Separation is for the sake of protecting those we want to protect.
People are distressed because they fear that parting will be forever, nothing more.
Time was of the essence, so Qin and Zhang immediately took action, and Zhao also came to help.
Qin Yulin remained sullen after returning to his room.
Qin Tianhai went outside and walked around his familiar village. He didn't know if he would ever come back, so he wanted to see the familiar village roads again.
I don't want to get lost in the future.
There are others like him.
They looked at each other in silence, only nodding and smiling in greeting.
Qin Tianhai walked around and arrived at the Qin family's new house, his eyes filled with satisfaction and pride.
His daughter is second to none, and that is her achievement.
The horse carried Qin Jin'an over and affectionately nuzzled Qin Tianhai, who then pulled a handful of beans from his pocket.
"Yu Bao, don't forget the words your grandfather taught you."
Qin Tianhai had a kind smile.
Qin Jin'an's face was flushed, and her eyes crinkled with laughter, making people want to laugh along with her.
Qin Jin'an nodded obediently: "I will definitely remember."
She reached out her hand for Qin Tianhai to help her down from the horse.
The white dot was playing by itself not far away.
Qin Tianhai led Qin Jin'an through the village, telling her many interesting stories.
Qin Jin'an listened attentively: "I want to farm in the future too!"
She's never grown anything before, which sounds very interesting.
She will be very happy to grow her own crops and then harvest them. She is a healthy child now and wants to be a farm girl so that she can cut pig feed with Wang Cui and the others in the future!
Qin Tianhai nodded with a smile: "Then you'd better work hard. Farming is the foundation of being a person. Your mother can do everything, so you'll have to learn from her."
It was getting dark, so he led Qin Jin'an home for dinner.
The family was all getting along well, just like always.
Qin Yulin, who had been sulking, stopped being angry.
He ate more meat and rice than Qin Tianhai.
As they were to set off at midnight, Qin Tianhai could only sigh and think how wonderful it was to be young.
He can't eat that much, but he has plenty of dry food to bring.
This kid is probably venting all his frustration on food.
Qin Tianhai couldn't help but smile.
There's nothing else to explain; everything that needed to be arranged has been taken care of.
After tidying up, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
Qin Yulin returned to the house, and he held Zhao's hand, feeling very guilty.
"Lan'er, I'm sorry."
He couldn't bear to watch his child be born; he was filled with guilt.
Zhao smiled, leaned on Qin Yulin's arm, and said gently, "The children and I are waiting for you at home."
Zhao did not blame Qin Yulin because she understood him.
So when she returned to her room during the day, she gave Qin Yulin some advice.
Her father-in-law loved his children, so he insisted on going himself, but Qin Yulin couldn't let him go; their ideas were different, and she supported her husband.
The father and son can't really fight, can they? The father-in-law is a scholar, and he can't match the husband's strength. When we go out, we can just knock the father-in-law unconscious.
By the time her father-in-law woke up, the procession had already gone quite far.
By then, there will be no blame, only heartache and worry.
"I will definitely come back."
Qin Yulin kissed Zhao's forehead, assuring her that he would definitely come back alive.
Zhao also believed that he had this ability.
"By the way, after I leave, keep an eye on Yu Bao. Don't let her say anything. She's finally healthy again. My little sister has already worked so hard. I can't help her much. I just don't want to be a burden to her. I don't need any blessings. I can manage on my own. Only when I'm capable enough will I not become someone like Su Chang'an."
Qin Yulin instructed Zhao Shi that this was another matter he was determined to do.
He didn't want to become someone like Su Chang'an.
Zhao nodded: "Don't worry, I will remind Yu Bao."
Having witnessed Qin Jin'an's near death, she wouldn't plead for anything. Everyone has their own destiny, and she believed Qin Yulin would return alive.
As long as he comes back alive, it doesn't matter if he's injured.
Qin Yulin was relieved and gently placed his hand on Zhao's abdomen.
"Good boy, Daddy's going to the battlefield. Be good in your mother's belly, and be good when you're born. Don't let your mother suffer, okay?"
Qin Yulin didn't care whether the child could understand or not; he just said what he wanted to say.
Zhao let him have his way; she was the only one who had ever seen this side of Qin Yulin, and her heart was filled with sweetness.
"Why don't you give the child a name?"
Zhao said to Qin Yulin.
She was conscripted at that time and wouldn't be back for at least six months. She was already seven months pregnant, so Qin Yulin definitely wouldn't be home when she gave birth.
She wanted him to name the child.
Qin Yulin paused for a moment before answering, "My name is not good. My father is very learned, and he chose a good one."
Zhao shook her head and continued, "I want you to take it. You are the father of our child. You should take it."
Qin Yulin hadn't thought about this issue before, but Zhao asked him to, so he started thinking about it.
He began to think about what kind of expectations he would have for his child.
If it's a boy, he doesn't have many requirements. He just wants someone who is down-to-earth, hardworking, honest, able to protect his wife and children, and able to shoulder the responsibilities of a man.
If it were a daughter, he would have no further requirements. He just wanted her to be like his younger sister or Lan'er, with her own thoughts, daring to think and act, and with the family backing her up.
What name should I choose?
Zhao didn't urge her, since there were still a few hours until midnight and she could come up with a name.
Qin Yulin felt a sensation in his palm; it was the baby moving inside Zhao's belly.
After a while, the night grew deeper.
"Lan'er, I've been thinking. If it's a boy, I'll name him Qin Yansong, meaning as tenacious as a stone and as upright and unyielding as a pine tree."
"If it's a daughter, name her Qin Zhen, as precious as a pearl, born to shine. When she grows up, she will be as gentle and intelligent as you, and as thoughtful as her younger sister. With you all by her side, I think she will definitely grow into a smart and brave woman."
Qin Yulin thought about it carefully for a long time before coming up with these two names.
With tears in her eyes, Zhao nodded: "Okay, the son will be named Qin Yansong, and the daughter will be named Qin Zhen."
It's almost midnight.
Zhao leaned against Qin Yulin's chest, feeling a deep sense of reluctance.
Qin Yulin held her close, his heart filled with reluctance.
"I'll come back after we drive the enemy back. I won't be by your side this time, but I'm not worried because you have Dad, Mom, and my little sister. Next time, I'll definitely be there for you."
Qin Yulin said softly.
Zhao smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's a deal. You have to come with me next time."
By the time it was three o'clock, everyone in the family had gotten up.
Everyone was quiet.
Zhang handed the bundle to Qin Tianhai: "I'll wait for you to come back."
Qin Tianhai nodded. He looked back at Zhang Shi and then at the child. He said to Qin Yulin, "As the eldest brother, you are the pillar of the family, even though your father is gone."
Qin Yulin nodded, walked over, and without saying a word, struck Qin Tianhai on the back of the neck. Qin Tianhai didn't have time to react, only glared at him, and passed out before he could even utter a single "you".
