This is because I have been separated from my mother so many times that I have developed separation anxiety.

Qiao Qingqing couldn't help but think of herself when she was a child. She also longed for her parents' company, but she didn't know that the lack of parental love would cause psychological harm to the child. How could she just immerse herself in her own world?

The guilt that welled up in her heart almost overwhelmed her.

Qiao Qingqing softened her voice: "Mom will go get some water and be back soon."

But can we expect these one-year-old kids to understand?

Shi Meiyun came hurriedly.

He took the carrying pole from her shoulders and said, "Qingqing, it's rare that you come back early today. You can stay at home and spend more time with the children. I'll go fetch some water."

Feeling embarrassed, Qiao Qingqing suddenly felt relieved and obediently passed the task to her mother-in-law.

"Mom, then slow down."

Shi Meijun went out with a relieved smile. Now that Qingqing was able to cheer up, she felt relieved.

Next, Qiao Qingqing returned to her previous working mode, trying to spend as much time as possible with the children.

Time passed quickly when she devoted most of her energy to her children.

Five months passed in the blink of an eye.

As the children grew up, Qiao Qingqing buried her worries about her lover deep in her heart.

Until this day.

"Comrade Qiao Qingqing, the higher-ups have just issued a notice—"

In Cheng Liguo's office, Qiao Qingqing pursed her lips and stared at Captain Cheng, who had a solemn expression, without blinking.

Suddenly, Cheng Liguo smiled.

The moment she saw his smile, Qiao Qingqing couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in her heart, and she clenched her palms nervously: "Captain Cheng..."

"Congratulations!" Cheng Liguo congratulated her sincerely and extended his hand to her: "You and Comrade Lu Heng succeeded! The higher-ups have removed Ke Jinzhong from his position!"

For a moment, it was like a spring breeze and flowers bloomed.

A layer of mist gradually covered Qiao Qingqing's eyes, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. Finally...finally she had waited for this day!

She extended her hand solemnly and shook hands with Captain Cheng: "Thank you!"

Without the help of Captain Cheng and others, she and Lu Heng would never be able to accomplish anything on their own.

In this great era, individual power is ultimately too small.

"However, there hasn't been much change regarding Mr. Lu's situation." Cheng Liguo sighed, "After all, Mr. Lu's investigation was not carried out by Ke Jinzhong alone, and the higher-ups won't allow the army's morale to be shaken at the moment, so they won't change their policy just because of Mr. Lu."

Qiao Qingqing was mentally prepared for this.

She smiled and said, "It's okay. We are not greedy. As long as we get rid of the malicious targeting and hunting, even if we have to continue to be sent down, it will be a good ending for our family."

In fact, Qiao Qingqing once had a delusion. She hoped that she could change the fate of the Lu family and help them end their ten years of demotion ahead of schedule.

䛈䀴……

She also understands that for the sake of the so-called overall situation, too many people in power do not want to change the status quo.

The course of history will not be changed because of her alone.

The mental journey over the past month has made her much more open-minded.

Now, she only hopes that her family will be safe and sound, and does not ask for anything more.

Surprisingly, half a month later, another new notice was issued to the island group headquarters.
