The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 298 - 296: The Careless Father

Ling Chengyan ate the noodles and went to the Ling Family, which was just across the street.

Both elder brothers had joined the automobile team and happened to be out with their cars, so Ling Chengyan only saw Father Ling, her sister-in-law, and the children.

Father Ling’s health had improved significantly. When Ling Chengyan entered the door, he was already dressed neatly, preparing to go out, wanting to welcome his daughter.

They hadn’t seen each other for over half a year, and the old man had been yearning. As soon as he saw his daughter, his eyes turned red.

"Dad," Ling Chengyan called out.

Before the sound fell, she knelt in front of her father.

"Daughter is back, sorry for worrying you."

Father Ling hurriedly reached out to pull his daughter up from the ground, grasped her hands while checking her up and down to confirm that she was returned whole and unharmed. He kept saying, "It’s good you’re back, it’s good you’re back."

While speaking, he couldn’t hold back, turned his head, and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.

He felt guilty towards his daughter.

He had left her alone for more than ten years.

The family was finally reunited, yet his daughter went off to the battlefield...

For this half-year, he hasn’t slept well, often awakened by nightmares, dreaming that his daughter was injured on the battlefield, lost her life, covered in blood...

Almost every weekend, he would invite his grandchildren over, letting his daughter-in-law cook tasty meals for the children and make cotton clothes and shoes.

Seeing the little ones made him miss the older one even more; his heart was constantly tight.

When alone, he often laughed at himself, thinking that in old age, his heart had grown softer and smaller. In his youth, he had experiences too, having seen death and blood, corpses sprawled everywhere. Yet he could fall asleep at will and eat heartily, unlike now.

Sometimes, he thought, she truly was his daughter Ling Zhankui’s, with a temperament and courage like his!

Ling Chengyan helped Father Ling sit down, feeling the empty sleeves of his coat and furrowing her brow.

When her father was seriously ill, he was frighteningly thin, but after surgery, with several months of recuperation, he had gradually regained some weight. Now, "Why so thin again?"

Yet Ling Chengyan didn’t ask, she planned in her heart to settle for a few days and then take her father to the provincial city for a check-up.

When the surgery was initially done, the professor had advised a check-up every half year. She left in a hurry and wasn’t sure if her elder brothers had taken her father there.

"I’m fine, really, it’s good that you’re back." Father Ling laughed and patted his daughter’s hand while starting to inquire about her situation.

Ling Chengyan selected what she could say and shared some things, shifting the topic to their special training platoon. She had taken out twenty soldiers, none were left behind, and she brought them all back whole.

Father Ling laughed heartily, patting his knee and exclaiming, "Good! Good! Like father, like daughter!"

After sitting at the Ling Family for a while, Wang Liansheng arrived with the children, and they had lunch at the Ling Family.

In the afternoon, the elder brothers, sister-in-laws, and second sister-in-law arrived.

The second sister-in-law, upon seeing Ling Chengyan, first grabbed her hand and cried, but after wiping away her tears, she was only filled with joy.

The person returned safely, and from now on, everything will be good!

They bought a big goose and two Yellow River carp; the elder brothers and Wang Liansheng took charge of cooking, letting the sisters-in-law chat while the cooking was left to them.

Ling Chengyan chatted with the second sister-in-law for a while and then went out together to pick up the two little ones: Shi Tou and Xiao Qibai.

Shi Tou was in the senior class, and after the summer he would start elementary school, entering the first grade.

Xiao Qibai had just started nursery at the daycare center at an organization one street over, thanks to the influence of Wang Liansheng.

They didn’t hurry back, but leisurely strolled with the children back home, intending to hold one each, yet the two little ones were getting along well, especially Xiao Qibai, who was very attached to Shi Tou. He didn’t let his mom hold or carry him, and he ran after Shi Tou, breathlessly chasing after him, shouting, "Brother, wait for me! Brother, wait for me!"

Shi Tou helplessly stopped, furrowing his little brow as he waited for his little brother: seeing him transform into a little tail that couldn’t be shaken off.

Dad says it will be better when the little brother grows up. But he is so tiny, when will he grow up? It’s worrying!

When everyone got home, there were more than ten people, young and old, male and female, crowding the living room. Adults talked, children scrambled, the small courtyard was bustling with activity.

Sister-in-law Liu Caixia, Sister-in-law Lin, and others came after work. Seeing a house full of people, they didn’t sit long, said a few words, and left.

The entire Wang Family had a joyous reunion meal, which served as a welcome for Ling Chengyan.

It was from second sister-in-law Zheng Xiaotian’s mouth that Ling Chengyan learned about Wang Lianhua and Wang Lianxiang. As for the incident where Wang Liansheng returned home and was troubled by Zhou Xiuying, Zheng Xiaotian didn’t care to mention it. The fourth younger sister-in-law had just returned from the battlefield, so such disappointing matters were left unsaid for now.

Zheng Xiaotian even felt ashamed for the second branch of the Wang Family, embarrassed!

For the children’s cotton clothes, cotton pants, and cotton shoes, the elder sister-in-law, elder sister, second sister-in-law, and two sisters-in-law from the Ling Family took care of everything, meaning Ling Chengyan didn’t have to worry about them. Even the outerwear was prepared properly by the second sister-in-law, making the children look neat and tidy.

However, come night time, Xiao Xing and Shi Tou clung to her side, wanting to sleep in the same bed. Once their outer cotton clothes and pants were removed, the undershirts and pants couldn’t be looked at. The children were at the age of rapid growth, especially Xiao Xing, who had grown seven to eight centimeters in the past half-year. Their undershirts and pants weren’t torn but were too short, exposing wrists and ankles.

In winter, the cold wind penetrated the cotton sleeves and pants legs. Without the protection of the undershirts and pants, both children’s wrists and ankles were chapped by the wind, turning red.

Shi Tou got into bed and started scratching with his little hands, making Ling Chengyan feel heartache, and she glared at the just-entered Wang Liansheng.

This father, so careless!

Wang Liansheng, being suddenly glared at, was somewhat puzzled, hesitated, and then laughed first.

He found that after his wife returned from the frontline, she wasn’t as distant as she was before.

He hurriedly moved closer to ask, "What’s wrong?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Ling Chengyan held Shi Tou’s hand, coaxing her son not to scratch, and hearing Wang Liansheng ask, she turned back to glare at him again, "Look for yourself."

Wang Liansheng glanced at them and was startled, quickly turning to the medicine box to find an ointment for chapping, explaining while doing so, "I was attentive during cold weather. When I brought them back, I often felt their little hands to check if they were warm or cold. I honestly hadn’t noticed..."

He said that, but felt he couldn’t continue, growing quiet.

Once both children fell asleep, Ling Chengyan sent Xiao Xing back to her room with Xiao Yu, and Shi Tou slept on the small bed beside her.

Wang Liansheng put down his book, lifted the blanket, "Let’s sleep, you’ve been on the bus all morning, and busy all day, you must be tired."
