Wang Chunlian was extremely uneasy at this time.

She knew that her son was very independent-minded and dared to study in America at such a young age.

Her son's determination can be seen from the fact that he would accept any beating and punishment in front of her and would never send Zeng Moyi, who was about to give birth, back to Chongqing. This time when she "forced" Lao Dai to send her to Shanghai to be a nanny for his daughter-in-law, Lao Dai said that Anping would not agree to this.

Facing her timid son at this time, Wang Chunlian was afraid that her son would forcefully send her back to Chongqing.

When she was in Chongqing, she said more than once:
"Anping, I am a woman and I don't know about military and national affairs, but I am a mother. Your wife is pregnant with your child, and as an elder, I should be by her side."

"You little brat, do you know that a woman's most vulnerable period is when she's pregnant? Do you know what it feels like for a woman to have no one she can trust by her side after giving birth?"

"Ignorant wolf, I don't care if you men worry about your national affairs, but I am a woman. When I gave birth to you in Shanghai, I had no one by my side. When you were sick, your father was at work. As a woman, do you know how desperate I was when I cried out to the heavens and the earth but no one responded?"

"I don't care. Either you send Mo Yi to Chongqing, or I go to Shanghai to serve my daughter-in-law!"

But Zhang Anping turned a deaf ear to his mother's every request. When forced into a corner, he would hide away and not go home. Eventually, he was kicked out of the house by his angry old mother during the Chinese New Year - he never agreed to his mother's request until he left home.

Being a mother actually means understanding your son.

When they built a cenotaph for their "dead" son, the mother gained a deep understanding of her son.

But she was really worried about her daughter-in-law and didn't want her to feel the helplessness and despair she felt in Shanghai, so she persuaded her cousin to come to her daughter-in-law as a servant after receiving training.

She knew that she was being willful, but she had also made enough compensation for her willfulness - how could a mother, who once thought that her only son had died on the battlefield and had fainted several times in front of his portrait, not know the danger of her son's situation?
In fact, she was thinking more about taking good care of her daughter-in-law so that her beloved son, who was burdened with heavy responsibilities, would have to worry less. She knew that her son was not as heartless and cold as he appeared to be, and that he was also concerned about his wife who was so close to him but whom he could not see. As a mother, she felt that she should do something.

As a hacker, Zhang Anping has seen many plots in later life from a God's perspective, where people lost sight of the big picture and things collapsed due to negligence, so he requires himself not to make any low-level mistakes.

This is also the reason why he did not let Zeng Moyi return to Chongqing, and this is also the reason why he pretended to be deaf and dumb in front of his mother.

But at this moment, when his mother said in a servant's tone, "Sir, you're back," the deeply hidden weakness in his heart was touched involuntarily.

He couldn't help but whispered, "Mom."

Wang Chunlian subconsciously took a step back, anger flashing in her expectant eyes, but then she regained her respect for her master:

"Sir, please look after the child first. I will wash the diaper for the child."

After saying that, she turned around hurriedly, ran to the bathroom with a sense of panic and continued her work.

After washing the already clean diaper again, Wang Chunlian came out of the bathroom with her head down. She glanced at her son who was holding Xiao Xixi and was reluctant to put her down, then quickly walked into the suite leading to the balcony.

Zhu Yizhen was sitting restlessly in the house at this time. When she saw Wang Chunlian come in, she couldn't help but step forward to ask about the situation. As a [Military Control Commission Agent] from the Qingpu Class, her fear and vigilance towards Zhang Anping were engraved in her bones.

But Wang Chunlian spoke before her: "Ms. Zhu, you are his student, can you talk to him and let me stay here?"

Zhu Yizhen smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

Auntie, I’m afraid you don’t know the meaning of these three words: Zhang Shihao!

"Mother Wang, I, I..."

Wang Chunlian read the helplessness of this young lady who came from a wealthy family but devoted herself to the anti-Japanese cause from the slightly fearful look on Zhu Yizhen's face. She couldn't help but sigh:

"How can this bastard be so...heartless?"

Zhu Yizhen glanced through the crack in the door at the teacher who was holding little Xixi and was reluctant to let her go, but did not agree with "Auntie Wang"'s words.

It is true that he was a big spy, but he...really went all out in his fight against the Japanese.

……

At this time, Zhang Anping was holding the little life in his arms, and his eyes were filled with the little life's babbling.

"Xiao Xixi, I'm your daddy!"

"Little Xixi, do you miss daddy? Daddy, I miss you so much! Our little Xixi, our little Xixi..."

His ardent love was fully revealed at this moment. Holding the little life in his arms, he felt a kind of passionate passion that was as if he was willing to pluck even the stars in the sky for you.

It was not until the sound of a key turning at the door did Zhang Anping suddenly wake up. Feeling the familiar breath outside the door, he showed a touch of warmth.

The door opened, and a familiar beauty came into Zhang Anping's sight.

He chuckled.

She looked at him holding the child. The scene she had been thinking about for countless days and nights appeared before her eyes at this moment, and there seemed to be a light flashing in her eyes.

"Yeah yeah yeah"

The child made unconscious sounds in Zhang Anping's arms, as if he was trying to compete with his mother for his father's love. Zhang Anping lowered his head and began to shake his body gently: "Xiao Xixi, do you miss your mother?"

A smile as bright as spring breeze surged on Zeng Moyi's face. She closed the door lightly. She wanted to go forward and hug her husband gently, and greedily sniff the scent of his body. But maybe because she was seen by Xiao Xixi when she got close, Xiao Xixi, who was babbling in her husband's arms, suddenly burst into tears at the top of her voice.

"You little brat, are you so disrespectful to your father?"

Zhang Anping "blamed" the child with a smile, but in the face of the child's crying, he had no choice but to hand the child over to his wife.

Zeng Moyi took the child and coaxed him: "Little baby, mommy is here, let mommy hug you."

Little Xixi started babbling again in the gentle voice of her mother. Zhang Anping, who was jealous, had a sour look on his face, which made Zeng Moyi, who was used to seeing her husband strategizing, couldn't help laughing.

【My husband is so cute! 】

……

Wang Chunlian made dinner. Zhu Yizhen wanted to help, but "Auntie Wang" refused to allow her to do so. Zhu Yizhen had to find some work to do, but Zeng Moyi stopped her with a helpless smile. So she could only hide in the suite and act like a "young lady".

Listening to Zhang Anping boasting outside that he had coaxed little Xixi to sleep, Zhu Yizhen suddenly thought of her husband who was far away in the holy land. She gently stroked her belly, imagining Lin Nansheng holding the child and gently coaxing him/her.

For a moment, I didn't even feel stupid.

The dinner was so sumptuous that it was a bit wasteful, but Wang Chunlian refused to sit at the same table no matter what, and she argued that she was just a servant, so how could she sit at the same table with the master?

Zhang Anping had no choice but to act like a rogue and bring his mother's food to the dining table over and over again.

He actually knew that his mother was just waiting for his consent, but this "ungrateful man" just wouldn't say it, and finally Wang Chunlian was really annoyed. "Mother Wang" finally became Wang Chunlian, and she grabbed Zhang Anping's ears in frustration. When she was about to curse him as an "ungrateful man", Zhang Anping hugged his mother.

"Mom, I'm sorry for putting you through this."

Wang Chunlian, who was about to lose her temper, couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.

Zhang Anping smiled and wiped away his mother's tears. When his mother said aggrievedly, "I, I will go back in a few days," he said softly:

"You keep it. I'm relieved to have you take care of Mo Yi and Xiao Xixi."

"You stinky boy, you stinky boy, you stinky boy, why didn't you say it earlier!"

Wang Chunlian, feeling ashamed, quietly wiped away her tears and complained about her beloved son in a bad mood, but she couldn't help but smile.

In fact, the main reason why Zhang Anping agreed was because of Zeng Moyi - after living with her mother-in-law for so long, she could feel how good her mother-in-law was to her, and she could also feel her mother-in-law's efforts not to drag down her son and daughter-in-law.

It is said that the most difficult relationship to handle is the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the mother-in-law here diligently plays the role of "Wang Ma". The careful maintenance and dedication moved Zeng Moyi.

That’s why she said, “Let the mother-in-law stay.”

Wang Chunlian, who had put her worries aside, sat happily at the dinner table with her son, daughter-in-law and Wang Chunlian. Feeling this long-lost atmosphere, a happy smile appeared on her face.

If Guanfu were here, that would be... even better.

After the meal, the atmosphere in the room became solemn.

Zhu Yizhen rushed to wash the dishes, but Wang Chunlian gently pulled her back to the suite. After pressing her shoulders to make Zhu Yizhen sit down, she rushed to the kitchen and started working enthusiastically.

Zhang Anping held little Xixi in his arms reluctantly and murmured:
"Little Xixi, grow up quickly."

Little Xixi will experience China's darkest years firsthand, but will also witness the surrender of the Japanese invaders with her own eyes during her memory, and will experience the Nationalist government's crazy money-making after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan. She will also experience the historical moment when the new China stood up in that voice full of dialect flavor.

Countless people have sacrificed their lives and shed their blood, countless people have overcome difficulties, isn't it just for more little ones like Xiao Xixi to be able to be picky in a peaceful country in an unpeaceful era?
Even though Zhang Anping was extremely reluctant, he still controlled himself rationally and handed the sleeping child to Zeng Moyi.

Zeng Moyi looked at her husband infatuatedly.

"I am leaving."

The former girl, now mother, nodded gently.

Zhang Anping smiled gently, then turned around resolutely, climbed through the window and left this warm little nest.

Zeng Moyi looked at the window where her husband disappeared and couldn't help but hug the child in her arms tightly.

Little Xixi opened her eyes and babbled, but without waiting for the man's gentle comfort, she burst into tears at the top of her lungs.

Wang Chunlian came out of the kitchen and looked at her daughter-in-law coaxing the child. Her body stiffened, then she slowly turned around and followed her daughter-in-law back to the kitchen, continuing to work in a daze.

In the alley, Zhang Anping listened to the crying of a child coming from home. He did not look back, nor did he dare to look back. He hurried forward, and his steps gradually became firmer.

The future is still far away. (End of this chapter)
