Just two days after the performance, Lu Lin received a notice to go out on a mission.
This was his first mission after recovering from his injury, and the location of the mission was kept secret; even Lu Lin himself didn't know where it was.
Jiang Manyue was a little worried, so she packed his luggage and turned around to hug him.
"Be careful out there, don't get hurt, and come back safely, okay?"
Lu Lin coaxed her softly, "I know. I will be careful and come back for your checkup, not missing a single hair."
Jiang Manyue reluctantly let go of him, "Are we leaving now?"
Lu Lin nodded. "The mission is urgent. The car should be waiting at the entrance of the military area. We'll set off as soon as everyone is gathered."
"Then I'll take you there."
Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin walked out side by side. When they arrived at the gate of the military area, they saw a military vehicle parked at the gate.
Xie Anbang waved to Lu Lin from the car, "Brother Lu! Sister-in-law! Over here!"
Lu Lin squeezed Jiang Manyue's hand and said, "I'm leaving."
Jiang Manyue nodded and watched him walk quickly into the car.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will take good care of him and make sure he returns safely!" Xie Anbang leaned over and shouted to Jiang Manyue.
Lu Lin also leaned out of the window and waved at Jiang Manyue.
"You two should be careful and safe. When you come back, I will make you something delicious to celebrate."
The car started, and Xie Anbang and Lu Lin's responses gradually fell into the wind.
"Sister-in-law has agreed! I want to eat braised pork..."
"Wait until I come back."
The car gradually drove away. Jiang Manyue felt empty inside and returned home slowly alone.
In the afternoon, she went to pick up Lu Junan and Binbin by herself.
"Where's my uncle? Why is it my aunt who's picking us up today?"
Lu Jun'an was used to Lu Lin picking him up, but suddenly Jiang Manyue came to pick him up, and he was a little uncomfortable.
"Your uncle is on a mission and is not at home for the time being."
Lu Jun'an said "Oh", but he didn't feel anything special about his uncle going on a mission.
Binbin was already used to it, and he raised his little face to comfort Jiang Manyue, "Auntie Manyue, don't worry, Uncle Lu will be back soon."
Jiang Manyue smiled at him and said, "Okay, Aunt Manyue, don't worry. Your Uncle Lu will definitely be back soon. Your father should be back soon too."
Binbin thought about it, stretched out another hand, and counted on his fingers, "Yes! Dad always came back around this many days in the past."
They were talking when they got home and saw Cheng Jianyong standing at the door.
Binbin let go of Jiang Manyue's hand and ran over, "Dad!"
Cheng Jianyong smiled and caught him, then nodded to Jiang Manyue, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you and A Lin these days."
Jiang Manyue smiled and said it was okay. She walked forward to open the door and let Cheng's father and son come in first.
"Lu Lin went on a mission and just left this afternoon."
Cheng Jianyong listened, touched Binbin's head, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I came back in time, otherwise it would be much harder for you, my sister-in-law, to take care of two children by yourself."
"It's not hard. Binbin is very well behaved. It's also easy to worry about the two of them. They can basically take care of themselves."
Jiang Manyue poured Cheng Jianyong a glass of water and asked, "Brother Cheng, are you going to take Binbin back home to sleep tonight?"
Cheng Jianyong nodded and said, "I'm back now. I'm sorry to bother you again."
After saying that, he asked Binbin to go back to his room and pack his luggage.
Lu Jun'an also ran into the room and helped clean up.
Just at the awkward moment when the two adults didn't know what to talk about, there was a noise outside the door again.
"It's the full moon. I made some winter melon soup with some bacon. It's delicious. I'll give you a bowl to try."
The person who came was Sister Ma from next door. Ever since Binbin was fostered in the Lu family, her relationship with Jiang Manyue has become much closer, and they would occasionally give each other gifts.
Sister Ma walked in with a bowl in her hand and saw Cheng Jianyong there, and exclaimed, "Oh!"
"Jianyong, are you back?"
Cheng Jianyong and Sister Ma were old acquaintances, so he nodded at her and said, "Yes, I just got back. I'm here to pick up Binbin. Lu Lin is out on a mission, and it's really tiring for my sister-in-law to take care of two children alone."
Sister Ma handed the bowl to Jiang Manyue and motioned her to go to the kitchen to change it, as she had to take this bowl home.
Jiang Manyue naturally would not refuse when her neighbor sent her a bowl of soup, so she went into the kitchen to exchange the bowl.
Sister Ma started chatting with Cheng Jianyong outside.
Jiang Manyue had just changed the bowl and handed it to Sister Ma when she heard her change the topic to introducing Cheng Jianyong to a new partner.
Cheng Jianyong was a little embarrassed. "Sister Ma, I just divorced my last girlfriend. I really don't have the heart to look for another one now. If I find someone like Fang Shuixiu again, Binbin will be in great trouble."
Sister Ma sighed, "Jianyong, it's not that I like to be a matchmaker, but your situation is special. You go on missions from time to time, and Binbin has to find someone to help take care of him for a few days. If there was someone to take care of him at home, it wouldn't be so troublesome, right?"
Cheng Jianyong was silent after hearing this. What Sister Ma said was indeed a big problem for him.
He mentioned to his leader that he would not go on missions in the future, but his leader replied that for the sake of the army, personal sacrifice is sometimes necessary.
Going on missions will definitely happen frequently in the future, and he can't trouble Lu Lin and the others every time. Cheng Jianyong hesitated, not knowing whether he should agree to go on a blind date with Sister Ma.
Seeing him wavering, Sister Ma continued to add fuel to the fire, "You still don't trust your sister Ma's character? Can I introduce you to someone who is not good for children?"
Cheng Jianyong was obviously even more shaken. Sister Ma looked at Jiang Manyue again and said, "Manyue, don't you agree? There must be a woman in the family. Otherwise, how can Binbin live in your house every day in the future?"
Jiang Manyue gave a wry smile. "Lu Lin and I have no objection. Binbin and Jun'an get along like brothers. If you can herd one sheep, you can also herd two."
Sister Ma tsks, "You can't say that. If there's a suitable one, we should find a mother for Binbin. As the saying goes, a child with a mother is like a treasure."
The more she talked, the more embarrassed Jiang Manyue became. Her Jun'an didn't have a mother either, so he was like a weed?
Perhaps it was the thought that we couldn't always trouble Lu Lin and his wife that touched Cheng Jianyong, and he finally nodded in agreement.
Sister Ma was happy. "That's right. Wait a couple of days and I'll ask her to come over to my house so you two can meet each other. You can also come and help take a look at the full moon."
Jiang Manyue couldn't refuse, so she had to agree. Then Sister Ma happily took the bowl back.
Lu Junan and Binbin also packed up their things and came out. Cheng Jianyong was about to take Binbin back, but Jiang Manyue suddenly remembered something and quickly stopped him.
"Brother Cheng, wait a minute, there's something I forgot to give you."
Jiang Manyue ran back to her room and returned the envelope of living expenses that Cheng Ge had brought to her.
