As soon as He Tingchuan returned to the compound, he heard the women in the family quarters talking about his wife hitting the child, and many of them looked disapproving.
Some people said, "What does a child know? It's one thing to scold them a few times, but how can you hit them!"
"The child's face is so badly slapped, the handprint is so obvious. Aren't they afraid the child will become mentally impaired?"
He Tingchuan: "..."
Thinking of his beaten daughter, He Tingchuan took three steps at a time, and even ran, thinking of going back to coax his daughter and then his wife.
I wonder what bad thing her child did that made her so angry that she hit someone.
He Tingchuan was extremely anxious and ran home quickly.
Seeing this, many people thought something had happened and curiously peeked out: "What happened to Deputy Brigade Commander He's family? They don't look too good."
"Who knows? Let's go listen!"
Many curious people came out to watch the spectacle from downstairs.
Yun Jin was picking vegetables with Sister Gao. Sister Gao gave Yun Jin a bunch of water spinach, and Yun Jin planned to have garlic water spinach for lunch. Xiao Niangao also learned to pick vegetables and did a pretty good job.
Seeing He Tingchuan, covered in sweat and hurrying back with a hint of emotion in his eyes, Yun Jin smiled and said, "Daddy's back, you're a little early today!"
He Tingchuan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the person in a good mood.
Then, looking at his daughter who had her back to him, he called out as if seeking confirmation, "Nian Gao, Daddy's home!"
Little Niangao held a water spinach stem in one hand and a water spinach leaf in the other. Hearing her father's voice, she turned around and saw a smile on her face that was even more beautiful and adorable than the water spinach flower.
Her chubby little face was as white as jade; there wasn't a single slap mark, not even a mosquito bite.
Seeing that Xiao Niangao hadn't been hit, He Tingchuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, strode forward, scooped Xiao Niangao into his arms, and looked at Yun Jin: "I heard you hit the child, but not our daughter!"
The case is solved. No wonder that scoundrel looked at me strangely earlier; he thought I had hit his precious daughter.
Yun Jin glared at him: "Don't worry, your precious daughter is very well-behaved. How could I possibly hit her? I'm not a wicked stepmother!"
He Tingchuan felt guilty: "I just heard from them that you hit the child. I was worried that your hand would hurt. Next time you hit the child, leave it to me. My hands are thick and rough, and I'm not afraid of pain."
Sister-in-law Gao couldn't help but burst out laughing: "You guys chat, I'll go cook the dishes."
She made an excuse to leave, but she never expected that He Tingchuan, who was cold and ruthless and seemed aloof, would actually be so humble and coaxing.
To be honest, that phrase, "I'm afraid your hand will hurt," is something their son, Lao Gao, could learn for a lifetime.
It can't compare.
It's incomparable!
The woman next door is quite shrewd.
Look how she handles those aloof and arrogant men; in front of her, they're like tigers with their teeth pulled, completely harmless.
Yun Jin carried her dishes back, and as she passed by He Tingchuan, she didn't forget to step on his foot.
The person holding the little rice cake pretended to cry out in pain in order to get her attention.
Yun Jin saw through his pretense at a glance and didn't feel sorry for him at all!
She stepped on it herself, so how could she not know how much force she used?
Only Little Rice Cake was naive and was fooled by her father. She nervously cupped his face in her hands and asked with concern, "Daddy, what's wrong? Daddy, are you alright?"
She even asked her mother for help: "Mom, come quick, Dad looks like he's injured!"
Yun Jin pretended not to hear.
The man, feeling neglected by his wife, found solace in his beloved daughter. Feeling guilty and embarrassed, he said, "Daddy's okay, Nian Gao, don't be afraid, Daddy's fine!"
"Dad!" Little Rice Cake was relieved.
He Tingchuan's heart was melting.
Yun Jin ignored the touching scene between the father and daughter.
He Tingchuan followed closely behind, apologizing softly, "Wife, don't be angry. It's my fault for misunderstanding you. It's all those women's fault for misleading me, saying that you slapped the child's face until it was swollen."
"Hmph, I didn't hit your daughter, why are you so worried?" Yun Jin pushed away the person who was sticking to her. He wasn't this shameless before. She didn't know where he learned it. Now he was so shameless that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I know, my wife would never have the heart to hit our little rice cake!"
Little Rice Cake nodded: "I won't beat rice cakes, I'm the best behaved!"
He Tingchuan was completely charmed by his daughter and gave her a kiss: "Yes, our little darling is the best!"
The little rice cake nodded proudly.
He Tingchuan continued, "Nian Gao, quickly try to appease your mother and tell her not to be angry with Dad. Dad really knows he was wrong!"
"Mom, don't be angry, Dad knows he was wrong!" Little Rice Cake pleaded.
If Yun Jin continued to be angry, she would be being unreasonable. She snorted and told He Tingchuan to cook, before forgiving him.
He Tingchuan immediately used all his culinary skills to stir-fry some water spinach with garlic and make a steamed egg. The family of four had a simple lunch.
The leftover steamed egg was all eaten by Doubao.
The little dumpling, having eaten and drunk its fill, stayed by its little owner's side, following him everywhere.
He Tingchuan only learned about Yun Jin's assault from her.
After hearing this, He Tingchuan's face darkened: "One slap is too lenient. If I were here, I would have kicked you twice. You're so young and you can't even tell right from wrong. You actually treat me like an enemy."
"It was their mother who did something that harmed the national interest, and she still has the nerve to blame you. If you don't teach her a good lesson, she might go astray in the future. Her values are warped and that's no good." If it weren't for Yun Jin saying that their family had already left by train...
He Tingchuan would chase after them and kick them a couple of times, to show them what was right and what was wrong.
If you do something wrong, you must pay the price and accept the punishment.
Anyway, from then on, the women in the compound became more wary.
Of course, I also envy Yun Jin.
He Tingchuan and Yun Jin both deserve credit for this incident.
They were praised in the newspaper and became the most conscious military dependents in the entire military.
They are also the most progressive military dependents.
Yun Jin was still in the cafeteria when, under everyone's gaze, she received praise from the leader and was awarded a small red flower that represented her honor.
Yun Jin stood on the stage and gave her acceptance speech: "...As a military family member, the men are sweating profusely on the training field, and I, as a military family member, cannot hold them back."
"While taking care of your family, you should also have a positive and patriotic heart, not become a burden to men, nor hold them back, but progress together with men, serve the country, and become a role model for children and others."
"Women can hold up half the sky, and military dependents can also be half the sky for men!" Yun Jin said passionately.
The leaders took the lead in applauding.
The audience erupted in applause.
Little Niangao, held in He Tingchuan's arms, clapped her little hands until they were red, excitedly shouting, "Mommy, that's Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy..."
Looking at Yun Jin shining on the stage, He Tingchuan's deep eyes were bright and dazzling. His heart was filled with excitement and passion. The indescribable sense of pride made He Tingchuan almost unable to suppress his inner joy.
My wife is so beautiful!
