Yun Laohu was very observant. He always felt that Mi Xaing 'er was hiding something from him when she left, but he couldn't find any evidence.
He kept thinking about it these days … and increasingly felt that his wife was pregnant when she left.
However, he couldn't make wild guesses about such things. There was no point in guessing, so he simply asked his sister directly, "Do you think Mi Xaing 'er was pregnant before she left?"
Yun Jingqi hurriedly avoided his sharp gaze and tilted her head slightly, afraid that her brother would find any flaws on her face. "What nonsense are you talking about? You're asking me whether Mi Xaing 'er was pregnant or not? How would I know? "
She simply stood up, turned her back to her brother, and pretended to pour him some water. Then she composed herself and said, "Besides … I don't think she was pregnant, right? If Mi Xaing 'er was pregnant, you would be the first to be informed! There's no need for her to hide it. Brother, don't overthink it! The most important thing is to take good care of your body. "
She turned around and handed the warm water to her brother. "In my opinion, you're thinking too much … and that's the reason why you fell ill this time. Your body is like a tiger's. How many years has it been? Other than when you were injured, I rarely saw you lying down."
Yun Jingqi's heart ached for him. "This time, the Military Commissar called me and told me about your illness. I rushed over by train. You had a fever of 39.8 degrees, but you didn't go to the hospital. Instead, you stayed at your post. Are you going to heaven? Let me tell you, tiger. If Mi Xaing 'er finds out that you're degrading your body like this, her heart will definitely ache for you! Although she didn't specifically tell me before she left … I know what she's thinking when I put myself in her shoes. "
Yun Jingting wanted to hear Mi Xaing 'er's name, but he was also afraid of hearing about her. He waved his hand in a conflicted manner and said, "Don't talk about it anymore. I know my body. It was just a little rain that day …"
Yun Jingqi did not wait for him to finish. She immediately pursed her lips and said, "Don't try to fool me. What do you mean by a little rain? The Military Commissar has already explained it to me in detail … He said that night, it rained first, and then it snowed. The soldiers were working in three shifts, but you were the only one who foolishly stayed at your post for 18 hours. Tiger, I don't want to criticize you … your body is the capital of a revolution. Without your body, how can you continue the revolution? "
"…"
Yun Jingqi did not give up. "This time, you have to rest well in the hospital! I'll stay here with you! You can only return to the army when you've recovered! "
How could Yun Laohu not understand his sister's concern? However, he was unwilling to lie in the hospital like this. "I'm a man, and I'm also a soldier. Everyone else is out there working hard to rebuild the city. How can I just lie here?"
After he finished speaking, he wanted to remove the IV drip. "Anyway, my fever has subsided. I feel pretty good. I want to be discharged!"
Yun Jingqi pressed hard on his shoulder. "You're acting up again. Hey, if you dare to remove the IV drip, I'll really get angry with you. I'll go to the army and sue you! I'll sue you … for not cooperating with the doctor's treatment! "
Seeing that her brother had no intention of stopping, she simply compromised. "Even if you want to go back to work, you have to wait for the IV drip to finish, right?"
Now that she said that …
Tiger looked up at the IV drip. There was not much medicine left, so he simply sat back down.
Yun Jingqi placed a pillow under her brother's back to make him sit more comfortably. Then she lowered her voice and said, "Brother, I bought two cans of canned food. One is orange and the other is yellow peaches. Do you want to eat them?"
Yun Laohu shook his head. "I don't eat that! It's sweet. Mi Xaing 'er likes yellow peaches … "
Halfway through his sentence, he realized that he had misspoken and quickly shut his mouth.
Longing … was like a shadow that would suddenly appear in every corner of his life.
Yun Jingqi pretended not to hear him. "Then have a bowl of porridge? I bought you a bowl of Xiao Mi porridge when I came here! It's still warm. I also brought two herbal tea eggs … "
As she spoke, she peeled the eggs … Then she deftly placed the eggs into the bowl of porridge and brought it to her brother's mouth.
Yun Laohu took it and joked casually, "I'll do it myself. Don't make fun of me. It's just a fever. Do I need you to feed me porridge?"
He looked up at her and said, "Sis, you've been on the train for the whole night. Have you eaten?"
"Yeah! I've eaten! " Yun Jingqi nodded. "Don't worry. I'm an adult and I'm not sick. Don't I know how to take care of myself?"
She leaned forward and rested her hands on the side of the bed. She held a towel in her hand and wiped her brother's mouth and hands as if she was taking care of a child.
Yun Jingting was amused. "Sis, what are you doing?"
"I'm taking care of you. Our mother isn't by our side and your wife isn't around. When you're sick … If I don't do anything, what's the point of this family?"
Yun Jingqi lowered the corners of her eyes. "Tiger, before I left, Dad asked me to ask you … Will you be coming home for the New Year? Based on your rank, shouldn't you have holidays? "
She paused. "Although Dad didn't say it explicitly, I can tell that he's afraid that you'll blame him! Tiger, about Gu Qianxing's incident this time … That guy with the surname Gu fell and became semi-disabled. He's been complaining non-stop. The military is really having a headache. Dad can't handle so much public opinion alone. "
Yun Jingqi had a strong sense of family. She still hoped that this family could be harmonious, so she tried her best to smooth things over. "Also, about Mi Xaing 'er's mother being a spy, Gu Qianxing wasn't the only one who said it. There's always a secret letter to the higher-ups. The military can't pretend that they don't know about it. Dad can't stop it alone!"
At the mention of the anonymous letter …
Yun Jingting frowned. "Sis, I'm on T Mountain and can't take care of the military. What's with the anonymous letter?"
Yun Jingqi straightened her body and took the empty bowl from her brother's hand. She turned around and put it on the coffee table. Then she said leisurely, "Anyway, some people have nothing better to do. They put up a few cents worth of stamps and wrote something out of nothing. That's enough to disgust you for two years!"
"…"
"I also asked Secretary Feng about it. I heard that … the anonymous letter was quite detailed. There were several long pages of paper. It said that Mi Xaing 'er's mother was a promiscuous woman when she was young. She got pregnant before marriage and was pregnant with the child of a senior colonel of the Kuomintang Party. She's still in contact with that person and that man is in America! It also mentioned a large amount of gold bars! "
"…"
Yun Jingqi glanced at her brother carefully. "In your opinion … is this true?"
In your opinion?
Yun Laohu knew very well in his heart, but he couldn't say anything about his mother-in-law … At critical times, he still had to protect Mi Xaing 'er and his family, even in front of his sister. "I don't know about other things. Anyway, if you say that she's a spy, then it's bullsh * t!"
Yun Jingqi didn't ask further. She knew that her brother was protective of the Mi family. "Then … I don't believe that Auntie Tang is a spy. But she said it with certainty. Isn't she afraid of being sued? Anonymous letters are everywhere. The Provincial Party Committee, the Military Region, the G Committee, and all the departments that can sue have sent one. Now the public opinion is getting bigger and bigger. Auntie Tang isn't here, so who can explain it clearly? "
Yun Jingting lowered her head and thought … Who on earth would have such a big grudge against her family? What was the purpose of suing them step by step?
She pondered for a moment. "Sister, I have a favor to ask of you! Can you think of a way to get me a copy of this anonymous letter? And of course, the envelope. There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Since someone made it, there must be a loophole. I don't believe that … I've been a scout for so many years, and I can't find the mastermind behind this. "
Yun Jingqi was also afraid that her brother would get into trouble … If he knew that she was the informant, who knew what he would do? She could only answer perfunctorily. "Okay! I'll do my best! "
She thought that even if she got the informant letter, she wouldn't hand it over to Yun Laohu … However, she really had to check it out. She couldn't watch her brother's family suffer like this.
Yun Laohu was also a smart person. When she saw that her sister was beating around the bush, she frowned and didn't say anything more … She immediately made up her mind: I'll check it out myself!
Yun Jingqi was unwilling to give up and asked again, "You haven't answered me yet. Are you coming home for the New Year or not?"
Yun Laohu shook her head. "I'm all alone now. Why should I take a vacation? All my vacations have been contributed to the army for free! I'm not going home either. When Mi Xaing 'er comes back to me, I'll take her to see Dad! "
In other words … if his wife didn't come back, he didn't want to go home either.
In his heart, he probably had some complaints about his father, right?
Yun Jingqi knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she sighed softly and changed the topic. "Hey, Tiger, I found something strange recently!"
"Huh?"
"It's about Jiang Tingting. I think … there seems to be some secret between her and Hsu Mingwei!"
----- Digression —
Speaking of which, Second Sister Yun was really good to her brother's family. Shouldn't she also be happy as soon as possible?
