Jiang Hu saw Yuanyuan and happily picked her up. Unlike her chubby baby days, the girl now had two braids, big, round eyes, and a slightly pouting mouth; she was clearly a beauty in the making.
"Brother Dongzi, I think we should become in-laws in the future. You and I, and my Guanglei is also quite good."
Song Dongzheng was just thinking last night about which bastard would kidnap his son, but when he heard Jiang Hu's words, he immediately got angry and quickly snatched his daughter into his arms.
"No way! Your son is two years older than my daughter!"
Jiang Hu laughed and said, "It's alright, your sister-in-law is three years older than you. I think it's fine."
Song Dongzheng was furious. "Don't even think about it!"
Su Yu and Li Ping ignored the two men's commotion and sat in the study to chat.
Li Ping repeated Li Guoliang's words to Su Yu, "My dad will help you in the future. But he can't be too obvious about it; it's a big taboo for the military to interfere in local affairs."
Su Yu was surprised that Li Ping's old-fashioned father had actually come to terms with things. Gao Xin said, "I won't go to him unless absolutely necessary. I know all the ins and outs in this matter very well. Actually, as long as the comrades in the Armed Forces Department cooperate, there's usually no need to go to the Provincial Military Region. But with your father like this, I feel at ease. At least I don't have to worry about the comrades in the Armed Forces Department. Li Ping, thank you so much!"
"No need to thank me. My dad only agreed because you did the right thing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to help. And Sister Su Yu, I really admire you. If it were anyone else, how could they possibly do this with you? My dad and the others are all living their own lives behind closed doors."
"Different responsibilities mean that sometimes it's easier for people like us to get things done."
The two had just finished talking when the man outside finally calmed down. It was unclear who had won the argument, but Song Dongzheng certainly didn't give Jiang Hu a friendly look.
Su Yu said with a smile, "He's already been working like a slave for his daughter, so don't hold it against him. Now he sees everyone as someone who's trying to take his daughter away from him."
Jiang Hu said dishonestly, "I really want to fight him for my daughter."
Su Yu burst out laughing.
Li Ping nudged Jiang Hu, "Speak properly."
Jiang Hu finally calmed down and said to Song Dongzheng, "Brother Dongzi, I won't. My son will come to find you later."
Song Dongzheng's gaze was enough to kill him.
Then she sent the child to her grandmother's place before returning to talk business with them.
Li Ping and Jiang Hu briefly discussed the situation in the southwest.
The situation in the southwest is quite stable right now. After all, there was a war just a few years ago, and the border has been on high alert, so the troops are quite calm and have been largely unaffected.
Jiang Hu is now a regimental commander in a combat unit, a very important position, and both Li Ping and Jiang Hu have stable lives. Because of this, Jiang Hu's adoptive parents have gone to help him raise the child in the southwest, a place relatively far from the fighting.
Su Yu and Song Dongzheng then reviewed the situation in the provincial capital, including the farm in that mountain valley.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hu said, "My dad has some old friends, could we arrange for them to go there?"
Su Yu said, "I've thought about this before, but I can't get involved in matters outside the province for the time being. I can only assign people here randomly. I'll only arrange for them to go over there after I've investigated and confirmed that there are no problems."
"That's easy to handle. It's just a change in the location of the transfer. My dad can contact an old friend to arrange that."
Su Yu nodded, "The number of people shouldn't be too large at once."
Jiang Hu said seriously, "My dad and his colleagues used to work in espionage, so they have experience in this area."
That solves the problem. Once the provincial government takes over, Su Yu can handle everything.
Li Ping said solemnly, "Sister Su Yu, Jiang Hu and I will not be back for a while after we leave. If you need anything, write to me. If it's inconvenient to write, just send me the password."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Just relax and live your life peacefully. I can handle this. The hardest part is over, and things are back on track now. It's all fine. And it's not as complicated as you think. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to do this. Actually, the higher-ups didn't intend to make such a big fuss. It was just some low-level officials messing around that set the tone. I don't think this will last long; it'll be fine in a few years."
The other three remained silent.
They ate dumplings together that evening before Li Ping and Jiang Hu went home. They were taking a bus back to the southwest tomorrow, and they didn't know when they would see each other again.
Song Dongzheng and Su Yu, a married couple, accompanied them for a long distance before they went home.
Li Ping kept looking back at Su Yu, feeling extremely sad.
“I used to admire Sister Su Yu and wanted to become as outstanding as her. That was one of the reasons I joined the army. But now I realize that I can never catch up with Sister Su Yu. I can't do what she did.”
While Sister Su Yu was working tirelessly and traveling around, she was still living a peaceful life in the southwest.
Jiang Hu put his arm around her shoulder and said, “There will always be a time when we are needed. Everyone takes a different path and contributes in different ways. But our goal is the same: to make this country strong and our nation prosperous.”
To achieve this goal, we are willing to sacrifice our lives.
Li Ping held his hand tightly.
Before returning to the guesthouse, the two went to the Li family's place first. After all, Ming was leaving soon, and they wanted to say goodbye to their family one last time.
