"Wow, it's all my fault. I ruined him. If it weren't for me, he would still be in the army. He would have a bright future. Wow, my aunt and the others are right. I am a jinx. Whoever gets close to me will be unlucky. It's all my fault~"

Qiao Jiangxin held her back, "The situation hasn't reached that point yet. You're already a mother, can you be more calm? If you panic at this moment, who will help you take care of Brother Peng?

You can't rely on others for everything, right? I have to stand up too! ”

Liu Xinyan was shocked by the shouting and reached out to wipe away her tears. "Yes, I can't panic. I will think of a way. There must be a way."

Qiao Jiang's heart softened, "Now we just wait for news from Brother Gu. Brother Gu won't let him have any trouble."

Gu Yunzhou and Peng Zhihua didn't come back for three days.

Liu Xinyan couldn't wait any longer. After sitting there all night, she went to find the person she least wanted to see in her life - Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou Hong - without telling Peng Jinggui.

Everyone only knows that Liu Jianbing (Liu Xinyan's father) died in a war while covering the retreat of his soldiers. But only a very few people know that Liu Jianbing fought back and then fell back to carry Zhou Hong, who had injured his leg, and was then hit and killed.

When the leaders above discussed the issue of raising Liu Xinyan, Zhou Hong was the one who wanted to adopt her, which made Liu Xinyan hate him.

Part of the reason why her uncle and Zhu Dan treated her badly was that she didn't want to get close to Zhou Hong, and even hated him to the extreme.

It was because of Zhou Hong that his father died. It was also because of his father's death that his mother, a war correspondent, rushed to her husband in a trance and was hit by a shell.

So, Liu Xinyan hated him. She knew that Zhou Hong felt very guilty towards her, but she also knew that Zhou Hong was not to blame.

Zhou Hong was a soldier under Dad's command, and it was Dad's own choice to go back and save him.

Liu Xinyan felt that if it weren't for Zhou Hong, her parents would not have died.

Over the years, no matter whether Zhou Hong came to visit her or in other occasions, Liu Xinyan always showed rejection and resistance towards Zhou Hong, and even said many things that embarrassed Zhou Hong.

Gradually, Zhou Hong also lost interest and came less often.

At the gate of the family compound of the xxth Infantry Division of the 20th Army Regiment, Liu Xinyan waited for three hours and finally met Zhou Hong's wife Fang Xiuying.

"Auntie Fang~"

Peng Jinggui, who was carrying a bag tightly on Liu Xinyan's back and whose face turned blue due to the cold wind, staggered and stopped Fang Xiuying.

Fang Xiuying is a man in her fifties, with short hair that is already somewhat gray. She is a weapons researcher at the General Armaments Department.

She naturally knew Liu Xinyan, and also knew the hidden person involved.

"Xinyan, why are you here?" Fang Xiuying sounded a little surprised.

Liu Xinyan's eyes flashed with embarrassment, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "Aunt Fang, I want to see Uncle Zhou."

Liu Xinyan was led in. Fang Xiuying poured her some hot tea and asked her to take the child to warm up by the fire in the house while she went to the communications room to call her husband.

In less than an hour, Zhou Hong returned by bus.

Zhou Hong, who is in his fifties, has gained a little weight and his skin has become bronzed due to years of wind and sun exposure.

He glanced at Liu Xinyan expressionlessly, then went to sit on the sofa, his every move and gesture revealing the dignity peculiar to a soldier.

He lowered his eyes, exuding calmness and composure, and said slowly, "I thought you would never come to see me in your life."
