But he just couldn't do it.
From the day he joined the army, his life was no longer lived for himself, nor for someone around him, but for the people of this country.
His life is not his own.
His life was to be ready to contribute at any time.
In the past, Zhuang Sheng had never flinched under the hail of bullets, always fearless and fighting with all his might. But for some reason, after marrying Liu Ruonan, he had begun to have some concerns.
He also considered the consequences. If he was gone, what would happen to Liu Ruonan? Would she be a widow forever? What would happen to his children? Would they be like Liu Ruonan, who remarried another man without ever seeing her biological father?
If you think this way, the more careful you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes. Because of his absent-mindedness today, Zhuang Sheng was criticized in the army, and he reflected on himself.
Indeed, he shouldn't have such thoughts.
Since you have chosen to join the army, you should know what you will face.
So, all this is relieved.
It’s just a pity that he can’t be with Liu Ruonan, give her more strength, and let her have a hug to rely on.
"You have greater things to do." Liu Ruonan stared at Zhuang Sheng, her eyes full of affirmation. "Family matters are minor, national affairs are major. Brother Zhuang Sheng, please don't think like that. We are husband and wife, there's no such thing as politeness. You are defending our country in the army, and you are bringing honor to me and our children."
Zhuang Sheng looked at Liu Ruonan, grateful for her understanding. Liu Ruonan's words were like a knife stabbing into his heart. But they were also like a jar of honey poured into his heart.
While he felt sorry for Liu Ruonan's understanding, he was also very glad that she was understanding.
Sometimes, people's hearts are just so contradictory.
At this moment, Zhuang Sheng was finally completely relieved.
Liu Ruonan told Zhuang Sheng about her plan to mortgage the factory to build a road. Zhuang Sheng pondered for a while, but ultimately supported Liu Ruonan's decision. He said, "If you believe it's the right thing to do, do it bravely. Don't be afraid of failure. I'm here for you!"
Zhuang Sheng always supports Liu Ruonan unconditionally, both in past and present lives.
Liu Ruonan no longer tried to be moved to tears. Although she was only nineteen years old now, she had lived through forty years in her previous life, and she had acquired the maturity and composure she should have.
She just wanted to live a good married life with Zhuang Sheng in this life.
Since Liu Ruonan decided to take out a loan, she went ahead and did it.
These days, the person who has been with her is Chen Lei.
A few days ago, Zhao Hu's mother passed away. After he and his wife handled the funeral, they returned to work three days later.
There are people taking care of the shop now, and Zhao Hu is responsible for moving and transporting goods, so it doesn’t matter much even if Chen Lei is not here.
Liu Ruonan has prepared all the documents in the past few days, and then went to the bank. She first filled out a series of forms, and then the bank asked her to go back and wait for the results. After all, the bank still had to verify it in person.
The loan requirements at this time were different from those she had in the new century. Back then, she had no idea what a loan was. No, in this era, perhaps "mortgage" would be more appropriate.
Liu Ruonan didn't have a phone at home, so she didn't know how to notify them. So she asked for an approximate date and said she would come and ask when the time came.
Liu Ruonan came out of the bank and took Chen Lei to the telecommunications bureau. She had to install a telephone in the factory and one in the shop, so that it would be more convenient no matter what happened.
After the telecommunications bureau has made the arrangements, they will send people to start the installation tomorrow.
Because they were in the city now, Chen Lei sent Liu Ruonan home directly. It was already late, and it was not worth going to the shop.
When Liu Ruonan returned home, Zhuang Sheng had already returned and was busy cooking in the kitchen. Liu Ruonan looked at his back, feeling happy and sweet in her heart.
In her previous life, she had stared at his back in a daze countless times, and the regret in her heart was something that most people could never experience.
Perhaps, some people would say she is pretentious.
But Liu Ruonan never thought so. The more genuine her love was, the more she wanted to give him the best of herself. She just felt that she was not qualified for that.
When Zhuang Sheng brought out the dishes, Liu Ruonan was standing at the kitchen door in a daze.
"Are you back?" Zhuang Sheng asked.
"I'm back." Liu Ruonan smiled sweetly.
Zhuang Sheng brought the food into the room and called out to Liu Ruonan, "What are you standing there for? Come in and eat."
Liu Ruonan followed closely behind and entered the room.
While eating, Zhuang Sheng picked up some food for Liu Ruonan and asked, "Why has Ning Haotian disappeared again these past few days?"
"He's not missing, he's in the factory." Liu Ruonan responded.
"I was wondering why I haven't seen him these days. Where has he been sleeping these days?" Zhuang Sheng asked.
In fact, Zhuang Sheng also felt quite sorry about this. Unfortunately, his family was so small that there was really no way to give him a place to live.
"On the sofa in the office." Liu Ruonan said.
Zhuang Sheng nodded. He used to be able to sleep under the overpass. It was much more comfortable than the sofa! Zhuang Sheng comforted himself and did not mention Ning Haotian again.
"By the way, how's the matter of borrowing money from the bank going?" Zhuang Sheng suddenly remembered and asked.
"All the information has been submitted, and we're just waiting for the results." Liu Ruonan said, "By the way, Brother Zhuang Sheng, I plan to install a telephone in the factory and in the shop. This will make things more convenient in the future."
"Well! It's time to make a phone call." Zhuang Sheng nodded and put a piece of braised pork into Liu Ruonan's rice.
"Let's not press it at home for now! Didn't you say that the army is building a new family compound? When we move to the new home, we can press it together." Liu Ruonan seemed to use a soliciting tone.
Zhuang Sheng nodded and responded, "Okay, we're not in a hurry."
Zhuang Sheng paused, as if remembering something, and said to Liu Ruonan, "By the way, tomorrow is Friday. Shall we go pick up Shanshan from school together this afternoon?"
"Okay." Liu Ruonan said, and also picked up a few chopsticks of food for Zhuang Sheng.
The weather has been exceptionally clear these days, with stars dotted across the sky at night. It's almost the beginning of summer, and there's already a hint of warmth outside.
After dinner, Zhuang Sheng went to wash the dishes. Liu Ruonan went to the bathroom and washed a few clothes for Zhuang Sheng.
Recently, they seem to be busy with their own things. Liu Ruonan is working hard, and Zhuang Sheng is also working hard.
Every time Zhuang Sheng came home, he would not let Liu Ruonan interfere in anything at home. But Liu Ruonan wanted to do something for Zhuang Sheng.
The bathroom was outside, and Zhuang Sheng didn't know Liu Ruonan came out.
After washing the clothes, Liu Ruonan returned to the room and saw Zhuang Sheng sitting on the bed reading a book.
