Xiao Chen lowered her head speechless, her head that was raised high just now slowly lowered, and her fingertips forcefully picked at her handbag.
Xiao Yao looked at the mighty group of people behind her, and said with a sneer, "Noble madam, you should go back, this is really not the place you should come."
Xiao Chen did not enter the ward again in the end, she bit her red lips lightly, "Even if I was wrong, I will not give up my choice, brother, you may never understand my feelings at that time in your whole life, compared with him, my country is more I chose him without hesitation, not because I was selfish, but because I was afraid that I would have no room for regret in the end, maybe you would scold me for being heartless, if you want to scold me, just scold me, I have scolded myself many times over the years gone."
"As a soldier, there is no distinction between a small family and a large family, only the country." Xiao Yao stood up straight and saluted again.
Xiao Chen stepped on her feet heavily, she still held her head high, and left the ward with her own pride.
The corridor suddenly became quiet, and there was a cool wind blowing, Xiao Yao suddenly felt very cold, as if someone was drinking tea.
The lounge was quiet, Xiao Jing tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, she simply gave up forcing herself to sleep, put on her clothes and prepared to go to the next door to see her mother.
It's just that she just walked out of the lounge, and a person walked towards her just like that.
This face seemed a little familiar, she remembered, isn't this the first lady she often sees on TV? She hurriedly stood up straight and saluted.
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Jing from top to bottom, nodded, "You are Xiao Jing, right?"
Xiao Jing neither admitted nor denied it.
Xiao Chen sat on a chair beside him, patted the seat beside him, "Can you sit down and chat with me?"
Xiao Jing sat on the sidelines, waiting for the leader to speak at any time.
Xiao Chen smiled, "Don't be nervous, I'm also your aunt anyway."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jing became more afraid to look at the woman more.
"Do you hate your father more, or your wife more?" Xiao Chen asked straight to the point.
Xiao Jing also didn't reply, she didn't know how to reply.
Xiao Chen smiled, "Am I being too straightforward?"
"Your words are ambiguous. Neither of these two choices is a good choice." Xiao Jing replied.
"Then do you have any other choice?" Xiao Chen asked.
Xiao Jing was at a loss for words, she really had no other choice, should she choose who she likes? The choice in front of her is to hate or hate more.
Xiao Chen said again, "I also hate them. People are not sages and sages have no faults. I made a mistake and even lost my home. But you are more pitiful than me. You have nothing wrong and still have no home."
"You are wrong. I have a family. Even if my father doesn't like me and Mrs. Tai doesn't accept me, I still have a mother." Xiao Jing replied.
"Yeah, I forgot that you still have a mother's love, that's great." Xiao Chen put his hands on his forehead, and he could see that she was very anxious.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Jing gently patted her slightly trembling shoulder.
Xiao Chen covered his face with his hands, and wept in embarrassment, "Xiao Jing, do you understand me? You are also a woman, do you understand me? In the face of life and death, in the face of righteousness, in the face of the country and selfishness, what would you choose? Your Husband, or your father, or that country that might abandon you anytime, anywhere?"
Xiao Jing was stunned, this option was like a dead end, she had no choice.
Xiao Chen slammed his head against the wall, "What happened that year was like a nightmare that tormented me for more than 20 years. If it happened again, I think I would choose to give up this task and come back. Maybe I will be a woman after all. Well, without those high-sounding words from your father, it is natural to give up everything for the country, and it is natural to give up everything for the mission."
"Father is not wrong, and neither are you. What is wrong is the war."
Xiao Chen burst into tears and laughed, "Yes, you are right, it is the fault of the war."
"You don't need to blame yourself. No one can give a perfect answer to this question. When the reality is not oppressing yourself, no one knows what to choose under the circumstances."
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, "What you girl said is quite pleasant."
"Maybe it's because I will choose the same answer as you. No wonder Mrs. Tai doesn't like me. Maybe she saw through early on that I would be blinded by my children's affair." Xiao Jing lowered her head, her fingers couldn't stop Check it out.
Xiao Chen took her hand, looked at the callus in her palm, "Maybe you will do better than me, after all, you are better than me at that time, if you really face that situation, I miss you Not only can you complete the task excellently, but you can also rush back to help your lover immediately."
"I may really not encounter the situation you said, after all, the captain is better than me."
Xiao Chen covered his mouth and smiled, "Are you saying that your uncle is not good anymore?"
Xiao Jing blushed, "No, it's just that the captain is very powerful, so powerful that I don't need to choose so embarrassingly."
Xiao Chen sighed softly, "That's right, how could he be willing to let you make such a choice."
"Crack" sounded the door open from the side.
Shen Chengfeng heard the intermittent conversation, and opened the door of the ward.
Xiao Jing looked back after hearing the sound, and the moment her eyes met, the tenderness in her eyes was hard to hide.
Shen Chengfeng stepped forward, recognized the identity of the woman next to his wife, stood up straight, and saluted.
Xiao Chen stood up, "General Shen, this is not the first time we have met."
Shen Chengfeng remained tepid as always, "Yes, this should be our third meeting."
"I didn't expect to meet again under such circumstances. Maybe we will have more opportunities to meet in the future."
Standing beside Xiao Jing, Shen Chengfeng looked at the two people who were talking in a happy atmosphere just now, this lady is also surnamed Xiao!
"You may not know my other identity. I am Xiao Jing's aunt, the younger sister of your future father-in-law." Xiao Chen took the initiative to explain.
A flash of astonishment flashed in Shen Chengfeng's eyes, which was quickly covered up by him, and he said, "Nice to meet you."
"I've been talking to you for a while, and I'm pretty clear about what I said. It's getting late, and I'm going back too. I think we'll see each other often in the future." Xiao Chen put on his coat, and looked at the two people who followed each other again, " I forgot to say, I wish you a happy wedding."
Xiao Jing stood in a military posture and saluted.
"I always thought that your father in the Xiao family only had two sons, so you have an aunt." Shen Chengfeng took off his coat and put it on her shoulders, "Why don't you wear more?"
"At the beginning, I also thought that my father had no brothers or sisters, but I didn't expect to have an aunt." Xiao Jing stood in front of the hospital bed, "Is mom still awake?"
"The wound was a bit deep, the doctor used diazepam and asked her to rest well."
"Captain, do you think I should hate them?" Although Xiao Jing acted very relaxed, her movements were a little too stiff, as if she deliberately made herself relaxed.
Shen Chengfeng took her hand, "My daughter-in-law can do whatever she wants. If they make you angry, I'll beat them up for you."
Xiao Jing looked at his profile in surprise, and couldn't help laughing and said: "He is your future father-in-law, do you dare to fight?"
"My daughter-in-law is angry, even if it is the country's first leader, I will beat him up."
"Captain, you will make me lawless if you do this."
"Even if you wanted to see a hole in the sky that day, I would take off my gloves and corrode a hole in it."
"Does the captain think of me as a concubine who will harm the country and the people?"
Shen Chengfeng put his arms around her shoulders, and with a slightly ruffian tone, he said: "I was thinking that if I become an incomparable and stupid king, if everyone is in danger, will they not dare to challenge me again? The bottom line."
Xiao Jing leaned in his arms shyly, looked around, and after making sure that there were no extra idlers waiting, she stood on tiptoe and secretly kissed him on the lips, like a child who succeeded in stealing She bowed her head shyly.
Shen Chengfeng gently raised her chin, and covered her lips with a kiss. The cool and refreshing smell filled her nose, making people silently breed a desire.
"Ahem." An abrupt third voice came from behind the two of them.
Xiao Jing reflexively pushed her captain away.
Xiao Yao's face was a little haggard, he covered his mouth and coughed, "I'll come and see your mother, is she awake?"
Seeing the figure walking straight over, Xiao Jing suddenly resisted his approach.
Xiao Yao stopped, he could see the hatred in the child's eyes, yes, an unprecedented feeling, once he was afraid of his approach, now he is resisting his approach.
Xiao Jing took a step back. She blocked the door on purpose, as if she didn't want her father to go in.
Xiao Yao frowned uncontrollably, "Doesn't Xiaojing want me to go in and see your mother?"
"Isn't Mrs. Tai also sick? Mother just leave it to me, and you take care of Mrs. Tai." Xiao Jing said.
"Is Xiaojing hating me?"
"You are the leader and my father. In public and private, I can't hold any grudges against you. I can only respect you."
Xiao Yao looked up at the glaring incandescent lamp above his head, "My child, I didn't handle this matter properly, and you should be angry with me."
"There is more than one thing you haven't handled properly, father, what have you handled properly? You sent Mrs. Tai away, but let her spread her anger on me and my mother. I can protect myself, but my mother What about it? She is just an ordinary woman, how do you let her protect herself?"
"Yes, I was careless."
"You respect Mrs. Tai, even if you take my mother back to Xiao's house, what's the use? One injury after another, one ignorance after another, you consume all our trust in you." Xiao Jing breathed out Confidentially, she felt nervous and felt a slight pain in her stomach. She put one hand on her waist and leaned forward involuntarily.
Shen Chengfeng hugged her in his arms, and said anxiously: "What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable?"
"My stomach hurts a bit." Xiao Jing leaned on his shoulder and murmured.
"Child, don't get excited. I won't go in. I'll leave right now. Don't get excited." Xiao Yao stepped back hurriedly, fearing that his approach would make her emotional again.
Xiao Jing closed her eyes, her body trembling involuntarily, "Captain, I want to go in and see my mother."
"Go in, I'll talk to your father." Seeing her entering the room lonely, Shen Chengfeng closed the door.
Xiao Yao faced the wall, his face seemed to have aged for more than ten years overnight.
"There was a little boy who was shopping in the supermarket, and he was talking and putting what he wanted into the shopping cart: I want the one with my left hand, and I want the one with my right hand. I am indecisive, so I am going to do both Bought it. But his mother gave up both things very seriously, and told him seriously: An indecisive man will get nothing in the end." Shen Chengfeng seemed to be talking to himself.
Xiao Yao leaned on the wall with one hand, squinted at the figure on the ground, and gradually clenched his hands into fists.
"Father-in-law, it's not that you can't choose, but that you are too selfish. You want to have the best of both worlds, but things backfire. Up to now, you haven't handled any of them well."
Yes, he really didn't handle it well.
"Father-in-law, you really have to choose now." Standing one step away from him, Shen Chengfeng said in a firm tone, "You can leave or stay here, this is your last choice."
Xiao Yao raised his head suddenly, and the eyes of the two met. It was like a battlefield where there was a fierce battle. There were countless casualties on both sides, but they were still in full swing and never gave in to each other.
Shen Chengfeng's attitude was very firm, there was almost no room for negotiation, he was protecting his weaknesses.
Xiao Yao was in a dilemma, just like the little boy in the supermarket who wanted everything, he was vacillating.
"Dong dong dong." Footsteps came from one end of the corridor.
Shen Chengfeng looked over, and just in time, everyone in the Xiao family was present.
Xiao Zheng should have just left the mission, he was still wearing a camouflage uniform, he rushed over quickly, and behind him was Xiao Ye who followed closely.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Hong arrived one minute after they arrived.
The entire corridor seemed to be filled with gunpowder smoke, oppressing everyone's nerves.
Xiao Ye swallowed his saliva, why did he feel that there was something wrong with the atmosphere of the two people in front of him
Xiao Yao turned his back to the children. He was not a successful father, but also a failed child.
Xiao Yu seemed to see through the essence of the matter, and he said: "I understand the whole thing, father and grandma are elders, they should be respected indeed, but I don't agree with her thoughts and actions, if a person makes a mistake, You can't just put it off just because she's old."
"Brother told me what happened. I also went back and asked the servants at home, and turned on the monitoring records. At that time, grandma did deliberately hurt innocent people. Father, we all respect grandma. But our respect should not be so blind." Xiao Hong said.
"I don't understand the situation, but I know how my little mother is. She has always done her duty and never overstepped her status. Although it is a bit rebellious to say this, I really think it's time for grandma to take care of her life. Her thoughts , Those unconventional practices are too scary, and their willful behavior makes people fear." Xiao Ye said in a low voice.
Xiao Zheng is the roughest of the four children, he doesn't know how to analyze the process, he only knows that seeing is believing, he said: "The unity of a family requires a competent mistress, not an arbitrary Empress Dowager Cixi. , I respect my grandma, but I really can't forgive her for her actions, she is now like a patient with a mental illness, wantonly hurting innocent people, and finally she can be released without charge."
Xiao Yao looked at the four children, each of them had the word "seriousness" engraved on their faces, if he chose to leave at this time, what he would lose would not be a child, but a home!
"Father, is this decision difficult?" Seeing that he did not speak, Xiao Yu asked again.
Xiao Yao shook his head, "It's not difficult, it's not difficult at all."
"Then what do you think should be done?" Xiao Yu asked again.
"Son, tell me how to do it?" Xiao Yao's voice was a little hoarse, cutting his vocal cords like a saw, and every word of his was heavy.
"If you really want to listen to my advice, then I will tell you that the Xiao family will hold a wedding in one month. This is the first wedding of our Xiao family. We all hope that the family will be reunited, not the last Wife and children are separated." Xiao Yu said.
Xiao Yao's ten fingers were bent, in an unnaturally bent state, and he couldn't even clenched his fists. He visited the four children one by one, and wherever his eyes passed, there were four words non-negotiable written on them.
"I will send someone to send your grandma to a nursing home. After she recovers, she will return to Jiangcheng. From then on, she will spend her life in Jiangcheng." Xiao Yao turned around and walked very slowly. The wind is very quiet and cool, like an old man in his twilight years, walking towards the end of his life helplessly.
The four of them stood in a military posture in unison, saluting with their heads up.
In the ward, when Madam Xiao heard the door opening, she twisted her head numbly.
Sitting on a stool beside the hospital bed, Xiao Yao looked at the old man, "Mother, since I was a child, you told me to serve the country faithfully, and the men of the Xiao family will die on the battlefield even if they die. People, stand upright and indomitable."
Mrs. Xiao struggled twice, but she couldn't say a word while babbling. Her mouth was pulled back convulsively. She knew that the child was saying goodbye to her.
Xiao Yao picked up a clean towel and wiped her face with great care, "Mother, sometimes I envy my father and third brother, at least when they died in battle, they held their heads high and their chests upright, with a clear conscience. Honorable sacrifice for the country, how about me? Even though I have made great military achievements, I have failed everyone.”
"Uh, uh, uh." The old lady struggled twice, feeling overwhelmed, and almost fell off the hospital bed.
