Chapter 182 Family Dinner
Yu Guohua was slightly annoyed, but then a sudden idea flashed into his mind, and he slapped Cheng Baichuan hard.
"You little rascal, you kept such a big thing from me?"
Military region?
They also claimed he was their biological son.
Who else could it be besides Cheng Chi, the military region leader?
This kid's good at keeping secrets!
Cheng Baichuan choked so badly he almost spat out the water in his mouth. What had he done to deserve this?
Cheng Baichuan swallowed the water before slowly saying, "It's not that I want to hide it, I just feel there's no need to say it out of the blue."
Yu Guohua sighed with emotion, never expecting that the misunderstanding back then was not a misunderstanding, but a real one!
"Am I trying to claim kinship with the leader?" Yu Guohua was still a little stunned.
Cheng Baichuan smirked, "Haven't you always had a good relationship with the leader?"
Yu Guohua coughed and laughed awkwardly, "I was just too surprised, wasn't I? I'll have to go to the leader's house for a meal later, no matter what."
Cheng Baichuan: ......
Yang Huijun tugged at Yu Guohua's clothes, "It's a family dinner, why are you going to join in?"
Yu Guohua said with a serious expression, "I'm Nuonuo's godfather now, so aren't we family too?"
Yang Huijun couldn't bear to look at him and said quietly, "Don't forget, we still need to go to the sanatorium to see Mom later."
Yu Guohua was taken aback, then suddenly slapped his forehead, "I was too excited and forgot about this."
Yu Guohua's elderly mother is quite old and in poor health.
Due to limited resources at the military region, he was placed in a sanatorium in the provincial capital for recuperation.
Yang Huijun and Yu Yang usually go to see her; he only has the chance to visit her when he's on vacation.
Both families had their own plans, and after lunch they chatted for a while and then went their separate ways.
Li Wanqing planned to go directly to Cheng Chi's house, but Cheng Baichuan dawdled along the way.
One minute I'd take Nuonuo to see a flower, the next I'd take Nuonuo to chase a bird—I was always reluctant to do it.
Li Wanqing simply stopped in her tracks. "How about we don't go?"
Before Cheng Baichuan could speak, Nuonuo hesitated, "No, no, no~ Nuonuo will go~"
She wants to see her grandfather!
Cheng Baichuan, who was about to go along with Li Wanqing's suggestion not to go:.....
Li Wanqing's lips twitched slightly, and she said to Nuonuo with a regretful look, "But Dad doesn't seem to want to go."
Nuonuo turned her head and looked at Cheng Baichuan with a puzzled expression. Cheng Baichuan was immediately startled, realizing that his wife had set a trap for him.
"No, no, Dad didn't." Cheng Baichuan quickly waved his hand in denial.
Li Wanqing smiled faintly and said, "Really? Then perhaps it's not that you don't want to go, but that you're afraid to go?"
He then kindly advised Nuonuo, "Since Daddy is scared, how about we don't go this time?"
Nono looked even more confused. Dad is the best dad. Is he really scared?
Cheng Baichuan felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at by the mother and daughter. "I'm not afraid. How could I be afraid?"
To prove this point, Cheng Baichuan picked up Nuonuo and strode forward.
Li Wanqing, who was behind her, smiled slightly, then quickly put it back and followed along.
"Slow down! Wait for me!" Li Wanqing shouted.
......
This time, the family of three arrived at Cheng Chi's home very quickly.
Cheng Chi's family usually consists of only him and his guard. This time, when Cheng Baichuan and his group came to visit, they specially hired a cook.
Li Wanqing didn't sit idle after arriving. She asked Cheng Baichuan to take Nuonuo to accompany Cheng Chi, while she went to the kitchen to help the housekeeper prepare dinner.
"Did you tell Wanqing about participating in the military academy selection?" Cheng Chi asked.
Cheng Baichuan paused for a moment, then shook his head. "I haven't said anything yet."
He was in a coma for two years, and now he's finally reunited with his wife. If he goes to military school, they'll be separated for at least three years.
He's already been absent for two years, is he going to be absent again?
"Besides, with my skill level, I might pass the military skills test, but I won't pass the academic subjects," Cheng Baichuan said casually.
When he was in Hunan Province, he never went to school.
I did learn some things in the army, but that's far from enough to get into university.
Cheng Chi disagreed with Cheng Baichuan's words, but he knew the brat's temper, so he didn't bring it up again for the time being.
"I heard Nuonuo is studying medicine with Meng Renjie?" Cheng Chi changed the subject.
Cheng Baichuan nodded. "The little one is interested, and her uncle also thinks she has a lot of talent, so we're letting her get acquainted with it for now, without her formally starting to learn."
Cheng Chi nodded in satisfaction, "Look at you, you're not even as good as your daughter as a father."
My daughter is ambitious, but I just want to stay in my comfort zone.
Cheng Baichuan didn't say anything; he felt that his current life was pretty good.
He can protect his country and also take good care of his family.
During the meal, Cheng Chi brought up the military academy again, which almost made Cheng Baichuan smash his bowl.
"I've already said, I'm not considering this," Cheng Baichuan said coldly.
He was a little annoyed. Even though he had already made his stance clear, Cheng Chi still insisted on saying it.
Li Wanqing was initially quite happy, but after hearing Cheng Baichuan's words, she was somewhat confused.
"You don't want to go?" Li Wanqing asked.
Cheng Baichuan shook his head. "I don't want to go. I'm just a roughneck; I can't get into that lousy school."
Cheng Chi was angered by Cheng Baichuan's negative attitude. "So what if you're a roughneck? Don't forget, you were one of the soldiers I trained back then. Do you think I don't know your capabilities?"
Cheng Baichuan kept a straight face and pursed his lips without saying a word.
Li Wanqing frowned. "That's a bit of a pity."
Li Wanqing's sudden words left not only Cheng Chi confused, but also Cheng Baichuan.
"Wife, what do you mean by this?" Cheng Baichuan asked, puzzled.
Li Wanqing blinked and said, "When I returned to Hunan Province this time, I received news that the college entrance examination will be reinstated in the future."
"I was planning to take the college entrance exam, and I was initially quite happy that you could go to university with me, but now..."
"Fine, I can take Nuonuo to school. She can also attend kindergarten in the provincial capital."
Upon hearing this, both Cheng Baichuan and Cheng Chi were surprised.
"Are you telling the truth?" Cheng Chi was skeptical. There were rumors of changes coming, but nothing seemed certain.
From whom did Li Wanqing get this information?
Li Wanqing said with a serious expression, "The information is not accurate, but there should be a great chance. In any case, it's always good to be prepared early."
"Now is the time when our country needs talent, and it is imperative to educate and cultivate outstanding talent."
Cheng Chi thought about it and suddenly realized that this daughter-in-law was no ordinary person; at least in terms of her thinking, she was much more advanced than this brat.
“That’s right, I support you.” Cheng Chi said, glancing at Cheng Baichuan. “Some people just don’t know how to seize opportunities, destined to be lonely.”
Cheng Baichuan: ......
