"I heard from your mother-in-law that you plan to take the child to join the army?" Gigi Lai asked Shen Qingli while sitting in the back seat holding the child.
She and Aunt Liu sat in the back seat holding the child, and let Shen Qingli sit in the front.
She agreed with this decision, as the long-term separation between her son-in-law and daughter might indeed affect the relationship between the couple.
Besides, how can a man just sit back and do nothing when it comes to such a hard job as raising children?
Father and mother are the most important people in a child’s childhood, and Meng Xiao always participates in raising the child.
"Well, Meng Xiao will pick us up at home when he has time."
Chen Ping joined in:
"If he's busy, don't let him pick it up. I'll take you there."
"We'll see when the time comes. I'll stay at home for a few days. We haven't even returned home yet, are you chasing me away?" Shen Qingli said jokingly, pretending to be sad.
"You're talking nonsense. You can stay as long as you want, or even for the rest of your life. You're my daughter, why should I force you out?"
Chen Ping felt that his daughter seemed to be more cheerful and bright after getting married. She used to be well-behaved but a little introverted and dull, and seemed mature beyond her years.
She was now more energetic than before, a quality more in line with her age. He had never given it much thought, simply thinking that Meng Xiao had changed his daughter's personality, making her more cheerful and energetic.
This proves that my daughter is living a good life! If she hadn't been happy and suffered a lot after marriage, she wouldn't be in this situation now.
"I saw that guy a few days ago. He's your uncle Ye's son, Ye Mingchuan, the boy you used to cling to when you were little. He's grown up to be quite impressive. Meng Xiao mentioned before that they're comrades and colleagues now, right?"
"Well, Brother Mingchuan also came to the baby's full moon party yesterday. I gave the baby to him as my godfather."
Chen Ping was a little surprised: "Is that kid so close to Meng Xiao?" Yes, the two of them gave people a very similar feeling, like the same type of people, so it was understandable that they had a close relationship.
Shen Qingli was distracted and silent for a moment before speaking softly.
"Brother Mingchuan blocked two bullets for Meng Xiao on the day the child was born. Meng Xiao said that if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been able to dodge the bullet aimed at his heart that day."
"Oh my god!" Before Shen Ping could say anything, Li Zi spoke in shock.
Without Ye Mingchuan, what consequences would Meng Xiao have to face?
The daughter lost her husband, the newborn child lost his father, and the Meng family lost their eldest grandson. Both the Shen and Meng families will fall into deep grief!
"Where's Mingchuan? Is he okay?" Chen Ping frowned and asked to the side.
"He was rescued in time. He has returned to the team."
What Shen Qingli didn't say much was that if Meng Xiao hadn't fed him four drops of spiritual spring liquid in a row, Ye Mingchuan's life would have been in vain, and he would have had a bullet wound around the nerves in his arm.
Sometimes she was really glad that she had this incredible space and treasure.
Gigi Lai breathed a sigh of relief: "God bless you."
Shen Ping was silent for a moment, "It's already noon when we go back today, let's wait until tomorrow, I will take you to the Ye family tomorrow."
"My father-in-law and the old man have already been to the Ye family once some time ago. Meng Xiao meant that we should go visit them again on the day he comes."
For something like this, it's not excessive to go to the person's house to express your gratitude, even if it's just a kowtow.
"That's okay too."

"Grandpa, why don't you eat?"
Fu Chen received a call from the caregiver of the old man in the nursing home, saying that the old man had not eaten for a day and wanted him to come over. He came over as soon as he got off work.
Although I know that the old man deliberately used this trick to lure him over, I have to say that this trick is quite useful.
Old Master Fu snorted lightly, turned his head away arrogantly and ignored him, looking out the window with a serious and profound look.
"Tell me, which girl do you want me to meet this time?" He was helpless. The old man always used the trick of not eating to force him to go on a blind date. Maybe he was even older, and the old man's conditions had been relaxed to include a second marriage with children!
"Hmph." The old man still didn't speak.
"Then I'll leave? I'm pretty busy at work."
He pretended to leave, counting to three, two,
Before he could count to one, the old man began to speak in a sad voice.
"I am such a poor old man, all alone. My only grandson doesn't like me. I have no granddaughter-in-law, no great-grandchildren, and I can't eat. My food doesn't taste good. I can't sleep. What's the point of living? I'd rather die."
Fu Chen rubbed his temples. He knew it! He knew it! The old man must have been upset after attending the full moon banquet for the Meng family's child!
He squatted in front of the old man with his tall body, "Grandpa, I'll go see whoever you want me to see. Don't say those discouraging words."
The old man was injured in the battlefield in his early years and lost one of his lower legs. Now he sits in a wheelchair all day. He doesn't like to stand and talk to grandpa, squatting is just right.
Mr. Fu glared, a little excited.
"What's the point of you going to meet her? Don't you see her often? Huh? If you meet a girl with such a sharp tongue, who would dare to introduce you to someone?
Don’t you see how old you are? You’re a 40-year-old man! And you’re still picky. Do you really think you’re popular?
He really despises this grandson. He can't keep his fiancée, and after breaking off the engagement, he asked to move to another province. Over the years, he threatened to commit suicide many times before he was willing to be transferred back. He also went on many blind dates in the past few months. What can I say?
He is forty years old and has no ability at all. He can't even hold his great-grandson. He is useless!
Fu Chen's mouth twitched: "Grandpa, I'm thirty-four!"
The old man glanced at him sideways: "Is there any difference? Not an old man?"
Fu Chen: ...you are right...
"Have you seen the twins, a boy and a girl, from the Meng family? My dear, I, an old man, have been dreaming about it. When can you let my Fu family hold a wedding banquet and a full moon banquet? I don't ask you to have the ability to give me twins, just one will be enough for me!"
………………
Ye family
"Have you decided? Go back to work?" Old Master Ye and Ye Chaochen were talking after dinner.
"Well, a few years ago, Dad, you demoted me and suspended me from my duties. I took Mingchuan with me to hide from the limelight while looking for evidence to exonerate you. Now that you are old, you should just stay at home and enjoy your retirement.
My country is in a state of disrepair and renewal, and I am still in my prime. I also want to return to my post and strive for something, not just contribution, but to do something practical.
Everyone has the ideal of serving their country. Even though they have been persecuted, the passion of the Ye family has never changed.
The Ye family has been involved in politics for generations, and some people even say that the Ye family are born politicians.
There is nothing wrong with other industries, but compared to other fields, politics is indeed more comfortable and promising for the Ye family.
If it weren't for the sudden misfortune that happened to the old man and him, Ye Mingchuan would probably have taken this path with the full support of his family.
Now that I have joined the army, although I am also trying to settle down and protect my country, I have to start from the beginning and fight for everything in the midst of bullets and shells.
