Chapter 391
The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s
Commander Xiao arrived at the Beihe Train Station at midnight.
He had informed his nephew to come pick him up ahead of time.Xiao Yanghua and his son Xiao Weiguo both let out a sigh of relief when they saw Commander Xiao exiting the train.They were startled when they received the call from Commander Xiao informing them that he would be coming.They were even more worried when they learned that he was taking the train that would be arriving at midnight. They worried that something serious must have happened.Xiao Yanghua, âUncle, weâve borrowed a car from the unit and it is waiting outside right now. Letâs hurry on over.âCommander Xiao nodded, âThank you for coming.âXiao Yanghua, âItâs our duty. But, why are you here so urgently, Uncle. Did something happen in the troop?âCommander Xiao shook his head. âNo, I was here for personal matters.âXiao Yanghua and his son exchanged a look when they heard that.Commander Xiao, âI received a call a couple of days ago telling me that I have a son in Beihe. The purpose of my trip is to locate him.âBOOM!Xiao Yanghua and his son were stunned by his words.Commander Xiao had been singled his entire life. Where did this son of his come from?Commander Xiao did not look tired at all despite being on the train for the past 2 days. âItâs kind of a long story. I will fill you in some time. I will, however, need your help to look into something for me.âHe wanted to find his son, yes. But he was not an idiot either and he would not just believe in anything told to him by just anyone.When he visited the Tongâs back in the days, Menzhiâs sister-in-law definitely told him that she had re-married. How that turned into her getting pregnant out of the wedlock and died during childbirth?There was a lot that he needed to look into here!***Tong Jiaming woke up because he needed to go pee.He sat up and was perplexed by the white bedsheets.He finally recalled that he was in the hospital when he saw Tong Xuelu curled up in a chair, asleep.It was his Big Sister who brought him to the hospital in the biting cold and it was her who had been taking care of him by his side.And now, she was sleeping on a cold chair just to be frugal.Tong Jiamingâs eyes tingled when he thought about that.Tong Xuelu opened up her eyes when she heard stirring and happened to look into Tong Jiamingâs red bunny-like eyes. She was startled, âAre you feeling ill again? Let me go and get the doctor.âTong Jiaming quickly said, âIâm alright. I just want to use the bathroom.âHis eyes turned red from wanting to go to the bathroom?Tong Xuelu was baffled. âThen hurry up and go. Do you need help getting there?ââNo, I got this.â Tong Jiaming looked at her with his eyes beet red. âThank you, Big Sister!âHe would repay his Big Sister when he was grown up.Truth was, he had never truly accepted his big sister before today deep inside him. It was today when he finally realized how much she had done for this family.Tong Xuelu waved her hands. âDonât mention it. Just hurry up and go.âTong Jiaming nodded and walked out.Tong Xuelu stood up and stretched out her back and legs.It was uncomfortable to sleep on the chair but the sheets at the hospital didnât look very clean. She was germophobic and would rather sleep on the chair.Never mind. She should head to the bathroom as well. She wouldnât want her eyes to be red like Tong Jiamingâs from holding back her pee.Tong Jiamingâs fever was gone entirely by day light.Except that his body and face were covered in chicken pox. He even had folliculitis on his head. All in all, a handsome body was âruinedâ just like that.Looking at the chicken pox on him, they almost triggered her Trypophobia. âThe doctor said you can be discharged. But this is a highly contagious disease so you will need to quarantine yourself in your room after we have gone back. You particularly must avoid contact with Jiaxin and Mianmian.She would not be able to take care of them all should Tong Jiaxin and Tong Mianmian were to get sick as well.Besides, Tong Jiaxin and Tong Mianmian were not as mature as Tong Jiaming. They would for certain scratch and break their chickenpox and then they would both be pockmarked then.Tong Xuelu, âIn addition, you cannot scratch your chickenpox before you heal. If they break, you will scar and your face will be pockmarked.âTong Jiaming was already uncomfortably itchy by now but he nodded docilely anyway. âOkay. I wonât do that.âTong Xuelu went to take care of the bill, got some medications from the doctor, and brought Tong Jiaming home with her.
