Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

141. Come back

Yuan Wenjie immediately added, "It's alright, I'll take you to buy it in a few days."

"These clothes are for your relatives' children."

Seeing the two children staring blankly at Yuan Wenjie, Su Jinru anxiously reminded them.

"What's wrong with you two? Have you forgotten that this is Uncle Yuan? Why don't you greet him?"

An Xin stammered, "Yuan... Dad!" Her voice was as weak as a mosquito's buzz.

Yuan Wenjie looked at Su Jinru in shock, then at An Xin.

Then, he asked An Xin with surprise, "An Xin, what's your name? What did you call me just now?"

An Xin looked at her mother, and encouraged by her, she called out loudly again, "Dad!"

Yuan Wenjie was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands together.

"Great, great! I have a daughter now! I've always wanted a daughter, and I never thought I'd get such a grown-up one for free."

Seeing Yuan Wenjie so excited, An Xin was also very happy.

Previously, she felt ashamed whenever her classmates mentioned her father.

She felt ashamed to have such a father.

He abandoned his wife and children for that woman, and was even caught in that shameful act.

In order to provide them with a more unequal environment for learning, their mother brought them to the county town.

Here, the mother and her two children live a life free from want, but there is no male head of the household, and the mother is always the subject of gossip and criticism.

They are also under a lot of pressure.

The mother endured even more for her two children.

She also hopes that her mother can meet someone who loves, cherishes, and protects her.

So when Mom said that there was a man named JFJ who was willing to be their nominal father and Mom's nominal husband in order to protect them, she was convinced that this man was a reliable person.

So for the past three years, whenever a classmate asked about her father, she would proudly say, "My father is a soldier."

The students didn't doubt her words at all.

They cast envious glances at her.

So gradually, An Xin began to regard him as her father.

Her father was a soldier, a strong and upright man, a responsible and dependable person.

For the past three years, she has been able to proudly show everything about herself to her classmates. She loves to sing, dance, and talk.

The feelings of inferiority and depression I had when I was at Daben Village Primary School have completely disappeared.

An Ran wanted to call out, but no matter how he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter a sound.

Yuan Wenjie noticed his predicament and embarrassment, and smiled as he stepped forward to pat An Ran on the shoulder.

"Young man, I remember you're only fourteen! If I didn't know better, I'd think you were seventeen or eighteen. I'd estimate you're about 1.75 meters tall!"

An Xin said with a smile, "Dad is amazing. He really is 1.75 meters tall. We just measured him yesterday."

Su Jinru noticed that Hei Zi had been wagging his tail and shaking his head at Yuan Wenjie the whole time, looking very happy.

“Yuan Wenjie, that’s really strange. It’s the first time Hei Zi has met you. Why did it let you in? And it even wagged its tail at you.”

An Xin said, "What's so strange about that! When my maternal grandparents, my uncle, and my second aunt first came to visit us, Hei Zi welcomed them without saying a word, wagging its tail. But as for other people, like our neighbors who we see every day, as soon as they get close to our door, Hei Zi will bare its fangs and be fierce to them. Without our family's permission, they can forget about stepping into our house."

Yuan Wenjie patted Hei Zi's head.

"Military dogs are very intelligent! They can not only smell different people, but also different human species."

"For example, once a foreign spy infiltrated our unit, and our military dogs recognized him."

Anran's eyes lit up when military dogs were mentioned.

So, military dogs can distinguish between good and bad people?

"It's not as simple as saying good or bad people. On the surface, their skin, eyes, and hair may look the same, but you can tell they're not the same kind of people just by their smell. After all, their lifestyles and living environments are very different, resulting in different smells."

“You said your grandparents came, and Hei Zi didn’t swore at them. That means you’re family, and you must have the same scent on you. Of course, most people can’t smell that scent, but a very smart dog can.”

"That's what makes military dogs special."

Seeing that it was almost time, Su Jinru said to her son, "Anran, go to my workplace and ask for leave for me. I'm not going to work today."

"No need to ask for leave, you don't need to attend this class anymore."

“I’ve been thinking about this issue these past few days. I’m thinking of resigning and transferring my and my two children’s household registration to my hometown, Daben Village, so that Anran won’t have to go to the countryside.”

"Going to the countryside? Isn't Anran only fourteen years old? Why is she going to the countryside?"

Su Jinru sighed and told them that the neighborhood committee had come to tell them that Anran had to go to the countryside.

"I'm sorry I'm late, and I've caused you so much trouble."

"But don't worry, now that I'm here, no one will dare to force An Ran to go to that desolate place to do labor."

An Xin jumped up with joy.

“That’s great. Brother doesn’t need to make himself sick anymore. Brother doesn’t need to go to that remote place anymore.”

An Ran looked much more relieved.

Su Jinru, however, remained skeptical.

This movement will last for ten years. He won't make another promise and then disappear for another three or five years. If anything happens then, she won't see him at all.

Yuan Wenjie keenly noticed Su Jinru's expression.

"Su Jinru, don't you believe me?"

"I believe in you, but you also have your own things to do. I don't know when we'll see each other again, or even in a few years."

"This time, I will not leave you again. I promised to protect you, and I cannot break my promise. I have come here to take you all away."

"Take them away, where to?"

“You are my family members, so naturally you will accompany me to the military. Wherever I go, you will go too.”

An Xin asked happily, "Are we going to a very far place?"

"It's far away and desolate, but absolutely safe. No one will dare to force you to do anything you don't want to do."

An Ran asked curiously, "What kind of place is that?"

"I can't say now, you'll find out in time."

Hearing Yuan Wenjie say this, Su Jinru was somewhat tempted.

Being by his side gives me a strange sense of security.

Moreover, leaving this place of trouble is something she has been thinking about for the past few days.

I originally planned to go back to Daben Village, but Daben Village is not a pure land either.

If you accompany a soldier to the military, you'll be surrounded by soldiers and their families. The military is all about training, and there's no messy stuff like that, so the environment will be relatively clean and pure.
