"After the parade, I can take a ten-day leave. We can go back to our hometown for a couple of days. It's been a while since I last saw dad, and you must miss him too, right?" He Teng turned to look at He Zhilan as he spoke, seeing her nod, he said, "Dad must miss you too."
"Of course!" He Zhilan said proudly, "Dad only cares about me and Dongxue! It's such a pity that Dongxue can't manage to get time off work at the hospital. Otherwise, our whole family could go back and stay for a while, spend some time with dad, and also see how my second brother is doing. Even though we often talk on the phone, I know, like us, dad and my second brother would only share good news and hide their worries. We need to go back in person to be reassured."
