Just two days after Little Tangyuan's birth, the He family received a call from the garrison. It was Political Commissar Li calling. When He's mother answered the phone and heard what Political Commissar Li said, her face turned pale, and it took her a while to find her voice: "My son, is he...is he alright?"

"He's still alive, just injured, and currently receiving treatment in the hospital. He's a bit emotionally unstable, and we hope his wife can come over to see if it will help," Political Commissar Li explained his purpose.

Mrs. He said she understood: "Okay, I'll go to the school to find her now, and I'll call you back when she gets back."

Political Commissar Li hung up the phone.

Little Rice Cake blinked her big eyes: "Grandma, is that Daddy? Did something happen to Daddy?"

Mother He forced a smile: "It's okay, Dad is fine. You stay home, Grandma will go find Mom."

Little Rice Cake pouted, didn't cry, and nodded obediently: "Grandma, go find Mommy. I'll stay home and be good. I won't cry or make a fuss."

As she spoke, she wiped away a tear, trying to appear strong.

Seeing this, how could Mrs. He bear to leave him at home!

Finally, Mrs. He took Xiao Niangao to school. Yun Jin had classes in the afternoon and saw Mrs. He and Xiao Niangao suddenly appear at the school.

Little Niangao, who was originally very strong, immediately became aggrieved upon seeing her, and tears streamed down her face: "Mommy, Daddy, he..."

Upon hearing the crying, Yun Jin had a bad feeling. Hearing her say "Dad" and seeing He's mother's solemn expression, Yun Jin's heart sank, and her legs went weak, making her unsure how to walk.

Knowing she had misunderstood, Mrs. He immediately reassured her, "Don't panic, don't panic, she's alright, just injured. You need to come over. She's still alive, don't scare yourself!"

Yun Jin: "......"

That's not a fair scare tactic!

Not knowing when she could return, Yun Jin took a long leave and was about to leave with her child.

He Lifang chased after her, saying, "I'll take notes for you."

Yun Jin smiled gratefully: "Okay!"

He Lifang then said, "Your man will be fine."

Yun Jin nodded, and with Mother He and Little Rice Cake in tow, she rode her bicycle back home.

Once home, Yun Jin immediately dialed Political Commissar Li's office: "What happened to He Tingchuan? Where is he now?"

Political Commissar Li didn't hide anything: "His eyes were damaged by poison gas, and he's staying at the provincial military hospital. If you're alright, come to the hospital as soon as possible. He's in a bad mood and needs your help to comfort him."

Yun Jin breathed a sigh of relief. At worst, she would just go blind; nothing else mattered. "I understand. I'll head to the train station in a bit."

Political Commissar Li nodded: "I'll send someone to pick you up at the station."

Yun Jin nodded, hung up the phone, told He's parents what had happened, and then prepared to pack her bags and leave.

Mrs. He was at a loss. Looking at Yun Jin packing her things, she asked, "Should we bring the rice cake?"

Little Rice Cake was afraid of being left behind, so she clung to Yun Jin's leg and said, "I want Aunt He to come with me to take care of Dad!"

Yun Jin took a deep breath to calm herself down: "Mom, come with us to take a look. You should also pack your things. We'll leave in half an hour."

Mother He's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay, Mom will go pack it right away. I'll have your dad buy three train tickets now."

Yun Jin nodded.

Little Rice Cake was relieved; she hadn't been left behind. She immediately packed her things.

Little Bean Bun watched them pack their things, biting Yun Jin's clothes, wanting to go too.

Yun Jin patted the dog's head: "Doubao, be good. We can't take you this time. Stay home with Grandpa and don't run around. We'll come back soon."

Little Bean Bun: "Woof woof woof..."

Even the dog wants to go.

She did not wear a cloud-patterned collar.

Knowing that Mrs. He and Yun Jin were going out, Mr. He didn't say anything. He made a phone call to have someone buy train tickets, and then led the three of them to the station: "Tell He Tingchuan that my son is not weak. Tell him to come back to see me alive."

Yun Jin nodded.

Little Rice Cake instructed, "Grandpa, keep an eye on Doubao and don't let it run around. Mom said some people like to eat dog meat, so don't let it get eaten."

Mr. He nodded.

Little Bean Bun watched the three people board the train and excitedly wanted to follow, but Father He pulled it back. Watching the train drive away, Bean Bun cried out in frustration.

Mr. He said, "What do you want to call them? We'll wait at home. They'll come back eventually. Don't worry, I don't eat dog meat."

Little Bean Bun: "Woof woof..."

Mr. He had someone buy soft sleeper tickets for Yun Jin and the others, complete with food and drinks.

The three of them felt like they were living through an eternity on the train. Little Niangao lost her usual joy and happiness on train trips, and she was worried about her father.

The old green train rattled along for almost forty hours before finally arriving in the provincial capital where He Tingchuan lived. The people arranged by Political Commissar Li came to pick up Yun Jin, and the train was labeled with her name.

As soon as Yun Jin came out, she saw the name on the wooden sign and led Mother He and the others over: "Is this Comrade Yun Jin?"

Yun Jin nodded.

The young man saluted and took their luggage: "The car is outside, come with me."

Yun Jin and the others followed, got into the military green jeep, and drove towards the provincial military hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the young comrade took their belongings to a guesthouse near the hospital, while Yun Jin and the others went directly to He Tingchuan's ward, where Political Commissar Li was waiting downstairs.

Upon seeing him, Little Rice Cake asked with tears in her eyes, "Uncle Li, where's my dad?"

Political Commissar Li pointed upstairs: "The results were just discovered. You can go and take a look."

Yun Jin nodded, and Mother He's steps became a little unsteady.

Yun Jin noticed He's mother's nervousness and fear, and supported her, saying, "It's okay, Mom. You'll see people soon. Don't scare yourself."
