To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Zhiyuan only had three days off, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, he flew back to the capital.

Wu Ruiheng was different.

He has a 20-day leave to visit his family at the end of the year. He has already spent some days at his home in the capital. He will spend the rest of his days taking care of his family.

He's not idle at home; his days are quite fulfilling.

Under Gu Juncheng's command, he painted the house, tended the vegetable garden, tidied the garden, and cooked three meals a day. In addition, he followed Gu Juncheng to do morning exercises before dawn every day. Later, when Gu Juncheng led a team on a field training exercise, he also invited him to join.

In short, after staying at the Gu family's house for more than ten days, you didn't say a single word to Zhangzhu.

Finally, Wu Ruiheng had no choice but to return and bid farewell to Gu Juncheng.

"What is it?" Gu Juncheng's expression was not good.

"Reporting." Wu Ruiheng saluted. "Uncle Gu, my vacation is over, I have to go back."

"Okay." Gu Juncheng nodded and said to Lin Qingping, "Buy him a ticket. Should he go home first, or go straight back to the army?"

Wu Ruiheng saluted again. "Reporting. Go straight back to the unit. There's no time to go home. I'll buy my own ticket. Thank you, Uncle Gu."

After saying that, he saluted Lin Qingping again, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days, Aunt Lin."

Lin Qingping felt ashamed upon hearing this. How had she taken care of him? Old Gu had only been making things difficult for him! Speaking of which, this child is so honest. Why didn't you go home a day earlier? I don't know how Mei Li and Wu Tianping, who are both cunning, could have such an honest child.

After Wu Ruiheng finished speaking, he looked towards Zhangzhu's room, his eyes showing reluctance.

Gu Juncheng did not respond.

Wu Ruiheng finally mustered up his courage and said, "Uncle Gu, may I...may I go and say goodbye to Zhangzhu?"

Gu Juncheng and Lin Qingping are definitely parents who dote on their child. If Zhangzhu doesn't want to talk to him, they will never force her. Moreover, given the extent of Gu Juncheng's mischief, they would have to find a way to excuse their precious daughter. But Zhangzhu came out on her own.

"Zhangzhu!" Wu Ruiheng's eyes lit up when he saw her.

"You'd better hurry up and leave, or you'll miss your flight." Thinking about how he'd been so busy at home for the past ten days, Zhangzhu thought he was incredibly foolish and couldn't help but tease him, "Will you come again next time?"

Zhangzhu thought to herself, "Only a fool would come!"

Unexpectedly, Wu Ruiheng's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously, "Come on! I'll come again next time I'm on vacation!"

Pearl in the palm: ...

Even Zhangzhu didn't understand. She asked him, "Is my dad really that good to you? And you still come here? Haven't you been tormented enough?"

Wu Ruiheng grinned, "Of course! Uncle Gu is like my dad to me!"

Zhangzhu was utterly dumbfounded. "Aren't you... tired?"

"Not tired at all! Not tired at all! I'm very happy!" Wu Ruiheng's eyes crinkled with laughter.

Zhangzhu: ...Alright, you'd better hurry up and catch your flight!

"Uncle Gu, Aunt Lin, Zhangzhu, I'm off now! Goodbye!" Wu Ruiheng skipped out.

The family of three thought he was gone and looked at each other in bewilderment. They couldn't understand how he could be happy when he couldn't even exchange a word with his daughter.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside, "Zhangzhu, I had a very happy New Year! I'm so happy to see you every day!"

Gu Juncheng/Lin Qingping: ...

Who said this kid is stupid?

That evening, Zhiyuan called back, and Lin Qingping told him about Wu Ruiheng's return.

Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh, "How can this kid be so stupid?"

Lin Qingping said to him, "Do you think he's really stupid? He's right about something: why does your dad only order him around and not order anyone else around?"

Zhiyuan was taken aback. "Could it be that you've really taken a liking to this kid? Are you giving him a test?"

"It's not exactly an investigation, but your father really has this intention. Otherwise, why would he order people around?" Lin Qingping said. "Your father is reluctant to part with Zhangzhu, but does he really intend to keep her from getting married for the rest of his life? Sooner or later, that day will come. After looking around, your father is really only satisfied with Wu Ruiheng."

Of course, he wasn't satisfied either, and he secretly cursed the silly boy countless times...
