Zhang family.

Zhang Anping, standing at the door, temporarily suppressed all the distracting thoughts in his mind. Faced with the familiarity that was hard to fade away in his memory, he was a little... timid.

The word "coward" is actually associated with the famous Zhang Shihao. It is really mysterious.

The ancients said that the closer you are to your hometown, the more you yearn for it.

Zhang Anping, upon learning that he was going to be a father again, felt extremely complicated. His family was undoubtedly very supportive of him. After he left Chongqing, they had never let family matters affect him. He even waited until his second child was born to prepare for the birth of his second child...

While I was thinking about this, the door creaked open. A little boy who looked to be about six years old was about to run out with money in his hand. When he saw Zhang Anping, he took a step back in fear:
"who are you?"

The little boy looked at the stranger at the door warily.

Zhang Anping looked at the little boy and vaguely saw a familiar shadow. He was a little confused and didn't know who the little boy was.

"Wangwang, don't go, I'll go buy it!"

Just as I was wondering, Zeng Moyi's voice came, and then Zeng Moyi, who was wearing a cheongsam, trotted out. After seeing the figure at the door, she couldn't help but say:
"Anping!"

The little boy didn't understand what was going on. He stepped forward, grabbed Zeng Moyi's hand, and shouted, "Mom."

Zhang Anping was confused.

ha?
I've been away for a year and a half, and now I have an extra child of five or six years old?!

The legendary... becoming a father?

No, that's not the way to be a father!

Zeng Moyi saw Zhang Anping's confused expression, and the smile in her eyes became more and more. She pulled Zhang Anping in, closed the door and said to the little boy:

"Wangwang, call daddy."

The little boy looked at Zhang Anping timidly but didn't dare to call him by that name.

Maybe it was because of the noise outside that Xixi, who was already three years old, came running over, calling for her brother and her mother. When she saw the stranger at the door, she asked with a puzzled look on her face:

"Uncle, who are you looking for?"

Zhang Anping looked at the two children, one big and one small, who didn't recognize him, and gradually began to guess. He smiled and said:
"Wangwang, Xixi, call daddy!"

As he spoke, he tried to hold both children in his arms, but Xixi pulled Wangwang and ran away. The little guy looked alert and said seriously:
"You're not Dad."

When Zhang Anping met the chief aide-de-camp, he put away his disguise. Although he used his real appearance, he deliberately acted much older. In Xiao Xixi's memory, her father was very young.

Zhang Anping burst into laughter when he heard this, and tried to hug the two little guys again, but the little guys were very alert and pulled their older brother and ran away, shouting:
"Grandma, someone is pretending to be Dad and trying to trick me!"

Zeng Moyi looked at the scene of the father and son not recognizing each other, with a warm face. After watching the two little guys run away, she reached out and grabbed Zhang Anping's hand, holding it tightly, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you ask who Wangwang is?"

Zhang Anping smiled, reached out and touched his wife's cheek. Seeing Zeng Moyi blushing, he smiled and said:
"Is it that little guy?"

Zeng Moyi nodded: "Yes. I went to the hospital frequently during that period. Mom saw how often I went, so she went a few times for me."

"She was kind-hearted. Seeing how pitiful the little guy was, she let me bring him back. I just happened to follow your idea of ​​naming him, and named him Wangwang. His full name is Zhang Wang."

The little guy was the poor child who was once used as a cover by the Japanese spy couple. In order to gain sympathy, the inhumane Japanese soldiers tortured the little guy with cruel means. When Zhang Anping cracked the enemy, the little guy was already dying - the hateful thing was that the Japanese soldiers even claimed that the little guy was injured in the Japanese air raid.

It was Zheng Yi who sent the other person to the hospital. According to Zhang Anping's idea, the little guy should be sent to an orphanage after he recovered from his injuries. However, Zeng Moyi had been taking care of the little guy, so she was naturally reluctant to send him away, so she used some tricks to let her mother-in-law see the little guy.

Wang Chunlian was soft-hearted. Seeing how pitiful the little guy was and hearing about his experience, she became even more indignant and decided to adopt him as her grandson.

"Very good." Zhang Anping didn't think it was wrong.

Seeing her husband like this, Zeng Moyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that her husband would be unhappy.

At this time, hurried footsteps were heard, and the next second, Wang Chunlian appeared with two little guys. After seeing the "uncle" mentioned by her grandson, Wang Chunlian was surprised at first, then she frowned and turned into a yin and yang master:
"Oh, who was that? It turns out to be Commander Zhang. I am so honored to have you here!"

Zeng Moyi laughed secretly, and Zhang Anping said helplessly:

"Mom, please give me some face."

"Face, huh! Wishful thinking!" Wang Chunlian snorted angrily at first, but when she saw her son's helpless look, and then looked at how old he was, her heartache drove away her forced indifference. She walked over and touched Zhang Anping's face, and her expression gradually warmed up:
"You bastard, it's only been over a year and you've aged so much, you... you..."

Wang Chunlian felt so distressed that she couldn't help but complain: "Your uncle is such a jerk. He uses you as much as he can when he gets his hands on you, right?"

The two little guys looked at each other and whispered, "Is it really Daddy?"

He had a rough life and suffered a lot after being bought by Japanese agents. Therefore, he had a very deep impression of the person who rescued him. Even though time and the help from his grandparents, mother and brother healed his inner trauma, he could never forget the figure who rescued him from hell.

So he kept using the name "Dad" familiarly, waiting to meet that person one day and happily call him Dad.

Xixi said naively:

"It seems so, but... Dad is obviously very young."

The two little guys huddled together, pondering why their father was so old. It was not until Zhang Anping explained to his mother that he was wearing makeup and was pulled by his mother's ears to "remove his makeup" and reappeared that the two little guys matched the person in front of them with the one in their memory.

"Dad? It's really Dad, brother, look, it's really Dad!"

Xixi excitedly showed off to his brother, but the little guy didn't dare to come forward, because when Zhang Anping quietly left and Xixi cried for his dad, his grandmother told him:
Because you were disobedient, your father left. When you are obedient, your father will come back.

Although young Xixi didn't remember much, this sentence has always been in his heart. Now that he sees his father again, he is excited, but he is also worried:
I'm still not very obedient. Will dad leave again?

At this time, Wangwang was too timid to step forward when facing Zhang Anping who had been wanting to call him dad. He had no choice but to walk aside holding hands with Xixi, watching his grandmother scolding him angrily and turning back into a young father, and whispered to his brother:

"What if Dad doesn't like me?"

Xixi was excited because her brother's words resonated with her. She said to her brother anxiously and worriedly:
"I'm still not very obedient now, and my father doesn't like me. What should I do?"

The two little guys felt that they were in the same boat, so they hugged each other pitifully and began to worry sadly.

Zhang Anping, who was being taught a lesson by his mother while being pulled by the ear, was so amused by the two little guys that he couldn't help but giggle. Wang Chunlian, who only had her son but no grandson in her eyes, didn't notice the little movements of her two precious grandsons at all. Seeing her son giggling, she felt as if she had returned to Zhang Anping's childhood. She loosened her hand that was pulling his ear and spat:
"You are so grown up, but you are so unruly!"

Zhang Anping could no longer hold back, and ran to his two sons, embraced them with both hands, and held them in his arms, kissing them on the left and right, and then pretended to be fierce and said:
"Call Dad!"

Xixi smiled and hugged Zhang Anping's neck, shouting crisply:
"father!"

"Hey - Wangwang, it's your turn!"

Xiao Wangwang looked at Zhang Anping and said timidly:

"Dad, Dad."

"My dear son, hahaha..." Zhang Anping laughed and walked around the yard with the two little guys in his arms. Little Xixi's past memories quickly awakened, and he hugged Zhang Anping's neck and laughed. Little Wangwang was a little timid at first, but under the influence of Zhang Anping and his brother, he bravely hugged Zhang Anping's neck. The two brothers, one on each side, soon started to giggle.

After a period of crazy play, there was no longer any barrier between the two brothers and Zhang Anping, and they began to act as Zhang Anping's little tails. The speed of their betrayal was so fast that Wang Chunlian was stunned, so she used her ultimate weapon and asked the two little brats to choose between grandma and dad.

When Xixi saw this choice, he immediately ran over and acted coquettishly to his grandmother. After hugging his grandmother's arm and shaking it twice, his grandmother's heart melted. Then he ran happily to Zhang Anping and proudly showed off to his father that he had taken care of his grandmother.

Wangwang sat down next to his grandmother and whispered, "Dad is grandma's son. Grandma shouldn't be jealous of Dad. My brother and I will play with Dad for a while, and we will be with grandma later."

"Grandma's little darling, you are so good at talking. Go ahead and play with your dad. Grandma is not angry."

Wang Chunlian was so coaxed that she couldn't stop smiling, and completely forgot how jealous she was just now.

……

In the evening, after Zhang Guanfu got off work, he heard laughter from home from afar. He immediately realized that it was his son who made him so proud.

Zhang Anping used the name Zhang Shihao. Only the old men in the Military Control Commission knew that Zhang Shihao was his son. Most people did not know that this good old man was actually Commander Zhang's biological father, so many people would not avoid talking about Zhang Shihao.

As a traditional Chinese parent, what he likes most is to listen to others talk about his son - that feeling of pride makes Zhang Guanfu extremely "self-satisfied".

Listening to the laughter at home and the sound of his son putting aside his airs and teasing the children in the yard, the smile on Zhang Guanfu's face grew wider and wider. After staying outside for a long time, he walked towards the gate, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

When he walked in and caught a glimpse of his son and grandchildren, he nodded for the first time: "Are you back?"

"I'm back," Zhang Anping laughed secretly, put the two followers behind him, and went to meet his "hypocritical" father. He tried to take the briefcase, but Zhang Guanfu was cautious and refused to give it to him because there were confidential things in the briefcase. Zhang Anping laughed:

"Dad, why are you carrying me on your back? My classified clearance level is much higher than yours."

Zhang Guanfu deliberately frowned, but Zhang Anping didn't buy it at all. He half took and half snatched the briefcase from his father's hand and wanted to help his father but Zhang Guanfu slapped his hand away. He chuckled twice and walked with his father to the living room. Two little brats came in at this time, surrounded Zhang Guanfu and called him "Grandpa" all the time. Zhang Guanfu, who had deliberately frowned, was so angry that his face burst into tears.

Zhang Anping was not jealous either, and said with a smile: "Good fellow, my family status is now better than that of a dog."

Zhang Guanfu frowned, not liking his son's words.

Zhang Anping laughed. The old man was really hypocritical. He was not happy when he was belittled like this.

Unfortunately, given the old man's personality, he can forget about this kind of intimacy.

……

In the evening, a family of six sat together for dinner.

The two little kids who usually love to make noises, one sitting straighter than the other, as if they always do this, Wang Chunlian then exposes their "disguise":
"Xixi, why don't you let your grandfather feed you?"

"Wangwang, why aren't you picky about food anymore?"

The two little guys immediately got angry and hurriedly tried to defend themselves:
"I stopped letting grandpa feed me a long time ago."

"I've stopped being picky about food!"

While Wangwang was explaining, I deliberately picked up a bunch of cilantro, which I usually dislike eating, and pretended that I particularly liked it.

The whole family laughed at this scene. Zhang Anping hugged little Wangwang and said, "It's okay. If you don't like it, don't eat it. Some people just don't like coriander. Dad doesn't like it either."

"Really?"

“More gold than real gold.”

Little Wangwang said in embarrassment: "But I, I still like to eat it."

"Dad, Dad, I like coriander, too."

Little Xixi did not forget to show off his presence, and forced himself to act like he did not want to be hugged by his father. Zhang Anping laughed, and took the little guy in one hand, and said proudly:

"With two sons in hand, the world is mine!"

Zhang Guanfu glared at Zhang Anping but said nothing. He was also very happy in his heart. His son did not reject Xiao Wangwang and even liked him, which made him very happy.

The warm dinner lasted a long time. After the meal, the two little guys hid in Zhang Anping's arms for a long time and were unwilling to take a walk, until Wang Chunlian threatened: "If you don't take a walk, Dad will definitely not like you anymore."

After saying this, the two little guys suddenly became anxious and started their after-dinner walk hand in hand.

The whole family burst into laughter again.

After a while of chatting and laughing, Wang Chunlian asked with concern:
"When will we leave after the New Year?"

There is still a little more than a month to the Chinese New Year, and Wang Chunlian thought that her son would go back after the Chinese New Year like he did last time.

Zhang Anping paused and said, "I have military duties this time, so I will leave in a few days."

Wang Chunlian was immediately unhappy: "Dai Chunfeng is treating you like a mule, right? Is there any law?"

As she said that, she rolled up her sleeves and said, "No, I'm going to go and argue with him. Hey, you're just trying to kill my son!"

Zhang Guanfu frowned: "What do women know?"

Since he was in the Military Intelligence Bureau, he naturally knew how much Dai Chunfeng valued Zhang Anping, and he also knew that Dai Chunfeng regarded Zhang Anping as his successor, but he never told his family about the strengths and weaknesses of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

"Zhang Guanfu, what did you say?!" Wang Chunlian looked at Zhang Guanfu angrily like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Zhang Guanfu knew that he could not afford to offend his wife, so he picked up his teacup and "ran away". After returning to his study, he sighed and lamented about his son's desperate efforts. In the Military Control Commission, one could only see and hear the news of Commander Zhang's great victories, another great victory, and another great victory, but why would anyone care about "Commander Zhang's" efforts?

He thought of the fatigue his son sometimes unconsciously showed during their casual chat today, and he sighed inwardly again.

The two little guys were worried about their grandfather, so they quietly slipped into the study. Each of them hugged their grandfather's arm familiarly and started to act cute.

Zhang Guanfu burst into laughter and picked up his two precious children to tease them. However, he was still thinking about his sons, so while joking, he said:
"You guys, don't ever eat the government's food again."

"This meal doesn't taste good!"

Outside the house, Zhang Anping happened to stroll over. After hearing his father's "instructions" to the two little guys, he showed an indescribable expression.

This meal is not tasty.

but……

If no one does some things, will there be a bright future?
If no one does something, do it still have a future?

(Happy New Year, gentlemen! I wish you all great wealth and all your wishes come true in the new year!) (End of this chapter)
