A knock sounded first at the courtyard gate.
The courtyard gate was open, and it was Xie Daliang and his wife with Xie Ying and her sister.
"Greetings, sir. I am Xie Daliang from the 3rd Company, 3rd Battalion, 6th Regiment."
He gave a salute with a smile, his face beaming.
Xiao Dan looked at the things in the couple's hands and roughly understood their purpose.
The daughter and son-in-law saved the two sisters, and they came to express their gratitude.
The couple is very honest; it seems their two children have chosen the right parents.
The incident a couple of days ago has become common knowledge. Xu Jianghai was muddle-headed, so it's no wonder the two kids are trying to find a way out for themselves.
"Come in."
Since the guests were guests, Xie Lin brought out the last of the fruit tea, which was only half a bowl for each person.
"Try it."
"Thank you," the four of them said in unison.
After finishing his tea, Xie Daliang directly stated his purpose.
"Commander, we've come to thank Deputy Regiment Commander Xie, Comrade Zhou Shi, and Chou Chou and Xiao Shi. I heard they've returned."
"Thanks to them for saving my two daughters, this is a small token of my gratitude. I hope you won't find it offensive."
Xie Guihua smiled and opened the two cloth bags, taking out the contents and placing them on the small table.
One can of malted milk powder, two cans of meat, two cans of fruit, a bag of candy, and a basket of eggs.
This gift is quite generous, and it represents how much Xie Daliang and his wife value their two little girls.
Xiao Dan told them to take it back, saying, "Anyone who encountered this would have saved it. There's no need for a thank-you gift. Take it back to nourish the children."
"Yes, yes, sir. These two children are the apple of my eye. You must accept them, or we will not be able to rest easy."
Xie Ying expressed her gratitude: "My brothers and sisters saved my sister and me. My sister and I will have our parents to love us from now on. Their kindness is immense, and it is only right that we give them a gift of thanks. Please accept it, sir."
These past few days, I've experienced firsthand how fortunate it is to have both parents who love you. If she hadn't been rescued, she and her sister would have suffered even more than they did in the Xu family. Just thinking about it terrifies me.
This is a new beginning; they gave me and my sister a new life. This small token of gratitude is too little. My parents' family isn't wealthy. We'll repay them more in the future when we're able to.
You should repay kindness; that's what my mother taught me, and she's always remembered it.
In the end, unable to dissuade the family of four from their insistence, he accepted the gift.
The four thanked the family again and left the Xiao family happily.
Zhang Tong sighed, "The two kids are so well-behaved. Xu Jianghai will regret this later."
Xiao Dan's eyes darkened. "A blessed person doesn't enter a door of misfortune. His regret has nothing to do with the two children."
His soldiers were fearless on the battlefield, risking their lives without hesitation, yet he managed to make a complete mess of his small family.
It would be a lie to say I'm not disappointed.
Life is tough on people, but even more so on the mind. To turn a broad road into a rugged path is a skill in itself.
After meeting Xie Daliang's family, Shishi grabbed two handfuls of fruit candies, asked Xiaoshi to take the radio, and led a group of friends to Building 2 of the family dormitory.
"Sister Cao, Sister Guo, Shishi is here."
The two families were setting out their bowls to eat when they each received a handful of candy. They invited each other to eat, but there were too many people and there might not be enough food.
Cao Liqing asked her husband to go inside and get the money: "Shishi, your sister-in-law went to the canteen to get some food. How about we eat together at your house?"
"No need, I'm just here to walk the chickens. My mom and aunt are cooking, I'll go back after walking the chickens."
Shishi skillfully moved two stools, one for herself and one for Chou Chou, who was holding Xiao Nannan.
There are too many younger brothers and not enough chairs, so the rest of you will have to stand.
Zhao Xiangting is Cao Liqing's husband. During the days of rescuing the coast guard personnel, he and Shishi and the others became quite familiar with each other.
"Comrade Zhou Shi, are you really not going to eat anything? I can buy some back soon."
"No need, my family has meat to eat. It's a specialty we brought back from G City. It's very fragrant and delicious meat. One bite of it makes you want to ascend to heaven."
Shishi deliberately spoke loudly, making a megaphone shape with her hands and pointing them towards 303.
Then, sitting on the stool, I turned on the radio and tuned it to a channel with music. The three chickens, with their proud little heads held high, started working with melodious little steps.
Cao Liqing and Guo Qiuhong exchanged a glance and burst out laughing.
This little girl's vengeful nature is so cute.
"Shishi, she went to get food and hasn't come back yet," Cao Liqing whispered, pointing to the door of room 303.
The implication is that only Xu Jianghai is inside; Zhou Miao isn't home, so the chicken won't reach her.
Jiang Zhengxin is Guo Qiuhong's husband. He and Zhao Xiangting exchanged glances, not quite understanding the meaning behind her strange actions.
Three dressed pheasants are pacing back and forth in front of room 303. Is there any special significance to this?
The children from both families kept swallowing their saliva as they heard Shishi's advertisement, wishing they could immediately eat this heavenly meat.
"Oh? He's not home." Shishi was disappointed.
What a blunder! All that talking was for nothing. I even made my two sisters-in-law's kids drool. I feel really bad about it.
They heard it on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, stopped their small steps, and waited for their owner's command.
The young teacher moved closer to her and whispered, "Shishi, she's back. She's downstairs."
Shishi's eyes lit up, "Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, the audience will be here soon, let's dance!"
Hehe. (Received.)
As soon as Zhou Miao went upstairs, she saw a familiar figure and several chickens that she wanted to pluck and cook immediately, dancing gracefully. She gritted her teeth in hatred.
She almost miscarried and needed to rest, but her husband treated her coldly. Hungry, she had no choice but to get up and go get food.
Her husband's leg was injured and he couldn't walk, so it seemed like it was her duty to go get food. But who knew how angry she was on the way there and back?
