A moment later, the couple left the master bedroom and headed towards the living room.
At this moment, Grandma Feng was sitting on the sofa with her three children watching "Ikkyu-san". Recently, the two brothers, Lu Ziheng and Lu Zirui, as well as Lu Xiaoning, have been particularly fond of watching this cartoon.
Hearing footsteps, Grandma Feng turned her head and looked over.
Upon noticing her grandson-in-law carrying a military green backpack, she instinctively asked, "Is Ling Xiao going on a long trip?"
Lu Lingxiao answered her truthfully, "Yes, Grandma, I just received a mission and need to go out for a while, but don't worry, we will try our best to come back before the New Year."
The word "we" immediately sparked the old lady's speculation.
She immediately looked at her granddaughter and asked, "Zhizhi, are you going too?"
"Grandma, I have something to tell you."
Feng Zhiyi didn't want to hide it from her grandmother, so she told her the truth directly.
She rushed over to help her grandmother, who had just stood up, and led her to the guest room. As soon as they entered the room, the old lady Feng hugged her tightly.
"Can't you not go? Zhizhi, you're not a soldier. What kind of mission is it that requires a military wife like you to go with us?" The old lady hugged her granddaughter tightly, refusing to let go.
“The last time you went abroad, you and Ling Xiao were also on a mission. Although you kept emphasizing that there was no danger and nothing would happen, and told us not to worry, we are not stupid. Your grandfather and I are just old, not senile.”
"How about we go back to our hometown in Jiangnan? We won't spend the New Year in the family compound."
The old lady hugged Feng Zhiyi tightly, so tightly that no one could know how chaotic and uneasy she was at that moment. Her mind was filled with all sorts of chaotic images.
"I'm sorry, Grandma, I have to go on this mission!"
Feng Zhiyi gently patted her grandmother's back, softly comforting her as she said, "It'll be alright, please believe me, okay?"
Grandma Feng really wanted to say no!
She didn't want to listen. She just wanted to leave her granddaughter here and not let her go anywhere. Her daughter wasn't a soldier and had no obligation to carry out any of those missions. If anyone was going to go, it should be a soldier from the military.
With tens of thousands of soldiers in the army, surely they can't even pick out a few people to carry out the mission?
"Grandma, I know you're worried about me, but I promise you, Lingxiao and I will come back safely to celebrate the New Year with you! I can ignore others, but this time, Lingxiao will personally lead the team."
"I must go with him!"
Feng Zhiyi's attitude was exceptionally firm.
She could ignore or disregard other things, but Lu Lingxiao was her husband, and this mission happened to be related to his fate. No matter what, she could not let him go alone.
She knew that her grandmother would worry and be sad if she did this, but temporary worry was better than a lifetime of regret.
Grandma Feng couldn't hold back her tears.
But what can I do?
She couldn't argue with her granddaughter, and it was impossible for her to knock Zhizhi unconscious or lock her in the room.
The old lady cried silently, and Feng Zhiyi quickly took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her grandmother's tears. "Grandma, please believe me, okay? Neither I nor Ling Xiao will be in any danger."
"Then promise me you will definitely come back safely!"
The old lady choked up, cupping her granddaughter's face in her hands and looking at her with a serious yet stubborn expression, as if to say that if Feng Zhiyi didn't agree, she wouldn't let her leave the house.
"good!"
Feng Zhiyi responded with absolute certainty.
“Grandma, I’m leaving this briefcase in your room. It contains planning documents and design drawings for several major projects in Jincheng, as well as this box of money. I’ll call Lan Yifeng at the military store in a little while and tell him to come to the military base to pick it up.”
As she spoke, she put the things she was holding into the corner.
She had prepared herself mentally for this mission well in advance, so it didn't feel sudden at all. However, her three capable assistants would have to work hard during this period.
Grandma Feng glanced at the two items she had placed there, then looked away.
She led Feng Zhiyi outside.
Seeing Lu Lingxiao waiting silently to the side, the old lady led Feng Zhiyi over.
She placed Feng Zhiyi's hand in her grandson-in-law's and instructed him, "Lingxiao, Grandma has no other requests for you or Zhizhi, only one: that you take good care of yourself!"
"You must take good care of yourself!"
"You shall return the same way you went!"
"Grandma, I will protect Zhizhi."
As soon as Lu Lingxiao finished speaking, he received several glares, cold and sharp, as if complaining that he shouldn't have said he would only protect her, but that neither of them would be missing a hair!
He had no choice but to endure the glare.
He couldn't guarantee he wouldn't get hurt at all, given the many difficulties ahead. So, he could only do his best to protect Zhizhi, but he wouldn't let his wife down.
This time, he will rewrite his own destiny!
His fate is in his own hands. To hell with the plot, get the hell away from me!
At this moment, Lu Ziheng walked over with his younger brother and sister.
He stared intently at Lu Lingxiao and Feng Zhiyi, biting his lower lip as he asked, "Dad, Mom, are you going to catch bad guys in some faraway place again?"
"Dad, can you and Mom not go? I can't bear to leave you!" Lu Zirui hugged Lu Lingxiao's leg with one hand and Feng Zhiyi's with the other, his childish voice filled with deep reluctance and sobs.
I feel like crying.
My parents have only been back from abroad for less than a month, and they're already going out to catch big bad guys again.
"Mother!"
Lu Xiaoning burst into tears, but the little dumpling just silently shed tears, hugging Feng Zhiyi while her legs went weak and she cried out.
"Mom, please come back soon!"
As she spoke, she looked at her father and earnestly reminded him, "Dad, you and Mom, you both need to come home early!"
"good!"
The couple responded in unison.
Lu Lingxiao picked up his daughter and rubbed her head. "When you're at home with your brother, you have to listen to your great-grandmother and Uncle Xiao. You can't run off to play outside the military base by yourself."
"It's dangerous outside, you know?"
"Okay, Ningning understands!"
Lu Xiaoning nodded obediently, hugged her father's neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek, then turned around to kiss her mother.
When Feng Zhiyi saw her little dumpling's actions, she quickly brought her face close and heard a "smack" of a kiss.
The sound of "dear" was incredibly loud!
Then she kissed each of the three little ones back and said, "Okay, go watch TV. Mom and Dad will cook lunch. After we finish eating, we'll leave."
"good."
They responded in unison, and then Lu Xiaoning, Lu Ziheng, and Lu Zirui went back to the sofa to continue watching TV.
