It turned out that a certain country in the south had been somewhat restless recently and had created several military frictions on the border.
As a soldier, Zhao Haoyang had applied to go to the border area at this moment.
Zhao Suisui was stunned when she heard the news.
She had actually heard about the border affairs. She knew that Zhao Haoyang’s trip this time must be full of danger.
As a daughter, Zhao Suisui’s selfish desire must be to hope that her father would be safe.
But having grown up in a military family compound, she knew better than anyone what the word ‘soldier’ meant.
What they protected was not just a small family, but the countless families standing behind them.
This recognition engraved in her mind made Zhao Suisui unable to say no.
She could only hug Zhao Haoyang and said sullenly: “Dad, you must protect yourself.”
Zhao Haoyang was a little overwhelmed by his daughter’s hug. After a few seconds of hesitation, he gently patted her back with his big hands and said with a promise: “Dad promises you.”
After that, Zhao Haoyang’s face showed a touch of relief and pride.
His daughter has really grown up!
The situation on the border was tense, and Zhao Haoyang’s actions were also very fast. Before Zhao Suisui could react, he had already disappeared from Songnan.
Feng He was definitely worried when Zhao Haoyang left, so she planned to go to the military family compound on the other side of the border.
Although she might not have much chance to see Zhao Haoyang normally, being closer to him would always make her feel more at ease.
Zhao Haoyang was transferred from the Songnan troops, so they naturally could not live in the house in the family compound.
Feng He stayed here to deal with these things.
She packed the clothes and other daily necessities into boxes or packages and took them back to Beijing. Some large items that could not be moved were taken to the house in the city. Anyway, they had already bought it.
As for some small things, she would see if the neighbors in the family compound needed them. If they needed it, she would give it to them directly.
Zhao Suisui looked at the gradually emptied house and felt a little uncomfortable.
She realized that after going to college, it might be difficult for her to come back to Songnan City.
After packing up their things, Feng He rushed directly to the border.
Before leaving, she hugged Zhao Suisui apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, Sui Sui. Mom and Dad couldn’t send you to college.”
Zhao Suisui shook her head and said that it was okay.
Feng He touched her face and continued, “You have to be happy when you go to college, you know? Don’t worry too much about your Dad. It’s just friction. It’s not that serious.”
Zhao Suisui nodded heavily.
As soon as Feng He left, Zhao Suisui and others returned to Beijing in advance.
Zhao Suisui and her brother moved back to live with their grandparents.
The old couple were not worried about Zhao Haoyang’s situation. Instead, they were happy to have their grandchildren back.
Zhao Suisui read the newspaper every day and paid attention to the news from the south. After seeing that nothing happened, she was relieved.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and within two days, it was time for the new semester at Beijing University.
Zhao Jingcheng’s military academy also started in the next few days, and he had to leave early, so he was leaving soon.
The night before leaving, Zhao Jingcheng called Lu Zhou out. The two of them lay on the roof looking at the stars.
Zhao Jingcheng felt a lot more relieved that his sister and Lu Zhou were in the same school.
He patted Lu Zhou’s shoulder and said solemnly: “Since we grew up together, I’ll ask you for a favor.”
Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows and said: “You tell me.”
“Isn’t my sister in the same school as you? Please keep an eye on her for me!” Zhao Jingcheng said seriously.
“Keep an eye on her?” Lu Zhou asked back.
“Just take care of her at school.”
Zhao Jingcheng said, “Also, keep an eye on her and don’t let her find a partner! She’s not even an adult yet, so she should study hard!”
Lu Zhou thought about it and nodded naturally: “Don’t worry.”

Translator’s Comment:
Lu Zhou: Of course, I will keep an eye on my future wife!
Oh—
Btw, we don’t know how Zhao Haoyang died in the novel!
Is it because of this war?
