Chapter 315 The Fourth Brother is Back 4

Chen Jianjun had seen many life-and-death situations on the battlefield, and he was known for his resilience and ability to shed blood but not tears. However, upon hearing the word "Dad," his eyes instantly welled up with tears.

He threw his bag on the ground and took out all the canned meats inside: "Your grandma said you love canned meat, so Dad brought some back for you."

"Thank you, Dad."

Seeing so many cans of food, Helian Jiao grinned happily, her chubby cheeks puffing out slightly, making her even more adorable and cute.

Seeing her happy, Chen Jianjun couldn't help but show a silly father's smile. His daughter's smile was so beautiful!

"Alright! It's good that you're home. Come in and sit down so we can chat!" After the joy of the reunion, Ma Xiulian invited Chen Jianjun to come inside and sit down so they could talk.

Chen Jianjun, holding his little daughter's hand and leaning on his crutches, walked into the house.

Ma Xiulian immediately poured him a bowl of boiled water, her gaze falling on his leg, a hint of pain appearing on her face: "Fourth brother! What happened to your leg?"

Chen Dazhu also stared silently at his legs, opened his mouth, put his pipe in his mouth, and took a deep drag.

Chen Jianjun said in a relaxed tone, "It was broken, but it's been reconnected. If you're lucky, you'll be able to walk like a normal person!"

If you're unlucky, you might end up with a slight limp.

But none of that matters; he's already grateful to have survived.

What's more, he also has such a lovely daughter.

Although the elderly couple were heartbroken, they were content, because being alive was the most important thing!

Ma Xiulian then asked, "So, will you stay at home from now on?"

Chen Jianjun nodded: "Yes! Stay at home to fulfill your filial duties."

Even if his leg heals, he won't be able to go on missions anymore. He might as well go home and take care of his parents.

"It's so good to be at home!"

The brothers nodded in agreement, thinking that they could help each other out more in the future.

They all understood his unspoken meaning and couldn't help but sigh. Joining the army did indeed offer high salaries, but it was also too dangerous!

Luckily, they adopted a lovely child; otherwise, it would be difficult for the cripple to find a wife.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mei and Liu Lanzhi felt a little sorry for their little niece, worried that she would have to live a hard life with Lao Si in the future.

After all, in the countryside, people with leg problems can't do heavy work that earns them high work points.

Li Chunhua, however, was filled with relief.

Fortunately, the family will be splitting up soon, otherwise they would still be supporting a cripple who eats for free!

Only Zhou Zhaodi sat calmly to the side, not worried at all that her little niece would suffer.

My darling is a natural fairy. The meat that God often gives her is enough to fill her stomach, not to mention that Young Master Gu gives her canned beef and White Rabbit milk candy every day.

Jiang Manyun, the future mother-in-law, would bring back hearty dishes and large meat buns from the state-run restaurant for her little niece every few days.

At this moment, Ma Xiulian, who was completely relieved, stood up by supporting herself on the table and said, "Alright! You must be tired after sitting in the car for so long. Go wash your face and rest. I'll make up your bed."

After washing his face and feet, Chen Jianjun wanted to hug his little daughter and get closer to her, but his mother forcefully sent him back to his room to sleep.

"It's no big deal to miss this little bit; we can see each other every day from now on!"

There are bloodshot eyes; it's been so long since I've had a proper night's sleep.

Chen Jianjun had no choice but to obediently lie down on the bed. "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Perhaps she was truly exhausted, for she lay down in the familiar room and quickly fell asleep.

Ma Xiulian peeked at him and saw that he was asleep. She picked up her little granddaughter and said happily, "Grandma's little darling, let's wash our faces and brush our teeth, and then soak our feet in hot water."

The reason why the fourth brother returned in this chapter won't be explained in too much detail; you know why, we need to be discreet and cautious.
