Liu Zhenzhu's house doesn't leak, but it would still be better to reinforce it.

Along the way, they realized that quite a few houses in the family compound were leaking.

Some of them even got up in the middle of the night to repair the roof. After they finished working on it, it was already late. Sun Xiuhua invited everyone to her home to cook noodles.

Everyone was very informal. Ye Zhaozhao went to pick up the children in the afternoon, and Sun Xiuhua cooked noodles in the evening.

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan refused to eat, and Sun Xiuhua thought the two children were not feeling well.

"Zhaozhao, did they get caught in the rain?"

Ye Zhaozhao checked them over and found that they were not sick, then asked.

"Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, what happened?"

We saw Han Xiaoming walking home alone when we got out of school today.

He said his father was away on a mission, and he was home alone. We invited him over for dinner, but he didn't come.

Liu Zhenzhu instinctively tensed up when she heard Han Xiaoming's name, because Han Xiaoming was no ordinary person.

He is the son of Deputy Regiment Commander Han. Liu Zhenzhu said she took her daughter to school this morning.

I went to his house and saw that Han Xiaoming told her to get out, and the child was very upset.

Liu Zhenzhu waited until he went out and saw that he had successfully entered the school before returning.

"I heard from Deputy Regiment Commander Han that Xiaoming is taken care of by his neighbor's wife."

Whenever he goes on a mission, his neighbor's wife will take care of him, because she feels sorry for the child.

How can such a young child be without a mother? That's why I introduced two people to each other.

"No, I'd better go to his house and take a look."

Liu Zhenzhu couldn't put her mind at ease, wondering what would happen if the child went home.

What if she can't find her father and is starving? Let her go alone.

Sun Xiuhua was worried about the slippery road, so she suggested going together. Ye Zhaozhao thought about it.

Leaving behind the pregnant Zhu Cui and the children, everyone went to Deputy Regiment Commander Han's house.

When we arrived at Deputy Regiment Commander Han's house, the door was open, but there was hardly anyone inside.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the state of his home, realizing how carefree single men can be.

I've never seen Deputy Regiment Commander Han so casual; even the stove in his house is covered in dust.

We don't know how long it's been since we last fired a shot; we couldn't find Deputy Regiment Commander Han at his house.

I could only go to my neighbor's house, and as soon as I stepped out, I bumped into her.

The neighbor's wife saw that they were also looking for Han Xiaoming, so she said...

"Is Xiaoming missing?"

Knowing that Deputy Regiment Commander Han had gone on a mission, the woman next door was waiting for Han Xiaoming to come home for dinner.

He used to go to his own house by himself.

I prepared dinner today but waited for ages and it still didn't arrive. I was worried something might have happened to my child on the way.

My neighbor's sister-in-law went out to school, and only after she got there did she find out what was going on.

School had already let out, so she quickly ran back to see if Han Xiaoming had gone home yet.

When everyone learned that Han Xiaoming was missing, they started to get worried.

"Don't rush, let's look around first."

With such heavy rain, where could the child have gone by himself? Let's split up and search.

An hour later, everyone returned to the same spot, but still couldn't find the person.

Ye Zhaozhao felt they couldn't continue like this; it would get dark soon.

So I asked my neighbor, Han Xiaoming, if he had any friends and if he would go to a friend's house.

“Xiaoming is a bit withdrawn. He doesn’t go to anyone else’s house except ours. He usually just stays at his own house and ours.”

Ye Zhaozhao suddenly remembered that Deputy Commander Han had gone on a mission. She wondered if Han Xiaoming would go to see him.

"Zhaozhao, do you mean Han Xiaoming is in the military region?"

"Let's go look for it."

As long as there is hope, we will keep looking. The group went to the military region again, and after running around, Liu Zhenzhu finally found Han Xiaoming in a corner.

Han Xiaoming was shivering from the cold, and his clothes were all wet. Liu Zhenzhu tried to help him stand up.

The moment she touched his hand, Han Xiaoming pushed her away.

"Get away from me, you bad woman, I don't want you, I'm going to find my father."

When everyone heard the commotion and came over, they saw Han Xiaoming punching and kicking Liu Zhenzhu.

Liu Zhenzhu didn't say anything, and Sun Xiuhua, seeing this, quickly stepped forward.

"Take the child back first," Liu Zhenzhu said, then went to tell her neighbor that the child had been found.

Tell her not to worry, and when she got home, Sun Xiuhua cooked noodles for Han Xiaoming again.

Then I gave him the clothes that Tiezhu and Shazhu wore, and told him to stay there tonight.

The rain finally stopped the next day, and the military loudspeaker announced that a typhoon was coming.

Everyone was advised to take precautions. School was out for break, and Ye Zhaozhao was staying home with her child.

We closed all the doors and windows tightly, as we had bought a lot of food beforehand.

This came in handy; during the typhoon, Ye Zhaozhao stayed home and read books.

The children didn't fall behind in their studies at home, reviewing what their teachers had taught them.

Ye Zhaozhao would think of Gu Yunduan from time to time, wondering how he was doing now.

She's at home every day now and doesn't know how things are in the family compound. She can only hope that the typhoon will pass quickly and end in a week.

As soon as Ye Zhaozhao stepped outside, she saw Sun Xiuhua running towards her house.

"Zhaozhao, are you alright?"

Ye Zhaozhao said she was fine, and Sun Xiuhua was fine too. The two of them then went to find Zhu Cui and Liu Zhenzhu.

It was discovered that several houses in the residential compound were damaged by the typhoon.

Chu Kening and Jiang Qiu's house was among them. Jiang Qiu was away on a mission, and Chu Kening, being a pregnant woman, was unable to repair the house and had to find someone to stay with.

Chu Kening just hoped that Jiang Qiu could come back soon. Luckily, she was a light sleeper, otherwise it would be too late at night.

The house collapsed, and Liu Zhenzhu saw Chu Kening standing alone in front of it.

She didn't intend to help, because Chu Kening had only herself to blame, and the others acted as if they hadn't seen anything.

Upon learning that everyone was alright, Ye Zhaozhao was about to go home.

Then I saw a soldier running over.

"Sisters, the deputy brigade commander and the others have returned from their mission, but they were all injured."

So, Sister Ye, we'd like to ask you to come and treat the wounded."

Upon hearing that they were all injured, everyone became extremely anxious, and Ye Zhaozhao was also filled with apprehension.

All the way, I kept thinking about how Gu Yunduan was also injured, and I wondered how serious his injury was.
