"Don't ask. I've already asked. They said they were on a mission. What kind of mission was it? Why did they leave so quickly? They usually come back to pack their clothes after a mission, but they left so suddenly without saying when they'll be back. It's really worrying! Girl, your man is a deputy brigade commander after all. Did you reveal any information?"

Lin Jiaojiao frowned, remembering Liu Kanglin's serious expression yesterday. "No, I didn't hear what Commander Cao said to him. Then the two of them left."

"So that's how it is."

Li Wenying felt a little disappointed, but when she looked up, she noticed Lin Jiaojiao's pale face, and then looked at her belly.

I felt a little regretful that I shouldn't have rushed here so rashly and said such a thing.

After all, Lin Jiaojiao is still pregnant. If she is not careful...

Thinking of this, he quickly straightened his expression, put on a smile, and returned to his usual self. He walked forward to support Lin Jiaojiao and returned to the house together: "But you don't have to worry too much. There is no war now. I guess they are going to catch some thieves again. This kind of thing is a piece of cake for them! You don't have to worry too much!"

"real?"

Zhang Xiao'e was actually quite worried.

It was far away before, so I didn’t know about it.

It is really disturbing to see that my son, who used to be around me so often, has suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"It's really okay, Auntie, don't worry! I've been married to the child's father for ten years, and have been neighbors with Ji Huaian for a long time. These two often go on missions every year. The turmoil in the past few years made it really scary every time we went out, but it's different now. The country is peaceful. It's just a matter of catching a thief or a speculator. They are probably just assisting the public security, and it won't be a big deal!"

Zhang Xiao'e finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Li Wenying said.

Lin Jiaojiao felt a little relieved. After all, she had checked the information in advance and found that nothing major had happened recently.

"By the way, I actually came here today to tell you something else!"

"What's the matter?" Lin Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows when she saw Li Wenying's gossipy expression.

"It's Zhang Yaxin, who competed with you for the teaching position before. She and her husband Liu Kanglin are clamoring for a divorce!"

"divorce?"

This melon is really big!

"Of course! It's a huge uproar right now. I heard Zhang Yaxin even went to the hospital. You see, this woman usually looks weak and frail, looking down on everyone, but I didn't expect her to be so capable of fighting and causing trouble!"

"What's going on? Why did it end up in the hospital?"

"It's all because she's jealous! She's so ignorant!" Li Wenying said with disdain, "What kind of personality does Liu Kanglin have? Who in the hospital doesn't know him? He had a soldier under his command who had an accident during a mission, leaving behind a pregnant widow. This woman was all alone on the island, so pitiful. Liu Kanglin, as the regiment commander, felt bad, so he took care of her a few more times. Everyone was innocent and aboveboard, but he went so far as to make a scene at the hospital. How shameful!"

“…” Ji Huaian thought of the scene when he met Liu Kanglin and Ren Mei at the hospital gate yesterday, and didn’t say much.

Li Wenying didn't notice his expression and continued to complain, "Zhang Yaxin is really something. I also heard that she hasn't gotten pregnant after such a long marriage because she doesn't allow Captain Liu to get close to her. It's terrible!"

"They've been married for quite some time, haven't they?"

"Yeah, no wonder Captain Liu doesn't want to stay at home. Well, just wait and see, I guess he won't make it this time!"

Lin Jiaojiao did not comment too much. After all, it was the couple's business, and whether they lived well or not had nothing to do with him.

Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, more than four months have passed.

Since Ji Huaian left that night, there has been no more letters.

During this period, people like Lin Jiaojiao and Li Wenying also went to the team to inquire.

But the result was always the same: they were going to carry out a secret mission and could not disclose the information for the time being.

After inquiring several times, the result was the same. Everyone calmed down and waited at home.

Lin Jiaojiao is getting older and older, and her body is getting heavier and heavier.

After all, she is pregnant with twins, so her belly is indeed much bigger than that of a normal pregnancy of more than eight months.

Recently, Zhang Xiao'e has been extremely nervous and needs someone to accompany her wherever she does things.

If she hadn't secretly run to the Women's Federation while she was out picking up the child today, people would definitely have followed her.

Wang Shuanglian looked at Lin Jiaojiao's bulging belly and joked with a smile, "I've never seen an eight-month pregnant woman running around. You're really wild! If I were your mother-in-law, I'd be worried sick!"

"It's okay, these two children are very well behaved and won't cause any trouble."

"He's quite well behaved. In the future, he'll definitely be as good as you and the deputy director! But seriously, you can't do this anymore. Listen to the doctor and stay in bed more often for the time being. As for those manuscripts you have, I've always emphasized that you should take your time. There's no time limit. If I were really anxious, I would just send someone to pick them up at your house. Why make such a wasted trip?"

"I can't stay at home anymore. If I keep staying like this, I'm going to go crazy. There aren't many people on the road at this time of year. The sea breeze is blowing, and I feel pretty good!"

"You!" Wang Shuanglian felt helpless.

She liked Lin Jiaojiao from the bottom of her heart and treated her as her own sister.

Boom boom boom!

"Director Wang, Comrade Lin, I'm sorry, I hope I didn't disturb you."

The two people in the office looked up at the same time when they heard the voice and saw Ren Mei standing at the door with a smile on her face.

Director Wang restrained his smile and returned to his usual gentle and rigorous working style: "Comrade Ren, come in."

"Hey!" Ren Mei immediately came in respectfully and stood in front of the desk, a smile still on his face. "I know Director Wang is usually very busy. I heard you were free today, so I rushed over. I didn't expect Comrade Lin to be here too. Looking at Comrade Lin's belly, I'm afraid she's about to give birth, right?"

"It's almost there." Lin Jiaojiao smiled faintly and didn't say much.

She didn't like this woman very much, especially after what happened some time ago, let alone having any good feelings towards her.

The gossip that Li Wenying had previously spread actually came true.

Zhang Yaxin and Liu Kanglin divorced.

This incident caused a sensation in the entire base at the time, and even the surrounding villagers heard about it. Until now, the rumors outside have not stopped.

It’s not that this matter is so new, but someone died!

Li Wenying said at the time that Zhang Yaxin went to the hospital to make trouble.
