Lin Yan pondered for a moment and said, "It's Chief Dai Chun."

Lin Yuanhe naturally knew a bit about his son joining the army, and Dai Chun's name was listed first among them, so he certainly knew about it.

But...

How could he have gotten involved with such an important figure in just two months?

And when he returned home, he even prepared a gift for himself, who was his father.

This is simply unbelievable.

I'm just an ordinary junior high school teacher living in a low-rent apartment and earning a meager salary!

He immediately thought, "Could it be that you've already become a martial artist?"

Lin Yan nodded with a smile, "It's even more impressive than you imagined."

That's natural.

How could an ordinary martial artist possibly catch the eye of someone like Dai Chun?

There are plenty of warriors in the army.

The bookish middle-aged man laughed heartily, "Good, good, good, it's good that you're successful, it's good that you're successful."

Having lived as an ordinary person for forty years, he knew how helpless it was to be ordinary. Seeing his family of four crammed into this cramped house, how could he not hate his own powerlessness?

Seeing that Lin Yan has found this way out fills me with joy.

Moreover, aside from the beast tide period, Military warriors are much safer than warriors from martial arts schools and other forces. They don't need to hunt monsters in the Wilderness Area, so they feel more at ease.

Lin Yuanhe stood up, took a bottle of wine from the shelf next to him, and said, "Today, you'll have a drink with me."

Lin Yan took the wine from his hand, put it back on the shelf, and said, "I'm happy today, so I won't drink this. I'll just open the bottle I brought back."

Looking at the specially supplied wine, Lin Yuanhe felt that it should be kept as a collectible, and he would just drink the regular kind.

"Dad, I've become a martial artist now, so you can live a good life. You don't need to be so stingy. Let's move tomorrow into the military family housing area so Tangtang can go to a good school. You two can enjoy your retirement."

Lin Yan opened the bottle, filled two glasses, and placed them on the table.

"You may not know much about martial artists, but just know that I have great talent and am considered one of the most powerful martial artists. The leaders value me highly. If you like this wine, I'll have someone send over a few cases."

Lin Yuanhe's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly. He glanced at his wife, who had toiled for half her life. Her eyes looked red, and she seemed about to cry. He patted her arm to comfort her.

"No need. What would I do with that thing? I don't drink much anyway. Seeing you succeed makes your mother and me feel at ease. Your mother and I are young, not yet at the age where we need to enjoy our retirement."

"Come on, let's have a drink, you and me."

Lin Yuanhe took a sip, and his brows relaxed.

At this moment, even if I were drinking the cheapest wine, I would still feel happy, let alone this specially supplied fine wine.

"Okay, everyone, let's eat."

Lin Tangtang then asked cautiously, "Can I skip school?"

"No!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Baihui's face hardened, and she scolded her.

"If it doesn't work, it doesn't work." Lin Tangtang picked up a piece of braised pork and chewed it sullenly.

Lin Yan looked at his younger sister and found her more and more adorable.

The family enjoyed a happy dinner together.

On his way back, Lin Yan bought new clothes for the three of them while preparing gifts, and only took them out now.

Lin Tangtang was happiest, hugging her new dress and jumping around.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Try them on and see if they fit."

Lin Tangtang dashed into the room.

When they came out after changing, everyone's size was just right, and they all looked elegant and poised. Of course, Lin Yan wouldn't make a mistake with something so simple.

He carefully selected the items, and his parents looked several years younger.

Lin Tangtang looks like a little porcelain doll.

Lin Yan took out the crystal hair clip that Qiu Baihui had put away, walked behind his mother, combed her hair, and put it on her.

They seem to complement each other perfectly.

Looking in the mirror, Qiu Baihui could no longer hold back her tears.

Lin Yuanhe was also somewhat affected by the emotions, and said in a hoarse voice, "You're so happy today, why are you crying!"

Qiu Baihui wiped away her tears and whispered, "I'm so happy..."

She looked at Lin Yan with gentle, tender eyes.

"My son has really grown up."

Lin Yan said, "It's only a little past seven o'clock. Let me take you shopping. I promised Tangtang I would buy her some snacks."

Tangtang held her head high and nodded emphatically.

"My brother promised me!"

Lin Yuanhe nodded and said, "Alright then."

The family went out of their home and downstairs. Night fell, and lights came on in every house.

Lin Yuanhe rarely looked at the stories in the lights so calmly from this angle; he was always busy and couldn't calm down.

Lin Yan walked ahead. "Follow me."

Then take them to the car.

Lin Yuanhe saw the latest Mercedes-Benz and asked, "Did you drive this back?"

Aside from his son, who has already become a martial artist, probably no one else in this neighborhood can afford such a luxury car.

"Right."

Qiu Baihui asked, "Whose car is this?"

She assumed that Lin Yan had borrowed it from someone else.

"It's on me."

The car was brand new. Dai Chun handed him the keys without saying anything else. Five million was nothing to them.

He didn't stand on ceremony.

Lin Tangtang became nervous. "Brother, you're not being kept by some rich guy, are you?"

Reject!

Lin Yan was speechless. Where did this brat learn all this nonsense?

He gently tugged at her pigtails and said, "What's going on in your little head? If you keep talking nonsense, I won't take you out to play!"

Lin Tangtang immediately covered her mouth and pretended to be pitiful in front of him with her big eyes.

"Get in the car."

He had just drunk alcohol, but with a thought, he metabolized it all.

They got into the car, the vehicle started, and drove out of the residential area. Lin Tangtang leaned against the window, looking at the passing street scene with great curiosity.

"I like toy cars."

Lin Yan smiled, while Lin Yuanhe, sitting in the passenger seat, hesitated and asked, "Was this also arranged by your superior?"

He felt this was too much of a favor and didn't conform to the rules.

Lin Yan said, "Don't worry, you'll find out about those things when we move tomorrow, and besides, I'm very rich now."

"They are extremely rich."

Lin Yan led them around for a long time before returning home. They bought a lot of things, but when they got back, they just put them in the car and didn't take them back. He only gave Lin Tangtang two bags of snacks.

After all, today is the last time I'll be sleeping in this house that I've lived in for decades.

Apart from Tangtang, none of the others felt sleepy.

Lin Yuanhe and Qiu Baihui Jueyi like they were dreaming. Suddenly, their son had become completely different, and their lives would also be completely different.

But it really did happen.

Lin Yan lay on the sofa in the living room, gazing at the moonlight outside the window.

Her eyes were bright and clear.

I will protect them and bring them peace and happiness; this is all I can do for you.

"Lin Yan".

Thanks to Qiyu Xinghun for the reward
