The mother of the era is reborn to support her cannon fodder children!

Chapter 92 "Sound of a Heartbeat"

"That's what you mean." Song Xi tilted his head slightly to look at her, pushed the bowl that was placed too close to the edge of the table, and then said, "Zhao Zhao asked me to ask your opinion."

Before she could finish her words, Yuan Xiangniang hurriedly said, "See you!"

"Arrange a meeting between the two!"

Song Xi choked slightly, "Don't be impatient, listen to me first. You don't even know who the other person is."

"You are Xiangxiang's aunt. The fact that you can bring it up... shows that the young man is not bad. I believe you." Yuan Xiangniang's eyes showed trust.

“…” Song Xiwei had nothing to say.

After a moment's silence, she said, "Xiangxiang's marriage is still up to you."

Apart from the matters between Lin Heling and Lin Zhao, she was too lazy to care about other matters.

Yuan Xiangniang understood the implication of her younger sister's words and urged her without forcing her. "Tell me about that young man's situation."

Song Xiwei didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, explaining the man's situation in just a few words.

Of course, it was Zhao Zhao who told her the basic situation in a relatively general sense.

Yuan Xiangniang's face changed from smiling to frowning, depending on what Song Xiwei said.

After listening to it, she sighed with a hint of regret: "The conditions are good, but... why are there problems with his legs and feet?"

Song Xi raised his eyelids slightly and gave him a sharp look.

She said bluntly: "If he hadn't had problems with his legs and feet, he, a good young man from the city with a job and a house, would have been fought over by everyone long ago, and Xiangxiang wouldn't have had a chance to show up."

"That's true. I was overthinking it." Yuan Xiangniang smiled awkwardly.

She didn't dislike him, she just felt sorry for him.

"I still say the same thing, let the two of them meet."

Song Xiwei said, "It's fine to meet her. Tell Xiangxiang about this first and ask her opinion. If she's not happy at all, forget it. We can't make it difficult for my Zhaozhao. She still has to get along with her colleagues."

She was worried that Xiangxiang had just been broken up and had no interest in a blind date.

Marriage should be a happy thing, not just for the sake of getting married.

"I know, I'll go ask her right now." Yuan Xiangniang couldn't sit still when she thought of the gossip of the villagers. She said something to Song Xiwei and turned to look for her daughter.

At this moment, a low coughing sound was heard from inside the room, as if someone was covering their mouth with a cloth, but still let out a few hoarse breaths.

Song Xiwei stood up suddenly and rushed into the inner room in two steps.

"Why are you coughing again? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" she asked with concern.

Lin Heling suppressed the cough that was about to hit his throat, and looked apologetically, "I'm sorry for disturbing you."

"Why are you saying that?" Song Xiwei didn't like hearing him say such polite things. She casually opened the lid of the enamel pot, took off the cork of the thermos, poured hot water into the cup, and walked towards the bed with the cup, "Drink some water."

Lin Heling smiled gently, took the enamel pot, drank a sip of water, and the discomfort in his chest eased a little.

His body had suffered a lot when he was young. He couldn't bear the cold or the heat, couldn't bear hunger or fullness, so even if he took good care of himself, problems would appear every now and then.

Song Xiwei took him to see many doctors, and they all said that this was a disease of affluence and that he needed to be well treated.

If it weren’t for my wife taking care of me all these years, the grass on my grave would have been several feet high!

"I'll take the wild ginseng that Cheng Huai sent me and ask the doctor how to use it. The weather is getting cold soon, so I'd better take some care of myself in advance." Song Xiwei sat down on the edge of the bed with a smile on her face, but her brows were slightly frowned, filled with worry.

Every winter is hard for Lin Heling.

"Okay." Lin Heling responded gently, "Thank you for your hard work."

Song Xiwei's face was full of disapproval, "What do you mean by hardship? If you worry about so much in your life, how can you even get by?"

She took the enamel pot from Lin Heling's hand, put it on the cabinet, and held Lin Heling's hand. She felt that the man's hand was a little cold, his face was tense, and he clasped his hands together and rubbed them several times.

His hands were long and well-proportioned, with distinct joints but not bony. When rubbed vigorously, they looked lightly pink.

"I was the one who brought you home. I know everything about you. You have never been a burden to me." Song Xiwei tried to comfort her man.

On the surface, she contributed the most to this family, but in reality, He Ling also did his best to treat her well.

Teach her to read and write.

Knowing that she was not good at sewing, he taught her himself. All the clothes she and he wore were made by him, even the bedding.

She couldn't eat anything during her pregnancy, so the man tried every possible way to get her to eat one more bite. He knew that she would feel better if she ate sour plums, so he went to learn how to do it.

When she gave birth to her first child, the baby was too big and she almost couldn't deliver it. He gave her the life-saving medicine that he had hidden away and was reluctant to take.

He raised the children in the family and provided them with their enlightenment education. He also made great efforts in finding a wife for his son and Zhao Zhao's marriage...

There are so many things that it is impossible to count them all.

This family must have Song Xiwei, but Lin Heling is also indispensable.

After hearing his wife's words, Lin Heling seemed to be confused as to why she felt that she had snatched it back, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

There was a helpless smile in his eyes, and he said softly: "I followed you willingly, you didn't snatch me back."

"Hmm?" This was different from what Song Xiwei thought.

"If I don't want to, I would rather die with honor." Lin Heling said with a smile.

Before meeting Xi Wei, his world was a dark wasteland, burned by fire, barren and devoid of life, and the moonlight seemed shrouded in smoke. She was the only passionate flower to break through the soil and bloom in his barren land.

How could he not want to go to her?

Song Xiwei's heart was shocked and she looked up at him, "Really?"

"What else?" Lin Heling asked with a smile, but the expression on his face was serious.

He sighed softly, "What a failure I am! We've been together for over thirty years, and yet I've never let you see my true feelings. What a failure."

They knew each other when they were less than 20 years old. They had gone through the most difficult war years. The old system was broken and the new one was rebuilt. Their children were married and they even had grandchildren. They didn't expect that there would still be such a misunderstanding.

Lin Heling smiled helplessly.

"What's the failure? I didn't think about it..." Song Xiwei always felt that Lin Heling was forced to come by her.

The image of her first encounter with Lin Heling was still vivid in her mind. Even though he was covered in dirt, that young man's refined demeanor couldn't conceal his exceptional aura, leaving a lasting impression.

Because she is very strong and has some martial arts skills, she has been lawless since she was a child. It is rare that she falls in love with someone, but after saving him, she will carry him away without thinking.

Lin Heling had a keen mind and could see through his wife's thoughts at a glance. He smiled and said, "Do you know how I felt when I first met you?"

They never talked about this topic. Song Xiwei felt that their beginning was not decent, so she avoided it at first. Later, she felt that living in the present was the most important thing, so she always deliberately avoided it.

just now.

The two of them have spent most of their lives together and there is nothing they can't talk about.

"What is it?" She was really curious.

"I was thinking at the time, where did this female general come from? She's so cool, and I was a little envious..." Lin Heling leaned back to relieve the cough that was about to reach his throat.

"Envy?" Song Xi was slightly stunned. "You envy me?!" She was very surprised.

"Why should I be envious? Before I met you, I couldn't even read. I was like a wild monkey running around in the mountains..."

Lin Heling shook his head in disapproval, his voice as clear as yesterday. He smiled, looking at his wife with an extremely gentle gaze, "No, you don't know how dazzling you are."

Dazzling?
Song Xiwei knew what this word meant, but she had never associated herself with it.

"The vigorous vitality in you, the infectious smile, and your self-confidence that seems like nothing can defeat you are all very dazzling." Lin Heling said seriously.

What he didn't say was that when he witnessed her beating up the three bandits who were burning, killing, looting and smashing things, a ray of light appeared in his dark world.

Every step she took towards him was fueled by him.

Song Xiwei felt happy and light all over, and looked several years younger.

He said uncomfortably: "I am old, what's the point of talking about being dazzling."

Lin Heling still disagreed, "In my heart, you haven't changed at all."

In his eyes, his wife will always be that fiery red girl who makes his heart beat faster the moment he sees her.

Song Xi smiled, and the smile lines at the corners of her eyes were tinged with happiness.

If there were someone there, they would be able to see that her smile at this moment was somewhat similar to Lin Heling's.

When lovers are together for a long time, their expressions will inevitably become the same.

Lin Heling climbed out of bed, holding onto the edge. As he stood up, his shoulders and neck tensed slightly, like a slowly drawn bow, his movements a bit slow. He'd had a low-grade fever the previous night, and hadn't slept well, leaving him feeling a bit weak.

"Why did you come down? Do you want to go to the bathroom?" Song Xiwei reached out to help him.

She was very strong, with bulging arm muscles, and could easily lift a man up. When they first got together, they would often make awkward mistakes, such as Lin Heling's feet suddenly leaving the ground, or she bending over to pick him up... Under the man's awkward and helpless persuasion, she learned to restrain herself.

This time he was just lending Lin Heling some strength, but he didn't help him off the ground.

"It's uncomfortable lying down. The hand ointment is gone. I'll make you a new one." Lin Heling moved his body and after feeling comfortable, he walked out side by side with Song Xiwei.

He had suffered a head injury and had forgotten where his home was and who his relatives were, but he did not forget the knowledge he had learned. His mind was mixed and messy, but he gradually remembered some useful things.

Hand ointment is just one of them, there is also facial ointment.

He tinkered with things whenever he had time, and Song Xiwei supported him and helped him find materials. If it weren't for Lin Heling's various efforts, the couple wouldn't be at least ten years younger than their peers.

"It's not too late to do it after you get better." Song Xiwei was worried about her husband's health.

Lin Heling stroked her fingers with his fingertips, smiling gently, "I know what I'm doing. If I can't hold on any longer, I'll stop."

Song Xiwei wanted to say something when she saw her elder sister.

Lin Heling nodded to Xiangxiang Niang, "Big sister."

"Hey." Xiangxiang's mother had just walked out of the backyard and saw her sister and brother-in-law holding hands and talking about something. There was no room for even a single person to squeeze in between them. She wanted to quietly return to the backyard, but she was unexpectedly stopped by the two sharp-eyed people.

oops.

My younger sister and her brother-in-law have a relationship that has remained as good as ever for decades. Her teeth are almost falling out with sourness!
Song Xiwei calmly released the hand she was holding with Lin Heling and asked, "Sister, have you finished asking Xiangxiang for her opinion?"

Lin Heling patted his wife's arm and went straight to the kitchen.

"Xibao..." Song Xiwei just called out her name, and Xibao interrupted her: "Grandma, I'll go help grandpa!"

As he spoke, the cheerful figure disappeared into the kitchen, and an energetic voice rang out, "Master, I'll help you light the fire!"

Outside the hospital.

Song Xiwei lay on a bamboo chair under the jujube tree, took out a palm-leaf fan from the side of the chair, fanned herself, and asked her elder sister, "What did Xiangxiang say?"

Xiangxiang's mother felt complicated when she saw her younger sister looking comfortable and relaxed.

Life is not the same no matter who you are with.

This thought flashed through her mind, and she came to her senses and said, "Xiangxiang said she wanted to see me."

"Does she know that the young man has a bad leg?" Song Xiwei asked directly to the point.

"I know. Xiangxiang said she is willing." said Xiangxiang's mother.

At this time, Xibao came over with two bowls.

Xiangxiang's mother hurriedly got up to answer it.

The bowl contains soft and glutinous mung bean soup with a few lily bulbs floating in it.

"...My master asked me to deliver it."

After putting it down, she ran back to the kitchen.

"I made it early in the morning, and my elder sister wants to drink it too."

Xiangxiang's mother didn't hesitate. After taking a sip, she smiled and said, "It even has sugar in it."

"Zhao Zhao sent the mung beans and candy. She said she was worried her father and I would get a heat stroke," Song Xi said with a smile. "It's amazing that Zhao Zhao thought of you when she had these good things. She's filial and hasn't let you down," Xiang Xiang's mother said.

She knew how good her younger sister and brother-in-law were to their only daughter. She used to worry that Zhaozhao would be spoiled and become a heartless and ungrateful person, but now it seemed that they were not so bad.

Song Xi smiled but said nothing.

"Ding-ling-ling!" The bicycle bell rang outside the door.

Then came a clear male voice.

"Sister-in-law!"

The two women in the yard looked at each other.

"What a coincidence! I just asked Yuncheng to help pass on the message." Song Xi said with a smile, and then said to the kitchen: "Xibao, bring out another bowl of mung bean soup."

Xibao's energetic voice rang out, "Hey! I got it!"

……

After twelve o'clock, the sun became more dazzling, and it bared its fangs and claws, as if it wanted to burn everything on the ground to a crisp.

Song Yunjin bought some soda and rode his bike back to the supply and marketing cooperative, panting, his forehead covered in sweat.

Before reaching the supply and marketing cooperative, I saw Lin Zhao's figure around the corner.

She was wearing a wide-brimmed hat, standing in the shade, holding a small bamboo basket in her hand.

"sister!"

Lin Zhao looked up and saw that under the natural light, her exposed skin was dazzlingly white and bright.

"Sister, what are you doing outside? What if you get heatstroke?" Song Yunjin jumped off the bicycle, looking anxious.

What was he doing? He was buying movie tickets and taking out two pounds of meat from his storage ring, intending to have Yunjin take it back.

Lin Zhao stepped forward, shoved the basket into his hands, snatched the bicycle, and said, "I got two pounds of meat. Take it back. You're so greedy, I don't even want to know you."

Her strength was like her mother's, and with a gentle push, Song Yunjin was forced to move away.

The young man carefully lifted the cover and saw the delicious fresh meat. His pupils suddenly shrank and he said in anger, "Sister, where did you get the meat?"

It’s still more than two kilograms!

"What do you care about me? Take the meat back and I'll come back when I'm about to get off work." Lin Zhao didn't know how to explain, so she had to send him away with an impatient look.

Song Yunjin was used to his sister's erratic temper and didn't dare to ask any further questions. He hung the basket on the front of the car and said, "Sister, I don't want it. You take it back to feed the four kids. My parents said that I must understand you. If I accept anything from you again, they will beat me."

After he finished speaking, he tried to run away, but Lin Zhao grabbed the back of his clothes.

"..."

Song Yunjin's legs thrashed around, but he couldn't move forward half a meter.

He turned around helplessly and said pleadingly, "Sister, please let me go. It's so embarrassing if someone sees us."

Lin Zhao let go of his hand, stuffed the basket back into his arms, and threatened, "If you dare to refuse again, I'll beat you up right now!"

"Do you want your uncle and aunt to beat you, or do you want me to beat you? Think it over carefully."

Song Yunjin: He is not stupid, okay? Even if his parents beat him together, it still can’t hurt as much as his sister alone.

"Sister~!" Song Yunjin cried aggrievedly.

His eyebrows drooped and the corners of his eyes drooped, making him look like a large dog that had been wronged by its owner.

"Don't act pitiful!" Lin Zhao patted the boy's head and said fearlessly, "Just say I forced you to accept it. If you don't accept it, I'll be angry. Your uncle and aunt won't beat you."

Song Yunjin's face lit up and he said, "Then I'll take it."

Lin Zhao looked at him, said nothing, and pushed the cart away.

As they were walking, a few students appeared in front of them, their eyes as sharp as hawks, scanning all suspicious people.

Lin Zhao felt that these people looked familiar.

Upon closer inspection, it was the man who had stopped her and Gu Chenghuai before, questioned them whether they were having an affair, ordered them to produce their marriage certificate, and was finally ordered to leave by Gu Chenghuai with a "get out" sound.

When Song Yunjin saw these people, his face changed slightly and he hurried forward, trying to stand in front of his sister.

However, those people just glanced at them lightly and then turned and left.

Damn, the evil star’s wife!

Run away.

"Huh?" Song Yunjin was confused.

"Strange." He lowered his voice very low, with something flashing in his eyes.

"Those guys just now are the most violent group in our school. They always want to dig up the rat holes in the corners to see if there are any corrupt officials hiding inside. I didn't expect them to be so easy to talk to today."

Lin Zhao said, "Your brother-in-law and I met them on the road and were stopped by them."

"What happens after you stop her?" Song Yunjin asked curiously as he blocked the slanting sun for his sister.

"Your brother-in-law is a soldier who has seen blood. How could he be scared by a few little brats? He said 'get out', and those people just made way for us, and we left." Lin Zhao said with a smile.

When Song Yunjin imagined that scene, his whole body lit up, his breathing became heavier, and his dark eyes were like two small flames.

"Calm down." Lin Zhao snapped her fingers, giving him a smack on the head, and sneered, "Your brother-in-law is a soldier. He's experienced a lot, so he's not afraid of those foolish kids. If you dare to say 'get out', he'll break your legs."

Song Yunjin regained consciousness and smiled awkwardly.

"I know my own limitations and don't want to do anything stupid," he said.

"That's better. Go back quickly and put the meat away when you get home. Be careful not to let it get stinky. I still have to go to work, so I'll go in first." Lin Zhao left after saying this.

……

Later in the afternoon, Li Fen's husband came to the supply and marketing cooperative again, bringing the money for the 500 matchboxes and new materials.

Lin Zhao thanked him and accepted the money and materials.

I'll send this money and the materials for making matchboxes over with Gu Chenghuai when he delivers two stones in the evening.

I don’t know if the kid’s father has been to his eldest sister-in-law’s house?

Wei family.

Wei Xiangdong came back from the mountain and learned that the two stones had been taken away. He raised his eyebrows and said nothing, but his opinion of the third branch of the Gu family completely changed in his heart.

He leaned over and splashed water to wash his face. His sweaty coarse shirt stuck to his body, revealing the distinct lines of his muscles.

"Sister-in-law is here today." Gu Chan said suddenly.

Wei Xiangdong raised his head suddenly, his eyes sharp, "What is she doing here? Did she bully you?"

"She wanted to hit me, but luckily Cheng Huai came to see me..." and helped me vent my anger.

Before he could finish the second half of the sentence, the man wiped his face, shook off the water from his palms, strode out of the door, and rushed straight to the Wei family's old house.

As soon as he entered the door, he picked up the shoulder pole leaning against the wall and smashed it against the door of the Wei family's main house, causing dust to fall from the window frames.

Sawdust is flying.

Wei Xiangdong's voice was filled with anger, "Come out here!"

Mrs. Wei didn't dare to breathe and huddled in the corner of the room pretending to be dead.

"You, you, look at what you have done." Brother Wei looked annoyed and complained.

He didn't dare to go out because his wife had caused the death. The second brother got angry and didn't care about his relatives. He didn't care whether the man was his biological brother or not, and just started beating him.

"Stop pretending to be dead. I know you are in the house. Get out of here quickly, or I will tear down your house!" Wei Xiangdong said murderously.

Mrs. Wei cared most about these rooms. Impulsively, she opened the door, blocked the way in front of the room, and said, "How dare you!"

Wei Xiangdong didn't bother to talk nonsense. He picked up the broom next to him and swung his arm. The broom flew accurately towards her face.

First there was a "bang", followed by a "click".

The broom made close contact with Mrs. Wei's face and then fell to the ground.

Mrs. Wei felt a burning pain on her face. She reached out and wiped her fingers, and there was bright red blood on them.

She fell to the ground, raised her head and howled: "Ah, someone hit me, Wei Xiangdong hit my sister-in-law——"

A few heads popped up from the earthen walls on both sides. They were neighbors who were curious about what the Wei family was arguing about.

The old couple of the Wei family woke up from their sleep and ran out in a hurry.

"Xiangdong, what's going on?" Old Mrs. Wei glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law lying on the ground and didn't go to help her.

"Mom, ask her. She wanted to beat my wife while I was away. If I don't beat her, who should I beat?" Wei Xiangdong was very angry.

Old Master Wei didn't want to be laughed at, so he chased away the neighbors who were watching the fun from the walls on both sides and said, "If you have anything to say, tell us two old people. Why do you have to do it right away..."

Before he could finish his words, Wei Xiangdong interrupted him, "Is it Dad who can control her, or Mom?"

The old couple of the Wei family: "..."

"I won't talk about the past. Now we've separated. If she dares to come to my house again and cause trouble for Achan, I'll beat her up."

Wei Xiangdong had just finished speaking when Gu Chan arrived late. She called out to her parents-in-law, but without looking at her sister-in-law who was crying and clamoring for compensation, she pulled the man away.

The couple left the Wei family's house.

Gu Chan vaguely heard the sensible mother-in-law scolding Mrs. Wei.

"Stop howling, you deserve it. You knew that the second brother was the one who protected Achan the most, yet you still dared to cause trouble for her. You are really sick!"

After scolding her eldest daughter-in-law, Old Lady Wei walked forward and banged on the door of the main room.

"Boss, are you dead in the house? Come out quickly and take care of your wife. You are already a grown-up, how could you be so useless! Your father and I are not bad people, so how could we give birth to a good-for-nothing like you..."

Brother Wei's face turned red.

He sat up suddenly, rushed out, grabbed his wife's wrist and pulled her back to the room.

Soon, crackling sounds were heard, and the couple started swearing at each other, and the swearing was very ugly.

Lin Zhao was not aware of these things for the time being.

Nearing three o'clock, she seemed to hear several familiar childish voices.

"My son is here." Lin Zhao looked towards the door.

next moment.

Two identical little faces appeared.

The two little brothers were wearing new clothes and new sandals. Their hair had grown out and was fluffy. Their little faces were pink and white, and their eyes were clear and bright. They looked smart and cute.

Two pairs of eyes quickly looked around the counter, and when they focused on Lin Zhao's figure, they suddenly became bright and ran in.

"Mom!" the eldest boy shouted happily.

When the child saw his mother working for the first time, he felt curious and proud, and his face flushed.

"Mom, are you getting off work soon?" Erzai leaned on the counter, stood on tiptoe, tilted his head back, his eyes full of anticipation and excitement.

Lin Zhao looked at the time on her wrist. There were still two minutes left.

"Right away."

"Where's your dad?"

The eldest cub answered his mother's question in a serious tone: "Dad is at the door, and the third and fourth cubs are all at the door too."
