"You’ve thought everything through thoroughly, but when it cos to yourself, why not think it through?" Zhao Yulan pointed at her daughter’s belly, "You’ve got two in there."
"Mom, the situation is different, isn’t it? If he were just a platoon leader or a company leader, he would definitely stay here with . It’s about priorities... " Chuxia smiled pleadingly, "You’re the most understanding one, please don’t make it difficult for ."
"Who’s making it difficult for you?" Zhao Yulan shot her a look, "Forget it, you’ve both decided, whatever I say is useless. When your grandfather speculated yesterday, I said it was impossible, sigh!"
Before Zhou Mikang returned to City A, Li Aiyuan received a call from Zhao Yulan, and upon hearing her son was going on a mission, Li Aiyuan sat down on the floor while preparing soup for her daughter-in-law.
Luckily, Luo Xiaoqiong was resting at ho and quickly went over to assist her: "Mom, what’s wrong with you? If you’re tired, just take a break. I’m not hungry. You keep making drink all these nutritious things, I’m going to look like a pig when I give birth."
Li Aiyuan slowly turned her head to look at her daughter-in-law: "Xiaoqiong, what if Qiliang goes on a mission, what then?"
"Ah?" Luo Xiaoqiong was slightly taken aback, then understood, her face changing instantly. She certainly understood what going on a mission ant; at this ti, who in the country doesn’t know about the border situation, let alone her?
Her hand unconsciously touched her abdon, her lips moved twice, but not a word ca out. She found she didn’t know what to say. Saying he shouldn’t go felt sohow wrong, saying he should go, her heart resisted...
Seeing her daughter-in-law’s expression, Li Aiyuan understood what she was thinking, and stood up, dusting off her backside and earnestly looking at her daughter-in-law: "Xiaoqiong, I know we can’t stop Qiliang from advancing, but as it stands, he can’t go. Stay at ho, I’ll go to the base to find him."
"Mom..." Luo Xiaoqiong quickly grabbed her, "You should talk to Dad first, if he agrees, then you go. If Dad doesn’t agree..." she bit her lip, "Then let Qiliang make his own choice, don’t force him."
"I know your dad’s temper too well, ask him and he’s sure to agree for Qiliang to go on the mission..." After a pause, Li Aiyuan made up her mind, "Xiaoqiong, we won’t ask your dad, don’t worry about it, I’ll handle it. Stay at ho and be good, I’ll co back and make dinner for you."
"Alright." Luo Xiaoqiong’s heart was already in turmoil; after responding, she sat there dazedly. Seeing her daughter-in-law’s state, Li Aiyuan sighed, stepped outside the door.
At this mont, Zhou Hanliang also needed to make a decision.
This ti, Zhou Mikang also suggested he stay. Leaving just after newlyweds, especially when relations with the Yun Family have just smoothed over, seems a bit inappropriate.
For years, Zhou Hanliang had been working alongside Zhou Mikang, how could he choose to stay?
However, the Division Commander’s orders were strict; if Yun Doudou’s family didn’t agree, he wouldn’t take him. Helplessly, he had to go to the Yun Family to consult.
Mr. Jun had no issue, as soon as the son-in-law brought it up, he agreed imdiately. In his position, whether he was willing or not, he had to agree.
Lan Ailian showed a face of difficulty, originally dissatisfied with this son-in-law, particularly with the early marriage with her daughter, which she found highly unacceptable. But her daughter was determined, and she ca to terms with it, believing that if her daughter was happy, it was all good.
But when it ca ti to face it, she found the decision overwhelmingly difficult!
Yun Doudou had already anticipated it soday, but her mindset was similar to Lan Ailian’s.
Guoguo didn’t understand the matter well. Seeing her mother and sister silent, she also stayed silent.
The room instantly fell into an eerie silence.
Reason didn’t need much speaking; everyone knew the source of their struggle, so Zhou Hanliang could only sit there silently as well, unsure what to feel.
On one side was his long-ti battle buddy, on the other his newly wedded wife, weighing them, he couldn’t tell. But internally, he kept telling himself he couldn’t desert, no matter how tough the situation was, face it he must.
Mr. Jun sighed, looking at his daughters, "Don’t make it hard for Hanliang, as a soldier, at tis like these if he chooses to quit, he might regret it for life. If I were needed to go up, I’d do so without hesitation."
For his father-in-law’s clear support, Zhou Hanliang was deeply grateful, but dared not show it, lest his mother-in-law and young wife feel even worse...
...
"How’d it go? Did they agree or not?" Zhou Mikang had just returned to the office when Zhou Hanliang walked in, he looked him over and asked.
"They agreed." Zhou Hanliang sighed, sitting across from the Division Commander, "Commander, what was your wife’s mood when you discussed with her?"
"Do you think she was happy?" Zhou Mikang eyed him, "You dare ask such a foolish question?"
"Ugh..." Zhou Hanliang sighed heavily again, "My mother-in-law didn’t say a word initially, later, Doudou first expressed support for then persuaded my mother-in-law to support too.
To be honest, it felt like a knife in my heart seeing her words were against her will, but I really cannot let myself be a coward.
So Commander, no matter what this ti, I must go with you, let’s use our strength against those damned bastards!" (To be continued.
