After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back

Xia Qingning did not go out to disturb the two of them, but walked over quietly.

I walked to Guo Yumei's room, but found that she was not in it. When I looked around, I saw Xia Qingcao who had returned to her room after washing up. I asked hesitantly:

"Qingcao, would you like to talk to me?"

Perhaps the more sensible a child is, the more thoughtful he is, and the more he cares about someone, the less likely he is to get close to them easily.

Although Xia Qingcao has always ignored him, every detail shows that he loves this sister in his heart and cares deeply about her.

So before I leave, I must help him untie his knot.

Hearing Xia Qingning's question, Xia Qingcao didn't say anything, but walked quickly into his room, but did not close the door.

Xia Qingning knew that if he didn't close the door it meant he wasn't opposed to chatting with her, so she followed him in.

After entering the room, Xia Qingcao struck a match and lit the kerosene lamp on the cabinet, then sat on the bed with his head down, his face very cold, and did not even look at Xia Qingning who came in.

The light from the kerosene lamp was very weak, but fortunately the room was small and it was enough to illuminate every corner.

In the dim light, Xia Qingning saw that there was nothing in the room except a small cabinet and a wooden bed.

Since there was no place to sit except the bed, Xia Qingning didn't hesitate to walk over and sit directly on the wooden bed.

She was already very light, but after she sat on it, the old wooden bed still made a creaking sound, as if it was resisting bearing the extra weight.

Xia Qingning looked at Xia Qingcao. Under the light, he looked thin and frail. Xia Qingning didn't dare to imagine how such a small body could carry such a large and heavy basket of grass.

Think about Lu Xiaoxue, who is willful and capricious and monopolizes both chicken legs during meals. Then look at Xia Qingcao, who has to do a lot of farm work every day and can only eat bran balls. The two children are about the same age, but have completely different lives.

It is said that children from poor families grow up early! Do they want to grow up early? There is no one to rely on! They can only use their thin shoulders to bear the responsibility that they should not bear at this age.

Xia Qingning collected her thoughts, raised her hand and patted Xia Qingcao's shoulder, trying to force a smile, and said:

"We have grown a lot taller. In two years, we will be taller than you."

Xia Qingcao still didn't say anything. When Xia Qingning patted him, he moved his body to the side, expressing his dissatisfaction with his actions.

"Qingcao, don't be angry with me. I'm going back tomorrow. If you ignore me anymore, you won't have time to get along with me properly." Xia Qingning approached him, looked at him pitifully and said.

Hearing her say that she was leaving tomorrow, Xia Qingcao seemed to forget that she was still angry. She immediately turned to look at her and asked anxiously:

"Leaving so soon?"

Seeing that he was finally willing to talk to her, Xia Qingning smiled and felt much more relaxed. She explained to him:

"I want to stay a little longer to spend more time with you, mom, and brother, but I have to go to work and can't take a leave."

Xia Qingcao was suddenly immersed in the sad mood that her sister was about to leave. She turned around and stopped looking at her.

Xia Qingning knew that he was sad, so she patted his shoulder and said:

"Sister is going to work. When she earns money, she will buy delicious food for us." After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something and asked:

“Is the candy delicious today?”

Xia Qingcao no longer felt so resistant to Xia Qingning, especially when she heard her say that she would leave tomorrow. She felt even more reluctant to let her go, and whispered back:

"good to eat."

"I'll buy you this much in the future, so much that you can't finish it." Xia Qingning gestured exaggeratedly with her hands. Seeing a little smile on Xia Qingcao's face, Xia Qingning finally felt relieved.

How can a child whose heart and eyes are filled with you be really angry with you? He just wants you to coax him, and he will be fine if you coax him.

"Don't worry, I will write to you often in the future. You should study hard at home, take good care of yourself, and don't do heavy work. If you bend your waist, you won't grow taller in the future. I will send money back, and our family's life will get better and better in the future." Xia Qingning reminded her, and then thought for a while and continued:

"I'll take you to the city if I have the chance..."

Before she finished speaking, Xia Qingcao suddenly stood up from the bed, and became excited:

"You lied to me again! You lied to me again! You said the same thing the day before you went to the city. But when we went to the city to look for you, you thought we were poor and embarrassed you, and you didn't even want to see us. You knew that my leg was not good, but you didn't find him a place to stay. Did you know that sometimes he sent you something and couldn't get back in a day, so he just slept under a tree or under a bridge..."

The more she spoke, the sadder she became. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to cry. As she spoke, she suddenly raised her hand and pulled Xia Qingning out:

"I don't want to go to the city. People in the city are not good people. People who go to the city become bad. I don't want to go to the city in my life!"

Xia Qingning, who was pulled out of the room, felt sad and helpless. Perhaps her original incarnation had said the same thing before, but her subsequent actions hurt their hearts.

Now when he heard himself say the same thing again, the half-grown child's defense was immediately broken and he refused to believe her anymore.

After staying at the door for a while, Xia Qingning did not knock again, but said to the person inside:

"I won't lie to you this time. You can come whenever you want. I promise I will never abandon you, my brother, and my mother again."

After waiting for a while, the child inside did not respond at all. She knew that Xia Qingcao was very emotional and needed to be left alone to calm down, so she said softly:

"Don't be sad, have a good rest." After saying this with an apologetic look, he turned and left.

After his sister left, Xia Qingcao finally couldn't hold back his tears. He covered his head with the quilt, trying not to make any sound.

Children from poor families have to make themselves look strong at all times. Even when they cry, they have to be very careful not to make any sound so that others can hear them.
