In both lifetimes combined, Zhao Qinglan had never met Li Zhenhua even once.

She knew that Li Huai and his father Li Zhenhua had a strained relationship, but she was still a little nervous when she heard that the person was coming soon.

It's like the feeling of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws. Even if Li Zhenhua, her father-in-law, doesn't get along with Li Huai, he's still her father-in-law.

When the phone went silent, Li Huai asked worriedly, "Qinglan? Qinglan?"

"Oh, I'm fine," Zhao Qinglan quickly replied, snapping out of her daze.

"Don't worry too much. Let him come. Just treat him like any other elder. Don't be too polite to him. If he does anything outrageous, don't indulge him." Li Huai clearly expressed his attitude.

"Okay, I understand." Reassured by Li Huai, she calmed down a bit.

Yes, she married Li Huai to live her life, but she didn't live with her father-in-law, so she only needed to maintain a superficial politeness.

However, as soon as she got home, she immediately called her three children over.

"Mom, what's wrong?" the eldest child asked curiously.

"Mom has something to tell you."

Seeing how serious she was about it, the three children were very curious.

"Today, an old man might come to our house. He is your grandfather, Da Wa and Er Wa."

Before she could finish speaking, Erwa interrupted, "I also have a grandfather!"

The eldest child knew he had a grandfather, but he had never met him.

“Yes, he is your father’s biological father and also your grandfather. However, your father and grandfather don’t have much contact. If your grandfather comes to our house, you should still greet him. Don’t be rude, understand?” she instructed.

In front of the children, she would not mention the bad relationship between father and son; there was no need to involve the children in the adults' affairs.

The two children nodded in agreement, looking forward to meeting their grandfather.

Especially after Zhao Qinglan went to tidy up the house, Erwa secretly asked his older brother.

"Brother, do you think Grandpa will bring us delicious food and toys if he comes?" Some officers in the family quarters even brought their parents with them.

He noticed that other grandfathers were very good to their own grandsons.

Occasionally, friends will boast about what nice things their grandparents back home have sent them.

He used to wonder why he didn't have grandparents who sent him things.

Actually, the house wasn't messy; Zhao Qinglan cleaned it regularly. But the thought of her father-in-law possibly coming over made her want to tidy up.

Even if she was just marrying Li Huai to live a simple life, deep down she didn't want Li Zhenhua to look down on her.

The older children were all very sensible. Seeing Zhao Qinglan tidying up, they all joined in to help.

Not long after, the car Li Zhenhua was in drove into the camp of Li Huai's regiment.

The sentry at the gate saw that the identification he showed belonged to someone from the military region and immediately made a phone call to ask for permission.

Sun Shengli already knew that the military region was coming, so he naturally let them pass immediately.

Li Zhenhua was also curious about where his son had worked over the years, so he kept looking out the car window.

The environment and facilities here are naturally far inferior to those in the capital.

But as Li Zhenhua looked at everything passing by outside, a nostalgic expression appeared on his face.

He was thinking about his own experiences fighting in various places back then.

The car was about to drive into the military camp, but Li Zhenhua, remembering the purpose of his trip, said directly, "I won't go into the camp area, take me to the family quarters instead."

It's inevitable that there will be another round of social obligations, which will also waste time.

Since he had already said that, the accompanying staff could only ask for directions to the family quarters.

However, they were intercepted by Sun Shengli at the main gate of the family quarters.

"Greetings, Commander!" As soon as Li Zhenhua got out of the car, Sun Shengli and the men behind him all saluted.

Li Zhenhua nodded in acknowledgment.

The military personnel who were following along naturally recognized Sun Shengli and quickly whispered a few words to Li Zhenhua.

"So it's Commander Sun, hello, hello." Li Zhenhua immediately extended his hand.

Since the leader had taken the initiative to extend his hand, Sun Shengli immediately reached out and shook hands with him. "Hello, leader."

He was still secretly thinking that Li Huai was not really like his father at all.

"I'm not here on official business, I just want to see my family. Commander Sun, please don't stand on ceremony. Everyone, please disperse."

He was quite approachable to outsiders.

"It's better not to check," Sun Shengli immediately waved for the others to leave, while he walked ahead and began to lead the way.

That's right, the car stopped right at the entrance of the residential area and didn't drive in.

Since the military vehicles were more conspicuous, Li Zhenhua didn't want people from the family quarters to gather around and watch.

But he was personally accompanied by Sun Shengli, the regimental commander, and the rank insignia on his uniform was so conspicuous and intimidating.

Of those who become military dependents, how many of them don't understand military ranks?

As they walked in, they encountered countless surprised military dependents along the way.

Especially those people sitting in a group talking.

"Where did that high-ranking official come from, that he even needs the regimental commander to accompany him?"

"Wow, did you see his rank? He's a general!"

It was rare for officers of such high rank to come to their regiment, so everyone became curious.

On the way, Li Zhenhua also inquired about the situation of Sun Shengli and Li Huai's family.

"Sir, Li Huai is still working in his office. Should I call him over?"

It would be a lie to say that he didn't want to see his son at all, but when Li Zhenhua thought about how he and his son had hardly ever spoken, he hesitated for a few seconds before shaking his head.
