Ouyang Mingnuo did not publicize the news that Gu Tianqi's mother was coming, and did not even tell Hongying's godmother.

So the only ones who know about it now are her family and Gu Tianqi himself.

Afraid that Gu Tianqi didn't understand his mother's painstaking efforts, Xie Beichen spoke to him and gave him some advice on the way to the train station.

"Did not say?"

Gu Tianqi didn’t quite understand. He looked at Xie Beichen with some confusion. Didn’t he say that his mother came here to assist him this time?

How can I help him if I don’t reveal my identity?

"Yes! Aunt Zhou will definitely stay at our house when she comes. You know Liu Ye comes here often. If you reveal your identity right now, will you still come if you are Liu Ye?"

Xie Beichen turned his head and rolled his eyes at Gu Tianqi who was standing beside him and didn't quite understand the situation. His childhood friend was quite smart when they were on missions, so why did he become so stupid at this moment?

"Right."

Gu Tianqi suddenly realized, he slapped his forehead and grinned foolishly.

Although he still didn't quite understand, it was always right to listen to Xie Beichen's reminder.

After saying all this, Gu Tianqi's focus quickly shifted again. He slapped his forehead and said to Xie Beichen as if he remembered something: "Oh, brother, I finally remembered who that person looks like!"

"Which person?"

Xie Beichen was slightly stunned and was unable to react to who Gu Tianqi was talking about.

"Oh, it's the one we met the next day when you came back a few days ago. Aunt Ouyang thought he was a good person, Doctor Bai Anping!"

Gu Tianqi always speaks his mind in front of Xie Beichen and never hides anything.

He opened his mouth and reported Bai Anping's name directly: "When I first came back, I happened to meet him coming out of our house. From what Aunt Ouyang said, it seems that he was the one who found out that my sister-in-law was pregnant with her third child.

Because of this, Aunt Ouyang was very grateful to him.

After he came back, didn’t he ask me to send him gifts a few times to express his gratitude?

The more I get to know him, the more I find that he looks very familiar. I really feel like I have seen him somewhere before.

This morning, when I was looking through the files in the army, I really remembered it!"

"Who?"

Because the matter was related to Ruan Yu and his mother, Xie Beichen suddenly became alert. He turned his head and glanced at Gu Tianqi, interrupting his chattering and asking him to speak directly.

"Do you still remember An Xilai?"

As Gu Tianqi spoke, he turned around and took out a notebook from his bag, opened it and told Xie Beichen the message he had written in the morning.

"An Xilai has a younger brother, who is almost the same age as Bai Anping.

An Xilai's mother's surname is Bai.

I heard that An Xilai's family had too many children to support, and An Xilai's uncle was infertile, so he adopted his younger brother.

Also because of this reason, the Bai family is quite nice to the An family.

When An Xilai got into trouble, it was the Bai family who came to the army to help with the paperwork. I heard that An Xilai's father passed away early, and his mother did not remarry, and has always lived in his mother's village."

Having said that, Gu Tianqi closed his notebook, raised his head and continued to look at Xie Beichen: "What do you think about this?"

An Xilai...

Xie Beichen was stunned for a long time before he dug out this person's past from the depths of his memory.

If you count it up, that was when he had just arrived at the Hongqi County headquarters.

The border was not peaceful at that time, and saboteurs took advantage of the chaotic domestic environment and became more and more rampant.

The first important task he received after taking office was to lead his comrades in the company to hunt down a saboteur who had fled into the mountains.

But that time he had just arrived here and was not familiar with the environment here.

As a result, their team really met the saboteurs in a narrow road in the forest.

At that time, Gu Tianqi was with him, and there were four other comrades besides An Xilai. What they encountered at that time was a group of stubborn people with obvious firepower advantage.

They discovered the other side's lair hidden in the jungle, and of course, were surrounded by the other side.

The result of a fierce battle was that the new recruit An Xilai showed his cowardice in this tense battle, and chose to retreat back to the snowy den in panic before the battle...

And because of his retreat and fear, a gap appeared on the side he was responsible for defending, allowing the opponent to find a direction to attack.

The consequence of his action was that the two comrades who took turns covering him against the enemy were in danger of being attacked from both sides.

Although Xie Beichen and his team rushed back to rescue them, they were still a step too late, resulting in the two comrades dying on the spot.

It is not known whether it was the tragic sacrifice of his comrade that stimulated An Xilai, but in extreme fear and self-blame, he chose to pick up his weapon again and resolutely fought back against the enemy that was rushing towards him.

The end result was that they waited for reinforcements, but An Xilai died at the same time due to serious injuries.

Everyone saw that An Xilai was afraid of fighting at that time.

So when the matter was finally summed up, his identity authentication became an unresolved focus of controversy.

Some people think that the sacrifice of the other two comrades was due to An Xilai's cowardice. So even though he took up arms to fight back, repelled the enemy's attack and eventually fell on the battlefield, he could only be defined as someone who knew how to correct his mistakes, but could not be counted as a martyred soldier.

But more people believe that although Comrade An Xilai made mistakes in this battle, he finally picked up his weapon, overcame his fear, repelled the enemy's attack, and sacrificed himself to achieve a precious victory!

No one is perfect. No matter whether he has done wrong things before, since he chose to correct it immediately in the end, he is a true hero!

But even though Xie Beichen and the others agreed with the latter view, at the current point in time, they were ultimately powerless. An Xilai was simply identified as a soldier who sacrificed his life to complete the mission, and was not recognized as a martyr like the other two comrades who died.

Although the pension was actually paid according to the martyr's qualifications thanks to the efforts of the brigade commander at the time, there was no red book that symbolized honor.

This became the pain that An Xilai could never accept when his family left.

Especially An Xilai's younger brother who was still young at the time, he rushed over and scolded Xie Beichen, saying that Xie Beichen and others were unfair to his brother!

"Because An Xilai was one of the first comrades who died in the war that we met after arriving at the Hongqi County garrison, I have arranged for people to take care of the families of these comrades over the years.

But originally, there were only An Xilai and his mother left in the An family; now An Xilai is gone, and when the Bai family returned, they took An Xilai's mother and left the village where they once lived.

I later arranged for people to look for them, but I only learned that they seemed to have gone to live with their relatives in G City, and there was no news after that.

If An Xilai's brother is doing well now, he should be Bai Anping's age."

Gu Tianqi pursed his lips and reported what he had learned to Xie Beichen: "Why did he suddenly come back now?"

"I don't know." Xie Beichen shook his head. He actually still had some impression of the young man who looked like a wolf cub back then.

I didn't expect that he would become a doctor.

Of course, that is if their guess about his identity is correct.

"It's okay. After we pick up the person, let's go over and take a look tomorrow!" Xie Beichen was not a person who was willing to leave hidden dangers.

Now that we've discovered that Bai Anping is hiding his identity, we might as well just go to his house and make things clear.

Xie Beichen's decision was approved by Gu Tianqi, and the two of them didn't say anything more, but drove to the train station at full speed.

In this day and age, it is normal for trains to be late.

It was agreed that they would arrive at around 6:00 p.m., but by the time Xie Beichen and his team actually picked up the person, it was already 7:30 p.m.

As soon as Zhou Peifen got off the train, she saw her son who had been waiting for a long time on the platform.

Even if she usually disliked him, when she saw her son whom she hadn't seen for a long time, her eyes would turn red no matter how much she complained.

Xie Beichen called her aunt and did not disturb Zhou Peifen and Gu Tianqi's reunion. He went up to help Zhou Peifen move down the luggage piece by piece very quickly.

By the time the last bag fell to the ground, Zhou Peifen and Gu Tianqi had almost said everything they needed to say, and only then did they turn their attention to Xie Beichen, who was working hard and never complaining.

"Beichen, your mother is so lucky. Look at you, you're going to be a father soon. Unlike this bastard in our family, he can't even get a wife!"

It's true that when you compare yourself to others, you get insulted. When she thought that her best sister was about to become a grandmother to three little cuties, but her son hadn't even started yet, she wanted to kick her own son twice.

Fortunately, her good sister thought of her and was willing to let her come over to be a godmother to share in the joy and satisfy her cravings. Otherwise, she would not be bothered to come over and watch this brat get angry!

"Don't worry, Aunt Zhou. Tianqi will be having good news soon." Xie Beichen did not forget to speak up for his childhood friend. The two of them carried things and accompanied Zhou Peifen towards the exit while introducing the current situation.

"My mother has already cleaned up the house you live in. Let's go home and have a good rest. Once you have rested, it won't be too late to lecture you any more."

Zhou Peifen wasn't really angry with Gu Tianqi, so after being teased by Xie Beichen, her emotions naturally came and went quickly.

With Xie Beichen and Gu Tianqi accompanying them, the road to Kaoshantun was not so deserted this time. However, even with a car, they still spent more than an hour on the road under the current road conditions. When Zhou Peifen finally saw Ouyang Mingnuo, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

"Oh, Sister Ouyang!" When Zhou Peifen saw Ouyang Mingnuo coming out of the room, she couldn't help but quicken her pace. She smiled and went over to give Ouyang Mingnuo a big hug: "I miss you so much!"

"Are you thinking about me or Apocalypse?"

Ouyang Mingnuo was not intimidated by Zhou Peifen's sweet words. She smiled and pulled Zhou Peifen into the room, not forgetting to tease her.

"Why would I miss that brat?! As for me, I miss your obedient and soft daughter-in-law more! Ah Yu is getting close to her due date, right? When are you going to the hospital?"

Zhou Peifen did not forget the most important mission of her trip. She turned around and smiled as she shook Ruan Yu's hand, who was waiting in the room. She asked with concern, "How are you doing? Are you eating and resting well now?"

She didn't even have time to rest, and she habitually held Ruan Yu's wrist and began to take her pulse.

Only after he was sure that Ruan Yu was stable did he heave a sigh of relief and turned to Ouyang Mingnuo and said, "It seems that the situation is okay now, but triplets are too rare. I have worked in obstetrics and gynecology for most of my life and have only encountered it twice.

Generally, multiple births have a higher chance of premature birth. My suggestion is that we should go to the hospital to prepare in advance.

Let Beichen and Tianqi go to the city to arrange accommodation first. Since we have the conditions, we can just stay in the hospital and wait until the confinement period is over before going home."

At this point, Zhou Peifen was afraid that Ouyang Mingnuo and the others would misunderstand something, so she immediately added, "I'm not making a fuss.

When I came across multiple births in the hospital, especially the two triplets, I always advised the pregnant women and children to stay in the hospital for the full month of confinement before going home.

Because multiple babies are very likely to suffer from nutritional imbalance in the womb, there are better conditions in the hospital to ensure their health.

If I come home and encounter any emergency, it would be very dangerous!

In the most serious cases, it may even lead to the death of young children.”

Zhou Peifen was not trying to scare people, but to tell the truth in advance to avoid regrets later when something really happened.

What she didn't actually say was that in the two times she encountered triplets, only two children survived.

However, conditions were limited at the time, the war had not yet ended, and the care and nutrition that could be provided after the birth of the child was basically unavailable, so the child who was originally not well-nourished would die, which was really...

But things are different now.

Zhou Peifen felt that in the current environment, if Ouyang Mingnuo and the others were willing to cooperate, and based on her current understanding of Ruan Yu's physical and mental condition, she was very confident that she could ensure that all three children were healthy and lively.

"I'll listen to you." Ouyang Mingnuo agreed to Zhou Peifen's proposal without hesitation.

The reason why she called and wrote to Zhou Peifen to invite her over this time was because she knew that Ruan Yu was a child with triplets and was in great danger, so she wanted Zhou Peifen, who had experience in this area, to come and take charge.

Since Zhou Peifen came over and told her about her arrangements, she naturally gave her full support without hesitation!

"Big sister, we have been friends for so many years, we are no worse than real sisters! I will entrust A-yu and the baby in her belly to you! Please find a way to protect them, especially A-yu's safety!"
