Yan Yan looked up at Xu Sui in front of her, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.

"Mom, do you want me to draw you a picture, or do you want to check if I'm sick, like Dad?"

Xu Sui was slightly taken aback, caught off guard by the child's very straightforward words, and hadn't even had time to react.

After she calmed down, she squatted down, looked directly into her son's eyes, suppressed the complex emotions in her heart, and pursed her lips.

"Yan Yan, why would you think that?"

"Mom, I'm fine. I don't think I'm sick. You and Dad don't need to worry about me. If you don't have time, just spend more time with my little sister," Yan Yan said calmly.

Xu Sui was startled, her face turned pale, and she could hardly believe that these words came from the mouth of a child who was not even six years old.

She quickly reached out and hugged her son tightly.

"Yan Yan, how about this? From now on, Mom and Dad will try to spend more time with you and your sister."

Yan Yan seemed a little uncomfortable with Xu Sui's hug, and her whole body was awkward.

He struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free, so he gave up and said in a very serious tone:

"Mom, you and Dad don't need to come with me. I can manage on my own."

He always knew that his parents were very busy with work. He used to look forward to it, but he stopped looking forward to it.

He now prefers to paint alone in a corner.

However, he knew his sister was looking forward to it, so his parents could go and keep his sister company instead of him.

He can really do it all by himself.

Xu Sui still felt that something was wrong with her child. She panicked and instinctively hugged her son tightly in her arms.

"Yan Yan, you and Yao Yao are both Mom and Dad's children. In Mom and Dad's eyes, you are the same. Mom and Dad will spend time with Yao Yao, and of course, we will spend time with you too."

"How about this, this weekend, Mom and Dad will take you and your sister out to play when we have some free time, okay? You can decide where you want to go, and Mom and Dad will be there too."

When she was studying at university in Beijing, she would have winter and summer vacations, and occasionally she could go home to spend time with her children. At that time, both children were very attached to her.

However, after returning to the military, she devoted herself to her work and indeed spent less time with her children.

Sometimes, by the time she finishes her work and gets home, both children are already asleep, and when she goes to work the next morning, they are still asleep.

Qin Yunzhou wasn't much better off; he was also very busy with work and sometimes didn't get home until late at night.

He was also unable to spend time with his two children.

So the two children in the family are mostly cared for by the old lady.

Yao Yao is fine; she's naturally lively. But Yan Yan has always been quiet and reserved, and doesn't seem to like being close to the old lady.

……

He left his son's room and went back to the back of the house.

Qin Yunzhou could clearly sense that Xu Sui's emotions were a bit off, and he immediately knew that something must have happened, so he hurriedly asked:

"What happened?"

"Tell me, and we'll solve it together."

Xu Sui's heart was in turmoil, filled with mixed feelings.

She turned and threw herself into Qin Yunzhou's arms, hugging his strong waist, pressing her face tightly against his chest, and mumbled as she recounted what had just happened.

After hearing everything, Qin Yunzhou remained silent for a long time. He reached out and gently patted the person in his arms, holding them tighter, and whispered:

"Now that I've climbed to this position, I basically don't need to go on missions anymore. From now on, I'll try to go home as early as possible to spend time with the two kids, and also to spend time with you."

In the past, every time he went on a mission, it would last for about ten days to half a month, and sometimes even several months.

But not anymore. Now that he's in a position, he basically only needs to stay at the military base. It's just that he'll be very busy.

In fact, the position of political commissar involves managing everything, big and small, including discipline, conduct, and sometimes even the family affairs of subordinates. They also have to act as matchmakers, taking charge of the major life events of their subordinates.

It is common for family members from the residential compound to go to his office and make a scene over trivial matters, asking him, as their leader, to intervene on their behalf.

Qin Yunzhou pondered for a while, wondering if he should change jobs, find one that wasn't so tedious, and make it easier to take care of his family.

But now, each position is strictly controlled, and if no one moves, there's basically no room for movement.

It seems I still need to work harder and climb higher. Once I reach a certain position, I won't have to deal with these trivial matters anymore.

……

Xu Sui arrived at the factory early in the morning.

After finishing most of the work, it was almost time to leave work.

She then called Xu Chaosheng over and asked him to take his two foreign friends out for a walk and a chat in the afternoon.

Xu Chaosheng keenly noticed that Xu Sui's complexion was not good, as if she hadn't rested well last night, or as if she had something on her mind.

He looked at the dark circles under the woman's eyes.

"Factory manager, is something wrong at home?"

"You can tell me, maybe I have a solution."

She was perfectly fine when she came home last night, but something seemed off when she returned this morning. It looks like something must have happened at home.

However, he remembered the man she married. Wasn't he very capable? He'd heard he was some kind of high-ranking officer in the military.

If that man is so capable, why can't he even handle some things at home?

Is it that he doesn't want to solve it, or he's too lazy to solve it, or... is it that he's incompetent?

Xu Sui was sitting at her desk, working on a large order she had just completed, but there were still many things waiting for her to handle.

In addition, she also had to make time to take her child to see a doctor in the afternoon, so she was extremely busy and started to feel overwhelmed.

Suddenly, I heard someone say that.

Xu Sui subconsciously looked up at the young man in front of her. He looked vaguely familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

She smiled politely and courteously. "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night."

"Go ahead and get busy."

This person seems to come from a good family, as he has different clothes every day. In addition, he is tall and handsome with refined features, making him very dashing, somewhat similar to Qin Yunzhou's style.

He always attracted the attention of many young female colleagues in the factory, and some of them even came to his office to see him.

"Factory manager, you seem to have something on your mind. Why don't you tell me?"

Xu Chaosheng did not leave the office immediately. His gaze fell on Xu Sui's slightly pale face and lingered for a moment.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Factory Director, Political Commissar Qin is here to pick you up."
