Chapter 11

Chen Jiao reached out and supported Wu Guilan.

Wu Guilan turned her head to look at her, moved her lips, seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, and finally said nothing.

When she arrived at the east room and saw her son lying motionless on the bed, Wu Guilan couldn’t help but feel sad again.

But she held back in the end.

Chen Jiao helped her sit down on the armchair beside the bed.

Then he took out the money, salary book and food book that the military comrade had just given her and handed them to Wu Guilan.

“Mom, these were just given to me by Zhengxu’s two comrades.

There was the 3,000 yuan that Zhengxu saved himself, and the 500 yuan that his comrades contributed to us, a total of 3,500 yuan.

Zhengxu has not retired from the army and still receives a monthly salary of 78 yuan and 10 kilograms of fine grains and 28 kilograms of coarse grains.

I’ve calculated that with these, we will have enough to raise Yangyang and Nannan. ”

As she said this, she stuffed all these things into Wu Guilan’s hands and said, “Mom, this is for you. Please keep it well.”

Wu Guilan stared blankly at the thick stack of money, then at Chen Jiao, her eyes widened in shock, “This… so much money!”

Chen Jiao smiled and said, “Zhengxu thought about our family. I guess he didn’t spend much money outside in the past few years, so he saved it all.”

Wu Guilan held back her tears and nodded.

But the tears still rolled down uncontrollably.

Wu Guilan quickly wiped her tears and pushed the money and two notebooks to Shen Jiao, “Jiaojiao, Mom is old and can’t hold so much money.

You still keep this money, salary book and food allowance. ”

Wu Guilan said this and turned her head away, somewhat afraid to look at Shen Jiao’s face, “Jiao Jiao, Zheng Xu has become like this now.

Mom should have let you go, but these two kids…”

She looked at her grandchildren with her eyes red from crying.

Her son is lying in bed. She is old and might die one day.

If she passed away someday, the two children would not have grown up yet, and the daughter-in-law would have passed away, the two children…

Shen Jiao sighed inwardly.

If Lu Zhengxu came back safely and there was no love between them, she would definitely divorce him and leave.

But the Lu family is in such a state right now, with the old, the young, and the sick. If she passed away at this time, this family might…

Forget it, she decided to stay and cure Lu Zhengxu first.

Just think of it as her occupying the original owner’s body and paying off the original owner’s debt!

She expressed her determination to Wu Guilan: “Mom, don’t worry, I won’t leave.

I said, I will live a good life with you and the children in the future. I will live a good life with you and the children.

unless……”

She glanced at the handsome man on the bed, “I will only leave if Zhengxu wakes up and wants to divorce me.”

Wu Guilan moved her lips but couldn’t say anything, such as even if her son woke up, she would not allow him to divorce.

Because she knew that the possibility of her son waking up was almost zero.

Her son had told her before that the military region had the best hospitals, the best equipment, and the best doctors.

My son couldn’t be cured in the military hospital and was carried back in a half-dead state.

How can I get better on my own when I’m lying in bed now?

In the end, Chen Jiao kept the money and the notebook.

She had just put everything away when there was a knock on the door.

Chen Jiao asked Wu Guilan and the two children to stay in the room and talk to Lu Zhengxu, and she went to open the door.

Lu Lingyang stood up alertly, looked at Chen Jiao and said, “Mom, I’ll go with you to open the door.”

Shen Jiao raised her eyebrows. This little guy was suddenly so well-behaved, he must have other intentions.

Sure enough, after Lu Lingyang followed Chen Jiao out of the room, he immediately stretched out his claws like a little wolf cub and warned her fiercely: “Don’t try any tricks!

Don’t even think about running away with my dad’s money, otherwise, I won’t let you go! ”

Chen Jiao looked at the little baby with bulging cheeks and couldn’t help but feel a little evil.

She reached out and pinched the little kid’s face, “Oh my, oh my, what can you do when you’re so tiny?”

Lu Lingyang was so angry that he was humming and hawing, his face was red and his neck was thick, but he could only stare at Chen Jiao and could do nothing.

Chen Jiao let go of his little face.

The little guy is too thin and the feel is still not very good.

I also have to find a way to feed it a little fatter so that it will be comfortable to pinch.

“Uncle, second uncle, third uncle… why are you all here?”

Outside the door, there was a large crowd of people standing.

In addition to Lu Liming, the team leader, there are also Lu Zhengxu’s second uncle and third uncle, as well as two sons from his second uncle’s family and his third uncle’s family.

Chen Jiao forced a smile on her face to greet him, but it didn’t hide her sadness.

When she looked at Lu Liming and Lu Zhengxu’s two uncles with this expression, even though she was sad for Lu Zhengxu, she still forced herself to greet them.

Lu Zhengxu’s father is the fourth child in the family, with two older brothers, an older sister, and a younger sister.

One of my two aunts married into the next brigade, and the other married into the commune.

Lu Wensong and Lu Wenbai, who came with Lu Liming now, are the two elder brothers of Lu Zhengxu’s father, and Lu Zhengxu’s second and third uncles.

Lu Wensong and Lu Wenbai didn’t say anything.

Lu Liming took a long drag of his dry tobacco, and looked at Chen Jiao with melancholy in the wrinkles on his face, “Zhengxu’s.

We uncles already know about Zhengxu’s situation.

You and your mother don’t have to worry, there is always a way to solve the problem. ”

“Before I came here, I went to the brigade headquarters and reported Zhengxu’s situation to them.

No matter what, Zhengxu was injured while on duty in the army, defending the country and the people.

For your family’s situation, the brigade and the commune will definitely provide some subsidies. ”

When Chen Jiao heard these words, her eyes turned red, “Uncle, thank you.”

Lu Liming waved his hands, “Why thank me? These are what I should do.

First take me, your second uncle, third uncle and your brothers in to see Zhengxu. ”

Chen Jiao led everyone into the house.

“Mom, my eldest uncle, second uncle, and third uncle are all here to see Zhengxu.”

Wu Guilan was hugging her granddaughter and wiping her tears as she watched her motionless son.

Hearing what Chen Jiao said, she quickly wiped her tears, stood up and said, “His eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, you are here.

I’ll get you a glass of water. ”

“Guilan, please stop busying yourself.” Lu Liming quickly called Wu Guilan and said, “I called Wensong and Wenbo here mainly to discuss your family’s future livelihood and the care of Zhengxu.”

Before Lu Liming could say anything, his third uncle Lu Wenbai spoke first, “Captain, you know the situation of our family.

Lu Wu’s wife is about to give birth, and as soon as the baby is born, she will need money for everything.

Lu Kai is still talking about marriage, which is another loss.

Their mother has been ill for a long time and needs to take medicine, which is a bottomless pit.

Life at our own home is difficult enough, and as for Zhengxu, we really… have the will but not the power! ”

Lu Wu and Lu Kai are the two sons of my third uncle Lu Wenbai.

The two were standing behind Lu Wenbai at this time. When they heard their father’s complaints, neither of them said anything.

It was obvious that they didn’t want to help.
