"I don't like you anymore, wuwuwu..." Duobao raised his head and wailed, "I don't like you anymore, I don't want my dad, I don't want you to be my dad——"

"Didn't you just praise me for being so great? I'm so great, but you still don't want me to be your father?" Qin Shouguo asked him with his hands on his hips.

"No, no, you're not that great at all..." Duobao said as he squatted under the eaves and cried.

He covered his eyes with his hands, looking as sad as he could be.

When Lin Zhengran and the others arrived, they saw Qin Shouguo holding Duobao. He didn't try to coax him, but just said:

"I'll take care of this kid today." He turned to Li Fei and said, "You stay home today. I'm afraid someone will come to our house and make trouble. If that happens, you don't have to be polite."

Li Fei nodded, thinking that it would be most appropriate for his eldest brother to take care of this matter.

Lin Zhengran was worried and said, "Leave Duobao at home. Your injury hasn't healed yet, and I have things to do. I don't want to bother you."

Qin Shouguo weighed Duobao, his smile not reaching his eyes. "How can he get in my way? We can cultivate our relationship as father and son on the road."

Duobao cried out "wow" in Qin Shouguo's arms and cried even harder. He reached out to his mother.

He said he doesn't want a dad. Doesn't Uncle Qin understand what he's saying?

Lin Zhengran wanted to hug her and comfort her, but Li Fei separated them and said:

"Big brother is right. It's normal for men to cry. Don't give in to him just because he cries, otherwise it will be difficult to teach him in the future."

"Let Big Brother take care of him. Are you worried that Big Brother won't be able to take care of him well?"

Li Fei patted Lin Zhengran on the head and said with a smile: "Don't forget that you also grew up following Big Brother."

There is nothing much to say about this. She has no worries about Qin Shouguo.

Although they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, Lin Zhengran trusted him.

Duobao couldn't even cry this time, and sobbed in disbelief.

"Dad - Grandma - why did you die so early? No one loves me anymore -"

Qin Shouguo ignored Duobao's complaints like a nagging wife.

We waited for the bus at the village entrance. When the ticket collector saw Duobao's face full of snot and tears, he joked:

"Oh, your son is really full of energy, with snot bubbles coming out one after another."

Qin Shouguo sat down, lifted up Duobao's clothes in front, and wiped them while saying, "This kid is good in every way, but he was spoiled by his mother and has a bad temper."

"No," Duobao retorted seriously with tears in his eyes, "You are a bad person. I don't like you anymore."

The ticket collector's face tightened and he thought to himself: Judging from what the child said, I'm afraid this person is not his biological father?

Or did this child encounter a kidnapper?

The ticket collector said warily, "We use this line every day, but we've never seen you before. Who are you from?"

The car was driving on the road, and the dirt road in the countryside was full of potholes.

Qin Shouguo introduced his home address and said that he had not been home for more than ten years. He also took out his ID, and the ticket collector finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"So you're from the People's Liberation Army! I misunderstood. I'm so sorry, so sorry."

The ticket collector was overjoyed, his eyes brightened when he looked at Qin Shouguo, and his tone was full of respect.

"The military and the people are one family." Qin Shouguo said, "You're right to be more cautious. Even if it really was a kidnapper, you still saved a family. We should learn from you in this spirit!"

A PLA soldier! A regimental commander at that, and he wanted to learn from her? This made Fang Qing, who had just started working, very happy.

Originally, she thought this job was boring and tedious, and she had to argue with the country aunties and uncles every day, but today was different, she seemed to love this job even more.

The bus passed by a nearby village and people got on one after another. Fang Qing and the PLA comrades only chatted for a few words before going to work.

As soon as Fang Qing left, Duobao asked curiously, "What is the People's Liberation Army? What does it do?"

Duobao pointed at the enthusiastic ticket collector and asked, "Why does she like you so much?"

Qin Shouguo was rarely gentle and serious. He lowered his head and said to Duobao:

"The People's Liberation Army is not a job, it's a profession. We specialize in fighting enemies who bully us and protecting those who are weaker than us. My sister is happy because she is proud, and she likes us because she knows we will always be their strongest support."

Duobao didn't understand such a profound truth, but he had a wish.

"You are a PLA soldier, so can you protect my sister and my mother?"

The dirt road in the countryside was very bumpy. Qin Shouguo held the little one in his arms steady as if it were a mountain. He said:

"Uncle is here to protect you. No one will be able to bully you and your sister from now on. Now that I am your father, I can protect your mother."

After Qin Shouguo finished speaking, he looked at Duobao, and they looked at each other in surprise.

Duobao pursed his lips and refused to let go.

Although he is small, he is not stupid, so he definitely cannot respond to this.

If you agree to it, you will have a new father.

Duobao turned his eyes away, looked left and right, and pouted, refusing to look at him.

Qin Shouguo was relieved that he stopped crying. His crying was even more terrifying than the sound of cannons!

Leshan Village is not far from the town, so Qin Shouguo went straight to the Public Security Bureau after getting off the car.

Because of Qin Shouguo, the director is a retired soldier with a strong sense of justice.

When he saw Qin Shouguo, he patted his chest and assured, "Yesterday we interrogated everyone from the Chen and Qi families, and today we sent a team to their village to collect evidence.

This matter will be almost finished before you return to report.

But you should be mentally prepared first. We asked yesterday, and the child that was swapped by the Chen family is also gone. That family also gave her away..."

When Lu Kangnian said this, his eyes could not help but turn red and he could not continue.

How dare they take the life of a child less than a hundred days old?

Qin Shouguo breathed heavily, and after he calmed down, he asked, "What will happen to the person who committed the crime?"

"Officials will not investigate unless the people sue them."

Lu Kangnian said with a serious face: "If you don't reconcile with them, the people involved will be shot."

"Can I do it?" Qin Shouguo asked, "I'll do it."

This question stumped Lu Kangnian. Logically speaking, this was definitely not possible.

Qin Shouguo's eyes were red with tears, and he looked ahead:

"I gave my little sister to the Qi family to raise because I couldn't survive. Later, my only sister became what she is now. I have failed my parents.

It is difficult to be both loyal and righteous. I knew that their lives were not easy, but I still chose the lesser of two options.

I owe it to my little sister. If I don't take revenge on her myself, I will never be able to live again."

Lu Kangnian was a soldier in the past. He knew the hardships of being a soldier better than anyone else, and he also understood Qin Shouguo's current guilt.

But he was a few years older than Qin Shouguo, so he still wanted to persuade him.

"Their fate is already determined. If you do it yourself, it will definitely leave traces, which may affect your future. Think about it again?"
