Lowering her face and looking at the bright red document in her hand, Luo Xiaoqian's eyes blurred.
In a trance, what I saw was my father's smiling face as bright as the morning sun.
"They all say that Xiao Qian's father is an ordinary soldier."
"Who said that? Tell them that dad is a very powerful person!"
"Major, Lieutenant?"
"Young Master Bi, Wei Da!"
"Is that Lieutenant?"
"Greater than a lieutenant!"
"Then dad is a general?"
"Don't worry, Xiao Qian, dad will definitely be promoted to general one day!"
…
"Xiao Qian, take good care of mom. When dad comes back from this mission, our family of three can be together all the time. We have to listen to mom, do you understand?"
"What mission does dad want to perform?"
"This, this needs to be kept secret. Dad will tell you when Xiao Qian grows up, okay?"
…
When she was young, she didn't understand the difference between soldiers and generals. She only knew that her father was in Beijing. When she grew up and thought about those things, she always wondered why her father, who was just an ordinary person, was so busy.
Now, she finally understood that her father had always been extraordinary.
When she was a child, her father was a general in her mind. Later, when she grew up, she realized that it was just a lie that her father had coaxed her into. Only now did she realize that her father had never lied.
"Actually, your father has more than just this position. After his death, we have promoted him to the rank of junior general." Leng Lin said softly from the side.
"I know!" Luo Xiaoqian's voice was choked with sobs, "He is a general, he has always been..."
On the side, Leng Zimo stepped up and hugged her into his arms. He didn't say anything, just patted her back gently.
He knew that at this time, she needed to cry once, and he only needed to give her a shoulder.
Both men were silent, and in the study room, only Luo Xiaoqian's low sobs could be heard softly.
After a while, Luo Xiaoqian regained control of her emotions, raised her face from Leng Zimo's arms, and looked at Leng Lin.
"Thank you for telling me this, and thank you for helping me take care of my father all these years."
The last time she went to her father's grave, she didn't see any weeds. All she saw was a neat cemetery, but there was no name on the tombstone.
It was not difficult for her to think that the person taking care of her father's grave must be Leng Lin.
She also knew her father's character. In his mind, his bounden duty was to protect the safety of the country and the people. It was an honor for him to be able to perform such a task, and she would not hold grudges against Leng Lin for this.
"This is what I should do." Leng Lin looked at her gently, "I'm very sorry. I can't take special care of you mother and daughter. I'm really sorry about your mother's affairs."
Luo Xiaoqian shook her head gently.
"What I'm telling you today, you two must keep it secret." Leng Lin took back Luo Chuchen's ID from her hand, "because all this is not completely over yet."
"I know." Luo Xiaoqian nodded in agreement.
She has also seen the words "confidential" and "secret" on the certificate. As a senior official, it is very rare for her to be able to tell her these very important things.
"Let's go, I'll take you to wash your face!"
Leng Zimo hugged her out of the study, took her to his bedroom next door, took out a wet towel from the bathroom, and wiped her face carefully.
