Xu Chang felt that he was hallucinating because he missed his daughter too much.
The little girl is living a life of luxury in Taoyang, how could she possibly appear in Changjing?
He shook his head and rang the doorbell.
After waiting for a few seconds, he found that the courtyard seemed to have been cleaned. It seemed that someone was really going to live there permanently. It was probably someone Su Tao knew, and he could come here often in the future.
He sighed as he thought about it, it would be nice if Taoyang was only ten minutes away from where he lived in Changjing.
At this time, the door opened, revealing Su Tao's face with a bright smile.
Xu Chang was stunned on the spot and took a step back: "You——"
Then Alice, wearing a colorful headband and looking like a beautiful human-shaped gift, came running out, looking up and shouting, "Da Da!"
It’s time to get off work.
Xu Chang felt as if he were in a dream, with his daughter throwing herself into his arms.
He couldn't believe it and couldn't help but hug her tightly, his vision blurring.
It’s true. It’s not a dream.
Su Tao looked at them with a smile, but in the gaps in the sunlight, she discovered the silver strands hidden in Minister Xu's black hair.
I feel a little sad and a little envious.
I wonder if she will have the chance to enjoy such fatherly love in her next life.
After coaxing Alice to sleep, Xu Chang came out of the room, closed the door, and looked at Su Tao in the courtyard, not knowing how to start.
Reason told him that Su Tao definitely did not come to Changjing by normal means of transportation.
The entry and exit management of Changjing is very strict now. If someone enters through the city gate, he will know it at the first time.
That is, Su Tao's own magical ability is incredible.
Su Tao leaned against a tree and asked him with a smile:
"Uncle Xu, are you satisfied with this gift?"
Xu Chang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Satisfied, but also scared me. I thought I was dreaming. When did you buy this house?"
He deliberately skipped the topic of why Su Tao suddenly appeared here with her daughter.
If Su Tao wanted to tell him, she would tell him herself. He respected and kept her secret.
Su Tao shook her head: "It was given to me by a good friend. I just packed it up and plan to stay here from time to time."
Xu Chang's heart skipped a beat: "From time to time?"
Su Tao smiled: "Yes, from time to time."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to a door on her left and said, "Open it and take a look."
Xu Chang seemed to have guessed something, his heart was pounding, and his feet had already taken a step forward and opened the door faster than his brain.
After the familiar dizziness passed, he saw the familiar, lush pasture with flocks of chickens and ducks.
He opened his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time.
It was a long time before they retreated and returned to the courtyard house in Changjing.
He looked at Su Tao, his lips trembling, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes twitching, and he tried his best to restrain his surging emotions. However, all he could say turned into a hoarse and unutterable "thank you".
At this moment, Xu Chang was extremely grateful.
His daughter is the most important person in his heart, but Changjing also needs him. The two places are so far apart, he must make a choice.
The dilemma between family and country!
Every time he thought about it late at night, he would feel sorry for his daughter and resent himself for always saying that he would love, care for and accompany his daughter, but his time and energy were still dedicated to the country.
He felt that he was not a good father.
But today, the long distance suddenly became just one step away, instantly resolving his greatest pain and fulfilling his wish to take care of both his family and his country.
How can I not be grateful! How can I not be excited!
Su Tao was also very happy, showing a row of small white teeth: "It's a small matter, you're welcome."
The two walked and chatted in the yard for a while. When Alice woke up, he took her to the courtyard to set up a fire and barbecue.
The neighbors next door can only smell the fragrance coming from within the high walls and listen to the laughter coming from inside.
After dinner, Alice missed her tree house and chickens.
She can't speak, she just hums and makes noises.
Xu Chang comforted her, took her hand through the portal, personally sent her into the tree house, covered her with a quilt, and coaxed her to sleep.
Looking at his daughter's peaceful sleeping face, he sighed. If it weren't for Su Tao, it would be a luxury for him to even cover his daughter with a blanket.
"Are you asleep?" Su Tao leaned half of her head in and asked in a low voice.
Xu Chang nodded and closed the door quietly. He felt embarrassed because his daughter was eating and drinking for free in Taoyang and her face had become fatter.
Xu Chang wanted to give Su Tao something in return, but after thinking about it, he found that he had nothing decent to offer.
What Taoyang has, he doesn’t.
Taoyang doesn't care about what he has.
Xu Chang smiled bitterly and shook his head, secretly deciding in his heart that he would take care of Su Tao as his own daughter in the future.
He gave Alice as much as he could.
At this moment, his communicator rang at an inopportune moment, and Xu Chang quickly answered it, fearing that he would wake up his daughter in the room.
It was his assistant: "Minister! Where are you? Come to Changjing First People's Hospital! General Liao is dying!"
Xu Chang's face changed and he was about to leave.
General Liao is ninety years old this year. Before the end of the world, he was the chief of the country's highest military region. After the end of the world, he turned the tide and resolved the serious internal strife in Changjing at the beginning, stabilized the situation, pushed the current president to power, and gradually put the entire federation back on track over the past twenty years.
It can be said that General Liao is the mainstay of the federation.
He is the patriarch of all the people of the Federation.
Although he has been bedridden for several years, as long as he is still alive, the people of Changjing will always feel at peace. They always feel that life before the end of the world is not far away from them, and one day these difficulties can be overcome.
Now, this magic needle that supports us is about to sink into the deep sea.
Xu Chang rushed to the portal, but suddenly stopped. He only thought for three seconds, turned around and grabbed Su Tao:
"Go with Uncle Xu to meet someone."
Before Su Tao could react, he hurriedly pulled her away, walked out of the courtyard, got into his minister's car, and drove to Changjing First People's Hospital at lightning speed.
"Uncle Xu, who are we meeting?"
Xu Chang had no time to explain, fearing that the old general would not be able to see Su Tao in seclusion, so he almost half-dragged Su Tao into the ward.
At this time, a group of people had gathered around General Liao's bed, and the leader among them was the current president.
The rest are the heads of various federal departments. Any one of them would be a big shot whose stomping of feet would make a deafening sound.
Su Tao's appearance attracted the attention of all of them.
They were all stunned for a moment, obviously knowing who Su Tao was, and automatically made way for her.
Xu Chang's eyes were slightly red. He pulled Su Tao forward and leaned over the bed, whispering to the old general who was barely breathing:
"General, look who I brought here."
Su Tao stepped forward in confusion.
The old general used his strength to try to see Su Tao clearly with his cloudy old eyes.
He seemed to have guessed it, but he could only make two "ah" sounds with his mouth open.
Xu Chang held his hand and said, "Yes, it's Su Tao, the Su Tao from Taoyang Base."
