It was too late for Zhu Yuqin to hide.
Even in the dead of winter, sweat beaded on her forehead, fearing that her two children might say something surprising.
But how could the clever older child do that?
"I'm so sorry, the kids were too noisy and I couldn't control them for a moment. I'll take them away now," Zhao Qinglan said with an apologetic expression.
Before Zhu Yuqin could reply, Zhao Qinglan snapped at the children, "If you don't behave, I'll beat you up."
The three children stuck out their tongues and ran off one after another.
Zhao Qinglan smiled at Zhu Yuqin, then turned and strode away.
Zhu Yuqin's tense mood eased a little after not hearing what the two brothers said to her. However, she was still afraid that the brothers might say something else when they got back, and she couldn't completely relax.
Once they were far from Zhu Yuqin's house, Zhao Qinglan quickly asked, "Is it her?"
"That's her."
It's her.
The three children eagerly answered.
Once Zhao Qinglan confirmed who was secretly watching their family, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that they know who it is, they can be more cautious. But it's strange, since Deputy Battalion Commander Wei and Li Huai aren't that close and have no grudges, why is his wife keeping an eye on their family?
"Big brother, I have a question for you. Don't take it too seriously." Although the big brother was still young, Zhao Qinglan asked in a serious tone.
The older child nodded. "I'm not that stingy."
"That auntie, did your mother ever come to your house when she was still alive?" Since it might not be clear from Li Huai's perspective, it might be related to Zhu Kexin.
When Zhao Qinglan mentioned his mother, Da Wa paused for a moment, but still tried hard to recall.
"I don't remember her coming."
After he finished speaking, he looked at his younger brother.
Erwa immediately shook his head. "I don't remember either." Actually, he was only a young child, and he could remember very little about his past.
Not even familiar with Zhu Kexin? That's strange.
Unable to figure it out, she decided to stop dwelling on the issue for the time being. Knowing who it was, she would continue the investigation.
"Thank you for cooperating with the act. I'll make you something delicious again today."
"Oh, that's great!" Erwa was the first to cheer.
The mother and her children happily went home together.
At this moment, Li Zhenhua was also leaving, accompanied by leaders of the military region.
"There's really no need to send anyone to accompany me. I'm using this official business as an excuse to take care of personal matters," Li Zhenhua declined.
Even if he really said that, the military region couldn't possibly send no one along. After all, Li Zhenhua was of a certain rank, and it would be impolite not to send someone.
In the end, the military region sent a car to take Li Zhenhua and his bodyguard there. In addition to the driver, a staff member from the military region would also be in the car.
Because Li Zhenhua felt that visiting his grandchildren was a private matter, he also wouldn't allow his comrades from the military region, such as Li Huai, to visit his regiment.
However, as soon as the car set off, the military region immediately made a phone call to Sun Shengli.
Sun Shengli was smoking and reading documents in his office when he received a call from the military region. He immediately threw down his cigarette and stood up.
"Understood, yes."
After hanging up the phone, Sun Shengli still felt it was all very sudden.
As Li Huai's direct superior, he had naturally seen Li Huai's personal file and knew who his father was. However, in all the years Li Huai had been in their regiment, he had never returned to his home in the capital, nor had he mentioned his father.
Even though Li Huai hadn't discussed it in detail, he and Political Commissar Zhou Hai guessed that the family relationships were probably quite complicated.
However, these are all private matters, and as long as Li Huai doesn't cause any problems at work, they won't interfere.
Although the higher-ups said that Li Zhenhua's arrival in their regiment was not for official business, Sun Shengli still had to take it seriously.
He immediately called Zhou Hai over, and the two sat down to discuss the matter.
There has to be a limit to how much importance they should attach to it; at the very least, they can't call a meeting with everyone in the group to announce it.
However, after the two of them finished meeting, Sun Shengli still went down to inspect the area, feeling uneasy.
With him, the regimental commander, wandering around, those bastards' skin will be tightened.
Just as Sun Shengli had expected, wherever he went, whether they were on guard duty or training, the soldiers were all more tense and solemn than the last.
Only after achieving the desired effect did Sun Shengli turn around and go back.
He had mentioned in a previous meeting that a leader might come over, and everyone should take it seriously. Now that he had come out to inspect the area in person, the battalions and companies below had all become more attentive.
Li Huai doesn't need to personally lead the team's training; he's currently sitting in his office handling official business.
After inspecting the area, Sun Shengli changed course and went to his place.
Hearing a knock on the door, Li Huai looked over and saw the regimental commander standing smiling in front of the door. He immediately stood up.
"Commander, why are you here again? Just call me if you need anything."
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's nothing important, let's sit down and talk slowly."
Li Huai immediately went to the thermos and poured water.
After he sat down, Sun Shengli slowly said, "I just came here to give you a heads-up, so you wouldn't be caught off guard."
A reminder? And we need to be mentally prepared? Li Huai became curious.
"Well, Commander Li Zhenhua has come to our military region and is on his way to our regiment by car."
Upon hearing his father's name, Li Huai frowned.
Seeing that he showed no joy at the prospect of meeting his father, Sun Shengli couldn't help but advise, "Li Huai, although I don't know much about your family, the commander has come all this way and is an elder. Let's just let it go for the sake of appearances, don't you think?"
"Understood, Commander. I won't do anything," Li Huai said calmly.
Since he's here, what else can Li Zhenhua do?
Just as the regimental commander said, he treated him as a leader and elder who came to inspect.
Seeing that he didn't react violently, Sun Shengli was relieved.
He just wanted the leader to arrive safely, and for them to leave this big shot safely; he didn't care about anything else.
On the way here, Li Zhenhua was both nervous and expectant.
He wanted to ask the staff accompanying him more about his son, but unfortunately, although Li Huai was a young and promising deputy regimental commander, he was not a big shot in the military region, so the staff would not know much about him.
After Sun Shengli left, Li Huai sat quietly for a while, then suddenly went over and picked up the phone.
He called Wu Mei. "Sister-in-law, could you please call Qinglan for me? I need to speak with her."
Wu Mei quickly agreed and went out. Just as she left, Zhao Qinglan returned with a few children.
Zhao Qinglan found it strange when she heard Li Huai calling her.
This person is in the military camp. How urgent must it be that they can't wait until after get off work to tell her and have to make a phone call first?
Thinking about this made her a little nervous.
With a nervous heart, she picked up the microphone and had just said "It's me" when she heard Li Huai say in a serious tone, "Qinglan, my dad will be at the troupe soon."
What? Her father-in-law is coming!
