Just as Chen Xihua hung up the phone, it rang again; it was her older sister.
It turned out that Chen Chunhua had a nightmare last night and couldn't sleep well.
She started making phone calls as soon as she got up in the morning, worried about her husband and her second sister.
I don't know what happened to my husband.
But she couldn't get through to her husband on the phone, and only received a text message from him saying that he was fine, had a new task, and couldn't call.
But Chen Chunhua was still a little uneasy, so she asked her mother-in-law to call her father-in-law.
Commander Zheng already knew about his son Zheng Dao's thigh injury.
To avoid causing their pregnant daughter-in-law any misunderstanding, Zheng's parents chose to keep it a secret.
Chen Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief when her in-laws told her that her husband was alright, but a sense of unease still lingered in her heart.
Then she wondered, could something have happened to her second sister?
Chen Xihua listened to her elder sister's words but did not intend to hide them, otherwise, it would only make her elder sister overthink things.
She said tactfully, "Yes, my second sister did suffer a minor injury, but it's nothing serious. She completed the mission very well and will need to rest for a while."
"Big sister, don't worry. Second sister always says she'd be embarrassed to admit she's a soldier if she didn't get hurt."
Upon hearing Xiao Wu's tone, Chen Chunhua was truly relieved.
Her husband's family, the Zheng family, is not enough for now; her own family, Xiao Wu, understands her well.
The Zheng family meant well and didn't want their daughter-in-law to worry, but given Chen Chunhua's personality, not knowing was what worried them the most.
After comforting her eldest sister, Chen Xihua sent a text message to her second sister and Lu Zhengjing to say hello.
The lieutenant general said that the wounded should rest and receive treatment in the hospital, and it would be best not to disturb their rest as much as possible.
......
During the Spring Festival of 2003, some people enjoyed a happy family reunion, while others were secretly investigated.
Early on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the entire Mo family was taken away.
Even during the Spring Festival, the Mo family's affairs were so significant that they still attracted attention from all sides.
Colluding with foreign enemies, betraying the nation and country, and harming the interests of the nation.
While no detailed information was released to the public, ordinary people had heard rumors, and in Beijing, it was practically common knowledge.
In just a few days, all of the Mo family's businesses were investigated and liquidated, including their overseas operations.
"Unexpectedly, less than a year after returning to China, the Mo family ran into big trouble."
I suspect the Mo family might have run into trouble overseas, which is why they've come back to China to cause trouble.
"While I don't reject people of Chinese descent or overseas Chinese returning to China, I hope our country will maintain a degree of vigilance towards them."
"Therefore, I do not agree with my daughter studying abroad; it is a sign of blind worship of foreign things."
I heard that there's a branch of the Liu family named Liu Jun, who tried every means to leave the country but was arrested. It turns out he was a spy who betrayed state secrets.
"We cannot generalize and condemn all people. We should learn from the barbarians' strengths to control them. Our country has been a member of the WTO for several years now, and it is no longer the closed country it once was."
"You know, it hasn't been long since the Liu family's affair, and now the Mo family's affair has come up again."
"Oh dear, it seems Liu Wenqing and Mo Ziqin used to have a good relationship. Mo Ziqin was even Liu's future son-in-law. Birds of a feather flock together, it seems."
"Well, you're behind the times. Mo Ziqin had that scandal before the new year."
On New Year's Eve, the old man of the Liu family went to the Mo family.
The Liu family proposed annuling the engagement, but it seems Mo Ziqin hasn't agreed yet. This time, he has no choice but to agree.
"It seems that Mo Ziming, the eldest son of the Mo family who is a celebrity, was released the next day. It turns out that there is a kind-hearted member of the Mo family who was implicated."
"We should refrain from gossiping about other people's affairs. In short, we want to express our gratitude to our People's Liberation Army."
I have a rumor that recently, an international criminal gang of eleven people smuggled themselves into the country.
They were all ruthless and vicious individuals. Our military lured them out, dispatched elite forces, and through a battle of wits and courage, finally captured them all.
"Therefore, we must unite all forces, strive for progress, and stand together against external threats..."
"......"
Adults don't experience the same carefree Spring Festival as children.
After the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, many businesses resumed operations one after another.
Rich people don't feel anything, but poor people dread the New Year the most.
Chen Lao Er and Li Yu Mei had the happiest New Year.
Neighbors, whether they know them or not, will greet them warmly when they meet in the community: "Hello, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen."
On the morning of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Xihua prepared to leave for work.
For the first half of that year, she had already decided to stay at the group headquarters.
Although it wasn't time for school to start yet, Chen Xiuhua went with Xiao Wu to visit her older sister in the provincial capital before returning to school in Beijing.
Before they set off, at the entrance of Sunshine Community, Chen Lao Er, Li Yumei, and Chen Baohua reluctantly saw the two sisters off.
Chen Lao Er: "Xiao Wu, drive carefully. Xiu Hua, when you go back to school and the research institute, remember to rest and don't just focus on studying."
Chen Xiaoliu jogged after the car for a while and said, "Fourth Sister, goodbye."
Fifth sister, I heard that the college entrance exam will be held a month earlier this year, so I can come visit you soon!
"Okay, I'll come pick you up then. Xiao Liu, you can go back now!"
Chen Xihua drove with one hand, while waving the other hand out to signal him to go back.
That noon, we arrived at Cuishan Garden in the provincial capital and had lunch at my eldest sister's house.
As always, Zheng's mother warmly welcomed them, cooking a table full of dishes, mostly seafood.
"Xiao Wu, Xiu Hua, you two eat more."
Chen Chunhua, heavily pregnant, felt uncomfortable whether sitting or standing; she was simply exhausted.
Perhaps because pregnant women are more sensitive, Chen Chunhua complained to her two younger sisters after dinner.
He said Zheng Dao lied to him, saying he was injured but pretended to be fine.
As she spoke, her eyes began to redden: "I was so worried, I couldn't sleep at night..."
Or perhaps, because she hadn't been back to her parents' home for a whole year, and it was during the Spring Festival, Chen Chunhua was emotionally vulnerable.
Now, as soon as he saw his two younger sisters, he started chattering on and on.
"Big sister, don't cry, otherwise my two little nephews will become little crybabies."
Chen Xihua pretended to be a little nervous and tried to scare her.
Chen Xiuhua and Zheng's mother stood by, offering various words of comfort.
The three sisters chatted for half an hour, then Chen Xihua and her fourth sister made an excuse to go back to her house.
If I stayed at my eldest sister's house any longer, she could talk for an entire afternoon without taking a break.
That evening, Ning Wenfeng came to pick up Fourth Sister and take her to the Ning family home.
He arrived in Yun City, South Province this morning. Before that, he was in Beijing, where he was spending the Lunar New Year with Grandpa and Grandma Ning.
The purpose of this trip to the southern province is twofold: first, to pick up Chen Xiuhua and bring her back to school; and second, to visit her parents.
Originally, Ning Wenfeng intended to go directly to Gaoyang County to pay New Year's respects to Chen's parents.
However, Chen Xiuhua told him not to bother, since the Chen family would probably move to Beijing by the end of the year anyway.
The main reason is that this year, many people have come to pay New Year's visits to the Chen family. Starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, people have been coming every day, morning, noon, and evening.
The three sisters were getting annoyed, so they hid in a house near Thunder Mansion.
The household affairs were handled by Chen Lao Er and Li Yu Mei, who were more than happy to do so.
After her fourth sister left, Chen Xihua grabbed her pajamas and went to take a shower.
As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she received a call from Lu Zhengjing. After a week of rest, he was fine.
