Cheng Xiaohui quickly grabbed Li Wenbo's arm and said, "Your daughter is calling you, answer her quickly!"
Li Wenbo quickly nodded and said, "Okay! Okay! Your mother and I will go and rest now!"
His face beamed with joy, but his eyes were filled with tears.
My daughter has never called him "Dad" before; this is the first time she's ever called him that!
He couldn't hide his excitement; after so long, his daughter had finally forgiven him...
He always thought that the rest of his life was about atonement, and that his daughter would never forgive him. He just hoped that he could do more for his daughter to make up for his guilt towards her.
I never imagined that the day would come when my daughter would call me "Dad"...
Li Xiyue walked back to her room with her hands behind her back.
Mi Bao said in Li Xiyue's space, "You called him 'Dad'! You forgave him?"
Li Xiyue said, "I guess we've made up... I've seen everything he's done for me over the years."
This time, he stood by me unconditionally. We've reconciled about what happened before.
They had reached a reconciliation, but she still couldn't bring herself to place Li Wenbo in the highest position of her father.
Let's settle this first, and deal with the rest later. Let's see how Li Wenbo behaves next.
Mi Bao said, "Your dad is so emotional! Look, he keeps wiping away tears! Tsk tsk, a grown man crying?"
Its X-ray vision pierced through the wall and it saw Cheng Xiaohui helping Li Wenbo back to their room.
Li Wenbo sat on the bed wiping away tears, his eyes red and swollen.
To be honest, as a guy, I've always felt that guys shouldn't cry. Li Wenbo's behavior is just... so unmanly!
Li Xiyue used her X-ray vision to look at Li Wenbo; this was the first time she had ever looked at Li Wenbo so closely.
This was the first time she noticed how much gray hair Li Wenbo had; more than half of it was gray...
She clearly remembered that when she first came back and saw Li Wenbo outside her house, he didn't have so much gray hair...
She thought that her parents must be getting old after all...
After washing up, she lay down on the bed to sleep. The quilt that her mother had aired out smelled the best.
She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Li Jiuqing dragged her suitcase through the long night.
Although the public security situation was relatively good in this era, sometimes you would run into hooligans...
She encountered two people whistling at her, which startled her so much that she quickly dragged her suitcase and ran forward.
It's impossible to get to the military region now. How long will it take to get there?
She looked at a yellow light in the distance. It was a rectangular lightbox with the word "hotel" painted in red on the outside.
She hurried toward the hotel. Staying at a hotel would be fine; she could rest for the night and take the bus to the military region tomorrow!
She carried her luggage into the hotel.
There was a wooden counter at the front desk of the hotel, and a waiter was sitting behind the counter.
The waiter heard someone come in and looked up impatiently at the person who entered.
She asked, "Which organization are you from? Where's your letter of introduction? Please register here!"
But the next moment, she thought of something and looked Li Jiuqing up and down!
Something seems off. These days, it's mostly men who go on business trips, so why would a woman go on one?
Moreover, even if a woman is on a business trip, she should go directly to the guesthouse of the receiving unit, not to a place like this!
Li Jiuqing pursed her lips slightly and said, "I don't have a letter of introduction..."
The waiter will ask, "Do you have a work ID?"
In this day and age, the only things that can prove one's identity are a letter of introduction, a work permit, a household registration booklet, and a resident's certificate for that city.
In those days, there were no ID cards; only a few major cities issued resident permits to their residents.
Li Jiuqing took out her passport from her backpack and handed it to the waiter, saying, "I don't have any of what you're talking about. I have my passport. I came back from abroad. It's too late today, so I can't go to the military region. I'll go there first thing tomorrow morning!"
She brought up the military region directly. Although she hadn't been back in China for long, she could see everyone's admiration for soldiers. Mentioning the military region gave people a sense of high status!
The waitress looked at the passport; it was the first time she'd ever seen one like it.
However, she heard the words "military region" very clearly. Could it be a government-sponsored student who returned from studying abroad?
She carefully examined Li Jiuqing. This woman's clothes were different from theirs, and she looked like she had returned from studying abroad!
She picked up the register and handed it to Li Jiuqing, asking him to register.
In those days, hotels and guesthouses were divided into men's and women's sections, with men and women staying separately.
She gave Li Jiuqing a plaque for the women's VIP section; in those days, there were no such things as private rooms.
There are several beds in a room, and you are assigned to sleep in the bed in the room you are assigned to.
Li Jiuqing walked into her room and looked at her bed. She almost vomited. How could this compare to the conditions abroad?
She secretly rejoiced that her decision was right!
She had no choice but to sit on the bed and suffer through the night, knowing she had to leave early the next morning.
She kept checking the time on her watch, and when she saw that it was almost time for the first bus to depart, she grabbed her things and rushed to the bus stop to take the bus to the military area.
The bus does not go directly to the military region; it can only go to places near the military region.
God knows how much effort she put in to get to the military region.
She arrived at the military region and met Commander Li.
Chief Li was surprised that Li Jiuqing had returned with his luggage.
Originally, Li Jiuqing said that she would take a vacation for a while before coming back to work.
Li Jiuqing said with a smile, "Chief Li, I think it's better to get back to work as soon as possible and contribute to our motherland!"
I've heard there's fighting on the southern border, and I want to go to the battlefield and earn merit! Could you let me go to the battlefield?
Commander Li said, "You're going to the battlefield voluntarily? But the situation is very dangerous; bullets don't have eyes!"
Li Jiuqing said, "I'm not afraid of danger, I just want to contribute more to my country! Commander Li, could you send me to the battlefield?"
Commander Li said, "You're really patriotic, aren't you? If you want to go to the battlefield, that's fine too. One of our comrades on the battlefield is injured. You can help him if you go!"
Li Jiuqing asked, "A comrade on the battlefield was wounded? Who was it?"
Commander Li said, "He's from our research team, his name is Mu Cangnan!"
Li Jiuqing's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly said, "We met when Mu Cangnan was studying abroad! Then please send me there quickly, I'll go help him!"
Commander Li said, "Alright, then I'll send you to the front lines! But be careful. Stay safe!"
