Chapter 412 With Dad here, with A-Ye here

Li Shouzhi and Zhang Meifeng came to visit Xu Qinghuan, bringing a bunch of gifts: two old hens, four sets of clothes for the children (inner and outer), two red satin cloaks with gold-embroidered plum blossoms, of course, canned brown sugar and the like, and several lively crucian carp.

"I've been raising this old hen since last year, and I saved it especially for you. I've washed the child's clothes two or three times, rubbing them by hand over and over again. They're so soft, and they've been dried in the sun, so they're clean and ready to wear."

This cloak has been washed and dried. It was made a size larger than usual, so it can be worn until the child is two or three years old.

Zhang Meifeng looked at the children with great affection, holding one in each arm. "Your older brother wrote a letter not long ago, saying that he was introduced by the leader to a nurse in a military hospital. She is good-looking and has a good personality, but there is one thing: her family's class background is not very good."

Zhang Meifeng has three sons. Her eldest son is almost thirty and still unmarried, which is a source of great distress for her.

Xu Qinghuan asked, "What are its ingredients?"

Zhang Meifeng said, "When her parents returned from overseas in their early years, she came back with them. Later, her parents went to work on a farm, and she joined the army, thus escaping disaster. I'm worried that this will affect your older brother in the future."

But your uncle said that in the army, one's position is based on military merit, and your older brother still prefers it, so he told me not to interfere.

Xu Qinghuan said, "Do you still remember Old Ren, who treated Uncle Li and the others before?"

"I remember, didn't we already return to the city?" Zhang Meifeng asked, puzzled.

"Yes, the policy might change in the future. If the girl is really nice and you like her, I don't think her class background is an issue."

In truth, Zhang Meifeng had no choice; her son insisted on marrying no one but her, and she could only worry helplessly.

If you don't object, you're giving up your son's bright future to get involved with a capitalist's daughter; if you object, you're just watching your son remain a bachelor for life.

Hearing Xu Qinghuan say this, Zhang Meifeng felt much better, her heart still burning with grease.

Xu Qinghuan said, "If that's the case, then aren't I just like my older brother? I can go back to the city anytime, but I haven't. I even married Aye and we have a child. If I go back in the future, won't I have to abandon my husband and child?"
Don't worry, the situation changes every day, and who knows what will happen in the future.

Xu Qinghuan didn't pay much attention to how the situation outside was changing. Her greatest interest every day was watching her two little ones change every day. In just a few days, they were completely different from when they were first born.

Xu Qinghuan takes a photo of her two children every day as a keepsake.

She used a digital camera from the space, which had high resolution and large storage capacity. Sometimes, she would have Jiang Xingye hold the two children to take pictures, capturing all three of them together.

Jiang Xingye also learned to use it, taking pictures of her and her two children.

The full moon celebration was after May Day, right in the middle of spring plowing season. The Jiang family wanted to hold a big celebration, but Xu Qinghuan refused.

This year has been a turbulent one, and it's the last year of my life. I've managed to get through it, but things will get better later.

On the first day, Jian Jingchuan also returned, along with Li Shouzhi and his wife, carrying many bags of things. Jian Jingchuan even bought diapers at the Friendship Store.

"I didn't know this existed before. I heard about it from Xiao Zheng. I didn't even know how old the two kids were. The sales clerk helped me choose the size."

Xu Qinghuan tried it on the two little ones. Although it wasn't as good as the ones from later generations, it was better than diapers. "It's quite expensive, isn't it? You even need a coupon."

Jian Jingchuan laughed and said, "Your dad's salary is enough to buy diapers for the two little ones."

He held the two children in his arms, one on each side. Seeing that Xu Qinghuan seemed preoccupied, he asked, "What's wrong? Is there something you can't tell Dad?" In April, when he left, Xu Qinghuan seemed to have something to say.

"Dad, there's something I need to tell you that you might find unbelievable, but if I don't, I'm afraid it might actually come true."

“Then tell your dad if it’s true or not. Dad will judge for himself. Don’t keep it bottled up inside, or you’ll get sick,” Jian Jingchuan said.

It's been a month. If it has to be said, then so be it.

“Dad, I met a wise man before. He told me that in July of this year, around the end of the month, I don’t know the exact date, there will be a magnitude 7 to 8 earthquake in Qiaotun, and many people will die. Dad, I’m a little scared.”

In the end, she couldn't go against her conscience and disregard the lives of so many people for her own safety.

Jian Jingchuan placed the baby in the cradle and held his daughter in his arms. "Don't be afraid, Daddy's here. Don't worry about this, Daddy will take it to heart."

Xu Qinghuan didn't expect it to be so easy.

For the past month, she had been thinking it over and over. If she spoke up and it came true, people would definitely wonder how she knew, and she would be exposed to public scrutiny. But if she didn't speak up, she would feel guilty.

In the end, she couldn't help but say it.

"Will this affect you?" Xu Qinghuan couldn't help but worry. If he did his homework in advance, would anyone ask him how he knew?
Jian Jingchuan said, "The country has an earthquake bureau that monitors the situation every day. The place you mentioned might be on an earthquake zone. When I was in Japan, natural disasters frequently occurred there. I might have accumulated a lot of experience in this area."

She was prepared to be scrutinized and doubted, but her father's boundless love embraced her, and she leaned against him, letting out a long sigh of relief.

that's nice!

Xu Qinghuan realized that this was the love from her parents—unconditional love and tolerance, watching their child struggle under their wings with joy.

In July, the two children were able to lift their heads and roll around on the kang (a heated brick bed). Then, news came over the loudspeaker that an old man had passed away.

Xu Qinghuan was trapped in a nightmare. She saw many people dead, and wide cracks appeared in the ground. She was suspended in the sky and seemed to see monsters emerging from the ground, opening their black mouths and devouring innocent lives.

They screamed in terror and desperately tried to crawl out, but they could not escape the pursuit of the demon. An invisible force swept everything away and pushed them into hell.

Suddenly, a pair of terrifying eyes saw her and grinned menacingly. Xu Qinghuan tried to escape, but she couldn't move. As those bloodshot eyes loomed over her, she screamed in terror, "No, no, don't come any closer, don't!"

"Huanhuan, Huanhuan, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!"

A strong arm pulled her down, away from those menacing eyes. She breathed a sigh of relief. A familiar voice came from the horizon, growing closer and closer until it was right next to her ear. She was enveloped in a warm embrace, her fear dispelled, and a sense of security enveloped her.

When Xu Qinghuan woke up, she met Jiang Xingye's worried eyes. Still shaken, she cried out, "Aye, I had a nightmare!"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll hold you while you sleep!"

He didn't ask Xu Qinghuan what nightmare she had, but held her tightly in his arms. "Don't be afraid, I'm here, nothing will happen."

Xu Qinghuan said quietly, "I don't know if it's true, but I remember that a natural disaster will strike at the end of July this year."
