Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 497 - 343: Reunion
Chapter 497: Chapter 343: Reunion
Hearing Lan Ailian say he pushed his daughter into a fiery pit, Yun Fengshan’s brows furrowed, and he let go of his wife, looking at her earnestly, "If I also have to go on a mission with Zhou Hanliang now, would you divorce me immediately?"
"What?" Lan Ailian’s voice instantly rose by eight octaves, "You’re lying to me, aren’t you? You must be lying, aren’t you?"
"Have you forgotten that Division A belongs to our military?" Yun Fengshan let out a heavy sigh, "I really didn’t expect that the thoughts of an offspring of a soldier could be so narrow-minded. If a soldier doesn’t protect his home and country, then what’s the point of serving?"
"You protect other people’s homes, but what about your own?" Lan Ailian let out a forlorn sigh, "I never used to think this way, you know it. But my dad spent his life protecting others’ homes, and what was the result? Every time he came home and I saw his injured leg, I would feel a chill from the bottom of my heart. He can forgive, but I can’t.
Yun Fengshan, you can call me selfish, say I’m narrow-minded, but let me make it clear to you, I don’t want you to go. This home, whether you still want it or not, think about it carefully."
"Unreasonable." Yun Fengshan stood up and walked outside, "If you want a divorce, just file the report. I won’t hold you back."
"Yun Fengshan, you bastard!" Lan Ailian threw a broom from the sofa at Yun Fengshan, hitting him heavily on the back. Just then, two nannies came back with Yun Guoguo. Seeing the stern-faced man standing in the middle of the living room, the nannies’ expressions changed, and they tried to take Yun Guoguo back out, but Guoguo ran to Yun Fengshan with laughter, "Daddy!"
Yun Fengshan fondly checked his daughter’s hand, relieved that it was warm. He nodded approvingly at the nannies, "You can go take a break."
"Yes." The nannies swiftly retreated to their room, closing the door tightly behind them. They now regretted coming back at such an inopportune time. If they had known, they would have taken the young mistress out for a while longer. Sigh!
"Daddy, yes, Guoguo just went out to play. Aunt Liu and Auntie Li took Guoguo out to play. Daddy, it was so much fun outside. Will you take Guoguo and mommy to play tomorrow, please?" Yun Guoguo, like a child, clung to Yun Fengshan, squirming around. Yun Fengshan’s heart softened immediately, and he gently patted her back, "Okay, daddy will take you out to play, but maybe not tomorrow. Day after tomorrow, is that okay?"
"Okay!" Yun Guoguo happily nodded her head and climbed out of Yun Fengshan’s embrace, flinging herself at Lan Ailian, "Mom, daddy will take us out to play, and we won’t take Doudou because she doesn’t behave."
"Hmm, daddy will take Guoguo out, but not Doudou." Lan Ailian cooed at her elder daughter, "Guoguo, go change into your home clothes and then come back out, okay?"
Yun Guoguo looked at Yun Fengshan uncertainly.
Yun Fengshan smiled at her and waved his hand, "Go on, daddy’s not leaving. I’ll wait here for Guoguo to come down."
"Mhm." Cheering happily, Yun Guoguo bounded upstairs.
Lan Ailian wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and hung her head in silence.
With a heavy sigh, Yun Fengshan sat next to her, "Alright, I was wrong. I know you can’t get over this inner hurdle, but some things really shouldn’t be blamed like this.
Every time I see Guoguo, my heart aches as if pricked by needles. Our mistakes, and the mistakes of that era, are being borne by her.
But if you think about it, if we weren’t so foolish back then, perhaps things wouldn’t be like this today. So, we mustn’t make the same errors again.
If I shirk now, our children will be pointed at, and neither you nor I could walk out with our backs straight. At the same time, we won’t be able to live with the guilt, right?"
"It was you who was foolish, not us!" Lan Ailian glared at Yun Fengshan resentfully, "Even now, you haven’t figured out who is really at fault?"
"Fine, it’s all my fault. But do you want our children to grow up unable to hold their heads high? If I back down, they’ll never be able to hold their heads high, and probably neither will we, right?"
Lan Ailian’s brows furrowed, "Don’t try to scare me with that kind of talk. There’s a clear regulation this time, families with only one son can be exempted. Your family only has you, don’t they?"
"I am the Deputy Military Commander."
"Isn’t the Deputy Military Commander a person?"
"Being unreasonably obstinate!" All the softness in Yun Fengshan’s heart vanished clean away; he simply couldn’t communicate with his wife anymore. However, he always kept his word in front of his children, so naturally, he couldn’t leave Guoguo behind. Feeling uncomfortable staying in the living room, he decided to go upstairs and wait outside his daughter’s door.
"Daddy, carry me." Upon seeing her father come out, Yun Guoguo was naturally overjoyed and clung to her father’s neck, acting like a koala.
"Guoguo is so big now; daddy can’t carry you," Yun Fengshan said as he took his daughter’s hand and walked downstairs, "Daddy will take you to grandpa and grandma’s house, okay?"
"Okay." Yun Guoguo nodded vigorously, her face beaming with joy, "Grandma and Grandpa love Guoguo the most. Mom, let’s go, let’s visit Grandma and Grandpa and not Uncle’s Wife—she’s bad!"
...
After Yun Doudou left home with her bag, she didn’t head to her adoptive parents’ place. She knew if she did, it would only make them worry and lose sleep.
Her adoptive parents were ordinary workers who had an instinctive fear of her father, a military officer, and her mother, who came from a military family. When Lan Ailian took her home, she had talked to the adoptive parents, telling them not to get too close to Yun Doudou.
Therefore, even if they missed her terribly, they didn’t dare to bring her back home. If it hadn’t been for her brother Li Xingjun telling her that their parents couldn’t sleep because they missed her, she would have truly believed that they only took care of her out of duty, and once she left, they wouldn’t consider her family anymore. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Because of her upbringing, she didn’t have any close friends. Standing on the roadside with her bag, she felt a sense of having nowhere to go...
...
Chuxia was currently bored, sitting in Zhou Mikang’s office and counting her fingers for fun. Great Regimental Commander Zhou would leave tomorrow, and her dear teacher had insisted she come to Group A to keep him company.
Thinking about the long separation before they could meet again, she complied with her teacher’s wish. But after arriving, she found out that the regimental commander Tongzi wasn’t there, Hanliang Tongzi wasn’t there either, and it was inappropriate for her to disturb others during working hours, so she went to ask Division Commander Xu for the keys to Zhou Mikang’s office to wait for the regimental commander.
Just as she was getting so bored that she was about to doze off, a series of footsteps approached from outside the door, and with a jolt, she quickly stood up.
"Chuxia?" Yun Doudou at the door, her face full of surprise.
"Doudou, how come you’re here? I’ve missed you to death, you heartless creature. You disappeared without a trace. We’ve all missed you. Xiaoqiong was still cursing you a few days ago, calling you an ungrateful wretch." Chuxia walked up to her, grumbling incessantly.
"I’m sorry, I couldn’t even attend your wedding..." Yun Doudou sighed, "I’ve missed you all terribly, too. It’s not that I’m heartless. I was afraid that seeing you would make me do something to upset my mom, and then all my efforts would have been in vain.
But now I think about it, I was really foolish. My mom is not someone who can come to her senses just by waiting. So, I’ve run away from home now and I’m seeking shelter."
Chuxia smirked and poked her forehead, "You’re here to seek refuge with Instructor Zhou, aren’t you?"
"No, I was planning to find you, but I didn’t know exactly where you were assigned, so I thought of coming here to ask the regimental commander and happened to run into you. Where is he?"
"I don’t know, I haven’t seen him since I got here. When I asked Division Commander Xu, he didn’t know where he had gone either, saying that all the work tasks for Division A had been set, and he might have gone out on business."
"What?" Yun Doudou slapped her forehead sharply, "Could he have gone to look for you? You know, he came to my house with Zhou Hanliang, and then he left early. I suppose he might have gone to find you. You two must have missed each other."
"Possibly." Chuxia nodded, "Then I’ll just wait here in peace. By the way, what are your plans for the future? How about we go find Captain Zeng now, to see if she can help arrange anything for you?"
"Let’s just wait for the regimental commander to come back first. Wouldn’t want you two to miss each other again; he would be furious with me." Yun Doudou clutched Chuxia’s arm, her face filled with nostalgia, "Over the past six months, I’ve often thought of the days I spent with you all. Honestly, growing up, you are the first real friends I’ve ever had.
When I was four years old, I was sent to live with my adoptive parents, and the kids there saw me as an outsider and didn’t like playing with me, so I could only play with my adoptive brother.
Later, when my parents came back for me, the children from my parents’ circle didn’t like me much either, because I wasn’t familiar with many things they liked.
Back then, I was so proud that I deliberately ignored them. If I hadn’t met Zhou Hanliang, I probably still wouldn’t understand what real friendship is."
"You never mentioned any of this before. We had no idea about your family background. You’re too secretive, just vanishing all of a sudden."
"I don’t consider my parents’ home my real home. In my heart, the home of my dad and mom is my true home. Honestly, they are the ones who care for me genuinely. My father is also good to me, but my mother... " When speaking of Lan Ailian, Yun Doudou sighed and did not go on.
Chuxia could only console her, saying, "There are no parents in the world who don’t love their child. Sometimes their methods may be wrong, but in their eyes, they definitely think they are doing what is best for the child. It’s not likely intentional."

Here’s the first update for today. Okay, I admit, I slacked off during the day. I confess my guilt, and I will double my efforts tomorrow. (To be continued.
