Chapter Eighteen I Am Your Wife: Farewell(1/2)

After Long Zhan joined the army, Xiao Xiao took Long Zhan's parents to Haicheng and took care of the two old people for three years.

In many places, there is a concept of favoring sons over daughters. Most of them believe that after they give birth to a daughter, they will marry and become a woman. However, the married daughter throws water out of the water and occasionally returns to her parents' home to visit relatives. However, this is not the case when giving birth to a son. The son can continue the family lineage, and the son can stay by his side and raise children to provide for his old age.

But now, no matter whether they are sons or daughters, there are only a few people who stay with their parents, and almost none. The better ones will accompany their parents during the New Year and the holidays, but the bad ones will often not go home for half a year or a year. Sometimes, the children have settled in other places and have not visited their parents for several years. The parents have become left-behind elderly people. What's worse, the unfilial children are disobedient and unfilial, chewing on the old, sucking up the blood and sweat of their parents for their own life or enjoyment. The bottom line is Who can explain the reason clearly? Even if it is explained clearly, who can solve this social problem?

And someone like Xiao Xiao, who takes care of her boyfriend's parents as a girlfriend for several years without any regrets, is simply rare. Compared to many biological children, they are no less generous to their parents.

Although Xiao Xiao's parents also liked Long Zhan very much, Xiao Xiao's actions also encountered strong opposition, but they could not overcome their daughter's insistence on doing so, and they no longer objected. They were also quite pleased with their daughter's kindness.

Long Zhan's parents were even more opposed. They were all honest rural people. How could they be favored by Xiao Xiao for no reason? How could they be willing to let Xiao Xiao take care of them? They didn't want to drag down Xiao Xiao's life, but when they saw Xiao Xiao put them As if she were her biological parents, she was filial, so she agreed to stay in Haicheng for a few days, but after arriving in Haicheng, she could never go back. Now Xiao Xiao is like the biological daughter of Long Zhan's parents, and Long Dou also treats Xiao Xiao As a biological sister, Xiao Xiao's biological parents are a bit like lonely old people, so it is inevitable that she will have a lot of jealousy.

When two families become one family, living in harmony and loving each other, wouldn't they envy others?

After Long Zhan returned from his career change, he immediately proposed to Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao burst into tears at the time.

Today, Long Zhan left home early and drove to pick up Xiao Xiao and his parents. Currently, his parents still live with Xiao Xiao. He plans to hold an engagement party today and go get a marriage certificate with Xiao Xiao tomorrow.

Long Zhan successfully received his girlfriend and parents. Just when he was about to start the car and set off, Long Zhan saw a WeChat message. The content of the message was that the captain of the traffic police team had invited two people, and these two people were Long Zhan's best. Brothers, we asked for leave today to attend Long Zhan's engagement party. Later, the captain sent another message, saying that he had an urgent mission and returned to the team quickly.

Long Zhan frowned, wondering why the captain didn't let him return to the team. Then he thought that maybe the captain thought he had a hard day's rest and it was an engagement party, so he didn't let him return to the team.

Xiao Xiao saw Long Zhan looking at his phone and asked, "Long Zhan, what's wrong?"

"The team has an urgent mission!"

"Go!" Xiao Xiao knew Long Zhan's personality and it was impossible for him to attend the engagement banquet with peace of mind when there was an urgent mission.

"Then you take a taxi and take your parents there first. I'll try to get to the hotel before six o'clock in the evening!"

"Okay!" Xiao Xiao didn't say anything more and got out of the car with Long Zhan's parents. Although she was a little unhappy, she didn't show it or say anything.

After Xiao Xiao got out of the car with his parents, Long Zhan started the car and dialed the captain's phone number on the way. It took a long time for the captain to answer the phone. Long Zhan quickly asked: "Captain! What happened? Is there any urgent task?"

"Don't worry about it yet! I'm busy! Hang up!" The captain seemed to be in a hurry and had no time to speak.

"Captain, I apply to join the team!"

"Okay! Where are you?"

Long Zhan told the captain the location, and the captain said without thinking on the phone: "Go to the intersection 800 meters ahead to maintain traffic order. When the traffic clears, rush to another intersection and continue to maintain traffic order!"

"yes!"

Even if the captain didn't give instructions, Long Zhan had already planned to get out of the car because the car could no longer move and encountered a traffic jam. Ordinarily, Long Zhan's location was still some distance from the city center and there shouldn't be traffic jams.

Long Zhan parked his car on the side of the road and ran to the intersection ahead. At this time, the intersection had become a mess. Long Zhan immediately revealed his identity and began to maintain order.

On the other side, Xiao Xiao originally planned to send Long Zhan's parents there first, and then pick up his own parents, but after waiting for half an hour, there was no taxi, and the cars on the road had stopped, so he had no choice but to pick up Long Zhan's parents first.

Return to the rental house, then call your parents and ask them to take a taxi to the hotel.

Xiao Xiao stayed with Long Zhan's parents for a while. Seeing that the time was close to ten in the morning, he went down to take a taxi, but still couldn't get a taxi. He only waited for a text message from the municipal party committee and government. His first reaction after seeing the text message was

I went to respond to the government's call, but firstly, it was far away from the nearby hospital, and secondly, I was worried about Long Zhan's parents, so I had no choice but to give up. Thinking again, Long Zhan would be busy for a long time if such a thing happened, so he called the hotel himself

Assisted in setting up the engagement banquet venue.

It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that Xiao Xiao successfully got into a taxi and drove Long Zhan's parents to the hotel. When they arrived, Xiao Xiao's parents were also waiting because her parents lived closer to the hotel.

When Xiao Xiao's parents saw Xiao Xiao bringing Long Zhan's parents to the hotel, they stepped forward and asked, "Why didn't you arrive until now?"

“There’s been a traffic jam!”

"Where's Long Zhan? Why aren't you with me?"

"He hasn't come back from his mission!"

"Really! What kind of tasks are there for today's engagement? When can we come over!" Xiao Xiao's parents were anxious. It was almost five o'clock. The invited relatives and friends had already arrived one after another, but the groom-to-be had not yet arrived.

"I'll call and ask!" Xiao Xiao responded to her parents. She had made many calls in the afternoon, but Long Zhan never answered the phone. She comforted herself that Long Zhan was busy and had no time to answer the phone.

Xiao Xiao called this time, but the call could only be dialed but no one answered.

On the other end of the phone, Long Zhan's comrades were holding Long Zhan's mobile phone and looking at the caller displayed on the phone. He didn't know what to do. No one was willing to answer the call for Long Zhan because they didn't know how to talk to Xiao.

Xiao explained.

Since seven o'clock in the morning, everyone in the traffic police team has been working intensively. They are either maintaining chaotic traffic order, assisting in rescuing the injured, or doing other tasks. While working, they are unable to take care of it and it is too late.

They were sad, and they were not allowed to be sad at the scene, but once they stopped, sadness enveloped everyone's heart. Because their colleague and their comrade, a young traffic policeman who was about to get engaged to his girlfriend, unfortunately died in the work today.

He should not have died young, but his sense of responsibility made him give up his vacation and return to work, which led to the tragedy.

Xiao Xiao did not get through the phone call and returned to her parents. Just when she wanted to tell her parents and reassure them that Long Zhan was a person with a strong sense of time and would definitely arrive on time, she suddenly felt sick and hurriedly

Ran to the bathroom.

"Xiao Xiao! Xiao Xiao! Where are you? What's wrong with you?" Long Zhan's mother asked worriedly. Because she couldn't see, she didn't know why Xiao Xiao suddenly vomited.

"My old sister! You are also a mother, how could you not know why Xiao Xiao is disgusting?" Xiao Xiao's mother smiled happily.

"You mean Xiao Xiao is pregnant?" Xiao Xiao's father also smiled.

"Nine times out of ten, yes!" Mrs. Xiao nodded and replied.

"Old Longtou! Did you hear that? You are going to be a grandfather!" Father Xiao hugged Long Zhan's father like a young man. Although Long Zhan's father could not speak, he still nodded desperately, his mouth open, silently

Laughing.

"Great! Great!" Long Zhan's mother hugged Xiao's mother excitedly.

The four old people were as happy as children.

"Mom and Dad! Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao, what are you talking about? You are chatting so happily." Long Dou also took leave from school to attend the engagement party of his brother and sister-in-law. When he arrived at the hotel, he saw several old people chatting happily about something.

.

"Xiao Dou! You are here too, come here quickly! Uncle Xiao has a good news for you!" Father Xiao saw that Long Dou had also come, so he pulled him to his side and started to talk about it.

"What good news?"

"you guess!"

"Old man! Stop showing off! Xiao Dou, you are going to be an uncle!" Mother Xiao also pulled Long Dou to her side.

Long Dou would bring gifts to visit Xiao Xiao's parents every holiday. In the eyes of Xiao Xiao's parents, Long Dou was full of advantages. He was handsome, educated and sensible. Long Dou was particularly liked by the two old people, so they

The old people all regard Long Dou as their little son. The two old people once joked: "It would have been better to have given Xiao Xiao a sister. In this case, she could have been married to Xiao Dou!"

"Really? Aunt Xiao? Are you saying that my sister is pregnant?" Long Dou was also very happy. He suddenly stood in front of Xiao's mother and put his hands on Xiao's shoulders.

"Really! Really! You kid! You scared me!"

"Hahahahaha... I'm going to be an uncle! I'm going to be an uncle!" Long Dou jumped around the four old people like a child.

"Where is my brother and my sister?" Long Dou jumped around twice. He may have seen his relatives and friends arriving one after another. He felt a little embarrassed, so he stopped, and then he remembered that he hadn't seen his brother and sister-in-law yet.

"Your brother hasn't arrived yet, and your sister has gone to the bathroom!" Xiao's mother said.

"Oh! What happened to my brother? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Long Dou heard Xiao's mother saying that his brother hadn't arrived yet, and subconsciously looked around, but at this moment, he saw Xiao Xiao walking in

In the lobby, he was on the phone. Suddenly, Xiao Xiao stopped where he was, his phone fell to the ground with a clatter, and his body fell to the ground.

"Sister! What's wrong with you?" Long Dou quickly ran over and helped Xiao Xiao up.

"Xiao Dou! Sister, it's okay! My foot slipped!" Xiao Xiao pretended to be nonchalant and continued: "Xiao Dou! Your brother's mission has not been completed yet, and he can't come to the engagement party. You can take your parents back to rest first!

I’ll greet my relatives and friends and then go back!”

"What happened to my brother! I'm going to find him!" Long Dou was so angry when he heard that his brother didn't even come to the engagement party and was still performing some mission.

"Xiao Dou! Be obedient! Take your parents back first!" Xiao Xiao held back her heartache and held Long Dou back.

"I want to ask him whether the mission is more important or you!" Long Dou gritted his teeth in anger.

"Xiao Dou!" Xiao Xiao couldn't bear it anymore, tears streaming down her face.

"Sister! What's wrong with you? Did my brother bully you? I'm going to settle the score with him!"

"What are you two siblings doing?" Xiao's mother, who was greeting her relatives and friends warmly, saw Long Dou and Xiao Xiao talking about something at the edge of the hall. Something didn't seem right, so she came over.

"Mom..." When Xiao Xiao saw her mother walking over, she could no longer hold back the pain in her heart and cried loudly while hugging her mother.

Seeing Xiao Xiao hugging Xiao's mother and crying bitterly, the guests gathered around and didn't understand why Xiao Xiao was crying. Some came closer and asked with concern, while some speculated on the side that Long Zhan's mother could not see her because she could not see her.

He raised his hand and followed the voice and walked towards Xiao Xiao: "Child! What's wrong with you?"

"Mom! I'm fine!" Xiao Xiao had to cheer up again, wiped away her tears, grabbed Long Zhan's mother's hands, and said tremblingly.

Xiao Xiao's call "Mom" made Long Zhan's mother's heart tremble. This was the first time Xiao Xiao called his mother. He used to call him "aunt". What happened today? By the way, Xiao Xiao is getting engaged to Long Zhan today.

Now, it’s understandable that you call me mom when you’re engaged.

"Mom! You and Dad should go back first! Long Zhan's mission is not over yet. He can't come. I'll greet the guests and then go back!" Long Zhan's mother didn't expect that Xiao Xiao actually said that her son couldn't come. It seems that he cried just now because he was

Dragon fighting spirit.

"Son! Don't be angry! I'll teach him a lesson later!" Long Zhan's mother comforted Xiao Xiao. Long Zhan's father also stamped his feet in anger.

"Mom! It's okay! Xiao Dou, please take your parents back first!" Xiao Xiao cried again when she heard Long Zhan's mother's words.

"Son! You have been wronged by marrying Long Zhan!" Long Zhan's mother didn't know how to comfort her future daughter-in-law at this time.

"Mom and Dad! Let me take you back first!" Long Dou saw Xiao Xiao repeatedly asking him to take his parents back. Although he didn't understand why, he felt an ominous feeling in his heart when he saw Xiao Xiao holding back tears.
