Chapter 38：

The funeral of Grandma Zhuzi was handled by the organization, and it was handled in a respectable manner according to the family members of the honorable soldiers.

But Zhuziniang never showed up. The organization sent people to investigate and determined that Zhuzi’s grandmother’s departure was an accident. Zhuzi was like a lost soul. Working hard, not crying or making trouble, Su Xiaoxiao looked very distressed.

The night of late autumn is slightly cool, and you can clearly see the moonlit sky with few stars, and the stars are high, clear and distant.

The small pillar who had taken a shower sat on the stone bench in the yard, staring at the stars in the sky for a moment.

Su Xiaoxiao was worried that something was wrong with the children. While Hancheng took the children to take a bath, Su Xiaoxiao sat beside Zhuzi: "Zhuzi, would you like to talk to Auntie?"

Zhuzi retracted his gaze from the sky, looked at Su Xiaoxiao, smiled hard, and shook his head: "Auntie Su, don't worry, I'm fine."

Su Xiaoxiao moved closer to him, pointed at the stars in the sky and said, "Have you seen the brightest star? It's called Sirius, and it's the eldest in the starry sky in the autumn night. It's very bright, right? That constellation over there is called Fairy. Seat, only visible in autumn."

Su Xiaoxiao's voice was very soft and soft, with a kind of heart-warming power in the cool autumn night.

Zhuzi was successfully distracted, he pointed at the constellation Tianxian and asked, "Aunt Su, the little rice ball said that you were the little fairy sent by his mother to protect him and Doubao. Did you come down from that constellation?"

Su Xiaoxiao was surprised, this little rice ball.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "I'm not," Su Xiaoxiao leaned closer and put her hands in the ear of the little pillar and said, "Secretly tell you a secret, I'm not a fairy, that's what the rice ball thought about, I'm just By chance, I married Onigiri's father and became a part of this family, just like Xiaozhu, who also became part of our family by chance."

Xiao Zhuzi stared at Su Xiaoxiao with round eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the child's eyes and said, "The rice ball should have told you that our family is united and friendly, and everyone is equal, so Xiao Zhuzi, on behalf of our family, I welcome you. Aunt Su hopes that you will be with you every day. Like rice **** and beanbags, be happy, then study hard, and improve every day, I will tell you another secret, that is, knowledge can change your destiny, little pillar, you just have to study hard in the future, and grow up well, what has happened, just let it Go over there."

Pillar cried.

Lying on Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder and crying, his grandmother left and he has no home, but he has a new home. Xiao Fandan and Aunt Su both said that their whole family welcomes him.

Xiaozhuzi felt that what Xiaofan said was right, Aunt Su was the little fairy who flew down from Andromeda to protect them.

Xiaodoubao and Xiaodoubao were sitting in a wooden bucket and playing with water. Xiaodoubao's hands could not touch the water. Han Cheng raised the little guy's hands to wash them and picked them up. The small rice ball fluttered about to get up, splashing Hancheng with water.

Han Cheng pressed the little guy back: "Don't move, my mother is comforting Xiaozhuzi. He cried a lot, and he will be fine tomorrow."

The little rice ball's big eyes rolled: "Dad, how do you know that the little pillar will be fine tomorrow?"

Han Cheng said, "Because he is the son of a hero and is as strong as a hero, he is not allowed to bully Xiao Zhuzi in the future, do you hear?"

The little rice ball seemed to understand, but he was lying on the side of the bucket with his cheeks bulging, and blinked: "Little Zhuzi is my brother, I didn't bully him!"

Han Cheng didn't eat this set, and threw the towel that had wiped the bean bag on his head: "Okay, get up, dry your body and put on your clothes."

The little rice ball was reluctant to get up from the bucket and muttered: "Mom is the best, if she helps me take a bath, she will definitely help me get dressed." Both are.

Han Cheng wanted to beat his ass.

When he was sleeping, Xiaodoubao slept between the pillar and the rice ball as usual. He had already fallen asleep and struggled to get up again. Xiaozhuzi was worried that he would get his hands, so he gently picked him up and sat down: "What's wrong with you, Xiaodoubao?"

Xiaodoubao's **** and white eyes slightly bent, looking at him and shouting: "Duoduo..."

The little rice ball heard Yi Gulu get up from the bed, grabbed Xiaodoubao and asked, "Xiaodoubao, what did you just say? Did you speak? Did you call me?"

Xiaodoubao puffed out his cheeks, blinked his big eyes and glanced at the small rice ball, then tilted his head and lay down from the side where his hand was not injured, closing his eyes and ignoring his brother.

The little rice ball shook Xiaozhuzi's arm excitedly: "Xiaozhuzi, did Xiaodoubao call me just now? Did he call me brother, right?"

Xiaozhuzi looked at the rice ball before saying anything, and finally said the truth: "It seems that he is calling me..."

The little rice ball disagreed, hugging Xiaodoubao and kissing his face: "No, Xiaodoubao is calling me!"

Xiaodou dodged him angrily: "Noisy..."

Su Xiaoxiao came in after taking a bath. Seeing that the three cubs were still making trouble, she reached out and patted the rice ball's **** and said, "It's very late, hurry up and go to bed."

The little rice ball immediately reported to Su Xiaoxiao: "Mom, Xiaodoubao is talking, he just called my brother and said I was noisy!"

Since Xiaodoubao called Su Xiaoxiao "mother", he never said a word, and he didn't even say anything when Han Cheng teased him. He is very happy now that he is willing to call him "brother".

Su Xiaoxiao patted the rice ball's little **** again: "You are very noisy, hurry up and go to bed, Zhuzi has to go to school tomorrow."

The three cubs fell asleep in Su Xiaoxiao's warm and healing fairy tale.

That night, Xiaozhuzi also slept very deeply. He dreamed of his kind grandma. Grandma smiled and told him that she had become the brightest star in the sky. When Zhuzi missed her grandma, she looked up at the sky. Xingxing, she will always be there to accompany him, and grandma told him to listen to Su Xiaoxiao's words, study hard, and grow up...

Hancheng was rushing to report with the lights on at night, and the work of Grandma Zhuzi has slowed down a lot of progress in the past few days.

Su Xiaoxiao knocked on the door and closed the door, hugged Han Cheng from behind, and rubbed his neck.

Han Cheng pulled her over with his backhand, held her on his lap in a child-holding position, and rubbed her neck like her: "Are the children asleep?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded in his arms: "All asleep."

"Zhuzi may not be the child of the Zhang family." Han Cheng suddenly said.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked at him in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Han Cheng told Su Xiaoxiao what Grandma Zhuzi said before her death, and finally said: "Zhuzi's father is an upright and honest person. Even if you can hide this from Grandma Zhuzi, you can't hide it from the organization. It should be true that Mother Zhuzi can't give birth. She married for a few years and didn't have any more children."

Su Xiaoxiao remembered the gossip of those aunts in Banyan Shutou, saying that the man disliked Zhuziniang and Kefu didn't touch her at all. In retrospect, it may be that Zhuziniang could not give birth to children at all.

"That pillar is an adopted child?" Su smiled and asked.

Han Cheng remembered what Zhao Xianfeng said to him after Grandma Zhuzi's funeral, and he asked him meaningfully: "Han Cheng, who do you think Zhuzi looks like?"

Zhuzi used to be very tanned, he didn't pay much attention to hygiene, and he was dressed in tatters, so everyone paid little attention to him. After arriving at Hancheng's house, he was raised with them for a few days with rice **** and beanbags. With clean clothes, it is not difficult to find that he is a very marked child. His facial features are deeper than ordinary people, and the most distinctive feature is the tall nose with a little eagle hook.

When I was young, the bridge of my nose wouldn't be so prominent if it didn't grow up, but after the age of six, it was much more obvious.

Zhu Zi looks neither like Zhu Zi's father nor like Zhu Zi's mother, so Zhao Xianfeng actually gave the answer when he asked this question.

At least Han Cheng thought of who it was for the first time.

Such a big thing, Zhuzi's father can't hide it from the sky alone, which means that Zhuzi became the child of Zhang's family, which was arranged by the organization.

Zhuzi's father and Zhuzi's mother have not had children for a few years after their marriage. Zhuzi's father should know Zhuzi's true identity and readily accept this arrangement, even recognizing that Zhuzi is his own son. He may have suggested it.

In these days, being infertile is fatal to a woman. Madam Zhuzi can't give birth. In order to block the public, as long as she pretends to be pregnant for a few months and can't go out, Zhuzi is their biological child. She may be out of this consideration. Pillar recognized.

As for how Daddy Zhuzi told Mother Zhuzi, it is unknown, or perhaps Mother Zhuzi had decided from the very beginning that Zhuzi was the child he had with a woman outside, after all, she could not have children.

Han Cheng has seen the pensions issued by the organization, which are richer than ordinary soldiers of the same level, and may also mean special care, but he did not expect that most of them would end up in Zhuziniang's pocket.

Zhuzi is alive and well, and the organization will not pay too much attention to attract attention. In addition, grandma Zhuzi has never reported this matter to the organization, so a few years have passed.

If it weren't for the last words of Grandma Zhuzi, Zhao Xianfeng would not have thought of it at all, let alone Han Cheng.

However, Zhu Zi's life experience has to be kept secret for the time being, and it is not a 100% sure thing. He and Zhao Xianfeng are only speculating, and other people don't know. It is better to have less than one thing. He should not reply to Su Xiaoxiao. too much.

Han Cheng rubbed her head: "It's a big deal, you know that there is such a thing, we just need to remember that Zhuzi is the orphan of a martyr, the descendant of a hero."

Su Xiaoxiao heard Han Cheng say that it may be the organization arrangement and can also think of it a bit. In this sensitive period, there are too many innocent people implicated, and even the grandparents of rice **** and beanbags dare not contact them too much, let alone Other identities are more sensitive.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed: "Grandma Zhuzi values ​​bloodline so much, she would be very sad if she knew."

Han Cheng shook his head: "Zhuzi will always be Zhang Zhu of the old Zhang family, and he will not have any other identity. It's just that Grandma Zhuzi asked me and Zhao Xianfeng to help me find Zhuzi's mother. I'm afraid it will be put on hold."

Anyway, this is a temporary stop here.

Han Cheng tightened his arms around Su Xiaoxiao, and looked at her with dark eyes for a moment: "President Yao told me today that the political trial is over, and I will be granted leave next week. Set up our wedding room."

Su Xiaoxiao almost forgot about this, she got off Han Cheng's lap, raised a shallow pear vortex, and clenched her fists at Han Cheng: "Then let me congratulate Comrade Han Cheng first, you will hug him soon. The beauty has returned."

Han Cheng laughed: "I already hugged."

…

Early the next morning, the sun rose as promised.

At six o'clock, Han Cheng woke up the two children on time.

Xiao Zhuzi rubbed his eyes, got up quickly, and the little rice ball hugged the little quilt without letting go, and was picked up by Han Cheng directly from the bed.

Xiaodoubao opened his eyes in a daze, looked at his father and two brothers, moved to the innermost bit by bit, and continued to sleep soundly.

Xiaoyuer also likes Xiaozhuzi very much, probably because Zhao Xianfeng also said something to Xiaoyuer when he went back. , But today, Xiaoyuer brought Big White Rabbit toffee, and gave two to the rice ball and two to Xiaozhuzi. He also said that the three of them are good friends and will run together every day after an appointment.

Three cubs race in front.

Han Cheng and Zhao Xianfeng fell behind.

Zhao Xianfeng looked at the back of the pillar and said, "I don't know if it's a psychological effect. The more I look at it, the more I look like it."

Han Cheng glanced at him: "Don't talk nonsense, he is Zhang Zhu of the old Zhang family now."

Zhao Xianfeng said: "I know, I'm not stupid, I won't talk about it in the future."

Han Cheng changed the subject: "Next Monday, drive your car over for me to use, and Xiaoxiao and I went to the city to get the license."

Zhao Xianfeng slapped Han Cheng: "Did you come down so soon? Okay, I'm urging you a lot?"

Han Cheng looked at the smiling faces of the children in front of him, and felt that the good life he had now was all due to Su Xiaoxiao. He was not at ease for a day without arguing.

It's not that he is worried that Su Xiaoxiao will run away, but that he wants the sense of steadfastness that is justifiable, and the reality of being a justifiable husband and wife.

"This family can't be without her now without anyone." After Han Cheng finished speaking, he ran straight forward.

Zhao Xianfeng was stunned for a while before he realized that Han Cheng had been dropped by someone, right? What the **** are you talking about?

If he told Zhou Yuhua like this, Zhou Yuhua would definitely think that he was a ghost: "Han Cheng, stop for me and give me goosebumps..."

…

After Xiaodoubao got up, Su Xiaoxiao first made him half a glass of milk, and after brushing his teeth, he let him drink the milk.

There is not much milk powder, so I have to drink it sparingly. The other two cubs can only drink one cup of malted milk essence every other day, and they can go to the city for replenishment on Monday.

It was a rare trip to the city, Su Xiaoxiao planned to make a purchase list first, and then went to the non-staple food factory to buy everything that could be bought, and no matter what method was used, be sure to buy back the oil and make It's really hard to eat vegetables without oil.

Xiaodoubao handed the milk to Su Xiaoxiao, and said in a milky voice, "Mama, drink~~~"

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed immediately, the little cub really loves her, and will give her anything good first.

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to take a sip, smashed her mouth and said, "Mom has tried it, it's delicious, it's cub's turn to drink."

Xiaodoubao frowned, as if dissatisfied with Su Xiaoxiao's drinking, and pushed her closer: "Drink~~~"

Su Xiaoxiao was embarrassed. Are milk dolls under two years old so hard to deceive?

"Mom is an adult, you don't need to drink this. You see, Dad didn't drink it either. Xiaodoubao is a child. When you grow up, you need to drink more so that you can grow as tall as your father."

Xiaodoubao thought about it seriously, then picked up the cup and drank it "gudugudu".

Su smiled and rubbed his head.

The men from the morning exercise also came back, and Su Xiaoxiao brought out the prepared breakfast.

Today's breakfast is very simple, sweet potato porridge and dried plum vegetables.

Su Xiaoxiao, the dried plum vegetable, fry the lard residue. It is very fragrant. It is used to eat it with sweet potato porridge. Hancheng drank a bowl of porridge more than usual.

Su Xiaoxiao found that Xiaodoubao didn't like to talk very much when there were many people, but when only the two of them were there, he was still happy to talk.

For example, now, no matter how the onigiri teased him, he turned his face away with character and ignored his brother.

After dinner, go to work, go to school, go to school, study at home.

Another busy and fulfilling day.

There are no weekends to speak of this year. Xiaozhuzi has to go to labor class on weekends, and Hancheng also goes to work as usual.

In the blink of an eye, it was Monday, the happy day for Su Xiaoxiao and Han Cheng to receive their certificates.

Zhao Xianfeng drove the old jeep to the door of Hancheng's house early in the morning, and repeatedly said congratulations to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao thanked him and gave him some flatbreads and eggs baked in the morning.

Zhao Xianfeng declined: "The army is in charge of breakfast, you keep it on the road to eat, in short, I wish you a good life and a son."

Su Xiaoxiao: "..." I have two sons, thank you.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't force him, anyway, there were still porridge, pancakes and eggs in the pot for Zhuzi, and it was okay to leave more for Zhuzi to eat at noon.

Su Xiaoxiao originally wanted Xiaozhuzi to take a day off, and the family went to the city for a day, but Xiaozhuzi shook his head and refused: "Aunt Su, my current study progress is not as good as onigiri, and if I ask for leave, I will not be able to keep up, you guys. Go, I won't go."

Zhuzi also went to school seriously before, but he didn't work so hard. Since grandma Zhuzi left, coupled with the terrifying learning ability of rice balls, Xiaozhuzi really started to study hard.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't force him, but it wasn't easy to tell him that if he studied with the one-of-a-kind scholar like onigiri, everyone would be abused.

The rice ball patted his chest: "Don't worry, Xiaozhuzi, I will bring you gifts and buy you candy!"

The rice **** were fed with "porridge, noodles, noodles and rice" and left enough water for them. Su Xiaoxiao said, Xiaozhuzi will feed them when he comes back at noon, but the rice **** said goodbye to them solemnly and told them to go to the city. .

Su Xiaoxiao chose a decent dress with the fewest patches, Han Cheng put on a military uniform, and the rice ball and Xiaodoubao also put on the new clothes and shoes he bought before, with enough money and various tickets, driving Zhao Xianfeng's old jeep, The family headed for the city in a mighty way...
