Li Fengyi picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up some noodles when Lu Shishen took the chopsticks away from him.

He was a little worried, "Captain, can you do it?"

Yang Niannian also looked over when she heard the voice. Seeing that Lu Shishen had already started eating the noodles, she did not stop him. "Move slowly, don't pull the wound."

Lu Shishen shook his head, "It's okay."

Jiang Yueyue covered her mouth and let out an exaggerated "wow".

"Sister, I think Brother Lu is so brave. He can still use chopsticks to eat even though his injury is so serious. When I was injured in my leg before, my brother carried me to the toilet."

Lu Ruoling quickly covered her mouth, "Second brother and second sister-in-law are eating, don't mention such a disgusting thing as the toilet."

Li Fengyi smiled foolishly and flattered, "Sister Ruoling is so considerate and thoughtful."

Yang Niannian almost spit out the noodles in her mouth. It turns out that people who want to flatter others will always find an opportunity to do so.

After dinner, Li Fengyi went to wash the rice bucket diligently.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the doctor came to remove Lu Shishen's stitches, prescribed some oral and topical medicines, and then allowed them to go through the discharge procedures.

When they were leaving the ward, they happened to meet the aunt next door who was emptying her son's urinal. She greeted Yang Niannian enthusiastically.

"Hey, is your man discharged from the hospital?"

Yang Niannian smiled and nodded, "Yes! Your son will be discharged from the hospital soon, right?"

"It won't be that fast. It will take several days."

The aunt put the urinal on the ground, grabbed Yang Niannian's arm, and reminded her in a mysterious voice.

"You haven't forgotten what I told you, right? Try it when your man gets better. I guarantee you'll get pregnant."

Yang Niannian thought of the old lady's hand that had just grabbed the urinal, and quickly pulled her arm out, "Got it, we'll leave first, bye."

After saying that, he supported Lu Shishen and walked away, fearing that the aunt would catch up with him.

Li Fengyi had already driven the car to the downstairs of the inpatient department. After several people got in the car, Yang Niannian said.

"Let's go to the market first. We don't have any food at home. If we don't buy some vegetables, we won't be able to have dinner in the evening. Come over to have dinner with us tonight."

Li Fengyi said shamelessly.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that the dumplings you make are delicious."

Yang Niannian smiled, "Then let's eat dumplings tonight."

Li Fengyi grinned and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Suddenly he noticed that the captain's face looked strange, so he quickly restrained his smile.

As the year draws to a close, the vegetable market is very busy and cars can’t go in when they reach the main road.

Yang Niannian leaned over the car window and looked out. "Don't drive in. Wait for me in the car. I'll be back after buying some food."

Lu Shishen looked at Lu Ruoling and said, "Go with your second sister-in-law."

"Oh, okay."

Lu Ruoling obediently followed Yang Niannian out of the car.

As the year draws to a close, the vegetable market sells a wide variety of items, even things that are usually hard to find in the market can be found everywhere.

Yang Niannian strolled around and bought a bunch of meat and vegetables, as well as dried goods, melon seeds, peanuts and other things. As soon as the two walked out of the vegetable market, Li Fengyi ran over to help carry the things.

"Sister-in-law, why did you buy so many vegetables?"

Yang Niannian smiled and replied, "Let's ask Captain Zhou and his family to come over in the evening. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's get together."

Li Fengyi secretly glanced at Lu Ruoling, then grinned and said, "Then it will be a lively night."

…

Li Fengyi parked his car at the gate of the military family compound and helped Lu Shishen get out of the car. "Sister-in-law, help the commander in first. I'll take the things."

"There are a lot of things, you can't carry them all by yourself, let Ruoling take some too!" Yang Niannian said.

Li Fengyi handed the kettle and basin to Lu Ruoling, "Just take these."

He was carrying large and small bags of things in his hands, and even his armpits were filled with things.

The weather was cold and there were not many people in the yard except a few children playing with spinning tops. I didn't know who shouted.

"Hey, An An's godmother is back."

Several children ran to Lu Nianfei's house together, shouting as they ran, "An An, your godmother is back."

Yang Niannian smiled, "Yueyue, you will meet Brother An An soon!"

Jiang Yueyue was so happy.

When Wang Fengjiao heard the children's shouting, she dropped the half-knitted sweater and ran out, greeting Yang Niannian from a distance.

"Nian Nian, you're back. I missed you so much."

He ran up to her and looked her up and down, "Are you not used to the food in Beijing? You look thinner."

"I'm a little uncomfortable with the food." Yang Niannian felt particularly friendly when she saw Wang Fengjiao. "Sister Wang, I've been away for a few months and I miss you guys so much. Don't cook dinner at night. Come to my house. I bought a lot of vegetables."

Wang Fengjiao did not refuse and said happily.

"Okay, you help Captain Lu go back and rest. I still have hot water on my coal stove. I'll go back and fill the water bottle with hot water and come down to help you later."

"OK."

As Yang Niannian helped Lu Shishen into the yard, An An and Zhou Haiyang and his brothers came running over in a hurry.

After not seeing them for a few months, the children have grown a lot taller.

An An threw herself into Yang Niannian's arms, "Godmother, I missed you so much."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he started crying and snotting.

It really proves the old saying that when a child sees his mother, he will cry for no reason.

Ahem...even though she is not my biological mother.

Yang Niannian rubbed his head and comforted him, "Don't cry, isn't your godmother back? I bought you some delicious food and brought Yueyue to play with you."

Lu Shishen saw An An's little head buried in Yang Niannian's belly, frowned, but said nothing.

An An is just a child after all, and he can be coaxed into submission easily with food and playmates.

He followed Yang Niannian and played for a few minutes like a follower, then took Jiang Yueyue into the house to eat snacks and watch TV.

Li Fengyi delivered the things to the main room and said, "Sister-in-law, Commander, I'm going to the army to deliver the car first, and I'll come back later."

"Go ahead!"

Yang Niannian helped Lu Shishen into the inner room, "You go lie on the bed first!"

Lu Shishen shook his head and walked to the chair and sat down. "The wound has healed, so you don't have to lie down every day."

Seeing that he was in good spirits, Yang Niannian did not force him. "Then just sit still and don't move. I'll change the sheets and quilts. No one has lived in this house for a long time. Maybe a mouse has slept in the bed."

She had just changed the sheets and quilt covers when Li Fengyi came back with a pile of newspapers from the army.

"Captain, these are the newspapers you haven't read during your mission."

Lu Shishen motioned for him to put the newspaper on the table, picked up one and began to read it carefully.

The house had not been occupied for a long time, so it smelled a bit musty, and there was a lot of dust on the tables and chairs. Yang Niannian opened the doors and windows for ventilation, and put the sheets in the washing machine to wash.

Li Fengyi took the broom and the basin of water to help Lu Ruoling clean up.

Yang Niannian took the ingredients into the kitchen, and Wang Fengjiao came in with a freshly killed rabbit.

"Niannian, I killed a rabbit. Show me how to make it delicious."
