Chapter 232: Chapter 232: A Confirmed Answer_1
“Dad, take good care of yourself at home.”
They were going into the county town to catch a train, and had to catch a bus. Old Mr. Zhao was seeing them off. As they were about to leave, Meng Yunhan reminded Old Mr. Zhao to take good care of himself.
There was a sense of reluctant parting in Old Mr. Zhao’s eyes. The house, once devoid of warmth, finally felt lively with the presence of his daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. But now, they were leaving.
“You all just rest assured, I’ll take good care of myself. You too should take care of yourselves,” Old Mr. Zhao waved to them.
After watching their bus leave, Old Mr. Zhao trudged back to his recycling shop, his back hunched slightly more than usual.
Lin Weiyi, sitting by the window of the vehicle, watched until Old Mr. Zhao was out of sight. Then she turned to Yun Hao, who was holding their child, and said, “When we leave later, let’s take Dad with us.”
Because the next time they would leave would be after the Lunar New Year, and by that time she would be going to school; she intended to take Old Mr. Zhao to Kyoto with her.
Yun Hao had no objections. After enduring so many lonely years, Old Mr. Zhao had finally breathed some life into his home, and now they were leaving all too abruptly.
“All right,” Yun Hao agreed readily.
The Magic City Troops.
“Lu Camp, when will the commander return?” Upon hearing that the commander had awakened, they were overjoyed. But even after half a month had passed, they had yet to see him return. They decided to ask Lu Jianjun.
Lu Jianjun himself wanted to know when the commander would return. Since getting the news from the political commissar that his sister-in-law had made a phone call, no further communication had come in. He had begun to feel like it was all a dream.
The commander hadn’t woken up at all – the political commissar had deceived him.
Otherwise, how could the commander, with his stubborn personality, still have not returned to the unit after so long?
They had all been wounded on missions before, but they had always continued to execute their tasks despite their injuries.
This time, however, the commander had not sent a single message.
Lu Jianjun, who was unfamiliar with the condition of vegetative state patients and their subsequent recovery process, thought the commander’s awakening was nothing more than a dream.
“I wish someone could give me a definite answer,” Lu Jianjun sighed deeply, lying on the training field, looking up at the sun. The dazzling light assaulted his eyes, but it also helped settle his mind.
Seeing Lu Jianjun’s state, no one continued their questions. But a doubt arose in their hearts: Was the commander really awake and not departed from them?
Some young soldiers already idolized Yun Hao.
Their idol had fallen, leaving their hearts filled with concern and worry.
“The commander is back, the commander is back, the commander is back.” A thrilled voice echoed across the training field.
Lu Jianjun sprang to his feet and looked towards where the voice had come from. “What did you say?”
“Deputy Commander, I saw the commander, I saw the commander, he’s really back, he’s really back. I came to tell you, but I have to go back to my post, I’ll go first.” Wang Xiaojun said excitedly, then disappeared in a flash, leaving the others stunned by his words.
“Big Wang, did you hear clearly what Xiaowang just said?”
Wang Xiaojun had a twin brother named Wang Xiaobin. In the unit, for the sake of simplicity, they were often referred to by their nicknames. The elder brother was known as Big Wang, and Wang Xiaojun was Xiaowang.
“He said the commander is back, the commander is back, it must be true, my brother would never lie, the commander really is back, really back, Deputy Commander, the commander is back, the commander is back.” Wang Xiaobin, knowing that the commander had once saved the deputy commander and having witnessed it with his own eyes, could understand the self-blaming mentality of the deputy commander.
