Brigade Commander Lin has struggled for most of his life, but this time he has truly and completely returned to square one.
He's already this old; his chances of making a comeback are slim...
He took the last of his savings and his belongings, and left home with a calm expression.
When people greet him on the street, he responds as enthusiastically as usual.
After driving into the city, he didn't go to see Lin's mother first, but went to the State Security Department's family compound.
He was driving a military vehicle, so the people at the gate didn't stop him; they just registered him and let him in.
The car stopped at the entrance of Xiao Che's courtyard.
The courtyard gate was open, and the pretty young girl was smiling more brightly than the flowers, playing hide-and-seek with two adorable little children.
He looked quietly at his daughter, who had changed so much, and his nose felt a little sore.
He couldn't remember the last time he'd seen a smile on his daughter's face. Once upon a time, he still held some expectations and affection for his first child.
Unfortunately, times have changed, and things are no longer the same.
"sorry……"
He knew he had never been a good husband or a good father, but at this moment, the person he couldn't let go of the most was Lin Huan.
He took the money and bills out of his pocket and stuffed them into an envelope. He then took out paper and pen, intending to write something.
I picked up the pen several times, but couldn't write a single word...
Finally, he closed his eyes, and his men began to write, which turned out to be a letter severing ties with his family.
He tore off another page and wrote only three words on it.
After getting off the bus, I silently waved to one of the little children.
When Da Bao saw the military uniform he was wearing, he subconsciously relaxed his guard.
He walked out smiling, and was about to call for help when Brigade Commander Lin put his index finger to his lips, signaling him to be quiet.
He handed the envelope to the little doll and pointed to the blindfolded girl inside.
Da Bao was very clever and immediately understood that the grandfather wanted him to give the letter to Aunt Huanhuan.
This is not difficult. Besides, if you look closely, this grandpa and Aunt Huanhuan look very alike. In a child's eyes, people who look alike are relatives, just like they are with their parents and grandparents.
Thinking of this, he nodded his little head and agreed.
Commander Lin smiled and ruffled his hair, then glanced at Lin Huan one last time before getting into the car and leaving without looking back.
Da Bao happily ran back with the letter in his hand.
"Aunt Huanhuan, Aunt Huanhuan, someone has delivered a letter for you!"
Lin Huan, who was still groping to catch the chicks, was stunned when she heard this and took off the blindfold.
Da Bao immediately held the envelope high in his hand. "It was given to me by a grandfather in a military uniform. He looks just like you, Aunt Huanhuan!"
Lin Huan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. Was it the person she was thinking of?
But will he come to see me?
While thinking, she didn't forget to take the letter. "Thank you, Jingxing. But remember, next time, never go if a stranger asks you to! And never accept anything from a stranger, understand?"
Bai Jingxing scratched his head, indicating his confusion, "Aunt Huanhuan, it's very safe here. That grandpa is a soldier, not a bad person!"
Most importantly, he looks like Aunt Huanhuan, and he doesn't go to any place just because someone calls him!
Lin Huan sighed and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll be more careful when I'm out, alright?"
"good!"
Xiao Bao then emerged from his hiding place. "Aren't you going to play anymore? Aunt Huanhuan, you can go ahead and do what you need to do. We can play by ourselves."
Lin Huan felt a surge of tenderness in her heart and gave each of them a piece of candy, saying, "Don't run around! Remember to come back for dinner."
"OK!"
After the children left the yard, she took a deep breath and opened the letter with trembling hands.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. Her feelings for Commander Lin were complicated, evolving from admiration and respect to resentment. She had gone through a long and difficult emotional journey alone, and now they were mutually disgusted.
When she saw the scattered pieces of money inside, her pupils dilated in shock.
