She patted her daughter's shoulder gently, her eyes full of tenderness and longing.
However……
At this moment, the neighbors outside the house screamed.
"It's Director Guo's lover, General Liu."
"General Liu really has returned, this is incredible.
I have heard that Director Guo’s lover is a founding general, and today I am really enlightened.”
"Quick! Go tell Director Guo that General Liu is back."
…
When Liu Rumeng heard the shouting outside, she also widened her eyes, and then immediately shouted in surprise
“It’s Daddy!
Mom, it’s really Dad who is back.
I'm going to pick up Dad."
Having said that, she jumped up immediately like a little child and ran out of the door with joy in her heart.
Her steps were brisk, as if she had returned to the days of a carefree little girl.
really……
As soon as she walked out of the house, she saw a man standing in front of a jeep parked at the entrance of the alley. He was wearing a green military uniform, tall and majestic. He was her father, Liu Guopeng, whom she would always rely on.
The sunlight shines on him, outlining his resolute figure.
"dad……"
With a tearful cry, Liu Rumeng rushed into her father's arms like she did when she was a child.
"Mengmeng! You are my Mengmeng. My Mengmeng has grown so big!"
Liu Guopeng gently held his daughter in his arms, his mouth almost unable to close with smile.
Over the years, he had imagined countless times in his mind what his daughter would look like when she grew up, and today he finally saw her in person.
His eyes were full of love as he gently stroked his daughter's hair.
"Dad! After all these years, I really miss you.
Our family is finally reunited today."
Liu Rumeng said with tears of joy as she felt her father's familiar embrace.
She hugged her father tightly, as if she was afraid that he would leave again.
"Yes! After all the hardship comes happiness, Mengmeng, our family is finally reunited. Let's go! Mom is in the room, right?
I have great news to share with you.”
Under the gaze of the neighbors, Liu Guopeng took his daughter's hand and returned to the small, cramped room.
The neighbors followed them with eyes full of envy and admiration.
"Old Liu, you finally decided to come back."
As soon as she saw her husband, Guo Linxian looked full of resentment.
The last time I was rehabilitated, I only saw him for a few minutes before he left in a hurry.
No matter who it is, they will feel sad.
She stood up with a hint of anger in her eyes.
"Ah Xian! I'm sorry.
I am the one who made you worry and concerned."
Liu Guopeng smiled and took out a medal from his pocket and said to them, "But the hard work is worth it.
Did you see it?
This is the first military medal I received after my rehabilitation, a first-class collective merit."
His face beamed with pride as he handed the medals to his wife and daughter.
Liu Rumeng looked at her father with admiration and pride, wiped her tears, smiled and praised: "Dad! Mengmeng has known since she was a child that you are a great hero and a great contributor."
Her eyes sparkled with admiration.
"Not bad! You are worthy of being my man. You have only been rehabilitated for such a short time, and you have already made such a great contribution. It's not easy!"
Guo Linxian knew that her husband's work was a military secret, but from his meritorious service this time, she could already guess something.
She just lamented that her husband had devoted his life to the country, so naturally they would be apart from their small family less and less.
She took the medal, looked at it carefully, her eyes full of satisfaction.
"Of course not!
Although I cannot tell you in detail, this time, the troops I am in really raised the national prestige."
Liu Guopeng laughed and patted his chest proudly.
His laughter is hearty, full of confidence and heroism.
However, at this moment, he looked at his daughter and wife in the room and immediately felt something was wrong and asked:
"Wait! How come... why is Mengmeng the only one back?
When I first came in, I felt something was wrong.
It turns out that I didn’t see Mengmeng’s husband, my good son-in-law. Where is he?
Ah Xian, before I left, didn’t I ask you to bring my son-in-law back to Shanghai for me to see?
A big part of the reason why I hurriedly asked for leave to come back this time was to see my good son-in-law!"
Liu Guopeng found that after he said this, both his daughter and his wife were avoiding his gaze.
So he asked again: "Why? The son-in-law didn't come?
Or...after you came here, you drove them back to the countryside?"
When saying these words, Liu Guopeng's tone became serious.
He frowned slightly, his eyes revealing confusion and dissatisfaction.
He knew that his wife still had some of the qualities of a petty-bourgeois lady, who thought highly of herself and looked down on country people.
Guo Linxian also knew her husband's character, so she said directly: "Mengmeng's husband Lin Huowang didn't come to Shanghai. When I went to pick Mengmeng up, Mengmeng divorced Lin Huowang."
She bit her lip, seeming helpless.
"Divorce? Why divorce?
Ah Xian, was it you who forced Meng Meng to divorce him?
Didn’t I say that before?
Bring my son-in-law to Shanghai first so I can take a good look at his character.
As long as you have good character, everything else is not a problem. Farmers! So what if I'm a farmer?
Whose ancestors for three generations weren’t farmers?
Besides, they extended a helping hand to Mengmeng when she was in trouble.
As soon as I saw Mengmeng's condition, I knew she didn't suffer much after getting married.
But how could you do such a thing, causing Mengmeng and Lin Huowang to divorce, isn't this... isn't this totally ungrateful?
No! Mengmeng, I will contact a special plane right now. You and I will go to the Northeast and bring your husband to Shanghai. Dad supports you and Lin Huowang to remarry..."
Liu Guopeng became more and more excited as he spoke. He paced back and forth in the room, his face full of anxiety and anger.
