Chapter 264 One Coaxes Another
But after thinking about it carefully, Lin Anan was not so worried anymore.
If it was a normal combat mission, then with Chu Mingzhou's combat experience, there would definitely be no problem.
Now is not the time to panic, she needs to stay calm so that she can better deal with what may happen next.
"I'll pick up Xiaolan and Xiaoyu in a while. You're all sweaty from rushing around. Just rest at home."
Lin Zihuai shook his head. He was still worried about his sister. With her by his side, he could at least keep an eye on her and comfort her. "Sister, I'm not tired. I'll go with you."
Seeing his insistence, Lin Anan had no choice but to agree, "Okay, it's only a few steps away anyway, it's good to go and cheer them up."
"Um."
After finishing their meal, the two of them went out.
Just as Lin Zihuai had said, everyone was in a hurry along the way, and many of the military families were obviously making temporary preparations.
"Sister, please help your brother-in-law prepare some luggage and dry food. The fried rice we had last time will be fine. It's easy to carry and light..." Lin Zihuai suggested in a low voice.
Lin Anan frowned slightly and nodded.
Soon the two arrived at the school.
Today is the final exam, and we will have a holiday after the exam. The students come out earlier than usual.
Lin Anan and Lin Zihuai were standing at the school gate waiting. There were obviously fewer parents around to pick up their children.
Lin Anan searched the crowd for Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu.
After a while, the two little guys appeared in the crowd.
Seeing that it was their sister-in-law who came, they all ran towards Lin Anan and Lin Zihuai happily.
"sister in law!"
"Brother Zihuai!"
The two shouted in unison.
Lin Anan greeted him with a smile, "How did you do on the exam? Were you nervous?"
Chu Minglan nodded, "I think I did well in the exam."
Chu Mingyu was not at all reserved, "I think I did very well in the exam."
"Okay, let's go home then~"
“Go home, go home!”
Children came out one after another, most of them were their classmates. After the last school bullying incident, most of them knew Lin Anan.
Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu received a lot of envious looks.
There's no way around it. At this age, everyone envies having a sister-in-law who protects them desperately.
And this sister-in-law is very powerful and beautiful.
Chu Mingyu held his head high, chest puffed out, raised his chin proudly, and walked home holding Lin Anan's hand. His voice was two decibels higher than usual.
Lin Anan has always been very cooperative, and she is very supportive even if the topic is childish.
Along the way, Lin Anan tried her best to appear relaxed and natural, not wanting the two little guys to notice anything unusual.
But she was always concerned about Chu Mingzhou's situation and wanted to ask him about it after he came back.
After returning home, Chu Minglan prepared to cook. Lin Zihuai refused to let Lin Anan enter the kitchen and went in to help himself.
"Your hands can't work, so don't try to be stubborn."
"Sister, I only hurt one hand, not both hands!"
Lin Anan couldn't persuade him, so she had to go with them.
As expected, Chu Mingzhou did not come back on time.
When the food was served, there was still no news from him.
"Come, let's eat first. Your brother is busy today, so we can just save some for him."
Lin Anan invited a few people to have dinner.
The two little guys didn't notice anything unusual. They kept talking about today's exam and reviewing it over and over again.
After dinner, Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu took the initiative to clean up the dishes, while Lin Anan sat on the sofa, looking towards the door from time to time.
Lin Zihuai came out of the kitchen and saw Lin Anan's appearance, feeling distressed.
He walked over to Lin Anan and sat down, and whispered, "Sister, don't worry too much. Your brother-in-law is a soldier, and this is a common thing."
Lin Anan barely pulled the corner of her mouth and nodded, "I know."
Seeing that she was not in the mood to talk, Lin Zihuai also sat quietly aside.
Chu Minglan came out after washing the dishes. Seeing the appearance of Lin Anan and Lin Zihuai, she felt a little confused. "Sister-in-law, Brother Zihuai, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
Lin Anan quickly put away her emotions and said with a smile: "It's okay, Xiaolan, we were just saying that your brother might be back late. You are tired from the exam today, so go wash up and have a rest early."
Chu Minglan seemed to sense something and sat down on the other side of Lin Anan, "Sister-in-law, is my brother going on a mission again?"
Lin Anan was obviously stunned!
"Yes, I do."
Chu Minglan was silent.
When she spoke again, she used words that even Lin Anan could not imagine...
"Sister-in-law, if my brother has to go on a mission or fight, don't be afraid, I will take care of you! We will guard this home and wait for him to come back."
The smile on Chu Mingyu's face disappeared, and he pulled a small stool and sat down at Lin Anan's feet, "Brother, are you going out again? Don't be afraid, sister-in-law, Brother Yu will protect you too."
Lin Anan felt her eyes sore instantly, and she reached out and touched Chu Mingyu's head, "Sister-in-law is not afraid! Sister-in-law will protect you too."
As Chu Mingyu was talking, he suddenly pursed his lips and there was a cry in his voice, "Well, big brother is different from mom and dad. Big brother always keeps his word. When he comes back later, I will ask him how many days he will be back."
When children are anxious, their speech tends to be confusing, but Lin Anan and the others understood what they said.
He wanted Chu Mingzhou to make a promise.
In Chu Mingyu's mind, his elder brother is a man of his word. If he says he will come back in a few days, he will definitely come back on time.
Lin Anan opened her arms, "Xiaoyu is right, we will ask later! Come, let sister-in-law hug you."
Chu Mingyu's eyes were red, he pursed his lips, and threw himself into Lin Anan's arms.
Now, the whole family refuses to go to sleep.
Lin Anan comforted the two children, stood up and went to the kitchen, "I'm going to make some dry food, you guys just sit still."
"Sister-in-law, let me help you."
"OK."
When Chu Mingzhou got home, it was already half past ten in the evening.
He thought everyone in the family was asleep, so he even opened and closed the door very quietly.
"Mingzhou!"
"elder brother!"
"Brother-in-law."
When Chu Mingzhou met the four people in front of him, he was stunned.
"It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lin Anan's eyes were red, and she quickly walked to Chu Mingzhou's side, her voice trembling uncontrollably, "I heard that... you guys are going on an emergency mission."
Chu Mingzhou hummed lightly, "Let's go in and talk."
"good."
Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu also came over, saying nothing, but their eyes were full of worry.
Chu Mingzhou glanced at the two of them and said, "What time is it? Go to bed quickly."
"elder brother……"
Chu Mingzhou looked normal, and his tone was extremely calm, "It's just a temporary mission. I'll be back in a few days."
"How many days will you be back, brother?"
"Half a month."
Chu Mingyu was obviously relieved.
Lin Anan winked at Lin Zihuai.
Lin Zihuai hesitated for a moment, then waved to Chu Mingyu, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm sleepy. Xiaoyu, let's go to bed with Brother Zihuai."
"Okay~"
Children are like this, they are simple-minded and easier to coax.
