Chapter 177: Sincere heart
Meng Shuyan’s eyes closed slightly, his long eyelashes trembling, "I’m a bit sleepy."
"Oh heavens." Tian Sangsang’s cheeks were damp, her hand reached to wipe them and she lowered her gaze, saying, "Son, don’t be sleepy, don’t sleep. Listen to Mom talking. What should I talk about? Let’s talk about your father."
"Let’s talk about your father... Aren’t you the one who loves your father the most? He will come to save you, to save us."
Meng Shuyan suddenly opened his eyes, a faint light flickering in them, and softly asked, "Really?"
Really? He had been waiting for so long, but Dad hadn’t come. Is he really still there? He must not want him anymore. If it was before, Meng Shuyan would still be cheerful, but today, for some reason, he felt sad.
"Really." Tian Sangsang kissed his forehead and said, "Listen closely, okay? Mom has never told you about him before, so now I’ll tell you."
Meng Shuyan nodded his head, looking at her expectantly.
"Your dad, his name is Jiang Jinghuai. Surname Jiang, do you know which Jiang it is?" Tian Sangsang purposely chatted with him, trying to lift his spirits.
"The Jiang from Yangtze River." Meng Shuyan blurted out, looking as if he wanted to be praised.
"Oh, how smart! It’s indeed the Jiang from Yangtze River, not the Jiang from ginger." Tian Sangsang slowed down her voice as she continued, "Jinghuai is such a good name. Jing, it means sunlight. Huai, it means capacity. Together, it implies he has a heart as bright as the sun, he’s someone radiant and warm like the sun."
"He’s a great person. Especially remarkable. When he was a child, every time he took an exam, he scored full marks. The kids in class were so envious and jealous of him. When he grew up, he joined the army, just like Comrade Lei Feng, always ready to help others. Whenever someone was in trouble, he was always the first to lend a hand."
"Mom, how do you even know about Dad’s childhood?" Meng Shuyan asked softly.
