The Ran family actually didn't take the Lou family's prank too seriously.
As long as nothing happens, they won't worry too much.
However, there were several times when Deputy Head Lou wanted to find Ran Xiasheng and talk to him, but Ran Xiasheng locked him out.
He knew why he was looking for him, it was nothing more than about Jin's job matters, and he wanted to explain to him that Jianguo's affairs had nothing to do with him.
However, Ran Xiasheng no longer cares about these things. These matters have been reported to the division headquarters, and they have nothing to do with the Ran family anymore.
Whether Deputy Head Lou was interested or not, Ran Xiasheng felt that the matter was over. He was not the kind of person who would quibble over small matters, but he just kept his distance from the Lou family.
Don't get too close to villains. It's always better to stay away from them.
"Dad, was this really a trap set by Deputy Captain Lou?" Ran Yingying asked Ran Xiasheng in a low voice.
Ran Xiasheng pinched her little nose, "That's what Dad thought. With Ou Xi's intelligence, he can't think of such a bad trick."
Ran Yingying shook her head: "Dad, I'm just the opposite of you. I think Aunt Ou can definitely do this. Only she can do it one move after another. Don't you think that she does everything without thinking, and never considers other people's feelings, only her own feelings?"
This is something Ou Xi would really do.
"Child, you don't understand the world of adults. Adults don't do things that simply. Ou Xi really doesn't have a brain, but there are people who do, and as long as she is slightly tempted, she will fit into that established mold."
Ran Yingying thought about it and it seemed to be the case.
With a mind like Ou Xi, it is indeed easy for others to take advantage of it. But was it really done by Deputy Head Lou?
Deputy Head Lou is a shady guy who does things in a shady way. If you are not careful, you can easily fall into his trap. Is it really for the position of head of the regiment that he schemed against Zhai's father, and then he wants to scheme against my father?
Ran Xiasheng touched his daughter's head and said, "Yingying, remember, some people can't just be judged by appearances. When they are calculating, they can do anything. In the future, you must open your eyes and learn to be smarter. Do you understand?"
His daughter is very stupid and he is really afraid that she will suffer in the future.
When you grow up and fall in love, you must not be fooled by these bad boys.
Education must start from childhood. At this time, Ran Xiasheng had already deeply felt that his daughter was too naive and could easily be abducted by bad boys.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not stupid." Ran Yingying pouted, "I still have my brother, he will protect me."
Ran Xiasheng's mind flashed back to Zhai Hong's cold face, and he thought that this guy also loved to play tricks. Fortunately, he really protected Yingying, and he had never bullied Yingying.
"You should also pay attention to this kid Ahong, he is also scheming." Ran Xiasheng muttered.
Ran Yingying shook her head and said, "Brother is not a bad person."
Her brother is the person who loves her the most in this world besides her parents.
Whether in the previous life or this life, my brother is the best person.
Seeing the confusion on his daughter's white, tender, and tender face, Ran Xiasheng sighed. His daughter was still young and couldn't understand. He would educate her slowly in the future and let her be more scheming. She couldn't be like Yuehua. Being too kind sometimes brings harm.
"I know, Dad. I will remember it." Ran Yingying smiled sweetly at her father, which instantly melted Ran Xiasheng's heart.
At this time, Mi Yuehua came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes and saw the father and daughter interacting there. She smiled and said, "What are you two talking about? You look so happy?"
Ran Xiasheng said: "Nothing, I just told my daughter not to trust strangers so easily in the future, especially bad boys."
"Dad is afraid that I'll be cheated." Ran Yingying also said.
Mi Yuehua said, "Xia Sheng, why are you telling your daughter all this? Your daughter is still young, only three years old, and you are teaching her these things?"
"Education must start from childhood. I have to tell her early so that she can't be fooled by others." Ran Xiasheng answered seriously.
Ran Yingying also nodded: "Dad is right, I can't be fooled by others."
Mi Yuehua was amused by the father and daughter.
But what Xia Sheng said was not wrong. People really cannot be too kind.
She just couldn't save face, so she let the neighbor next door take advantage of her and almost caused a disaster. Fortunately, she refused and kicked the man out of the house, otherwise she didn't know what kind of disaster would have happened.
The human heart is unpredictable. Who can know if when you treat others sincerely, they will stab you in the back?
It's so scary.
…
Compared to the joy of the Ran family, the Lou family was shrouded in dark clouds.
Deputy Head Lou kept pacing back and forth, but he couldn't calm down at all.
I always feel that something is going to happen.
Something big happened.
He was very worried and wanted to find Ran Xiasheng, but he couldn't knock on the door opposite.
When Ran Xiasheng gets angry, he is more cruel than anyone else.
He had never thought that he would do this. This time, he had hit a wall.
"Lao Lou, you've been back for several days and have been looking sad. What's wrong?" Ou Xi couldn't understand what was wrong with Lao Lou.
The old deputy captain stopped, his brows furrowed, and looked at Ou Xi with disgust in his eyes.
Why did he marry such a troublesome woman?
Back then, his parents had married him to a daughter-in-law, and he did not follow those trendy ideas and think of divorcing her. Instead, he brought his daughter-in-law back from his hometown.
He didn't become Chen Shimei.
But why does this old woman never give him peace of mind?
What's going on? He caused so much trouble, but in the end he still has to clean up the mess. He may not be able to clean it up.
"Old Lou?" Ou Xi called again.
Deputy Head Lou waved at her, opened the door and was about to leave.
"Lao Luo, why are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong? If you hadn't told me that Captain Zhai was divorced, would I have thought of introducing him to someone else? Who did I offend? The guy next door hates me because of this, and now you want to hate me too?"
Deputy Head Lou didn't turn around, but waved his hand behind him, "I can't explain it to you clearly!"
As he said this, he was about to go out.
But he almost bumped into someone, that was Lotus who was just about to enter the door.
Lotus's face was full of concern: "Cousin, cousin-in-law, what are you doing again..."
Deputy Head Lou just glanced at her, her expression did not ease, she snorted coldly, and went downstairs without looking back.
He didn't want to stay in this house, he felt suffocated. He just wanted to go downstairs and get some fresh air, he didn't want to stay there for a moment.
Ou Xi was so angry that he threw away everything in the room and said, "He left! Once he left, he won't come back!" He started to cry.
He Hua stepped forward and advised her: "Cousin, what are you doing..."
"Where did you go just now? I didn't see you all day long?" Ou Xi suddenly looked up and asked her.
He Hua said, "I went to Zhai's house. Didn't they say that Captain Zhai had returned? I just wanted to go and see him."
Ou Xi said, "They've rejected you, but you're still trying to get in? Aren't you ashamed?"
"It's only the Ran family that refused. The Ran family is not Captain Zhai himself, and they are not Captain Zhai's relatives. What's the point of them refusing? As long as Captain Zhai wants me, who can stop him?"
Ou Xi was furious at first, but after hearing this, she calmed down a little. She asked, "What did Captain Zhai say?"
Think about it, the lotus is so beautiful, only Captain Zhai is blind and would not like to see it.
She looks so happy, is this done?
The lotus flowers do not speak.
Her mind was full of Zhai Jianguo's image. The man was handsome and she was attracted to him at first sight.
He was more handsome than any man she had ever met, young and energetic, and more importantly, he had a muscular body.
When she went there, he was chopping wood. He had taken off his shirt and was only wearing a vest. His body was so muscular that she blushed and gasped.
And that face, although the skin was a little dark, the facial features were handsome, which made her heart beat faster.
She was glad that she came, otherwise she would have missed such a good opportunity.
Only a man like Captain Zhai is worthy of her.
After meeting Captain Zhai, what were the two men she had met before? They were not even as good as Captain Zhai.
For the first time in thirty years, I felt my heart beat fast.
My heart was pounding like thunder, a feeling I've never had before.
She swore that she would marry Captain Zhai no matter what means were used.
A virtuous woman is afraid of being clingy with a man, and vice versa.
When a man pursues a woman, there is a mountain between them; when a woman pursues a man, there is only a veil between them. She believed that if she wanted to pursue Captain Zhai, she would definitely be able to get him.
After all, she is not ugly. If she really likes a man that much, how could the man not be attracted to her?
She has this confidence.
"I'm asking you a question. How does Captain Zhai feel about seeing you?" Ou Xi asked anxiously.
Lotus blushed: "He didn't say anything, very gentleman."
A man should be a gentleman, and such a man is more attractive. If he is eager to have sex with her when he first meets her, then such a man is not worth pursuing.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Captain Zhai was perfect in every way and was the most suitable man for her.
"Cousin, I have decided that I must pursue Captain Zhai."
Ou Xi said, "Are you interested?"
Seeing Lotus's shy look, Ou Xi actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if she didn't care, she had been thinking about the day they went to Ran's house. Ran Yingying and Zhai Hong's words at that time echoed in her mind more than once.
She knew it was wrong to be suspicious of her cousin, but she just couldn't help it.
Especially, Lotus is so beautiful, which man can stand her?
My looks can never compare to hers.
At that time, she already regretted that she should not have taken He Hua. If the Ran family had agreed to be a matchmaker for her, she would not have had such wild thoughts, but Mi Yuehua refused.
The old and young of the Zhai family had gloomy faces again, making it clear that they did not like lotus.
How could a beautiful woman not be worried when she has no partner at home?
Later, when Lao Lou came back and saw He Hua smiling like that again, she felt really upset.
She knew she was suspicious.
Now seeing that He Hua's whole heart was on Captain Zhai, Ou Xi actually breathed a sigh of relief.
That's fine.
"Then have you decided to catch that person?" Ou Xi asked again.
Lotus smiled and said, "Of course I have to pursue the man I like."
"But Captain Zhai hasn't divorced yet." Ou Xi suddenly remembered what Mi Yuehua told her, that Captain Zhai hasn't divorced yet.
Lotus said: "There is nothing to be afraid of if there is no divorce. He will get divorced one day. I am willing to wait for him."
During this time, she was not living in the family area for nothing. She had found out everything. The woman had not appeared for a long time. Captain Zhai had been looking for her, asking her to come back and get a divorce, but for two years, there was no sign of her.
It seems that Captain Zhai no longer has feelings for that woman. If he did, he would not be in a hurry to divorce.
She is confident that the man she likes, how could he escape from her grasp?
Men always think with their lower body. As long as she is willing, would Captain Zhai be unwilling?
…
The Zhai family is a different story.
Zhai Jianguo was helping his mother and son chop wood. Every time he came back, he would rush to do the work. He was in the army and could never go back. Every time he came back, he would do all the work at home.
He doesn't want to make his mother work too hard.
In the past two years, my mother's health has been getting better and better. The doctors at the Army Hospital are very good. My mother's cold legs have been almost cured. It's not like before, when she would feel pain every time she moved and couldn't walk. Now she walks slower and can walk normally.
My mother is getting healthier and healthier now, unlike when she was in the countryside, when she looked so old that it was a bit scary.
He took off his clothes and chopped wood with more energy.
"Jianguo, who were you talking to just now?" Grandma Zhai seemed to have heard something just now, as if her son was talking to a woman?
Zhai Hong also ran out, "Grandma, it's that bad woman."
"Which bad woman?" Grandma Zhai hadn't figured out who it was yet.
Zhai Hong said: "It's the lotus that wanted to marry my father last time."
Just now when Dad was talking to Hehua, he was standing by the window and saw everything clearly.
He didn't see his father's expression at that time, because his father was standing with his back to the window. He saw the woman's expression, and she was smiling in a lewd way.
Is she trying to seduce Daddy?
Zhai Hong was about to go out, but before he could, the woman left again.
He stood at the door, looking at his father's back, feeling indescribably sad in his heart. He didn't want his father to marry that woman.
"Jianguo, were you talking to that lotus just now?"
Zhai Jianguo frowned. That woman was He Hua? The He Hua who almost ruined his relationship with the battalion commander?
"I didn't know it was her." He didn't know her, so naturally he didn't know that the woman was her.
Granny Zhai stared at him, "Are you attracted by her beauty?" This was what she feared the most. The woman was so beautiful that she was afraid her son would not be able to resist the temptation.
Zhai Jianguo smiled and said, "Mother, I don't even know her. I just met her once, how could I be attracted to her? It's not like my son hasn't seen beautiful women before. Hongyan is much prettier than her."
Granny Zhai glanced at him suspiciously, but did not deny that Hongyan was indeed prettier than the woman named Hehua.
The beauty of the rainbow swallow is different from the beauty of this lotus.
Hongyan is warm and generous, and her appearance is also the kind of beauty that makes people feel at ease. But this Hehua is too charming and looks like she is not a serious woman.
This was also the reason why she didn't like this lotus at first sight.
The look in Lotus' eyes is so alluring that no man can withstand it.
She didn't want her son to have anything to do with this woman, as she felt it would cause trouble.
"Then what is she doing here?"
Zhai Jianguo said: "I really don't know her. She just came over to ask for a glass of water and said she was thirsty after walking here."
"Asking for water? This woman is really cunning. She can even say something like asking for water. You too, Jianguo. This is a family area. Who would ask you for water? It sounds like an excuse, but you believe it." Grandma Zhai couldn't help but say.
Zhai Jianguo said: "Whether I believed it or not is one thing, but she asked me for water, I couldn't refuse her, could I? Although I thought she was strange at the time, I didn't think much about it. I thought it was just a matter of a glass of water, and we didn't lack water."
Granny Zhai said, "You are a straightforward person. You don't think about some things. If this woman comes to you again in the future, you should be on your guard. This woman is not someone who can live in peace."
Zhai Hong suddenly hugged Zhai Jianguo's waist: "Dad."
Zhai Jianguo was startled when he was suddenly hugged. When he turned around, he was met with his son's worried eyes.
"What's wrong, Ahong?" Zhai Jianguo asked softly.
Zhai Hong said, "Father, I don't like her. Don't marry her."
Seeing his son's cautious look, Zhai Jianguo felt distressed. He said, "Dad will not get married, and will never get married in the future, don't worry."
In this life, having Hongyan as his only woman is enough, and he doesn't want to add more trouble by marrying another wife.
He was afraid that if he was away serving in the army, there would be a stepmother at home. What if she abused her son?
Zhai Hong said: "If my father wants to marry a wife, I will not stop him, but... I don't like that woman, it can't be her."
If Dad really wants to get married, he can't stop him. Instead of stopping him, it's better to let Dad choose a reliable woman himself.
However, he really didn't like the woman named Lotus. She didn't look like someone who could stay at home peacefully, and he was afraid that his father would be hurt and betrayed again.
Dad can't bear this kind of hurt again. Once is enough.
Grandma Zhai said, "Ah Hong is right. This woman must not enter the Zhai family. Even if you like her, I will not agree."
Zhai Jianguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mother, I really have nothing to do with her, and I will never have anything to do with her. This matter is not as simple as you think. The battalion commander and I almost took off our military uniforms because of this woman. Do you think I dare to have anything to do with this woman?"
Grandma Zhai suddenly became nervous: "What's going on?"
Zhai Jianguo did not hide anything and told them everything he and the battalion commander had guessed and what happened later.
He couldn't keep this a secret, and he didn't want his mother and son to worry.
"Bah, I knew this woman was restless. As expected, she brought such a disaster to the Zhai family before she even entered the house, and almost harmed Xia Sheng." Grandma Zhai cursed.
Zhai Hong also frowned. He also felt that Ou Xi's brain was not enough to accomplish this.
Is it really related to Deputy Headmaster Lou?
Zhai Hong gritted his teeth secretly, but had a plan in mind. This matter cannot be let go like this, he must find an opportunity to fight back.
"Son, you are right to think so." After scolding He Hua, Grandma Zhai breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, Dad, everything is fine, right?" Zhai Hong was thinking about another thing in his mind.
Zhai Jianguo nodded. Isn’t this just a surprise without any danger?
"Are you going to let the Lou family go just like that?" Zhai Hong asked again.
Zhai Jianguo said with a smile: "What else can we do? However, I'm afraid that Luo won't have such an easy life either. He will definitely have to bear the consequences."
Once they report this to the division headquarters, it will no longer be a personal grudge. The division headquarters will definitely investigate, and will the surname Luo still have something to gain by then?
Even if this wasn't Lou Jin's idea, he wasn't much better.
There is only one word that can describe it, and that is misery.
Granny Zhai said, "He deserves it!" He has a wife like this, but he doesn't discipline her well. If something goes wrong, of course he will be the one to bear the consequences.
At this time, Zhai Jianguo had already chopped all the firewood.
He was all sweaty, sticky, and uncomfortable.
Zhai Jianguo fetched some water in the yard and poured it over himself.
Their yard is different from the one where the Ran family lives.
This is a temporary addition, it is not a building but a bungalow.
This bungalow was originally built temporarily for soldiers in similar situations like him to live in.
There is naturally a well in the community, and there is one outside their bungalow.
The weather was hot now, so Zhai Jianguo just drew some well water and poured it over his head.
"Son, be careful not to catch a cold." Grandma Zhai warned.
Zhai Jianguo said, "Mother, no." When he was fighting in the war, cold water was poured in the middle of winter, let alone now it's the middle of summer, how could he catch a cold?
Seeing that her son didn't care, Grandma Zhai took a towel and went over to wipe his head.
Zhai Jianguo smiled and thought, does his mother still treat him as a child?
"In my heart, you will always be that child." Grandma Zhai wiped his hair carefully until she felt it was clean.
"Mom, I might get a promotion." Zhai Jianguo said suddenly.
"Is it true that I'm going to get promoted?" Granny Zhai's eyes sparkled. "Is this true?"
A promotion is good, what she hopes most is that her son can move up the career ladder.
When her son went out to join the army, he told her that he would work hard and bring another military officer to the family in the future.
The son did not break his promise and did it.
He is so young, but he is already a company commander. Now he is talking about promotion. Is he going to be promoted to battalion commander?
Their son was only 28 years old, and he was already going to be a battalion commander. How promising was that? When they returned home, they would talk about it and be amazed at how it had happened.
Grandma Zhai’s face was full of smiles.
Zhai Jianguo said: "Well, the battalion commander has received the appointment and will be the head of the newly built regiment. The appointment has been made. The head of the regiment said that he would take me with him to be the company commander of the newly built regiment."
Grandma Zhai said, "Xia Sheng is going to be the group leader?" The old lady was also happy for Ran Xia Sheng. The Ran family kid was really promising. How old was he? Thirty-two years old? He was already going to be the group leader. How promising was he.
If my son hangs out with Xia Sheng, he will definitely have a bright future.
"He is still a company commander, how can you say he was promoted?" Grandma Zhai asked again.
They are both company commanders, so aren't their positions the same? How can you say he was promoted?
Grandma Zhai didn't quite understand.
Zhai Jianguo said: "Mother, there are differences between company commanders."
Grandma Zhai still doesn’t understand, what’s the difference?
"Grandma, although Dad was always the company commander, from what Dad said, the newly-built regiment did not belong to any division, so it was larger than an ordinary regiment. So Dad's rank as company commander was naturally different from that of ordinary troops." Zhai Hong explained crisply.
Zhai Jianguo gave his son a "smart" look. His son was like him, incredibly smart.
He just mentioned it casually at the time, but his son remembered it and can now apply it to other situations.
Granny Zhai was puzzled: "Is it really like this? Jianguo, is that what Ah Hong said?"
"Mother, this matter is classified as confidential. You can't tell anyone."
Granny Zhai patted her chest and promised him that she would never tell anyone.
Zhai Hong also nodded, indicating that he would not leak the information.
"In fact, there are already many legends about this matter, but it has not been finalized internally. Now that it has been finalized, there are no more secrets. The military region wants to form this unit, which will be used to provoke the enemy's heart in the future war. Therefore, this unit is of utmost importance, and not everyone can lead it."
Zhai Jianguo couldn't explain it too clearly and could only say some things that could be passed on to others.
This troop is said to be organized as a regiment, but the orders they received internally were to temporarily declare it as such to the outside world.
In other words, this is a growing team that may expand at any time.
The commanders of this team are all the best selected from the military.
The fact that both he and the battalion commander were selected shows that the organization trusts them.
I heard that the regiment political commissar was transferred from the deputy political commissar of a division in another army. It was a redeployment device. From the deputy political commissar of a division to the political commissar of a regiment, it seemed like a demotion, but in fact it was a promotion in secret.
Everyone is optimistic about this team. If possible, the division political commissar would like to be transferred directly to take up this position. Unfortunately, this is against the rules.
The battalion commander is the real winner in life. He was promoted from the acting deputy commander of an ordinary unit to the chief officer of this unit. This is not something that ordinary people can achieve.
He was also secretly glad that they had reported to the division headquarters what Ou Xi had introduced to him.
He still remembered that the division political commissar told them at the time, "It's a good thing you reported this matter, otherwise you would have lost your position as regiment commander."
Yes, fortunately it was reported, otherwise the battalion commander would not be able to become the regiment commander.
It was a very dangerous thing, just a little bit away.
Fortunately, my sister-in-law called the battalion commander and told him about it. The battalion commander realized that this was not a simple matter, so he took me to report the matter to the division headquarters, which led to the good things that happened later.
"Jianguo, just follow Xia Sheng. Xia Sheng is a loyal man and he will not treat you unfairly." Grandma Zhai couldn't help but say.
Zhai Jianguo said, "Mother, I know everything. The battalion commander is my benefactor. He has been with me since I was a new recruit. From a new recruit to the current company commander, he is the one who brought me out. I always remember him in my heart."
"Dad Ran, very good." Zhai Hong also echoed.
"Son, you must also remember to be nice to Yingying and treat her as your own sister, okay?" Zhai Jianguo couldn't help but remind him.
Zhai Hong nodded: "Dad, I know I will be better than my own sister."
…
The matter of lotus was just a small episode for both the Ran family and the Zhai family.
Ran Xiasheng was about to be promoted to a new unit. That unit was not in this county, but in another city in the southwest, about seven or eight hours' drive from here.
Actually, it’s not close, it’s still quite far.
Naturally, this family area cannot be lived in anymore.
Moreover, there is another good news. When they go there, they don’t need to live in a temporary family quarters far away from the troops, but can live inside the troops.
The military region attaches great importance to this newly established team.
The barracks are all newly built, and the family quarters are even newer.
Having lived here for two years, it would be a lie to say that she has no feelings for the place at all. Ran Yingying still feels reluctant to leave.
Here, she has many friends, including Grandpa Chen, but now she has to let go.
She is going to follow her father to the new unit.
But she was also happy.
Because she could finally be with her father all the time and they no longer had to live apart like this.
Dad told her that the family compound was inside the army, and Dad could walk to and from get off work every day.
She can also go to the barracks to play with her father, which is exciting just thinking about it.
She is full of expectations for this new home.
The only person I can’t bear to part with is probably my brother.
What will my brother do now that she is gone?
My brother is still in this family area, so it will be very difficult for the two siblings to meet in the future.
"Brother, I'm leaving and going to another city. Dad said that he will be transferred there, but I can't bear to leave you. What can I do?" Ran Yingying's face was full of reluctance.
Zhai Hong said: "Don't cry, we will meet again."
Ran Yingying was immersed in her own thoughts and did not notice the smile on Zhai Hong's face.
She said, "But... when can we meet again? What if you forget me in the future?" She sniffed.
Zhai Hong said: "No, we will meet soon. I will not forget you, and you will not forget me."
Ran Yingying was amused by his words. Her brother said he would never forget her and she hoped he could do so.
"Then let's make a deal. You can't regret it."
"Okay, pull the hook." Zhai Hong stretched out his little paw.
The two claws hooked together.
The two smiles were brighter than the sun.
On one of the smiling faces, tears were streaming.
The boy reached out his hand and wiped away her tears: "You turned into a big tabby cat."
Ran Yingying rubbed her face towards Zhai Hong, "You are the one who caused the big cat to fail."
However, Zhai Hong didn't mind that the tears on her face splashed all over him.
…
The Ran family has a lot of things to move.
They bought a lot of things over the years, some of which they did not bring with them, but they still filled a large car.
The car was borrowed from the army and it was a large truck.
Ran Xiasheng did not leave alone, but brought many people from his original troops with him, including Zhai Jianguo.
Zhai Jianguo was going to go with him, and naturally, Grandma Zhai and Zhai Hong would also go. He couldn't just abandon his mother and son in this family area.
While getting in the car, Ran Yingying met Zhai Hong.
Her eyes widened.
"Brother, we are going to the Bai market."
Zhai Hong said, "I know."
"Then are you still going with me? You won't be able to go home then."
"Wherever you are, there I am."
Ran Yingying was moved, sobbing, so moving what her brother said.
It’s a pity that my brother can’t go with her because grandma is still here.
Then, she saw Grandma Zhai also got on the truck.
"Grandma?" Ran Yingying was stunned.
It's possible that my brother followed her, but what about my grandmother? Why did she get on the bus too?
"Grandma couldn't bear to leave Yingying, so she followed her too." Grandma Zhai said with a smile.
Ran Yingying threw herself into Grandma Zhai's arms, deeply moved.
But, belatedly, she felt something was wrong.
My brother is gone, and my grandmother is gone too. This doesn’t seem like it.
Could it be that...
Ran Yingying's eyes lit up: "Brother, has Father Zhai also been transferred to Bai City?"
Only in this way would my brother and grandmother go with me.
Otherwise, how would it be possible if Zhai's father had not been transferred there?
Mi Yuehua smiled and rubbed Ran Yingying's head, ruffling her hair into a mess.
"Silly child, you just thought of it?"
Ran Yingying widened her eyes. So there was no so-called brother protecting her to Bai City?
Is she just being overly sentimental?
Woohoo! My brother is so bad. He actually lied to her.
"Your father was transferred to Bai City to be the commander. How could he not transfer your father Zhai as well? He is his right-hand man. Not only your father Zhai was transferred there, but many of your father's former team members were also temporarily transferred there." Mi Yuehua explained.
Ran Yingying listened and finally understood.
Combined with what she had learned before, her father was not serving as an ordinary military commander this time, but the commander of a special force.
The unit is newly established and is still in the exploratory stage. This task is very heavy. If it fails, the responsibility will be great.
Dad had been the captain of a special operations team during his time in the war. He had many veterans with special operations skills under him. How could he not bring them along this time?
Of course they have to be brought over. With these veterans training the new recruits, it will be easier to lead the team.
Therefore, Zhai Dad had long been among the candidates considered by my father.
Since Zhai's father was transferred there, how could his brother and grandmother stay in their original family area? Of course, they would be taken there together.
So, her worries were in vain.
There was no separate scene at all; they were supposed to go together.
No wonder my brother is not anxious or sad at all.
At that time, she thought her brother was just forcing himself to smile, but now she realized that he had already known about it and had kept it a secret from her.
She pouted and snorted at Zhai Hong.
Her brother was so mean, and it made her anxious.
He turned his back and gave Zhai Hong a cold look.
