Chapter 5

“Dad, Dad, don’t go. Wait, wait a little longer. Mom will definitely come.”

Nan Nan cried and shouted, holding on to the corner of Ou Mobei’s military uniform and refused to let go.

Director Tu hurried forward and hugged him.

“Go quickly, I’ll take care of Song Chenchen’s problem.”

“Yes, Director!”

Ou Mobei looked at Ou Zinan reluctantly. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t say it in the end.

“Dad, Mom is coming, don’t leave.

Uncle and aunt said that once you get the red book, they will take Nan Nan home for dinner.”

“Nannan, be obedient. Daddy will be back tomorrow!”

Come back tomorrow again!

Ou Zinan has heard it countless times.

When Ou Mobei’s car started, the little body and crying sounds followed the car for a short distance as never before.

“puff……”

Ou Zinan fell to the ground, and the candy and candy wrapper in his hand fell to the ground.

His little hand was rubbed and bled a little.

“Nannan, why are you crying again? Where’s your dad?”

When Song Chenchen’s voice came, Ou Zinan’s little face stopped crying immediately.

But two seconds later, he cried even louder.

The little hands and face were covered with dust from tears and were lying on the ground.

He looked at the direction where Ou Mobei’s military vehicle was going away, still crying, and ignored Song Chenchen.

“Where’s your dad? Little boy, I’m asking you a question.”

Song Chenchen already had a rough guess in her mind, but she still wanted to confirm it.

Oh my god, these bomb disposal missions are too frequent.

It’s really pitiful that the child is on the verge of life and death every day and has no one to accompany him.

“Ou Zinan, if you want to sleep with me at night and have grandma drink, then get up by yourself and don’t expect me to hold you.”

“Um…Mom, why did you come just now? Dad just left.”

“I…I’m busy with surgery.”

Song Chenchen didn’t want to say that he was actually exchanged for a three-month medical academic exchange and learning opportunity by the dean.

In the 1970s, there were only one or two such academic exchange opportunities available nationwide.

She was usually busy in the field hospital and had no chance like this.

Every time she found out, the list had already been announced or the academic exchange had ended.

This time, the dean took the initiative to get a spot and placed it in front of her.

At this moment, she hesitated.

“If you want this spot, bring your military officer ID to the Civil Affairs Bureau right away.

Don’t just sit here and eat your candy.”

Song Chenchen was holding the candy wrapper he had just folded in his hand.

For seven years, whenever the candy on her desk was almost gone, a new can would appear on her desk.

In addition, there is a box of small boats folded with candy wrappers. When you unfold the candy wrappers, you will see a coordinate and three or five words inside.

Song Chenchen knew that this was the location where the candy delivery person always carried out his mission.

In a very obscure way, he was reporting his peace to himself.

For the past seven years, Song Chenchen has been looking forward to meeting him in person, even if it’s just for three minutes.

This was also the main reason why she stayed in the field hospital and did not think about transferring back to the agency.

Today, the dean exchanged three months of academic exchange with her in exchange for going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate with Ou Mobei.

“Lao Zhang, I’m not going. Give this opportunity to someone else.”

Song Chenchen thought for a moment. She didn’t want her leader to arrange such important life events for her without her knowledge.

She didn’t want to miss any chance to see the candy man.

Looking at the few star candies in the jar on the table.

Song Chenchen stated his decision firmly.

“No, you have to go today even if you don’t want to.

There is no room for negotiation, otherwise I will transfer you back to the sanatorium to work in the office tomorrow.”

“What? You’re threatening me. You’re playing with the lives of our soldiers.”

Song Chenchen immediately stood up and shouted at the top of his voice.

“What a joke! The military district’s new batch of surgical experts will be back soon after their training.

When the time comes, I will just transfer two of the assigned ones over.

Go back to the sanatorium, so your uncle and aunt don’t have to come to the battlefield every time to ask you for living expenses.”

You are so good, Old Zhang, you actually found my weakness.

This time, Song Chenchen was really under the control of Dean Zhang.

If I am really transferred from the field hospital, I will really lose contact with the candy sender.

She will be gone for three months, and three months should be quick.

“Okay, I’ll go, but… I can study and take care of the kids at the same time. Can we not get a marriage certificate?”

“What? Everything has to be approved by the Political Department. I don’t have the authority. Otherwise, you shouldn’t go. You should prepare to be transferred back to the sanatorium next week.”

“Lao Zhang, go, I’ll go, I’ll go with you now.”

Song Chenchen was extremely reluctant and unwilling.

She took her military ID and got into Dean Zhang’s car, and together they drove towards Lingnan City…

Who knew that God would help her?

When we arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ou Mobei had already left.

They all understand that there is no time to lose in carrying out the mission.

Now, Song Chenchen was so happy that he was flying off the handle.

Taking care of the kids, no problem, I’ll sleep with her tonight.

If he wants to make milk, that’s no problem. Go buy him milk powder right away.

As long as you don’t get a marriage certificate, everything is fine.

They missed each other by accident, and no one was happier than her at this moment.

“Why are you here just now? Song Chenchen, the Political Department is busy with work.

I can spare half a day to help you two get your marriage certificate. This is the chief of staff’s special instruction.

Now, how can I report back?”

Song Chenchen did not understand what Director Tu and Dean Zhang were nagging about.

She walked forward, took Ou Zinan’s hand, brushed off the dust on his body, and took out an alcohol cotton pad from her pocket to wipe his face.

Unexpectedly, he brought out the candy wrapper boat he had folded earlier.

“Hey… Mommy likes to eat star candies too?”

“Little devil, eating too much sugar will cause tooth decay. You must eat less from now on.”

Seeing that Nan Nan had stopped crying, Song Chenchen took his hand and walked towards the division headquarters.

Later, the two subjective leaders kept complaining to each other and shirking responsibility.

At the same time, the two were discussing how to report their “dereliction of duty” to the Chief of Staff.

When they arrived at the entrance of the division headquarters, Song Chenchen did not take Ou Zinan back to the dormitory first.

She brought her child to the service center.

“Nannan, I’m going back to the agency to study for three months. If dad goes on a mission during these three months, you can come live with me, okay?”

“Mom, is this true? Nannan sleeps with mom when dad is not around?”

“Of course it’s true. I’ll take you here to buy some snacks and daily necessities, okay?”

Song Chenchen planned to help you take care of the child during the three months of study. If we don’t get a marriage certificate, everything will be fine.

It would be nice if Ou Mobei could just go there for three months.

“Mom, when Dad comes back, will you guys go get the red book?”

“Well……”

Ou Zinan is a smart kid. How come he asks questions without any nonsense?

Song Chenchen thought for a long time and decided that this child was not easy to deceive.

“Nannan, children don’t understand adult matters.”
