"Honey, I have an urgent mission and I have to leave right now."
"So urgent?"
Gu Yunduan nodded, looked at Sun Xiuhua, and asked her to take good care of Ye Zhaozhao and the children while he was away.
Sun Xiuhua told him to go without worry, and that she would take care of them.
Ye Zhaozhao packed some clean clothes for Gu Yunduan to change into for his mission, and also gave him a few boxes of biscuits to take with him on his journey.
After Gu Yunduan left, Sun Xiuhua went home after having dinner at Ye Zhaozhao's house and saw Zhou Dawu playing with Lele.
"You didn't go on a mission?"
Zhou Dawu thought Sun Xiuhua didn't know about the military region's mission and was only coming back so late. Turns out she did know.
"Honey, you know I'm going on a mission, don't you even care about me?"
"What's there to care about? It's not like it's the first time we've been on a mission. Besides, you didn't go, did you?"
Zhou Dawu felt a chill in his heart; his wife no longer loved him. Just as he was about to say that he and Lele hadn't eaten yet, Sun Xiuhua went inside.
Zhou Dawu had no choice but to take Lele to cook. When the food was ready, Lele took a bite and looked disappointed.
"Dad, why don't you take some time to learn how to cook from Mom?"
"Alright, alright, we'll make do with this for today."
When Tuan Tuan, Yuan Yuan, and the triplets returned and learned that Gu Yunduan had gone on a mission, they showed no emotion.
They were already used to it. Ye Zhaozhao heard that the military region had taken the pills she made with them on this mission.
In this way, the task can be completed quickly. Duan Ziyi came in the evening, bringing snacks for the children. Look at her like this.
Ye Zhaozhao knew that good news was coming soon for her and Yang Mao.
Duan Ziyi found it funny to think about the scene of her first visit and couldn't help but share it with Ye Zhaozhao.
"I only found out when I went there that Yang Mao has a younger brother who is 22 years old this year, but his mental age is only that of a five or six-year-old."
Knowing that Duan Ziyi was coming to visit, Yang's mother gave Yang Mao's younger brother a dollar on the first night, telling him to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some good food the next day.
After eating something delicious, he should play outside a little longer before going home when it gets dark. Yang's mother was worried that he might say something he shouldn't and upset Duan Ziyi.
"As it turned out, Master, Yang Mao bought two bottles of soda with one yuan while we were eating."
He ran back home to use the toilet, and his mother told him to go to someone else's house, but he said, "It's better to keep the good stuff in the family."
That one sentence made everyone laugh; the person is back.
Yang Mao could only explain to Duan Ziyi, and Duan Ziyi now understood why Yang Mao was twenty-seven and still single.
Yang's mother also confessed to Ye Zhaozhao that the girl who had been on a blind date with Yang Mao had also come to their home.
The matchmaker brought people with her, and she looked very happy when she entered.
But after seeing his younger brother, everyone lost their smiles and rejected the marriage proposal.
Yang Mao had gotten used to being rejected so many times, and Duan Ziyi was someone he genuinely liked.
That's why she thought of keeping it a secret for now and finding an opportunity to tell her later. Yang's mother also apologized to Duan Ziyi.
They said it was wrong of them to keep it from her.
Duan Ziyi shook her head and said she didn't mind, as Yang Mao's younger brother looked quite alike to Yang Mao.
If you like someone, you have to accept them completely. Yang Mao knew about her past.
He wasn't as kind to her as before, and he didn't seem to mind seeing Duan Ziyi.
Yang's mother and Yang Mao were overjoyed. Duan Ziyi thought she would wait for her parents to come to Kyoto when they had time.
Yang Mao and Ye Zhaozhao got things done, and as for Duan Ziyi, if she thought it was good, then she thought it was good too.
Since Gu Yunduan was not home, Ye Zhaozhao let Duan Ziyi stay at her house for one night.
Knowing that Duan Ziyi would be staying at home, the children took turns pulling her to tell them stories.
Ye Zhaozhao went to boil water for her and brought her new clothes.
Although she was sleeping at her house, Duan Ziyi slept in the guest room.
In the middle of the night, the two were sound asleep when they heard a loud knocking on the door.
Ye Zhaozhao remembered that this person seemed determined to barge in without them even opening the door.
The last person to knock on the door was Aunt Qi. I got dressed and opened the door, and what a coincidence, it was Qi Hongmei who came this time.
Qi Hongmei and her son supported Liao Juanzi, who was clutching her stomach and looking pained.
"Comrade Ye, please take a look at me quickly, am I about to give birth?"
"If you're about to give birth, go to the hospital. Why are you looking for me?"
Ye Zhaozhao made a move to close the door, and Qi Hongmei saw this and let her son squeeze in. Liao Juanzi was in a bad stomachache at the time, so she had no choice but to give in to Ye Zhaozhao.
"Comrade Ye, I beg you, please take a look at this for me."
Ye Zhaozhao remained unmoved; she wouldn't help them in this state.
Finally, Liao Juanzi sat on the ground, as if to say, "If you don't help me watch over this, I'm not leaving."
The commotion startled Sun Xiuhua, who went outside to find everyone awake.
Everyone wanted to go in and see what was going on, seeing how much pain Liao Juanzi was in.
"Will the twins be alright?"
"These three are the same. If they have something to do, they should go to the hospital. What can they do by staying here?"
Seeing everyone discussing it, Duan Ziyi was worried about affecting her master's reputation in the family compound. She looked at Liao Juanzi and Qi Hongmei and spoke up.
"You two are really stupid. She's obviously just feeling uncomfortable because she ate too much. She'll be fine after walking around a bit when she gets back."
Everyone laughed at these words. Qi Hongmei felt her face burning, and Liao Juanzi wasn't much better off; it turned out she had eaten too much.
Seeing that the child was alright, Qi Hongmei and Liao Juanzi wanted to go back, but her son told them to wait a moment.
He went to Duan Ziyi's side and asked her a few questions in a low voice.
After the three left, everyone looked at Duan Ziyi, wanting to know what Qi Hongmei's son had said.
Duan Ziyi was speechless.
