Chapter 705: Your affairs, no one can replace
"Loyalty and filial piety cannot both be satisfied, and your choice is already the pride of my Chen Family."
"Look around the Dayuan, which child is as outstanding as you two?"
"Nan Nan, don't put so many shackles on yourself, whether it's your grandmother, or me, this old man, everyone who cares about you."
"We have never blamed you; you have already done well enough!"
Chen Laoyezi's words were resonant, carrying an unquestionable affirmation.
But An Yinan shook her head; she was worthy of the country, but she had failed her own family.
"Grandfather, you don't need to comfort me." An Yinan lowered her head.
"Hahaha, you girl, you have a day of being sentimental too!" Chen Laoyezi laughed again.
"Girl, I, this old man, have a Guard, have an aunt to take care of me, have a Doctor to see me when I'm sick, and many people surround me, it's very annoying!"
!"
"But..."
Chen Laoyezi raised his head and looked at his granddaughter-in-law. Many years later, when An Yinan recalled the words he said to her, she would still feel grateful.
"Your work, no one can replace."
"The country needs you!"
No one can replace, needs!
Every word and every sentence was spoken from the mouth of that old man.
If anyone else said it, it wouldn't have such great power. Chen Lao is not just Chen Xun's grandfather; he is a hero of the country, a general who survived the Frontline!
His words were so heavy.
Heard in An Yinan's heart, they felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
"Child, while you are young, while you have the ability, go out and venture."
"We old folks are behind you to support you, what are you afraid of?"
When he said this, there was a smile on his face, and the longing in his eyes was so obvious.
In his heart, he wished to die on the battlefield, but the general was already in his twilight years.
What a great sorrow this was.
"Yes!" An Yinan nodded, and her drifting heart suddenly settled down.
With these old people backing her up, what else did she have to fear?
Looking at the two children in her arms, they were surnamed Chen, they were children of the Yun Family and the Chen Family, and they were her, An Yinan's, children.
They would rather have a hero for a mother than grow up and hear other children say, "Dabao, Xiaobao, your mother is a coward."
"Your mother deserted in the face of battle and lost face for the country."
"She is a coward!"
She absolutely would not allow such a stain to appear on her children.
Gun King Special Training, is it?
Since you forced me onto a dead end, then let's see if this road is my dead end, or yours.
Separation of flesh and blood, leaving home, all the pain, all the suffering, she would find it back bit by bit on the battlefield.
"Alright, I see you've thought it through. Go to the Yun Family to eat. My cooking as an old man isn't as good as your Big Aunt's, so I won't keep you."
"Your mother-in-law should be back in a while, I'll tell her to go straight to the Yun Family."
Chen Lao decided it directly. It wasn't that he didn't want to keep her, but Nan Nan definitely had more to say to her family.
He didn't want to make this child feel conflicted.
She had already done well enough with the major affairs of the country; how could he let these small matters make the child feel conflicted?
"You come with me." An Yinan stood up with a smile, then looked at Dabao.
Dabao saw his mother's gaze and immediately stretched out his lotus-root-like little arms, "Great-grandfather, hug!"
Seeing this, Chen Laoyezi pointed at Dabao, "You little rascal."
"When your father was little, he wasn't like you. You must have taken after your mother; you're both little rascals."
An Yinan handed the little one over, then held only Xiaobao, and touched her own nose, "How so? I'm very well-behaved."
Chen Laoyezi laughed heartily, looked at An Yinan's embarrassed appearance, and then nodded affirmatively, "Well-behaved!"
One word, and who knew how much sincerity was inside it.
Chen Laoyezi doted on the child for a while, then handed the child back to An Yinan. He was old, his arms and legs weren't what they used to be, and if the child fell or got bumped, his heart would ache.
"Then let's go, let's go eat at your Big Uncle's house together."
"Don't mention it, I haven't eaten there in a long time. My stomach has been filled with clear soup and plain water every day; it's so boring!"
The Guard looked at the sky, not daring to answer.
Yesterday you even made me secretly buy roast chicken, many people know about it, how can you lie!
Acting pitiful in front of your granddaughter-in-law, old General, you really have a way!
Over there, Chen Laoyezi didn't care about others. Now he didn't even use his cane, walking directly beside An Yinan toward the Yun Family.
The two families were close, both in the same Dayuan, taking less than ten minutes, but carrying the children and having the old man with her, An Yinan slowed her pace.
"Nan Nan is back." Old and young, they hadn't even walked halfway yet.
They saw Sun Chunhua riding a bicycle, carrying Chen Guohua.
Chen Guohua was the son of the Chen Family and Yun Qin. Now that the child was older, he didn't let people call him by his childhood name.
"Great-grandfather, Second Aunt." Chen Guohua saw his grandmother stop and immediately jumped off the bike.
Then he greeted the few people politely, walked to An Yinan's side, and reached out toward Dabao and Xiaobao.
Rarely, Xiaobao immediately smiled and stretched out her arms. Chen Guohua took his little sister into his arms. The little sister smelled sweet and spoke softly. He had also asked his mother to give birth to a little sister for him, but his mother said she wouldn't give birth anymore.
He even cried for a long time before!
Now he has just resigned himself to his fate!
"Xiaobao, did you cry?"
"Did you play?"
"Have you learned the counting your brother taught you yesterday?" Chen Guohua's personality was not shy, but he was not a brat either; at first glance, he gave off the feeling of someone with a solid, upright background.
Yet when he held Xiaobao, his demeanor was that of a total sister-obsessed brother.
It left An Yinan feeling both amused and exasperated.
"Guohua told Yun Qin that he wanted her to give birth to a little sister, but his mother refused, so he cried for a whole day," Sun Chunhua said, showing no mercy as she brought up her grandson's embarrassing past.
Chen Guohua heard this, but he did not respond.
He still had to be understanding of the elderly's mischievous sense of humor.
An Yinan curled the corners of her lips; the Chen Family could be said to have had three generations of boys, and only little Chen Anxia had come along, so both the elders and his peers doted on her.
"How did the school visit go?" Little Chen Guohua needed to change schools, and today Sun Chunhua had taken the child to look at schools.
"It's already been decided; the school environment over there is quite good, and since it is the Military District School, safety is guaranteed," Sun Chunhua replied with a chuckle.
Their Chen Family were all soldiers.
Who knew if there were any fish that had slipped through the net? Rather than going to another school, it was more reassuring to put him in the Military District School, as everyone inside was a child of the Military District.
Moreover, it was not far away, so it would be convenient for her to pick him up and drop him off every day.
"That is also fine!" Chen Laoyezi nodded and said nothing more.
