Chapter 1740: Chapter 1145: The Way Unfolds (Part 2)

"Right!" Chuxia nodded, "Big brother, don’t worry. Since you’ve told me everything, if I fall for their tricks again, I’d really be a fool."

"Just now, when I was outside, Ye Meiru came over. I gave her a few sharp words, and she left..." Frowning, Zhao Qiliang said, "She said she has something to discuss with the Division Commander, not sure if that’s true."

"Zhou Mikang said she’s different from before. Although she still looks for him, it’s all business-related, and she hasn’t brought up past matters... Let’s just believe that she’s truly changed for the better."

"I think it’s better for you to be cautious..." Zhao Qiliang looked seriously at his sister, "Better safe than sorry. Considering her previous craziness, I can’t fully believe she’s changed."

"Brother, I know..." Chuxia nodded with a smile and switched topics, "Longlong is quite easy to take care of. Except for the initial period when Xiaoqiong was a bit flustered, now she’s quite skilled at it.

Eldest Aunt and Xiaoqiong are getting along better. There’s usually an initial adjustment between mothers and daughters-in-law. Once that’s over, if they get along, they’ll continue to do so. If not, it can’t be forced.

Fortunately, Xiaoqiong and Eldest Aunt belong to the former; now they’re as close as a real mother and daughter. Even Fat Auntie is terribly jealous. Longlong is also in great health. You might not notice from the photos, but when you see him in person, you’ll realize he looks just like you. Eldest Aunt says you were identical to Longlong when you were a child.

Interestingly, when he was just born, everyone thought Longlong looked more like Xiaoqiong. But over the months, he began to look just like you. Are you happy, big brother?"

Zhao Qiliang couldn’t stop smiling, and hearing Chuxia ask that, he nodded repeatedly: "Of course I’m happy. Not just because Longlong looks like me, but..." He sheepishly scratched his head, "I’ve been worried about the relationship between Xiaoqiong and Eldest Aunt. Xiaoqiong is carefree, and your Eldest Aunt is somewhat the same, both a bit headstrong. I both look forward to and dread getting letters.

I know that even if they weren’t getting along, they wouldn’t write to tell me. But still, I can’t help but feel anxious. Hearing what you just said, I can finally relax."

Chuxia blinked her big eyes and looked at Zhao Qiliang with amusement: "Brother, is this the matter you were waiting to ask about?"

"Hehe..." Zhao Qiliang laughed awkwardly and responded, "Yeah."

"Brother, your worry is really unnecessary. Although Xiaoqiong and Eldest Aunt are bold and strong-willed, they are genuinely kind and uncalculating. Even if they had a misunderstanding, as long as they talked it out, got to know each other, everything would be fine.

If you want to ask anyone, ask me, but don’t directly ask Xiaoqiong and Eldest Aunt. Wouldn’t that upset them?"

"I know, I know..." Zhao Qiliang nodded repeatedly, then shifted the topic to his sister, "Xiaoqiong mentioned in a letter that Qihui and Liu Lianbao have really hit it off and have met each other’s parents. Do you think Qihui is okay with it?"

"Of course not!" Chuxia pouted at Zhao Qiliang, "Big brother, what are you imagining in that head of yours all day? Are you thinking that Sister Qihui hasn’t moved past her previous issues, or that Liu Lianbao isn’t good enough for Sister Qihui?"

"Liu Lianbao is kind, reliable, and has a bright future ahead of him. How could he not be good enough for your Sister Qihui? I’m only worried that Qihui might overthink things. She gets along well with you, so if you say she’s fine, then she must be fine..." Zhao Qiliang sighed deeply, "She’s my own sister; I know her personality well. On the surface, she’s agreeable, but deep down, she holds her considerations close. Fortunately, she talks to you. Since you haven’t noticed anything amiss, then all’s well.

Sigh, Chuxia, you might find big brother a bit long-winded, but he hasn’t seen family in over a year. Sometimes, I’m not even sure if I’ll get the chance to see them again, so it’s hard not to think too much.

Big brother isn’t being pessimistic..." Zhao Qiliang looked seriously at Chuxia, "On the battlefield, bullets and artillery are indiscriminate; no one can guarantee their safety."

"Be honest with me, have any of you been injured over the past year?" Chuxia asked seriously, looking intently at Zhao Qiliang, "Big brother, you always used to share the good news but kept the bad news to yourselves.

Now that I’m here, I hope you don’t lie to me anymore. It’s not that I’m going to press for details, I just... I just want to know how it’s been for you all this past year."

"Minor wounds and scratches are unavoidable. Like I said, on the battlefield, bullets and artillery are indiscriminate, so it’s normal. Fortunately, none of us have been seriously hurt.

Chuxia, do you know why we were urgently re-deployed for a second time and haven’t been allowed to return for recuperation? It’s because the Division Commander is truly extraordinary in this respect.

The units that were left here before only engaged the enemy for about two months, yet their casualties were much higher than ours over the whole year..." Zhao Qiliang sighed with admiration, "The Division Commander is an absolute military genius!"

"Praising me again?" At that moment, Zhou Mikang entered with a smile, "You two siblings haven’t seen each other for so long, chatting about family matters, and yet here you are praising me. How can I accept that?"

Following him in, Zhou Hanliang faltered slightly. My goodness, is this the Division Commander he knows well? Then he patted his forehead, oh right, the Division Commander is always like this in front of the sister-in-law. How could he forget? (To be continued.
