They said they were going to climb a mountain, but after walking a short distance, Yun Zhilan couldn't climb anymore due to lack of exercise.

Shen Changping really couldn't do anything with her and could only sit down with her.

Jiang Wan turned around and saw that the shoes Yun Zhilan was wearing had a little heel.

Although this point is not very high and will not affect your normal walking, it is still very tiring to climb the mountain.

"Your parents are tired, shall we stop and rest as well?"

"We've only climbed this far, and we haven't even reached the top to see the view yet. Is it going to end so soon?"

Cheng Jinnian frowned, with regret in his tone.

"Although this trip is to climb the mountain, it is actually to ease the relationship between you and your parents."

"Your mother didn't think you would bring her to hike, so she wore these shoes."

"This kind of shoes is actually not suitable for mountain climbing, but in order not to spoil the fun, she did not refuse at first."

"Auntie has already shown her attitude. Do you really have to make her climb to the top of the mountain? By then, her legs will probably be broken."

Jiang Wan has always acted as a peacemaker in their tense parent-child relationship.

Whenever she saw that something was not right with them, she would immediately speak up for them.

I have to say that Jiang Wan's approach is very effective.

After hearing this, Cheng Jinnian immediately realized his mistake.

"It's my problem. I didn't notice it before."

"This mountain doesn't really have any special features except that it's close to the military. I won't climb it if I don't want to."

As Cheng Jinnian spoke, he took Jiang Wan's hand and walked to the seat next to Yun Zhilan and sat down.

Shen Changping was originally massaging Yun Zhilan's feet, but when she saw her son coming over, Yun Zhilan quickly retracted her feet.

She was obviously a little tired, but the moment she saw them, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Why don't you guys climb the mountain anymore? I'm fine. I'll be fine soon after sitting for a while."

Yun Zhilan struggled to stand up, and Jiang Wan immediately smiled and grabbed her hand, letting her sit back down.

"Auntie, I'm tired and don't want to climb the mountain anymore. How about we go back now?"

Yun Zhilan was dumbfounded when she heard this. She was clearly the one who was tired, so how come Jiang Wan was the one who was tired now?

Yun Zhilan actually doesn’t like sports and she seldom goes out, so her physical fitness is not good at all.

Although Jiang Wan looks thin, he gives her a very strong feeling.

Jiang Wan gives people the impression that he has a good physique and doesn't get sick easily.

She is such a healthy person, but he actually lied to save her face. It was really intentional.

Yun Zhilan didn't want to climb the mountain in the first place, but now she had this excuse to go down the mountain.

It was clearly her own fault that she was physically exhausted, but now Jiang Wan was taking the blame for her.

On the way down the mountain, Yun Zhilan felt very embarrassed, so her whole face was red.

After coming down the mountain, Cheng Jinnian took them to the market around the army.

There wasn't much that could be done in the morning, and soon it was past eleven o'clock.

Cheng Jinnian found a restaurant in the market and took them to have lunch.

When he ordered the food, he specifically ordered a dish that everyone liked.

Yun Zhilan had only said some of these things once, but he remembered them firmly in his heart.

The food was served on the table. After Shen Changping started eating, Cheng Jinnian took the initiative to serve Jiang Wan.

Cheng Jinnian was about to return to the army, so the meal was a bit dull.

Yun Zhilan's appetite today was obviously not as good as yesterday. After dinner, she asked a question again and again.

"Jinnian, after we met you this time, when will we meet again?"

"I heard from Wanwan that you used up a lot of your vacation time to look after your child. Is it basically difficult for you to take a vacation now?"

Yun Zhilan's voice choked up when she said this. She had finally recognized her son, but she had to part with him before she even heard him call her "Mom".

She just felt a sour and swollen feeling in her heart, and she couldn't describe the feeling.

"There are no holidays at the moment, but if you perform well in subsequent missions, the army may grant you additional holidays."

"What if there is really no reward vacation? When will I meet you next time?"

Yun Zhilan's eyes were red as she asked the question she least wanted to ask.

"Then I guess we have to wait until the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year, everyone has a fixed holiday, and anyone who wants to go home can come back."

When Yun Zhilan heard the word "New Year", she immediately counted on her fingers, only to find that it would still be several months away.

"It's still Chinese New Year? Why is it taking so long?"

"What if mom misses you later? Can I come to visit you?"

Yun Zhilan looked at him nervously, waiting for his reply.

"Of course, but I've been on a lot of missions lately, so you'd better call and ask before you come, so as not to come back empty-handed."

Cheng Jinnian's words were just a kind reminder, but Yun Zhilan burst into tears when she heard it.

"I, Yun Zhilan, am already old, and I still have to make a phone call to make an appointment to see my own son?"

"Although being a soldier is pretty good, for the sake of family reunion, would you consider changing careers?"

"We have some connections. I can find you a decent job anytime if you want. We don't have to be a soldier, do we?"

When Yun Zhilan first heard that Cheng Jinnian was joining the army, she was very happy and thought that soldiers were mighty and powerful.

It is really a promising thing for my son to join the army.

As a result, she found out that being a soldier was not that easy.

Not only are there endless tasks all day long, but I often have to worry about my head being on my belt.

Moreover, there are only a few holidays throughout the year, and it is difficult to see her son. How can she tolerate this?

"I like being a soldier and I like my current job. I have no plans to change my career at the moment."

Cheng Jinnian not only sincerely likes to stay in the army, but he is also holding a grudge in his heart.

He has been a soldier for so many years and is still just a small platoon leader?

He has good abilities and has recently had hopes of promotion.

If he left like this, it would be a lifelong regret for him.

His life will become incomplete because of this incident. Even if his second half of life is safe and smooth, he will always feel unhappy whenever he thinks of this incident.

His wife, children and parents are very important to him, but as a person living in this world, one should also have his own ideals, right?

When Cheng Jinnian thought about this, he quickly made a decision in his mind.

He had an agreement with Jiang Wan to find the child, and he also had a five-year agreement with himself.

If his position remains the same for the past five years, it means he is not suitable for military service.

If he was just a small platoon leader for five years and the money he earned was not even enough to support his family, he would immediately retire and go back to take care of his children and spend time with his wife.
