"Meow~"
"Awoo~"
Having been away from home for so long for the first time, Xiaohua and the little Tibetan fox missed Lu Fangfang terribly.
She ran all the way home, and the two little ones excitedly tried to jump on her.
"stop!"
"Little Flower, Little Yellow Dog, sit down and be quiet!"
Lu Fangfang was startled and quickly stopped them.
Her condition is special now, so she needs to be extra careful.
Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox, too, I don't know where they went this past week, they're so dirty.
Especially the little yellow dog, its yellow fur has almost turned grayish-black.
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox shook its body vigorously, looking extremely aggrieved.
It tentatively took a step forward, and seeing that Lu Fangfang did not stop it, it moved closer to her step by step.
Beside her, Xiaohua sat on the ground, looking up at Lu Fangfang expectantly.
"Hey, where did Zhuang Mingcheng take you all?"
Seeing the two little ones, Lu Fangfang's heart almost broke.
"Come here, come here, you're both good kids, but you've both worked so hard."
She reached out and stroked the two little ones, one on each side.
"Awooooo..."
The little Tibetan fox closed its eyes and nuzzled against her hand.
Thinking about the purpose of their trip, Lu Fangfang was still a little worried.
She knelt down and carefully examined the two little ones.
"You've lost weight! You've only been gone for a week, how did you get so thin?"
Touching Xiaohua's belly, Lu Fangfang almost burst into tears.
These two little guys aren't injured, but they've lost a lot of weight. Even their fur has lost its luster. You can tell at a glance that they must have suffered a lot this past week.
She craned her neck and glanced towards the entrance of the family compound, but found no sign of Zhuang Mingcheng.
"Xiaohua, where's Zhuang Mingcheng? Why hasn't he come back?"
"Meow~"
Xiaohua turned her head and looked in the direction of the group.
"Hmm? They went to the regiment, did they catch a spy?"
"Awoo~"
The little Tibetan fox sat proudly in front of her, its appearance even more eye-catching than Xiao Hua's.
Lu Fangfang immediately understood.
Seeing this, she felt relieved that the matter of the cigarette box had been resolved.
Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox didn't suffer in vain.
...
Hearing the commotion, Yang Yufeng rushed out from the neighboring courtyard.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw the snow leopard beside her turn its head to look at her, and she was so frightened that she quickly took a small step back.
After a few days, the snow leopard next door looks much more fierce and even more captivating.
The Tibetan fox, however, is still the same as before, with a very amusing appearance.
Composing herself, she hurriedly asked, "Fang...Fangfang, has my husband come back too?"
"I don't know anything about what happened in the group; I just saw them run back."
Lu Fangfang shook her head. She was feeling unwell and didn't want to continue the conversation.
"Little Flower, Little Yellow Dog, come in quickly."
She called out to Xiaohua and Xiaozanghu, and led them into the yard. Then she closed the gate behind her.
Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox were curious when they saw a pile of corn in the yard.
The two little ones stepped forward, sniffed the corn kernels, and tentatively took a bite.
"Stop eating this. You two wait here, I'll get something nice to eat right away."
Lu Fangfang picked up the enamel basin and quickly walked into the house.
She took some dried argali meat, dried wolf meat, and some dried small fish, and put them all into a basin.
Back in the yard, as soon as she put it down, the two little ones excitedly reached into the bowl and began to eat heartily.
"What kind of life have you two been living this past week? How come you're so hungry? Eat slowly, eat slowly."
Seeing the two little ones' expressions, Lu Fangfang couldn't help but feel a little angry.
If you didn't know better, you'd think Zhuang Mingcheng was taking them with him to beg.
She found a clean little basin, went inside to pour some warm water, and then placed it in front of the two little ones.
"You two shouldn't just eat, drink some water too."
"Meow~"
"Awoo~"
Lu Fangfang sighed and patted the little guy's head.
She let the two little ones eat first, then went back inside to get busy again.
First, boil some water. The two little ones are so dirty, Zhuang Mingcheng can't be much cleaner either. All three of them will need to take a bath soon.
She took some dried argali meat, washed it in a basin, and put it in the pot along with the yellow mushrooms she had picked earlier.
There were also quail eggs that had been boiled that morning on the table. She peeled them and put them in the pot to stew together.
The two hens at home have started laying eggs now, so she went to the small vegetable garden outside to cut some chives, planning to cook another dish.
She was busy when she heard a noise coming from outside the courtyard.
"Squeak."
Lu Fangfang put down what she was holding and hurriedly ran out.
"Fangfang, I'm back!"
Zhuang Mingcheng was still wearing the military uniform he had worn when he left home a week earlier.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were dry and chapped. Despite his physical exhaustion, he was still excited and thrilled.
"You...how did you get like this?"
Lu Fangfang stood in the yard, looking at her husband's condition, and felt heartbroken.
He had been to Xinjiang for several months before and wasn't this tired, which shows how much he suffered this week.
"It's okay, I'll be fine after a nap. Honey, I've missed you so much."
Zhuang Mingcheng strode up to Lu Fangfang, opened his arms, and hugged her.
Tears welled up in Lu Fangfang's eyes, and she hugged him tightly.
"Waaah, you've been gone for a week without a word. I was so worried!"
"Don't worry, I'm back now, aren't I? Your man is a combat hero in the regiment, and with Xiao Hua and Xiao Zang Hu by your side, catching a few spies is a piece of cake, isn't it?"
"Meow~"
"Awoo~"
Beside them, Little Flower and Little Tibetan Fox, having eaten and drunk their fill, chirped in agreement.
Zhuang Mingcheng was amused by the two of them.
He nodded to the two little ones, gently patted his wife's back, and greedily inhaled her scent.
He missed his wife terribly after being away for a week.
"I know you're amazing, you're a war hero, but I still can't help but worry..."
As they were talking, Lu Fangfang suddenly felt nauseous, "Ugh..."
Zhuang Mingcheng was taken aback, and then quickly let go of his wife.
He was so busy climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands that he didn't even change his clothes for a week, and he smelled terrible. No wonder his wife found it disgusting.
"Look at me, I'm so excited. Please don't mind, I'll take it off right now."
Zhuang Mingcheng took a few steps back, quickly stripped off his clothes, and threw them aside.
Completely naked, he picked up the iron bucket in the yard and poured it directly over his head.
"Splash!"
"No... I'm going to vomit..."
Lu Fangfang clutched her chest, gagging and waving her hands frantically.
"No, no, this is just morning sickness. Who's complaining about you?"
Zhuang Mingcheng: "..."
He wiped the water off his face, scratched his head, and grinned foolishly.
