“You young people have to be driven. How can you be like this?” Old Fu sighed and continued to preach. “You say that those who don’t have any ideals can’t be young people. You’re a descendant of the Song family, and you should prioritize the country. How can you be so decadent and only think about yourself?”
Song Yiyan blinked and touched her stomach. “Old Fu, I’m pregnant.”
Old Master Fu had prepared a lot of words to persuade her, but he swallowed them all when he heard her words. He turned around and glared at Song Chen. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? It’s such a big deal!”
Rong Yin had asked him to come over and to try and persuade her to help after she became the Alliance Master of the Onmyoji Alliance.
He felt that Rong Yin’s words were too humble. Since she had already agreed to do it, why couldn’t she do it well? Why did she have to only have a fake title? He told him that he would definitely convince her to do it well.
The descendants of the Song family are the descendants of the Chinese military. How could they not repay their ancestors?
“I just found out. It’s not good to tell anyone.” Song Chen was also wronged. He couldn’t tell anyone in the first three months, it was an old tradition in China.
“Got it.” Old Fu sighed. She was already pregnant, how could he let her go to the battlefield? “Yanyan, take good care of your body during this period of time. We’ll talk about this after your child is born and your body recovers.”
A woman’s childbirth was the most damaging to her vitality. It would take her at least two or three years to recover to her original state. His wife, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter-in-law were all like this, he knew that.
“Thank you, Old Fu.” Song Yiyan finally heaved a sigh of relief. She could hide for another two years, her baby had come at the right time.
“You too.” Old Fu pointed at Song Chen. “Yanyan already has a baby, yet you still let her go to the battlefield to save him. You all have to thank Yanyan properly.”
She was indeed a child of the Song family. At such a critical moment, she could take the risk to complete this secret mission for her uncle. Yanyan has the country in her heart.
“I asked for it myself.” Song Yiyan looked at Old Fu. “My grandfather didn’t ask me to go.”
She wouldn’t say anything no matter how deep it was, in case Old Fu had too much hope in her. He might even have handed over the China Special Affairs Department to her.
She did not want to worry about so many things. How tiring was that? She did not want to be a strong woman either, she just wanted to live a peaceful life.
In her previous life, she had already had enough of hiding and working hard. Just thinking about it made her feel like she was not human.
“You and Ji Xing just came back and must be tired. Hurry up and go up to rest!” Old Fu looked at the child’s dark circles and haggard face, he did not pull them to talk anymore.
There was no end to these words, there was plenty of time to say them and there was no hurry.
“Then, Old Fu, we’ll go up and rest.” Song Yiyan was really exhausted. “Take your time with Grandpa.”
Ji Xing and Song Yiyan went upstairs.
“Come here.” Old Fu glanced at Song Chen.
“Teacher.” Song Chen stood beside him respectfully.
“I know about Yanyan. As her grandfather, you have to pay more attention to her and do more thinking.” Old Fu could tell that she really didn’t want to be the leader of the Onmyoji Alliance.
“Yes,” Song Chen said stubbornly.
Doing a job? Yanyan was a child with an idea, it wasn’t up to him to decide. She was different from the other children at home.
Besides, he could not bear to criticize her!
“You told the children at home that you would educate her on patriotism when you have nothing to do. I think you’ve neglected this.” Old Fu sighed. “If this child is capable, she should be used to the best of her ability. If she is allowed to stay at home and be a good wife and mother, she will be letting down her talents, her people, and her country.”
When Song Chen heard this, he couldn’t help but brace himself and say, “Teacher, it’s Yanyan’s own choice to live her life. I respect her and won’t force her.”
Old Fu said, “I didn’t ask you to force her. I just asked you to talk more and subtly influence her. Which child of the Song family doesn’t work hard for China?”
“Teacher, the men and women of our Song family are all at the front line, doing the most dangerous and confidential work. I want Yanyan to be safe.” Song Chen felt bitter.
That’s right. He had worked hard until he almost died in exchange for the honor of the Song family in China. However, behind these words was countless blood and hard work. It was too heavy.
Wasn’t Yanyan the same this time? At a critical moment, the Song family could only advance. They advanced fearlessly, which one of them had ever retreated?
However, no one knew how painful and sad he was when Yanyan and Ji Xing were there. He wanted to shout at them not to go, he was afraid that they would not be able to come back if they went.
Nor did he know what kind of torment he’d been enduring in the six hours they’d been gone, every minute of it burning with anxiety.
He would not stop his children and grandchildren from serving their country. That was their choice.
If they’d chosen to be at home, he agreed. That, too, was their choice.
Among the children of the Song family, only one was at the back, looking after the house as if it was a tradition.
The eldest and second brothers went to the army and handed over the family business to the third son.
In Ah Heng’s generation, all three children had gone to the army, tacitly letting Yanyan stay.
After Song Chen sent Old Fu off, he stood in the courtyard and looked at the sky for a long time before turning around and returning to the house. He climbed up to the second floor.
Ji Xing was still awake while Song Yiyan was already asleep.
Ji Xing opened the door and saw the old man standing there. “Grandpa.”
Song Chen’s voice was very soft. “Is Yanyan asleep?”
Ji Xing said, “Yes.”
Song Chen said, “Follow me to the study.”
With Yanyan’s personality, she didn’t want to do anything now.
But when it came down to it, when no one could take the responsibility, she would still take it up without hesitation.
They were the children of the Song family, the bloodline of the Song family. He naturally knew their personalities, and the sense of responsibility in their bones did not allow them to stand by and do nothing.
He had to inform Ji Xing first so that he could take good care of Yanyan, support her, and protect her.
“Ji Xing, if she insists on doing something dangerous, don’t blame her. She’s stubborn.” Song Chen looked at him.
Ji Xing said, “Grandpa, don’t worry. No matter what she does, I will support her and protect her.”
Song Chen said, “Even if you think that way now and got tired after a long time, can you still guarantee that you will love her, trust her, indulge her, and protect her as you do now?”
“You young people have to be driven. How can you be like this?” Old Fu sighed and continued to preach. “You say that those who don’t have any ideals can’t be young people. You’re a descendant of the Song family, and you should prioritize the country. How can you be so decadent and only think about yourself?”
