Chapter 416 March Yellow
Xiangqian, Zhibei, Ruidong, and Tingnan were all names Zheng Yueqiang had come up with, but he never expected that they would experience their own hardships at such a young age.
Zheng Yueqiang was heartbroken, but also somewhat proud. His Zheng family lineage had shown resilience and self-reliance in the face of adversity, with each member capable of standing on their own.
In particular, Song Tingnan not only stood up for herself and won glory for the country, but also did not forget to help her older brother and sister.
Such a good child, claiming to be speaking out for himself, but not mentioning a single word about his own experiences.
Everything she does is for her family, and she maintains a positive attitude even when faced with injustice, which truly puts her miles ahead of Suzuki Kaori, who is around the same age. No wonder she caught Han'er's eye and kept calling her "little sister."
On their second meeting, Zheng Yueqiang seemed even older, and Song Tingnan was not as aggressive as before.
There were only the two of them in the ward. "Is she doing well now?" Zheng Yueqiang asked softly.
"It's great!" It is indeed great. Song Xiuying has always been a good woman who is content with the status quo. Now she lives in an apartment building in the county town and stays at home comfortably taking care of her grandson.
"Does she still know how to make potato and perilla soup? She probably does!" Zheng Yueqiang muttered to himself. Song Tingnan didn't answer. Her grandmother had said that her mother's best dish was perilla and yellow pepper soup, and now her grandson loved this soup too.
"Ahem... Xiang Qian and Zhi Bei Du are a happy family, aren't they?"
"It's great!" The eldest brother and Xiangxiang have always loved each other dearly, and the mother-in-law is understanding and doesn't interfere in the young couple's affairs, so they naturally get along well.
My older sister, Zhibei, runs a thriving hotel business and has two daughters. I heard she's currently trying for a third child. The experience must be bittersweet, and outsiders can't really comment.
"Where are your brother Ruidong and your uncle's family?"
"Everything is fine, thank you for your concern." Song Tingnan couldn't help but mutter to herself—why didn't you ask so many questions earlier?
"Thank you for your hard work, child!" Zheng Yueqiang said, taking a key out from under his pillow. "Child, your uncle would like to trouble you one more time. This is the key to my safe in Ruixing. There is a confidential document inside. Please take it back to China and give it to the Premier."
Song Tingnan didn't reach out to take it. "Why me?"
Zheng Yueqiang looked at Song Tingnan and said, word by word, "Because you are Chinese and a descendant of our Zheng family."
"I only agree with the first part. Do you have the password?" Song Tingnan took the key. "Who else knows this?"
"There's no one else here. Remember to protect it and bring it back to China safely. The password is your mother's birthday."
Song Tingnan couldn't help but ask, "Will you go back?"
“I can’t go back now.” Zheng Yueqiang said dejectedly. “I’ve already let down one woman, and I can’t let down another one here.”
"Oh!"
"Tingnan, please help me apologize to your brother and sister. As for your mother... just pretend she's dead and don't disturb her life anymore."
Song Tingnan nodded; she thought so too. People who had disappeared for many years were simply 'dead'.
Not long after, Song Tingnan came out, and Suzuki Han hurriedly followed and insisted on driving her home.
Aren't you curious about what your father told me?
Suzuki Kan shrugged. "I'm not curious. Since Father doesn't want me to be there, it means I don't need to know what you're talking about."
"Aren't you or your mother worried that he will divide the property among my brother and sister?"
"I'm not worried, it's only right that we broke up."
Song Tingnan looked at Suzuki Han seriously; what he said was probably true.
Suzuki Kan said cautiously, "Don't stare at me. Do you...do you have photos of your older brother or sister? Can I see them?"
After a while, Song Tingnan said, "Wait a minute, come upstairs with me and bring him a family photo."
Suzuki Kan's thoughts were exposed, and he scratched his head sheepishly.
"My flight is tomorrow afternoon."
"So soon? Then let me take you there!"
"No need, I'm afraid if you come to see me off, I won't be able to leave."
"Uh... little sister, it's true, but don't just blurt out the truth, it hurts me to hear it." Suzuki Han exaggeratedly clutched her chest.
Are you busy today?
"No, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Take me to the market." Before returning to China, Song Tingnan decided to make Zheng Yueqiang a soup of perilla leaves and yellow plums, a simple soup, as a substitute for what her mother would make.
