Otherwise, it would be the elders who should be worried.

Having returned to Beijing after many years, I found that everything had changed and I could no longer meet many of my old friends there.

However, when it comes to returning to Beijing, my wife is the most capable. She relied on her own abilities to go back directly through the college entrance examination, instead of relying on the help of others.

Even though her parents, who had been sent to the countryside, returned first, she did not go back with them. In her opinion, she wanted to rely on her own abilities.

It can be said that in this matter, not only was she happy, but she also gained face in front of her superiors.

She just didn't tell anyone. As for how she grew her small business into a large and successful one after returning to Beijing, she went to school while following the policies, which was all thanks to her own abilities.

Even though I really wanted to help her, I didn't have the time.

To be honest, he never imagined that one day he would actually step onto the front lines. Although he had been practicing combat every day for years, he was still a novice when it came to actually going to the battlefield.

Moreover, it was a large-scale battle, the first of its kind.

Fortunately, he had his father at home, and he shared his experience with him.

Besides, having served in the military for so many years, I've participated in countless missions, big and small, so I have nothing to be afraid of.

What they didn't expect was that he wasn't the only one from their family who went this time.

But when he found out, there was nothing he could do. After all, they were all soldiers, and there was no other choice in this situation.

Fortunately, they all returned safely in the end; otherwise, their families would have been worried.

However, as military family members, they knew that this day would come sooner or later.

As for his wife, no one understands her better than she does; she has long endured more than anyone else.

She had just returned from the front lines, and while her family was busy showing concern and care, she was actually busy in the kitchen.

Over the years, we've grown up together and become husband and wife. I still know my wife very well; she's not the kind of person who expresses her emotions outwardly.

She always had to bear everything alone, which was why he felt sorry for her.

But seeing the way she looked at me, I knew that the moment she saw me there, she was completely relieved.

There are just too many people around now, so it's impossible to ask too many questions in person.

I never expected that after being away from home for so long, my precious daughter would be so attached to me.

Yes, it's true. They say daughters are their fathers' little cotton wool.

"Daddy, Daddy."

"Oh, Daddy's little darling, have you missed Daddy?"

"think."

"Have you been behaving well at home?"

"Yes, I am the best baby."

"That's right, no one is as strange as my daughter."

"Dad, are you still leaving?"

"Go? Where to?"

"It's a very, very far place. Mom said Dad went to fight bad guys and protect our country."

"Dad, are they bad?"

"Hmm? That's bad, but now that Dad's back, we don't need to go for the time being."

"Really? You can stay home with me all the time?"

"I can stay with you for a few days for now! But I don't know exactly how many days Meng will stay with you."

"ah!"

"What, you really want your dad to be with you?"

Seeing that her daughter was unhappy and not saying anything, she asked with some concern.

"What's wrong, honey? Tell Daddy, did someone bully you?"

Or is it that you've encountered a problem that your little brain can't solve?

"Didn't Dad tell you that if you can't solve it, you can ask your older brothers? And if they can't solve it either, there's always Mom, right?"

“No, Dad, they didn’t bully me. It’s just that their dads were all home.”

"Then Dad can't make that promise to you because of the nature of Dad's job and his work ability here, he can't be home all the time."

"I know Mom says Dad is very capable, but honestly, I'm just a girl, and Dad definitely won't like me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xi knew that these "they" must be the older women in the family compound. They were the only ones who had nothing better to do than gossip about this family or sow discord between couples.

It's unbelievable that the old man, who has only been back for a short time, dares to speak so openly behind people's backs, and even to the children.

It seems it's time for him to move to a different place; otherwise, the old man alone probably can't really support his family.

Most importantly, given the old man's status, it's impossible for him to go and reason with those people.

Even though the old lady is still around, as soon as she leaves, people will say that their family is bullying others because of the old man's position.

But if I go back to Beijing, even if I still can't solve the problem, can't I still go to the men in their family?

An old lady who talks badly about people behind their backs is probably a babysitter for her children.

Since that's the case, then he has a way to make them all know the consequences of offending the Shen family.

But before that, my dear daughter needs to explain it to me carefully.

"Girl, how could you possibly be our family's little girl? You're our precious darling."

Look, you're the only girl in our family; everyone else is a boy. Have you ever looked at your grandparents, your parents, or even shown favoritism towards your brother over you?"

"That's right. When there are good things at home, my younger brother and I always take them first, and then my older brothers share them among themselves."

Also, my grandparents told my brother not to bully me, and that if they see anyone bullying me outside, they should protect me.

"Then tell your father who said you were a worthless little brat, and where."

"Who is it, who..."

And so, I heard a string of children's names, but none of that matters; I'll just ask my eldest son later.

Then he spoke to his daughter.

"You must remember, no matter who says you are a girl and worthless at home, don't believe them."

You are the precious darling of the Shen family. No one will not love you less just because you are a girl.

On the contrary, look at your grandparents, your parents, and all the elders in your family, including your brothers—who among them doesn't love and pamper you?

But you also need to know that you can't take advantage of being spoiled, you can't throw tantrums because of it, and you can't bully others, understand?

“Dad, I would never bully others. They are already pitiful enough because they are not liked by their elders at home. Why would I bully them?”

Although I don't know what my daughter meant, I'll still ask her.

"Why? Because the elders don't like you."

"I don't know, but I do know that whenever there's something good to eat in their house, the boys get it first, and then the rest are given to the boys."
