Chapter 277 Leaving (1)
Since Heizi left, the usually chattering twins have become very quiet these past few days.
Su Jinru and Yuan Wenjie felt sorry for their two children, but they were helpless.
Yuan Wenjie: "Heizi is smart and loyal. It left quietly because it was afraid of hurting us. But we couldn't bear to see it leave in silence. We shouldn't have taken the two children with us that day."
Su Jinru: "They'll probably feel better in a few days. Children will experience these kinds of life-and-death situations sooner or later. They're already ten years old, so they can definitely handle it. Sadness is unavoidable; it's something everyone has to go through as they grow up."
Yuan Wenjie: "When I was ten years old, I experienced something even worse than them. I lost my parents and younger siblings at the same time. The desolation of being all alone and helpless..."
This was the first time Su Jinru had heard Yuan Wenjie talk about his childhood trauma.
She took his hand.
"That's why you hate war, you hate invaders, and you choose to be a soldier with an iron will."
Yuan Wenjie: "I hope the children won't be traumatized by this."
Su Jinru: "Although all parents hope that their children will have a peaceful and smooth life, no one's life is perfect. There will always be regrets in life. Let them be sad!"
To make their younger siblings happy, Anxin and Anran took them out to play every day.
Chasing the waves! Collecting fish and shrimp with buckets! Digging for crabs!
Anxin also encouraged them to express their longing for Kuroko's basketball through drawing and keeping a diary.
The two children had drawn many pictures of Kuroko before.
This time, he silently drew many more.
There are paintings of Kuroko and the others frolicking in the fields, paintings of Kuroko accompanying them on walks by the sea, and many other scenes of daily life.
In short, the black motif is the finishing touch in many scenes of their family life.
An Xin looked at the two children's drawings with great interest.
She was surprised to find that Ruochen's paintings were exceptionally lifelike; everyone he depicted was vivid and lifelike.
Painting landscapes allows one to use colors to bring out the beauty of the scenery.
Ruoxi, on the other hand, excels in her writing. Her diary entries are characterized by their delicate emotions, precise expression, and vivid word choice.
When she writes about people, she can vividly portray their image with just a few strokes. When she writes about objects or scenery, the scene seems to appear before the reader's eyes like a painting.
An Xin sighed.
"Ruochen, you will definitely become a top-notch painter in the future."
"Ruoxi, your writing skills are beyond my comprehension, even as a reporter."
Su Jinru had long since discovered the special talents of her two children, but she only felt that they were slightly better than the average child, not as amazing as An Xin described. After all, they were only ten years old, and An Xin's words were just to comfort her younger siblings.
Yuan Wenjie's handover procedures have been completed.
The former company commander, Niu, is now a regimental commander. After Yuan Wenjie left Qiongzhou Island, Regimental Commander Niu took over Yuan Wenjie's previous work.
Li Jianguo, who has been Yuan Wenjie's bodyguard for many years, is now a deputy regimental commander. From now on, he will work in coordination with Regimental Commander Niu.
Yuan Wenjie said, "Qiongzhou Island's only drawback is its distance from the mainland and inconvenient transportation. Everything else is an advantage. It has unique geographical conditions and climate, as well as the experience we have accumulated over the years. These farmlands, facilities, fishing boats, salt fields... are all profitable, and we hand over a lot of grain and funds to the country every year. Now that it's in your hands, you mustn't mess it up."
Regiment Commander Niu: "Don't worry, Commander Yuan, I will never let you down."
Li Jianguo: "Don't worry, Commander Yuan! I will do my best to assist Regiment Commander Niu in managing Qiongzhou Island well."
Yuan Wenjie has been transferred to the Northern Military Region, and his family will soon leave Qiongzhou Island to settle down in Beijing.
After getting married, Li Jianguo quickly had three children. His wife worked in the kitchen of a canteen, so Li Jianguo brought his parents to Qiongzhou Island to help take care of the children.
The house they used to live in only had three rooms, which was too cramped for the whole family.
Yuan Wenjie planned that after they left, Li Jianguo would come and stay in the house where they lived. The house was big enough to accommodate their whole family.
Su Jinru's house not only has many rooms, but also a large yard where vegetables and flowers are grown year-round. In particular, the two huge rose bushes at the entrance are the envy of everyone on the island.
There are also fruit trees in front of and behind the houses, which are laden with fruit during the ripening season.
In short, Su Jinru made the house very comfortable and beautiful.
Yuan Wenjie specially gave the house to Li Jianguo to live in. On the one hand, as a bodyguard over the years, Yuan Wenjie had a deep relationship with him and was also grateful for his loyalty and dedication to his work over the years.
Before leaving, Su Jinru treated the Niu Regiment Commander's family, Li Jianguo's family, and several other people she was close to to a meal.
They then invited Su Jinru's family to dinner.
When the day of departure arrived, Su Jinru instructed the children to pack their belongings and prepare to take them with them.
Moving is a huge undertaking, involving moving a whole house and a multitude of belongings, big and small. Even beggars carry three loads and three bundles when moving! Let alone a large family of six.
An Xin said worriedly, "How are we going to move all this stuff? The journey is so far! We can't take this much stuff on the plane! It would be a shame to lose it."
Su Jinru: "You each only need to bring a few valuables. I have a way to bring the rest to the capital and check them in!"
An Xin: "Even if it's checked baggage, it still has to be sent to the post office!"
"You don't need to worry about that. Don't worry! None of your things will be lost. I can guarantee that they will be safely delivered to the capital."
Yuan Wenjie naturally knew that Su Jinru had a spatial dimension, which could store all these things inside.
He took the children and left first, while Su Jinru left last.
Before leaving home, Su Jinru put all the large items she had packed into her spatial storage.
She locked the door, slung her large bag over her shoulder, and carried her small bag as she went out.
Everyone came to the dock to see them off.
Many people were talking to Yuan Wenjie, and everyone felt heavy-hearted.
They all knew that if it weren't for Commander Yuan, Qiongzhou Island would never be what it is today.
Following Commander Yuan, they were not only able to eat their fill, but also to have meat. Even their wives and children were able to come here, live and work in peace and contentment, with wives having jobs and wages, and children being able to go to school.
They were naturally grateful to Commander Yuan for his kindness, and now that he was leaving, they were filled with reluctance.
