Xie Yan hurriedly stepped forward and opened the box to check. Inside were all the medicinal herbs he needed, and the quality of each herb was excellent. Both the color and texture showed that they had been carefully selected.
Xie Yan carefully took out the medicinal herbs from the box, and together with the herbs he had brought, quickly organized the herbs that needed to be decocted.
Soon, the medicine began to simmer on the stove, and its rich aroma gradually filled the entire house.
While looking at the medicine, Xie Yan instructed the guards to keep an eye on the heat, and then busied himself preparing the medicinal herbs needed for the evening's medicinal bath.
The old general slept exceptionally soundly, only waking up three hours later. Upon waking, he appeared visibly more energetic, and his previously somewhat dim eyes now shone brightly.
As soon as the old man stepped out of his house, he smelled the aroma of medicine wafting from the kitchen. A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he exclaimed, "Young people are so efficient and decisive!"
At this moment, Xie Yan came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of still steaming medicine and said to the old man with a smile, "Old Chief, you're awake. The medicine is ready. You woke up at just the right time."
The old general pointed a finger at Xie Yan from afar, and said with a smile, "You!"
The old man was clearly used to taking medicine. He didn't even frown at the bitter-tasting medicine soup, and he drank it all in one gulp.
In the days that followed, Xie Yan repeated the same routine every day: acupuncture, herbal supplements, and medicinal baths.
As time went by, the old general's complexion gradually became rosy, and his mental state improved.
During this process, Xie Yan also took the time to treat several other senior leaders. Fortunately, Xie Yan's medical skills were indeed remarkable, and the senior leaders staying at the sanatorium began to recover little by little under Xie Yan's treatment.
Xie Yan boarded the train home again, as excited as a child about to attend a grand celebration.
He really, really, really misses his wife.
Although he gained a lot of valuable things from this treatment, not seeing his wife for half a year was simply torture for Xie Yan.
He was filled with longing for his wife. In the past six months, they had both been so busy with work that their schedules were always in sync, and they rarely spoke to each other.
At this moment, Xie Yan was so eager to see her that he couldn't wait even a second longer. He kept glancing at the scenery rushing past the window, wishing the train could go even faster.
Looking at Xie Yan, who was fidgeting and looking anxious, Zhang Jianguo couldn't help but laugh and tease her, "Oh dear, you're so eager to see your sister-in-law!"
Xie Yan rolled her eyes in annoyance, "What do you know, you're just a single dog!"
Zhang Jianguo's eyes widened instantly, staring at Xie Yan in disbelief: "!!!!"
That's outrageous! They're resorting to personal attacks!
Xie Yan, however, paid no attention to her anger and deliberately continued to tease her, "Did you manage to win over that tall guy from the performing arts troupe?"
Zhang Jianguo proudly raised his chin, looking arrogant. "Hmph, that was a piece of cake. Let me tell you, he's my boyfriend now!"
Now it was Xie Yan's turn to be surprised, "So fast?"
His face was full of disbelief. "Don't lie to me!"
Another colleague standing nearby laughed and testified, "It's true, that unattainable beauty was won over by our Battalion Commander Zhang."
Xie Yan smiled broadly, looked Zhang Jianguo up and down several times, and clicked his tongue in amazement, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, our Comrade Zhang Jianguo is quite capable."
Zhang Jianguo became even more smug, raising his chin even higher.
Yes, she also has a lot of personal charm.
Xie Yan lowered her head and chuckled softly. It must be said that Comrade Zhang Jianguo is indeed a very charming woman.
I've met that gay man before. He's tall with long legs, and being a dancer, he has an outstanding physique and presence.
Most importantly, Xie Yan still remembered that when that man secretly looked at Comrade Zhang Jianguo that day, his eyes were full of admiration. He knew that this guy was definitely interested in Comrade Zhang Jianguo.
Two people who are interested in each other can easily become a couple if they just take the initiative and make a small step forward.
However, judging from their hesitant attitude before, I thought it would take a long time for them to get together, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.
Soldiers are known for their strong action-taking ability!
After a bumpy journey, Xie Yan arrived home at around 3 p.m.
Looking at that familiar yet tightly closed door, a sense of warmth welled up in his heart.
Xie Yan took out his key from his bag, gently inserted it into the lock, and with a "click," the door opened.
After looking around, Xie Yan took a deep breath. Yes, even the air felt familiar.
With no one from his family home, Zhang Jianguo and the others left immediately after delivering the thank-you banquet.
Xie Yan was the only one at home. He lay down on the bed in a spread-eagle position, rested for a while, and then rode his bike straight to the state-run restaurant.
The restaurant was bustling with people, and the aroma of food filled the air.
After Xie Yan got the food, he carefully placed the lunchbox in the bicycle basket and hurriedly went home.
Just after resting at home for a while, Xie Yan heard Yangyang's excited shouts from outside, "Daddy's home! Daddy's home!" Xie Yan knew immediately that it was his beloved son, and a smile immediately spread across his face.
When Yangyang saw the open front door of his house, he knew that his dad had come home.
He excitedly pushed open the door and immediately saw Xie Yan lying on the recliner. Like a happy little tiger, he rushed over and jumped into Xie Yan's arms: "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, you're finally back."
Xie Yan hugged him tightly, then reached out and pulled Tangtang, who had come in with them, into her arms, saying happily, "Oh my, my two little darlings, did you miss me?"
Yangyang responded loudly, "I miss him, I miss him so much! Dad, if you come back, you won't leave again, right?" After saying that, she looked at Xie Yan with bright, expectant eyes.
Tangtang also looked very serious, staring intently at Xie Yan, her eyes revealing her longing for her father.
Xie Yan smiled and nodded vigorously, saying gently, "I'm not leaving." Then, she turned to Tangtang and teased her, "You still haven't told me if you missed me!"
Tangtang's cheeks flushed slightly, and before she could speak, Yangyang interrupted loudly, "My little sister misses Daddy so much. She often asks Mommy when you're coming back."
Tangtang blushed slightly, her cheeks turning even redder. She nodded gently, her eyes sparkling, still staring intently at Xie Yan.
Xie Yan smiled and put the two little ones down, holding one in each hand as they walked into the house. "Dad has been missing you a lot while he was away. Come on, come on, Dad bought you a lot of gifts this time."
"Didn't you write last time saying you wanted a pretty seashell wind chime?"
"Dad made some for you too, and they look really good."
