The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 271 - 269: Returning Home? Not Allowed

Hongling successfully passed the nursing class exam at the district nursing school and couldn’t help but cry when she received the acceptance letter.

Wang Liansheng said to her, "Pack up, there’s a car going to Fucheng tomorrow. You should head home, visit your grandpa, grandma, and your mom before school starts. They all miss you since you haven’t been home for so long."

Hongling hesitated, "Uncle, Aunt isn’t home, and you’re busy with work. If I stay here, I can still look after Xiao Xing and Shi Tou."

Before Wang Liansheng could speak, Xiaoyu laughed, "Don’t worry about them. Xiao Xing is bigger now and can take care of herself. It’s only Shi Tou..."

Suddenly, little Shi Tou, who was engrossed in watching cartoons, jumped up, raising his little chubby hand high, and said loudly, "I’m grown up too. I can bathe myself!"

Everyone laughed at his words.

After the laughter subsided, Wang Liansheng said, "You should go back. I’m not busy at work recently, and Xiaoyu can look after things. There won’t be any problems."

Hongling pursed her lips and suddenly said, "Uncle, why don’t we all go back together? My grandpa planted so many watermelons, melons this year. It’s the perfect time to go back and eat them. There are fresh eggplants, tomatoes, and sweet cane... Xiao Xing and Shi Tou haven’t gone back for years. It’s a good chance for them to visit."

Xiao Xing and Shi Tou were tempted by her suggestion, their eyes turning to their father, eagerly waiting for him to agree.

Wang Liansheng hesitated because that time Zhou Xiuying had thought of selling Shi Tou without any hesitation, and later let Wang Lianxiang put locust thorns in Shi Tou’s cotton pants. He truly feared that if Xiao Xing and Shi Tou went back, she might secretly harm them.

As he reflected, realizing his biggest concern was his own parents and kin, Wang Liansheng felt a deep, indescribable sadness.

"You pack up first. Let me see. If everyone goes, there might not be enough space in tomorrow’s car," Wang Liansheng didn’t want to crush the children’s spirits, so he found a gentle excuse.

Even so, Xiao Xing and Shi Tou were not pleased. Xiao Xing pouted, while Shi Tou started to cry, until Wang Liansheng pulled him into his arms and consoled him, "I originally planned for your older sister to go home alone, and the car I found only has space for one person. Tomorrow, I’ll look around for a car, if I can find one, I’ll send you, your sister, and aunt home, okay?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

With tears almost spilling, Shi Tou looked at his dad for confirmation, "Really?"

"You little rascal, when has your dad ever lied to you?" Wang Liansheng chuckled helplessly, pinching his son’s nose teasingly.

Only then did little Shi Tou feel embarrassed, and he buried himself in his father’s embrace, wiping the corner of his eyes and a little bit of snot onto his dad’s clothes.

With comfort from Wang Liansheng, Hongling went home alone first.

When Wang Liansheng went to work and reached the front gate, little Shi Tou ran out tapping his feet, reminding, "Dad, find a car."

Amused, Wang Liansheng waved his hand, "I won’t forget. Xiaoyu, take him back, keep an eye on him, don’t let him run out, alright?"

Little Shi Tou puffed out his cheeks, huffing, "I’m a good kid."

"Good, good. My son is a good kid, the most obedient," Wang Liansheng praised with a smile, waving his hand before getting into a car by the roadside.

Lian Zhaowen chucklingly asked, "Looking for a car? Feel free to ask Lao Chen if you need one, don’t hesitate."

Wang Liansheng smiled and shook his head, "The kids’ cousin is going home, and the kids are fussing about wanting to go too. At home, there’s only my uncle, aunt, and eldest sister-in-law. The whole family has twelve people, thirty acres of land. Even if help can be found during the farming season, it’s still plenty tiring regularly. How can I let the kids go back and cause a mess?"

Lian Zhaowen’s eyes flashed with a barely perceptible shadow, then he smiled, "True, it’s peak farming season now."

After a pause, Lian Zhaowen shifted his body, turning to Wang Liansheng, "By the way, our equipment has arrived. The cargo ship is docked at Hai City port. We’re going to inspect the equipment, why not bring the kids along? It could count as a summer trip."

Wang Liansheng frowned, "This... isn’t such a good idea."

Lian Zhaowen looked at him and suddenly laughed, "What’s wrong with it? We’re just on a business trip, and the kids could just go play for a couple of days, that’s all. We’re driving ourselves, saving you a bit on travel expenses. All the spending there will still come from your own pocket, I definitely won’t be bribing anyone, I’m an upstanding law-abiding... compatriot."

His straightforwardness made Wang Liansheng feel somewhat embarrassed.

He chuckled and said, "Then I’ll go back and tell the kids. They’ll surely be happy about going to Hai City and won’t trouble me anymore."

While speaking, he subconsciously rubbed his temples and laughed, "The little one is five, right at that mischievous age. If he really makes a fuss, I also get anxious."

Lian Zhaowen happily laughed, patting Wang Liansheng’s knee, saying, "It’s the perfect time for you. Kids are mischievous and noisy, but it’s also happiness. When they grow up, like birds with wings ready to fly alone, you’ll just want them to... hehe..."

Halfway through, Lian Zhaowen stopped talking, but he only shook his head and smiled.

Even though he didn’t finish his words, Wang Liansheng sensed a moment of helplessness and melancholy in his wistful smile and gentle head shake.

What’s wrong with the kids growing up? It’s less worry!

At this moment, Wang Liansheng hadn’t felt it yet, nor could he empathize, he just politely smiled along.

...

Far to the south, a small border town. Only dozens of kilometers from the front line.

On quiet nights, the town’s residents can even hear the rumbling sounds of artillery fire.

Having been here for a week, the soldiers have gradually adapted from initial tension and anxiety, struggling with sleep, to adjusting, sleeping like piglets after intense training during the day. In between training, they’ve resumed joking and making fun of each other.

Ling Chengyan returned from the command center and saw the soldiers gathered together, singing and causing a ruckus during training breaks, couldn’t help but smile at the corners of his lips.

Though young, the soldiers are all admirable.

"Fall in," Ling Chengyan came over, breaking the joyful atmosphere.

Everyone hurriedly stood up and formed lines, and within moments, they were all lined up.

Ling Chengyan stepped forward, saluted, and spoke, "At ease. I have something to share..."

The team has been here for a week; the climate and environment have been basically adapted to. The command center has notified that the team will soon begin training selection, and positions or tasks will be decided based on selection performance.

After announcing, Ling Chengyan added, "Those from the special training unit will have two additional special projects beyond the basic ones, but the details will be notified later."

After the notification, Ling Chengyan glanced at the soldiers he brought out. The boys subtly straightened their backs—this look from their leader was all too familiar; every time they saw it, they couldn’t help but shiver.
