At the mention of the little guy, Ji Yan's cold expression finally softened a little, and his eyes softened. "I applied for a five-day leave this time. I'll finish my work here and go back next week."
Dong Li sighed. "Sigh … you said that you can only see the child once every two months, and the child's mother is … That's not a good thing. Why don't you bring the child here? Although this place is not prosperous, the kindergarten is not bad. If you bring Xiaozhuo here, you and your son can see each other every day, so you don't have to worry about him."
Dong Li and Ji Yan were classmates. The two of them joined the army together and were both captains of the special forces. The two of them could be said to have gone through trials and tribulations together. They were brothers from the bottom of their hearts and would tell each other everything. He was also the only one who knew about Ji Yan's marriage.
Ji Yan shook his head. "It's not a good idea to bring him here. I might have to go on a mission at any time. If I leave, there will be no one to take care of Xiaozhuo."
Dong Li thought about it and agreed. It was not good to hire a nanny in the military family courtyard, and he could not bring a nanny here. Xiaozhuo's mother could not be counted on, and there would be no one to take care of the child here.
How great would it be if Little Madam Zhuo was a normal woman?
Dong Li sighed deeply for his old friend. He could not help but mutter, "I really don't know why you would want such a woman. If you ask me, you might as well get a divorce and find a good mother for Xiaozhuo. Not all stepmothers are bad. Even if they are, they are better than his biological mother."
Ji Yan paused and did not say anything. He continued to write his report.
Knowing that Ji Yan did not like to talk about this, Dong Li did not say anything more. He left some instructions and went back to sleep.
When Ji Yan finished writing his report, it was already two in the morning. He rubbed his tired eyes, turned off the office lights, and went back to his dormitory.
Ji Yan was a platoon leader, and his dormitory was a single room. Everything was arranged neatly and meticulously, which fully reflected the good qualities of a soldier.
Ji Yan sat down at the table and thought of something. He took out his mobile phone from the drawer. As soon as he turned it on, he heard a series of vibrations. Ji Yan ignored everything else and directly opened WeChat. When he saw a series of voice messages from the little fellow, his face unconsciously softened. He opened them one by one with his fingers.
"Dad, why didn't you video call me? Are you busy? "
"Dad, you didn't video call me today. Were you out on a mission?"
"Dad, are you still not back from your mission? When are you coming back? "
"Dad, you haven't video-called me in a long time. Where are you?"
The little girl's tender voice came from the phone, and Ji Yan's heart softened. If this marriage had brought him anything worth thanking, he would say without hesitation that it was the child. He was grateful that she gave birth to Xiaozhuo, so he was willing to tolerate her for Xiaozhuo. As long as she didn't step into his forbidden zone, he could guarantee that she would live a comfortable life.
Ji Yan continued to click on the last message. When he clicked on the last one, an unexpected female voice came. "Hubby … hubby, you … take care of yourself. Don't worry about me and the baby."
Tang Tang?
Ji Yan frowned and stared at the last voice message. He wondered why she would send him a voice message and why she spoke in such a tone.
Ji Yan thought for a while and opened his address book. There were several missed calls from Aunt Li. He wanted to call her, but he gave up when he thought of the time now. He picked up his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After the morning training the next day, Ji Yan estimated that the little fellow should get up, so he opened WeChat and sent a video call request to the little fellow.
"Daddy, daddy, you're back!" When the video call was connected, the little fellow's chubby little face appeared on the screen. He couldn't wait to run through the screen to his side.
A rare smile appeared on Ji Yan's serious face. "Xiaozhuo, did you just get up?"
The little fellow nodded his little head. "Daddy, I just woke up. You haven't seen me for a long time. Did you go on a mission? Are you hurt? When can you come back to see me? "
The little fellow asked one question after another. Ji Yan listened to him patiently. He had always been strong and confident, but at this moment, his heart ached. He wasn't a good father. He let Xiaozhuo down. He couldn't give him a good mother, and he couldn't accompany him. It was even difficult for him to see his child. He understood the little fellow's loneliness, but there was nothing he could do.
"Daddy just came back from a mission. I'm not hurt. I'll be back to see you in a few days."
Upon hearing Ji Yan's words, the little fellow's eyes lit up. He grinned, revealing his white teeth. "Really, Daddy? Then I'll wait for you to come back. Hurry up."
"Okay, Daddy will come back soon." Ji Yan then asked, "Xiaozhuo, did anything happen to Mommy recently?"
When the little fellow heard this, he immediately nodded. He peeked at the door to make sure it was closed. Then he said to Ji Yan cautiously, "Daddy, Mommy was hit by a car. Her legs are lame, and there are many injuries on her face."
Ji Yan pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
Ji Xiaozhuo peeked at the door again and said secretly, "Also, also, Mommy said she doesn't remember anything. She doesn't know a lot of things. She even asked me to teach her."
Amnesia? Ji Yan's first reaction was disbelief. Was he up to something?
Ji Xiaozhuo saw that Ji Yan didn't believe him and immediately said, "Daddy, I think Mommy lost her memory. It's true!"
"Oh? Why do you think so? "
"Because she's different from before. She used to ignore me, but now she cooks for me every day. It's delicious. She even brings delicious food to kindergarten for me and picks me up after school. She …" Ji Xiaozhuo felt a little awkward when he said this, but he couldn't hide his happiness. "She calls me baby. Sometimes she even calls me little sweetheart. Aiya, I'm so annoyed."
Doubts exploded in Ji Yan's heart. He knew very well what kind of person Tang Tang was. She wouldn't even look at Xiaozhuo, so how could she suddenly do so many things for Xiaozhuo? What was going on?
However, Ji Yan didn't ask the question in his heart. He only asked, "What about Grandma Li? Where did she go? Why did she ask your Mommy to cook? "
Ji Xiaozhuo replied, "Grandma Li went home to take care of the baby."
Ji Yan heard that Aunt Li's daughter-in-law was pregnant with a second child. Maybe it was because of this. He immediately said to the little boy, "It's getting late. Go wash up and eat. Go to school. Daddy will come back to see you in a few days."
"Okay then. Bye, Daddy." The little boy couldn't bear to hang up, but he knew that he had to. He could only wave his hand at Ji Yan on the screen and reluctantly hang up the video call.
Ji Yan exited WeChat and dialed Aunt Li's number.
.....
On the other side, Tang Tang found that the little boy was in a particularly good mood early in the morning. His short legs kept swinging under the table as he ate. He would even smile from time to time.
"Baby, did something happen to you that made you happy? Can you tell Mommy? "
The little boy stopped swinging his short legs. He swallowed the food in his mouth and put on a serious expression again. "It's nothing."
Tang Tang didn't believe him. She knew that the little boy didn't want to talk about it, so she had to use her coaxing skills and began to attack him with sweet words. "Aiya, just tell Mommy, okay? Mommy's little darling, Little Rourou? Mommy really wants to know! "
The little boy glared at Tang Tang and said impatiently, "Aiya, why are you so annoying? I'm going to be annoyed to death by you. Let me tell you, Daddy will come back to see me in a few days."
"Ah? Your Daddy is coming back? "Tang Tang didn't expect this. She hadn't seen him yet, but she felt her heart start to beat faster just thinking about it.
She didn't know what the baby's father looked like. What kind of person was he? What should she do when she saw him? Aunt Li said that the baby's father probably didn't like the original owner. Did that mean that he didn't like her? If he really didn't like her, what should she do?
Tang Tang thought about it for a long time. Finally, she decided to do her best to treat the baby's father well and do her duty as a wife. If the baby's father didn't like her, there was nothing she could do. However, as long as she treated the baby and him well, he wouldn't drive her away even if he didn't like her.
After thinking about this, Tang Tang's heart was temporarily relieved. She began to think about what to cook for the little boy, but when she opened the fridge, there was nothing in it.
Aunt Li had been gone for a few days, and the ingredients in the fridge were all gone. Tang Tang knew that she had to buy something, but she didn't know where to buy it. After thinking about it, she could only ask her little darling for help.
When Tang Tang picked up the little boy from school, she didn't go home directly. Instead, she asked the little boy for help. "Baby, there are no ingredients at home. Can you take Mommy to buy some? Mommy won't buy it alone. "
Ji Xiaozhuo now believed that Tang Tang didn't remember anything, so he was no longer surprised. He directly went forward to lead the way. "Come with me. Let's go to the supermarket to buy."
Aunt Li used to take the little boy with her when she went to the supermarket to buy things, so the little boy was very familiar with the supermarket.
Tang Tang had recently seen the "supermarket" on TV. It was very big and had everything. At that time, she was surprised for a long time, but she hadn't really been there. At this moment, seeing that the little boy was going to take her to the supermarket, Tang Tang was still looking forward to it.
When they arrived at the supermarket, the little boy walked to the place where the shopping cart was placed with familiarity. He magically took out a coin from his pocket and tried to insert the coin into the keyhole of the shopping cart. The lock was unlocked at once. Tang Tang almost had stars in her eyes.
Her baby was really amazing.
Under Tang Tang's admiring gaze, the little boy calmly pushed the cart with his short legs and walked inside. He didn't forget to wave his hand like a boss and beckoned to Tang Tang behind him. "Come with me!"
Tang Tang immediately followed the little boss.
However, although the little boss was very imposing, his height was a problem. He was not even as tall as the shopping cart. It was very difficult for him to push the cart. Tang Tang felt distressed. Generally, children like him would sit directly in the cart and be pushed by adults, just like the male lead on TV.
Tang Tang looked around and found that there were really many adults pushing children in the cart. She also said to the little boy, "Baby, Mommy will push you. Sit in the cart. Mommy will push you."
Ji Xiaozhuo looked at the other children sitting in the cart. A trace of desire flashed in his eyes, but he shook his head. "I won't sit. This is for three-year-old children." He was almost four years old, not a three-year-old child, and … the little boy quietly glanced at Tang Tang's leg in plaster.
Tang Tang didn't believe that the little boy didn't want to sit. She immediately said, "It's okay. Baby, although you're not a three-year-old child, you're still a child. Come on."
The little fellow still shook her head and continued to push the car inside with a serious expression. She didn't forget to say in disdain, "You can't even walk properly. I don't want to be pushed down. Hurry up and go."
Tang Tang understood that the little boy felt sorry for her because of her leg.
