Chapter 10: The Child's Father is a Soldier

| Steamed Buns [😋🤤] |
—
Aunt Liu arrived at Shi's house after finishing her work. Upon arriving, she saw that the two children had already eaten and slept, while Shi Xiaoai was busy with the stove.
"Did the children already sleep? Oh, they should have eaten something first. I have steamed vegetarian buns at home. Although they don't have meat, they have a lot of dried shrimp and taste delicious," Aunt Liu said as she pulled out an aluminum lunch box from her bag. Inside were six large steamed buns.
"No, Aunt Liu, you don't have to be so polite. We've already eaten," Shi Xiaoai quickly declined.
She now understands the world better and knows that there is not enough food for everyone. Even whole grain pancakes are considered precious. If she accepts this lunch box, someone in Aunt Liu's family may go hungry today!
Shi Xiaoai closed the lunch box and pushed it over, explaining, "I found a handful of noodles in the cupboard today, and we already ate them. Aunt Liu, please take the buns."
She closed the lunch box and pushed it over, explaining: “I found a handful of noodles in the cupboard today, and we ate them. Aunt Liu, return the buns; don’t starve because of us.”
“Why are we going hungry? There are many steam buns at home, so there is no shortage.”
Aunt Liu glared at Shi Xiaoai: “Don’t be so polite to me. Don’t I know what’s happening in this family better than you? There are still noodles. I guess there won’t even be a grain of rice left!”
Your uncle and his family came here to clean it up before. If some of our old neighbors had not found their factory director, he would have emptied the whole house!
Xiao Ai, although you moved out long ago and can’t remember what happened when you were a child, our two families have been neighbors for decades and have a perfect relationship. You don’t have to be polite to me. I can’t help you much, but I can afford the food and drink...”
Hearing Aunt Liu mention her second uncle, Shi Xiaoai tried to recall it and remembered that person should be the father of the heroine of this book.
There needs to be more description of this family in the book. They are very patriarchal and treat the heroine very severely. The father is also a street gangster who is stingy with money.
But because the heroine quickly took care of the family after her success in starting a business, they aren’t mentioned again later.
In the book, there is no such thing as the original owner returning to the city, so this second uncle has no intersection with the original owner.
Now, because of her time travel, the entire storyline will change.
Shi Xiaoai originally wanted to ask a few more questions about this second uncle, but before she could say anything, she saw Aunt Liu’s expression of hesitation.
She could only ask aloud: “Aunt Liu, do you have anything to say?”
“It’s nothing. I want to ask this: you three are back; where is the baby’s father? Why didn’t he come back with you?” Aunt Liu finally said what she had been thinking about for a long time.
Shi Xiaoai had thought that someone would ask this question before, so she was not surprised when she heard it.
It might be difficult for the original owner to answer this question; she didn’t know where the man had gone.
But Shi Xiaoai is someone who has read the outline of the story. He knows that Cheng Yang will return to the village soon, so finding this place should take a little time.
Although she didn’t have a good impression of this person and would not be able to continue living with him, the identity of a military family member still sounded more calming than a widow raising two children.
It’s not that she overthinks; it’s just that she has just arrived in a new environment and needs to be careful about everything.

| Soldier |
She said frankly: “The child’s father is a soldier. He is currently in the army and cannot return for now.”
“A soldier? What army are you in? Have you been on the front line?” When she heard that the man Shi Xiaoai married was a soldier, Aunt Liu immediately became energetic and asked repeatedly.
The country was at war, and propaganda to support the army was in full swing.
When she heard that Shi Xiaoai’s husband was a soldier and that she and her children were military family members, Aunt Liu’s eyes suddenly shone with admiration.
At the same time, she quickly got into work mode.
We must know that taking good care of the military family members and resolving their worries are their top priorities this year.
What Shi Xiaoai read was the story’s synopsis, not the original book. The synopsis only said, “Cheng Yang came back from the army.” She had no idea where this man came back from, let alone what he did in the army.
She didn’t want to make up for any random reasons. After all, it was well known that Cheng Yang never looked back after joining the army and left the three in the countryside for many years. As long as you are willing to investigate, you will be able to find it, and there is no point in covering it up.
She could only lower her eyes and gently shake her head: “I don’t know where he is.”
“You don’t know?!” Aunt Liu was shocked.
She asked with concern: “What’s going on, Xiao Ai, please tell Auntie.”
“Aunt Liu, I didn’t mean to lie to you...”
Shi Xiaoai picked up what had happened in the past few years and told Aunt Liu what was required.
Because she knew that Cheng Yang would get her back, she just narrated it calmly to maintain the image of her children’s father in front of outsiders.
Not only was it not embellished, but many places were conveyed in an understatement.
But looking at her pale and haggard little face, how could Aunt Liu, who had been there, not understand how difficult it is for a young woman to raise two children to grow up?
Her tears suddenly flowed out.
She grabbed Shi Xiaoai’s cold hand and covered it in hers. After a long time, she sighed: “I didn’t expect your life to be so difficult these years!”
As she spoke, even her voice became choked up.
Shi Xiao Ai suddenly felt embarrassed when she accidentally made others feel sad.
She quickly raised her eyes, smiled, and explained: “Auntie, I’m fine. Don’t feel bad. Look, aren’t we all fine now?”
Her smile was clear and clean, and there was no trace of pain or grievance in her eyes.
But the more this happened, the more painful Aunt Liu felt.
Fortunately, Aunt Liu has been doing mass work for many years and is well-informed.
After careful consideration, she thought about it for a while, then said, “Xiao Ai, don’t feel too bad. This may not be what you think; maybe your family can’t do anything about it.
Speaking of which, we have heard of some situations similar to his in the past two years. All of a sudden, I lost contact with the man. I had no contact with him for several years, and I couldn’t even tell whether he was dead or alive. Only later did I find out that he was on the battlefield.
Everything on the battlefield is confidential, and no one will notify you in advance, so your man may also have difficulties. “
The more Aunt Liu talked, the more she felt that what she said was reasonable, and she became excited.
She patted Shi Xiaoai’s hand and said excitedly: “It must be like this; it can’t be wrong again! Oh, Xiaoai, I will report this to the director this afternoon. Don’t worry; as long as your man is in the army, he will. There must be a way to find someone to reunite your family!”
Affected by Aunt Liu’s mood, Shi Xiaoai felt that Cheng Yang should go to the front line.
Only in this way can we explain why he disappeared inexplicably and why he later made a memorable trip back to the village to look for someone.
At this time, Aunt Liu continued: “Now the government has special care for military family members, especially those who go to the battlefield. Xiao Ai, please write me a situation statement in detail. I will try to find a way to apply for benefits for you as soon as possible. Come on!”
?
When Shi Xiaoai heard this, she quickly raised her head with a look of shock.
Write a situation statement.
Also, write something specific.
She could read the story’s synopsis in just one sentence and write a hammer to prove it!
If you write it in more detail, she can’t even make it up right now.
