Qian Xing looked up at Tang Shengkai, then at Uncle Xu. Seeing Uncle Xu nod, he gritted his teeth. "My father told me to go to the South Island to find you. If you've really been persecuted by spies, he wants me to find a way to avenge you."
If I can still find you, let me serve in the army on the South Island, to toughen me up, so I won't end up like him, confessing everything under duress from secret agents.
Tang Yue smiled after hearing this, but she didn't say anything.
Tang Shengkai felt he understood what Uncle Qian meant, but he still didn't quite get it. "Sigh, Uncle Qian is really overthinking things. Xingzi, Nandao is really quite far away. The conditions there are actually not as good as ours."
Qian Xing nodded, "Third Brother, it's alright. I can manage."
Tang Shengkai felt a little guilty. He thought he should talk to the battalion commander about Qian Xing's entry into the army. Since he had made a contribution this time, it shouldn't be difficult to agree to let someone join the army.
"Okay, I'll ask around for you when I get back to the South Island. There shouldn't be any problems."
Tang Yue's lips curled slightly. She didn't know who owed whom, but oh well, they were the ones who owed the other a favor, and they should repay it. If they didn't have any ulterior motives, she wouldn't mind introducing them.
"Second Uncle, it's getting late. Let's go out for dinner first, and then you can get some rest when you get back. You came all the way from Shenyang, right? That's quite a journey, you must be tired."
After having dinner together, Tang Shengkai and Tang Yue took the three of them to the guesthouse. They left them money and tickets and then left.
"Daughter, what do you think?"
Tang Yue was surprised; she hadn't expected her father to think so much. Tang Yue laughed, "Haha, Dad, I don't know either. Let's just take it one step at a time."
Tang Shengkai pulled Tang Yue's hand and walked towards the army base, his eyes looking ahead. "Hey, your Grandpa Qian said he wanted Qian Xing to come with us, but for some reason, they didn't let Qian Xing come in the end."
We were having such a tough time back then, and we didn't know what the future held. I didn't have the nerve to ask you, Grandpa Qian, whether Qian Xing was willing to stay with us or not.
But now, it's suddenly come knocking on our door, neither a holiday nor a festival.
Do you think Dad wouldn't overthink it?
Tang Yue shook Tang Shengkai's hand, "Dad, if there's a problem, it'll come out sooner or later. Since he wants to join the army, let him join. It's safer to keep an eye on him."
Tang Shengkai was in low spirits. "Your Grandpa Xu, sigh, he's been a barefoot doctor his whole life. If anything really happens to him, it'll really be because of your father. Daughter, let's keep a close eye on them. If they don't make any big mistakes, let's help them as much as we can."
Tang Yue kept saying "hmm" as she walked forward.
It's not difficult at all. As long as the source is dealt with, they will have no source of blackmail and naturally will not make any mistakes.
Tang Yue knew very well that if it weren't for their family, ordinary people like them would probably never have gotten involved with spies in their lives. If it was their fault, they would definitely take the blame themselves.
As the two reached the gate of the military base, they saw a familiar figure standing outside. Tang Yue let go of Tang Shengkai's hand and ran over, "Sister Lai, did you come to see me?"
Tang Yue was very happy; she had just met Lai Xiang yesterday. When she returned home that evening, she remembered the package she had received earlier. Taking the letter out of her spatial storage, she discovered that Lai Xiang had sent her the bicycle, sewing machine, and electric fan she had wanted.
Tang Yue was very happy; Sister Lai truly cared about her. However, while she accepted the gifts, she certainly couldn't let Sister Lai pay for them. She was thinking of going to see Sister Lai again sometime to give her the money and tickets.
I never expected to run into you today. "Little Yueyue! What a coincidence! You went out? I thought I couldn't find you."
"Hmm, this means I'm destined to be with Sister Lai. Sister Lai, how did you know I was here?"
Tang Yue suddenly remembered that they hadn't mentioned which military unit she was in when they chatted yesterday. How did Sister Lai manage to find her here so quickly?
Lai Xiang had a gut feeling that her uncle was hiding something from her, but he was also urging her to come and find Tang Yue. Lai Xiang was annoyed by his constant nagging, so she decided to come and check. She planned to just ask the security guard a question and then leave.
But unexpectedly, I ran into Xiaoyueyue at the door. "Xiaoyueyue, my uncle said that my aunt and cousin didn't greet you when they saw you yesterday. You sent a lot of delicious food home last time, and they wanted to thank you."
Please come to my house for a casual meal. When would you be available?
Lai Xiang spoke these words without any emotion, as if she were simply repeating what someone else had said, and there was no joy on her face.
Tang Yue calmed down and asked, "Sister Lai, you... you're staying at your aunt's house?"
Tang Yue assumed Lai Xiang was from a wealthy family based on her clothes and appearance.
Lai Xiang smiled and took Tang Yue's hand. "Well, my parents are both in Northeast China. My mom thinks it's too dry and cold there and doesn't want me to suffer. So when I was very young, my mom sent me to my aunt's house."
"Oh. Sister Lai, is it your aunt or your uncle who's inviting me to dinner?"
Lai Xiang looked around and pulled Tang Yue aside. Her expression became more serious. "Little Yueyue, to tell you the truth, my uncle rarely talks to me, and he doesn't care much about family matters."
After hearing your name yesterday, I felt he seemed quite interested in you. Little Yueyue, what have you been doing in the army?
"Is your aunt's husband in the military?"
"Yes, it's a division commander. But I don't know which division. They never tell me these things, and I've never asked."
