Next, Qin Hanshu took Zhou Ruilan and Yang Le to travel around Jiangcheng.

After this incident, Yang Le became obviously more cheerful and laughed more often.

Zhou Ruilan also noticed this and couldn't help but reflect on herself, "Was I too strict with Lele before? I made him less childish."

Qin Hanshu nodded directly and said, "Of course, Lele is very lively."

Zhou Ruilan blamed herself a little, "I will pay more attention next time."

Qin Hanshu patted the back of her hand and sighed, "Anyway, I still say the same thing. You have your mother's family as your backing, so don't be afraid of anything."

Zhou Ruilan nodded silently.

She had actually thought about divorce. When she got really angry, this thought would naturally pop up in her mind. If she could get through it, she would, but if she couldn't, then forget it. She wasn't afraid.

But when she calmed down, she felt that it didn't really come to that. Yang Guangyu hadn't done anything wrong in his work style, and he hadn't hit her.

Moreover, she also has feelings for Yang Guangyu. Although these feelings have been faded a lot over the years, the foundation is still there.

As the old saying goes, it is better for a couple to stay together as they were originally.

Who can guarantee what kind of person she will find after leaving Yang Guangyu?

Find another spouse who got along well with you, and if things don't work out, get divorced again?

Zhou Ruilan looked at Qin Hanshu and sighed.

Her third sister-in-law, who was far away in Jiangcheng, tried her best to help her. It was indeed time for her to stand on her own feet.

After this trip to Jiangcheng, her mind became more open and she already had some plans in mind.

Zhou Ruilan returned a few days earlier than expected.

Seeing that she was in much better condition, Qin Hanshu did not try to persuade her to stay.

***

Qin Hanshu had no interest in watching TV, but after returning from his hometown, Zhou Sheng kept asking to watch TV every day.

Qin Hanshu bought all the electrical appliances that the family needed, including a TV, a rice cooker, a refrigerator...

I bought a washing machine before, so there is no need to buy another one.

Everyone in the hospital knew that Qin Feiyang opened an electrical appliance store, but no one gossiped about her lavish behavior.

Recently, television and radio have been broadcasting things about war. Zhou Sheng sits in front of the TV every day, watching them with his blood boiling and tears in his eyes.

"I want to go to the battlefield too!"

"I want to be a hero and die gloriously!"

Qin Hanshu said: "So you don't pick up trash anymore?"

There were a lot of garbage picked up by Zhou Sheng piled up at home. Qin Hanshu threw it away secretly once. When he found out, he cried sadly.

Zhou Sheng thought for a moment and said, "I will go to the battlefield when I grow up. Now I will just pick up trash."

Zhou Weiguang snorted and laughed: "You have picked up all the garbage in the yard. You are almost becoming the garbage king."

Zhou Sheng ignored him and asked Zhou Weiguang: "Dad, when will you die gloriously?"

Zhou Weiguang: “…”

Zhou Sheng: "You're not going to fight either, are you a deserter?"

Zhou Weiguang took a deep breath and patiently explained, "In war, you have to obey orders. Whoever is ordered to go to the battlefield will go. It's not like you can go just because you want to."

Zhou Sheng nodded seriously, as if he understood.

Zhou Weiguang privately sighed to Qin Hanshu: "This kid might really be a good candidate for the military."

Qin Hanshu shook his head and said, "He is still young, what can he see? You are not allowed to interfere with his future. When he grows up, he can do whatever he wants."

Most of the soldiers Qin Hanshu has come into contact with over the years seem to have a complex about wanting their descendants to take over from them.

She didn't want to be like Zhou Weiguang. Joining the army was a good thing, but what ultimately mattered was the child's own wishes.

Zhou Weiguang chuckled, "Don't worry, you are the one who makes the decisions about our family affairs, and the children will listen to you as well."

Qin Han gave him a glare and said, "They didn't listen to me, they listened to themselves."

Zhou Weiguang didn't take this question to heart at all. He nodded absentmindedly, "Well, let them listen to themselves." His hands had already started to get naughty.

He only goes home once every one or two months now, and every time he goes home it is a protracted battle.

This separation lasted for a total of three years.

In 1985, Zhou Weiguang was transferred back to the garrison area, a level higher, and his family began to prepare to move.

It’s still in the staff quarters, but it’s a bigger house with a yard on the first floor and three bedrooms.

Qin Hanshu took a day off specifically to move.

Although there was an extra bedroom, Zhou Qi and Zhou Sheng still lived together, sleeping on bunk beds, and the other bedroom was for Gu Yan.

Gu Yan was a little panicked and said that she would just set up a camp bed in the living room.

Before Qin Hanshu could say anything, Zhou Weiguang sternly denied it.

Qin Hanshu knew what was in his mind, but she didn't expose him. She just looked at him with a smile.

Zhou Weiguang didn't blush at all and said to Gu Yan: "You must sleep in the bedroom, this is an order!"

Gu Yan was so frightened that she was stunned and quickly agreed.

Gu Yan has lived in the family for seven years. During this period, she had a boyfriend but the relationship ended. Recently, she often receives letters from home urging her to go back for blind dates and get married.

Qin Hanshu naturally didn't want her to leave. It was not easy to find a suitable nanny. She and Gu Yan had already gotten along perfectly over the years, and it was hard to tell what it would be like if she changed someone else.

However, Gu Yan was hesitant, and Qin Hanshu did not say much to interfere with her choice. He also prepared a red envelope and would give it to her if she left.

In the end, it was Gu Yan's younger brother who persuaded her not to return to her hometown.

She said she was only 24 years old and that late marriage and late childbirth were encouraged nowadays, so she could at least work hard for another two or three years and save more money for herself.

Qin Hanshu was happy to see this happen and no longer had to worry about the nanny issue for the time being.

That day, Qin Hanshu and Zhou Weiguang returned home together and found that there was a guest at home.

As soon as Zhou Weiguang saw the person, he immediately went up to him excitedly.

"Qi Feng!"

After the introduction, Qin Hanshu learned that Qi Feng was Zhou Weiguang's old comrade-in-arms.

Qi Feng greeted Qin Hanshu somewhat stiffly, "Sister-in-law."

Qin Hanshu responded with a smile, and seeing that Gu Yan had already made tea, he said, "I'll go cut some fruit for you."

Qi Feng hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, no need..."

Zhou Weiguang pulled Qi Feng to sit down and asked about his recent situation.

The two had not been in contact for many years, but Zhou Weiguang's unit had not changed, so Qi Feng was easy to find.

Looking at the house Zhou Weiguang was given, Qi Feng smiled and said, "You are doing well now."

"That's it..." Zhou Weiguang looked at Qi Feng and asked, "Are you quitting?"

Qi Feng smiled and said, "I've been retired for two years."

Calculating the time, Zhou Weiguang felt something in his heart and looked at Qi Feng again.

Seeing that his mind was working so quickly, Qi Feng smiled and said, "I can't hide it from you. Yes, I retired from the battlefield with a lame leg."

As he said this, he pulled up his right trouser leg.

A prosthetic limb suddenly appeared before my eyes.
