The next day, at dawn.
Lele and I packed our bags full and were taken to the military base.
Before entering the base, the female soldiers of the cultural troupe standing at the gate laughed and called me big brother in unison. They not only praised me for being handsome but also complimented my son for being smart and cute, saying that their chief finally got her wish and married the man she liked.
I smiled.
During the three years I mourned for Ding Wanjun, I didn't wear colorful clothes even once, and I hardly ate meat. I lived like an ascetic for three years, and my son, feeling sorry for me, joined me in eating vegetarian, with a pale look on his face every day.
Now I can finally let go.
Even my son's little face is filled with anticipation for his new mom.
