"Comrade Xiao Fan is here as a guest. How's work going lately?"
When Commander Liao saw Fan Juan and Qin Nian come out, he smiled and spoke.
"Everything went well. You seem especially happy today."
Fan Juan answered with a smile.
"I'm so happy! My rascal has finally taken a vacation and come back to see me. Didn't Comrade Xiao Fan see him?"
“Niannian and I were inside the house the whole time, so we probably didn’t run into each other. Your son came to see you, no wonder you’re so happy.”
Fan Juan treated it as casual conversation.
"Haha, yeah! yeah!"
Commander Liao observed the expression on Fan Juan's face and his heart sank. It was all over. No wonder that brat was putting on a pitiful act in front of him. It turned out that Comrade Fan really didn't like his brat.
"Comrade Fan looks even thinner than before. He must be working very hard."
Commander Liao quickly changed the subject.
That brat isn't doing his job; he can't be a burden.
"It wasn't hard work, it was very fulfilling, and I even gained weight."
Fan Juan answered sincerely that she had been eating and drinking well since returning to China. Although she was busy, she hadn't lost weight. On the contrary, this Mr. Liao seemed to pay extra attention to her.
Qin Nian remained silent, meeting Fan Juan's gaze and then glancing at Commander Liao.
"You know my son, Xiao Fan. He came today, saying he was coming to see this old man, but actually he came to show off. He said he's taken a fancy to a really, really good girl."
I said, "How could such a wonderful girl be interested in him? She'd already been reserved by someone else." But then he said his name, and it turned out she really was a rare find.
Commander Liao took the initiative to speak, and Fan Juan recognized him. Looking at Commander Liao, she suddenly remembered someone.
"So Liao Yuanjie is your son. I really didn't know that before."
Fan Juan suddenly wanted to leave.
"Yes, that brat takes after me, stubborn. But there's one thing: we both have his mother's surname. In our family, there's no difference between girls and boys. I have three daughters, two are in the army, and one is a military doctor. They're all very strong-willed. But I think it's all good."
When Commander Liao suddenly brought up his family matters, Fan Juan was slightly taken aback. This short sentence contained a lot of information.
“We’ve all come from hard times, and we’ve long seen through it all. We don’t ask for anything in this life, just to have a clear conscience and do things without shame. What do you think, Xiao Fan?”
Commander Liao looked at Fan Juan with affection, and Fan Juan nodded slightly.
"Grandpa Liao, are you telling us another war story? We want to hear it too!"
Li Wu suddenly rushed over.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you something you've never heard of before."
Commander Liao said no more and began to tell a story to a group of children.
"You knew but didn't remind me?"
Fan Juan looked at Qin Nian.
"I only found out today at the social gathering. We've been together the whole way back, and I didn't do anything."
Qin Nian expressed her innocence and said she would not take the blame.
"Sigh, why do you think people get married?"
Fan Juan's words left Qin Nian slightly stunned. Why get married? It seemed she didn't know either.
Why did you get married in the first place?
Fan Juan suddenly became curious.
"I don't want the hassle."
