Shen Yuanyi looked at Shen Qiaoyue and said, "Qiaoyue, you know your sister best. Advise her to look at the people around her and stop living in the past!"

Shen Qiaoyue naturally believed in the person her second uncle had chosen for her sister.

So he nodded and said, "I'll try my best."

She wanted her sister Shen Qiaoying to be happy more than anyone else, but feelings cannot be forced.

"The notification for He Ping's reinstatement will come soon. He will be assigned to another unit nearby to continue working. Although he will not be a division commander, he could be a deputy division commander or a regimental commander. He is qualified to accompany his unit."

This is why Shen Yuanyi is so anxious.

If the two have been together for half a year without any progress, then it can only mean that either Shen Qiaoying is unwilling to accept He Ping's feelings and is pretending not to know that he likes her, or she is living in her own world and really can't see the good in the person next to her.

"Whether Qiaoying chooses Heping or not, I respect her choice. You can help her get over it, live in a different place, and experience a different environment. She will eventually be able to let go of her resentment."

Shen Qiaoyue also thought it made a lot of sense, nodded, and looked at Shen Yuanyi, saying, "Uncle, I will try my best to communicate with my sister by phone and I will also write to her."

"Okay, just do your best." Shen Yuanyi patted his knee. "Qiaoyue, take good care of yourself and don't be willful."

"Yes, don't worry, Uncle. Lu Chen and I already have a child. I won't be willful," Shen Qiaoyue said to Shen Yuanyi.

Shen Yuanyi looked at Shen Qiaoyue, watching his beloved niece grow up and soon become a mother, and he truly felt gratified.

"Alright, Uncle won't talk to you anymore. I need to go to a meeting later. I'm leaving." Shen Yuanyi stood up and was about to leave.

Shen Qiaoyue took her second uncle's hand and said, "Second Uncle, are you leaving again? You've only been here a short time."

Her parents lived far away from her when she was young, and her second uncle was the one who spent most of her time with her.

“Your second uncle is too busy with work, there’s nothing I can do!” Shen Yuanyi sighed. “Let’s go, no need to see me off, the car is already at the door.”

He waved his hand, then glanced at Qian Luoshui and said to her, "Luoshui, you should also take care of yourself."

"Second Uncle, I will take good care of myself," Qian Luoshui replied.

Seeing that everyone was doing well, Shen Yuanyi prepared to leave.

When everyone saw him to the door, he refused to let them follow him.

With her hands behind her back, Shen Qiaoyue walked out of the family compound, watching her second uncle's retreating figure.

Suddenly, I realized that my second uncle had aged.

The way he walked out, hunched over, looked just like a little old man.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Chen saw Shen Qiaoyue staring at the leader's back and felt a sense of nostalgia.

Shen Qiaoyue recovered from Lu Chen's voice.

“Uncle is getting old!” Shen Qiaoyue sighed. “In two more years, Uncle will be sixty years old. He spent his whole life on the battlefield searching for the person he loved most, but he never found her!”

Shen Qiaoyue remembered her parents saying that her uncle and a good comrade-in-arms lost their loved ones at the same time, and they never gave up searching for them throughout their lives.

So many years have passed, and I still haven't found the person I love. How important is someone you can never let go of in your life?

"For more than 20 years, my uncle has never let go of the person he loves. He has dedicated his life to the people and his cause, leaving the last bit of love in his heart to his lover who has been missing for many years."

Shen Qiaoyue had never met the person her uncle loved most, but she knew that she must be an exceptional woman, otherwise, how could her uncle have remembered her for a lifetime?

Lu Chen looked at Shen Qiaoyue, and her sentimental appearance for her family was also very heartbreaking.

"Don't worry, Second Uncle will take good care of himself. Sometimes, the lack of news is what keeps Second Uncle going. What difference does it make if we know the result?" Lu Chen felt that, as Shen Qiaoyue said, it was probably that obsession that kept him going.

If he knew the outcome would be bad, someone as old as Shen Yuanyi could probably accept it.

"And you, you found out about your mother's death, but did you find out her identity, who killed her, and who your father is?" Shen Qiaoyue had never had the chance to ask this question.

Now that she thinks about it carefully, Shen Qiaoyue always feels that Lu Chen resembles someone, her uncle's comrade-in-arms, Jiang Mingjing, a leader in the Beijing Military Region, but she doesn't know if it's just her imagination.

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Back then, it was a time of war and chaos; it wasn't that easy."

"There's still no news?" Shen Qiaoyue asked curiously.

Lu Chen shook his head, then said in a deep voice, "A comrade of mine, who retired due to injury and works at the police station, helped investigate. Back then, my mother was rescued by local villagers and taken to the hospital, but at that time my mother was already in labor and had multiple wounds. I was born via cesarean section, and the technology at that time was not very advanced. In addition, my mother lost too much blood and had multiple gunshot wounds. She died after treatment was ineffective."

"Moreover, the clothes they were wearing at the time were easy to identify. My comrade said that my mother and many other women were sent to the hospital, and almost all of them died! It was the villagers who heard the gunshots. After an hour or so, they mustered up their courage and went into the mountains to check. They took all the women who were still alive to the nearby hospital. The journey was long, and they died because they were not treated in time. My comrade guessed in his letter that they were military dependents who were separated from the enemy during the encirclement and were killed."

Shen Qiaoyue looked at Lu Chen with heartache and moved her lips.

"What? A military family member?" Shen Qiaoyue was surprised and grabbed Lu Chen's hand, asking, "Where is it?"

“Northwest, not far from my hometown,” Lu Chen replied.

Seeing Shen Qiaoyue's nervousness, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong, wife?"
