"Have you made up your mind?"
Cao Yongzhan stared at Zhang Shuguang's expression.
Deep down, he didn't want Zhang Shuguang to put himself in danger, but he couldn't stop Zhang Shuguang from fulfilling his filial piety.
What’s more, what Zhang Shuguang said made a lot of sense, and Cao Yongzhan and Zheng Zheng had no reason to dissuade him.
"You're worried about your father, so I won't stop you. After you go to Ailao Mountain, don't act impulsively. You're not alone anymore, so think more about Yushan."
The smile on Zheng Zheng's face was extremely forced.
As a professional soldier, he has carried out the most dangerous missions and has never been afraid.
But this time it concerns his beloved daughter's future happiness. If possible, he really doesn't want Zhang Shuguang to participate in the operation in Ailao Mountain.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zheng. I'm absolutely confident. I can't guarantee how much success this exploration will yield, but I can guarantee my own safety."
The system mall is Zhang Shuguang’s biggest reliance.
Zhang Shuguang couldn't guarantee that he would be able to get out of Ailao Mountain quickly after entering it, but with the system mall, he could guarantee that he would survive in Ailao Mountain.
No life will be lost due to hunger or hypothermia.
"Okay, as long as you're sure."
Zheng Zheng didn't know where Zhang Shuguang's confidence came from, but now he had no choice but to trust him.
Since Zhang Shuguang had made the decision and was sure he would return safely, Cao Yongzhan stopped worrying about it and planned to take his family home.
Cao Jingjing and the fat boy don’t want to go back. They have to catch the train back tomorrow morning. They don’t know when they will come back next time. They want to play with their friends as much as possible.
"Dad, let's go to Captain Zhang's house and sit for a while."
Cao Guangming and his wife have no plans to go home either.
"The Xiangnan family has been busy all day, let them have a good rest."
Cao Yongzhan frowned.
My son and daughter-in-law are in their thirties, but they still love to play like children.
"Grandpa Cao, I went to the county town yesterday and brought some clothes for my uncle and aunt, but I didn't have time to give them this morning."
Zhang Shuguang knew what Cao Guangming was thinking. If Grandma Zhao hadn't stopped him, he would have been unable to wait in the morning.
"What kind of clothes can't be bought here in Quancheng? It's not appropriate to wear ethnic costumes in Quancheng."
Cao Yongzhan could not understand his son's thoughts at all.
If his base is in Beijing or Shanghai, it is understandable that his son and daughter-in-law come over and buy some new things that are not available in Quancheng.
But his base is in southern Xinjiang, which is not as developed as other cities.
In addition to seasonal fruits and wild game from the mountains, what else can't be bought in Quancheng?
“Dad, I used to think so too, so every time I came here, I never went to the county town.
I think the county town here may not be as developed as a township under the jurisdiction of Quancheng. Whatever is available here, Quancheng will definitely have as well.
Buying things here is completely putting the cart before the horse."
…
"So? It's really hard to listen to you."
Cao Yongzhan glanced at his watch and felt a little regretful about letting his son go to school.
If he had followed me into the army, how could he be so fussy and talk for a long time without getting to the point?
"Dad, didn't you see what Captain Zhang's family and Captain Zheng's family were wearing today?"
Cao Guangming did not answer but asked instead, hoping that his father could discover the difference himself.
"They're having a wedding, so they definitely have to wear new clothes. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Cao Yongzhan was confused by the question.
As a division commander who has worn military uniforms for half his life, Cao's sensitivity to fashion is close to zero.
"Dad, new clothes are different from new clothes. Look at Xiaoguang's clothes. Isn't it very slim-fitting? Isn't it very stylish?"
Cao Guangming reminded him again, trying to awaken his old father's aesthetic taste.
"Really? It does seem a little different."
In the 1960s and 1970s, there were not many styles of clothes in Longguo, and most of them were loose and did not show the figure.
"You can't wear it either? The buttons will easily break. You'd better not ruin the clothes."
Cao Yongzhan glanced at his son's figure with disdain. He was so young, but he was not as strong and stylish as an old man like him. It was obvious that he lacked exercise.
"Dad, this is because I work too hard. Think about it the other way around. If I want to look good in this dress, shouldn't I exercise and maintain a good figure?"
Cao Guangming took a deep breath and tried his best to tighten his belly.
Cao Guangming is not making excuses for his middle-aged weight gain. His out-of-shape body is indeed an occupational disease.
Until the 1990s, paper media was the most important means of news dissemination in Longguo.
As a pen for Quancheng Daily, Cao Guangming has always been busy.
After eating, you lean over your desk, either working on a manuscript or reviewing it, which can easily lead to fat accumulation.
"That's a good idea, Xiaoguang, have you already bought the clothes? Can you still change them?
If possible, I will change your Uncle Cao to a smaller size so that he can exercise properly."
Cao Yongzhan instantly became interested and turned his gaze to Zhang Shuguang.
"You really are my father."
Cao Guangming wished he could sew his mouth shut. Isn't this just looking for trouble?
"Don't be ungrateful. Do I dislike your fatness? I'm worried about your health.
I can’t carry anything on my shoulders or lift anything with my hands, and I’m out of breath after walking a few steps.
He was ambitious to go hunting and even made a bet with other kids, but he didn't catch any rabbits and was helped out by Wei Hu.
If we don't exercise quickly and improve our physical fitness, who knows who will come out on top between us."
