The cries of the small bean bun were too loud. From time to time, patrolling soldiers would rush over when they heard the sound.
A five-year-old child, already learned how to understand the world and was afraid of causing trouble for others, smiled apologetically at the passing soldiers and kept apologizing.
Su Zhi held back the tears in her heart and tightly held her hands under her sleeves. She let out a long sigh and then trotted over with a smile.
"Little Dou Bao, why aren't you being good again? You have to learn from big brother."
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
The two children stopped making noise and rushed towards her, hugging her as she crouched down.
"Mother, where's father?"
A Jin was smiling happily. Her bright big eyes were looking around, afraid that she wouldn't see the man hiding in the dark to give them a surprise.
Su Zhi stood up and led him back, "A Jin, come in first. Mom has something to tell you."
A Jin absent-mindedly nodded her head. Her little head still looked left and right, unwilling to return to her tent. There was no one there.
"Mother, where's father? A Jin hasn't seen him in a long time, she really misses him. Please quickly let him out. "
Su Zhi hugged the small bean bun in her arms. She didn't dare to look at Ah Jin's childish face, and was so saddened that she couldn't breathe.
She didn't have any feelings for Nie Rufeng. Although it was a pity, it was mostly because the poor child had lost his father long ago.
She patted the bean bag in her arms, trying to coax her daughter to sleep.
During that time, A Jin patiently avoided bothering her.
Today, for some reason, the little bean bun refused to sleep. It hummed a little with a 'Daddy' in its mouth.
After finally coaxing the child to sleep, Su Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, and helped the little girl straighten her clothes, then slowly turned around to face A Jin who had a look of anticipation on her face.
"Mother? Father? "
Su Zhi pulled him into her arms tightly, yet she was still unable to say anything.
A Jin seemed to have expected something as he struggled to push her away.
"Mother, say something, where is my father? He said he would make me a paper kite, and when the East rose, he would go to the courtyard to fly it. He said he was going to teach me how to hunt, and I was waiting for him to make me a bow. Mother, please speak. "
"Jin..." Your father went to the front and will be back in a few days. "
Since she really couldn't bear to make him sad, Su Zhi could only casually make up an unfounded lie.
"You lied to me, brother soldier said that the war is already over!"
"Jin..." "I …"
A Jin pushed his mother away, trying to calm her down. This was the first time the normally well-behaved child cried in front of Su Zhi. His eyes were red and swollen as he asked her, "Daddy died in battle, right? "My father is gone …"
"A Jin, you heard from mom that your dad just went somewhere far away and will come back. He still needs to take care of you and your sister, so he won't leave you behind. "
"Liar!" You lied to me! I want father! "
"Jin!"
Nie Rufeng had died in battle. The ones who were the most unwilling to believe this were either Su Zhi or A Jin.
His father's glory was deeply engraved in his memory, how could he be willing to lose that magnificent figure.
The argument between the two was too loud, waking up the small bean bun. A Jin couldn't take the impact anymore and turned around to run outside.
Su Zhi wanted to chase after her, but her daughter's wailing stopped her.
By the time she picked up her beanbag and chased after him, where was the child outside the tent?
Su Zhi panicked a little. She was worried that A Jin wouldn't be able to bear the shock and do something stupid, and that her child wouldn't be able to bear it. If there was such a thing, what would she do?
