Chapter 168 Agree

Shen Zishan chimed in, "That's right, son! Your mother is absolutely right! A real man should have lofty aspirations. It's good to go out and see the world and gain experience!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Leng Feng standing to the side, rubbed his hands together, and asked somewhat nervously, "Captain Leng, could you let me see your officer's ID? That way we'd feel more at ease, wouldn't we?"

Leng Feng smiled slightly, nodded readily, and reached into his pocket to take out his military officer's ID card, handing it to Shen Zishan.

Shen Zishan carefully took the document and examined it closely with wide eyes. Although he did not have the professional knowledge to distinguish between genuine and fake military officer ID cards, he still looked at it with great care, as if he wanted to deeply imprint every word and every detail into his mind.

After a while, Shen Zishan still couldn't figure it out, but out of politeness, he returned the documents to Leng Feng with both hands and thanked him repeatedly.

Just then, Shen Xiaoxiao's figure appeared at the door.

It turned out that she had just returned and happened to overhear the conversation outside.

She quickly went into the house and went to Shen Xiaochuan's side to comfort him, saying, "Brother, don't hesitate any longer! I'll take care of things at home, so just go and pursue your dreams!"

Shen Xiaochuan frowned slightly, his eyes flickering as he pondered various possibilities and consequences.

After a fierce internal struggle, he took a deep breath, as if finally making a decision, and slowly said, "Dad, Mom, and little sister, I...I'll go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zishan stepped forward, extended his broad and warm hand, and gently patted Shen Xiaochuan's shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement and support.

"Son, now that you've made up your mind, go for it bravely! Your parents believe you can achieve great things."

No matter what difficulties you encounter, our family will always be your strongest support. Mom and Dad will always be waiting for your safe return!

Encouraged by his father's affirmation, Shen Xiaochuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He nodded vigorously, then turned to face Leng Feng and asked with a determined look, "Captain Leng, I'll go! When do we depart?"

After a moment's thought, Leng Feng replied, "I still need to take care of some things in town, which will probably take about two days. So, we can set off the day after tomorrow morning."

At this moment, Ma Aning, who was standing to the side, became anxious when she heard that there were only three days left to prepare, and quickly asked.

"Captain Leng, should we prepare anything for Xiao Chuan during these three days? Like daily necessities or a change of clothes?"

Leng Feng waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about these things. The military will distribute them all. As for his household registration, it will be transferred to the military along with him."

"But before that, you need to go to the brigade leader first and get him a certificate for transferring his household registration, and also write a letter of introduction for use on the way."

Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood Leng Feng's arrangements, and listened attentively to the following precautions.

“Since everything is settled, I’ll be going now. I’ll come to pick you up from your house the day after tomorrow,” Leng Feng said to Shen Xiaochuan.

Seeing that Leng Feng was about to leave, Ma Aning quickly reached out and grabbed him, saying warmly, "Oh dear, it's almost noon! Please don't rush off. Have a simple meal at our house!"

Leng Feng hurriedly waved his hand and politely declined, saying, "Auntie, there's really no need to trouble yourself. I'll just go to town and find a place to eat somewhere."

Hearing this, Shen Zishan, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and said, "Captain Leng, although we don't have any fancy dishes, we only have some simple home-cooked meals. Please don't mind! Why don't you stay here for a meal before you leave?"

Faced with such a warm invitation, Leng Feng couldn't refuse and had no choice but to nod in agreement: "Alright then, I'll accept your kind offer and apologize for bothering you all."

And so, the cold wind lingered, and they enjoyed a simple yet heartwarming lunch together.

After finishing his meal in a hurry, Leng Feng got up and headed back to town.

After Leng Feng's figure completely disappeared, Shen Xiaoxiao turned to her brother Shen Xiaochuan, looking puzzled, and asked, "Brother, why didn't you agree to such a good opportunity just now? Was there something you were worried about?"

Shen Xiaochuan lowered his head slightly, sighed softly, and replied, "Actually, I don't have any particular concerns. It's just that I really can't bear to leave this home."

In his previous life, Shen Xiaochuan did not have a happy life. Although he later joined the army, what he longed for most in his heart was the family affection that he had never had.

Now that he has been given a second chance at life and has loving parents and a younger sister, he naturally cherishes this warmth, which is why he is somewhat hesitant about leaving home.
