Tang Ran was carrying a lot of bags, and she looked like a married daughter returning to her parents' home.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back!"
As soon as the door opened, Tang Ran's bright smile froze on her face.
This was different from what she expected!
"Comrade Xiao Tang is here, come in quickly."
Tang Ran remembered the person who spoke. She suddenly became alert and looked carefully at the five people in the room except her parents. It was over.
“He must have just returned from a mission.
Sister Qi, you are so lucky! Your daughter is beautiful, capable, and filial. I don’t know which boy will marry her in the future.
Lu Jinshu, who came in later and heard this, straightened his back and said nothing, but he understood.
Qi Min understood that person. He glanced at him casually and knew what was going on.
"No, I was on vacation and went out for a walk."
"That's right, it's time to have a good rest. If it weren't for Comrade Lu and little Tang, we would have been trapped to death in the United States.
Whenever I think of the scene where Xiao Tang and the others rescued us, my blood boils. We knew that China would not abandon us!
Tang Ran felt like she was on the verge of being exposed and dancing wildly.
"Uncles and aunts, eat candy, eat candy!"
After eating her candy, don’t say anything you shouldn’t say.
"I actually think blowing up that transport ship and the port is satisfying. Our Xiao Ran is really capable!"
"Auntie, have some candy! Mom and Dad, have some candy!"
That’s a good point, but don’t say it next time. It’s just a small thing I have to say, and I’ve already let it all out.
Tang Ran secretly glanced at her parents' expressions. Great, it seemed like she had been exposed a long time ago...
Next, Tang Ran was as well-behaved as she could be. Whenever her uncles and aunts praised her, she would smile and nod, saying things like "No, no", "Of course, of course", and "Just like my parents". Then her hands would keep moving, peeling peanuts for Comrade Tang and melon seeds for Ms. Qi. A good reunion and family gathering turned into a commendation meeting for Tang Ran alone, which was equivalent to roasting her on the fire.
My brain is about to burn out from answering all the questions. It's already like this, why is she still hiding something? If she confesses, she will be treated leniently, while if she resists, she will be treated severely. It would be better for her to explain everything herself.
"The only pity is that we didn't bring back our research data. Remembering it in our heads alone isn't enough, so we can only start from scratch. And then there's all that experimental equipment..."
"I've taken them all back and handed them over to Commander Fang..."
Everyone: …………
After another round of praise, the five enthusiastic uncles and aunts left reluctantly. Before leaving, they looked at Tang Ran with eyes that were almost tearful, which made Tang Ran very surprised.
"Dad, Mom, I was wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have done something so dangerous and made you worry."
Qi Min sighed, walked forward and held Tang Ran in his arms.
"Ranran, do you know how proud your father and I were when those uncles and aunts told us how brave and outstanding you were? Of course, we felt more heartbroken.
But mom and dad know that you have grown up and have your own ideals and ideas.
We are just the ones who gave birth to you and raised you, but we have no right to control your life. Compared to setting many rules and regulations for you, we hope that you can grow and live freely.
But mom and dad just hope that before you do something, you will tell us first if it does not violate the rules, or we will be the first to know about these things afterwards.
We don't want to hear about you from other people.
We also know that you hid it from us just because you were afraid we would worry, but we are parents, and it is natural for us to care about our precious daughter."
Tang Ran felt inexplicably sad in her heart. She tried to hold it back for a long time but couldn't help crying. She hugged Qi Min and burst into tears. Seeing this, Tang Kangnian also walked forward and hugged the mother and daughter. Lu Jinshu, who was standing aside, seemed to have no sense of existence.
He knew better than Tang Kangnian and Qi Min why Tang Ran had such big mood swings.
In his previous life, Tang Ran's parents died early, just like he lost his mother very early. A child who lacks love like this may not show any emotions in front of outsiders, but when he is alone, he always imagines what his parents are like. Tang Kangnian and Qi Min should be what Tang Ran once imagined, or even better.
"That's enough. You're already so old and still crying. Let Xiao Lu laugh at you."
"He won't laugh at me."
Qi Min smiled from the bottom of her heart. It seemed that Lu Jinshu was very nice to Tang Ran.
Qi Min also told Tang Kangnian about her guess. Tang Kangnian was out of character and glared at her. She was only sixteen years old, how could Lu Jinshu dare to think about her.
Lu Jinshu naturally became the couple's target of investigation, so when Tang Kangnian heard Tang Ran's words, he gave Lu Jinshu an awkward look.
Lu Jinshu is so smart, he understood it instantly and became more eager to show off.
The three members of the Tang family were chatting over there, and Lu Jinshu was either pouring water or peeling fruit for them, being extremely attentive.
"Xiao Lu, stop working and sit down. Let's chat."
"Mom and Dad, I promised Lu Jinshu in advance that I would give him half of my parents. Don't worry about it. He can do whatever he wants."
Tang Kangnian: ..., his heart was broken into eight pieces.
Tang Ran glanced at Lu Jinshu, asking with her eyes if Lu Jinshu could tell her everything. Lu Jinshu smiled back, which was considered as her agreement.
So Tang Ran started chattering, describing Lu Jinshu's situation as miserable as possible.
Tang Kangnian's heart was still broken. She originally resented Lu Jinshu for stealing her flowers while they were not around Tang Ran, but now she was filled with heartache.
