In Xiaokang and Xiaoqi's room, Tian Mingwu was patiently listening to Xiaokang complaining to him about the things that had happened and the grievances he had suffered during the years he was away.
When Xiaokang first found out that the general who had saved him was his biological father, he couldn't believe it. He never expected that the father he had been thinking about in his dreams would appear in front of him.
She hugged him happily, but burst into tears while laughing, "Daddy, why did you come so late? Mom is gone, and my sister suffered so much to raise me, and she almost died too..."
Listening to Xiaokang's sobbing and intermittent words, Tian Mingwu's heart was torn into a ball. What kind of suffering did his wife and children have to endure during the days he was away!
When he heard that Xiaokang's wife was tortured to death when he was only one year old, a gentle and beautiful figure suddenly emerged in Tian Mingwu's mind. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not remember the woman's appearance or even her name.
At this moment, Tian Mingwu really hated that he was injured in the head. If he was injured elsewhere, even if it was a broken arm or foot, he would be willing to do it as long as he didn't forget his wife and children.
Xiaokang was still young and didn't understand many things, nor could he explain them clearly. After hugging Tian Mingwu and crying out all the grievances in his heart, he was tired and fell asleep.
After Xiaokang fell asleep, Tian Mingwu talked to Xiaoqi for a while until the little guy was sleepy, then he carried him to bed to sleep with Xiaokang.
After all the hustle and bustle, lunch time was already past. The two little ones had already had lunch, so it was time for them to take a nap. Since they were already asleep, let them sleep.
Tian Mingwu, however, was so hungry that his stomach growled. Seeing him leave, Chun Xi hurriedly led him to the dining room.
Tian An had someone deliver the food to Mr. Han and Granny Qin early in the morning. At this time, only Tian An, Zhao Yiming, Qin Wen, and Shen Cheng were in the dining room waiting.
The spicy and tempting red soup hot pot was bubbling. Seeing Tian Mingwu coming, Tian An put the meat and vegetables into the pot.
The bowls and chopsticks had been laid out long ago. As soon as Tian Mingwu sat down, Tian An invited the three of them to start eating. "Don't be polite. Just help yourself to whatever you want to eat."
Qin Wen and Chen Cheng were both used to being outside and were very casual. They also felt that Tian An was their eldest daughter, which meant she was a family member, so they didn't even think about being polite.
But Tian Mingwu felt that there was no need to be polite in front of his daughter's house.
So Tian An's polite words were really just polite words.
The three of them hadn't had a normal meal for a long time, and they were hungry for a long time today. After seeing how Tian An and Zhao Yiming ate, they started to cook meat and vegetables themselves. Tian Mingwu ate by himself, and did not forget to take the time to pick up some food for Tian An.
In addition to the dishes that had been prepared earlier, Tian An asked someone to add four plates of meat, two rounds of vegetables, and two bowls of rice before the three of them were finally full.
Seeing the three people eating like this, Tian An couldn't help but ask, "How many meals have you been hungry?"
Chen Cheng said quickly: "We haven't had a full meal in a long time."
Qin Wen pulled him, and he quickly changed his words, "Actually, I ate too much, so I always feel hungry."
After lunch, Tian Mingwu asked Tian An and his friends when they would set off.
Tian An looked confused and asked, "Departure? Where to?"
Tian Mingwu said as a matter of course: "Of course we are going back to the General's Mansion! Dad came here specifically to take you back to the General's Mansion."
Tian An subconsciously said, "I'm not going."
Tian Mingwu was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said anxiously, "My daughter, are you still refusing to acknowledge your father?"
Tian An was afraid that he would go crazy again like he did earlier, so he immediately smoothed things over, "No, I didn't deny you, don't get excited."
"Then why don't you want to go back with me?" Tian Mingwu stared at Tian An, as if he would get angry if she didn't give a reasonable reason.
Tian An thought about it again and again, opened his mouth again and again, and finally said: "I told you not to be sad."
Tian Mingwu thought for a long time but couldn't think of any reason Tian An could come up with that would make him sad, so he could only go along with her and said, "You said, I'm not sad."
"If I'm not mistaken, you're the general they were talking about in the Wounded Soldier Village!"
When Tian Mingwu heard about the Wounded Soldiers Village, his back straightened up a lot, and he nodded confidently and said, "Yes, that's right, it's me." Yes! He also has a mansion.
But the next second, Tian An said, "They say you are the poorest general."
Tian Mingwu was stunned, Qin Wen and Chen Cheng were also stunned, and then the three of them looked at each other guiltily.
Qin Wen took over the conversation: "Miss, the general is actually not as poor as they say. He still has the General's Mansion and the farm in the Wounded Soldier Village. I think he also has a shop."
"Then why do they say that even though my father is a general, he still has to wear patched clothes?"
Tian An hesitated for a moment and could only call out "Father". Although she longed for fatherly love in her heart, she was an adult soul after all. She couldn't call a man who was only a few years older than her "Dad", at least not now.
When Tian Mingwu heard that his daughter was willing to call her father, he was very happy.
But when he heard his daughter talking about the patch, he immediately covered his knees with his hands out of guilt, obviously trying to cover up his guilt.
After a while, seeing that he could no longer hide it, he could only put his hand down awkwardly and stammered, "I, I am, saving, yes, saving."
For some reason, Tian An felt a little sad. Although Tian Mingwu hadn't sent a single word home in all these years, his military service was originally planned by Old Lady Wang and Li Dazhu.
Later, he injured his head again and couldn't remember anything. He had no relatives or friends and was alone in the outside world. It seemed that he had never had a good life. He was also a pitiful man.
Tian An was still in a daze. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Tian Mingwu thought that she despised him for being poor. He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. "My daughter, Dad, I'm going to go make money tomorrow. Can you come home with me?"
Tian An came back to his senses and said, "No need..."
When Tian Mingwu heard Tian An say that it was not necessary, he stood up excitedly before she finished speaking and said, "My daughter, I will go now and make money instead of waiting for tomorrow. You wait for me, ah..."
As he spoke, he strode out. Before Tian An could react, he had already disappeared. Zhao Yiming could only rush to catch him.
Zhao Yiming caught up with him when he was almost at the gate. Even though he was held back, he was still anxiously trying to shake Zhao Yiming off, "Hey! Don't hold me! Don't stop me from making money to take my daughter home."
Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Zhao Yiming had to interrupt him and asked, "Father-in-law, what are you planning to do to make money?"
Tian Mingwu finally stopped. That's right! How can I make money? When he couldn't figure it out, he went to see Qin Wen and Shen Cheng.
It’s a pity that if they knew how to make money, how could the general’s mansion be so poor?
Tian An finally caught up with the others and grabbed Tian Mingwu. He gasped and said, "Don't go and make money. You can go back to the General's Mansion, but you have to listen to me."
