Chapter 263: Chapter 261: More Terrifying Than the Devil

This afternoon, Wang Liansheng didn’t go on a business trip; he even left work early to go home.

He bought groceries, went home and started cooking, checked his watch, and saw it was time for school to let out at the daycare. He asked Xiao Yu and Hongling to arrange the table for dinner while he quietly walked out the door, and found a hidden corner outside the daycare to peek inside through a classroom window.

The children were sitting around the table, each with their hands behind their backs, obediently waiting for the teacher to serve food into their small bowls.

Wang Liansheng’s gaze quickly found his mischievous child, but he saw that Wang Wenzhang was not sitting; instead, he was alongside the teacher, helping serve dishes while putting steamed buns on each child’s plate.

“Deputy Chief Wang.” Someone whispered quietly behind him.

Wang Liansheng turned around to see the daycare director’s friendly face and awkwardly smiled, “It’s his first time staying for lunch, I worry that the rascal might be picky with his food.”

The director, a kind-hearted lady, understood the parents’ concerns, nodded and smiled, “You’ve seen it now, haven’t you? You can rest assured. Actually, little Wang Wenzhang performs very well in class, quite responsible, and even looks after the other children… you might not know, but little Wang Wenzhang is the class monitor.”

Wang Liansheng really didn’t know. Although he saw his child’s teacher every day during pick-up, attended parent-teacher meetings, and watched the June 1st performance, he never went further in communicating with the teachers. Meanwhile, the boisterous rascal never mentioned he was made class monitor.

Hah, this rascal is really achieving something!

After seeing all this, Wang Liansheng was relieved and cheerfully went back home.

Ling Chengyan also came back. Wang Liansheng wanted to share the news of their son becoming a class monitor with his wife, but when he opened his mouth, he considered the son’s maturity, and somehow felt he was being too impulsive himself. So, he happily called the family to eat, temporarily swallowing the news about their son.

After lunch, Hongling and Xiao Yu gathered the plates with Xiaoxing, and Wang Liansheng said to his wife, “I went to see, and the kid is doing well, you don’t need to worry.”

Ling Chengyan glanced at him, smiled and nodded, then stepped out the door.

Watching his wife’s hurried departing figure, the rest of Wang Liansheng’s words stopped in his throat.

Let it be, I’ll tell her in the evening.

Who would have thought that in the afternoon, news came that someone from Mr. Lian’s side arrived, and Wang Liansheng had to accompany them to finalize the factory site in Fucheng County.

It takes over an hour to drive to Fucheng County, and you have to visit several potential sites… there’s no way to get back before evening.

Wang Liansheng could only call his wife to let her know he’d be heading to Fucheng County and wouldn’t be back for dinner.

Ling Chengyan was much more composed, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ve asked Xiao Yu and Hongling and left them money and tickets; the kids can just eat at the cafeteria.”

Wang Liansheng pursed his lips and hung up the phone.

After hanging up, he remembered that he’d forgotten to tell his wife about their son being class monitor again. But to call especially for this matter felt — insufficiently mature, almost as if he was less steady than their son.

So, Wang Liansheng temporarily put the matter aside.

Starting from that night’s dinner, the Ling family’s children began their self-reliant life.

Xiaoxing and Hongbing didn’t need much attention; Hongling and Xiao Yu just needed to bring Shi Tou home at night.

The happiest among them was little Wang Wenzhang.

Since his parents sent him to full-day care, his morning and evening training had been temporarily canceled. He could sleep an extra hour in the morning, spend evenings with his siblings and aunt drawing, writing, playing with toys, reading pictorials and comics… these were his long-sought paradise days.

Yet, he felt bored before a single day had passed.

He started to miss the times of exercising with his mom and uncles.

Mom said she would teach him archery after he practiced arm strength for a period. With this pause, when would he get to practice shooting arrows? Moreover, after practicing for more than a year, he wasn’t completely clueless; he knew skills would lag without continuous practice.

No, he needed to talk to mom about resuming the morning and evening exercises, continuing the training.

But Ling Chengyan led the team for night emergency drills and returned home already in the dead of night, long after little Wang Wenzhang had fallen asleep like a piglet.

Early the next morning, as soon as Wang Wenzhang opened his eyes he searched for mom, only to find dad dressing him.

“Where’s mom?” Little Wang Wenzhang rubbed his eyes and asked.

“Your mom left early for some work,” Wang Liansheng said while pinching his son’s chubby face.

This heartless rascal! He made food and drinks, picked him up for school every day, yet when he opened his eyes, he still looked for mom first.

So, following Wang Liansheng who couldn’t find a chance to talk to his wife, now there was little Wang Wenzhang who couldn’t find his mom.

Father and son eagerly wanting to see the family’s female head, from morning to night, from night again to morning, Ling Chengyan was so busy she practically became an invisible person at home, sometimes not coming back even at night due to training.

A week passed, and the Special Service Company warriors felt they had shed a layer of skin.

Only personally experiencing such knew how gentle and amiable the previous company commander was. Nowadays, the commander seemed like a devil who had turned evil, torturing them until they were alive and dead and alive again with half a life lost.

At week’s end, Ling Chengyan stood in front of all company warriors and announced the week’s training results.

In the queue, some agonized over their inadequate rankings, yet there were others thinking fast, already secretly rejoicing: now that the training results were announced, the devil training must be over?

But they were fated to be happy in vain. After announcing the results, devil training continued, intensifying even more. If the first week was devil-level training, the second week walked into hell, and the third week was like the eighteenth layer of hell!

During a training break, Ling Chengyan received a call from Yang Hua, who hadn’t yet decided which direction to choose. Ling Chengyan candidly analyzed the pros and cons for him.

Then, Yang Hua made his decision, opting to study at the medical college.

Ling Chengyan was very happy for him, “In the future, when our company encounters injuries or illness, we won’t have to worry about finding a doctor.”

Yang Hua also laughed and said, “Commander, don’t worry, I will study hard to become a good doctor and won’t bring shame to you and the Special Service Company.”

Ling Chengyan smiled and nodded, “Alright, give it your best!”

Xu Dong interjected, “Don’t boast too soon, work hard and strive to become a renowned physician!”

Yang Hua’s laughter grew louder, clearly transmitting through the phone line, “Instructor, rest assured, if your heart turns dark, I’ll make sure not to mistakenly cut out the liver.”

“You rascal, not even out of the Special Service Company yet, daring to tease me already, you brat, just you wait! I’ll handle you!” Xu Dong shouted at Yang Hua, but the smile on his face was incredibly genuine.
