"Oh? Now you know she's your wife and my mom. When you were pretending Chen Shuling was your wife, why didn't you think of this today? Dad, you're getting on in years. Just live your own life from now on and stop worrying about things."
As Gu Huanian spoke, he grabbed Gu Aiguo and pushed him out of the courtyard.
"My mom still has something to talk to Uncle Liu about, so you shouldn't come here too often if you don't have anything else to do."
Gu Aiguo: "......."
"I can ignore your mother's situation, but you have to come with me tomorrow..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Huanian interrupted him, saying, "Since you like her so much and you're single now, then you should marry her."
"Gu Huanian!!!"
Gu Huanian ignored his roar and rode away on his bicycle.
When Su Li saw him arrive, her expression was even colder than before; "Why aren't you with your blind date? What are you doing here?"
Actually, he was going to chase after Su Li when she left.
When they reached the fork in the road, they ran into a high-ranking official who was conducting an inspection, which is why they couldn't catch up with her.
The senior leader, seeing Gu Huanian's anxious expression, smiled and asked, "What's wrong? What trouble have you encountered?"
Gu Huanian watched Su Li's disappearing figure, thinking he would explain later, but for now, he would just tell her about how half of the seeds had been switched.
"Boss, half of the grain seeds in the field have sprouted, but the other half haven't emerged yet. I just had Su Li come to check, and she said the seeds have been switched."
The senior leader looked at Gu Huanian with a serious expression and said, "You're the one who handled these seeds. You're in charge of investigating this thoroughly. I want to see who dares to pull such a dirty trick in the military."
"receive."
After the senior leader left, Gu Huanian had someone call Li Xian over.
Ten minutes later, Li Xian arrived.
"Commander, you wanted to see me?"
Gu Huanian looked into his eyes and said, "When I handed these seeds to you, did they pass through anyone else's hands in between?"
Li Xian shook his head: "No, I planted the seeds the same day you gave them to me."
The reason he gave the seeds to Li Xian in the first place was because Li Xian was very skilled at farming.
"Did you know that half of the seeds were replaced?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xian's face turned pale.
Seeing him like this, Gu Huanian understood everything.
"You know these seeds are very important to us, so why did you steal them?"
Li Xian remained silent.
"Fine! You won't tell me, huh? Then I'll get approval from the higher-ups tomorrow to process your discharge. We can't keep someone like you in our regiment anymore."
"Commander, no, I'll tell you, it was Chief of Staff Zhen. He asked me to take it, saying nothing serious will happen."
"What is your relationship with Chief of Staff Zhen?"
Li Xian whispered, "He's my uncle. He said these grain seeds are very useful to him."
Gu Huanian said to the two men who brought Li Xian, "Take him away and keep an eye on him for now."
He rode his bike directly to the military base, went to the top leader's office, and explained the situation to him.
The top leader immediately ordered someone to summon Chief of Staff Zhen.
When Chief of Staff Zhen arrived and saw that Gu Huanian was also there, he observed their expressions and roughly guessed that things had been exposed.
But he wasn't flustered.
The senior leader looked at Chief of Staff Zhen and said, "Do you know why I called you here today?"
"It's about the seeds, isn't it? I did do it, and I know I was wrong. But you have to understand the heart of a parent. My youngest son is still bedridden because of the secret mission I was working on."
“I knew that grain was good for his health, and as parents, we couldn't bear to see our son always lying there like that, so I had Li Xian secretly take half of it.” “You can blame me for this, punish me however you want, I won't complain. We, as parents, have failed our child and made a mistake.”
The top leader also knew about that secret mission, and the youngest son of the Zhen family did indeed get into trouble during the mission.
This is something the organization has failed the Zhen family about.
"How many of those seeds are left?"
Chief of Staff Zhen lowered his head and said, "That's all. I've been cooking porridge for my third son these past few days."
Gu Huanian had already guessed that the seeds on that acre and a half were gone for good.
“Huan Nian! Li Xian can no longer stay in the army.”
Gu Huanian nodded.
After the senior leader finished speaking, he looked at Chief of Staff Zhen and said, "I'll let it go this time, but if there's a next time, I'll punish you severely."
Chief of Staff Zhen hurriedly said, "There won't be a next time. If there is a next time, you don't need to tell me, I will ask to leave on my own."
"How is it? Has your son's health changed after drinking the porridge made from those seeds?"
Chief of Staff Zhen glanced at Gu Huanian, then smiled at the senior leader and said, "His legs were numb before, but this time they can feel the pain."
Having made his decision, the senior leader said to Chief of Staff Zhen, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now! You can go and get back to your work."
After Chief of Staff Zhen left, the senior leader looked at Gu Huanian and said, "Go and find Comrade Su, see if he has any more seeds."
"receive"
Gu Huanian originally intended to change his clothes before coming to Su Li's place, but he didn't expect that his troublesome father would be there as soon as he got home.
That's why I was a little late coming to Su Li's place.
Gu Huanian explained again, "I have nothing to do with him. It was my dad who made this arrangement. I don't like anyone but you in my life. I came here today because my superiors asked me to ask if you still have any of those seeds. Chief of Staff Zhen took those seeds before, and there's still one and a half acres of plum trees left to plant."
