The next morning, Huo Haocheng and his group set off for the military base.

In the morning, Ruan Ruan was in a much better mood while eating breakfast, humming a song as she peeled an egg.

"Why is Ruanruan so happy today?" Grandma, sitting next to her, asked, holding an egg. Was there something special about today's egg?

"I know, I know, Auntie must have had a wonderful dream last night, that's why she's so happy now," Xiao Mingxuan said, holding up an egg and answering his great-grandmother's question.

"Yes, Auntie dreamed that your uncle came back, so she was especially happy. How is our little Mingxuan so smart? He even knows that Auntie had a dream!" Seeing Mingxuan's excited look, Ruanruan, who was originally thinking about how to tell her grandmother and mother that Huo Haocheng and the others would be coming back in a few days, now had a great idea from Mingxuan.

"Hehehe, because Xiaomingxuan also had a dream last night. I dreamt that my dad and aunt came over and picked me up from school. I was so happy!"

Remembering what his great-grandfather had said before, that he would call his father and aunt over after they returned, Mingxuan had been waiting for the past few days, and he felt that his father would be arriving soon.

Hearing Xiao Mingxuan's words, it turns out he misses his family. Judging by the time, the Lan family should be setting off by now.

When she met Zheng Xuyang on the first day of school, she learned that her great-uncle had gotten medicine from Dr. Zhang at the factory. From the time they returned to the time they started taking the medicine, a week should have been enough. If it was effective, then her great-uncle and great-aunt would probably come together this time. That way, so that her great-aunt could focus on her treatment as soon as they arrived, Ruanruan thought she should clean up the house for them.

After breakfast, when Wang Qun was taking Xiao Mingxuan to school, Ruan Ruan told her to turn around and go to the factory to talk to Zheng Xuyang and the others, asking them to help prepare a three-bedroom house so that Lan Zhiyu and the others could move in directly after adding some daily necessities.

Five days later, on the morning of the same day, two trains pulled into Yuncheng Railway Station one after the other. The first train came from Sichuan Province. Just as Ruan Ruan had thought, in addition to the siblings Lan Chaoyang and Lan Chaoxi mentioned earlier, Lan Zhiyu and his wife Shen Peijing were also there.

Early in the morning, Lan Chaolin took leave and drove over to pick them up. Just a few minutes after they started driving, the train from Northwest China pulled into the station. After Huo Haocheng and the others got out of the car and counted the number of people, they took the car sent by the army to pick them up and went back to the army.

Lan Chaolin didn't stand on ceremony. After receiving the child, he immediately sent Ruan Ruan over. Ever since the news about the opening of the Hope Primary School came out, especially after the reporter reported Ruan En's speech, not only the communes under Yuncheng, but even several nearby cities outside Yuncheng have come to ask if their children could be sent to study through charitable organizations.

During this period, Lan Chaolin and his team have been extremely busy with these matters. Moreover, the autumn harvest is just over a month away, and there will be even more work to do then. Therefore, he is trying to save as much time as possible.

After dropping the person off, he said goodbye to Ruan Ruan and her grandmother, and then drove away.

Watching his car drive away, Lan Zhiyu was furious. "That brat!"

It's already past 10, almost 11 o'clock. Even if you're in a hurry, can you really be a little late? We're already at our doorstep. If we sit down for a while, will our butts get sores or something?

"Alright, you know the kid's busy with work," Shen Peijing patted Lan Zhiyu's arm, signaling him to be mindful.

"Sister-in-law, we've come to bother you again." At his wife's prompting, Lan Zhiyu turned around and started chatting with the old lady.

"What trouble? We're so happy you could come! You wouldn't believe it, but a few days ago, Xiaomingxuan even dreamed that you were here. He said his dad was picking him up from school and he was so happy. Now that you're here, he'll be so excited when he gets home from school!"

"Sister-in-law, it's been a long time! You're still so healthy. I can't compare." The old sisters met, one was healthy and capable, while she had trouble even walking. If it weren't for the medicine that Lan Zhiyu brought back to help relieve her pain, she really wouldn't have been able to come this time. Her body was in so much pain.

"You'll be alright, don't worry. There are the best doctors here." Hearing Shen Peijing say this, the old lady felt sad, but she remembered what Ruan Ruan had said before: if the medicine she brought back for Lan Zhiyu was effective, they would come this time. Now that they had come, it meant that the medicine was effective, and her health would get better sooner or later.

"Yes, sister-in-law is right, we should have hope." Lan Zhiyu felt uneasy after hearing his wife's words, but he also felt that the old lady was right.

"Sister-in-law, Ruanruan, come here, let me introduce you. These two are our grandson and granddaughter, Chaoyang and Chaoxi. This is my comrade-in-arms from when your grandmother and I were young. You can call her Grandma Huo. This is Ruanruan. Speaking of which, Ruanruan is a little older than Chaoxi, right?"

This really stumped the old man. He only knew that the two were born in the same year and were both 19 years old, but he couldn't remember their exact birth dates.

"Our Ruan Ruan's birthday is in early May. When is Chao Xi's birthday?" When the old lady heard Lan Zhiyu say this, she knew that Ruan Ruan was lost right after she was born and was not a very close person to her, so it really wasn't her actual birthday.

“Then Ruanruan is bigger. Our Chaoxi is Dongyue’s birthday,” Shen Peijing said in response.
