One of his comrades, with gray hair, stepped forward and looked at Bian Qihua, who wasn't using a cane.
He stepped forward and put his hand on Bian Qihua's shoulder as usual, saying, "Old Bian, it's great to see you here as energetic and lively as ever. By the way, I heard from others that your biological daughter has been found. Where is she? Let me see her. If I remember correctly, she should be in her early twenties this year, right?"
“I understand that this was your wish. Now that the person has been found, that’s good. As for the past, let’s not think about it anymore.”
Bian Qihua nodded and said, "It's been found. It's inside now. You guys wait outside first. My daughter is pregnant, so I wanted to tell her first. I was afraid you'd disturb her."
If someone overheard their conversation, their jaw would probably drop.
You should know that Bian Qihua is now facing either first-class or second-class merit awards, which are very rare. After all, many people say that there is no first-class merit award while alive.
But now Bian Qihua has a pile of them in front of him.
Hearing the noise, Wenrou came out of the room. When they saw her, they all greeted her, saying, "Professor Wen."
Wenrou was also taken aback when she saw them.
He quickly went over and greeted them, "Why are you all here? Come in and have a seat."
Su Miaoyan and Lu Ting came out when they heard the commotion.
Upon seeing Lu Ting and Su Miaoyan, one of their comrades exclaimed, "Is this your baby? She's so beautiful! I feel like she doesn't look like you at all!"
She gave him a gentle, reproachful look: "Look at what you're saying, how is that not right?"
After Su Miaoyan and Lu Ting realized what was happening, they understood that this group of people must have a very good relationship with Wenrou and Bian Qihua.
When they saw Lu Ting, they said, "This is your daughter's husband, your son-in-law? He's quite the handsome man! Congratulations, Lao Bian!"
Wenrou and Bian Qihua exchanged a glance, really wanting to kick this group of people out too.
But knowing they were there to visit him, he invited them in.
Just as they were about to go inside, some more people arrived.
Hearing the noise, the two of them turned around and looked.
These people were dressed in proper Zhongshan suits, and they were obviously leaders from higher-ups who were there to offer their condolences.
When they saw who it was, everyone was startled. It wasn't...
Bian Qihua quickly went up to him and said, "What brings you here?"
The man smiled and said, "I've come to see you. I heard you're feeling better."
Bian Qihua waved his hand: "I'm just getting better. How could I trouble you with such a small matter? Your time is very precious, you don't need to waste it on such trivial things."
The man shook his head: "Without you, we wouldn't have the happy life we have today. Our Yanjing Military Region will always be proud of you."
He then took out a bag from behind and handed it over, saying, "This is something my superiors have ordered me to give you. Please take it."
Bian Qihua did not open the box immediately, but instead put it away.
He saluted the other party.
After nodding to him, the man said, "Then I'll be going now."
Bian Qihua maintained his military salute posture and did not move.
The man didn't say much, and after giving the things to Bian Qihua, he got into his car and left.
The others, witnessing this scene, also saluted the departing people.
This made Su Miaoyan and Lu Ting, who were standing nearby, very curious about the other person's identity.
Strangely, after that person left, no one mentioned him again.
Su Miaoyan knew that curiosity killed the cat, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Looking at the group of soldiers, Su Miaoyan learned from Bian Qihua's conversation with them that...
These people had all participated in real wars, and the wounds on their bodies were sustained during those wars.
Su Miaoyan couldn't help but sigh. The peace we enjoy today was gradually achieved with the blood and flesh of our ancestors. Peace is hard-won, and we should cherish it even more.
After thinking for a moment, Su Miaoyan added some spiritual spring water to the tea while serving it to the soldiers.
There's plenty of spiritual spring water in the space, and these soldiers are all heroes. Giving it to them is a way of contributing to China.
With that in mind, she added a few more drops.
Everyone chatted and laughed, while white clouds drifted by outside and a gentle breeze ruffled everyone's hair. In the golden autumn season, everything was so beautiful, so tranquil, and so peaceful.
Days passed by, and before we knew it, autumn turned to winter. A layer of gloom covered the sky above Yanjing City, and three months had passed without us even realizing it.
At the end of the lunar year, everyone began to prepare for the New Year.
The military is also discussing leave for visiting family.
Knowing that Lu Ting was going back, they bought a train ticket for each of them.
Knowing that Wenrou, Bian Qihua, and the others were all going back, they gave them return tickets.
These days, when there are people at home, Su Miaoyan doesn't go into her space; when no one is home, she goes into her space to do things like planting.
Because in real life, she wanted to farm, but her parents wouldn't let her.
These days, Wenrou and Bian Qihua have also moved to the Yanjing Military Region.
The couple originally lived near the university town for convenience in commuting to and from get off work, but since the policy hasn't been relaxed yet, Wenrou isn't in a hurry. They'll keep the house there for now and move in to spend time with their daughter first.
Wenrou and Bian Qihua would often take Su Miaoyan out for walks, and the three of them had a wonderful time living together.
The New Year is fast approaching, and the military has started giving out leave to visit family.
Considering the physical condition of Bian Qihua and Wenrou, the higher-ups changed their hard sleeper berths to soft sleeper berths.
For the past few months, Su Miaoyan has been consistently giving Wenrou and Bian Qihua spiritual spring water, which has led to a significant improvement in their health.
Dr. Liu also said that if the two of them remain in this condition for a while, they can schedule Wenrou's surgery around the New Year.
Su Miaoyan was very happy about this, because seeing her parents getting healthier and healthier is a blessing.
"Buzzing—"
The train made a rumbling sound.
Because of their special status, the four of them used the emergency exit. Originally, Lu Ting didn't plan to go up, but his wife was pregnant, so after thinking about it, he decided to go anyway.
The four of them were seated together, and they had brought plenty of food with them for the journey.
Nowadays, not many people travel in soft sleeper carriages. Those who can afford it are generally either wealthy or influential, or from middle-class or well-off families.
They had a very smooth journey and arrived in Chengdu before they knew it.
When Su Miaoyan saw this place she had been away from for so long, she felt a pang of sadness.
It was here that she lived for over twenty years, met Lu Ting, and experienced a series of events.
Unexpectedly, almost a year later, she has finally returned.
