When the topic turned to her childhood, she inexplicably felt guilty, touched her nose, and looked at the sky, the ground, and out the window, but not at anyone.
She was indeed a little guilty. She had heard a lot about Xiao Che's childhood; he was like a little old-fashioned person, busy playing with guns, training, and studying every day, rarely as resilient as her...
The two little ones huffed and puffed as they carried their toys to the small hall to play. Several elders immediately followed, worried that they might bump into something.
Grandpa Xiao sat down and drank a cup of tea.
"Ya Jing, the situation is starting to improve this year. Our country has invited the table tennis team from Country A to come here in April. This is a crucial ice-breaking event."
Ah Che should be back soon. Things have stabilized over there, and he needs to come back to ensure information security here.
Bai Yajing understood immediately. The reason for inviting people from Country A was to ease tensions. However, since they were foreigners, to prevent the leakage of secrets and to avoid being contacted and recruited by those with ulterior motives, important personnel had to be carefully protected.
Xiao Che must return to oversee things.
"Grandpa, I understand. Our military hospital will probably send people to take care of their medical logistics as well. I will sign up then."
Since they were brought in from abroad, the government will definitely send people to ensure their safety so that doctors are always by their side if they experience any discomfort or acclimatization issues.
This is also to prevent others from taking advantage of the situation and causing the hard-won improved relations between the two countries to deteriorate again. It would be undesirable for the country to be attacked from both sides.
Grandpa Xiao nodded in satisfaction. It was so easy to talk to smart people; they understood everything immediately.
He has to be responsible for the safety of those people, so having his own people in the medical and logistical support makes him feel much more at ease.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
"Hehe, we're all family, Grandpa, you're too kind."
The thought that A-Che would be back soon filled her with an indescribable joy.
The couple has been separated for almost a year, unable to communicate or meet, so it would be a lie to say they don't miss each other.
"Mommy, Mommy, Daddy's coming back, coming back?"
"Mom, I want Dad..."
They weren't muffled, so everyone on the other side could hear them.
The two little ones haven't met their dad yet; they've only heard from others that he's a great hero.
They admired and were very curious about their father, whom they had never met.
Bai Yajing picked up the two little ones and answered them with a smile, "That's right, your dad has completed his mission on the front lines and will be back soon. Aren't you happy?"
"Mmm, I'm so happy!" one said, while the other clapped her little hands in response.
The two-year-old's big eyes were full of longing, clearly hoping that his father would come back and keep him company.
The family is heartbroken about this. The two children have never seen their father or experienced his love since they were little.
Grandpa Xiao sighed helplessly, "Alas! Since ancient times, loyalty to the country and filial piety have been difficult to reconcile. Balancing the greater good and the personal life is so challenging..."
He went through the same thing; there were many things he couldn't control. He was only able to rely on his wives to take care of the family, otherwise, how could they have peace of mind to protect their country?
Bai Yajing affectionately pecked the two little ones on the cheek. "Your dad loves you very much. When he comes back, he will definitely treat you well."
"Yes! I want Daddy to play with me!"
"Play with us!"
Their vocabulary wasn't very extensive, but everyone could understand them, and their sweet, childlike voices softened the hearts of everyone present.
