Chapter 27 Arrival...
Finally, after several days of treatment, Ren Qingsong received permission from the hospital to be discharged.
"Commander Ren, you must take care of yourself after being discharged from the hospital and have regular check-ups."
"Thank you, doctor."
Upon hearing the good news, Miya was so excited that she bowed repeatedly to the doctor, her bright smile dazzling.
Ren Qingsong bowed, one hand covering his chest, and nodded his thanks.
After giving the doctor all the instructions he needed to take, he turned and left.
Miya picked up the luggage bag from the ground and said with a smile, "Today is really a good day. Third Brother, you're finally being discharged from the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Ren Qingsong couldn't help but smile and echoed:
"According to Wu Wei and Qing Bai, Mother is probably arriving today as well, which is indeed an auspicious day."
As he spoke, he reached out his free hand, intending to take the luggage from Miya's hands.
Without thinking, Miya flung her hand away, otherwise she would let Qingsong touch her.
“Third Brother, you’re still recovering from your illness, how can you lift heavy things? I’ll do it, don’t worry. I’ve become much stronger since joining the army, lifting these two sets of clothes is no problem at all.”
"Okay," Ren Qingsong said softly.
He took a closer look at Miya and noticed not only the changes in her body, but also the significant reduction in her previously timid demeanor.
Once he's feeling better, he can offer the suggestions he didn't voice, and Miya will definitely grow even faster.
Finally, Ren Qingsong walked home empty-handed, while Miya carried the luggage.
Before even entering the house, Ren Qingsong could sense the changes in his neighborhood.
The vegetable patch that Miya had previously haphazardly tidied up next to the yard has now been taken much more meticulously, and a fence has even been erected around it to protect it.
The courtyard has been completely transformed, with tender green shoots emerging from the turned soil.
Looking at the scene before him, Ren Qingsong could almost imagine how lush the vegetable garden in the yard would be three months from now, and he could faintly hear the crowing of chickens.
At the same time, he also realized a fact.
"Miya, you're home alone, it must be tough."
This was the first time Miya had heard such words, and she waved her hand helplessly.
“What’s so hard about doing housework? It’s nothing compared to how hard you work outside, Third Brother, where you might even get hurt.”
"Working hard outside is for yourself, working hard at home is for the whole family, and neither is more important than the other."
After speaking, Ren Qingsong continued walking forward, observing the changes that had occurred at home during the days he had been away on missions.
Miya remained standing in place, carefully savoring what she had just heard.
After pondering for a long time, she murmured, a mixture of doubt and delight, "Really?"
Soon, Miya forgot all about the chores at home and busied herself washing the clothes in her hands, otherwise her third brother would have nothing to change into.
Ren Qingsong, seeing that Miya seemed completely oblivious to the awkwardness, coughed twice nervously.
"Cough cough!"
"Miya, there's no rush. I've been walking for a while and I'm a little... a little tired. Could you please boil some water for me first?"
"Also, I reckon Mom should be back by now in the military vehicle. We should be cooking dinner at home, right?"
Upon hearing that her future mother-in-law would be arriving soon, Miya's nerves immediately tightened.
For her, washing Ren Qingsong's clothes was really not a priority at this moment.
Following Ren Qingsong's wishes, she casually put her luggage bag aside and began to busy herself with preparing lunch for the day.
Miya carefully considered the food she had at home, combined it randomly, and came up with several dishes. She then told Ren Qingsong to help her make a decision.
"Third Brother, how about we make mushroom stewed chicken, stir-fried eggs with chives, and spicy potatoes for lunch today, along with a few preserved vegetable pancakes?"
“Very good. Please let me know if there is anything I need to do.”
"No, no, no! Third Brother, you're injured, how can you do heavy work?"
Miya refused without hesitation and got up to get busy.
As she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the dejected look on Ren Qingsong's face out of the corner of her eye and immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing.
In a flash, Miya quickly came up with a task that the injured could also help with.
"Third Brother, you just need to watch the fire while the chicken soup is simmering. I'll go wash all the vegetables we need."
Mushroom stewed chicken doesn't require much preparation.
The chicken was the same wild pheasant that Ren Qingsong had brought back before; a simple rinse of the surface dust was all that was needed.
The mushrooms were picked by Miya along with Da Ni and the others on the mountain. They were then added to the chicken soup and stewed together, making it incredibly delicious.
Soon, under Miya's skillful hands, one dish after another was placed on the table, their aroma filling the air.
It was now noon, and Miya remembered that she had arrived at the military camp around this time, still somewhat dazed. She quickly dried her hands with a handkerchief and said hastily:
"Third brother, Mother should have arrived by now. I'll go pick her up. You just stay home and rest."
"I've injured my chest, not my leg. I'll go with you."
Once Ren Qingsong unleashed his aura, Miya had no desire to resist and tacitly allowed him to go out.
The two walked side by side and soon arrived at the gate of the military camp.
This time, however, the military vehicles were going out to purchase supplies, and the personnel needed to return with the vehicles.
When the two arrived, Wen Xianfeng, who had been asked to pick them up, had not yet returned with his men.
The two could only wait quietly at the door.
Nearly half an hour later, trucks loaded with goods traveled along the winding mountain road.
Ren Qingsong's eyes immediately revealed his longing, completely unaware of Miya's nervous and flustered glances beside him.
Miya was genuinely terrified that her lost soul would be recognized by someone close to her.
Then they found a powerful Taoist master to banish her, causing her soul to be scattered and making it impossible for her to be reincarnated in her next life.
Thinking of this, Miya was so frightened that her whole body went cold and her legs trembled uncontrollably.
After repeated internal struggles, the only thing that brought me peace of mind was that someone had said during a previous argument that such remarks were feudal superstition and that if discovered, I would be arrested and taken to the authorities.
Then she can live under this identity for a little longer.
Despite her anxiety, Cui Dani, who had been traveling all the way, followed the vehicle to the military base.
Wen Xianfeng excitedly jumped down from the carriage, gesturing towards it with his hands, and said happily:
"Auntie, let me help you down."
As soon as Ren Qingsong saw Wen Xianfeng, he knew his family had arrived, and excitedly walked quickly toward the vehicle where Wen Xianfeng was.
Miya walked behind with her legs weak, watching the familiar figure appear.
After several days of train travel, coupled with bumpy mountain roads and truck rides, Cui Dani felt listless and weak, as if she could see the image of Miya coming to the army alone.
She mustered her strength, put her arm around San'er's comrade, and weakly expressed her gratitude.
"Child, you've worked hard."
“Auntie, you’re being too polite. The battalion commander saved my life; what’s the big deal about me taking you on as a guest?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Xianfeng noticed the approaching figure out of the corner of his eye, and a brighter smile appeared on his face.
He quickly placed his hands under Cui Dani's armpits, lifted his hands, and then put them down, standing steadily on the ground.
"Battalion Commander, you've arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Cui Dani's tired eyes widened instantly. Following Wen Xianfeng's gaze, she saw her son, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Cui Dani excitedly hugged her son's arms tightly with both hands, but she quickly thought of the injuries her son had sustained and hurriedly withdrew her hands.
"Where are you injured? The family was terrified when they received the telegram from Miya."
"It's not heavy, Mother, don't worry."
"It's not heavy! It's not heavy at all. Miya can send telegrams. You brat, you're just lying to your parents."
Cui Dani vented her anxiety, panic, and worry with a look of dissatisfaction.
Ren Qingsong endured it without resistance.
He knew how worried his parents were during his years in the army; he was an unfilial son.
Others who witnessed this scene felt a deep empathy and their eyes reddened.
In the end, Wen Xianfeng reminded the two that this was not a convenient place to talk, and led Cui Dani to register first, and the family would go home first.
Only then did Cui Dani turn her gaze to Miya.
Looking at Miya, who had gained so much weight since she was at home, he had a smile of satisfaction on his face and kept saying "good" to her.
"Okay, okay!"
"I knew sending Miya over would be the right thing to do."
