Meng Yan's Transformation

Zhan Yu's chest felt like it was being weighed down by a heavy stone, and the aggrieved, terrified looks of his children and wife flashed through his mind repeatedly. He realized that his harsh and irritable personality had neglected his family and communication, and that some of his actions had deeply hurt his children and wife. He wanted to rush over and hug his son, daughter, and wife and apologize to them.

"Zhan Yu, I told you beforehand that the child was wrong about what he said. You can't lose your temper, okay?"

As Yunqing spoke, she looked at Zhan Yu's expression and couldn't guess what Zhan Yu was thinking, and felt a little panicked.

"Dad, I was wrong. Don't be angry or sad! Those were things from our childhood. When we were little, we were ignorant and only knew how to be naughty and make trouble, causing trouble for Dad. That's why Dad got angry. We are grown up now, and we all know that Dad works very hard to earn money to support the family. This time when you went to petition, we all missed you very much. You wrote to say you would come back soon, and we were very happy. We really want Dad to come home soon. I'm sorry, Dad. I shouldn't have made you angry as soon as you came home. I'm sorry..."

Zhan Mengyan's mouth was like a machine gun, she kept saying "I'm sorry", tears welling up in her eyes.

"My dear daughter, there's no need to say sorry. If I must, it's Dad who's saying it. Dad ignored your feelings in the past. When I lost my temper, I didn't care about anything, I ignored your panic and fear. Dad will pay attention and try to lose his temper less often in the future. If Dad can't control his emotions and loses his temper sometimes, I hope you don't be afraid. We are a loving family. Let's put the past behind us. I hope you don't hold a grudge against me. Once Dad completes the procedures for returning to the city, our lives will get better and better. Come! Let's talk about something happy. Yesterday, I got drunk and brought back gifts for each of you. I haven't shown them to you yet."

As Zhan Yu spoke, he patted Zhan Mengyan's shoulder and picked up his travel bag.

When Zhan Zixun and Zhan Mengyan heard that there were gifts for them, their eyes lit up with excitement.

Zhan Mengyan burst into laughter and said, "Dad, we won't hold a grudge against you, not at all..."

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, her eyes were fixed on the travel bag in Zhan Yu's hand, with an expression of curiosity and a little nervousness, as if she had really seen the legendary Pandora's Box.

It was a light green travel bag, lying quietly before everyone, like a silent old man, revealing the vicissitudes of time—the bag had lost its original luster, the handles on both sides were worn white, and the zipper had lost two teeth, appearing a little dull...

"Zhan Yu, you haven't eaten yet. It's not too late to show it to the child after dinner!"

While Yunqing was speaking, she washed the chopsticks that had fallen on the ground with water and put them back on the dining table.

"I'm full. I don't want to eat anymore. Yunqing, why do you always spoil my fun? Look at the children's eyes longing for gifts. How can you bear it?"

While Zhan Yu was speaking, he ignored Yun Qing and opened his travel bag directly.

Zhan Yu took out things from his travel bag one by one as if they were his treasures.

"This scarf is for Zhan Yingying, this vest is for Yunqing, this pair of socks is for Zixun, and these pairs of socks are for Ziyou's wife and granddaughter..."

Zhan Yu was counting intently when Zhan Yingying, who was rehearsing the yangge for the New Year in the village, suddenly rushed in from outside.

"What are you dividing? Why are you dividing it before I even show up?"

When Zhan Yingying spoke, there was a hint of anger on her face. Her eyebrows and eyes, outlined by powder, were more lively, and the pink rosy cheeks made her more pretty and charming. She was wearing a red silk costume with green sleeves, and she danced gently like a flying rosy glow.
