2599 Reunion
Mr. Fu was a little surprised. This commander-in-chief knew about his family too?
Commander Xia had never thought of pretending that he didn’t know anything. Pretending that he didn’t know anything now would be detrimental to the future development of the two families. It was better to tell him directly now that they had met.
After a short moment of surprise, Mr. Fu frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “I wonder when I can meet my daughter? I’m a little worried about her. I want to know if she’s injured.”
Commander Xia could answer this question immediately. “No, everything is fine. There’ll be a short conversation here. They can go back after that.”
!!
His future daughter-in-law was coming back, but she wouldn’t be going back to the courtyard. She would go back to the Fu family.
Commander Xia sighed softly.
After knowing that his daughter wasn’t injured, Mr. Fu heaved a sigh of relief. “Then I’ll wait for her. I’ll wait for her outside. Please tell my daughter that I’m here for her after the meeting ends. I’ll wait for her in the car outside.”
Mr. Fu wouldn’t be at ease if he didn’t see his daughter personally. Also, this was the first time he was bringing his daughter home… He didn’t want to go home alone. He wanted to bring his daughter home with him.
It was because he didn’t manage to find his wife and didn’t know about his daughter’s existence that he never sent his daughter to school.
This was his regret, and it was a regret that he would never be able to make up for.
Now that his daughter had grown up, he didn’t want to miss any more chances at interacting with her. He was willing to wait no matter how late it was.
He was waiting for his daughter to bring her home.
Mr. Fu couldn’t help but feel excited when he thought about seeing his daughter later and bringing her home.
However, his excitement was short-lived. He thought of the guard who was sacrificed and how his body was sent back to the country. This was the guard who sacrificed himself to cover him. Mr. Fu closed his eyes gently and sighed. When he opened his mouth again, his voice was a little serious. “Does the military have anything planned tomorrow? I want to bring her to see the family of the martyr and send him off.”
“I’m sorry, Engineer Fu. The ashes of the martyr have been brought back to the military unit where he was when he was alive. You… Sigh, you can go to the martyr’s memorial park to visit the martyr in the future.” Commander Xia’s eyes turned serious when he mentioned the martyr who sacrificed.
When Mr. Fu knew that the martyr’s ashes were being transported back to the military unit he was in when he was alive, he couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly. After a long time, he said, “Okay, I’ll go back to the car and wait. Sorry to disturb you, Commander-in-Chief.”
He could bring his daughter home, but the parents of the martyr would never be able to see their children smile again.
“Engineer Fu, there’s no need to blame yourself. This is the final destination of a soldier. It’s their responsibility too. He has fulfilled his responsibility as a soldier to fight for the country.” Commander Xia could see the guilt in Mr. Fu’s heart. His voice was low and authoritative. “Every soldier has the awareness that they might one day be sacrificed. They’ll have no regrets, including your daughter.”
Whether it was Ye Jian or Xia Jinyuan, the thousands of soldiers were the same.
Ye Jian didn’t know that her father had arrived in the military. After sending off the martyr, she raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Facing the summer evening breeze in the capital city, she whispered, “How good would it be if there were no sacrifices?”
How good would it be if death did not exist? There wouldn’t be any sorrow, then.
“It’s a beautiful dream, but it’s only limited to dreams. Sacrifices and death will always exist, and our hope is to reduce the number of sacrifices.” Xia Jinyuan, who was standing beside her, heard this and said slowly in a tense and low voice, “We use our sorrow to exchange it for a family reunion. Azure Bird, this is our responsibility.”
The wind blew away her sorrow and dispelled the gloominess in her heart.
That was right. If it were not for the sacrifices of the soldiers, how could they be reunited?
