Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 847 - 4: Extra Story 4

Luo Zhiyong had no choice but to go into the school and watch from outside the window. He saw the little one was still crying, and even the teacher couldn't comfort her. He wanted to go into the classroom to console her himself, but the teacher standing outside stopped him.

The teacher smiled and advised, "This parent, it's common for kids to cry on their first day at school. Don't worry too much. They'll stop crying after a while. In fact, if they see you, they'll probably start crying and fussing again. You go about your business and just come to pick them up in the afternoon."

Hearing what the teacher said, Luo Zhiyong didn't insist and turned to leave.

Still, no matter what, he couldn't put his mind at ease.

Later, as he passed by a place Yaoyao mentioned where they sell snow cones, Luo Zhiyong thought about it, decided to go there, bought a thermos, and then packed some snow cones to send to the school.

Avoiding the teachers so they wouldn't see him, Luo Zhiyong went to the window to look at his little ones.

He saw that Haohao and Ruirui had already stopped crying, sitting in their seats and playing with the other kids. Yaoyao had also stopped crying but stubbornly refused to play with the other children, sitting alone in the back of the classroom. The teacher, likely having never seen such a stubborn child, simply let her stay there for the time being.

Seeing this situation, Luo Zhiyong felt even more heartache. He gently tapped on the window to catch Yaoyao's attention.

As soon as Yaoyao saw Luo Zhiyong, she pouted and was about to cry again. Luo Zhiyong shushed her, gesturing for her not to make a sound and to come to the window.

When Yaoyao walked to the window, Luo Zhiyong immediately handed her the thermos and coaxed her, "My dear daughter, here are the snow cones you wanted. Daddy bought them for you. You just sit in the back and eat, and by the time you're done, it'll be almost time for dismissal. Grandma and Grandpa will come to pick you up. Understand?"

"Un...derstood." Yaoyao sobbed as she answered, then hugged Luo Zhiyong's thermos, opened it to look inside, saw her favorite snow cones, her mood improved, and she stopped crying. Instead, she sensibly let go of Luo Zhiyong's hand and said softly, "Daddy, you should go to work. Don't be late or you'll be late."

Seeing how sensible the little one was, Luo Zhiyong's heart melted into a puddle. If it weren't for the fear of being scolded by Fang Pingying when he got back, he would have wanted to take the child home immediately. This so-called school was just a torment. You have to know, their Yaoyao had probably never cried so miserably before.

Seeing that it was indeed getting late, Luo Zhiyong had to turn around and head to work.

However, about less than half an hour after he drove to the office, a call came into the office. It was from the kindergarten teacher, saying that Yaoyao had eaten too many snow cones and wet her pants, and asked him to quickly send some pants over.

There was no way around it; Luo Zhiyong couldn't leave. He had to call Li Yuchun and the others to quickly deliver the pants.

When he returned home that day, Fang Pingying naturally knew all about it. She pulled Luo Zhiyong into the room to scold him, "What's wrong with you? I asked you to send the kids to school, and you bought them snow cones early in the morning. I had to pick the kids up early today and got a good lecture from the teacher about how parents make trouble for the teacher."

Luo Zhiyong realized he might have overdone it and didn't argue with Fang Pingying, but he helplessly said to her, "You don't know, Yaoyao cried so heartbreakingly when she went to school. I wished I could bring her back at that time. It broke my heart."

Fang Pingying knew how much Luo Zhiyong spoiled their daughter, so she wasn't surprised at his reaction, just gave him a glance and smiled to herself.

Seeing Fang Pingying didn't say anything, Luo Zhiyong added, "Well, if you think I didn't do well, you can take them to school tomorrow. I won't do it. I just can't bear to hear her cry like that."

Thinking about this big man, who had seen everything in the military, a tough guy through and through, who risked his life with every mission, never even raising an eyebrow over bloodshed. But come to his daughter's situation, and he looks so distressed.

Fang Pingying smiled and said, "Just a bit of weakness. She's just starting kindergarten, and you can't bear it. What will you do when she gets married in the future?"

When Luo Zhiyong heard this, it really seemed like someone was trying to take his daughter away, and he immediately shouted, "My daughter won't get married. When the time comes, I'll bring a son-in-law to her."

"Hmm, do you think you have the final say in this?" Fang Pingying couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention, her words hitting him right in the heart, "Maybe she'll meet the right person and go far away with them. You'll be lucky to see her once a year or even longer."

Hearing this, Luo Zhiyong immediately looked reluctant, "I won't allow it."

This was just a joke for Fang Pingying, but unexpectedly it came true later.

Yaoyao was independent and opinionated from a young age, with the best grades among her siblings as she grew. So, when she went to college, she was admitted to a famous military school in Beijing.

Actually, in Fang Pingying's opinion, she was not keen on her daughter joining the military. Having lived with Luo Zhiyong for so many years, she knew how tough military life was. Getting up before dawn every day to train because a soldier needed a strong body to defend the country; and then, when anything happened, soldiers were always on the front line. Speaking of vacations, although there was an annual family leave, it still was less than an ordinary person's holiday.

If military life was already tough for a man, how could a girl endure it?

Fang Pingying's initial plan was for her daughter to grow up peacefully, go through college smoothly, have her thoughts and opinions, and not become a man's parasite, then get married and have children at the right age. She didn't want her to be too strong like herself and suffer throughout life.

But Yaoyao, with her stubborn nature, although spoiled by Luo Zhiyong since childhood, admired her father extremely. She aspired from a young age to be a soldier, so much so that she applied to military schools secretly when she went to college, deliberately going far from home just to avoid parental influence.

By the time Yaoyao and her siblings grew up, Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong's positions had dramatically changed.

Luo Zhiyong had been in the military for so long that he had already been promoted by then. He held a significant position in the military, and in their place at the time, he could be considered very influential.

And Fang Pingying was even more so, her business thriving to the extent it wasn't an exaggeration to say she was the richest person in the provincial city at the time. She had countless acquaintances.

Yaoyao didn't want to rely on her parents. She wanted to make her way in the world, so she specifically went to Beijing.

Naturally, from then on, she left her parents' side and went to Beijing for school alone. Even though Luo Zhiyong couldn't bear it, he couldn't delay his daughter's future either.
