Chapter 860: Love After a Long Separation

Yu Jie said, "My third sister said that this kid went to Yangzhi Wuyi and became a fighter. Later, he was admitted to the Central City Wuyi Academy. Now he is said to be working in the defense department. Anyway, he has a promising future."

"Oh? Really?"

Han Kuang was a little surprised and said, "This child must have had a hard time."

It was not easy to be admitted to the Central City Wuyi College. As for the specific position, he didn't pay much attention to it. Judging from his age, he should not have graduated yet. Most likely, he received funding from the local Central City Defense Department. This was a common thing, but he had a promising future.

He thought for a moment and said, "I remember your second sister is also a fighter, right? Maybe her son is also suitable for this path."

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he regretted saying it.

Sure enough, Yu Jie's voice rang out the next moment.

"What's so good about being a fighter? Yu Zhen is a girl, and she practices these things all day long. How much did she suffer in the past? Not to mention her parents, even I feel heartbroken when I see it. Hey, if Yu Zhen had listened to my arrangements, she would not have followed that young researcher and would not have disappeared later."

Han Kuang did not interrupt. He had heard Yu Jie nag about this matter countless times. Once she started talking, she would never stop. He said, "I'm hungry. I'm going to eat something first."

Yu Jie said, "Old Han, I made pumpkin and millet porridge for you. I asked Ling's mother to bring it to you. You have a bad stomach and you stayed up late yesterday. You have to be careful. Don't eat greasy food so early in the morning. Also, you are not allowed to smoke."

Han Kuang responded, put on his clothes, went out to rinse his mouth and wash his face, then sat down in the small dining room next to the bedroom. Ling's mother brought up a bowl full of pumpkin porridge. He picked up the spoon, took a sip, and nodded. After so many years, Yu Jie's porridge was still his favorite.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, his stomach felt warm and comfortable. After rinsing and wiping his mouth, he returned to the study, first took a few unapproved documents that were delivered yesterday and reviewed them, then took the internal newspaper that was delivered today and read it.

The garrison of his army is right next to the central city. If the army of the Interfusion Land fails in its defense, or if any unexpected situation occurs, the garrison can enter the central city at any time to assist in defense or counterattack, so they must keep track of information about the central city at all times.

After watching for a while, he heard laughter and talking coming from the yard below, and he knew it was his two daughters. These two daughters were not like him at all, but more like Yu Jie, with very outgoing personalities, and became very lively when there were guests at home.

He also heard another young man speaking. His slightly hoarse voice suggested that he was from a military background. This should be the child of Yu Jie's third sister.

He thought of how his brother-in-law had come to him to find a way for his child. It just so happened that he had a recommendation spot in the army, and Nian Qian performed very well in all aspects of physical tests, so he was allowed to take the entrance exam for military school. Unexpectedly, he has actually graduated now. In contrast, his eldest son was unwilling to join the army and insisted on starting some agency company. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head.

After reading the newspaper for a while, he saw that there was no major news worth noting today, so he put the newspaper away, changed his clothes, and walked downstairs.

At this moment, Nian Qian was talking to his two cousins ​​under the corridor in the yard. The two sisters were both smart and lively. The last time he came back was five years ago. In the blink of an eye, they have grown up and their eyebrows and eyes have matured. The eldest daughter, Han Xiaohuan, is sixteen years old, a bit like Han Kuang, with a high nose bridge, a slightly hard facial contour, and a very heroic look. The youngest daughter, Han Xiaojing, is fourteen years old, and looks more like the Yu sisters, with a softer face and very beautiful eyebrows.

At this time, he saw Han Kuang coming out of the house, and immediately stood up and saluted solemnly: "Hello, sir."

Han Kuang returned the greeting. He was very satisfied with Nian Qian's address to him. He smiled and said, "We are all family. There is no need to be so serious at home. Just call me uncle."

"Yes!"

"Hey, sit down, sit down." After Han Kuang sat down, he waited for his daughter and Nian Qian to sit down, then asked, "Where are your parents?"

"Just now, my aunt took them shopping in the city, and my younger brother and sister also went with them."

"Well, that's fine. It's rare for you to come here. Your uncle has time today, so let's have a good chat..."

Han Kuang saw his two daughters sitting on the porch chairs leaning against each other. He frowned and scolded them, "You are sitting crookedly. What a mess! Sit up straight!"

When Han Xiaohuan and Han Xiaojing heard this, they immediately sat up straight.

Han Kuang then said to Nian Qian: "I see you are a major now. It's not easy for you at your age."

Nian Qian said, "Uncle, I am also trembling with fear, afraid that I might have done something wrong."

"It's right to be trembling with fear, but don't say this in front of your uncle. Your uncle can see that you are very brave."

Han Kuang pointed at him and said, "When I first saw you, I knew you were suitable for working in the army. Now it seems that I, your uncle, was right about you."

Han Xiaohuan interrupted and said, "I heard that my cousin brought a special forces company to the island to carry out a mission a few days ago?"

Han Kuang frowned.

Nian Qianlian said: "This matter is not confidential. Our troops mainly cooperated in collecting some technical data and testing the results through the mission. The result was very successful. It may be gradually promoted to other troops in the future."

After hearing this, Han Kuang also became interested and asked, "Can you tell me more about it?"

Nian Qian told some of the information he could, of course he would not reveal the specific data without the consent of his superiors, even though Han Kuang was a superior in the army.

As a staff officer, Han Kuang understood a lot from what Nian Qian said. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Your troops are ahead. You are close to the sea. Since you have to face the forces from overseas and the pressure from the Linax Federation, the technology must be focused there first. Let's stop here. Nian Qian, tell me about your experience after joining the army."

"Okay."

The two of them were talking over there, and the topic they talked about was all about military affairs. Most of them were about innovations and technologies in cutting-edge warfare, as well as discussions on the military levels of various countries.

The eldest daughter Han Xiaohuan was very interested in these contents and listened with great interest, but the youngest daughter Han Xiaojing was just listening for fun. When she saw the two people had drunk the water in their teacups, she came up to refill their tea.

After chatting for a while, Han Kuang felt relaxed. While drinking tea, he asked casually, "How did you get here this time?"

Nian Qian replied: "My cousin arranged the airship for us. We first went to Gu County, and then changed to a car there. The journey was quite smooth."

"airship?"

Han Kuang was slightly surprised. It was not just anyone who could use an airship. It seemed that he had underestimated this junior. He said, "I heard from your aunt that your cousin is in the Central City Defense Department." He put the cup to his lips, "What position does he hold now?"

"Head of the Central City Security and Defense Department."

"Oh, Director..." Han Kuang was drinking tea when he suddenly spit it out with a "Puff". Han Xiaohuan asked in surprise, "Dad, are you okay?"

The youngest daughter, Han Xiaojing, hurried over to rub his back and wiped his clothes with a handkerchief.

Han Kuang didn't care about the water spilling on him. He looked at Nian Qian in shock, feeling as if he had heard wrongly. "Nian Qian, what did you say? Your cousin, the director? The Security and Defense Department?"

Nian Qian nodded and said, "Yes, Director of the Central City Security and Defense Department."

Han Kuang was stunned, looking extremely shocked. As a military advisor, how could he not know about the Central City Security and Defense Department? The director was already the highest level in the Central City, on the same level as the Chief of Administration, and could be directly responsible for the capital. If he were in the military, he would have to be at least a general.

He looked at Nian Qian in disbelief, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "How did your cousin get to sit in that position?"

Nian Qian coughed and slowed down his speech, "Because... my cousin is a fighter."

Han Kuang's eyes suddenly widened. This news undoubtedly brought him a greater shock than the previous sentence. He felt that he could not digest it all at once. He was stunned for a long time. It was only after his daughter's reminder that he realized something. He hurriedly picked up the teacup that was almost overturned and drank a few sips to cover up his gaffe.

After a while, he felt his confused mind calm down, and he murmured, "Fighter..." He didn't even notice that there was an unconscious tremor in his throat.

As a military staff officer, he knew more about the situation than others and knew what a fighter was like. He took a breath and asked, "How long ago was this?"

Nian Qian thought for a moment and said, "It was probably just a few months ago."

Han Kuang nodded. Generally speaking, matters concerning fighters would not be discussed publicly, and would not be publicized with great fanfare. In addition, the information was not shared among the various central cities. It was normal for Shannan Dao not to know about this, but...

He looked up at the sky; the bright sunlight outside seemed a little unreal.

After a moment, he couldn't help but ask again: "Is your cousin twenty years old?"

"It's after the New Year, so it's exactly twenty."

"A twenty-year-old fighter..."

Han Kuang couldn't help but marvel at this, what kind of talent and gift is this?

There were fighters in the army, but he had never seen them, because they were stationed at the frontier of the fusion area and rarely came out. Even if they appeared, they would travel back and forth by airship. However, he had read relevant information about the martial arts of fighters. He could almost imagine that Nian Qian's cousin would become an important figure in the upper echelons of Dashun in the future.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

At this moment, I thought of something and tried to ask, "Your cousin said he would come this time?"

Nian Qian nodded and said, "He was planning to come. He said he had some sudden official business to attend to."

Han Kuang nodded repeatedly. He understood this matter very well. As a director and a fighter, wouldn't he have a lot of things to do?
The two were talking when the phone inside rang urgently. After a while, Ling's mother ran out and said, "Sir, it's your superior calling. It seems like he wants to talk to you about something urgent."
