Si Muyang said with a smile, "I've submitted the application to Chief Zhao. It should be approved in a day or two!"
When Lin Qiuru saw her son return, she happily led her two children to greet him.
"Muyang! You're finally back! Come in quickly!"
She took Si Muyang's hand and carefully examined him.
Si Muyang said, "Mom, what are you looking at? Don't worry, I'm not missing a single hair."
Lin Qiuru glared at Si Muyang reproachfully and said, "Still being stubborn? You were so badly injured this time. I heard you're covered in wounds."
Where have you been again? Instead of resting at home, why aren't you taking care of your injury? Take off your clothes and let your mother see!
As she spoke, she reached out to unbutton Si Muyang's clothes.
Si Muyang hurriedly reached out and pushed his mother's hand away. He said, "Mom, I'm alive and kicking right here in front of you. What are you worried about?"
"It's freezing cold, you want me to take off my clothes outside?! Aren't you afraid I'll catch a cold?!"
Lin Qiuru slapped her thigh. "You know, my brain is really getting old. How could I forget how cold it is outside? Let's go inside and talk!"
"Little dumplings, Dad's home! Why didn't you two greet him?!"
She called out to the two children, but for some reason, these two children, who usually call him "Dad, Dad," stopped talking when they actually saw him.
Lin Qiuru pushed the two children in front of Si Muyang.
Si Muyang patted Xiaolongbao's head with his large hand.
He said, "It's been a while since I've seen you, you've grown so much! Did you miss me?"
Nodding her little head, she said, "I miss my dad!"
She raised both hands high, wanting Si Muyang to hug her.
However, Si Muyang did not respond.
He took Lin Qiuru's arm and they went back to their room together.
Disappointed, she lowered her little hand and curled her lip.
Cheng Xiao Kui held your hand and said, "Daddy is injured and can't hug you. Daddy will hug you when he's better. Don't be sad."
A smile returned to her little face, and she nodded, saying, "I know, I'll let Daddy hold me when he's better."
Cheng Xiaokui told the two children to play with the puppy in the yard and not to run outside to play.
She followed Si Muyang and Lin Qiuru into the room.
Lin Qiuru and her son Si Muyang sat on the bed and in a chair, respectively.
In those days, rooms were only this big, mostly a room and half a bed.
Lin Qiuru's gaze never left Si Muyang; she wished she could count every single hair on his head.
Si Muyang said, "Mom, don't worry about it. I only stayed in the hospital for a few days, and I'm all better now."
Lin Qiuru said, "Don't try to hide it from me. I know you're badly injured. How many days can you stay at home? Has your leave been approved?"
"Mom's making you some chicken soup, to nourish you! I've heard that if someone's abdomen is cut open, it damages their vital energy, and they won't be able to use themselves in the future!"
Si Muyang said, "Where did you hear that? That's not scientific. Look at my body, how could it be bad?"
Lin Qiuru asked, "By the way, what application did Xiaokui ask you about just now? What kind of application was it?"
Si Muyang said, "It's my application to remarry Xiao Kui."
Lin Qiuru's eyes lit up instantly, and she said happily, "You submitted a remarriage application? What did your boss say?"
Si Muyang said, "The leader said it still needs to be approved by the higher-ups. He'll let me know once the report is approved. It should only be a matter of one or two days before Xiao Kui and I can remarry."
Lin Qiuru said happily, "That's wonderful! I've been looking forward to it day and night, hoping that you two will remarry soon and give me a big, healthy grandson!"
Cheng Xiaokui walked into the room and listened to Lin Qiuru and Si Muyang's rambling conversation.
She knew Song Jingchuan was capable, so she called Chief Zhao as he suggested, but he didn't approve it immediately.
Her gaze seemed to be fixed on Si Muyang, a lingering gloom on her brow.
Lin Qiuru said to Cheng Xiaokui, "Xiaokui! The report should be approved in the next couple of days. Let's go shopping tomorrow."
Tell Mom what you want, and Mom will buy it for you! We won't skimp on the dowry we're supposed to give you! We were poor before, and couldn't give you anything..."
At this point, Lin Qiuru sighed and thought back to her days in the countryside.
At that time, although Si Muyang sent money every month, his family consisted of elderly people and children, so they couldn't earn many work points. They lived the most difficult life in the whole village.
She always felt indebted to Cheng Xiao Kui in this matter.
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Mom, please don't say that. Marrying Si Muyang was my own choice, and I didn't want any dowry."
Although I was poor at that time, and Si Muyang didn't have any money either, as long as we loved each other, we didn't care about money!
How good is our family's life now? So many people envy us!
Si Muyang said, "Yes! Mom, the love between Xiao Kui and me is more important than anything else."
"Forget about dowries; all our money will come from me and Xiaokui in the future anyway."
Lin Qiuru nodded and said, "Of course, you are my only son. No matter how much money I earn, it will all go to you, Xiao Kui, and your children in the future!"
Mom's biggest wish right now is to have a grandson! You two should remarry quickly so Mom can have a big grandson soon!
"While Mom's still healthy, she can help you take care of the kids! You should have four or five, then Mom can look after them all, so you don't have to worry about them!"
Si Muyang said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to Mom. Let's have a few more!"
Cheng Xiao Kui's lips twitched slightly. This is having babies, not buying cabbages, where you can have as many as you want!
She just smiled and didn't say anything.
In Lin Qiuru's view, this meant that Cheng Xiaokui had tacitly agreed to have several more children with Si Muyang in the future.
Her wrinkles beamed with joy; she felt like she had finally found happiness after hardship!
To give her son and daughter-in-law time to talk, she thoughtfully gave her son a few instructions before heading to the kitchen to make chicken soup for him.
Only Cheng Xiao Kui and Si Mu Yang remained in the room.
Si Muyang opened his briefcase, took out several bottles of medicine, and placed them on the table.
He said to Cheng Xiao Kui, "My wounds need a dressing change. Honey, could you help me change the dressing?"
Cheng Xiao Kui hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, then take off your clothes and I'll change your dressing."
Si Muyang's slender fingers unbuttoned his clothes one button at a time...
Cheng Xiao Kui watched as the man took off his shirt, revealing his muscular body wrapped in layers of gauze...
