Yueyue hugged Shen Changchuanzi's neck and gently pressed her face against his.

Yueyue only does this with people she's close to.

"Oh! Grandpa Chen, please put me down first!"

Shen Changchuan put Yueyue down on the ground as she had instructed.

The little girl took off her backpack and stood on tiptoe to place it on the table. When she tried to open the bag, she found she couldn't reach it anymore.

Shen Changchuan simply put Yueyue on the table to sit.

Yueyue was very happy sitting on the table. "Daddy, don't tell Mommy I'm sitting on the table!"

"Why didn't you tell your mother?" Shen Changchuan asked.

"Mom won't let me!" Yueyue said, pulling an apple from her bag. "Grandpa Chen's apples are so sweet, and his pears are delicious too..."

The backpack wasn't very big; it couldn't hold much. After rummaging through it, Yueyue stretched out her hand and called out, "Daddy!"

Wei Aiguo knew his daughter wanted the bags he was holding, so he simply placed both bags on the table.

Yueyue continued to take out the delicious treats from one of the bags.

Hearing Yueyue's clear voice, Shen Changchuan's eyes stung a little.

"Grandpa Chen, you never come to see me. I brought you so much delicious food!"

Grandpa and I also found a lot of fun things for you!

"But there aren't any more as beautiful as this!" Yueyue said, touching the Tianhuang stone that Shen Changchuan had placed on the table.

Shen Changchuan listened patiently to Yueyue's endless chatter before turning to Wei Aiguo and asking, "Are you on holiday?"

"Yes! I'm on vacation!"

"Yueyue is coming to see you!" Wei Aiguo said.

Yueyue turned to look at her father, wondering if she had said that.

“I also have some questions I’d like to ask you, whether it’s feasible,” Wei Aiguo said.

Xiao Zhang deliberately didn't serve tea at the beginning, just so he could come in and take a look later.

He was a little worried.

Xiao Zhang brought two cups of tea and one cup of plain water. He put the water down. "Comrade Wei Aiguo, have some water!"

"Yueyue, drink some water!"

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang!" Yueyue took an apple out of her bag, which she had intended to give to Secretary Fang, and handed it to him. "Uncle Zhang, have an apple!"

Wei Aiguo wanted to laugh when he saw his daughter's action.

Xiao Zhang felt embarrassed to accept food from the child.

Shen Changchuan: "Take it, it's because the child is sensible!"

"Thank you so much, Yueyue!"

"Uncle Zhang, get me my bag. I need to take it home..."

"Then wait a moment!"

Shen Changchuan: "What do you want to ask me?"

Wei Aiguo: "I receive a stipend, and I've also received awards for my meritorious service. Compared to other soldiers, my life is much more comfortable."

"But if it weren't for Yueyue's mother, the house I live in, and all these things," Wei Aiguo pointed to the items still on the table. "I wouldn't even dream of owning them."

I've noticed that many military personnel have a difficult time because their families live with them.

Commander He, whom I know well, has elderly relatives at home, and he sends some money back every month. He has two children in school, and his wife stays at home and doesn't earn money. The family's expenses are entirely covered by Commander He's allowance.

He lived a very frugal life.

His life was relatively good because he had few children.

Military families with many children, especially those of school age, face significant challenges.

The meeting advocated for reform, and I think reform is a very important decision.

My mother's godson is Chang Xiaohu. Xiao Yan and he partnered to run a roast duck workshop under the name of the food factory. It wasn't a large-scale operation, but it employed about 10 women.

Every woman earns more than my allowance…”
