After Xu Miaomiao finished her work, she walked towards the military compound where her grandfather lived.

On the way, she found a deserted alley, entered the space to get the things she had prepared last night, and caught a big carp weighing three or four pounds in the lake.

The inconvenience of this space is that although no one needs to go in with her to store things, she has to go in personally to get things.

Xu Miaomiao arrived at the military compound. Since she came here often, the guards on duty knew her and let her in directly.

When Xu Miaomiao arrived at Xu's house, Xu's grandparents were discussing what to eat for lunch.

Normally, the country would arrange a serviceman for people of their level after retirement, but Grandpa Xu wanted to make it easier for him to move around, so he still did the cooking himself.

The two old people were very happy to see their granddaughter whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

"Look at you, you need to bring so many things to see us, you don't have anything at home!" Grandpa Xu deliberately put on a stern face and scolded Xu Miaomiao. If you ignore the upturned corners of his mouth, he looks quite majestic.

Grandma Xu was much more honest than him. "Oh, how much stuff did you take? Our baby must be exhausted."

Grandma Xu helped her put down everything as she spoke, and her eyes lit up when she saw the piece of cloth she was holding.

Xu Miaomiao quickly picked up the fabric and measured it on her body. "This color really suits grandma! Others don't have this temperament."

Grandma Xu was so coaxed by her that she smiled happily and kept praising her granddaughter for being thoughtful.

When Grandpa Xu heard that his granddaughter had brought something specially for the old woman, he could no longer maintain his aloofness and peeked over to see what she had brought for him.

Xu Miaomiao couldn't help laughing when she saw her grandfather's childish behavior. She didn't have the heart to make the old man anxious anymore.

He quickly picked up a bottle of medicinal wine and said, "This is the medicinal wine I asked an old Chinese doctor to make. Grandpa, if you feel pain again when it's cloudy or rainy, just apply this. It works very well."

This is true. In her previous life, she was beaten by that scumbag and many of her injuries were not properly taken care of. She couldn't sleep because of the pain when it was cloudy or rainy.

Later, Chen Chen found some medicinal wine from someone and applied it on the affected area, and the pain immediately subsided.

Grandpa Xu fought on the battlefield when he was young and had many hidden injuries on his body, so this is the perfect thing for him.

Grandpa Xu also smiled as he held the medicinal wine. No matter whether it worked or not, he was very happy that the child was thinking about him.

Xu Miaomiao gave them the elderly milk powder she brought with her (after tearing off the packaging) and told them to drink it as it was good for their health.

Grandpa Xu looked at the fish she brought and was eager to try it. He said he would show them his skills at noon.

It’s true that Grandpa Xu’s cooking skills are amazing. Xu Miaomiao’s belly was bulging after eating so much.

Grandma Xu asked tentatively, "Miaomiao, are you staying here tonight?"

Ever since his daughter left, the child has been depressed. He no longer stays overnight at home and smiles less often.

After hearing her grandmother's cautious and tentative tone, Xu Miaomiao felt a little sad. Her grandparents only had two children, her mother had passed away, and her uncle was living in H Province with his family. The two old people were bound to be lonely.

"Okay!" Xu Miaomiao smiled with two dimples, "Then I'll live in mom's room!"

"Oh, good!" Seeing that Xu Miaomiao had finally recovered from her pain, Grandma Xu clapped her hands happily, "The quilts in that room are all clean. You can just live there. You don't have to clean up."

Xu Miaomiao didn't sleep much last night and was so sleepy in the afternoon that she had a good sleep in her room.

The Xu family's house was a two-story building. When she woke up and came downstairs, her grandparents had already prepared dinner and were waiting for her at the table.

Because he was happy that Xu Miaomiao was staying here tonight, Grandpa Xu showed off his cooking skills, cooked a table full of delicious dishes, and even happily had a drink.

Xu Miaomiao looked at Grandpa Xu and remembered that Chen Chen once said in his previous life that he saved her because his grandfather had done him a favor.

Xu Miaomiao asked curiously, "Grandpa, do you remember a soldier under your command named Chen Chen?"

Grandpa Xu narrowed his eyes and searched for the name in his mind. It took him a long time to reply, "Why did you think of asking him?"

Xu Miaomiao chuckled, "No, I just heard from others that you helped him, so I asked out of curiosity."

"Hey, it's not me who's helping him, it's him who's helping our family!"

"Huh?" Xu Miaomiao was a little slow to react. How could this be different from what she knew?

"When you were fifteen, you were spotted by human traffickers and nearly sold into the mountains. It was Chen Chen who saved you."

Xu Miaomiao was so shocked by the news that he couldn't recover for a long time. He was indeed almost abducted that year.

She was frightened and stayed in the hospital for a long time. She only knew that the person who saved her was a soldier, but her grandfather and brother told her not to worry about it, so she didn't ask.

I didn't expect that the person was actually Chen Chen. This was a life-saving favor, so I have another reason to get close to him.

Xu Miaomiao thought about it and smiled smugly in her heart.

Xu Miaomiao didn't dare talk to her grandfather about Chen Chen anymore, fearing that the old man might notice something was wrong, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Grandpa and grandma, I've signed up to go to the countryside as an educated youth, and I'll be leaving in a few days."

Grandma Xu was so shocked that her chopsticks dropped. She slammed the table and stood up, "Did those two bastards Xu Jianshe and Wang Jinhua bully you?"

"Do they think there's no one left in our Xu family? We two old people are not even dead yet! How dare they force you to go to the countryside!"

As Grandma Xu said this, she was about to go out to settle the score with Xu Jianshe and Wang Jinhua. Grandma Xu was a typical Jiangnan girl, and she usually spoke softly to everyone.

It's rare to see her so angry.

"No, Dad has already prepared a job for me, but I just don't want to go."

Xu Miaomiao quickly spoke up for her father, fearing that if she spoke too late her grandfather would rush to the textile factory and break his legs.

After hearing her explanation, Grandma Xu was skeptical. "Why did you want to go to the countryside? It's so hard. Can you bear it?"

Xu Miaomiao was choked by her grandmother's suspicious look. Not to mention, she really couldn't stand it now.

For the first seventeen years of her life, she basically did no work. The hardest thing she did was learning grappling techniques from her brother when she was a child.

"Oh! It's because I feel that I am too pampered, so I want to go to the countryside to exercise!" Xu Miaomiao hugged her grandmother and acted coquettishly.

"You have to trust me! I can definitely take care of myself!"

Xu Miaomiao almost swore to the sky before the two old people believed that Xu Jianshe was not so conscienceless as to bully the child.

But they were also worried about how she would live in the countryside. Neither of them had the appetite to eat, and they were discussing what to prepare for her.

Xu Miaomiao tried to interrupt several times to say that she had everything, but the two of them tacitly ignored her.
