Chapter 66: The Reunion Dinner That Can't Be Returned



After re-bandaging his wound, Huo Donglin got back on the boat. Jiang Sheng rowed the boat with his back straight as he rowed the boat towards the distribution station.

"Uncle Jiang, let's move faster later. You can help me with the support in the back. Your daughter is waiting for you to come back for the reunion dinner."

Jiang Sheng turned around and glared at him, and said angrily: "How can that be possible? I am not an expert in this area. Do you still have a pair of children waiting for you to come home?"

"I am a soldier..."

"So what if you're a soldier? You're just a child in my eyes! Why should I let you carry heavy burdens all the time? Let go, Uncle Jiang will be fine. He even promised to bring jasmine-scented soap to Yaya."

The boat drifted slowly and sailed into the power station.

Looking around, the electric poles were leaning here and there, making the journey difficult. Huo Donglin first used the back of his hand to test the water, and after confirming that there was no electricity, he stood at the bow of the boat to push away the obstacles and clear a path.

The two cooperated with each other and soon reached the vicinity of the power distribution station.

The distribution box three meters away was soaked in the turbid yellow water, like a floating coffin half leaning against the wall with the slogan "Electricity Leakage Warning".

Dead rats and junk boxes floated on the surface of the water, and broken glass bottles were bubbling with a hiss—they were exploded insulators, forming an invisible minefield under the water.

“Water conducts electricity!”

"Uncle Jiang, stop the boat and don't move forward any further." Huo Donglin hurriedly picked up another oar, veins bulging on the back of his neck.

The two worked together to stop the small fishing boat.

Look up again.

Inside the peeling iron door, the glass cover of the old electric meter was broken, and the copper coil was hissing like a tangled water snake.

Huo Donglin picked up a broken bamboo pole from the stern of the boat and used it as a walking stick.

When the bamboo joint was about one meter away, blue sparks suddenly burst out, and the warning gong on the shore exploded immediately.

He wiped the mud that splashed on his chin, and could faintly smell the salty smell of diesel mixed with rotting corpses.

If they go any farther, they will be like those mice floating on the water.

Jiang Sheng wiped his face with a bitter smile, "It's difficult! I'll go back home tonight for the reunion dinner."

Huo Donglin unfolded the factory wiring diagram, "Good tomorrow is a new day."

The sky had just cleared up for a while, but it started to drizzle again.

Jiang Ningning returned to the tent after a day of running around.

The two kids sat in a row, each holding a thick book, with an open Xinhua Dictionary next to them.

He was so focused on watching that he didn't even notice her come in.

Jiang Ningning walked closer and took a look, then blinked her eyes. Wow!

One is "Solutions to Computational Problems in Physics". The title alone is very boring and is very suitable for hypnosis reading.

Another translation of "Principles of General Physics"...

The cubs have had the talent for curling since they were young, so much so that Jiang Ningning began to wonder if she, as a mother, was too resigned to doing things.

OK!

A little progress! !

Jiang Ningning shook her head desperately, trying to shake off the clean water in her mind.

The little kids noticed her at the same time, dropped their books in surprise, and ran over to hug her legs.

"Mother!"

"Mom, I miss you so much!" Manman raised her head and her voice became sweet.

Xia Xia wrinkled her small nose slightly, thinking that her brother was a flatterer!

When Jiang Ningning bent down, she stood on tiptoe and kissed her mother first.

Sure enough, her mother kissed her back as usual, and she was the first one to be kissed!

Xia Xia turned her head as if unintentionally and winked at her brother quietly.

Then my brother became even more shameless.

"Mom, you are so tired. Come sit down and let me massage your shoulders."

"Mom, you are thirsty. Do you want some sweet water?"

"Mother……"

Manman little dumpling follows the horse around and acts like a lackey.

Xia Xia puffed up her cheeks and stomped her feet, she was so angry!

But seeing the attentive and considerate service from my mother and brother, my tired brows relaxed slightly and I decided to forgive my brother again.

"Ningning, I'm going home tonight on New Year's Eve. I'll be back in five minutes, will you come back?" At this moment, Xiuying's voice came from outside the tent.

"Yes!" Jiang Ningning answered without thinking.

The sleeping bag is more comfortable than the bed. She specifically said she would like to stay if she could go home, and asked her to bring some more things tomorrow.

Especially bring a few extra sets of clothes and shoes.

It was too troublesome now. She had to take turns with Lin Xiaoyan to dry the wet clothes every day. Even so, they were still quite moist when she put them on the next day.

"Aunt Yan, do you want to go back to your home too?" Manman suddenly asked.

He was a little empathetic, and he couldn't bear to think that after their family left, Lin Xiaoyan would be left alone to watch the New Year's Eve.

Jiang Ningning thought about it, then shook her head: "I should go back. At noon, I heard from your Aunt Yan that the kitchen team wanted to make dumplings for the soldiers. I left a note for her."

Time was urgent, so she opened her pen, wrote two sentences, and put them on Lin Xiaoyan's sleeping bag. The remaining food in the backpack was left to her.

Seeing this, Xia Xia also took out three candies from her pocket and said, "Leave them for Aunt Yan."

The hardships of their previous lives did not defeat the little dumplings. On the contrary, they were kind and beautiful.

The sound of car horns outside was a silent urging.

Jiang Ningning led the kids outside and ran into Huo Zhan Ji right after they entered the tent.

He seemed to have slipped and hit his nose, which was bruised and swollen.

His eyes met those of the two little dumplings.

Huo Zhan Ji's face suddenly changed. He was angry, shocked, and a little embarrassed that he was being teased. It was as colorful as if a color palette had been overturned.

He turned around and went into the tent, which almost scared Zhang Tietie.

"You're crazy! You're always startled."

The strange thing is that Huo Zhan Ji didn't say a word this time.

When Zhang Gangtie was puzzled, he saw Secretary Xiao Jiang's beautiful profile through the gap in the tent, and he no longer understood anything.

This guy blushed when he saw Xiao Jiang doing something, and he even said that he had a crush on her?

On the other side, Jiang Ningning also asked the little kids: "Why did that uncle run away when he saw you?"

A pair of big black eyes full of innocence, "Which uncle?"

"That uncle whose face suddenly turned red and who ran away in panic..."

뀗Xiuying녊 listened to the conversation between the mother and her two children, and my heart skipped a beat. This description, this shy state...

This is clearly the performance of seeing Master 누뀞! !

In other words, her sister is too pure.

That kind of weak gay man has no abdominal muscles, thin arms and legs, and even his appearance is not as good as Huo Donglin.

She muttered: "Huo Donglin will definitely come back..."

"Auntie!"

Manman suddenly raised his voice and interrupted her.

His small body stood in front of his mother, looking at her with pleading eyes, and his tone was serious and firm: "My father went to Jiangcheng to carry out a mission, of course he will come back."

"Yes! Dad called us last night." Xia Xia joined in.

Compared to Manman, she is obviously much better at lying.

His head dropped deeply.

Xiuying was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what the brother and sister meant, but at the same time her heart was full of doubts.

What's going on?

Could it be that Jiang Ningning, an adult, knew about such a big thing first, and then kept it secret from her two children?

How come the situation seems to have changed?

Are you two trying to protect your mother?
