Chapter 142 You Are Enough
Cen Yu never returned to Commander Wang's home.
Huo Jingchuan calmed down and returned to Commander Wang's home.
There were no injuries on his face.
Cen Yu intentionally let him go, so he only received two punches on the chest.
Seeing him come back as usual, Jiang Cha finally felt relieved.
"Come and eat. Your leg isn't fully healed yet, so you can't drink for the time being."
Jiang Cha reminded subconsciously.
A faint smile appeared on Huo Jingchuan's lips.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Huo Tingkun said cheerfully, "Our two little brats are really good at listening to their sister. If Cha Cha says one thing, they dare not say another."
"Our Zhanxuan was like this before, but Xiaoli married far away and couldn't come back for several months. On the day our Xiaoli got married, Zhanxuan cried. I still can't forget that scene."
Older people like to reminisce about the past.
Mrs. Yu always thinks of the past from time to time.
Especially in the past two years, her son and daughter have both started their own families, so she doesn't have to take care of her grandchildren for the time being.
In the once bustling home, only she and Lao Wang were left.
It's so quiet.
As soon as the topic of children came up, the elders quickly became chatting.
This meal took quite a long time.
By the time everyone put down their chopsticks, it was already dark outside.
In the family compound, many families turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Everyone knew that there were guests at Commander Wang's house today, but no one came to visit and chat.
The military district in Mucheng arranged a guesthouse for all those responsible for this operation.
The guesthouse is not far from the family compound.
It is to provide a place for military families to stay when they come to visit.
After they finished their meal, they helped to clean up the living room and dining room before walking towards the guesthouse together.
It helps digestion.
Apart from the occasional patrolling soldiers, there were few people walking around on the road.
The time on the watch pointed to half past eight.
Huo Tingkun drank some wine, but he had a good alcohol tolerance and was just a little drunk. When the night wind blew, he became more sober.
He patted Huo Jingchuan on the shoulder.
"Have you let it go?"
"Yeah, put it down."
"I know this matter has been weighing on your heart, making you feel suffocated. Ever since you were old enough to understand, I threw you into the army, and you've been putting pressure on yourself, striving to be number one in everything and to be the best at everything. From now on, if you feel tired, stop and take a break. You're still young, and there's no need to trap yourself in the painful past. Their spirits in heaven would also wish you happiness."
"I know, Dad. Thank you. I'm lucky to have you all these years."
Jiang Cha didn't quite understand what he heard.
But she was very sensible and didn't say much. She just walked beside Huo Jingchuan and listened quietly.
When they arrived at the guesthouse, Jiang Cha heard Huo Tingkun sigh.
"If only So-yong were here too!"
His steps were steady, and from behind, you couldn't tell that he was drunk.
Jiang Cha suddenly felt that Huo Tingkun was not as tall as she had imagined.
Without the identity of a teacher, he is just an ordinary man.
In the days when he was not reunited with his mother, did he sigh and say every time he went to a place, "I wish Su Rong was here too"?
Jiang Cha seemed to see the concrete appearance of love.
"Well, if only mom were here!"
Jiang Cha nodded in agreement, raised the corner of his mouth, and followed him into the guesthouse.
Their room is on the second floor.
Huo Jingchuan and Huo Tingkun share a room, and Jiang Cha lives in a room alone.
The two rooms are next door.
Open the window, reach out your hands, and you can even grab each other's hands from the other side of the window.
After Jiang Cha washed up, Huo Jingchuan also settled Huo Tingkun.
The two of them stood in front of the window in tacit understanding, looking up at the moon in the sky.
Jiang Cha raised his arms and leaned on the windowsill.
Seeing this, Huo Jingchuan also imitated Jiang Cha, raised his hand and leaned it on the windowsill.
"Not sleepy?"
He asked.
Jiang Cha smiled and said, "Well, I ate too much last night and couldn't sleep."
"Chat?"
Jiang Cha really wanted to talk to Huo Jingchuan.
Since he said so, she wouldn't be polite.
"Why don't I quite understand what Uncle Huo said to you today?"
"What don't you understand?"
Jiang Cha thought about it seriously and came to a conclusion.
“It seems like I don’t understand anything.”
"My biological father was Lao Huo's subordinate. When I was six years old, my father went on a mission with Lao Huo. On the battlefield, he was tricked by Nakajima and didn't come back alive."
"No, wait."
Jiang Cha raised his hand to stop him, "Aren't you Uncle Huo's son?"
"Huh? I'm Lao Huo's adopted son, don't you know?"
Jiang Cha shook his head blankly, "Does my mother know?"
Huo Jingchuan really hated seeing Jiang Cha looking confused.
He wished he could put his hand through the wall and pinch Jiang Cha's pretty and soft face.
“I know!”
Jiang Cha's face became even more puffy.
"So, I'm the only one in the family who doesn't know about this?"
Huo Jingchuan thought about it and thought that Xiaocao had lived in the staff housing compound for so many years, so he should know it.
He nodded seriously.
"It should be... yes."
Ginger tea: “…”
No wonder Uncle Huo wrote so many letters to his mother, and his wife was neither angry nor jealous.
So, he doesn't have a wife at all?
"Old Huo was a good man. At that time, Aye was still a child. My mother couldn't bear the blow and followed my father. All our relatives wanted the pension. No one wanted to support Aye and me for nothing. It was Old Huo who stepped forward at the critical moment. Since then, he has become the only relative Aye and I have."
A six-year-old child can already remember a lot of things.
Old Huo went from being a man who had never even been married to being the father of two children.
Huo Jingchuan remembered all that he had done for them.
"Old Huo knows that I have always wanted to avenge my father for so many years, so he said these words to me today."
"Ginger Tea, I can finally move on from the past and embrace the new life wholeheartedly."
Tears welled up in Jiang Cha's eyes.
Looking at the tall and big Huo Jingchuan in front of her, it was hard for her to imagine how a child of only six years old, after experiencing the major changes of his parents' death, could force himself to become who he is now, step by step?
Jiang Cha extended her hand toward him.
Across the wall, across the windowsill, she stuck her head out of the window, and under the bright moonlight, with a pair of tearful eyes, she smiled and said to him, "Congratulations, Huo Jingchuan. From now on, your life will be smooth sailing, with sunshine and flowers coexisting, and you can swim freely in the waves and sky."
Huo Jingchuan stared into Jiang Cha's eyes and slowly stretched out his hand towards her.
"I don't need sunshine and flowers, nor do I need waves and sky. You are enough for me."
