Chapter 1745: From Now On, I Have You

A home that was once fine fell apart in less than a year: his elder brother sacrificed his life, his mother could not bear the blow, fell ill immediately, and passed away in haste.

Finally, his father lost his life at the reservoir construction site while saving collective property, becoming a martyr as well; the whole family was left with only Jiang Xiaofang, an orphan girl.

Regarding Jiang Xiaofang's decision to follow the army, he put in considerable effort; the reason for making this trip was to lend her support.

This girl has suffered far too much.

Fu Yan Cheng deliberately raised his voice while speaking; naturally, Jiang Xiaofang heard these words and hurried out to welcome them: "Regiment Commander Fu, this must be Sister-in-law and the little nephew and niece, please come inside quickly."

Liu Chuxue smiled and nodded at her.

The triplets, without Liu Chuxue needing to say anything, stepped forward together to greet her: "Hello, Auntie."

They were quite familiar with Ma Wuliang and always called him Uncle, so calling Jiang Xiaofang Auntie was correct.

Seeing the three children, Jiang Xiaofang's eyes instantly lit up: "Are you the triplets Brother Wuliang often mentions?"

Fu Bao looked at Ma Wuliang, the meaning clear enough: You mentioned us often?

Ma Wuliang smiled and replied: "Yes, it is them; aren't they beautiful?"

Kang Bao, who was usually not fond of speaking, opened his mouth: "They are handsome, not beautiful; only the little sister is beautiful."

Liu Chuxue could not hold back and laughed directly: "I said so many things, yet you did not remember the others, but you remembered this one."

Jiang Xiaofang loved children very much and had never seen triplets before; since she was hosting a banquet the next day, she had prepared candies at home. She turned, opened the cabinet, grabbed a handful, and distributed them to the three little ones: "Come, have some candy."

Jiang Xiaofang was straightforward in character and spoke generously; after exchanging pleasantries for a while, they did not stay long, agreed to arrive early the next day, and then took their leave.

Jiang Xiaofang was not crushed by the sudden family tragedy; instead, she faced life more actively, a trait Liu Chuxue greatly admired: "Xiaofang, I will be staying in the dependents' compound for some time; if you have nothing to do, come find me to play."

Jiang Xiaofang readily agreed: "Understood, Sister-in-law; I will inevitably come over to bother you in the future."

The couple saw them off downstairs, and Ma Wuliang smiled and said: "Regiment Commander Fu, Sister-in-law, please come over a bit earlier tomorrow evening."

Fu Yan Cheng nodded and agreed: "Tomorrow, as Xiaofang's natal family, we must certainly arrive early."

Jiang Xiaofang had thought Regiment Commander Fu was just speaking casually, but did not expect him to say so again when they were leaving; her eyes instantly reddened: "Thank you, Regiment Commander Fu, thank you, Sister-in-law."

Liu Chuxue patted her shoulder: "Company Commander Ma is a responsible man; your small life together will surely be prosperous and thriving."

Watching them leave, Jiang Xiaofang choked slightly and said: "I never thought that even though my brother is gone, I could still receive the benefits of his legacy."

Ma Wuliang did not know how to comfort his wife; he raised his hand and patted her shoulder: "From now on, I have you."

Ma Wuliang took her hand, turned around, and headed upstairs.

After they left, many people gathered together: "It seems Regiment Commander Fu and Company Commander Ma's wife's brother have a truly excellent relationship."

This implied more than what was said; naturally, one could not provoke Jiang Xiaofang carelessly in the future, otherwise, not to mention Regiment Commander Fu, even Regiment Commander Fu's wife would not forgive.

They arrived home just at the right time; Auntie Wei's dishes were ready, and Wei Wenbin ran into the courtyard: "Grandma, Uncle Fu, Auntie, I am back."

Auntie Wei called to him with a smile: "Go wash your hands quickly."

Le Bao clapped his hands, fluttered his short legs, and shouted with a smile: "Brother Wenbin, we are waiting only for you."

Wei Wenbin replied while washing his hands: "Okay, coming right away."

Turning around, his eyes were full of tenderness; the current Uncle Fu, Auntie, and the triplets had truly become his family; how wonderful.
