However, the higher-ups did have this plan, and the chief didn't want to keep him in suspense. "Well, there is such a plan. I'll give you a week to go on a business trip to Beijing and pay a visit to our donor." He emphasized the last three words especially.
Xu Jianbing stood up with a swift ejection and saluted the commander. "I promise to complete the mission. I will go back and pack my things and leave as soon as possible."
The last time he went home was when Xu Jianguo got married. In a blink of an eye, it has been more than two years since he last saw his family. No wonder he was so excited.
Not only himself, he also wanted to ask for leave for his wife and his son's school, so that he could take them back together. Anyway, he has no shortage of money now, so in order to save time, he might as well take a plane. His wife has never been on one before.
Looking at Xu Jianbing's back as he excitedly walked out the door, the leader shook his head, stood up, picked up the phone, and called Xu Lei in Beijing.
Xu Lei's reaction was much calmer than that of his eldest son. Originally, Xu Manman had contacted him to donate to the military, and he was in Beijing and lived close to his niece. He was well aware of her habit of donating over the years.
He himself also supported the idea. Not only did his niece donate, but he also donated half of the money his niece earned for him this time. Of course, this money could not be compared with the money donated by Xu Manman.
However, the money left behind is enough for him and his wife to have food and drink for the rest of their lives.
When Xu Manman received a call and learned that Xu Jianbing was coming back to express his condolences and commendation to her, she was even happier about the fact that Xu Jianbing was able to return home.
"Only seven days? Then don't take the train, or you'll spend all your time on the road. I'll ask Zichu to buy you plane tickets."
"We're planning on taking a plane. I've already asked someone to book the tickets. We'll leave early tomorrow morning, and this time we'll bring your sister-in-law and Pengpeng back with us."
"Really? Then my aunt will be happy."
The two chatted for a long time before getting to the point of this business trip. "Manman, our military region doesn't have much good stuff right now. I made a banner for you."
When Xu Manman thought of the red banner with yellow edges, the corners of her mouth twitched. She couldn't say that she didn't like it. After all, giving this thing as a gift was the greatest honor for people in the military and political system.
"Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Do you have any badges that don't have any special meaning? Just give me one."
"I've prepared that for you, too. I'll have to take a picture for later."
Xu Manman understood this. After all, it was official business, and he had to punch in and keep a commemoration after completing the task.
"That's no problem. I have a camera at home."
Xu Manman asked her elder brother for the flight number and departure time, and also said hello to her uncle.
When they returned home in the afternoon, both the middle-aged and young generations of Xu Gang's family worked together to clean the yard of the main house inside and out. The eldest son's family came back, and Xu Lei and his family also planned to live here. It would be more lively with more people, so they wouldn't have to run around and it would be inconvenient.
The next day, Jin Zichu drove to the airport to pick someone up.
Xu Jianbing bought a ticket for the earliest flight, and shortly after 12 o'clock, Jin Zichu saw a family of three pushing their luggage out.
Seeing his dear uncle, Xu Ruipeng was extremely excited. He let go of his mother's hand and ran over directly, "Uncle, uncle, I missed you so much."
In fact, the last time he went to the south, Jin Zichu also took a detour to Guangzhou. All in all, it was only half a month since the two last met.
But Pengpeng just misses his uncle and aunt. Every time he sees his aunt and uncle, it means there will be a lot of delicious food and fun things.
The game console his aunt sent him last time was so fun, but his father was stingy and only let him play for half an hour a day. But he still saw his father playing it secretly. It was bigger than his and could be connected to the TV.
Humph! Primary school students have no human rights.
Jin Zichu patted the kid's head and looked up at the couple who came to him. "Brother and sister-in-law, you've worked hard on the journey. You must be hungry. We can have dinner when we get home."
Xu Jianbing said cheerfully, "It's not hard at all. Zichu, you've been waiting outside for a long time, right?"
"I calculated the time and came here, so I didn't have to wait too long."
The airport was more than 30 kilometers away from their home, and when they got home, the meal was indeed ready.
Xu Manman finished her morning classes and went straight back home. Today she planned to be the chef herself.
Xu Ruize and Chen Xiaochen, who were picked up by their mother, lay down together at the kitchen door, sniffing the fragrance wafting out.
"Auntie's cooking is so delicious! I have to eat two bowls of rice later. No! Three bowls!"
Chenchen nodded and said, "I want to eat three bowls too." He saw clearly that his aunt also made his favorite braised pork elbow, and his mouth was watering just by looking at it.
