Qin Yushen and Luo Qingming were both shocked.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at them and said with a smile, "Hardship may indeed polish out brilliance, but there is no need to sing praises, and you do not have to be heroes who overcome all obstacles."
In Lin Xiaoxiao's value system, suffering is suffering; it is neither worthy of praise nor celebration, and it will not bring success.
It may forge resilience, but happiness can also nurture a strong heart.
—
The next day, amidst the farewells of Sister-in-law Wang and many other women, Lin Xiaoxiao, her two companions, and a mouse left the family compound.
Shao Gang took a day off and drove them to the city's train station in his jeep.
On the way, Qin Yushen and Shao Gang talked a lot.
"This year's new recruits are truly full of hidden talents. Han Ling got into the artillery regiment; that guy has some professional skills."
"You told me to pay close attention to him, but I've actually grown to like this kid. I was thinking of recruiting him into our team, but Old Zhou moved too fast."
"Some of the others joined the communications company, while others became clerks for their superiors."
Qin Yu expressed his deep gratitude, saying, "I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on things from now on."
Especially Han Ling.
He's Han Xiu's younger brother, after all.
Although Han Xiu didn't seem to care about his younger brother on the surface, he wouldn't just stand by and watch Han Ling be bullied by a nanny's son. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used his connections to send Han Ling to the Jiangcheng Military Region.
With Commander Han's connections and influence, Han Ling could have avoided joining the army to avoid being sent to the countryside.
It seems someone is interfering.
This forced Han Ling to leave Beijing.
Shao Gang said nonchalantly, "It's no big deal, no need to thank me. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things, nothing will go wrong."
Qin Yu deeply trusted him.
If he didn't trust him, he wouldn't have entrusted Han Ling to him.
You should know that Han Ling is not a peaceful person either. Back in Beijing, he was keen to oppose Commander Han, causing chaos in the entire Han family.
When Commander Han tried to teach him a lesson, he stubbornly retorted, "If you're so capable, then sever our father-son relationship, kick me out of the Han family like an older brother, and leave everything in the Han family to that bitch's child."
"That's just my personality. If you think I'm a disgrace to you as your son, then I don't want you to be my father."
Commander Han has two sons. The elder one severed ties with the Han family and is doing very well in Beijing. He even got a job in the National Security Bureau. Even Commander Han has to admit that his elder son is outstanding.
The youngest son is a reckless brat who has inherited almost all of his older brother's personality.
The Han family has only two sons in this generation. No matter how much Commander Han likes his wife who married him later and how much he loves his stepson, he cannot let the Han family line die out.
Therefore, he was completely helpless against Han Ling.
When his wife suggested that Han Ling join the army to temper his character, he agreed without hesitation.
Originally, they intended to send Han Ling to the harshest frontier, but Han Xiu intervened and sent Han Ling to Jiangcheng instead.
Han Xiu understands Qin Yushen, and Qin Yushen also understands Han Xiu.
The moment Qin Yushen saw Han Ling in the recruit camp, he understood Han Xiu's intention.
The situation in Beijing has been turbulent these past few years. With Han Ling's fearless nature, he'll inevitably stumble one day. It's better to go with the flow and push him out of Beijing, away from the center of the struggle.
When things improve in a few years, we'll transfer him back.
Upon arriving at the train station, Qin Yushen took his military officer's ID to collect the tickets, while Lin Xiaoxiao and Luo Qingming went to buy some food.
Half an hour later, the train started moving.
Lin Xiaoxiao took a train from Beijing to Jiangcheng, and then took another train from Jiangcheng back to Beijing.
In just six months, it felt like half a lifetime had passed.
The difference is that when she came, she only carried a worn-out little handbag, but when she returned, she was accompanied by the two most important men in her life.
A relative, a lover.
"Where will we stay when we get to Beijing?" Lin Xiaoxiao had stayed up late last night to pack her things and got up early today, so she hadn't had enough sleep and felt a bit lazy.
Qin Yushen told her to lie down and sleep for a while. Before she lay down, she asked about her accommodation.
“There’s a courtyard house about 20 kilometers from the Beijing Military Region. It’s usually a 30-minute drive back. If you don’t want to live in the family compound, we can stay at your home.”
Without a doubt, that courtyard house belonged to Qin Yushen.
Lin Xiaoxiao perked up immediately, sat up and leaned against him, her eyes bright, "Won't your daily commute be more than an hour? Won't that be a hassle?"
Qin Yu shook his head. "It's no trouble. It's more comfortable staying at home."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "That's right, the family compound is full of complicated people, and even eating meat usually gets you questioned for ages."
I feel so uncomfortable.
Living in an apartment building means even less privacy.
Whatever the couple does, the neighbors can hear it all clearly, and the next day when they get up, they'll be teased by others.
Although Lin Xiaoxiao has a carefree personality, she is more conservative than anyone else when it comes to certain private matters.
With the door closed, the couple can do whatever they want, but it would be a little embarrassing if someone heard them.
Therefore, Lin Xiaoxiao made a snap decision, "Then let's live in a courtyard house."
After deciding on her accommodation, Lin Xiaoxiao began planning in her mind, "The courtyard house is old, it definitely needs to be renovated..."
Qin Yu was somewhat annoyed. Why hadn't he thought to have someone repair the courtyard in advance?
On his second day in Beijing, he had to report to the military region. He didn't know if he could take a few days off to settle things at home before starting work.
After hearing his concerns, Lin Xiaoxiao said, "It's okay, I can ask Chu Wuyan for help. That guy will definitely be willing."
