The car sped forward.
I don't know how much time passed before the car stopped outside a military compound. A "Military Management Area" sign was erected in front of the compound. There were two guards with wooden warehouses standing on both sides of the main entrance.
After looking at the situation inside the car, the two guards saluted Mr. Ling with a military salute before letting the car pass.
Su Meng looked at the military green pickup truck that occasionally passed by, and the faint sound of soldiers training coming from the distance. Her mouth opened slightly in surprise.
She never expected that Mr. and Mrs. Ling actually lived in the military compound!
In the last life, although she came to the background to find Su Sui several times, every time they met in other places, she had never been to the place where Su Sui lived.
Even though she knew from Su Sui that the identity of the old couple was not simple, Su Meng was still a little unprepared for the current situation.
Suddenly entering a completely unfamiliar world, Su Meng felt a little worried.
She is far less versatile than Su Sui, nor does she have a delicate heart. She even has a fear of strangers because of her two-year experience of being beaten by a violent middle-aged man in her last life. She didn't dare to approach others easily, and she didn't dare to trust others easily. If she hadn't clearly known the character of Mr. and Mrs. Ling, she wouldn't have agreed to return to the imperial capital with them so easily.
She has no confidence at all about the unknown future.
As if seeing Su Meng's uneasiness, Grandma Zhang gently held Su Meng's hand. Her palm was slightly rough, but extraordinarily warm. This warmth was transferred to Su Meng's hand bit by bit. It was even like there was a magical power flowing slowly along her veins to her heart, making her whole body feel warm.
Grandma Zhang asked, "Did you just see the guard with the wooden warehouse on him?"
Su Meng nodded.
Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. In fact, these guards are easy to get along with. Most people in the compound are also easy to get along with."
most of the people
Does that mean there are still some people who are difficult to get along with
Su Meng's face changed slightly and turned pale for a moment.
The driver saw Su Meng's change of expression in the rearview mirror. He couldn't hold it back and laughed, "Little girl, don't be afraid. Normally no one would dare to mess with you. You are Ling's boss."
Grandma Zhang also smiled and said, "Yes, if anyone messes with you in the future, you will take Lao Ling's name."
Mr. Ling also interjected at this time, "Yes."
Grandma Zhang thought of something and said, "The old man and I are now your age, and we can be your grandparents. From now on, you can call us your grandparents."
Su Meng's eyes widened. After realizing what Grandma Zhang said, she nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Grandma."
This topic was already over, but Grandma Zhang suddenly remembered something. She turned her head and asked Mr. Ling beside her with a complicated face, "I heard that the kid from the Jiang family has returned from abroad?"
Mr. Ling hummed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "I heard that he had committed a crime and was expelled from the school. In a fit of anger, Mr. Jiang asked this kid to return to China directly."
"Expelled? Hey... Who would have thought that such an outstanding child would grow up to be such a lawless demon king now? A child without a mother is just a piece of grass. It would have been better if Ruhui hadn't died so early." Thinking of this. Ruhui died young, and Grandma Zhang sighed deeply.
Mr. Ling knew what Mrs. Zhang was sighing about. He patted her shoulder silently as a way of comforting her, "Everyone has their own destiny, don't think too much about it. But I think this kid from the Jiang family will have great success in the future." Promising."
"I hope so. In this case, Ruhui can rest in peace underground."
Su Meng listened quietly. Not long after, Mr. and Mrs. Ling stopped talking because they arrived at the place where they lived.
It was not far from the entrance of the military compound to where they lived. After getting off the car, the driver greeted Mr. Ling and his wife, Su Meng, and left.
Grandma Zhang led Su Meng back home.
Mr. and Mrs. Ling live in a single-family house.
The house is on two floors, and the decoration is not luxurious, but it definitely looks warm and approachable.
As soon as Mr. Ling opened the door, the golden retriever in the house rushed out, barking and circling enthusiastically around the two old people.
Grandma Zhang leaned over with a smile and touched the golden retriever's head. She introduced to Su Meng who was standing aside, "This is the 'armored soldier' in the family. He got his name because of his strong body. There is also a Chinese garden cat, because he is often let go." No one can be found, and his reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance skills are top-notch, so he is called a 'scout'."
Su Meng was a little stunned. She didn't expect that the cats and dogs in Mr. and Mrs. Ling's home had such special names.
Su Meng was a little curious, "Grandma, did you and grandpa name them?"
Grandma Zhang shook her head, her eyes instantly softened as she thought of that person, "No, it was A Yu who helped them get their names." Hearing the familiar name from Grandma Zhang's mouth, the "armored soldier" barked excitedly. Voice.
"I'll take you to see 'Scout'. He's very clingy and loves to act coquettishly. 'Armored Soldier' is more lively and often needs to be taken out for a walk. In short, cats and dogs each have their own advantages. But now that there is another one of you in the house, it will be even more lively in the future."
Su Meng nodded vigorously.
Even though today is only her first day living in Ling's house, she has clearly felt the warmth of home from Grandma Zhang's words.
And she had not experienced this kind of emotion for twelve years after her parents died.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the chef from Mr. Ling's house came to cook.
The chef looks to be in his forties, chubby and very blessed.
Seeing Su Meng, he looked a little surprised.
Grandma Zhang introduced Su Meng and said, "From now on, this will be my and Lao Ling's granddaughter."
The chef knew what Mr. and Mrs. Ling were going to Sichuan for this time. Needless to say, just by looking at him, he felt that this retired couple was too lonely on weekdays. Now that they were able to adopt a suitable little girl, even he was happy for them.
The chef smiled and said, "It's good that you will have a little girl to accompany you from now on."
Grandma Zhang agreed, "Yes. Lao Ling and I both like her very much."
Su Meng stood next to Granny Zhang and listened quietly to the two people talking. She thought, Granny Zhang was indeed right, the people here were very easy to get along with. For example, this chef is extremely kind.
While eating, Mr. Ling changed from plain clothes back into a straight silver-gray military uniform.
The old man who originally seemed kind-hearted now looks heroic and energetic after putting on a silver-gray military uniform.
Grandma Zhang said to Su Meng with disgust, "This old man has been wearing military uniforms for decades. Now that he is retired, he is still used to wearing military uniforms at home. It seems that he will never get rid of this habit in this life." Although Grandma Zhang said He said disgusting words in his mouth, but his movements were extremely gentle to help Mr. Ling smooth out the wrinkled collar on his body.
Grandma Zhang looked at Mr. Ling with very gentle eyes.
Looking at the tender scene in front of her, Su Meng smiled knowingly. Such a life is so good.
During meal time, a loud horn sound suddenly sounded outside, which startled Su Meng. After seeing this, Grandma Zhang hurriedly comforted Su Meng and said, "Don't be afraid. This horn will sound twice a day, once at 6:30 in the morning to remind everyone to get up, and once at 5:30 in the afternoon to remind everyone to go home for dinner. "
Su Meng nodded, indicating that she understood. During the meal, the horn stopped ringing after it sounded, but military songs kept playing on the radio. I don’t know why, but listening to such a voice makes people feel excited. Of course, it also gives people a sense of security.
After dinner, Grandma Zhang took out her tablet and prepared to video chat with her only son.
While dialing the other party's video call, she said to Su Meng, "The time difference between his place and ours is 12 hours. We are now at 6:30 in the afternoon, and it happens to be 6:30 in the morning for him. At this time, he should be eating Breakfast. There is only this time every day, and he is free."
At this time, Mr. Ling also sat next to Granny Zhang, waiting for his son on the other side of the ocean to connect to the video.
Su Meng subconsciously stepped aside, leaving more space for Mr. and Mrs. Ling.
At this time, the video just connected.
As soon as Grandma Zhang saw her son's face in the video, a soft smile appeared on her face, "Ayu, good morning."
"Dad, Mom, morning."
A young and extremely charming voice sounded.
Mr. Ling hummed and asked with concern, "Ayu, how was your day yesterday?"
"I'm having a good time, don't worry about me, Dad."
Grandma Zhang was most worried about her son who was alone outside. She earnestly asked, "Remember to take good care of yourself when you are outside."
Ling Yucheng replied patiently, "I understand, Mom."
At this time, Ling Yucheng took the initiative to care about his parents' adoption matters, "Have you adopted any children during your trip to the disaster area this time?"
Speaking of this, Granny Zhang tilted her head and smiled at Su Meng, and said to Ling Yucheng, "We have adopted her. Your dad and I saw a good girl at first sight."
Ling Yucheng was still very confident about his parents' vision, and knew that they were most interested in her. Since this little girl could make them want to adopt her, there must be something special about her. He said in a relaxed tone, "That's good."
Grandma Zhang covered her mouth and smiled, "The child is still young, I will let the child call us grandparents, and you will be my uncle from now on."
Ling Yucheng was stunned for two seconds at the other end of the video, and then smiled helplessly and said, "Okay." Although there was helplessness in his words, it was more tolerant of his mother who was still young at heart.
Ling Yucheng looked really busy. After breakfast, he hung up the video call with Mr. and Mrs. Ling after a short chat.
After the camera went dark, Grandma Zhang let out an ouch, slapped her forehead, and said to Su Meng on the side, "Look at the memories of Lao Ling and I, we actually forgot to ask you to say hello to A Yu just now!"
Su Meng was not in the frame just now, nor did she turn her head to look at Ling Yucheng at the other end of the video. However, from his conversation, we can also tell that he is a polite, gentle and excellent person.
Hearing this, she shook her head slightly and said, "Grandma, there will definitely be a chance in the future."
"That's right. From now on, he will be your little uncle, and you will have many opportunities to say hello."
