After resting briefly at home, Nie Qian went to pick up Li Tian.

Instead of staying at home and overthinking, you might as well go out for a walk.

With many things going on lately, Li Tian has become a true "little cotton-padded jacket" (a term of endearment for a daughter) to make her grandparents feel at ease.

You can only receive more love in return if you give enough love to others.

It's all about putting yourself in someone else's shoes.

"Grandma, is Uncle feeling any better?"

"The doctor said the condition is relatively stable."

"My uncle is a lucky man, he'll be alright."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your kind words, Tian Tian."

"Grandma, I'll go back to Beijing after my eldest uncle is discharged from the hospital. It's too tiring for you to stay here and take care of him."

Nie Qian squeezed Li Tian's small hand.

"Missing home?"

Li Tian smiled sweetly.

"I miss home a little, but I feel even more sorry for my grandma."

Nie Qian felt a warmth in her heart.

"Your grandma raised you so well, it's only right that you miss her."

"Children are young and should be loved, but they should also gradually understand the hardships and complexities of life."

"Your aunt herself is not very broad-minded and not very kind. She also failed to raise her two children well, which led to this bitter outcome."

Li Tian deeply agrees.

"Grandma, these things must have been a huge blow to Uncle. Should we find him a different job?"

With his family in this state, it will most likely affect Ji Ping's career.

"Your eldest uncle even said he wanted to go to the Laoshan front after his divorce."

Li Tian knew that the border was not peaceful and minor frictions continued.

"He's just recovered from serious injuries; can he fight?"

Nie Qian gave a wry smile; it would probably take him a year or two to fully recover.

I'm afraid that someone so big won't be able to be persuaded.

Li Tian rolled her eyes.

"One of my dad's childhood friends went to the special economic zone because he thought it had great potential for development."

"However, living conditions there must be quite poor now."

Nie Qian then started to think.

"I was originally planning to wait until he recovered enough to go and support the Third Front construction, but after hearing what you said, the south seems like a better option."

Just go with the flow.

When a country wants to develop a particular area, it will naturally provide preferential policies and various forms of support to that area.

"My dad and the others all say there's a lot of potential there."

"Even Uncle Chen Hao, who was by my grandfather's side, transferred to the customs office in the south."

Li Tian sees herself as an information conveyor.

Sometimes, a little reminder can make a big difference.

Moreover, if they're not one of our own, no one will say a word.

Nie Qian smiled and patted Li Tian on the shoulder.

"I'll discuss it with your grandfather."

The earlier the construction phase, the more people can be trained, and the more opportunities they have to stand out.

Shanghai is naturally a good city; it's a big city that everyone aspires to live in.

But the relationships here are so complex that making progress is really difficult.

Having gotten rid of the huge burden of the Chu family, Ji Ping can now start afresh with a lighter load, and I believe he will be willing to do so.

Li Tian had just mentioned that she was going back when Nie Qian received a call from Ye Zhao that evening.

The two sisters could chat endlessly once they started.

Nie Qian recounted everything that had happened at home, especially the parts involving Li Tian.

There's no point in hiding it; it's better to just tell the truth yourself.

"Xiaoqian, you're so busy, let me go and bring Tiantian back."

"Did you and your granddaughter plan this together? Tian Tian just said she wanted to go home during the day."

Ye Zhao laughed heartily.

"It's all out of consideration for you. Once Ji Ping is discharged from the hospital, we'll definitely bring him to your side to take care of him."

Nie Qian sighed.

"How can parents ignore their child when they encounter such a major misfortune?"

"It's all the same. My Silin went through all of that too. Divorce is a devastating experience for anyone."

"That's right. Even though the child doesn't say it, he must be feeling terrible inside. Every cloud has a silver lining; this injury might actually lessen his pain."

......

They talked back and forth, and Li Tian was getting impatient waiting on the sidelines.

"Tian Tian can hardly sit still anymore, why don't you two, grandmother and granddaughter, talk to each other?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tian took the microphone.

Grandma, I miss you so much.

"Sweetie, Grandma misses you too."

"How are Grandpa and the others?"

"All is well. Your grandfather and Zilong are craning their necks to listen to me."

Since she could hear him, Li Tian started shouting at the top of her lungs.

"Grandpa, brother, I miss you so much too."

The voices of an old man and a child soon came through the microphone.

"Tian Tian, ​​shall I come pick you up?"

Don't you know what kind of legs and feet you have?

It seems the old man really misses her.

"Grandpa, I want to kidnap my female master."

"If we can persuade her, she can escort me home; you won't need to come and pick me up."

Li Tian chuckled; she had another little plan.

All you need is a person.

Li Shengli immediately made the decision.

"I'll go talk to your grandfather."

"Okay, you go find my grandfather, and I'll go coax my master. If we, grandfather and grandson, work together, we can definitely handle it."

Li Shengli looked smug; besides the food and supplies, his granddaughter was even bringing people home.

"Absolutely."

Nie Qian nudged Li Tian from the side.

You ungrateful wretch!

Does this mean she doesn't exist?

"Okay, my grandma's a little jealous. I'll go and coax her. I'll hang up now."

Li Tian hung up the phone and immediately put her arm around Nie Qian.

"Grandma, what do you think about having my master become my stepmother?"

Nie Qian stared blankly at Li Tian; she had never thought of that before.

but......

seem.......

is a good choice.

"You're just a kid, yet you're so nosy. Do you think your dad will listen to you?"

"Grandma, just tell me if it's appropriate or not?"

"Kong Man is cheerful and generous, without any ulterior motives, but people change depending on the circumstances..."

Even stepmothers who are biological aunts can abuse their stepsons.

Human nature is truly unpredictable.

Li Tian understood what he was saying.

"Being a good person is the foundation; the rest depends on how you get along with others."

"As for whether they're willing or not, how will we know if we don't try to match them up? We have to give it a shot."

Nie Qian smiled and nudged Li Tian.

"You little rascal."

Whether you can persuade your master depends on your own abilities.

"Okay."

When the training ended the next day, on her way home, Li Tian began to devise her strategy.

"Master, do you want to go back to live in the North?"

"I'll go back to my hometown after I'm discharged from the military; I want to guard Niangziguan Pass."

Li Tian shook her head.

"Niangziguan is a good place, but in peacetime, you don't need to guard it."

Kong Man naturally knew this, but she was too lazy to think about what would happen next.

"I don't know what I'll do in the future, I'll just wait for the organization to assign me."

"How about coming back to Beijing with me? When it's time for you to retire, Grandpa can help you choose a job you like."

Kong Man pouted at Li Tian.

"You're just a kid, you don't understand. Someone like me who's single can only go back to my hometown."

Li Tian smiled, pursing her lips.

"Then find someone in the capital. If you haven't met the right person here, maybe try somewhere else. When the time is right, he'll come to you."

Kong Man pinched Li Tian's cheek.

"Stop talking so much, aren't you ashamed!"
