something and poked Chu's father who was sleeping next to her with her elbow: "Old man, do you remember Don’t you remember the last time Xingchen wrote a letter asking about Liu Xiaoya?”

Father Chu was almost asleep and muttered drowsily: "Remember, what's wrong?"

"I heard a woman from a neighboring village say today that Liu Xiaoya is not sister-in-law Liu's biological daughter."

Zhou Ailian turned over as she spoke: "Old man, do you want to write a letter to Xingchen about this?"

After asking, she expressed her own opinion: "Although I don't know whether it is true or false, I always think it is better to tell Xingchen."

Father Chu's sleepiness was half gone. He recalled what his youngest son wrote in his last letter in his mind, and he immediately decided: "It's too slow to write a letter, so let's make a phone call. You can go to the brigade headquarters and call Xingchen early tomorrow morning. "
