Two generations of military wives compete for time

When we arrived at the hospital ward, Wang Ling was lying on the bed receiving an IV drip, her eyes a little dull. Wang Ling's mother was sitting beside the bed with a bitter face, secretly sad.

After Wang Ling's mother learned the purpose of Qian Yizhen and Qian Yiyun's visit, she cried and said to Qian Yizhen, "We don't know anyone in the provincial capital. I caused such great harm to my daughter just to save some accommodation fees. I deserve to die!"

Qian Yizhen held Wang Ling's mother's hand and comforted her: "It has already happened, so don't feel guilty anymore. Let's think of a solution together."

During the chat, I learned that Wang Ling's mother is named Zhang Zhonghui, 45 years old, and she has worked as a sanitation worker in her hometown, sold roasted sweet potatoes, worked as a waitress in a restaurant, etc. After coming to the provincial capital, she has not found a suitable odd job and now makes a living by picking up waste.

Qian Yizhen asked Zhang Zhonghui for his opinion on whether he should work as a cleaner at Minzhen Qizhi Company, with accommodation and lunch provided, and a monthly salary of 30 yuan. Zhang Zhonghui quickly agreed.

Qian Yizhen instructed Wang Ling: "Take good care of your injuries and recover as soon as possible. Your life was given by your mother! You only have one chance to live it. No matter how hard or difficult it is, you must cherish it!" As he spoke, he took out three hundred yuan and handed it to Zhang Zhonghui: "I hope this is helpful to you. When Wang Ling recovers and is discharged from the hospital, remember to come to work in my company." After that, he took out a business card and handed it to Zhang Zhonghui, telling her the address and landline number of Minzhen Qizhi Company.

Zhang Zhonghui expressed his gratitude profusely.

After returning home, Qian Yizheng sat down on the sofa, feeling a little tired. She touched her belly which was getting bigger day by day and felt her body getting heavier and heavier. At this time, the little guy in her belly moved a little, and she immediately felt much better.

Qian Yiyun asked her sister: "What do you want to eat tonight?" "Hot and sour soup." Qian Yizheng blurted out.

Qian Yizhen took a short break and thought of Ming Yuanhui's letter, which he hadn't read yet, so he opened the envelope and started reading.

Knowing that sister-in-law Hao Xia was coming to the provincial capital to visit Qian Yizhen, Qian Yizhen was a little excited and immediately said to Qian Yiyun who was cooking in the kitchen: "Please take some time to clean up the empty room and accompany me to buy a double bed tomorrow." Qian Yiyun glanced at Qian Yizhen, a little puzzled, but still nodded.

Three days later, driver Shi Jiayang drove to the train station and took Sister Hao Xia home. Qian Yizheng looked at the thin and somewhat old Sister Hao Xia, and couldn't help feeling deeply moved. Thinking about the rosy-cheeked Sister Hao Xia a few years ago, they were completely different people.

"Why didn't my eldest niece Hongmei come with you?" Qian Yizheng asked.

"Hongmei is already in elementary school. Seeing that I was in a bad mood all day, she urged me to listen to Uncle Ming and not to stay at home alone, but to go find Aunt Yizhen to relax. She is now staying at her classmate's house, and we go to and from school together every day, so I don't have to worry about her." Sister-in-law Hao Xia said with relief.

"Hongmei has grown up and knows how to feel sorry for her mother. It's so nice to have a little cotton-padded jacket!" Qian Yizheng sighed.

Sister-in-law Hao Xia looked at Qian Yizheng's bulging belly and said affirmatively: "I think you are pregnant with a little girl." Qian Yizheng asked in confusion: "How do you know?" "It's easy. I can tell from the shape of your belly." Sister-in-law Hao Xia showed a long-lost smile.

"That's great. As the saying goes, a daughter is her father's lover from the previous life. I will write a letter right away to tell Ming Yuanhui that the baby in my belly is his lover from the previous life. Hahaha!" Qian Yizheng patted her belly gently and talked to herself happily.

When the two met, they chatted non-stop.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Qian Yiyun rushed back to her sister's house carrying the meat and vegetables she had just bought.

When Sister Hao Xia saw Qian Yiyun for the first time, she was stunned for a moment. She felt as if she had seen her before and quickly greeted her, "Sister Yiyun, right? She's so pretty."

"This is Sister-in-law Hao Xia. She's the matchmaker between me and your brother-in-law Ming Yuanhui." Qian Yiyun said politely, "Hello, Sister-in-law Hao Xia." Then she turned around and went to the kitchen to cook.

After dinner, Sister Hao Xia accompanied Qian Yizhen for a walk downstairs.

Qian Yizhen asked: "Sister-in-law Hao Xia, what are your plans for the future? See if I can help you." Sister-in-law Hao Xia sighed and said: "When Li Weiguo left suddenly, I lost my support and the goals and direction in life. I felt that there was no meaning in living. Alas... I am really useless." Sister-in-law Hao Xia wiped away tears unconsciously.

"The dead cannot be resurrected, so you should think about the future. The road ahead is still long, especially for Hongmei, who lost her father. As her mother, you are particularly important to her." Qian Yizheng counselled.

"Thank goodness for meeting you. After listening to your words, my depressed heart feels much better." Sister-in-law Hao Xia said, patting her chest.

After taking a walk, Qian Yiyun went home. Qian Yiyun reminded her sister to go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup tomorrow morning.

"Sister Hao Xia, how about you accompany me to the hospital for a prenatal checkup tomorrow?"

"We're in your territory now, and I'll follow your instructions in everything." Sister-in-law Hao Xia agreed readily.
