Hua Baoguo carefully observed his father's expression. "Dad, things aren't as serious as you think."
After the last incident, both countries took it very seriously, and now not only our crew members, but also additional staff have been added to the train.
Besides, every family has its own difficulties. It's just Liangfen and me who can really let go..."
Tian Guihua slammed her hand on the kang table. "So your father and I helped you, but we made a mistake. Just because your father and I indulged you without limit, you can act so recklessly."
Even if you don't care about us two old folks, you should at least think about the kids in the family. Your second son and your little darling aren't married yet. How dare you say you can just let go of them?
Tian Guihua became more and more resentful as she spoke. She only had one son, how could he be so clueless? Was it because she was too capable?
Hua Baoguo was so scolded that his head almost touched his chest, and Xun Liangfen also looked guilty. Since she married into the Hua family, she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a daughter-in-law.
Not to mention taking care of the family, even the children she gave birth to were raised by her mother-in-law.
For so many years, I've focused wholeheartedly on my work, and it's gradually become a habit.
Looking back, I really feel guilty towards my family.
"..." She opened her mouth, but was too ashamed to speak, so she could only push Hua Baoguo, who was blocking her way.
Hua Baoguo, "..."
"Do you think that if the father is kind and the son is filial, the family will function on its own?" If Tian Guihua hadn't known the couple's character all these years, she would have quit long ago.
"Mother, I was wrong." Hua Baoguo felt that as long as he admitted his mistake, that was the right thing to do. That's how he had done it all these years.
"Can he be transferred back?" Tian Guihua asked through gritted teeth. She didn't ask her child to be successful; she just wanted him to be safe and sound, and for the family to stay together.
"Alright, it's all settled now, how can we change it so easily?" Hua Guangzong finally spoke up. "Since you've been transferred there, just do your job well and don't bring shame to the family. As long as your mother and I are still here, you can enjoy yourselves for a few more years."
Hua Guangzong had served in the military and had this awareness: even if the work was dangerous, he would still complete it conscientiously when assigned to him.
“Think things through before you do anything in the future. There are elderly people and children at home,” Hua Guangzong stood up. “It’s getting late, you should all go back to your rooms and rest!”
Hua Baoguo then left with Xun Liangfen, who looked guilty.
"Look at these two kids, how could they keep such a big thing from us?" Tian Guihua walked over and closed the door tightly to keep out the cold wind, muttering to herself.
“They’re about to be grandparents themselves, and you still call them kids. You’ve spoiled them with this attitude.” Hua Guangzong started making the bed and retorted when he heard Tian Guihua still nagging.
This really hit Tian Guihua where it hurts. "I spoiled him, but do I have the energy to spoil him?"
When we were assigned here, we had to do everything ourselves, leaving early and returning late. I did just as much as you, so how could you manage it? Did you manage it at all?
Hua Guangzong quickly admitted his mistake, "Wife, I was wrong. This is not your fault. It's just that boy's fault for not growing up properly. I don't know why he's missing a screw in his head. I've been trying to teach him for so many years and he still can't learn."
"If he doesn't grow up well, whose fault is it? Back then, I was heavily pregnant and running around with you all. It was already a great blessing that I was able to give birth to him..."
So many women and wives have lost their babies in the womb; she was incredibly lucky.
When the past was brought up, the two fell silent. So many people were left behind in that era of war and chaos. They were already incredibly fortunate to have a complete family.
Instantly, both of them felt that the previous argument was somewhat pointless. They sighed, turned off the lights, and rested back to back.

Hua Xiangyun put today's harvest into the kang cabinet. After this short period of contact, she had already sensed that something was wrong.
The harmonious family I remember wasn't as perfect as it seemed on the surface.
To be honest, these parents were somewhat irresponsible. They were focused on working outside, but neglected their family.
The three siblings grew up with Tian Guihua from childhood, and their parents had very little say in their lives.
Although he wasn't the kind of person who sponged off his parents as some people say online, he certainly lacked a sense of responsibility in his dealings with others.
Sigh, every family has its own troubles; we can only take it one step at a time.
Once she was on her own territory, Hua Xiangyun dared to summon the Nine Lotus Cauldron.
“That’s enough. You’ve taken away most of the spiritual energy I cultivate every day,” Hua Xiangyun felt she should have a proper talk with the Nine Lotus Cauldron.
The Nine Lotus Cauldron swayed in mid-air before her eyes, then tilted over several times.
Hua Xiangyun, “…” They’re playing guessing games again. What’s with that sideways posture?
Seeing that she didn't understand what he meant, the Nine Lotus Cauldron seemed a little anxious and kept circling around her.
Unable to bear the commotion any longer, Hua Xiangyun closed her eyes and said, "If you keep going on like this, I'm going to get dizzy."
"We can't just keep guessing like this if something happens in the future, can we?"
Performing a pantomime requires the coordination of the entire body. If you're just a small cauldron swaying around, how skilled would I be to understand it?
Suddenly, the Nine Lotus Cauldron glowed, and as the light condensed, a teardrop-shaped object enveloped it.
Hua Xiangyun sighed, "So you just wanted to pour water? You're making such a big fuss over a single drop of water."
The Nine Lotus Cauldron shook violently again. "..." This owner is a bit stupid. It's so obvious, yet he still can't understand?
Seeing that she remained motionless for a long time, the Nine Lotus Cauldron had no choice but to act on its own.
The water droplet, enveloped in light, rushed into her mouth as she spoke, disappearing right at the entrance.
"They just put this thing in my mouth!" Hua Xiangyun realized what was happening, but it was too late; the drop of water had already gone down her throat.
The Nine Lotus Cauldron seemed to have completed a major mission, and then disappeared before her eyes.
“They always play dumb with me,” Hua Xiangyun thought of the previous spiritual mist and had some guesses in her mind. She immediately sat cross-legged and began to practice her cultivation technique.
One moment it's mist, the next it's water droplets; I have no idea what the Nine Lotus Cauldron is up to.
After circulating the technique for one cycle, Hua Xiangyun instantly felt her entire body filled with spiritual energy. The barrier that had blocked her at the second stage shattered instantly, and she surged straight up to the third stage, eventually getting stuck at the third stage barrier.
As soon as she withdrew her cultivation technique, Hua Xiangyun felt a sharp pain all over her body, as if thousands of knives were cutting into her flesh.
Hua Xiangyun curled up into a ball, clenching her teeth, trying her best not to cry out in pain.
"Nine Lotus Cauldron, come out here! What did you just feed me? You almost killed me, and you think you can get away with it?" Hua Xiangyun regretted it now. No matter how magical the Nine Lotus Cauldron was, she shouldn't have let her guard down.
The agonizing pain made Hua Xiangyun forget about why the Nine Lotus Cauldron hadn't appeared; she just wanted to get through it as quickly as possible.
She didn't know how long she held on, only that every minute and every second felt incredibly difficult. Her mind slowly went blank, and she fainted.
