Chapter 179 You're not wronged now, are you?
In March, a slight chill still lingered in the breeze.
Early in the morning, Li Wanqing dressed Nuonuo in a bright red coat and pinned a pair of pink butterfly hair clips to her head.
Cheng Baichuan originally had a three-day holiday, but because the Rainforest Combat Team added a training mission at the last minute, his holiday was reduced to only one day.
"I've been so busy today, I don't even know if I'll be able to go to the leader's house," Li Wanqing said as she packed.
Cheng Baichuan said nonchalantly, "If we can't go, we'll do it next time. The old man will understand anyway."
Li Wanqing opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Sometimes, even if you understand, you're still sad.
She knew that Cheng Baichuan was just running away again, but some things couldn't be solved by running away.
After the family of three left the house, Li Wanqing realized something was wrong as they walked further.
"Weren't we supposed to go to Commander Yu's house?" Li Wanqing asked, puzzled. "Shouldn't we be going to the bus station?"
She remembered Cheng Baichuan saying that Commander Yu's wife worked at the provincial hospital, so she did not accompany him to the army.
Commander Yu always goes back to the provincial capital during his vacations. Shouldn't they be heading to the provincial capital right now?
Cheng Baichuan was carrying some things in his hands. "Commander Yu said that we have children at home, and it would be too troublesome for us to make a trip to the provincial capital, so this time it was my sister-in-law and Yu Yang who came to the military region."
Although Commander Yu did not have a separate courtyard in the family quarters, he did have his own independent dormitory room.
Li Wanqing sighed, "Why didn't you tell me beforehand? You made me all flustered."
Cheng Baichuan chuckled, "I thought you knew, so I didn't say anything."
Li Wanqing: ...What does she know?!
“Since we’re both in the military region, it’s convenient to go to the commander’s house. If we go early, I can help prepare dinner,” Li Wanqing said casually.
Cheng Baichuan's eyes were a little unfocused. "We'll talk about it later."
Li Wanqing squinted at him, "If you're not going, then I'll take Nuonuo with me."
"No, no, no!" Cheng Baichuan said nervously, "I'll go, okay?"
He just doesn't know how to face his father as a son, and why his wife doesn't understand him at all.
The more I think about it, the more wronged I feel...
Li Wanqing had already seen through his little scheme.
Men, even until death, retain a bit of childishness.
Li Wanqing patted Nuonuo on the shoulder and pointed to the right, saying, "Nuonuo, look, there are rabbits over there."
These words not only attracted Nono's attention, but also Cheng Baichuan's.
He turned his head to look in the direction Li Wanqing was pointing, and suddenly felt a warm sensation on his cheek. He turned his head again and met his wife's sly eyes.
"You're not upset now, are you?" Li Wanqing said softly.
Cheng Baichuan was still stunned and couldn't quite come to his senses. He really hadn't expected his wife to be so bold and enthusiastic.
Just as I was about to say something, Nono turned her head and asked with a puzzled look, "Mommy~ I didn't see the rabbit."
Li Wanqing quickly squatted down, pressed her face close to Nuonuo's, and looked to the right. "No? But Mom really saw it just now."
Nuonuo's eyebrows furrowed into a knot. She turned to look at her father and softly called out "Daddy," her eyes full of confusion.
Cheng Baichuan coughed and said in a serious tone, "There was indeed a rabbit just now. It was very mischievous and ran very fast, so you probably didn't see it."
"Really?" Nono doubted her own eyes. Why did her parents see it, but she didn't?
Cheng Baichuan comforted her, "It's okay. If we can't see a rabbit this time, Daddy will catch one for Nuonuo next time, okay?"
Nono's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously, "Bye-bye~ Nono wants~ a~ white~ rabbit."
Cheng Baichuan ruffled her hair and said with a smile, "Okay, White Rabbit it is."
Li Wanqing took Nuonuo's hand and said, "Let's go, we still need to go to Uncle Yu Yang's place."
Nono hummed in agreement and quickly forgot about the "rabbit" incident.
Yang Huijun and Yu Yang arrived at the military region a day early. Yu Yang stayed at the guesthouse and went to Yu Guohua's dormitory early the next morning to help.
"To be honest, this seems to be the first time I've met Cheng Baichuan's wife and daughter," Yang Huijun remarked as she busied herself.
Yu Guohua set out the table. "We should have eaten together a long time ago, but the military region has been too busy with enemy agents lately, so it's been delayed until now."
Yang Huijun knew a little about it, after all, it was her son who captured that female spy.
Just then, Yu Yang came in carrying a thermos, and Yang Huijun glared at him with a look of disgust.
"Look at you, Cheng Baichuan isn't much older than you, and his daughter is almost two years old, while you don't even have a girlfriend."
Yu Yang frowned and quickly slipped away. "I'll go see if Commander Cheng has arrived yet?"
Yang Huijun called out several times, but no one responded. She couldn't help but sigh heavily, "That little rascal, he runs so fast."
Yu Guohua laughed and said, "Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. The brat is ungrateful, so just leave him alone."
Yang Huijun turned her head and glared at him, "It's all because the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked. You had a hard time getting married back then, and now it's your son's turn."
Yu Guohua awkwardly touched his nose. "It's not that I'm having trouble getting married. I'm just waiting for you, aren't I?"
Yang Huijun glared at him reproachfully, "At your age, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Yu Guohua chuckled, "I'm telling the truth, Yu Yang has very high standards."
"Besides, he might not listen to us even if we tell him, otherwise he wouldn't have insisted on transferring from the military to civilian life at such a young age."
"Sigh..." Yang Huijun sighed heavily, "If it weren't for that incident..."
She stopped halfway through her sentence, saying, "Forget it, forget it, so many years have passed, let's not talk about it anymore."
Yu Guohua said with a smile, "You know that, so don't rush him."
Yu Yang used to have a girlfriend, but because he was in the army and didn't have any leave, she was kidnapped by human traffickers and her fate is still unknown.
That's why he insisted on transferring from the military to the local public security bureau—he wanted to find his girlfriend.
But five years have passed, even if the person is found...
Some things can never be the same again.
Yang Huijun waved her hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, I won't mention it anymore, alright?"
Yang Huijun handed him a glass bottle, saying, "That brat ran too fast. Go and get some soy sauce."
Yu Guohua: ...I should have stopped that brat earlier.
When Cheng Baichuan and Li Wanqing led the children to the barracks dormitory area, they saw Yu Yang standing at the entrance from afar.
Before Cheng Baichuan could even greet them, Nuonuo shook off their hands and ran towards Yu Yang with a "thump-thump-thump" sound.
