Chapter 324 Shen Lu's Awakening
"You may not like me, but Xiaoze and the others are my biological children. I didn't adopt them from someone else's family."
"You can pay so much attention to your nephews and nieces, why don't you care about Xiaoze and the others?"
"It's been three years, and Xiaoze still misses his uncle and aunt. Why? Why doesn't he consider this place home?"
"Why does he idolize his uncle and not his father? We're both soldiers, and we have the same status. Shouldn't I have taken him back? He's not happy at all, and he doesn't act like a child."
"Shen Lu, I know you don't have anyone else outside, and your morals don't allow it, but what difference does it make."
Jiang Qingnan finished what he wanted to say and went back to his room to sleep.
Shen Lu sat alone all night.
I went to the Zhou family to apologize early in the morning. Zhou Dongliang was strolling in the yard. "What's wrong with that unshaven guy? Did you have a fight? Xiaolu, I have something to say to you, my family member. Come in."
Sitting together, Zhou Dongliang poured water and handed it over, "As for your niece's matter, my daughter-in-law also said that she wants to go to work, so there is nothing we can do."
"Everyone who succeeds wants to help their family. Your sister-in-law is the only one who supports her younger siblings. There's a 3-5 year age difference between them."
"My eldest brother just got married and kicked everyone else out. Your sister-in-law went out to beg and joined the organization by chance."
"We came back alive, and my eldest brother felt that he couldn't support his younger siblings because he wanted to have children. In fact, your sister-in-law went to beg."
"He immediately sold his two younger sisters and one younger sister. Fortunately, his younger siblings are doing OK, but the problem is that the siblings have become strangers. They don't interact with each other."
"I don't even dare to ask these six brothers and sisters below me to have close contact. They all have jobs and their salaries are similar, but the problem is that there is also a chain of contempt. What can I do?"
"If you're married and need help, I'll lend a hand. If you don't need it, even if they're relatives, close relatives aren't necessarily close relatives."
"Last night when Qingnan came to pick up Xiaoze, he looked unhappy. He was unhappy even when talking about Qingjin. He said he had fallen in love with another girl. Your sister-in-law knows about it."
"Xiao Ze was wiping away tears when he came over to eat. I guess Qingnan had been crying at that time. The child is still young, but he understands a lot. Aren't you guys over it?"
"Qing Jin will come out next time and I will beat you up. If you can't handle it, just tell me straight out and ask the Jiang family to come and take you back." Zhou Dongliang said as he put down the teacup with a bang.
"No, it's not true. My family's elderly are over 70 years old and cry every day about their nephews and nieces having such a hard time and having to go to the countryside. I told you about it, but Qingnan didn't know."
"My family said Qingnan didn't help me find a job, so my mom kept saying all sorts of nonsense. Qingnan felt uncomfortable when she heard it."
Xu Hongjun couldn't stand it any longer and came out of the kitchen. "Is that one o'clock? When you were teaching Xiaoyuan, your mother was so heartless that she didn't come back to see you. Your mother didn't want you anymore. Xiaoyuan was so angry that he cried and he still said that."
"How many times have you come out in the middle of the night to borrow milk powder? Do you think no one said anything? As an elderly person, it's okay if you can't help, but you're also a hindrance. I don't believe it. Xiaoze heard this at his uncle's house."
"Every time he calls your dad affectionately, telling everyone that his dad is back. And that brother and sister-in-law, they eat and take things, and they even complain about spending money at the Children's Palace? Didn't you give him money for his retirement?"
"Besides, did the old man only give birth to you? Did you give birth to them? You sit in the office all day drinking tea and reading the newspaper, while Qingnan performs surgery during the day and at night. Xiaoze was so happy yesterday, but ended up crying at night."
"Two college students, neither of them knows how to live as well as an illiterate person like me. Home is where your parents are when you're a child. After you get married, it's where your partner is, where your children are."
"Don't we say that wherever a house is, it's home? Where is your home? Is it your eldest brother's? Your second brother's? Your third brother's?"
"We, Qingnan, also get up early and go to bed late, and never sleep, all for your little family. The pain that you cannot understand, the tears that you cannot wipe away, the feelings that you cannot take care of, there will be someone who understands, someone who wants to wipe away, and someone who wants to take care of."
Shen Lu realized the problem again. Everyone else understood it, so why didn’t he understand it?
After talking about Shen Simei's work, I went back home and listened to the sighs behind me.
"I don't know what he's thinking...but he doesn't want to enjoy his good days..."
.........
When Shen Lu returned home, his eldest son had already brought back steamed buns from the cafeteria.
I made porridge at home.
Jiang Qingnan dealt with the fourth brother.
Come sit down and eat.
Shen Lu only then realized that Jiang Qingnan had lost a lot of weight.
Shen Lu handed over a steamed bun, and Jiang Qingnan took it. "From now on, keep a record of the family expenses and give it all to me when you get your salary."
"As for the money you need, go ask your brothers and sisters for it. They've borrowed money over the years, and each of them has at least 1 yuan. At least 200 yuan each. If you can't pay, I'll file for divorce next Sunday."
"As a former comrade, you should know that the report will be approved very quickly. Each of you has two children. The two older ones will come with me and return to Haicheng. Your mother will teach the younger one well."
Jiang Qingnan rode away on his bike after eating because he couldn't be late for work.
"Dad, did you choose us?" He met the clear eyes of his eldest son Shen Zhenze.
Shen Lu wiped away a tear and said, "I choose yours. It's okay, I'll take care of it. Eat quickly and go to school later."
After dinner, the younger one was sent to the neighbor's house, and the older one went to school by himself.
Shen Lu rode his bike to his parents' home and knelt down to kowtow to his parents as soon as he entered.
Going to kneel down to the eldest brother again, the nephew and his wife stood up and said, "Brother, I have tried my best to do the work for the fourth sister. The daughter-in-law of the Zhou family asked for a job before, and I asked for it and she said it would be done soon. It was going to be Qingnan's job yesterday."
"Now, my fourth sister got married because of this job, so I agreed to continue working today. Now there's another thing, and I have to go to court-martial."
"The Jiang family accused me of giving birth but not raising them. The eldest and second sons were raised in Haicheng, the third son was raised in Sicheng for over a year, and I have been raising the fourth son for the time being."
"If we go to court, Qingnan is an active-duty soldier, and I'm retired, so I'm definitely going to lose. I'm also definitely going to get shot. It'll only take a week."
"How is that possible? You are husband and wife, not enemies."
"My brother-in-law has been transferred to the Jiangcheng Military Region. He demands that I give the money I've sent back to the Jiang family over the years. He will withdraw the lawsuit. Otherwise, I will definitely die, even if I have to hide in the mountains and forests."
"The money I've sent back over the years can be withdrawn from the post office. I'll go get it later. I've become one of the "Five Black Categories." You can publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with me. Take care."
When Shen Lu went to retrieve the remittance slip, the Shen family was in an uproar.
"It's working hours, but my uncle doesn't go to work. He's a member of the "five black categories," a counter-revolutionary, a bad element. Mom, go count the money."
