Chapter 2059: Captain's death

Qiao An was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the logic of Medea's words.
Why should you work more with your ingenuity, and if you work with an honest person, you deserve to be bullied? How can there be such a truth in the world!
It was Fania who was well-behaved and sensible, and found that Joan and Medea quarreled, and hurriedly came over to make ends meet.
"Master, you can teach me how to make papaya drink, and just guide me by the side. I will do the hands-on work."
"Count me too!" Menia rolled up her sleeves excitedly and came to join in the fun.
"Okay, then." Qiao An suddenly realized that the Silent Hall was no longer "silent".
The giant sisters are really small experts at housework. With their assistance, Qiao An made ten papaya into papaya milk in less than half an hour, and tried to stew it in a "magic pot". The flavor is better than iced one. More mellow and silky.
Joan and Medea drank two large cups of papaya milk alone, and their belly was round, and the remaining half of the pot was rounded for Fania and Menia.
The Giant Sisters are really not as tall as Bai Chang, and their appetite is surprisingly large. Menia held up the pot in the end, licking it to see others, her expression still unfinished.
"The two of you sisters will live with me from now on and help me make blood honey wine. I dare not say anything else. Papaya stew with milk is enough!"
Medea's generosity immediately conquered the hearts of the giant sisters. Menia praised her as the "most considerate employer" she had ever met, which made Joan a little jealous...
In the evening, Grey Bird also came back, and the four women were chattering, like a festive celebration.
Qiao An intended to stay in the Silent Hall for a few more days to help Medea brew "Blood Honey Wine". However, after only three days of staying, he received a letter from Audrey telling him that something went wrong in Mrs. Anderson's house and urged him to go back quickly. One trip!
After reading the letter, Qiao An couldn't help but sink!
Audrey would never write a letter to urge him to go home for trivial matters, but she did not say in the letter what had happened to Mrs. Anderson, which made him feel very uneasy, and immediately left Medea, Greybird and the Giant sisters. , Cast a spell to send home quickly.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, Qiao Ann heard crying, and the anxiety in his heart became stronger. He hurried into the house. Mrs. Anderson was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, hiding her face and weeping, while Hailar and Audrey were nearby trying to comfort the heartbroken. Old woman.
Holden saw Qiao Ann's figure in the window and hurriedly greeted him.
"What happened?" Qiao An asked.
Holden first looked back at Mrs. Anderson, then winked at him: "Go upstairs and talk about it."
Qiao An nodded restlessly, and followed him upstairs.
"Joan, do you know Mrs. Anderson's son?" Holden asked in a low voice on the second floor.
"I've seen him a few times, his name is Bob Anderson, who seems to be a captain of the active cavalry."
The reason why Qiao Ann bought this house was mainly because Bob Anderson needed a sum of money to buy a captain's rank, thereby increasing the "gold content" in the eyes of his girlfriend's parents. For the sake of her son's future, Mrs. Anderson sold this old house to Joe Ann, the tenant, in exchange for a large sum of money, and finally helped her son realize his wish.
Later, Qiao An met Captain Anderson twice at home. The young man was very handsome, talkative, and likable. He was quite proud of his career and love affairs, but he didn’t have a common language with such an academic otaku. Friendship.
Not long ago, Qiao An heard that Mrs. Anderson mentioned that her son had been appreciated by her boss, Lieutenant Colonel Henry James, in the army. He was promoted soon, and the relationship with the congressman’s daughter was also going smoothly. He was considering the engagement, as if a spring breeze. Young talent.
"You mentioned Captain Anderson suddenly. Could something happen to him?" Joan asked Holden.
Mr. Poet nodded heavily.
"Just this morning, Mrs. Anderson received a letter from the Civil Affairs Bureau with the seal of the military district on it. The old lady was illiterate, so she asked me to read the letter for him. I opened the envelope and saw that it turned out to be a death notice. book."
Qiao An's heart shuddered, and he asked quickly: "Captain Anderson...sacrificed?"
Holden nodded and sighed: "The official document only stated that it was an attack on the Vimur Valley last Saturday and was unfortunately killed in the service. It did not mention the details of Captain Anderson's sacrifice, and asked his family to collect the body and pension... This was told to Mrs. Anderson, and the poor old woman fainted immediately."
"She is so old and her physical condition has not been very good. Suddenly learned of such bad news, she couldn't bear the blow... The situation was very dangerous at the time. Fortunately, my sister was also there, and she quickly performed magical skills, which was to rescue the old man. , You have also seen the latter situation. The old man was so sad that he couldn't stop crying. We couldn't persuade him, so I had to find you to come back and find a way."
Joan nodded, sympathizing with Mrs. Anderson's experience. However, the old man has lost his favorite son, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and others sympathize with sympathy. How can he empathize with the pain of bereavement? No amount of comfort is pale.
"What happens next?" Holden looked blank.
"Anyway, let's take care of Captain Anderson's funeral." Qiao An replied in a low voice.
The two went downstairs. By coincidence, Mrs. Anderson's eldest daughter and second daughter learned of the bad news and rushed over together, embracing and weeping with their mother.
Qiao An discussed with Audrey and Hailar, and felt that the old woman has taken good care of everyone over the years and treated them as her own juniors. Now that they are suffering from misfortune, they should do their best. Captain Anderson’s funeral expenses Sharing it evenly by the four of them can be regarded as expressing their feelings.
Audrey told Mrs. Anderson and her two daughters of everyone's plan. The three women were grateful and thanked.
Seeing that Mrs. Anderson's mood improved, Hailar discussed with the two young wives that he planned to leave the youngest daughter at home to take care of her mother, and the eldest daughter to go out to handle the funeral of Captain Anderson.
Mrs. Anderson’s daughters are ordinary housewives, and they don’t know how to handle the procedures for receiving pensions and the remains of her brother. Hailar looked at them as pitiful, and offered to accompany them on a trip and negotiate with the relevant departments.
Joanne, Audrey, and Holden also intend to go with them. When they went out, Mrs. Anderson suddenly proposed that she would also go with her. If she could not see her son's body with her own eyes, she would never believe that Bob Anderson was no longer alive. , Maybe the army made a mistake, and the person who sacrificed was not her son. This kind of misunderstanding might happen, right?
No one can bear to persuade her to face reality. Since the old man insisted on going, it was difficult to stop him, so he hired a carriage and took the Anderson family to the military area.
