Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s-Chapter 1305: You Are Already a Man

"Ah, Old Cheng, go easy with your hands! You’re about to pull off your son’s ears!" Qi Siyuan shouted in the hospital room.

"Don’t worry! I know what I’m doing!"

In the hallway, along the corridor.

Cheng Nanfang glared into his son’s eyes, his face grim as he said, "What’s this about? Have you learned to stir up trouble and debt outside?"

Cheng Yue rubbed his sore ear and said, "No! Dad, I’m openly in a relationship. How does that become stirring up trouble and debt? Can you please watch your words? You’re a commander, after all! Using the wrong words makes people think you’re uneducated!"

"Shut your mouth! So you’re the educated one, are you?" Cheng Nanfang truly had a headache. He wondered why on earth he had ever had such a troublesome son. "Twenty years ago, had I known you’d be like this, I might as well have strangled you at birth. It would have saved me all this trouble now!"

Cheng Yue snorted disdainfully: "Strangle me at birth? You’re just saying that now. My mom told me more than once after I was born that you were so pleased to see I was a boy. You were so happy you wanted to announce it to the world with gongs and firecrackers!"

Would you really have strangled me?

"Enough! Stop talking nonsense! I’m asking you, did you really have a child with that girl?" Cheng Nanfang asked.

Cheng Yue remained silent.

"I’m talking to you! Are you deaf or have you gone mute?" Cheng Nanfang said, infuriated by the careless look on his son’s face.

"Aren’t you the one who told me not to talk?" Cheng Yue replied.

"Stop the nonsense! Answer the question." Cheng Nanfang frowned and snapped.

"No! It was all to deceive my mom! Don’t worry, I would never do such a thing without getting married. Cheng Yue spoke earnestly.

"That’s for the best," Cheng Nanfang, hearing this, was relieved. "I’m telling you! Your sister is gone, and you know what state your mom has been in these last six months. I won’t allow you to stay in Nancheng! You were willful during your school years and we let you be, but not anymore. You’re a man now, not a clueless child. You must consider your mom’s feelings first in everything!"

"Understood. I heard you," Cheng Yue obediently nodded.

"Also, if that girl really can’t come to Jiangning, then break up with her! Your mom’s health is poor, she has high blood pressure, and the northern weather is not good in winter, she would suffer there! The parents would adjust for you if possible, but you still need to make things easier on everyone. After all, you haven’t known her for long, just break it off!" Cheng Nanfang gave Cheng Yue his final ultimatum.

Cheng Yue fell silent, and after a while, he nodded: "Dad, don’t worry! I will handle this matter well."

"That’s good! Don’t make everyone at home worry about you," Cheng Nanfang patted Cheng Yue’s shoulder and left.

Feng Yuzhi went to the military hospital for three days in a row looking for Cheng Yue, each time being told that there was a family emergency, and she rushed home overnight after getting the news.

She still hasn’t come back!

Feng Yuzhi couldn’t believe it, so she decided to wait at the hospital entrance, convinced she wouldn’t miss Cheng Yue.

After hearing from Yan Luquan about what their mother, Feng Yuzhi, had been doing these past few days, Yan Huan, both angry and anxious, rushed to the entrance of the military hospital.

Under the scorching sun, she stood there with a bag on her back, continuously wiping sweat with a handkerchief she held in her hand.
