Chapter 250 ends, time to go home.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The village that Xia Yuhuan and her medical team were guarding is finally completely safe. There is no longer any need for quarantine or lockdown, and they can go home.

On the way back, the bus was filled with the constant chatter of voices.

Everyone was very happy.

After all, they had been away for two months, and they were naturally happy to finally be able to go home.

Xia Yuhuan and Chi Yanzhou sat together.

She rested her head on Chi Yanzhou's shoulder and said with a smile, "Finally, I can go home. It's so good."

"Hmm." Chi Yanzhou responded, "But when I get back, Mom will probably give me a good scolding."

Xia Yuhuan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, confused: "Why would I cut you down?"

"Did you come to the disaster area to find me and help with disaster relief because you were worried that your leg hadn't healed?"

"Don't worry, I'll be on your side and testify for you, saying that your leg is completely healed and there's no problem at all."

"With me here to help you, Mom definitely won't say anything."

Xia Yuhuan's confident demeanor prompted Chi Yanzhou to chuckle softly.

“It’s not this,” Chi Yanzhou said. “You’ll find out when the time comes.”

Xia Yuhuan frowned upon hearing this: "If it's not because of this, then what else could it be?"

Aside from this, there's nothing else to complain about, right?

But since Chi Yanzhou wanted to keep it a secret, Xia Yuhuan didn't bother to ask further.

She leaned lazily on his shoulder: "Since you're not going to say anything, then forget it. I'll just take a nap."

She had consumed too much energy during that period, even though she had been replenished by the spiritual spring water.

However, the effects of lack of sleep on the body have not been eliminated.

So much so that whenever she had free time, she just wanted to sleep.

Just like a pig.

"Okay, go to sleep. We still have several days of travel to get back," Chi Yanzhou said softly.

After wandering around for another three days, the group finally returned to the military hospital.

After arriving at the military hospital, Yan Hu drove Chi Yanzhou and Xia Yuhuan home.

Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya were already waiting for the two at home.

Upon seeing the two return, Zhang Xianya quickly walked forward.

"Oh, Xiao Huan, you're finally back! You scared your mother to death! Let me see you."

As he spoke, he pulled Xia Yuhuan around, swaying her left and right, and looked her over thoroughly.

Then, with a look of concern, she said, "Look at you, you've lost weight lately."

Chi Shaokang said, "My daughter went to help the disaster area. She wasn't eating or sleeping well, so it's normal that she lost weight. Did you think she went out for fun?"

Zhang Xianya glared at him fiercely.

"How dare you say that? How could you let Xiao Huan do something so dangerous?"

Xia Yuhuan quickly said, "Mom, this has nothing to do with Dad. I went to participate on my own initiative."

"Moreover, although we are both in the military region, we are in the medical system, which is not the same system as Dad. Personnel deployment is not under Dad's control."

Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang nodded repeatedly: "That's right, that's exactly it."

So to say that he sent Xia Yuhuan out to suffer is really wronging him.

When he saw Xia Yuhuan on the list, he felt a headache coming on and wanted to stop her.

In his mind, he himself was willing to sacrifice his life for the country and the people, but his family was not.

Family is both armor and vulnerability; he always hopes they can be happy and carefree.

"And you too! You went with her, so why didn't you take good care of Xiao Huan? She's gotten so thin! Huh?"

As Zhang Xianya spoke, she reached out and hit Chi Yanzhou.

"You can't even take care of Xiao Huan, what are you going there for? To be a burden? Huh?" Zhang Xianya said angrily.

Chi Yanzhou was not surprised by this.

He looked at Xia Yuhuan, raised an eyebrow, as if to say: See? This is what I didn't finish saying before.

"Mom, it's my fault, it's all my fault. Please hit me gently, don't hurt my hand." Chi Yanzhou dodged the blow.

Xia Yuhuan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Chi Yanzhou's expectant expression.

She suppressed a laugh and quickly stepped forward to pull Zhang Xianya away.

"Mom, please don't hit him. This has nothing to do with him, really."

"I went there for disaster relief, so I was very busy and it's normal that I lost a little weight. As long as it doesn't affect my health, that's fine."

Zhang Xianya, who was being pulled by her, immediately stopped and instead pulled Xia Yuhuan into the house.

"Xiao Huan, come on, let's go inside. Mom has prepared a lot of dishes, all of which are your favorites."

“Look how thin you’ve gotten lately, you’re just skin and bones. Now that you’re back, I’m going to make sure you get properly nourished and regain your weight,” Zhang Xianya said.

Chi Yanzhou and Chi Shaokang lagged behind.

Chi Shaokang: "You brat, you made the contact and ran away. You're quite capable."

"It's alright, it's alright. It was delayed for a few days because we were trying to get out of your control," Chi Yanzhou said modestly.

Chi Shaokang rolled his eyes at him, his gaze falling on his legs with some concern.

How's your foot? Are you alright?

"Don't worry, Dad, I'm all better now. My wife says I'm fine and there are no aftereffects at all."

Chi Shaokang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "That's good."

The family of four sat at the dining table eating, and Zhang Xianya put food into Xia Yuhuan's bowl.

"Xiao Huan, eat this pig's trotter. Isn't it your favorite? I made it especially for you. See if it tastes good."

"And this spicy chicken, try it and see if you like it."

Xia Yuhuan quickly said, "Okay, I'll eat, I'll eat everything. Mom, don't just keep putting food on my plate, you should eat too."

"I'm eating very well at home every day, so don't worry about me, go ahead and eat," Zhang Xianya urged her.

Faced with her enthusiasm, Xia Yuhuan could only obediently reply with an "okay" and lower her head to eat.

While eating, the tip of her nose felt a little sore.

In her previous life, although she was adopted by her grandfather, she was still quite lonely and did not experience any family affection.

In this life, she married Chi Yanzhou and entered the Chi family. Her parents-in-law raised her like their own daughter, making up for her regret of having no parents.

In this life, she has family, love, and friendship, which makes her originally flawed life complete.

"Xiao Huan, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Is the food not to your liking? Or is the chili in the spicy chicken too spicy?"

Zhang Xianya noticed that she kept her head down and didn't look up. Upon closer inspection, she realized that she was crying and was immediately frightened. She quickly asked her what was wrong.

Chi Yanzhou, who was standing to the side, took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xia Yuhuan to wipe her tears.

He vaguely understood why Xia Yuhuan was crying, so he remained silent.

Xia Yuhuan took the handkerchief, looked up at Zhang Xianya, and forced a smile.

"Mom, it's not that the food doesn't suit my taste, or that the spicy chicken is too spicy, I'm just so touched."

"Having parents like you and Dad is truly a blessing from God. I just couldn't help myself, so I said this."

"These are tears of joy, not tears," Xia Yuhuan said, sniffling, her voice thick with emotion.
