Chapter 389 This Daughter-in-Law Doesn’t Seem That Bad

"Well, Captain Ji, have a safe trip! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

After saying this, the girl blushed and fled the scene in a panic.

After everyone left, Ye Ning, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, came out of the tent and teased in a frivolous way:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Boss, why am I not as popular with women as you are? I have also rescued several girls, why is no one looking for me? Oh, I am ashamed of myself, I am ashamed of myself."

"...." Ji Lianqi rolled his eyes at Ye Ning and said, "Then I'd rather not have it."

"Haha! People are different."

Ye Ning still looked bashful, "You got married at a young age, and my sister has been eyeing you for a long time. And I'm still single, I can be with anyone, but you can't. You can only hang yourself on a tree for the rest of your life!"

Ji Lianqi: “….”

At this time, He Peng, who still had a bandage on his head, came over and urged: "Are you two done? Hao Yonggang has been waiting for a long time, and he can't wait to go back and hug his son."

When He Peng led people to search and rescue in the collapsed teaching building, he was accidentally hit on the head by a heavy object.

He was ready to go back and be scolded by Liu Juan.

Before leaving, Liu Juan warned him repeatedly that if anything happened to him, he would be held responsible when he returned.

Ji Lianqi and Ye Ning put on their bags and said, "We are ready. We can set off now."

When the People's Liberation Army left, many people shed tears of reluctance.

In the biting cold wind, it was the People's Liberation Army in camouflage uniforms and the angels in white who worked tirelessly to rescue them from the brink of death!

Inside the military vehicle, Wei Hongxing looked out the window at the enthusiastic people crowding on both sides of the road, and the corners of his mouth curled up in satisfaction.

"You know what, Mr. Ji? Every time I feel like this, I find the meaning of joining the army again."

The unshaven Ji Lianqi turned his head to look at him, then turned back and closed his eyes to rest.

"Look at how scared you are. Your wife won't recognize you when you go back." Wei Hongxing couldn't help but laugh at him.

When Ye Ying was mentioned, Ji Lianqi's eyes, which had just closed, opened again.

"She's not here."

At the same time, a trace of worry unconsciously appeared between his brows.

Is she doing well abroad?

"Oh, I forgot you said she was abroad."

Wei Hongxing is also very concerned about his children and wife at home.

He did not forget Sun Lin's resentful look before he received the order to set out. He would probably have to give her a good scolding when he got back.

Wei Hongxing lowered his head and sniffed his body, frowning: "Alas, I haven't taken a shower for more than 20 days, I stink, and if my wife doesn't let me into the house when I go back, I'll be in trouble."

Sun Lin now dislikes him very much, and their status has changed drastically. It is really possible that she will not let him into the house!

"Then I think your worry is a bit unnecessary." Ji Lianqi glanced at Wei Hongxing speechlessly, then closed his eyes again to rest.

He was so tired during this period that he fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

I slept all the way like this, and when I returned to the military area, it was already dark.

The room was cold and empty.

The next day, Ji Lianqi asked for leave from Hao Yonggang and immediately bought a train ticket to return to his hometown in Gan Province.

It was at this time that Hao Yonggang and Political Commissar He learned from Xiu Lian that Ji Lianqi's father had passed away when he went to the disaster area to provide support.

The two looked at each other and immediately stood in awe.

Hao Yonggang suddenly remembered Ji Lianqi's uncharacteristic behavior that day. He must have just learned the news of his father's death at that time.

Luoxiao County, Gan Province.

When Wang Qiuhong saw her son suddenly coming back, she started crying again, wiping her tears and scolding him.

There are complaints about him between the lines.

Ji Lianqi felt deeply guilty about this, and the next day, the mother and son rushed to pay tribute to Ji Xingguo.

When he arrived at Ji Xingguo's grave, the usually strong Ji Lianqi finally shed two lines of tears.

Men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are heartbroken.

Even though I had prepared myself mentally on the way back, I didn't expect to be defeated at this moment.

Seeing this, Wang Qiuhong also burst into tears.

After returning home, Wang Qiuhong took out a passbook from the drawer and handed it to Ji Lianqi.

"Son, take this money back. Now that your father is gone, you don't need it anymore."

Ji Lianqi opened the passbook, which clearly showed that there was 100,000 yuan in it. "What is this money? Mom, I have never given this much money to my family."

He was sure he didn't give that much money to his family.

Except for the money he sent back home every month, he gave the rest to Ye Ying.

Wang Qiuhong felt confused after hearing this. "That's not right! Ye Ying said before that you gave this money to your father for his medical treatment! How come you didn't give it to him?"

"Ye Ying?"

A face appeared in his mind, and Ji Lianqi suddenly understood everything.

His heart was trembling slightly, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond to his mother.

After looking at the passbook and hesitating for a moment, he finally accepted it.

Two days later, at lunch time, Ji Lianqi told Wang Qiuhong that he was about to return to the army.

Wang Qiuhong looked reluctant and insisted that he stay for two more days.

"You always come and go in a hurry. This is your home, not a hotel!"

Ji Lianqi frowned, "Mom, I also want to stay and accompany you for two more days, but the troops are..."

"Troops, Troops, Troops, all you know all day long is Troops!"

Wang Qiuhong frowned and put down her bowl and chopsticks angrily, "Do you still have me as your mother in your heart? I don't care. This time you have to stay for a few more days before leaving, otherwise I will treat you as if I don't have a son."

Ji Lianqi was helpless: "Mom..."

"Stop it, Mom! Eat!"

Wang Qiuhong picked up the bowl and chopsticks and went to get another bowl of rice. "Eat more. I see you seem to be thinner than during the Chinese New Year. Didn't you eat well and sleep well these days in the disaster area?"

"It's not easy to come back, you should rest well before leaving. I don't believe that the troops can't do without you!"

Seeing the reluctance in his mother's eyes, Ji Lianqi felt a little bit sorry.

After her father passed away, even Aunt Chen moved to the city. She felt lonely staying at home alone.

Ji Lianqi took the mountain-like bowl of white rice, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement, "I'll call the leader later."

Wang Qiuhong immediately smiled with satisfaction: "That's right! These few days, you can eat well and sleep well at home, and don't worry about anything."

As he spoke, he put several pieces of meat into Ji Lianqi's bowl.

After watching Ji Lianqi finish eating obediently, he suddenly seemed to remember something and stood up abruptly: "Son, I asked Ye Ying to bring you food last time, but you probably didn't get to taste it, right? I'll make you some more."

"No, don't bother, Mom." Ji Lianqi held Wang Qiuhong, "I ate it. She came to find me after she returned from here."

"Oh, you've eaten? That's good." Wang Qiuhong wiped her hands on her apron and sat down again, mumbling something in a low voice.

Ji Lianqi had been well-trained over the years, and his excellent hearing enabled him to hear every word of Wang Qiuhong's muttering.

His mother said, "It seems that this daughter-in-law is not so bad after all."
