No sooner had Luo Shicheng left with Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu than someone else came looking for Hua Li, but this person surprised Hua Li greatly.
"Director Lin, what's going on...?"
Lin Qingping was filled with regret. She had secretly driven Luo Yan away, and Luo Yan hadn't come to the kindergarten for the past two days. As a result, the director of the municipal bureau came to the kindergarten to present an award to Luo Yan, but she couldn't hand over the person.
If Luo Yan were to receive this award at her kindergarten, her kindergarten would instantly become known as a kindergarten that cultivates heroes and role models—what an honor that would be!
Now, she can only hope to find Luo Yan and try to coax her back to the kindergarten to receive the award again. She just doesn't know if Luo Yan will cooperate. Sigh!
Hua Li didn't think much of it when Lin Qingping said she wanted to find Luo Yan, and blurted out.
"Yanyan went to the military base with her father. Is Director Lin busy?"
Upon hearing this, Song Lang, who had followed Lin Qingping in, waved to Hua Li.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to the army to find Yan Yan. Goodbye."
Hua Li looked up and recognized Song Lang; her heart leaped into her throat.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking for Yan Yan?"
Hua Li was so nervous that she forgot to keep her voice down, and everyone looked over.
Song Lang laughed and said loudly, "Yan Yan has earned two special merits. The director of the Municipal Bureau personally came to award Yan Yan the title of Heroic Model and a bonus of five hundred yuan."
Hua Li had already heard the news from Chen Yuanshan, but hearing it from Song Lang in person still made her extremely happy.
"Captain Song, could you please wait a moment..."
Hua Li came out from behind the counter, went to the candy counter and bought two catties of fruit candy and two catties of milk candy, which she handed to Song Lang.
"Please take this to Luo Shicheng."
Song Lang took the bag and drove to the military base, leaving Lin Qingping behind. Lin Qingping was filled with despair.
Hua Li then bought two more pounds of sugar and gave one to everyone she met, whether they were colleagues or customers in the store.
After eating the sweets, everyone congratulated Hua Li, praising her for having a wonderful daughter, and Hua Li was extremely proud.
This was the first time in Hua Li's life that she had been so flamboyant. She was all smiles all day long, and she was still very happy even after she had used up all the candy tickets she had saved.
...
After completing a mission, they would usually take a break for a while. Luo Shicheng was not supposed to go to the army, but in order to find out about the sudden change of life during his short break, he took the two little ones to the army.
The most secure cell in the military is the solitary confinement cell. Luo Shicheng led Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu into the innermost cell and closed the door.
The solitary confinement cell was pitch black. Even adults would be scared to go in, let alone children. Xiao Xiu gripped Luo Yan's little hand tightly and looked nervously at Luo Shicheng.
Luo Yan knew perfectly well why Luo Shicheng was acting so mysteriously, and without saying a word, she grabbed Luo Shicheng's hand and went into the space.
Luo Shicheng had seen all sorts of things, but he had never experienced anything like entering a completely new space before.
It took Luo Shicheng a long time to come to his senses, and he pointed to the spiritual spring and asked Luo Yan.
"Is this your magic water?"
Luo Yan nodded, and Luo Shicheng's expression suddenly turned serious.
"So Liu Jingqiu's house was indeed robbed?"
The thief was his own daughter.
Faced with the pile of things looted from Liu Jingqiu's house, Luo Yan argued her case forcefully.
"Mommy is crying, Yan Yan is crying."
While Liu Jingqiu was enjoying life with the money Luo Shicheng gave her, she and her mother were struggling on the brink of life and death, enduring every day in tears. How dare you criticize me?
Besides, her parents weren't divorced, and those things were bought with her father's money. As her daughter, she had the right to take back what rightfully belonged to her mother.
Luo Shicheng was too ashamed to talk about Luo Yan, so he shut up.
It would have been better if Liu Jingqiu hadn't been mentioned, because the mere mention of Liu Jingqiu made Luo Yan furious. She walked over and kicked Luo Shicheng hard.
Luo Shicheng felt like his leg was about to be broken by the kick. He groaned and stretched out his other leg.
He was a bastard, and it was right for his daughter to kick him in anger. Luo Shicheng sincerely repented.
Luo Yan rolled her eyes. If she kicked it, her mother would have to take care of it. She wasn't going to do that.
Emerging from the confinement room, Luo Shicheng opened the door and limped, leading the two children out, only to be blocked by Song Lang.
"Battalion Commander Luo, I didn't believe them when they said you were here. You're really here?"
Luo Shicheng, "What is it?"
Song Lang didn't care about Luo Shicheng's sour face; when he picked up Luo Yan, his face was even more sour than Luo Shicheng's.
“Let me tell you, the child is still young. No matter how wrong he is, you can’t put him in solitary confinement. Otherwise, don’t blame me for suing you for abuse.”
"Which eye of yours saw me abusing her?" Luo Shicheng became increasingly annoyed with Song Lang, who was holding his daughter and cuddling her affectionately.
Song Lang, "If you don't abuse children, why bring them to a place like this?"
Luo Shicheng didn't want to waste any more words with Song Lang, so he asked Song Lang instead, "Who let you in?"
Whoever lets this guy in will be punished by running twenty laps of exercise.
Song Lang: "Your Commander Sun personally ordered me to come in."
Luo Shicheng, never mind what I said.
Yang Daocheng, who had come looking for Luo Shicheng, greeted him with a smile and offered his congratulations.
"Old Luo, that's impressive! Your daughter is only three years old and has already been awarded a meritorious service award, becoming a hero and role model in our unit. What are you dawdling for? Hurry up, don't keep Director Yang waiting..."
"Wait a minute..." Luo Shicheng handed Xiaoxiu to Yang Daocheng and turned to run outside.
Luo Shicheng was already physically strong, but he found that since drinking the water given to him by Luo Yan, his physique had improved by more than a little bit, to the point that he could almost leave afterimages.
Luo Shicheng ran all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative, and was only slightly out of breath.
Hua Li was stunned when she saw Luo Shicheng. "Why are you here again?"
"How could you, as her mother, not attend when your daughter receives an award..."
Luo Shicheng said to Xiao Yanru.
"Hey lady, could you watch the counter for my wife for a bit? I'll treat you to meat when I get back."
Xiao Yanru covered her mouth and laughed, "Go quickly, go quickly, don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of your wife's stall."
Before Hua Li could speak, Luo Shicheng picked Hua Li up and ran.
The entire unit assembled, and Director Yang stood on the high platform to present the award to Luo Yan in front of everyone.
Luo Shicheng and Hua Li, as the parents, stood behind Luo Yan with Xiao Xiu, and they also wore big red flowers on their chests.
Luo Yan straightened her chest, and Director Yang personally pinned the medal on her head, handed her the red envelope containing the bonus, put his hands under her armpits, and lifted her high above his head.
The officers and soldiers below the stage applauded in unison, the applause thundering and lasting for a long time.
Luo Shicheng quietly took Hua Li's hand. This was a glorious moment for their family, and he was very happy to have such a precious time with his wife and daughter.
Hua Li shook off Luo Shicheng's hand.
Such a good child suffered so much pain that he shouldn't have had to endure. Hua Li turned her head away, so angry that she burst into tears.
Luo Shicheng knew that his crime was unforgivable, and silently handed Hua Li a handkerchief, filled with unspeakable regret.
After the award ceremony, Luo Shicheng took his wife, daughter, and Xiao Xiu home to get their household registration booklet and went to the bank to open an account for Luo Yan.
Luo Shicheng took out a savings book and deposited the 20,000 yuan plus the 500 yuan bonus into Luo Yan's account.
"Hand the passbook to Luo Yan," Luo Shicheng said.
"Whatever other children have, my Yanyan will have too. Dad promises that I will never let Yanyan suffer again."
After saying that, Luo Shicheng explained to Hua Li.
"This passbook contains money that someone owed me. They paid it back yesterday, which is why I didn't give it to you."
