Looking at his son's appearance, Xu Dingbang would be lying if he said he didn't feel heartbroken. After all, he only had this one son, and he was so promising.
He really didn't want to embarrass his son, but he was having a hard time now.
His house was penniless and haunted. How could he have the courage to go back?
If his son didn't care about him now and wanted to drive the old couple back, Xu Dingbang felt that he really had no way out.
No, he couldn't just go back like this. He had worked so hard to raise his son, but he didn't even get to enjoy the blessing of having a grandchild.
It just so happens that now is the time for his son to repay him.
Xu Dingbang is not stupid, so he naturally wouldn't say what's in his mind directly. Wouldn't that annoy his son?
He pounded his head helplessly and self-reproachfully. "No, I don't blame you, Zhenhua. It's all Dad's fault for not giving you a good background. Now, you and your wife are involved in a quarrel because of me and your mother. So, your mother and I will take the train home later to spare you any trouble."
Xu Dingbang's words were so sincere that Xu Zhenhua burst into tears.
Although Xu Zhenhua had complained before that he was not born in a good family.
But to be honest, because he is the only male in the family, his parents are very devoted to him. Even if they don't give him everything he wants, they will do their best to satisfy him.
Now looking at his father's old appearance, and the fact that he took the initiative to ask to go back, Xu Zhenhua felt a little reluctant.
But when he thought of Wu Lifang, Xu Zhenhua's reluctance instantly disappeared. He clenched his hands, and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes. "Dad, it's all because of my useless son."
Seeing that his son still hadn't agreed to let them stay, Xu Dingbang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Isn't it true that I raised this son in vain?
Even after he said so, Zhenhua still didn't give in. It seemed like he was determined to send him and his wife back.
At this moment, Xu Dingbang's heart sank. This was his biological son whom he had raised for more than 20 years. He was so cold and indifferent.
No, I have to think of a way to delay it first. After Zhenhua leaves, he will make some plans carefully.
Thinking of this, Xu Dingbang slowly spoke, "Zhenhua, your mother and I have been on the train for such a long time. Even if we leave now, our old bones can't bear it. Why don't we wait until we attend your wedding tomorrow before going back? Do you think this is okay?"
Xu Zhenhua didn't want to push too hard, thinking it wouldn't make any difference whether it was a day earlier or later, so he nodded and agreed.

The other side.
After Tang Wanning and Su Meijuan got off the train, they took a bus to the military compound.
Since they did not have proof of being military family members, they could not stay in the military guesthouse and could only find a small hotel nearby.
Inside the room, Su Meijuan was a little unsure, "Ningning, should we go to the military district to inquire now?"
Tang Wanning had already confirmed that tomorrow was Xu Zhenhua's wedding day, so she was not in a hurry. She was mainly afraid of running into Xu Zhenhua on the way. Wouldn't that alert him?
But you still have to find out.
Tang Wanning soothed him and said, "Mom, you must be tired after sitting on the train for such a long time. You should rest for a while. I can go out by myself."
How could Su Meijuan feel at ease letting her daughter go out alone? After all, she was unfamiliar with the place and Ningning was still a girl.
Even though she is tanned and thinner now, she is still a little beauty.
She said firmly, "No, I'll go with you."
"Mom, just listen to me and rest in your room." Tang Wanning shook Su Meijuan's arm. "Two people will make too much of a mark. I'm just fine on my own. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Seeing her daughter acting like a spoiled child, Su Meijuan didn't want to spoil her fun, so she could only reluctantly agree, "Okay, then be careful."
Tang Wanning responded and quickly walked out of the room.
Although she appeared very confident in front of Su Meijuan, Tang Wanning actually still hadn't figured out how to get into the staff housing compound tomorrow.
The hotel owner just said that the hotel is only a ten-minute walk away from the military family compound. The most important thing now is to find out how to get to the military family compound.
According to the boss's description, Tang Wanning looked around and collected wild vegetables and flowers on the roadside. After about fifteen minutes, she saw the military family compound not far away.
The gate of the military district family compound is built very solemnly, with a striking military district logo. There are sentry boxes on both sides of the gate, as well as a communication room and a guard room.
There is a small square outside the compound. It is already past five in the afternoon. At this time, many soldiers and their families are chatting and playing chess here. It is very lively.
Seeing this scene, Tang Wanning had an idea in her mind. She didn't go over, but walked away quickly, so she didn't attract anyone's attention.
With a method to deal with it, Tang Wanning was not in a hurry on the way back. She mainly focused on collecting. Soon, her points increased from 47 to 63.
Although there were only some wild grasses and flowers along the way, it was a different city and there were surprisingly many uncollected plants and animals.
It seems that if you want to get more points, you can't stay in one place.
"Mom, I'm back."
Hearing her daughter's voice, Su Meijuan quickly opened the door and asked, "How is it? Have you found the military district guesthouse?"
"I've personally taken action, and it's not easy to capture him?" Tang Wanning patted his chest proudly. "Let's go, go have dinner first, then come back early to rest so you can be more energetic for the battle tomorrow."
Although I was on the train all the time and didn't have to go out to the garden or cook like I was at home, it was also inconvenient to even go to the toilet on the train, so it was very uncomfortable to sit all the time.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."

After Xu Zhenhua finished his dinner in the courtyard, he went to the military region to find Wu Lifang. Although they had rented a house outside, they were not married yet, so they slept in the dormitory at night.
Wu Lifang smiled brightly, "Zhenhua, you're here."
Seeing Wu Lifang's face, Xu Zhenhua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although her cheeks were still a little red, fortunately the swelling had subsided. By tomorrow, she would probably be completely back to normal.
Even if it cannot be restored, you can still cover it up with cosmetics. In short, it is not a big problem.
"Yeah." Xu Zhenhua responded, "I've already made an agreement with my parents. After they attend our wedding tomorrow, we'll go back home."
When Wu Lifang heard Xu Zhenhua's words, her face instantly turned gloomy. She really didn't want to see that damn old woman Bai Xiuying. She was so cruel.
Even though her face was protected by her hands and there was no serious problem, her hands were damaged and were now red and swollen like a radish.
Although Bai Xiuying has done nothing at home except working in the fields in the past year or so, she has not lost any of the strength she has acquired over the years.
