Qiu Hai's mother never expected that her son would bring her food.

"Try it, these dumplings are really delicious. Your child is thinking of you."

Qiu Hai's mother is no stranger to dumplings; she can make them incredibly delicious. It's just that the child's thoughtfulness is what truly matters.

The savory flavor of the dumplings spread in my mouth... "They're so delicious!"

"Mom, what are you eating?" Qiu Hai is the second child in his family, with a younger brother and a younger sister. The two children gathered around their mother.

Qiu Hai's mother stuffed a dumpling into her mouth.

Even though they had eaten a full dinner, the three of them still shared the dumplings.

Qiu Hai's mother took one bite of the kimchi and then refused to eat any more. Her daughter-in-law had been suffering from severe morning sickness, so she was saving this to bring to her tomorrow to whet her appetite.

Xu Liangsheng and Wang Jinhui's mothers were also happily eating dumplings.

The old man took the dumplings back home for his youngest son to eat tomorrow morning.

Grandma Shen, however, was unhappy. Hongxiang was also furious when she received her son's call today. She knew about her mother giving her buckwheat noodles. If her son thought it wasn't enough, then he shouldn't have taken any!

The mother and daughter couldn't help but start complaining.

Old Shen put down his teacup. "I understand what you mean. You all feel that you're blaming Wei Aiguo, right?"

Jinghua, tell me. Did Wei Aiguo provoke you on his own initiative?

Let me ask you two again, did Wei Aiguo come to your house to cause trouble for Shengjie?

Let alone whether Shengjie knows right from wrong, none of you have shown any remorse.

Were the things you brought last time something they asked you for?

If they were greedy, they wouldn't have kept everything that Dongqi took the second time.

You're unhappy, so you just left Shengjie hanging. Have you thought about that? He took things to Wei Ai's house and was happily eating there. What are you going to do with Shengjie?

Hongxiang, you are neither a good wife nor a good mother.

If Lao Fang knew about this, I think his reaction would be completely different from yours.

What you're doing will only push your children further away from you and closer to your old house.

Hongxiang, if you continue like this, your family is doomed.

Shen Hongxiang and Old Mrs. Shen were stunned...

These people finally left, and Wei Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief for Song Yan, as so many people needed his wife to take care of them.

Song Yan: "The bodyguards of the four leaders helped me tidy up. Those guys were quite diligent."

Wei Aiguo fell silent.

"What's wrong?" Song Yan asked.

Wei Aiguo: "As long as I don't leave this military region, my path will be smooth. As long as I don't provoke others excessively, others won't easily provoke me."

"A few of the boys wanted their dad to come over for dinner, and I really felt I couldn't refuse. Was I going too far today?" Song Yan understood that being too flashy wasn't a good idea.

Wei Aiguo: "It's not that serious. Any of these families could arrange a dinner party for their children, right? I'm not even as good as their biological sons. So nothing will happen."

Half the people here are here because of you. Leaving aside Director Qiao and Division Commander Qiu's families, Xu Liang-sheng's mother is in very poor health. Chief of Staff Xu's words implied he was asking for your help.

"Oh, right. Today they said the military hospital could set up a Traditional Chinese Medicine department. They'll send you to study at the TCM hospital for six months, and when you come back, the department can be handed over to you. Then you'll be a legitimate doctor. Chief of Staff Xu is the most supportive of this."

If Chief of Staff Xu were to ask, Song Yan wouldn't refuse. A mother who lost two sons... it's so heartbreaking. He himself isn't incurable, but he'll do his best.

While Song Yan was busy, he heard about the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, never imagining they were after him. The prospect of immediately wearing a white coat was incredibly tempting. But a weak foundation makes a shaky building unstable! A diploma from a reputable university is the foundation. Besides, Lao Zeng and the others still need him.

"There's no rush. I'd like to think about it in a few years."

“From what Director Qiao said, establishing a department of traditional Chinese medicine is no small matter. If we give up now, it won’t be so easy to ask for help again in the future,” Wei Aiguo said.

"You don't need to worry about that. If I want a job, Lao Zeng can help me."

I'm thinking that if I have the chance, I'll go to school and study, and get a proper diploma.

Let people say I'm a top student first, don't let them point at me and say I'm a country bumpkin.

Song Yan wants to go to university and get a proper diploma. She can't afford to waste time studying. By then, Lao Han will definitely have left Qingshan Brigade, and she can continue learning from him.

Wei Aiguo respected Song Yan's wishes. As long as she was happy, that was fine.
