"So what my second aunt is saying is, compared to my brother, do I still have a chance?"
Tang Sumei waved her hand.
"I'm not trying to persuade you, I just want to say that once these people join the army, they often have no choice in the matter. To put it bluntly, even if they know that leaving might let their families down, they might hesitate or waver, but in the end, they all make the same choice."
Or perhaps, having chosen that path, he had already mentally prepared himself for everything; he couldn't let his country down, and therefore, he could only feel indebted to his wife and children.
Simple pouting,
"If that's what you're saying, then he's not wrong. If I don't acknowledge him, then I'm being unreasonable."
"Nonsense, he feels guilty right now, he definitely won't have any objections to anything you say."
This child had clearly already given in, but was still stubbornly insisting on saying it. Tang Sumei patted him and simply turned to look at the child.
Has your child been fussy these past few days?
The topic naturally shifted to the children.
"It's alright. We've figured out a routine now. We clean her up as soon as she wakes up. If we poke her around, she sometimes just treats it as playing with us and is quite happy. By the time she realizes what's happening, we've already cleaned her up, and we just feed her. She doesn't have a chance to cry then."
"You little girl, you're really good at this. It's only been a little over half a month, and you've already summarized your experience."
"Haha, you're praising me wrong. I'm someone who only thinks about the present and not the future. That's what my husband concluded, and he's the one who does it all. Auntie, look at my hands. Let me tell you, I've never washed a single diaper."
"You, you,"
Tang Sumei pointed at her, then turned to look at the people who had already started cleaning up the diapers and the scene.
"You, Qinghuai knows how to care for people, care for you, and spoil the children. You are so lucky."
It turns out there's another child in this pampered family.
A few days later, Jian Dan took her child to see Jian Liye. The scene was absolutely incredible; it made Jian Dan's forehead practically burst into song.
No one expected that Jian Liye, a man in his forties, would hug her and burst into tears the moment they met.
It's worth noting that the scene wasn't just the father and son who were the main characters; there was also Qin Qinghuai, who came along with the child, Commander Lin, who was watching the spectacle, Cheng Zhuo, who had come after hearing the news, and several guards. If the child hadn't suddenly started crying, interrupting Jian Liye's outburst of paternal love, the scene could have easily been transformed into a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment.
Damn, this is so embarrassing and shameful.
Is this my granddaughter?
After tidying up the child, the atmosphere eased somewhat, but Jian Liye's eyes were still red, and his gaze towards Jian Dan was full of heartache. He turned to Qin Qinghuai, finding fault with everything about him, leaving Qin Qinghuai speechless.
"You should check your wounds first. If they really reopen, you'll see how angry my wife gets."
"you!"
However, Jian Liye immediately looked at Jian Dan, met her disapproving gaze, and awkwardly called the doctor to treat her.
In the past few days, through Commander Lin, he has contacted the people in Beijing, and the good news is that his identity has been verified.
The bad news is that the person who promised him a promotion if he returned safely is no longer around.
Fortunately, knowing that his daughter was here, Jian Liye was no longer bothered by the promotion. Originally, he wanted a promotion to better protect his family. Now that his daughter was the only family member left, he simply applied for a transfer here.
This is a remote area. It's quite convenient to switch from a position in Beijing to a position in a remote military region. He was confident in his ability to do so.
It can be said that now, apart from waiting to recover from his injury and return to Beijing to report on his work, he can legitimately stay here and stay by his daughter's side.
“Perfect timing. I’ll bring all the things I left over there with me. I have no use for them, so I’ll give them all to you.”
A simple twitch at the corner of the mouth,
"Your secret stash of money?"
"No, that's not true. Your grandfather gave it to me privately. I was afraid that if it ended up in your mother's hands, someone would trick it away."
Jian Liye cherishes his wife, but he is also clear about her personality. To put it nicely, she is simple-minded; to put it bluntly, she is foolish.
The arranged marriage that my daughter was set up with wasn't actually the two old men's original idea. They didn't really like the Lin family's boy. She was partly instigating it. She and Lin Jianshe's mother—humph, she thought they were good friends, but she was completely fooled. She got all the good stuff taken from them and still praised them.
But since his wife is gone, there's no need to say such things to the children. If he has the chance to see that family again, he can vent his anger there.
“This is all the savings your maternal grandfather accumulated for you in advance. I also have a lot of things left by your paternal grandfather and maternal grandfather. I’ll take them out and give them to you when I have the chance.”
In my opinion, it's best to communicate some things beforehand, since both companies have a lot of good products.
"Well, we've returned the house to the factory, and the two small courtyards in the east area have also been rented out."
Jian Liye showed no unusual reaction whatsoever.
"You can decide for yourself. That was originally meant for you, but did someone force you to do it? Just you wait. Anyone who dares to bully you, you'll see Dad gets his revenge."
She rambled on and on without any clear direction, talking about whatever came to mind, scribbling here and there. By the time Jian Dan, satisfied, picked up her child and got up, it was already quite a while before it was Cheng Zhuo's turn.
"Oh, by the way, I've also introduced you to a relative. This is my second uncle, your cousin. You two should get to know each other well."
As for the child, he was still watching over him, but Jian Dan had already forgotten about the child.
Once outside, judging from her expression, Qin Qinghuai knew that Jian Liye had passed the test.
"Judging from your mood, you have no resentment towards him anymore?"
"Well, it's not really that important. But when he held me and cried like that, I felt like nothing else mattered. He's back, which is a good thing. I can enjoy my father's love for a few more years. Like you all say, having another person to protect me is a gift from God, isn't it? If he really hadn't come back, I wouldn't even have had the chance to see him one last time."
He's genuinely good to me, why am I still worrying so much?
Even Jian Dan himself might not realize it, but some of his words have truly come true.
However, at this moment, she was still in the joy of being reunited with her father.
"With his injury, he'll have to wait until he recovers before he can return to the capital, right?"
Qin Qinghuai had seen this kind of situation many times before.
"It looks serious, but the conditions here are much better than in other places now. He'll be able to move around freely in about half a month. It's not good to keep dragging it out."
Moreover, it seems to me that Dad is even more anxious than we are.
Qin Qinghuai's thoughts were rather complicated. Not only had a father-in-law suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but this father-in-law seemed to find fault with him in every way. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
"Honey, is Dad not satisfied with me as his son-in-law?"
