Ning Zhiyuan had something on his mind, and as he walked, he suddenly ran out.

The guards chasing after him were panting heavily, and in the end they could only see his shadow.

He had just arrived at the communications room when the phone rang. He quickly picked up the receiver, "Hello?"

"Zhiyuan?"

Ning Zhiyuan confirmed, "Dad?"

"Uh-huh."

Only after receiving his father's reply did Ning Zhiyuan dare to confirm that the person speaking was his father.

The father and son rarely contacted each other, and most of the time Gu Nanzhi acted as a messenger between them.

Ning Zhiyuan paused for a moment, then asked, "Dad, did you call me because you need something?"

"Yes, this call was originally supposed to be made by your mother, but considering that you're getting married soon and becoming a husband, I think it's more appropriate for me, as your father, to tell you some things."

Ning Zhiyuan was taken aback. Why did his father's tone on the other end of the phone sound so kind?

This must be his hallucination!

From a young age, his father trained him and his brother to be soldiers. However, his brother was not physically fit and soon gave up on his own, so his father focused all his energy on him and became increasingly strict with him.

As he grew up, his older brother would occasionally reminisce and make a few joking complaints, but his father and mother would always retort.

The parents both said it was because the older brother was not good enough, and that he was the only one to blame.

Ning Zhiyuan snapped out of his daze. "Dad, just say what you have to say."

Commander Ning spoke slowly and earnestly, "I've watched Xiao Yu grow up. She's always been clever and quick-witted, learning everything faster than others."

"If it weren't for the special circumstances, her future would be a thousand times, or even ten thousand times, better than it is now."

"I wouldn't dare to propose marriage to their family so rashly."

"It's really not easy for her to be willing to travel thousands of miles to marry and live with you now."

"Therefore, in your daily life, you must respect her, cherish her, and understand her."

"It's impossible for couples to be completely without conflict; what's needed most is communication and mutual understanding."

"And no matter how much anger and grievance you suffer outside, you can't bring your emotions home."

"She is your lover, and she is the one you should love."

"..."

Ning Zhiyuan was completely stunned. Was the person in front of him really his father?

His father never had a heart-to-heart talk with him. His requirements for him were simply how many laps he had to run on the track each day and how many sit-ups he had to do. These were all very clear instructions.

He opened his mouth, "Dad, I understand. I will definitely treat Xiaoyu well."

"Yes, now we need to talk about the bride price."

Seven years ago, when your older brother got married, we gave him 800 yuan as a bride price.

"Three turns and one sound".

"The bed, wardrobe, dressing table, sofa, coffee table, etc., were all bought from scratch."

"We've taken inflation into account, so we'll give you 1,000 yuan as a bride price, and the rest of the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a set of three-turn watches, a set of three-turn watches, and a set of four-turn watches) and furniture will all be given to you in cash."

"In addition, you served in the army for 8 years and sent money home every month. All in all, that's about 2,000 yuan. Your mother and I haven't touched a single penny of that money. We've deposited it all in the bank for you and will send it to you all at once later."
