Sweet love in military marriage, the educated youth who traveled through the book was spoiled by the

"You are talking about Guan Xiaoling. She is the eldest daughter of our village's widow, Mrs. Wang. This family has a hard life."

When Du Lan heard Xie Beichen and the others asking about Guan Xiaoling, although he was a little surprised, he still enthusiastically introduced them, "I don't know what's wrong with Widow Wang's family, they never have a smooth life.

The child's father died of illness on the way to escape in his early years, leaving Widow Wang alone to raise Guan Xiaoling and her brother. After finally watching Guan Xiaoling and her brother grow up, they thought they had some hope for the future, but Guan Xiaoling's brother fell into the river at the entrance of the village and drowned.

Isn't this equivalent to digging out the widow's heart?

Widow Wang almost died on the spot. She was finally rescued, but she was so traumatized that she was almost useless. She couldn't even speak and could only lie on the bed. She had to rely on Guan Xiaoling for everything.

This child is quite capable and is good at doing housework inside and outside. Although their family lives a tight life, the house is always tidy and clean.

Why are you asking about her all of a sudden?"

Deep down, Du Lan didn't think there was anything wrong with Guan Xiaoling. He just asked a question when he was taking Xie Beichen and the others to Guan Xiaoling's home.

"There's something going on. We might need Guan Xiaoling's help."

Guo Zhen smiled, obviously not wanting to elaborate too much. Duran was also a smart man, and seeing this, he knew that some things were not convenient to say, so he just smiled and quickened his pace.

When Du Lan and his friends came to visit, Guan Xiaoling was drying the jars of pickled vegetables in the yard. She was obviously a little surprised to see Du Lan with two strangers through the fence.

However, despite the surprise, Guan Xiaoling quickly reacted and came forward to help them open the door. She asked in confusion, "Auntie Du, what's the matter?"

"There was a choir audition in the village today, why didn't you go?"

Du Lan didn't bother to introduce himself when he entered the room. Instead, he was very dissatisfied with Guan Xiaoling who was still busy with these jars at home: "If you are selected, in addition to the daily work points, you can also get rice and flour rewards!

You really don't know the difference between the important and the unimportant. When will these pickle jars be sorted? Why do you have to be busy now?"

"Aunt Du, you think too highly of me. I'm so stupid and dumb, how can I sing?"

Guan Xiaoling smiled awkwardly. She made way for Du Lan and the others to enter, and looked at Xie Beichen and Guo Zhen beside Du Lan with some confusion: "Aunt Du, who are these two...?"

"Oh, I was so busy talking to you that I forgot to introduce them. These two are comrades from the city. They said they have something to discuss with you."

In fact, Du Lan didn't know why Xie Beichen and the others came to see Guan Xiaoling, but after all, it was the order of her superiors, so she couldn't say much and could only do as Xie Beichen and the others asked.

"Comrade Guan Xiaoling, there is something we would like to discuss with you."

Guo Zhen took two steps forward, looked at Guan Xiaoling and asked politely, "Can we go in and talk?"

"Okay, okay."

When Guan Xiaoling heard Guo Zhen's question, she did not hesitate and quickly took two steps back to invite Xie Beichen and others in.

"When I came here, I heard from Captain Du that your mother is bedridden at home due to illness. Let's go visit the old lady first." Xie Beichen walked in and did not rush to ask questions, but first suggested to visit Guan Xiaoling's mother.

"Thank you, but my mother has been in poor health and has been bedridden. I am used to the room, but now that you are here, I haven't had time to clean it up yet. I am afraid, I am afraid that..."

Hearing Xie Beichen's request, Guan Xiaoling was obviously a little nervous and resisted. She stuttered and wanted to refuse politely, but Guo Zhen's reaction was so quick that before she could say no, he took the initiative to smile and said, "It's okay, I happen to have a friend who works in the provincial hospital.

This time, I will check on your mother's condition and ask him later. Maybe there is a way to treat and improve your mother's physical condition."

Hearing what Guo Zhen said, Du Lan beside him suddenly became happy. Seeing that Guan Xiaoling was still standing there hesitating, she immediately became anxious and couldn't help but reach out and gently push Guan Xiaoling, urging her: "Silly girl, what are you still doing? Why don't you take the two comrades in quickly?

People are willing to help your mother, this is a great opportunity! You usually look smart, why are you so confused at this critical moment? ! "

"Aunt Du, no, I, you know this before. When we went to see the doctor, the doctor also said that my mother's illness might be cured by going to a big hospital in the provincial capital, but it would cost money.

It's not that I don't want to, it's mainly because you know my family's situation. If it weren't for the uncles and aunts in the brigade and commune taking care of me, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. How could I have the money to send my mother to the province for medical treatment?"

In response to Duran's reminder, Guan Xiaoling's eyes suddenly turned red. She spoke with a choked voice, which made Duran unable to urge her any further.

After all, Guan Xiaoling's situation is right in front of us, and she can indeed be said to be penniless.

“The province has quotas for assistance every year.

Comrade Guan Xiaoling, don't be too sad or discouraged. Let's go see your mother first. There will always be a way out. It's better to have an idea than to do nothing."

Guo Zhen's reaction was very quick. His calm words solved the problem. Guan Xiaoling saw that she couldn't refuse anymore, so she could only smile and thank Guo Zhen and the others, then turned around and led the way, leading Xie Beichen and the others to the room where her mother lived.

Duran obviously came to visit the mother and daughter often. As soon as he entered the room, he took the initiative to walk to the bedside and greeted Widow Wang, who was sitting on the bedside with a pale face and dull eyes, "Sister-in-law Wang, these are two comrades from the city. They heard about your family's difficulties and came to visit you."

It is obvious that Guan Xiaoling takes good care of her mother.

Although the furnishings in the room were simple, it was very clean and tidy. Although her mother had been bedridden for many years, her clothes and the bedding on her bed were all very clean and fresh, which showed that the person who took care of her was very considerate and had never been lazy or treated her badly.

Perhaps it was because everything was done in the open that Captain Duran had a very good impression of Guan Xiaoling and never forgot to take care of her.

Xie Beichen was just about to greet Widow Wang on the bed when he heard hurried footsteps outside the door. A little girl with pigtails ran in and shouted to Captain Duran, "Aunt Du, someone from the commune is here to talk to you! They're waiting at the brigade meeting now!"

"Oh, I understand. I'll go over there."

Duran told the little girl to run back to Xin'er as soon as possible, and turned to look at Xie Beichen and the others with some embarrassment: "Comrades, this..."

"You go ahead and do your work. We are just going to find Comrade Guan Xiaoling to learn some things. After we have learned everything, we will go back to the team meeting."

Guo Zhen quickly said to Duran with a smile, "It's not a big deal. Don't delay it and affect your work."

"Okay, I'll go over and take a look then."

After hearing what Guo Zhen said, Du Lan apologized first, and then turned back as if remembering something and told Guan Xiaoling: "Xiaoling, please take good care of the two comrades for me! Later you can also go over and try out the chorus, maybe you will be selected!

I heard that there is a lot of food provided, don’t miss it! "

At this moment, Du Lan had not forgotten to ask Guan Xiaoling to go to the brigade meeting to participate in the chorus selection. Seeing that she could not refuse, Guan Xiaoling could only force a smile and nod: "Okay, Aunt Du, don't worry, I will be there in a moment."

After hearing what Guan Xiaoling said, Du Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief and left with a satisfied smile.

After Du Lan left, Xie Beichen turned around and looked at Guan Xiaoling who was guarding her mother's bedside. He said softly, "Comrade Guan Xiaoling, we came here this time because we want to verify something with you."

"Ask me. If I know anything, I won't hide it."

Guan Xiaoling took the initiative to move two stools for Xie Beichen and the others, and made a very honest promise.

Xie Beichen nodded and was about to ask a question when he saw Widow Wang, who had been leaning against the head of the bed and had no reaction, suddenly reached out and pushed a small paper bag next to the pillow to the ground. Looking at the broken biscuits scattered on the ground, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"This was given to my mother by Aunt Du when she came over a few days ago."

Guan Xiaoling hurried forward, squatted down to gather the scattered cookies and put them on the table by the window, and took the initiative to explain to Xie Beichen and the others: "My mother can't speak, she meant for me to use these cookies to treat you."

"Thank you, sis."

Guo Zhen glanced at Widow Wang who was staring at him on the bed, and thanked Guan Xiaoling calmly. At the same time, he took out a few food coupons and snack coupons from his pocket and stood up and put them on the table: "This is a little gift from us, don't think it's too little."

"How can this be so embarrassing! I..."

Guan Xiaoling was about to refuse when she saw this, but Guo Zhen quickly dodged her and handed her the receipt back: "Don't refuse, go buy some more snacks for your mother!

This way, if she's hungry, she can eat something to eat while you're at work."

Seeing Guo Zhen say this, Guan Xiaoling couldn't refuse anymore, so she took the bill in her hand and thanked Guo Zhen and Xie Beichen in a low voice.

“Ma San had previously reported to the comrades from the city who came to investigate that he saw a military jeep returning to the city from the highway.

We just went to ask about Ma San's situation, but he said that you were the one who told him the news.

Excuse me, is Comrade Ma San's statement true?"

Seeing that the small accident in front of him was solved, although Xie Beichen had some doubts in his heart, he did not raise them directly. Instead, he waited and saw how things would develop and asked the obvious questions first.

Guan Xiaoling's mother's behavior was very strange, but after all, they didn't have any evidence to prove that there was anything wrong with her reaction.

It would be better to ask the real questions first and then observe. If there is really something wrong with her mother, maybe there will be new discoveries.

"That's what happened."

Facing Xie Beichen's question, Guan Xiaoling did not evade, but nodded very straightforwardly and answered: "That day I went to the fields to weed, around three or four in the afternoon, and I saw a large truck running past on the road beside the fields.

Later, Tian Xiaomei and her friends came over and happened to be talking about her cousin Zhu Wenwen's boyfriend.

She was introduced by Aunt Song from the next village, who said he was in the army. Both sides were quite satisfied with each other. A few days ago, she went to the city to meet him, and the other party drove over to pick her up.

As I listened, I casually mentioned that I had just seen that big car, and said that the car looked quite majestic.

Ma San was also nearby, and when he heard what happened he asked a few more questions, so I just told him what I saw."

Although Guan Xiaoling's story was a bit convoluted, the content was very clear. And it didn't sound wrong.

At least there are no obvious flaws.

"Are you sure you saw the military jeep driving by at around 3 or 4 in the afternoon that day?"

Guo Zhen raised his eyebrows and calmly repeated the question.

"I don't know if what I saw was the military jeep you mentioned, but it looked pretty big and impressive, and it ran pretty fast."

Guan Xiaoling frowned slightly, as if she was thinking, and spoke after a while, but her answer was very cautious.
