Seeing He Liping like this, Huo Bai was puzzled.
He asked, "Aren't you coming with us? I heard from Feiyi that your whole family are college graduates, which is exactly the kind of talent our new base needs! If you're so reluctant to leave your family, why don't you come with us?"
"Me? I can go too?" He Liping was genuinely surprised this time!
Huo Bai: "My orders this time are to bring your family back to Nanping. Nobody said you couldn't go! Aren't you a member of the He family?"
He Liping: "..."
"But……"
Not wanting to put his elder brother in a difficult position, He Lixuan spoke up for him, saying, "My elder brother is married, and my sister-in-law and niece are still in Jiannan."
Huo Bai waved his hand dismissively: "That's no problem. The commander had anticipated this situation before we came. We can easily ask other units for help with this."
Tell us if you'd like to come with us to guard the frontier. Let us make this clear first: conditions there aren't great, and the climate is vastly different from here.
If you're willing, once we get to the provincial capital, I'll call the Jiannan Military Region and ask our brother unit to send someone to put your wife and daughter on the train. We can meet up on the way.
Of course, all their subsequent paperwork and all the connections your family has will be taken care of in one go.
He Liping: "!"
This was an absolutely fantastic surprise for him!
What are bad conditions or drastically different climates compared to being able to live peacefully with family, and to being able to stand tall and be an upright person!
Without hesitation, he said, "I'm willing! Thank you for your trouble, Comrade Huo. I'll call my wife when I get to the provincial capital, and I'm sure she won't have any objections!"
Although both were leaving their hometowns, He Liping believed that his wife would choose him and abandon that other family.
Seeing that He Liping's problem had been resolved, Huo Bai smiled with relief.
He looked around at everyone and asked, "Any other questions?"
He Lixue hesitated before speaking.
Before he could speak, Huo Bai pointed at him and said, "I know you, He Lixue, the second son of the He family!"
He laughed as he spoke, "Before we came here, our commander had specially transferred your file from Beijing..."
He gave He Lixuan a thumbs up: "You're really amazing!"
He Lixue shook his head in shame.
Huo Bai smiled: "You are a precious treasure that our commander has been thinking about. Before I came here this time, he repeatedly told me that he must do his best to meet all your requests so that you can have no worries!"
Tell me what you need, and I'll do my best to fulfill it!
Huo Bai's words surprised everyone once again!
Everyone's eyes turned to He Lixue.
He Lixue hadn't been the center of attention like this in a long time, and he was so shy that he didn't know what to do.
A blush gradually returned to her face, which had been covered in bruises.
He hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't have any requests, I just wanted to ask Professor Liang..."
"Professor Liang definitely needs to be invited back as well!"
Huo Bai spoke respectfully, even using the word "please".
It's worth noting that when he mentioned taking Shiyue's family away, he used the word "take" instead of "please".
Upon hearing that Professor Liang would also be traveling with everyone, He Lixue beamed with joy.
He shook his head vigorously and refused to make any further requests.
As they discussed important matters for the future, Jiang Dong and Ye Pu'an naturally joined in to listen.
Knowing that the family was now completely safe, the two were genuinely happy.
Although they couldn't go with everyone and were reluctant to leave, none of them showed any resistance; they all sincerely congratulated everyone.
Only in early summer.
Chu Xia had already come out from the inner room upon hearing the noise and had listened to the whole thing.
Seeing everyone getting ready to move and set off, she looked around blankly, then asked, "What about me?"
She pointed to her nose and said, "Why doesn't anyone say anything to me? Aren't we family?"
Her voice trembled with tears as she spoke, and she looked at He Siyi: "Uncle, aren't you taking me with you?"
He Si also fell silent.
Everyone fell silent.
It's not that they didn't want to take Yu Chuxia with them, nor that they didn't treat her as family.
The key point is—no one knows how many years it will be before they return from this trip.
Huo Bai has already made it very clear that Commander Lü took them over to help Shi Yue protect their family, and that is absolutely true.
But equally important, Commander Lü and his team need to get involved in the construction of the new base!
The construction of any new place can take anywhere from a few years to a dozen years, or even several decades, and may even require the efforts of several generations.
They are now moving as a whole family, without any ties, but what about Chu Xia?
She is just a little girl.
Although she was sent to the countryside in Pingjiang, she had her parents and family in Jiannan.
Could it be that she can also go with everyone for decades?
Not to mention that He Siyi couldn't make this decision for her, even he himself couldn't agree to it!
He painstakingly explained this fact to Chu Xia.
Tears fell in early summer.
If she didn't understand before, now that her uncle has explained it, how could she not understand?
She can't possibly go with us.
Before she came, her parents promised her that they would let her stay here for a few years and that they would find a way to bring her back home if the family's situation improved.
