"You must be my daughter-in-law, Lin Qing! Thank you for the paper."
"You're welcome, Uncle. Are you hot? Would you like me to find some of Nanxun's clothes for you to change into?"
Lin Qing looked at the man in front of her, who was wearing a Zhongshan suit with his collar soaked with sweat, and then thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, no need to be so polite, just call me Dad."
Chen Jianjun took a red envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Lin Qing: "Change of address fee!"
"Okay, then Dad will rest for a bit, I'll go find you some clothes."
Lin Qing generously accepted the red envelope, turned around and winked at Gu Nanxun, then went into the room to find clothes.
Chen Jianjun watched Lin Qing's retreating figure and thought to himself that he had really embarrassed himself today. He had thought that he should dress more formally to see his son, so he wore a Zhongshan suit, thinking that it was fine to dress a little warmly, but he did not expect that his body would be so uncooperative.
"Dad, these are the clothes that Nanxun just bought. He hasn't worn them yet. The bathroom is over there. Dad can take a shower and then change his clothes."
Soon Lin Qing came out of the house and handed Chen Jianjun a white T-shirt and a pair of blue work pants.
"Okay, I'll go change my clothes first."
Chen Jianjun took the clothes from Lin Qing's hand and walked towards the bathroom, thinking to himself as he went, "What a good wife I married! She has such a sweet tongue, and she's so generous and easygoing, not shy at all."
"Fourth Brother, have you had guests at your house?"
"Uncle Chen, what brings you here?"
When Wang Haoran and Chen Qing got up in the morning, they saw a car parked in front of Lin Qing's house and knew that Lin Qing had guests. So they went over, thinking that they could help if needed. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the yard, they saw Chen Bin's father sitting under a tree in the yard.
"Dad, what brings you here? Where's Uncle?"
Upon seeing his father, Chen Bin walked straight to his side and asked.
“Your uncle came wearing a Zhongshan suit, but he was so hot that he went to the bathroom to change.”
"Pfft..."
Upon hearing Uncle Chen's words, Wang Haoran burst out laughing. He hadn't expected his uncle to be so adorable.
"Brother Nanxun, move this table under the tree. We'll eat under the tree in a bit."
Lin Qing pointed to the table in the room and said to Gu Nanxun, "Dad and Second Uncle came so early, they must not have eaten yet."
Ever since Chen Jianjun went to the bathroom to take a shower, Gu Nanxun has been following Lin Qing around like a child, going wherever she goes.
Actually, Gu Nanxun just didn't know how to approach them. He felt awkward sitting there without saying anything, but he didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he decided it was better to follow behind Lin Qing.
Gu Nanxun moved the table that Lin Qing had pointed to outside and placed it under the tree. Upon seeing this, Wang Haoran quickly went inside to fetch a stool.
Lin Qing went to the kitchen, took some more porridge from her spatial storage and mixed it with the porridge Zhao Xi had made. Then she took some steamed buns and stir-fried dishes, along with the food Zhao Xin had prepared, and carried them all to the tree.
"Dad, you're done washing up, come and eat."
Lin Qing had just finished setting out the food when she saw Chen Jianjun come out of the bathroom, so she quickly greeted him. She was getting more and more comfortable calling him "Dad" now.
So everyone ate a breakfast that tasted bland. If it weren't for Wang Haoran and Lin Qing occasionally striking up conversations, the atmosphere would probably have been extremely awkward.
After dinner, Wang Haoran left Lin Qing's house and returned to his and Chen Bin's house, while Chen Bin stayed behind.
Zhao Chen and Zhao Xi also left their home together and headed up the mountain.
It's rare that Lin Qing gave them both a day off today, so they can go up the mountain and have a great time.
"Dad, how is Uncle doing now?"
After everyone left, the group under the tree remained silent for a long while before Chen Bin finally asked the question.
"This story goes back to twenty-five years ago."
"At that time, I destroyed an enemy stronghold, but there was a traitor in the team, and two of my key members escaped."
"Because I have always been in Beijing, the surrounding area is relatively safe, and the enemy has never been able to find an opportunity to retaliate against me."
"So, after going around in circles, in the year you were born, they finally found an opportunity. Taking advantage of my absence from Beijing, they attacked your uncle and lured your mother here."
"I'm sorry to your uncle, and I'm sorry to you too. You two have been dragged down by me."
At this point, Chen Jianjun gave Gu Nanxun a kind look, took a sip of his tea, and continued.
"Your uncle was seriously injured that year and was left with a lifelong disability. They originally planned to kill you, but by some twist of fate, Wang Dahua took you away. So they took advantage of the situation, first bribing the nurse to prevent her from reporting you, and then killing the nurse's whole family."
"They just didn't expect that the nurse would escape because she went to the toilet. When the nurse was running away, she was seen by a neighbor who was returning home late. The neighbor, who was greedy for money, told us about it, and that's how we found the nurse from back then."
"Actually, even if it weren't for Binbin, they would have found a way to lure me here."
"Their original plan was to lure me here and capture me all at once, but some things went wrong. Just when they were about to make their move on you, they didn't expect you to have already joined the army."
"Thus, they missed the best opportunity to strike."
"So we waited until this year before we finally found an opportunity to make our move against you."
"You mean to say that my accident was also orchestrated by them?"
Gu Nanxun had been listening attentively to Chen Jianjun's description. Suddenly, he looked up at Chen Jianjun with a serious expression and asked a question.
"It's not just because they want to bring you back and lure me here. Their organization has been relentlessly persecuting our country's outstanding soldiers for years. They will do everything they can to eliminate any outstanding soldier. Countless outstanding soldiers have been ruined by them over the years. I never expected that they would come out in full force for me this time."
Upon hearing Chen Jianjun's words, Gu Nanxun clenched his fists tightly and forcefully closed his bloodshot eyes.
The tragic state of his teammates flashed through his mind again; out of a team of over two hundred people, only he had survived.
Moreover, he returned with both legs crippled, never expecting that it was all a trap set by the enemy.
Lin Qing reached out and grasped Gu Nanxun's tightly clenched fist, prying open his fingers one by one. Because she gripped it too tightly, Gu Nanxun's palm was cut by his fingernails, and the faint traces of blood stung Lin Qing's eyes.
Lin Qing said nothing, turned around and went back into the house. A moment later, she came out carrying a basin of spiritual spring water and a small medicine box.
