The cry was like a sharp sword, piercing her heart. She knew that she had been gone for six or seven years, and the children must have felt very sad during this time without their parents' love. Thinking of this, her heart was like a pot of mixed feelings, with a very bad taste.
She softly comforted him, "Good children, don't cry! Mom and Dad love you, but Mom and Dad went to fight the bad guys, so we can't be with you."
As Wang Xiaolan spoke, she gently stroked the children's hair, hoping to make them feel her care and love. After a while, the two children's crying gradually subsided. They blinked their tears and looked at their mother, as if waiting for her to continue.
"Mom, I won't leave this time. I'll be with you as you grow up."
Dabao and Xiaobao burst into laughter.
Yu Wenlin looked at the two children in front of him and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "These two children, they were crying their eyes out just now, but now they are smiling as if nothing happened."
Wang Xiaolan looked up at her mother and said, "Mom, you and Dad have worked hard these past few years."
Yu Wenlin shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, this is what I should do. Let's go eat!"
Wang Xiaolan smiled and nodded, then took the two children's hands and said gently, "Come on, my dears, let's go eat together. After dinner, wait a moment and Mommy will give you the gifts Daddy asked me to bring back for you."
After hearing what their mother said, the children showed expectant smiles on their faces. They followed their mother to the dining table happily, and then sat down obediently and ate their food with big mouthfuls.
At this time, Zeng Cheng brought a bowl full of rice, placed it in front of Wang Xiaolan and said, "Little sister, eat. If you have anything to say, let's talk after we finish eating."
Yu Wenlin sat beside Wang Xiaolan, his eyes fixed on her as if drawn by a magnet. She had completely forgotten even the food in front of her.
Finally, Wang Xiaolan noticed something was wrong with Yu Wenlin. She tilted her head, met his gaze, smiled slightly, picked up a piece of meat, and gently placed it in his bowl. She said softly, "Mom, your cooking is getting better and better. This is even better than what the chefs in the restaurant make."
Yu Wenlin then shifted his gaze to the bowl, quickly picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of food, and put it into Wang Xiaolan's bowl, saying, "If it tastes good, eat more. From now on, I will make delicious food for you every day and keep you plump and white."
Wang Xiaolan's face was all smiles. She gently stroked her belly, which hadn't bulged yet, and said happily, "That's great! My little baby in my belly is in for a treat this time. We can enjoy the delicious food your grandma makes every day!"
Zeng Qiang and Zeng Cheng, who were putting food into their mouths, froze in their tracks when they heard this, as if time had stopped at that moment. They simultaneously raised their heads, their gazes meeting Wang Xiaolan, expressions of astonishment on their faces.
Yu Wenlin, who was standing by, also came back to his senses as if waking from a dream. He stared at Wang Xiaolan with wide eyes in disbelief, and stammered, "Nannan, you...you just said you were pregnant?"
Seeing this, Wang Xiaolan's smile grew even brighter. She nodded happily and replied in a sweet voice, "Yes! It's been three months!"
Zeng Qiang also smiled and said, "That's great, our Zeng family is going to have another grandson."
Yu Wenlin said, "I want Nannan to give birth to a beautiful granddaughter this time." Then he looked at Dabao and Xiaobao and said, "Do you like your sister?"
Dabao said without hesitation: "I like my sister."
Xiaobao said, "I like both my brothers and sisters."
Yu Wenlinton said with a smile: "Xiaobao is right. This time your mother gave birth to two children, one is a sister and the other is a brother."
Xiao Bao said in disbelief, "Is grandma real?"
Yu Wenlin said with a smile, "Because your grandmother's family has this gene! My mother gave birth to me as twins, but my younger sister died when she was six months old because she had a fever and was not treated in time."
After that, she sighed and said, "If it weren't for the war, she wouldn't have died."
Xiaobao said, "Grandma, don't be sad. We will definitely be filial to you when we grow up."
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
At night, Xiaobao and Dabao both went to bed.
Several adults were sitting in the living room, and Wang Xiaolan told them about her transfer.
Zeng Cheng looked at Wang Xiaolan with suspicion, as if he was very puzzled by her decision. He couldn't help but say, "Little sister, look at you. With such outstanding achievements, you will definitely be assigned to a good unit. This is what many people dream of! But you just want to give it up. Isn't this a pity?"
Wang Xiaolan smiled slightly, her eyes firm and bright, and she replied softly, "Most people would choose the most comfortable lifestyle. However, I am different. Deep down, I have always harbored a strong desire to own my own medical industry group. This dream has never changed. Now that national policies have changed, allowing individuals to set up offices and factories, I must seize this opportunity."
She paused briefly and continued, "I've been working on the border for the past few years and even on the front lines. This experience has completely changed my mind. On the battlefield, I've witnessed countless brave soldiers seriously injured. They have made great sacrifices for their country and their people. Most of these people come from poor families, and some have parents living in rural areas who face even greater difficulties. These disabled soldiers can't do much when they return home. I want to do something for them, to help them get back on their feet and live a normal life."
Wang Xiaolan continued, "I've been thinking about this for the past year. I now have some assets and have accumulated some funds. I commissioned the Lai Di sisters to build a house in the valley of Xiangshui Brigade. They have done an excellent job in the preliminary work. Now all I have to do is return to the sanatorium to take charge. All disabled soldiers will receive free treatment."
Zeng Qiang listened to Wang Xiaolan and thought her idea was a good one. The country now allows individuals to set up factories and hospitals, which is a trend. He thought about this and said, "Nannan's idea is quite good. Zeng Cheng, don't hold your little sister back. Instead, you have to support her. Our whole family is more than willing to support her career."
Then he looked at Yu Wenlin and said, "Wenlin, Nannan is pregnant now. You just need to take care of her diet. Dabao and Xiaobao are both grown up and very sensible. Don't worry too much about them. Zeng Cheng and I can take care of them."
Seeing her father so concerned about her, Wang Xiaolan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, you really don't have to worry too much about me. I'm not the kind of person who gets spoiled! Look, when I was pregnant with Dabao and Xiaobao, the conditions were so difficult, but I managed to get through it. So, I'm sure I'll be fine this time, after all, I'm a doctor myself."
