Chapter 149 151 Farewell

After hearing what Aunt Hu said, the relatively young Liu Yihong was obviously relieved. It was not that he had a deep relationship with his aunt, but if his aunt was driven away, his mother would definitely be unhappy.

Aunt Hu was very annoyed with Lu Jinzhi. She was not young anymore, but she was selfish, uneducated and brainless. However, her eldest daughter-in-law had been married into the Liu family for so many years and had done nothing wrong. Her grandson was already seventeen or eighteen years old and would soon become an adult. She could make her grandson understand what was right and wrong, but she could not hurt the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren.

Aunt Hu looked at Liu Qingchen with pity, "Chenchen, do you know everything about your uncle?" When she heard that Lu Jinzhi once used Uncle Hu's affairs to threaten Qingchen to marry her, she realized that Qingchen retired because he knew that Uncle Hu, who had served his sentence, was his biological father.

After she became so angry that she fell ill, Aunt Hu thought she was going to die, but she was unexpectedly saved by Doctor Rong.

The reason why she stopped pursuing Lu Jinzhi was, firstly, for the sake of her grandson and daughter-in-law, and secondly, she had been in poor health before and had little will to survive, and she didn't want to drag her child down. Now, after having come back from the gates of hell, all her illnesses were gone, and she was healthy and light. She was really happy from the bottom of her heart that her son could stay with her, and she was not so angry about the stupid things Lu Jinzhi had done.

"Well, mother, I have asked my comrades to look after my uncle, so you don't have to worry! If I have the chance, I will take him in." Uncle Hu is not only Liu Qingchen's biological father, but also Aunt Hu's only brother. For Aunt Hu's sake, Liu Qingchen would not leave Uncle Hu alone.

"Yihong, you and your mother go back first." After dinner, Aunt Hu sent Lu Huazhi and her son back to their yard. Lu Huazhi was in charge of the logistics of the town, and Liu Yihong was also going to participate in the training of the patrol team.

"Then let Qingchen talk to you. If anything happens, just ask Yaoyao to call me." Lu Huazhi left with Liu Yihong with a smile on her face.

"Chenchen, it's all your fault that you've been dragged down. If it weren't for my old bones, you wouldn't have to stay in this small place. If you hadn't retired, you would definitely be a big shot with great power now." Aunt Hu felt the calluses on Liu Qingchen's palms from years of holding weapons, and said with guilt.

"Mom, what are you talking about? What big people and small people? Without you, there would be no me. With you, I have a home. Wherever you are, I will be there." Liu Qingchen said a little uncomfortably. In his early years, he trained hard in the army and often went on missions. He accumulated countless merits step by step and was highly valued by the leaders. He and his comrades were like brothers. His life in the army was fulfilling and busy, and he was like a fish in water. Year after year, the days he stayed at home were very few.

It was not until half a year ago that he learned about his life story. When he came back, he saw his old mother lying on the hospital bed, her face was frosted, her body was paralyzed, and she was in a daze. Sometimes she would shout "Chenchen, where are you?" and sometimes she would tell others, "Chenchen's mission is very dangerous. Don't tell him to distract him."

As the saying goes, if you give birth to a child but don't raise him, you can repay it by cutting off your finger, but if you raise him before giving birth, you can never repay him.

In the past, he always thought that he would have plenty of time to repay his mother for her upbringing. But when he saw her fragile and helpless look, he realized that time was running out.

After watching his mother come out of the operating room and find that she was no longer in danger and her condition had stabilized, Liu Qingchen went straight back to the army and submitted his retirement application, rejecting his leader's attempts to retain him and their good intentions to arrange a career change for him.

He used his savings from many years in the army and the resettlement fee given by the army and secretly made up his mind to stay with Aunt Hu until she passed away and never leave her side.

Aunt Hu's eyes reddened when she heard Liu Qingchen's somewhat awkward but heartfelt words. She was happy. "Nonsense, I'm old and can't accompany you for a few more years. You should also start a family. In the past, when I talked about this, you always said you were busy. You didn't want to go on blind dates when I asked you to. You also said that a man should have no trouble finding a wife. Haha, my son is so outstanding, and I really think that no one is worthy of you. Who knew that the world would suddenly change."

Aunt Hu looked out the window and asked quietly, "Chenchen, what do you think of Doctor Rong?"

Seeing Liu Qingchen's surprised expression, he persuaded her earnestly, "Don't look down on Dr. Rong just because she is taking care of the child. Dr. Rong has clear eyes, is kind-hearted, and is capable. As a woman, she takes care of the child so well and educates the child so sensibly in this world. This is so rare! If this were the society before, let alone taking care of the child, even if I had a relationship, I would feel that I am not worthy of you. But now it's different. In this world, you still have to find a woman who can handle things and help. Dr. Rong is very suitable."

"Mom, what are you thinking about? Doctor Rong is just passing by. They are leaving today and will come to say goodbye to you soon." Liu Qingchen said to Aunt Hu with a helpless look.

"Are we leaving so soon? It's so dangerous outside now, where are they going? Doctor Rong, do you think our town is too small and unsafe and want to go to a safe area? Then why don't you pack up and we will go too." Aunt Hu said anxiously.

Liu Qingchen looked at Aunt Hu in surprise.

"Before, I was in poor health and always felt that I would not live for more than a few days. I just wanted to die in this familiar place. Now that I am well, I feel that I can still live for a few more years. I can't trap you here anymore. Mother knows that you transformed this town into a small safe zone for me. But here, there are many people who eat for free but few who need it. Just to maintain the safety of the town, you have spent a lot of energy. You have been working so hard to take care of the safety of so many people, and you have no time to improve yourself. When we get to the safe zone, let those relatives and friends be self-reliant, and you can also make plans for yourself." Aunt Hu looked at Liu Qingchen with heartache. Although she was old, she was not deaf or stupid. The town was not far from the safe zone. In addition to the soldiers he had led at the beginning who came to Liu Qingchen from the beginning, there were also some of Liu Qingchen's school friends, supporters and their families in the town, and some relatives like Lu Jinzhi who had a hard time in the safe zone and took the opportunity of Liu Qingchen sending people to the safe zone to exchange supplies and gather information to come to him.

These people are lazy and cunning, which seriously affects the original atmosphere of the town and gives Liu Qingchen a headache.

More than a month after the end of the world, the officer who came to the town to carry out the search and rescue mission was a soldier led by Liu Qingchen. The officer was surprised to find that Liu Qingchen was actually in Baihua Town. He said that the highest commander of the Binyang Security Zone Army was Liu Qingchen's comrade-in-arms when he first joined the army, and invited him to serve in the Security Zone Army.

Aunt Hu was stubborn and refused to leave, so Liu Qingchen had to stay here and create a temporary safe haven.
