On this day, a letter arrived from the military. With curiosity and anticipation, the family opened the envelope and read the contents. Upon learning that both the eldest and second sisters-in-law were pregnant, the entire family was ecstatic. This news warmed everyone's hearts like the spring sunshine.
The letter described the physical conditions of the eldest and second sisters-in-law in detail and revealed that their due dates were almost the same, a coincidence that was a pleasant surprise and added to the family's joy.
In his letter, the eldest brother expressed his concern and worry for his mother, asking if she could go to the military district to help care for his eldest and second sisters-in-law. He knew that his mother was about to retire, but she also had to take care of her younger sister, who was mentally retarded. However, he suggested that if his mother was willing, they could find a familiar aunt in their hometown to take Liu Yanran with them to the military district, so that they could provide mutual care and support.
After receiving the letter, the whole family fell into a heated discussion. Everyone was happy about the good news, but also began to think about how to deal with the challenges ahead.
In fact, the eldest brother knew that his mother had always taken meticulous care of his younger sister. However, he still hoped to reduce some of his mother's burden so that she could enjoy her later years. As for the younger sister, although she was silly and foolish, she was very well-behaved and obedient, making people love her. Therefore, the eldest brother thought that taking the younger sister with him would be a good choice.
Cao Cuilan calculated the dates carefully. The letter mentioned that her eldest daughter-in-law was already seven months pregnant, and her second daughter-in-law was eight months pregnant. She herself was only a month away from retirement. If she retired at a normal time, she would likely miss her second daughter-in-law's due date.
So she made up her mind to spend money to make up for the time she had retired early, so that she could go to the military area earlier, accompany her two daughters-in-law, and welcome the arrival of new life.
Cao Cuilan thought about it for a long time and finally decided to hand over her work to Liu Pianran. After all, Liu Pianran was capable of doing the job, and she now had a lovely little girl and needed more income to support her life.
After communicating and counseling with Liu Yanran these days, Liu Pianran gradually let go of her past obsession and stopped looking for that irresponsible man. She began to understand that she needed to cheer herself up, focus on her work, and take good care of herself and her daughter.
Today, Liu Pianran's daughter bears her surname, Liu, a name carefully chosen by Liu Yanran: Liu Jingfan. The name comes from a line from the Four Books and Five Classics: "The evening rain has just stopped, the long river is still, and the sails of the expedition set sail at night." "Jing" means quiet and peaceful, while "fan" symbolizes smooth sailing. This name embodies Liu Yanran's best wishes for her child's future: she hopes she can grow up in peace and pursue her dreams.
After much effort, Cao Cuilan finally found the relevant leaders and explained her family situation in detail. They were deeply sympathetic and decided to help her. Ultimately, Cao Cuilan successfully completed the procedures for early retirement.
Upon returning home, Cao Cuilan began to arrange household affairs. She packed her luggage and prepared to travel with Liu Yanran to the military region where her eldest son was stationed. Although she felt a little reluctant, she understood that this was a new beginning, and it was also for the sake of giving her family a better life.
Liu Yanran was incredibly excited when she heard the news. She couldn't wait to leave this familiar place and explore the new world. She was filled with endless longing and anticipation for the new life that was about to begin. She also promised her fourth brother that she would write to him frequently to share their life and learning experiences.
A few days later, Cao Cuilan and Liu Yanran embarked on a journey to the military region. Along the way, Liu Yanran chattered excitedly like a bird, while Cao Cuilan silently gazed at the scenery outside the window, feeling a surge of emotion.
When they arrived at the military area, the eldest daughter-in-law, Qian Yu, and the second daughter-in-law, Luo Su, had already been waiting at the door. Seeing their mother-in-law and sister-in-law arrive, they smiled with joy. Qian Yu warmly hugged Cao Cuilan, while Luo Su took Liu Yanran's hand and warmly greeted her, "Yanran, welcome to our home!"
Although everyone knew about Liu Yanran's situation, they did not look down on her or discriminate against her. Instead, they cared for her and loved her like their own sister. This warm family atmosphere made Liu Yanran feel extremely happy, and she fell deeply in love with this new home.
After arriving at the military region, Cao Cuilan and Liu Yanran quickly adapted to the environment. Every morning, as sunlight streamed into their rooms through the windows, they had already begun their busy day.
Cao Cuilan is always the first to rise. She gently pushes open the door and heads to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Knowing that Qian Yu and Russell are currently limited in mobility and require special care, she meticulously prepares each meal, ensuring it is nutritionally balanced and delicious.
Liu Yanran helps tidy the room and clean. She neatly folds the quilts and arranges the clothes in an orderly manner, giving the room a fresh, fresh feel and a comfortable feeling. She also teaches her nephews and nieces to read and write, patiently guiding them in their studies and helping them improve their grades.
After doing all this, she would sit on the sofa and chat with her two sisters-in-law to relieve her boredom. They talked about family matters and shared the joys and sorrows of life in a harmonious atmosphere. The two sisters-in-law finally believed that their sister-in-law was truly well and were very happy for her.
However, the eldest and second brothers were away on missions, so they didn't know the news that the youngest sister had recovered. Although it was a bit regretful that they couldn't tell them right away, everyone decided to give them a surprise when they returned.
Although everyone is busy, the home is always filled with laughter and joy. Everyone cares about each other in their own way, making this home more warm and harmonious.
