Xia Jinnian took the political commissar and the deputy battalion commander to the dining room and sat down. On the dining table was a copper pot filled with red soup that was still boiling.

Xia Jinnian: "This is hot pot. Put all the ingredients in it and cook until they are cooked. If you like spicy food, sit at the table on the right. If you don't like spicy food, sit at the table on the left."

The political commissar and the deputy battalion commander looked at the ingredients in the pot with curiosity. There were meat, vegetables, potatoes, tofu, cucumbers, etc.

Xia Jinnian said, "Everyone, please sit down and start eating. Don't be so polite."

The political commissar picked up a piece of potato with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. "Hmm, this tastes so delicious! I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but this is the first time I've eaten something called hot pot."

Tang Shiyan: "Political Commissar, since it's delicious, you can eat more. When I'm free later, I'll ask my sister-in-law to come over and help, and we'll continue to cook hot pot."

Political Commissar: "Comrade Tang, it's embarrassing to always come to your house for dinner. Why don't you go to ours next time? It's just that our house is too small."

"We don't have as many tables, chairs, and benches as you do. When the time comes, we'll have to move yours over and use them."

Tang Shiyan: "Political Commissar, it's so troublesome to carry it up and down. If you feel embarrassed, just ask your sister-in-law to bring some vegetables over."

Everyone was eating hot pot and chatting, and the atmosphere was very good.

Jiang Shumeng and the children sat at the table that did not serve spicy food. Since she did not like spicy food anyway, sitting at this table was just right so she could take care of the children.

Jiang Shumeng looked at the well-behaved and obedient children and started to have wild thoughts in her mind. She wished that her and Zhao Jie's children could be as obedient in the future.

Hey, what is she thinking about? Why is she thinking about the child all of a sudden? They have just learned about their horoscopes and haven't even started yet. Is she thinking too much?

It took almost an hour for everyone to put down their chopsticks. Everyone was very full after the meal. The hot pot was so delicious that they were reluctant to put down their chopsticks.

Li Qiuju, Jiang Muyan, and Jiang Shumeng quickly stood up to clean up the dishes, and then went home.

Jiang Shumeng cleaned the kitchen and dining room conscientiously and put the tables, chairs and benches in order before washing up and returning to her room.

She knew that her sister Tang and brother-in-law had something to say, so she didn't act like a third wheel and disturb them.

After everyone left, Xia Jinnian told Tang Shiyan that Commander Cheng had already prepared all the parts.

He asked her if she could still help him modify the car and the wooden cang now that she was pregnant. If that was not possible, she could wait until she gave birth to help him modify it.

Tang Shiyan: "Jinnian, those aren't physically demanding jobs anyway. I'm only less than two months pregnant, so I can still help with the modifications. Since I promised them, I can't break my promise."

Xia Jinnian: "Wife, you must take care of yourself. Let's take our time."

"You must be well-rested and get a good night's sleep every day before helping him fix it. After all, your health is the most important thing right now."

Tang Shiyan: "Jinnian, don't worry, I will take good care of myself and the baby in my belly."

In the Xie family compound in Beijing, after Xie Ping'an returned home and told everyone the news that he had found his granddaughter, everyone shed tears of joy.

Xie Tao: "Dad, is what you said true? We've been looking for our niece for over ten years, and now we finally have news?"

Xie Pingan: "Yeah, I am also... Old Man Xia showed Old Man Xiao and me the photo of his granddaughter-in-law today. We were also stunned when we saw the photo for the first time."

"That little girl looks exactly like your sister, so we are sure that she is Xiao Muxue."

"It just happened that the Xia family brat got away with it. He kidnapped my precious granddaughter and made her pregnant with triplets."

"I wonder what kind of life Mu Xue has lived over the past decade or so? Is she living a good life? Has she suffered any injustice?"

Xie Kai: "Dad, now that we have news about Mu Xue, let's go to the army and bring her back."

"The conditions in the army are so bad, and she's pregnant with triplets. How can she take good care of the baby there?"

Xie Pingan: "Your sister, your brother-in-law, and Mu Xue's cousin Xiao Yiting will take leave tomorrow to go to the army. I don't know if Mu Xue will recognize us."

"It's not certain whether we can bring her back, mainly because we have been separated for more than ten years."

Xie Xiaodong: "Dad, don't worry, I believe Mu Xue will recognize us. We have to give her more time. After all, we have been separated for more than ten years."

"It's understandable that Mu Xue can't accept it right now. As long as we give her enough time, she will recognize us."

Jiang Hongmei: "My poor granddaughter, I finally have news of you. I wonder how much injustice you have suffered in the past ten years?"

Xie Tao: "Mom and Dad, since we have news about Mu Xue, I will take a day off tomorrow and go see Mu Xue with my sister and brother-in-law.

"See if we can take her back. If she refuses to acknowledge us and doesn't come back with us, give her some money and buy her some nutritional supplements."

"Besides, aren't Xiao Yifei and Xiao Yixuan also in the army? They should be back soon from their mission. When they do, just ask them to take good care of Mu Xue."

Jiang Hongmei: "Yes, Tao'er, you can go with us. One more person on the road means one more person to take care of her. It would be best if you could bring my granddaughter back."

"I've been waiting for more than ten years, and now I've finally found her. I can't wait to go to her, but it's inconvenient for me to take a car, so I won't go and cause trouble for you."

Xie Tao: "Mom, I understand. You and Dad should take good care of yourselves and wait for Mu Xue to come back."

"Second and third sons, you must take good care of your parents at home and wait for our good news."

"I see, big brother. I'm sure my sister will be very excited to hear this news. You must take good care of her along the way."

"Yeah, it's getting late, everyone should go to bed early."

The morning light was dim, the distant skyline gradually became clear, and a new day quietly arrived. Xia Jinnian quickly got up, washed, and made breakfast.

Since Tang Shiyan has been feeling sleepy recently and can't wake up no matter what, morning is the best time to sleep. Xia Jinnian cooked his own breakfast and went to work.

It was almost nine o'clock when Tang Shiyan woke up from her sleep. When she picked up her phone and looked at it, it was already nine o'clock. She was too sleepy.

I quickly got up, took a shower, changed my clothes and walked out of the room. I saw that Jiang Shumeng had already cleaned the house thoroughly, everything was neatly arranged, and breakfast was already prepared on the dining table.

Jiang Shumeng: "Sister Tang, you're up now. Come over for breakfast. I made dumplings, boiled eggs, and steamed buns."

"My brother-in-law had to go to work. He got up very early. By the time I got up, he had already finished breakfast. He told you to sleep a little longer and asked me not to disturb you."
