Chapter 792: Picking Up Father He and Second Brother to Go to the Capital 11_1
"Big brother is too indulgent! Whenever I act pitiful in front of him, he becomes defenseless~" He Zhilan said with a teasing smile, but when she turned around, she unexpectedly found a towering He Teng standing two steps behind her, looking a bit puzzled at her.
He Zhilan stuck out her tongue, speaking to He Da, "Second Brother, hurry up, freshen up and join us for breakfast." Then, she quickly walked towards He Teng, saying, "I was just kidding earlier to make Second Brother happy. Don’t take it seriously!"
Seeing that He Teng didn’t respond, He Zhilan swiftly changed the topic and asked, "Brother, why haven’t I seen Niu Rang since I came to the army this time? I didn’t see him in the canteen last night either!"
"He’s on a mission, don’t ask too many questions." He Teng replied. Matters related to the army were not something he would elaborate on. Seeing that their father and brother had finished freshening up, he urged them to eat the breakfast he had brought back from the canteen while it was still hot, then asked He Zhilan when they were planning to take their father to the capital.
"I originally planned to stay in the army for a few more days, but Bian Muhe said it’s best to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible. So, we plan to catch a train to the capital tomorrow morning, get Second Brother’s check-up done first, and we’ll see about the rest." He Zhilan said.
He Teng nodded, "Then I will see you off to the train station tomorrow morning. Recently the army has been busy, and I can’t spare the time, so I won’t be able to accompany you to the capital."
"I’m not going to the capital for anything important, brother. You’re busy, you should stay in the army. There’s no need for you to come with us." He Da spoke up, "Besides, Zhilan said everything has been arranged in the capital - accommodation, clothes, everything. If you come, we might be crowded."
The joking remark from He Da made everyone in the room burst into laughter. Even He Teng, who wasn’t one for jokes, couldn’t help but crack a smile. He glanced at He Zhilan who had taken over the responsibility that was originally his.
