Chapter 541 - 541 542 Wife Wait for Me to Come Home

Chapter 541: Chapter 542: Wife, Wait for Me to Come Home! Chapter 541: Chapter 542: Wife, Wait for Me to Come Home! It was Old Peng who she wanted to take with her to City C, but Old Peng shook his head, insisting on returning to his home. He said he needed to look after his grandson, Xiaojun—wherever the boy was, that’s where he would be.

Tang Zelin shook his head at her, saying, “Since the old man wants to go home, let’s not persuade him.”

Upon hearing this, Su Shu swallowed back the words she had almost said.

Lu Tong and Su Shu boarded a military plane headed for Province B, leaving the others to take a different military plane back to the Peng Mountain Region.

With that, the matter seemed to be resolved, but just before boarding the plane, a small problem arose.

Among the children, there was Little Fatty, who just wouldn’t let go of Lu Tong’s leg, no matter what.

Crying and shouting, he insisted on staying with his “big brother” through life and death, never to part.

The scene and the crying were no less dramatic than a heart-rending farewell.

Lu Tong also wore a pained expression, hugging Little Fatty silently, only casting glances filled with a silent plea at Yao Ke, Tang Zelin, and Su Shu, yet he was sensible enough not to voice his request.

He probably realized that his plea would be too much to ask.

Yao Ke, having entrusted his own nephew to the care of his comrade-in-arms, was already imposing enough; he definitely couldn’t say more.

But no matter who tried, no one could pry Little Fatty away.

To say they couldn’t wasn’t just about physical separation—it was also out of compassion.

The child in front of them was already orphaned; the pain of being torn away was enough to make even adults feel a sting in their noses, let alone a child.

Little Fatty, determined to stay with Lu Tong, started to sob and choke, turning out his pockets and dumping out all his snacks.

There actually wasn’t much to see. Crying and shouting, he said, “I want to be with Brother Lu Tong. I don’t want to be separated from my brother. I’ll never eat snacks again, I won’t eat them, I won’t eat them!”

Everyone listening had a lump in their throats.

Tang Zelin looked at Su Shu, and she understood his thoughts.

With Xiao’ai and now Lu Tong, there were already plenty of kids; did they need to add Little Fatty.

Su Shu felt a headache coming on.

Tang Zelin whispered in her ear, “We don’t necessarily have to be the ones to take care of him. If not, I’ll ask our family back home to think of a way to settle him.”

After all, the children’s return to the Peng Mountain Region might not be as favorable as staying in Province B.

An orphan, he believed, Old Tang from their family could certainly handle.

With him saying that, Su Shu had no objections.

“Then let’s see if the people from Peng Mountain agree,” she said.

Tang Zelin turned and discussed the matter with Yao Ke for a moment.

Yao Ke immediately went to talk to the other leaders.

Su Shu wasn’t entirely sure how the men resolved the situation, but by the time she was officially boarding the plane, Little Fatty, who had been wailing just moments before, was now waiting with his tearfully red eyes, timidly holding Lu Tong’s hand as they followed on board.

Outside the cabin door stood Tang Zelin’s tall figure, his eyes openly filled with longing, scorching Su Shu’s heart.

She felt an overwhelming sourness welling up inside, nearly bursting into tears.

She suppressed the sadness forcefully and waved outside, shouting loudly, “Tang Zelin, you promised me—you must come home safely!”

Outside the door, Tang Zelin saluted, said nothing, but simply nodded to his wife.

Every soldier nearby was touched by Su Shu’s words.

“Wait for me at home!”

As the cabin door was closing, Tang Zelin suddenly shouted loudly.

Through the glass, Su Shu nodded furiously.

She would wait for him.

She was used to waiting for him, in both her past and present lives.

As long as he would come home, she could wait, no matter how long.
