Chapter 4

At the entrance of Lingnan Civil Affairs Bureau in Xitianhou.

Director Tu from the Political Department kept pacing in place…

“That’s enough. I’ve been so consumed by worry about these two people. How can I continue doing this job?”

If one is missing, the other one will also be missing.

They are obviously a good match, but neither of them cares about it.

The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is!”

I saw the staff at the marriage registration office sitting there and taking a nap.

Director Tu came to the duty room.

“Comrade, excuse me!”

He took out his military officer ID and showed it to the officer on duty.

“Can I borrow your phone?”

“Comrade, just register your ID, make a phone call and call your workplace, and that’s all.”

The person on duty took out the registration book and handed it to Director Tu.

After some registration, Director Tu made the call.

The first one is to be transferred to the special operations squadron.

The sentry in the squadron duty room said that the squadron had an emergency meeting today.

However, they did not see Ou Mobei participating.

After hanging up the phone, Director Tu immediately made another call.

In the tent of the field hospital, the phone rings usually when there are emergency wounded people in need of treatment.

However, Song Chenchen, who was practicing sewing at the moment, slowly took out a piece of star candy and put it into his mouth.

I casually folded the candy wrapper into the shape of a boat.

For six years, she would eat a star candy every time she had stitches.

The three iron boxes in the drawer are filled with small boats made from star candy wrappers over the years.

Some of them were folded by her, and some seemed to have a few words on them, and looked like they were folded by someone else.

Who folded it?

“Doctor Song, the phone is ringing. Why didn’t you answer it today?”

Nurse Xiaolin was surprised that Song Chenchen was not anxious when he heard the phone ringing today.

“You go answer it. If it’s me, just tell them I’m having surgery.”

“This… isn’t good!” Xiaolin felt a little embarrassed.

“There’s nothing wrong with that. They shouldn’t think they can seal my happiness with a red stamp.

My husband, I definitely chose him myself.

Otherwise, no matter how outstanding you are, don’t even think about recruiting people from me.”

Xiaolin answered the phone…

Sure enough, it was Director Tu calling.

“Where’s Doctor Song? Tell her to come to the Civil Affairs Bureau immediately with her military officer ID, or I’ll punish her.”

Song Chenchen, who was standing beside Director Tu, heard Director Tu’s roar very clearly, but she didn’t care and was not in a hurry. She was still carefully folding the candy wrapper boat in her hands.

She gestured to Kobayashi who answered the phone.

Xiao Lin understood and nodded.

“Director Tu, Dr. Song is performing surgery and I can’t notify her.

They are the wounded who were just transferred down, seriously injured.”

“Surgery is work, and cooperating with the Political Department to get a marriage certificate is also a serious matter!

Tell her to finish the surgery today and come to the Civil Affairs Bureau immediately!”

“Report, Hello, Director Tu…”

Director Tu was just about to continue yelling at the person on the other end of the phone.

Unexpectedly, a loud report from behind him almost scared him so much that he dropped the phone in his hand.

“Hey, Captain Ou, you still remember to come?

What time is it? You two are getting your marriage certificate, and I’m the first one to arrive. How can that be right?

Director Tu was startled by Ou Mobei who suddenly appeared behind him.

However, the appearance of one of the parties who had obtained the marriage certificate brought substantial progress to his work.

“Director, this is outrageous, but there’s nothing we can do. The baby’s milk powder is gone…”

“Hey, these past few years, it’s really not easy for you, being both a father and a mother.

Look, isn’t the Political Department thinking about you? They’re helping you solve a major life issue.”

Director Tu quickly took on the role of matchmaker.

But who can know:

Before going to the West, when he returned to the military camp, he appeared in front of Song Chenchen and Zi Nan with full expectations.

The originally profound confession became the punishment for what Song Chenchen called “impulsiveness”.

“Director, I think we should just drop this matter.

She’s a girl, and she can’t let her reputation be ruined because of me.”

“Captain Ou, can we just stamp the Political Department’s seal casually?

It is also because of the nature of your work that we can solve your personal problems.

Now, you are forced to do something, and even the Political Department and you yourself can’t handle it?

This is the first time I’ve encountered this. I think Song Chenchen has received too many awards and deserves to be punished.

If she doesn’t come today, I will report to the Chief of Staff and ask her to be transferred back to the headquarters. Then you can take her home and train her yourself.”

Director Tu really had no idea what to do and thought this was the only option left.

Now, she will be outside and suffer some setbacks. She has been transferred back and works from 9 to 5 every day. Let’s see where else she can fly.

“This…this is not good, right?

That day, she told me very clearly that she didn’t want to take care of my child and that she had someone else in her heart.”

At this moment, after returning from the operation that day, the scene of a simple confession appeared in Ou Mobei’s eyes again.

“Captain Ou, you are excellent. You regard responsibility above all else when dealing with your comrades. I also feel your sincerity.

But…on this battlefield, who among us is not like this?

Everyone carries different burdens, but the last piece left in one’s heart will always belong to one’s heart.

You and I should both understand that deep love does not bring longevity and extreme wisdom will lead to harm.

We met too late, we were not destined to be together, and the best for both of us is a sunny day.”

This is what Song Chenchen said to Ou Mobei after he patiently waited for all his comrades around him to disperse.

How could he not understand?

“Deep love does not bring longevity, and extreme wisdom will bring harm.” The weight of these eight words shattered everything.

His eyebrows moved slightly.

“Dad, what does Mom mean by this? Does it mean you can’t come home with us?”

Similarly, at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ou Zinan, who followed Ou Mobei and wanted to witness the joy of the two getting their marriage certificate, also looked disappointed.

“Dad, isn’t Mom coming? Doesn’t she want to go home with us?”

Two identical soul-searching questions at different times left Ou Mobei completely unable to answer.

“Nannan, Mom is busy at work. She just doesn’t have time to go home.”

Ou Zinan stretched out his little hand in front of Ou Mobei and opened his palm.

“Dad, you’re at home, let’s bring food and candy to Mom today.”

“Nannan…”

Before he could finish his words, the sound of brakes made the three people present look in the direction of the sound.

I saw a military jeep parked in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Ou Zinan thought the person coming was Song Chenchen.

“mom……”

The surprised little face turned into disappointment in an instant before he could shout out.

The man was dressed in fully armed camouflage uniform.

“Captain, there’s no time left, it’s time to set off!”

“Nannan, if mom comes later, tell her to remember to eat well and wait for me to come back!”

Ou Mobei opened a piece of candy, stuffed it into Ou Zinan’s mouth, then folded the candy wrapper and placed it in his palm.

“Nannan, Dad will be back tomorrow!”

“Dad…please stay with Nannan for a while!”

Ou Zinan originally thought that today was a happy day.

I heard from my uncle and aunt that after Mom and Dad get the red book, they can go home together to accompany Nan Nan.

Unexpectedly, before his “mother” could come, his father had to rush to the front line immediately.

“Captain, everyone is waiting for you!”
