A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

At that moment, only two words remained in Song Wenyuan's mind: It's over!

He knew his wife and daughters weren't doing well back in their hometown, but he never expected that their purpose in coming to the island was to divorce him.

He foolishly thought the other person had been wronged at home, which was why they had to come to him in advance.

If he didn't know about this, that would be one thing, but now that he does, how can he reveal his identity to the other party?

No!

He absolutely could not reveal his identity until his wife and daughter had developed a certain level of affection for him.

Even after his leave ends, he can't go back to his unit!

Song Wenyuan began to consider the possibility of applying to work on the cleanup tasks at the port.

His gunshot wound to the shoulder was quite serious; in peacetime, he would have at least three months of leave.

Even after his vacation ends, he still won't be able to conduct regular training. It shouldn't be a problem for him to switch to logistics during this period, right?

He had no confidence that he could win his wife back within three months.

Song Wenyuan forced himself to sound more normal: "Does the child's father know about this?"

Anning replied, "He hasn't been home for six years. He probably doesn't have any feelings for this marriage anymore. Whether he knows or not makes no difference."

Song Wenyuan tried to defend himself: "In recent years, our country's surrounding areas have been unstable. In recent years, in order to prevent the United States from invading our border countries, we have sent many soldiers to the south. Even after we have driven back the United States, the country has not let its guard down, but has continued to provide them with assistance."

However, the monkeys in the south are insatiable. Instead of being grateful to us, they turned on us after recovering their losses and have been constantly clashing with us on the border.

The island is on the front line, and he is serving here, so it's normal that he can't go home for several years.

Many of my friends who served in the military haven't been home for at least two years.

Chen Hai's words left An Ning somewhat confused. Just moments ago, she had sensed a certain ambiguity in their relationship, but now he was speaking up for Song Wenyuan.

She was genuinely confused about Chen Hai's thoughts at this moment.

Was she wrong all along?

Does the other person really only see her as a good friend?

It's said that there's no such thing as pure friendship between men and women, but is Chen Hai really just an exception?

Thinking of this, An Ning looked at Chen Hai with a complicated expression, but his words did not shake her resolve to get a divorce.

“I do not deny that he is a national hero, but his absence over the years has caused my child and me a lot of undeserved suffering.”

"Perhaps he also wants to get involved? But he can't because of his duty as a soldier."

An Ning said lightly, "Since he wasn't there for us when things were most difficult, there's no need for him to be there in the future. I got through the toughest times raising the child alone, and now that things are better, what's the point of having him?"

An Ning's words were like a sharp knife, deeply piercing Song Wenyuan's heart.

He had no idea what his wife and daughter had gone through to become like this.

He clearly sent money home every month, and his parents took good care of his wife. Several letters from home said that they were doing very well.

Even if things aren't as described in the letter, his wife has her own salary, so it's impossible for her to be living too badly.

But now...

Song Wenyuan could no longer think about it.

He said self-deprecatingly, "Yeah, I was absent when things were toughest at home, what's the point of showing up now that things are better?"

Anning was about to answer, but as the movie was nearing its end, the little girl finally realized that the two adults next to her were gone. She started looking around, her expression clearly showing some anxiety.

"Let's go back first, Nier noticed we're gone."

"it is good."

Song Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

If this conversation continues, he really doesn't know how he'll face his wife and daughter.

Speaking of which, the procedures for sending someone to his hometown to accompany him in military service should be completed by now, right?

If all else fails, he'll go there himself. He wants to see what exactly happened at home while he was away!

"Mommy's here!" Anning patted the child's head from the other side. "It's a bit stuffy in the theater, let Mommy go to the door for some fresh air. Let's continue watching!"

"Ah."

The little girl agreed readily, but held onto Anning's hand tightly, so Anning simply pulled her into her arms.

The child's birthday is in April, and he will be six years old soon after the new year, but due to long-term malnutrition, he still looks very small.

Fortunately, I gained some weight in the past month, so I shouldn't look too bad in the future.

"Little Eighth Route Army Soldier" is only about forty minutes long and ends very quickly.

The little girl was reluctant to leave the story in the movie: "Mommy, is Daddy fighting the Japanese devils like Tiger in the movie?"

"more or less."

An Ning didn't know what Song Wenyuan's mission was, but she didn't intend to smear Song Wenyuan in front of the children.

She thought for a moment and said, "Driving the Japanese away wasn't the achievement of just one or two people. You see in the movies, some people were responsible for gathering intelligence, some for cutting off food supplies, some for setting traps, and some for luring the enemy in. People in different positions had different tasks. I don't know exactly what my father did, but I'm sure he was protecting our country."

These words pleased Song Wenyuan, who was standing nearby.

He was very grateful that his wife did not deliberately lead the children to distance themselves from him because of her prejudice against him.

But it was precisely because of An Ning's attitude that he felt even more guilty.

Song Wenyuan strained his ears, eager to hear his daughter's opinion of him.

However, the little girl just said "oh" and didn't comment again.

Song Wenyuan took the child's other hand and couldn't help but ask, "Little girl, don't you like it when Daddy fights the Japanese and defends the country?"

I like it a little, but I don't like it a little.

The child has a very limited vocabulary, and she has difficulty expressing her thoughts. After saying this somewhat contradictory sentence, she didn't know how to continue.

Song Wenyuan guided her to ask, "Why do you like it and yet dislike it?"

The little girl puffed out her cheeks and said, "Mom says Dad is a hero. He protects our country and keeps us from living in danger. That's why I like him."

"What if you don't like it?"

“My dad protected so many people, but he didn’t protect me and my mom. That’s why I don’t like him.”

Growing up, few adults would ask her so many questions about her father. Shen Changle got a little annoyed and simply broke free from her mother's hand, grabbing Uncle Chen's leg.

"Uncle, why don't you be my dad?"
