Chapter 10: Differences Between Men and Women
This time, her eldest son suddenly got into trouble. She cried so hard that her heart was broken. She finally calmed down and took care of the funeral. She also sent a telegram to her youngest son, hoping that he would come back to see his eldest brother off.
However, she had just sent the telegram when she received a call from her leader Bai Naihan, saying that he was seriously injured during a mission and was now in a coma.
At that time, Liu Yuzhi only felt a buzzing pain in her head and thought that she had heard it wrong. It was not possible that God would be so cruel to take away her two children at once.
Fortunately, the youngest son was determined, or it might be the induction between brothers. He woke up that night.
Moreover, according to the youngest son himself, he had been injured for more than half a month and had not woken up. The people above thought that he was unlikely to survive.
She planned to wait until he died completely before notifying his family, otherwise she was afraid that his family would be destroyed after they had hope. It would be better to know the news of his sacrifice at the beginning.
Who knew that Liu Yuzhi sent a telegram at that time? When the leader saw the news of his brother's death, he felt sorry for Liu Yuzhi as a mother, so he had no choice but to tell her the news that Bai Naihan was injured and unconscious.
Fortunately, after Bai Naihan woke up that night, he quickly called Liu Yuzhi and told her that he was safe, so Liu Yuzhi did not collapse completely.
Also because Bai Naihan had been lying for more than half a month, his wounds had healed a little, and when he knew the news of his brother's death, the people above hurriedly sent him back.
Until now, Liu Yuzhi did not dare to ask her youngest son what to do in the future. He was so seriously injured that it was definitely impossible for him to go back to the army. Besides, the superiors had given him a retirement allowance and compensation.
Liu Yuzhi said this and held Yun Qinghuan's hand again, "Qinghuan, Mom knows that you will definitely find it difficult to recover for a while. Mom has also been through this stage of yours. Mom understands you. It is really hard to raise a child alone, but Mom will try her best to help you raise An'an together."
"Also, as your mom said, you are indeed still young. You shouldn't live like this for your whole life when you are so young. Mom has suffered this kind of hardship and doesn't want you to really not remarry for Wensong. You can try it when you meet the right one. You don't have to worry about An'an at that time. I will take good care of him."
"It's just that Mom is a little selfish. I want you to not consider remarrying for the next two years? Wait for two years before considering it? An'an is still young and just lost his father. If you remarry again, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it for a while. Moreover, Mom's words are unpleasant. I always feel that the person your in-laws found for you to remarry may not be suitable for you after you consider it again."
She said it tactfully, but she was already reminding Yun Qinghuan.
Yun Yong and Chen Pandi are money-grubbing couples. They probably chose the person for her to remarry based on who offered the highest betrothal gift, rather than focusing on the person's character.
To put it bluntly, if someone is willing to pay a high betrothal gift to marry a second-married woman, then the man must have some shortcomings.
Otherwise, with so much betrothal gift, he could have married a virgin girl, and he wouldn't have remained unmarried until now.
Yun Qinghuan was very moved after hearing this. She held Liu Yuzhi's hand and said, "Mom, I know you are doing this for my own good. Don't worry. I haven't considered remarrying. I only feel warm in this family. So, how can I bear to leave here? I won't listen to my parents. I know they will definitely sell me out for money."
"Mom, I will rely on you in the future. You won't think I'm troublesome and don't want me, right?"
Finally, in order to liven up the atmosphere, she looked at Liu Yuzhi coquettishly.
Sure enough, Liu Yuzhi's eyebrows relaxed slightly, the heavy look faded, and she said with a smile, "How could it be? As long as you are willing to stay in this home, this will always be your home. An An, Nai Han and I will always stand behind you."
The two were talking, Bai Nai Han and An An came in, and An An was still pushing the wheelchair behind the man.
Seeing that it was dark outside, Yun Qinghuan glanced at Bai Jinan and suddenly realized a very serious problem. She seemed to have to sleep with this little ball at night.
Seeing An An's dirty clothes, Yun Qinghuan suddenly said, "Mom, I'll go and boil some more hot water. It's not cold, I plan to give An An a bath."
By the way, wipe yourself and change clothes.
Just now, she touched her head and felt that her hair was oily and sticky.
Liu Yuzhi knew that her daughter-in-law was a clean person, so she said directly, "Okay, I'll go and boil water."
She also didn't let Yun Qinghuan touch the firewood or something like that.
The stove boiled water quickly, and a large pot of water was ready in just over ten minutes. Yun Qinghuan pulled An An to wash her hair first.
At that time, there was no shampoo or anything like that. They all used soap beans. Liu Yuzhi had just crushed the soap beans and put some plant ash in it to remove oil. They were all pure natural hair washes, which were better than some shampoos in later generations.
It was just that Yun Qinghuan was not used to using them.
She first washed the little guy's head, then wiped it dry with a towel, and got a basin of water in the main room to give him a bath. As a result, when Yun Qinghuan was about to take off the child's clothes, An An covered her clothes and refused to let her take them off.
"Mom, I can wash myself."
His little face was red, "They said I was a boy," he raised his head and looked at Yun Qinghuan, very seriously, "Mom, there is a difference between us!"
Seeing him like this, Yun Qinghuan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Who did you learn to say that from? I'm your mother, there is no difference between men and women between us, and besides, what part of your body haven't I seen?"
This sentence was a bit rude, and the little guy's face was very red. He grabbed the clothes tightly and refused to let go, "Mom!"
The voice was much louder.
Yun Qinghuan knew that he was embarrassed and annoyed, so he stopped teasing him, "You are right to distinguish between men and women. You must be careful outside, but An An, you are a little dirty, and you can't reach your back. What if you can't wash it clean?"
An An relaxed after hearing this, and raised his eyebrows in confusion, "What should I do then?"
He didn't want his mother to give him a bath.
"I'll ask your uncle to give you a bath. You can only sleep with your mother if you wash it clean today, okay?"
She just changed the sheets and quilt covers, and planned to dry the quilts tomorrow, and then wash the dirty quilt covers and sheets.
So now the bed is clean, and she won't allow this kid to dirty the bed again.
"Okay." An An nodded obediently.
Yun Qinghuan went out and saw that the candles in the west house were lit. Bai Naihan should not have slept yet, so she walked over and knocked on the door.
The movement inside stopped, and then a man's deep voice came, "Who?"
The voice was a little breathless.
Yun Qinghuan was surprised. What was he doing in the house?
"It's me."
"Sister-in-law?" There was a rustling sound, followed by the sound of a wheelchair rolling on the ground. As the sound approached, the door was opened from the inside with a "click".
