Chapter 288 You can blame him, but you must also try to forgive him

Huo Jianguo stayed in the hospital for three days.

As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he wrote an application, saying that he wanted to be discharged from the military.

The attitude is very firm.

He felt that his career in the army for more than ten years was all thanks to Chen Yilong's gradual promotion, and he suddenly lost confidence in his achievements, which he was proud of.

Naturally, Chen Yillong refused to approve this matter.

It just so happened that Huo Jianguo fell ill, so Chen Yilon granted Huo Jianguo a special six-month leave to recuperate, allowing him to consider whether to retire after the leave.

Su Mei tried her best to persuade Huo Jianguo, hoping that he would not act impulsively.

She knew in her heart how much Huo Jianguo loved his career as a soldier.

At night, she lay in bed, her fingers gently stroking the old and new scars on Huo Jianguo's body, as if touching the traces of time. She murmured:

"This scar is your merit, witnessing your bravery; this scar is your achievement, engraved with your perseverance; this scar is your pride, showing your great reputation.

Your position is built inch by inch with your blood, sweat and hard work, so you should have faith in yourself. "

"The soldiers on the frontier are all suffering and wounded, but it can be said that there are few who have been promoted as quickly as I have.

If he wasn't my father, how could I have risen so quickly? I used to hate the relatives, but I never thought that I would become one of them in the end. "After Huo Jianguo finished speaking, he smiled bitterly.

Su Mei felt that Huo Jianguo was sometimes too stubborn. "For a person to succeed, both opportunity and ability are indispensable.

Jianguo, do you know what a hopeless person is? If you are really a piece of rotten clay, then Chief Chen will never be able to help you up.

With Chief Chen's temperament, you should know that he is definitely not the kind of person who is partial to others. He paves the way for you because he believes you are worthy."

"Isn't it good for me to retire? I have been in the army for twelve years this year, and I will receive a large lump sum of retirement benefits after retirement.

The military pay can buy you a lot of small houses, and I can get a job as a local police officer or something like that, so we won't be separated anymore?" Huo Jianguo didn't want to hear any advice, so he changed the subject.

Of course, it couldn't be better!

But Su Mei was sure that if Huo Jianguo decided to retire when he was in such an uneasy state of mind, he would regret it in the future. "Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. Didn't the commander give you a six-month vacation? Let's talk about it after the vacation."

"Okay." Huo Jianguo was silent for a while before nodding at Su Mei.

The next day was when Chen Yillong returned to the border.

He has been living in a guesthouse these days. Su Mei invited him to stay at her home, but Chen Yilon did not come. He felt that Huo Jianguo had not accepted him yet, and he was too embarrassed to come and disrupt Huo Jianguo's life.

No matter how righteous his reasons for abandoning his child were, it cannot change the fact that he made the wrong choice and indirectly killed his wife.

He has punished himself with loneliness for half his life, and he should continue this punishment to the end. This is what he deserves.

Su Mei told Huo Jianguo that Chen Yilon was leaving, but Huo Jianguo said nothing and did not say that he would see him off.

The next morning, seeing that Huo Jianguo had no intention of going out, Su Mei did not ask Huo Jianguo any more questions. She went to the airport alone to see Chen Yilong off.

When he saw Su Mei, Chen Yilon's eyes lit up. He looked behind Su Mei, and when he found that there was no other figure behind her, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.

Su Mei couldn't help but sigh when she saw Chen Yilong's expression. She looked at Chen Yilong and said:

"Commander, these things are indeed a bit complicated. You have to give Huo Jianguo time to digest them. He will accept you.

It happened too suddenly, and he hasn't come to his senses yet. Don't you blame him?"

"It's normal for him not to accept it." Chen Yilong didn't think he had the right to blame Huo Jianguo, "You can't have both family and country. When I gave up on him, I actually lost him.

But he is an excellent soldier, and I don't want him to give up this career because of me. Su Mei, if you have time, please encourage him more."

"I will." Su Mei looked at Chen Yi and nodded heavily.

As the boarding time approached, Chen Yillong's eyes swept around again, and then with a slight sense of loss, he walked towards the boarding gate heavily.

Seeing Chen Yilong's desolate back, Su Mei pursed her lips. She now knew why Chen Yilong hated the original soul in this body so much and even instigated Huo Jianguo to divorce.

As a father, he has been silently raising his son for more than ten years.

Seeing your son marrying someone who is vicious and unkempt is indeed a little hard to accept.

It feels like the good cabbage in your garden is eaten by pigs...

Only after Chen Yilon's figure completely disappeared at the boarding gate did Su Mei turn around and leave the airport.

As soon as she walked out of the airport lobby, she saw a tall man wandering at the door.

He was wearing a simple shirt and black trousers, looking smart and handsome.

His facial features were distinct, revealing a resolute temperament. However, his eyes were hesitant and a little melancholy.

Seeing Su Mei leaving the house, the man forced a faint smile at him.

"You?" Su Mei pointed at Huo Jianguo, "Why don't you come in now that you're here? I thought you were so heartless that you wouldn't even come over to take a look!

You didn't say you were coming when I left, but you followed me to the airport quietly. What were you doing?

Everyone has left, you may not see them again."

"I didn't see anyone else, I just missed you and came to pick you up." Huo Jianguo walked up to Su Mei, took her hand and walked outside.

The two walked along the road towards the city for a very long time.

When they met the bus on the road, Su Mei did not stop, but kept walking forward with Huo Jianguo.

After walking for more than forty minutes, the two came across a small bridge. Huo Jianguo took Su Mei's hand and sat on the bridge pier.

He then told Su Mei about Chen Yilong:

"My mind tells me that I should understand him. As a soldier myself, I should be able to appreciate the sense of justice he holds in his heart.

But I couldn't understand it rationally, because he had concealed from my mother the decision to give me away, and he shouldn't have made the decision for my mother.

My mother died looking for me, but thirty years later I found my father who had abandoned me, and we live happily and in love.

So, tell me, how wronged was my mother?"

"You're right. The commander did something wrong back then. He morally kidnapped your mother." Su Mei could understand Huo Jianguo's current mood. Since Huo Jianguo was willing to talk about it, she wanted to analyze what happened back then with him.

Moral kidnapping? This was the first time Huo Jianguo had heard this term. He was a little confused: "What does moral kidnapping mean?"

"Moral kidnapping is using one's own or society's commonly used moral standards to force others to do things that violate their values ​​or harm their interests.

The leader is willing to give up his own family for the sake of the country and the nation. This is a very great and respectable thing.

But if he is willing to give up, that is his business. He cannot use the interests of his country and family as an excuse to force his lover to do the same and give up her child.

In the name of family and country, he asked your mother to abandon you, and even abandoned you without your mother's consent. This is his moral kidnapping of your mother.

So it's normal for you to feel uncomfortable. But then again, you have to know that the chief's moral kidnapping is not for his personal interests, but for the country."

Finally, Su Mei held Huo Jianguo's hand and said:

"You can blame him, but you should also try to forgive him!"
