Jiang Chengzhou pouted, his reaction not that strong.

Grandpa Zhuang isn't family; he only gets sad and scared when his uncle and aunt abandon him.

Seeing that he was not tempted by these things, Political Commissar Zhuang began to appeal to his emotions.

"Your grandfather misses you terribly. His health isn't good, and he just wants to keep you by his side..."

Hearing this, Su Lang finally couldn't hold back anymore, "Political Commissar Zhuang, it was me who forbade Chengzhou from going back, why are you asking him?"

Old Master Jiang is pitiful. If Jiang Chengzhou doesn't agree, it will be his act of being unfilial.

Political Commissar Zhuang shook his head and sighed, telling Su Lang to find a quiet place to talk.

The three arrived at Jiang Chengzhou's new room.

Political Commissar Zhuang sized him up.

The room was spacious, with a large bed, a desk and chair set suitable for a child's height, and a vase on the windowsill filled with wildflowers.

It's warm and comfortable; you can tell it was made with care.

There was no one else there except Su Lang and Jiang Chengzhou. Political Commissar Zhuang shared some of his innermost thoughts.

"Su Lang, I believe you and Comrade Lin treat Chengzhou very well and genuinely love this child, but have you considered his future development?"

Su Lang: "Of course I've thought about it. Whether he wants to join the army or do something else in the future, I will support him."

Commissar Zhuang has the typical patriarchal mindset and doesn't quite approve of Su Lang's permissive upbringing.

"Su Lang, the resources in the capital are definitely incomparable to those on the island. If Chengzhou doesn't go back, then the Jiang family's resources will all be tilted towards his half-brother. He's happy to be with you now, but what about later?"

"If their circumstances become vastly different in the future, how can you face Chengzhou and your eldest sister?"

Su Lang's voice was low: "The Jiang family is very good, and my Su family is not lacking in anything either..."

Political Commissar Zhuang: "You have two older brothers and four nephews and nieces. Do you think your parents would agree to give resources to Chengzhou? Even if they did, would your brothers and sisters-in-law agree?"

Su Lang said, "I'm still here. The older generation is getting old. I won't be the regimental commander for the rest of my life."

He spoke these words with a calm expression, his eyes revealing both ambition and determination.

Political Commissar Zhuang also believed this, as he was at a higher level and had more contact with people.

Su Lang is highly capable and has made outstanding military achievements. Although he is currently only a regimental commander, he has already been recognized by several commanders.

He's still too young, but if he makes a few more contributions, climbing the ranks won't be difficult.

"Su Lang," Political Commissar Zhuang sighed, "you're married now, and you'll have children in the future..."

Su Lang knew what was going on and saw no need to prove his loyalty to outsiders. He glanced at his nephew, who was listening intently, and suddenly asked, "Chengzhou, Grandpa Zhuang makes a good point. How about I send you back to the Jiang family?"

Political Commissar Zhuang looked relieved, feeling that he had finally convinced everyone.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Jiang Chengzhou pouted and ran out of the room.

Political Commissar Zhuang urged Su Lang anxiously, "The child has run away! Go after him!"

Su Lang chuckled and slowly walked out.

In the courtyard, everyone was eating oysters, chatting and laughing.

Jiang Chengzhou ran out of the house, crying loudly upstairs, complaining, "Auntie, come down and save me! Uncle is going to kick me out again!"

Everyone was unaware of what had happened and rushed to comfort him.

Lin Zhilan walked to the second-floor terrace, her brow furrowed slightly: "Su Lang? Why are you deliberately trying to upset the child again?"

The beauty was angry, and Su Lang didn't dare to delay. He quickly comforted his nephew, "Chengzhou, I didn't chase you away. It was your Grandpa Zhuang who told me to chase you away."

Political Commissar Zhuang, who had chased after them, stumbled and stammered, "I..."

"Chengzhou," Lin Zhilan tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ear, "Let your uncle help you wipe your face, change your clothes and come upstairs. Your aunt will tell you and your sister a story."

Jiang Chengzhou stopped crying, but he still couldn't stop hiccuping. He listened to his aunt and went to wash his hands, face, and change his clothes.

After escorting him upstairs, Su Lang came downstairs again, looking at everyone with a teasing expression, "Since you're all here today, you'd better help me clarify things when we get out, lest people outside think my wife is beating the kids at home again."

Everyone present, except for Commander Qin and Political Commissar Zhuang, burst into laughter.

Jiang Chengzhou went upstairs to where Lin Zhilan had been standing and called down over the railing, "Uncle, if Grandpa Zhuang is going to kick me out again, you're not allowed to bring him back as a guest next time."

Political Commissar Zhuang choked abruptly. Su Lang poured him water, and Division Commander Qin chuckled softly, "Serves you right for meddling in other people's business!"

Political Commissar Zhuang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Never mind, never mind."

As darkness fell, everyone devoured the oysters, their bellies bulging.

Su Lang took a small bottle of pills from the house and tossed it into Bai Yang's hand. "Take one each. Your sister-in-law made these for Cheng Zhou to help with digestion."

Bai Yang chuckled. "Commander, do you still have the blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine your sister-in-law gave you last time?"

Su Lang laughed and said, "Your sister-in-law has to take care of the child, so she doesn't have time to make medicine, and she can't even buy the medicinal materials."

Division Commander Qin interjected, "What medicine?"

Su Lang's eyes flashed, "Comrade Lin's homemade ointment."

Bai Yang, ever the quick-witted one, enthusiastically promoted his sister-in-law's medicine: "Commander, this medicine is amazing! I injured my leg a few days ago during training, and it swelled up into a huge lump. After applying this medicine, it was completely healed overnight."

Commander Qin: "Even better than the medicine in the hospital?"

Bai Yang: "That's for sure."

Division Commander Qin and Political Commissar Zhuang both looked at Su Lang.

Su Lang smiled and said, "Comrade Lin comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and has first-class medical skills. He only suffers from not having a diploma. Otherwise, it would be easy for him to get into our military hospital."

Commander Qin didn't understand his implication; his focus was now entirely on the ointment.

But it's too late now, so I can't ask too many questions.

Come to my office tomorrow afternoon.

"yes!"

In conclusion, everyone came today with high spirits and left with high spirits.

Su Lang tidied up the house again before taking a shower and going upstairs.

The three people upstairs had already drifted off into a sweet dream.

Jiang Chengzhou leaned against the wall, one foot sticking out of the blanket.

Lin Zhilan and her daughter Linlin were in the same position, lying flat on their backs, sleeping neatly and formally.

Su Lang smiled, not wanting to disturb his wife.

Fine, I'll let her off this one night.

Fortunately, the bed is big enough that four people can lie down comfortably.

Su Lang quietly lifted the blanket and lay down on the outermost side of the bed.

In a half-dreaming, half-awake state, Lin Zhilan suddenly turned over and hugged him.

Su Lang's heart skipped a beat, and he gently kissed her forehead.

The sea breeze was a bit strong tonight, rustling the leaves outside, but the room was warm and cozy.

On the first day after moving, the family of four fell into a deep sleep on the same bed, perhaps having the same sweet dream.

……

Most soldiers are action-oriented.

The next day, Commander Qin took the ointment he had obtained from Su Lang to the military hospital.

This is a military hospital, and its most famous and specialized department is surgery.
