Veterans who defended their country had their allowances embezzled and their properties seized. This matter must not be tolerated. Song Lang filed a case, while Sun Bailing decided to take Xu Tianzhong back to the village to resolve the issue publicly.
"Commander, I'll go with you."
Luo Shicheng volunteered for the mission.
A person who can seize his own brother's property allowance and even get a mental illness certificate from the village is definitely not a kind person. With only Chen Yuanshan accompanying him, he would be completely unable to cope with any emergencies.
Sun Bailing nodded.
Their trip was not only to seek justice for Xu Tianzhong, but also to set an example for countless veterans, letting them know that the country would be their strongest support, just as they had sacrificed their lives for the country.
Fatty and Erzhu wanted to follow Xu Tianzhong, but were detained on the spot by the police.
After the group got into the car, Sun Bailing asked Chen Yuanshan to drive Luo Yan home first.
Luo Yan also wanted to go, she muttered to herself.
"Brother, brother..."
What if we run into Xiaoxiu on the way? With her there, Xiaoxiu definitely won't run away again.
Upon hearing Luo Yan mention a short break, Sun Bailing agreed without Luo Shicheng even needing to speak.
"If Yan Yan wants to go, then go..."
"We absolutely have to go," Luo Yan said, straightening her small body to look at Luo Shicheng.
If you dare disagree with me going, I will never talk to you again.
Luo Shicheng was well aware of his own limitations. He had no status at home now, and Hua Li only allowed him to enter the house because his daughter still accepted him.
He was doomed if he offended his daughter, so Luo Yan's threat was very effective.
Chen Yuanshan opposed the movement fearlessly and without fear of death.
“Yanyan is too young, and the journey is too far. We don’t know the situation there, and it’s too unsafe to take the child with us.”
Luo Yan pouted, but Chen Yuanshan was right; Luo Shicheng did not object.
Sun Bailing declared, "What kind of soldiers are we if four grown men can't protect a little girl?"
Grandpa is still the best. Luo Yan doesn't like her dad anymore and reaches out to Sun Bailing.
Sun Bailing quickly took Luo Yan away, leaving Luo Shicheng to brood alone.
It was getting late, so Sun Bailing told Xu Tianzhong and Chen Yuanshan to stay at his house, while Luo Shicheng took Luo Yan home first, and they would meet at the East Courtyard the next morning.
Upon arriving at their doorstep, Luo Shicheng carried Luo Yan out of the car, while Chen Yuanshan turned the car around and drove back to the East Courtyard.
The lights were on inside, and Hua Li came out when she heard the knocking.
Luo Shicheng carried Luo Yan into the house, and as soon as they entered, they saw a pile of old clothes on the sofa.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't mention divorce again?" Luo Shicheng blurted out.
Hua Li, who followed in after the door bolt was lowered, was both annoyed and amused.
"Who said I wanted a divorce?"
No, Luo Shicheng silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Hua Li said, knowing that it was a misunderstanding caused by sorting through old clothes.
"Commander Mo has brought his two children back from the countryside. I just heard Commander Mo and Sister-in-law Wu arguing, saying that the children's clothes were torn."
I was thinking that buying clothes requires cloth coupons, and Battalion Commander Mo might not be able to buy that many at once. Perhaps we could find some old clothes that we don't wear anymore and let them make do for now.
Hua Li didn't have many old clothes, but Luo Shicheng had a lot.
Xia Suya and Luo Zhaoxing felt sorry for Luo Shicheng and never skimped on him materially, always buying piles of clothes and having them delivered to him.
Before Hua Li arrived, Luo Shicheng refused to accept any gifts. After Hua Li moved in, because he was unaware of the situation, he accepted the gifts and placed them in Luo Shicheng's room each time.
With so many clothes she had never worn, Hua Li picked out some that weren't made of very expensive fabrics and put them aside.
Luo Shicheng noticed that Hua Li's clothes were less than a third the size of his own, and he felt quite uncomfortable about it.
"Wait for me to come back and we'll go to the department store to buy you some more clothes..."
Hua Li interrupted Luo Shicheng, pointing to the two large travel bags in the corner.
"My mom had someone deliver these clothes to me, but I haven't had a chance to look at them yet."
Luo Shicheng knew his mother's taste, so he immediately shut up.
The husband is not as caring as the mother-in-law. It's true, Luo Yan shook her head helplessly.
After Hua Li picked out the clothes, she folded the remaining clothes and put them back in the wardrobe. Luo Shicheng then put the clothes he had picked out into the washbasin, washed them all, and hung them up to dry.
Luo Shicheng's diligence surprised Hua Li. While Luo Shicheng was washing clothes, Hua Li boiled water for Luo Yan to take a bath, and then washed herself as well. After washing, she went back to her room to sleep.
Luo Shicheng huffed and puffed as he finished washing the clothes. When he looked up, he was all alone. Dejected, he washed up again and went to sleep.
In the morning, Luo Shicheng went out to practice exercises, and Luo Yan followed him out, full of energy.
Children are all sleepy, and Luo Shicheng didn't intend to bring Luo Yan along, but to his surprise, Luo Yan woke up on her own without being called.
Luo Shicheng took the little boy to the army base, and they became the center of attention wherever they went.
Mo Xian followed behind, his eyes gleaming with envy, but the thought of his two little bean sprouts suffering so much in the countryside made his heart ache.
With Luo Yan accompanying them during morning exercises, the first battalion was in high spirits, shouting slogans so loudly that the other battalion commanders were so angry they almost had crooked noses.
In history, which battalion commander has ever been pressured by his soldiers to have a baby girl who doesn't get tired from running drills and can do boxing?
Luo Shicheng made countless enemies by the end of the morning, but unfortunately, the father and daughter were completely unaware of this, and they still ran away when they finished their exercises.
Luo Yan's short legs moved like wheels of fire, drawing applause wherever she went.
Luo Shicheng felt several gazes behind him that seemed to pierce right through him. He curled his lips in disdain and quickened his pace, leading Luo Yan to the cafeteria.
Luo Shicheng would buy whatever Luo Yan pointed to. Luo Yan liked sesame balls, and her mother loved rice cakes. As for what her father liked to eat, he could choose for himself.
After buying breakfast and returning home, Hua Li got up and started cooking porridge.
Seeing that the father and daughter had bought so much breakfast that they couldn't finish it, Hua Li only kept enough for the three of them for one meal, and asked Luo Shicheng to take Luo Yan to deliver the rest to the neighbors.
Wu Cuihua has moved out, and the task of cooking at home has fallen on Mo Shuanghua's shoulders.
In the countryside, Mo Shuanghua was responsible for cooking three meals a day for more than ten people in her maternal grandmother's family. Now, cooking for only four people is no problem at all.
When Mo Xian returned home, the food was already on the table. Suddenly, he heard Luo Yan sweetly call him "Uncle." Turning around, he saw Luo Shicheng bringing Luo Yan in, with Luo Shicheng carrying a lot of food in his hands.
Luo Shicheng was not good at socializing. He put the things on the dining table and left, leaving Luo Yan speechless.
You brought them food, not them begging for your money. What are you trying to do by leaving with such a cold face? Luo Yan is almost driven crazy by Luo Shicheng's lack of emotional intelligence.
Luo Yan took Mo Shuanghua's calloused and scarred hand and pointed to the fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and steamer rack that Luo Shicheng had put down on the table.
"Mommy gives it to you, sister and brother, it tastes delicious."
This must have been incredibly difficult for her, a little baby with unclear speech.
After hearing what Luo Yan said, Luo Shicheng turned around and said.
"I bought too much and can't eat it all. Since there are many of you, there won't be any left over..."
Luo Yan walked to Luo Shicheng's side, reached her little hand behind Luo Shicheng's leg, pinched the flesh through the fabric and twisted it once.
What do you mean by "there won't be any left"? If you can't speak properly, then shut up.
To be honest, those little hands pinching people can hurt quite a bit; Luo Shicheng endured it until his brows furrowed.
Mo Xian didn't mind. After thanking them, he let the three children eat first and then saw Luo Shicheng and Luo Yan out.
